After the rebirth, the emperor will never forget me

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

"No!" Lanxizhu's reaction was a little overdone, his hand trembled suddenly, and the hot water in the teacup spilled out and splashed on the back of his hand.

Lan Xiyun frowned even deeper.

He no longer stared at his fourth brother, nor asked about what happened last night, but instead picked up the scroll in his hand as if nothing had happened.

The scrolls are full of portraits of girls, presumably they are all ladies, with a calm and noble air flowing between their brows and eyes.

"Your elder sister-in-law has been thinking recently that you are about to become crowned, and it is time to get married." Lan Xiyun's brows flashed with regret, "I always think of your two elder brothers. To die for the country is loyalty, but There are too few successors of the Lan family, and I am afraid that they will not be able to inherit the ambitions of their ancestors. Now you are the only one in the Lan family, which makes me worry..."

Lanxi Zhu lowered his head, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

"Do you have a sweetheart yourself?"

The eldest brother's faint questioning voice came again.

For some reason, it was clearly a matter of marriage, but Lanxizhu heard a different meaning from it.

Maybe it was his own guilty conscience.

"……Have."

Lanxi Zhu pursed her lips and replied.

"Oh?" Lan Xiyun didn't seem too surprised, he nodded, "Whose girl, I can discuss with your elder sister-in-law and come to propose marriage."

"No...no need." Lan Xizhu's heart was beating violently, but he couldn't hold it back, for fear that this violent heartbeat would be heard by others.

He stood up straight and bent down: "The Beidi war is not over, how can a man start a family."

Lan Xiyun smiled wryly, "Your third brother always used this kind of rhetoric to perfuse me in the past, and I thought he was really dedicated to serving the country, but what happened?" He threw the picture scroll in his hand on the table heavily, his tone also grave After a while, "It turned out to be someone who has been thinking about His Majesty all the time!"

How could Big Brother know about this!

Lanxizhu's body trembled suddenly, and his eyes raised.

"Big brother, third brother, he..."

He wanted to defend Lan Xijing, but he only heard Lan Xiyun say with a trembling breath, "Kneel down."

"Third Brother is not what Big Brother thinks!" Lan Xizhu was still eager to explain.

"I'll make you kneel!"

The sound was ruthless, and if you look at it from a distance, you will find that the elder brother's knuckles are all white.

Lanxizhu knelt down straight, and his knee hit the ground, making a loud crash.

He lowered his head, hiding the look of shock and panic on his face.

"I've already found out about your third brother. I know he knows how to measure. You don't have to explain to him. I know the ins and outs of this matter." Lan Xiyun stood up and walked in front of him.

"I'm worried about you."

Lanxi Zhu raised his neck and sighed at the gray sky outside.The next sentence made Lanxizhu completely froze in place, unable to recover for a long time.

"Little Four, he is Your Majesty..."

In fact, the boy sent there that night saw everything clearly and told him everything.

Lan Xiyun stayed up all night, thinking about it all the time.

Was it because he neglected to discipline his two younger brothers in the past two years that made them like this.The third child is a law-abiding man, and has never done anything beyond the rules, but the fourth child always rests in the palace, so he can't help but guess wildly.

Lanxi Zhu had already lost the ability to think, so he knelt on the cold floor in a daze, not knowing how to answer.

It's not that I never thought about confessing to my elder brother, but I didn't expect this day to come so unexpectedly.

If it was a while ago, Lan Xizhu would still have the confidence to talk to his elder brother, because at that time he committed himself to Qi Heng in order to protect the Lan family.

But it is different now, Qi Heng never thought of making things difficult to suppress the Lan family, and he has already entrusted his sincerity to Qi Heng.

Now the two of them... are in love with each other.

"Brother asked you again, but His Majesty forced you?" Lan Xiyun's face was filled with pain, as if she still didn't believe the result.

His Majesty is domineering and mighty, if he wants to favor him strongly, Lanxi Zhu cannot refuse.Although this result was not much better than the other result, Lan Xiyun wanted to hear her fourth brother's attitude.

Lanxizhu is not a person without responsibility, so he still admitted: "No."

"No one forced it - Xiaosi voluntarily."

When he said this, every word was sonorous and forceful, and even echoed in the empty study.

"absurd!"

Lanxizhu was slapped, causing him to turn his head away.

This palm was so powerful, Lan Xiyun pointed at him with trembling hands, as if it was unbelievable that her fourth brother could say such a thing.

"Lanxi Zhu, do you know what you're talking about!"

He thought a lot that night, if Qi Heng forced his fourth brother, he would have to rescue his fourth brother even if he risked his official career and the Lan family.But the other party now told himself that he did it voluntarily.

How ridiculous.

Nanheng's great generals and emperors are actually as good as Long Yang.

The man kneeling on the ground closed his eyes. "Know--"

Lanxizhu knew what kind of things the elder brother could do if he told him that he was unwilling.In the previous life, when Qi Heng announced his successor, he resisted extremely and almost dismissed from office, which made the emperor very unhappy.

It was he who persuaded his eldest brother that he was willing to save Lan Mansion.

He lied to his eldest brother at that time, saying that he was happy with Qi Heng.

If not, his upright and conservative elder brother might make trouble.After he married into the palace, his elder brother cut off contact with him.I don't know if it's to avoid suspicion, or I'm so disappointed in myself.

Brother is a traditional person, how can he accept such a thing.

Lan Xiyun looked at his broken jar, and suddenly felt chest tightness and heartache.

"Who was first?"

After a long time, he asked again.

Lanxizhu considered it carefully, and still admitted: "——Your Majesty."

I don't know if this answer made Lan Xiyun feel better, he sat back on the chair.

His fourth brother is young, his consciousness is not firm, and he has never seen any girls. His Majesty is already handsome and extraordinary, so he easily fell in love.

"How long?"

he asked again.

Lanxi Zhu's face was still in pain, he raised his head, but his eyes were lowered. "More than a year."

At that time, he was.

Lan Xiyun raised her forehead and said, "Do you still plan to marry a wife and have children?"

That is the right track, the life a normal man should live.

Lanxi Zhu's eyes did not move, and he remained silent.

Looking at his appearance, Lan Xiyun knew his answer.He hasn't lived for 20 years, and he hasn't seen enough of this world, so how can he rush to talk about his life.

"Go to the martial arts field and stay." He waved his hand and said helplessly.

"...Brother?" Lan Xizhu's voice choked up, as if he didn't believe it.

Is this to reduce his chances of meeting Qi Heng?

It's fine if it's an ordinary person, but it's Qi Heng, the emperor, so how can he break this relationship at will.
