Return after the phoenix falls

Chapter 47
The atmosphere in the palace was extremely tense, and teams of imperial guards shuttled from one palace to another in an undisturbed pace, but there were countless palaces in the palace, and those favored and unfavored concubines were even more numerous. Lust, but the ancestors said so.

Two days passed, and the guards who searched the palace still couldn't find anything, which made Emperor Jin's gloomy face even more gloomy.

"Pa—" the teacup was smashed to pieces, and the hot tea splashed wantonly, falling on the body of the kneeling guard in front of the imperial court.

"Gu Minglang, it's been two days, didn't you find anything? How did you become the leader of the imperial court!" The tone could not be described as violent, but it was mixed with some hatred of iron and steel.

Since childhood, Gu Minglang has been his companion, and he grew up together, fighting the world together. He knows all the embarrassing things about Gu Minglang. Compared to his brothers who chased the throne and killed each other, Gu Minglang was closer than his brothers.

But he didn't notice when, he was so cautious, so distant, so cold.

"My humble minister is incompetent, please be punished by the emperor." A flirtatious plea immediately made Emperor Jin furious. Who was Gu Minglang when he was young? The girl in the boudoir is waiting for her, but she has not married yet.

"Incompetent? You are indeed incompetent. If you are asked to guard the palace, it will be fine if you don't see anyone for ten days in a month. Your subordinates often come to report that you like drinking and have made a lot of mistakes. Let me ask you, when did you get infected? Alcoholism?" Seeing the man kneeling upright at the bottom, Jindi's patience suddenly decreased a lot, and his tone of voice improved significantly.

"It's my fault, please the emperor punish me." Gu Minglang kowtowed his head respectfully, didn't look at Emperor Jin, just lowered his eyes, his cold face was expressionless.

"Punish and punish, okay, okay, Gu Minglang, you are really good, why have I never noticed your stubbornness before!" Emperor Jin laughed angrily, and Eunuch Chen, who was standing by the side serving tea, suddenly yelled that it was not good , this guard chief Gu is afraid that he will suffer.

Sure enough, Emperor Jin shouted loudly: "Come here!" A few guards came in from the door and knelt on both sides of Gu Minglang: "What is the emperor's order?"

"Gu Minglang is in the position of chief guard, but he neglected his duties, got drunk and made mistakes, he was pulled down, and he was beaten [-] times, just to make an example to others!"

Hearing this, Gu Minglang didn't change the expression on his face, even the darkest color in his eyes, and let the guards on both sides with hesitant expressions take him down.

Eunuch Chen brought the teacup and persuaded him: "The emperor calm down, Chief Guard Gu grew up with the emperor, you should also know his temper. Besides, there are countless palaces in this palace, and it is impossible to search for it in two days. What happened."

Emperor Jin glanced at Eunuch Chen, and said with a sneer, "What? Even Eunuch Chen thinks my palace is too big?"

Eunuch Chen hadn't seen Emperor Jin so angry for a long time, so he knelt down and apologized. After a while, there was a muffled sound of boards hitting people outside the hall, and Eunuch Chen fell to his knees, sweating profusely.

It wasn't until the sound of the board stopped that Emperor Jin said lightly: "Get up."

Eunuch Chen responded, and couldn't stop saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The guards came in to report, and Emperor Jin heard the words: "Bring him up."

A moment later, a guard carried Gu Minglang into the hall. Gu Minglang was still kneeling on the ground straight, but his physical strength was a little weak. His handsome face looked a little pale, covered with sweat, and there was a bite mark on his thin lip.
