After the rebirth, the emperor will never forget me

==========================

"Is brother okay now?"

Lanxi Zhu hesitated in front of Lanxi Yun's door, and dared not open the door for a long time.

He didn't know how long he had to wait before he saw his sister-in-law walking towards him.

Lin was supported by two maidservants, and her hands were lightly placed on her stomach, with a sad expression on her face.

"This... I don't know either." Her tone was also filled with deep worry.

The door is locked and no one can get in.

Lan Xizhu was not present when Lan Xiyun took over the imperial decree, and he even went to visit Miss Ji as he ordered.

After returning from Ji's residence, he heard the imperial decree from the empress.

Although he had prepared, he didn't expect Qi Heng to make a move so soon.

Now Heng is very lively.

All of a sudden.

Now it is rumored that Qi Heng couldn't get used to the power of the Lan family in the end, and then forcibly married Lan Xizhu to humiliate him.The abolition of Concubine Su's seat still doesn't make sense, but no one thought that Qi Heng really belonged to the general of the Lan family.

In the past few years, Qi Heng has only favored Concubine Su Gui, no one would have thought that His Majesty Nan Heng is Duanxiu.

Since it is to humiliate Lanxizhu, why give him the back seat?And why do you want to abolish Concubine Su?

Could it be that he was afraid of offending Lord Zuoxiang?

But if this is the case, it is impossible for Qi Heng to marry Lanxi Zhu by force.As soon as this imperial decree came out, everyone in Hengdu guessed that Lan Xiyun would definitely be divorced from His Majesty because of this.

The entrance of the Lan Mansion is still solemn and dignified, making people dare not offend.

The Lan family has always been directly guarded by soldiers from the army, and the strictness is so tight that it makes people feel very depressed.

Passers-by seemed to be a little curious about Lan Mansion, but they didn't dare to look up for a while, or stop for a while.

A general with such great military exploits as Lan Xizhu would stoop to marry another man one day.

Even if they were Ninety-five Supreme Beings, their identities were not appropriate.

However, the general can't control what people outside think now.

It would be nice if he could hold his brother steady now.

Lin's stomach was full, and Lan Xizhu was too embarrassed to keep her waiting.But after chatting for a few words, he beckoned Mrs. Lin to go back and rest.

He was the only one left at the door.

After thinking about it, Lanxizhu decided to kneel down, straightened his back, and stared at the brown doorway with determination.

After an unknown amount of time, the door was slowly pushed open, the movement was very slow, and the person above his head seemed very tired.

"Little Four."

Lan Xiyun said in a slow and tired voice, "Follow me to a place."

Lanxizhu's body was stiff, but his heart was still excited.

At least his elder brother didn't ignore him.

"it is good."

He stood up, half of his body was numb.

There is still room for maneuver.

The place Lan Xiyun spoke of was actually a small house in Lan Mansion.

Lanxizhu's heart skipped a beat. It's not that he doesn't know this place... This room was his second brother Lanxizhen's bedroom before his death.

The second brother used to be stationed in Saibei, and he took over from his second brother.It's just that he was killed by spies in the army and killed by Beidi people on the battlefield.

The second brother, like the third brother, died young and spent his entire life as a soldier.

The room was locked and no one had been there for a long time.

But Lan Xiyun had already taken the key and opened the door that had been covered in dust for a long time.

As soon as the door was opened, dust rose up in the room, which appeared extremely clear in the sunlight, adding a sense of loneliness.

The room was empty, and Lan Xizhu had mixed feelings in his heart, not knowing what his elder brother asked him to come to this place for.

"Remember this place, the second child has been gone for so many years, everyone has almost forgotten his name."

Lan Xiyun brushed off a layer of dust on the desk. In fact, this place shouldn't be so dirty, but he ordered his servants not to enter this room, not even to clean it.

He wanted to see what the house had looked like before.

Everyone has already gone, if there is nothing left, then there will really be nothing left.

The second brother and the eldest brother are similar in age. If he is more like a strict father to himself and the third brother, then he is more like a brother to the second brother.

They have lived together for more than [-] years, and their relationship has grown deeper.

"Everyone in the world can forget, but the Lan family will never forget."

Lanxizhu's heart was empty, and he held back the soreness in the corners of his eyes.

His memory of his second brother is very vague. After all, he was only 12 years old when he died, and he didn't have a deep relationship with his third brother.

"For so many years, I've been scared." Lan Xiyun murmured into the empty room, "But recently I figured it out."

Lanxizhu stood straight aside, a little embarrassed.

