I became the God Brother of the Regent King after Transmigration!-Chapter 82 - 70: Copy It 100 Times (2)

Behind him, Xie Yun said, "Fifth Young Master Rong, I have also lost the most cherished person and seen the ruthless power struggles within the Imperial Family—under the collapsed nest, no egg can remain intact, so I understand that the closer someone is to you, the worse their end..."

Rong Heng did not turn back, his voice indifferent: "My matters have nothing to do with you."

He could distinguish clearly that Gu Lan was the brother he cared about, and he was no longer the Rong Zichan who couldn’t protect anyone.

Still, Rong Heng found the scene just now extremely glaring.

If she got tired and no longer wanted him... Rong Heng’s eyes grew even deeper.

It would be nothing more than being left with nothing, once again.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Wei Chengyuan’s figure flicker beside a distant tree with yellowing leaves.

Even that person without memories stayed by Gu Lan’s side without complaint or request—

His brother really knows how to attract people. Would it be that in the future, people would have to queue up to be her brother?

When Gu Lan awoke, it was already afternoon. She hadn’t expected to sleep for two hours.

She looked at the thin blanket covering her and slowly came to her senses, realizing she was in Xie Yun’s office.

Xie Yun was not there, and Gu Lan rested for a moment, getting ready to leave.

"Lan, hold on."

Xie Yun hurriedly entered, holding a pile of books, and called out to her.

Later, Gu Lan regretted stopping countless times.

The books Xie Yun held were actually for tutoring her!

He tutored her from poetry and song compendiums to philosophical essays, knowing everything and holding nothing back, all the way until school was dismissed!

He called it making up for the lessons she slept through in the morning.

As the sun set, Young Master Gu dragged her hungry body back to Maoqin Hall and gulped down two bowls of rice.

Just thinking about Xie Yun dismissing her tonight with two assignments and informing her of a poetry and literature assessment tomorrow gave her a headache.

"Young Master, are you alright?" Zijin asked with concern. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Chewing on a chicken leg, Gu Lan shook her head: "What’s wrong with me."

"I heard today that you were called to Advisor Xie all afternoon for punishment because you fell asleep in class..."

"Crack!" The chicken bone snapped in Gu Lan’s mouth: "Who said that?"

"A palace attendant from the Imperial Family’s side spread the word," Zijin noticed her master’s strange expression and a ridiculous idea formed in her mind, "Young Master, have you heard the rumors about Xie Yun?"

"What rumors?"

"They say that Young Master Xie is inclined towards homosexuality and that’s why he’s yet to marry."

Gu Lan hadn’t heard of it, but she had suspected it before: "Didn’t they say he liked Gu Changting? He had denied it before."

"But what if he likes you?" Zijin whispered.

Gu Lan choked: "Zijin, have you forgotten that I... am a woman."

Zijin countered, "But Young Master Xie doesn’t know you’re a woman!"

Gu Lan was silent for a while before speaking sullenly: "I’ll stay away from him in the future... It doesn’t matter, whether he’s homosexual is personal preference and freedom, we respect and understand each other."

As she spoke, she remembered something and nodded: "Luckily, Brother Hang is as straight as an arrow."

Zijin murmured softly, "Hopefully."

She got up and closed the window and door, saying, "Now that autumn has arrived, the weather is getting colder."

Gu Lan suddenly put down her chopsticks, got up, and opened the window, letting in the chilly breeze.

A few days ago, Brother Hang was wearing thin clothes and got mocked by Rong Qijun!

"Let’s go!"

Zijin asked in surprise, "Where to?"

"Xiaoxiang Palace!"

It was already 9 p.m., and the palaces were all silent, occasionally pierced by a bark or two from dogs.

Gu Lan carried a bulging backpack filled to the brim, with a stack of books in her hand.

Zijin carried a lantern to light Gu Lan’s way and asked anxiously, "Young Master, is it really okay for us to go to Xiaoxiang Palace at such a late hour?"

Gu Lan’s eyes shone even brighter in the dim night: "Why wouldn’t it be?"

"Fifth Prince Rong’s identity, after all, he’s a Prince, and you are the legitimate son of Dingyuan Marquis..."

Gu Lan tightened her robes and said, "Indeed, it’s wise to stay less related in the past, but now that everyone knows I beat up Rong Qijun for Brother Hang, our brotherhood is deep, why would others’ opinions matter to me?"

Zijin thought of Rong Heng who suffered a sore throat for three days from eating hot pot continuously, thinking: Fifth Prince Rong doesn’t seem to have a deep brotherly bond with Young Master...

They had not even reached Xiaoxiang Palace when they first passed by Consort Qian’s Zhongcui Palace.

Gu Lan looked at the palace covered with glazed tiles and suddenly spoke with a meaningful tone: "To the left of Xiaoxiang Palace is the Empress’s Yonghua Palace, to the right is the Noble Consort’s Zhongcui Palace. Just how favored was Princess Consort Xiao back in the day?"