"There is one thing that I have buried in my heart for a long time. I never knew if it was appropriate to tell you guys. The third child has already left. If I still keep it a secret, I am afraid that I will guard this matter for the rest of my life." Lan Xiyun suddenly After a pause, he said, "I suspect...your second brother also liked men when he was alive."

Lanxi Yun's voice was a bit ethereal.He spoke shocking words in the calmest tone.

These words made Lan Xizhu fall into shock, and he froze there like a lightning strike.

How can it be?

He remembered that the second brother had a marriage contract, and he was obviously about to get married.

But the young lady of that family was depressed all day long because her second brother died in battle, and finally passed away at a young age.

"You don't have to be so surprised, do you still remember Miss Wang's family?"

Lan Xiyun asked.

Lan Xizhu nodded in a daze, this Miss Wang is the second brother's unmarried wife.

"She had an elder brother above her. Later, Miss Wang's family passed away unfortunately, and her elder brother was the only one left in the Wang family. Her elder brother moved to Jiangnan with his elderly parents and left Hengdu."

Lanxi Zhu has heard a little about these things, but doesn't know much about them.

After all, Wang Jialan's family did not make a baby marriage, the two people were ordered by their parents and said by a matchmaker, and it was only through this marriage that they got to know each other.

It's a bit strange to mention this Lanxi Zhu, the Lan family is a famous family, the lintel is not known how much higher than the Wang family, the second elder brother was in his prime at that time, with outstanding military exploits, there are countless people who want to squeeze into the Lan family to be their wives.

Why did you choose a small family like the Wang family?

"When your second brother left, I sorted out the relics myself." Lan Xiyun said with downcast eyes, "I found a jade pendant under his pillow, it's a jade pendant for men."

Lanxizhu's body felt weak, and he couldn't help taking a step back.

Although he was young at the time, he still remembered that his second brother lived a simple life. He took away his usual salary and distributed it to the soldiers to buy wine, and he only kept some scraps of silver for his basic needs.

Since the eldest brother said so, it must not be the second brother's own jade pendant.

So whose stuff is this?Is it worth the second brother's cherishment?

The things placed at the bottom of the pillow must be extremely precious things.

"Brother..." he murmured.

"On the jade pendant, there are two words engraved, Yonghui."

Lan Xiyun continued, "I didn't know what it was at first, but I just kept an eye out for it. Later, I accidentally inquired about it and realized that it was the name of the eldest brother of the Wang family."

"Father and mother should have known about this earlier than me, so they made a marriage contract for him before that, but the object was Miss Wang's family. I don't know what my parents mean, but I guessed it."

Lan Xiyun sighed, as if recalling a memory that she didn't want to bring up again.

"Azhen, he has a relationship with the young master of the Wang family."

It sounded a bit strange to say this sentence from Lan Xiyun's mouth.

Lanxi Zhu suppressed the shock in his eyes, and was a little calmer than before.

"Azhu, if I found out about you and His Majesty first, I wouldn't be as calm as before."

Lanxi Yun closed her eyes, leaving Lanxi Bamboo in a daze.

"At first, I thought it was a kind of illness." He slowly opened his lips again, "I simply couldn't accept this. No one in the Lan family has ever had such a thing. I was shocked."

"At that time, I had very vicious thoughts. I even thought it would be appropriate for the second child to die. If such a thing spreads, where will the face of the Lan family be put? All the good reputation he won in the first half of his life will be wiped out, and no one will see him again. If you call him a general, you will point at his nose and scold him for cutting off his sleeves. I would rather he keep his name as a hero and go down in history than be pointed at like this."

"This is too scary, so I can't accept it." Lan Xiyun evoked a tragic smile, "Xiao Si, you also think that elder brother is very vicious, right? How can an elder brother treat his own younger brother like this."

Lanxi Zhu lowered his head and bit his lips lightly.

In fact, he didn't know how to answer better.

When Lanxizhu heard this, she actually felt sorry for her second brother.

With what kind of regret did his second brother, who was so proud, leave this world with regret?That second brother who seemed to care nothing about anything actually cherished what another man had on him so much.And now it seems that the man is his sweetheart.

There are always some obsessions in a person's life, and not being able to love is one of them.

However, he couldn't accuse his elder brother of being "vicious". He had read more books than warriors like them since he was a child, and his thinking had been deeply influenced by the things in the books.

He couldn't accept it, and Lanxi Zhu also understood.

He didn't believe that his elder brother really wanted his second brother to die, but it was just a temporary thought of the elder brother's panic when he learned of his sweetheart after the second brother passed away.

The eldest brother and the second brother have a deep relationship, and he has seen it since he was a child.

Perhaps there is a more "angry and indisputable" meaning in it.

"After so many years, I thought I had forgotten it, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen to you." Lan Xiyun said with emotion, "Back then, Ah Zhen was just the young master of a down-and-out family, but you are different. , you surprised me more than him."

So, when she learned about this, Lan Xiyun's first reaction was: That's Your Majesty.

He didn't know what method his parents used to dismiss the Wang family, but it was all within the control of the Lan family.

Lanxizhu is different. No matter how powerful the Lan family is, how can they compete with the emperor of Nanheng?

"I have never been able to accept the matter between you and Your Majesty, but a few days ago, I dreamed about my second child. He blamed me for blocking your matter with Your Majesty. He said he could give up, but he couldn't let his youngest brother have to to happiness."

There was a trace of sadness in Lan Xiyun's eyes, "I'm... ashamed, maybe over the years, I really haven't done what a big brother should do, and I haven't really cared about what you want."

Lanxizhu walked forward slowly, covering his elder brother's with both hands.

He didn't speak, but silently comforted the other party with his eyes.

"I have seen His Majesty's determination. The people outside guessed it mysteriously. In fact... he abolished the imperial concubine to show the Lan family."

To be precise, it was made for him to see alone.

Lan Xizhu pursed her lips, "He didn't treat Concubine Su poorly, and he also asked Concubine Su for her opinion. Over the years...they are not as close as they seem, and Concubine Su's identity is not that simple."

He can only remind this.If he said a little more, the eldest brother would suspect that he was speaking for Qi Heng.

Of course, Lan Xiyun was not interested in the identity of Concubine Su Gui.

Lan Xiyun looked at him and said nothing for a long time.

"Your Majesty's imperial decree came in the morning. Since he has issued the imperial decree... I have no reason to stop it." Lan Xiyun turned her head, looked at the empty bed, and sighed. "It's useless to stop it, I'm tired too."

Up to now, he has seen a lot more than before.

Lanxizhu's heart trembled, and he endured no movement.

He could only see his elder brother's side face clearly, but he saw a little white hair mixed with his temples.Lan Xiyun has lived for more than thirty years, devoting almost all of his time to Nanheng's state affairs, and in his spare time, he has to worry about his unworthy younger brother.

"It's just that it's up to you to block the mouths of the people below."

It is not that the emperors of all dynasties did not raise male concubines in the harem.

But no one has had a male queen before, Qi Heng's move is really shocking.

"As long as he treats you well, it doesn't matter even if he accepts the concubine. In fact, this is unnecessary. Your Majesty always considers the emperor's heir. If you are the only one in the harem, how will the royal incense continue?"

Lan Xiyun looked rather embarrassed. On the one hand, he didn't want his younger brother to "compete" with other women, and on the other hand, he didn't want to see the royal incense burnt in the hands of the Lan family.

"Your Majesty intends to inherit from the clan."

Lanxizhu bit her lip, wondering how her elder brother would react.

"Clan adoption?" Lan Xiyun's eyes widened slightly, "Your Majesty is willing to do this?"

Could it be that he really planned to never marry for the rest of his life?

Lanxi Zhu nodded slightly.

The room was silent for a while, and Lan Xiyun took a long time to let out a deep breath.

"I don't dare to judge Your Majesty, but there is one thing I want to tell you." He said with a complicated expression, "Your Majesty is Your Majesty after all, don't just listen to the words of an emperor."

"There is one more thing I want you to do."

Lan Xiyun's tone was a little more serious than before.

"Even if you are named empress, you must still have a seat in the court. From now on, you will still be Nanheng's general, not just your majesty's male empress. The military power of Xuanyu cavalry, the [-] troops stationed in Saibei Soldiers, you can't hand them over."

Lanxizhu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."

In fact, this is not a request to him, but a request to His Majesty.

He understood what big brother meant.

If he is abandoned by Qi Heng, he will still have a foothold.As long as the military power is in hand, he will not fall into the worst situation.

Lanxi Zhu waved away the hem of his clothes, knelt down straight, and kowtowed.

His eyes were red, but his face was very determined.

"Xiao Si thanked Big Brother——Cheng Quan."

[The author has something to say: Although, this book is still a while away from the end.At the end of the month, on the [-]th.I decided to write Zi Shujue's book first, and then I want to study the outline in detail.The outline of this book is too rough. 】
