Return after the phoenix falls

Chapter 48
Seeing Gu Minglang's desolate look, most of the anger in Emperor Jin's heart disappeared. After all, he was still a good friend who had followed him for many years. He couldn't bear to scold him too much, but said majesticly: "Next time there will be such absurd things again, I won't Be gentle! This time you spend a month in the mansion thinking about your mistakes, and go down to heal your wounds."

"I obey the decree, and I will leave." Gu Minglang stood up, but because of the injury on his body, he frowned. Emperor Jin winked at Eunuch Chen, and Eunuch Chen agreed, walked down, and helped Gu Minglang up , then Gu Minglang clasped his fists back and thanked him: "Thank you, Eunuch."

Immediately, he bowed his head to Emperor Jin again: "Your Excellency will leave." Then he exited Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Jin looked at Gu Minglang's retreating humble figure, and then at the cautious Eunuch Chen who was standing aside, feeling bored, he waved his hand and said, "Retreat, let me take a rest."

Seeing Emperor Jin's tired expression, Eunuch Chen had no choice but to back down.

Immediately, Emperor Jin was the only one left in the main hall of Qianqing Palace, which was so empty and lonely.

"Who says it's good to be an emperor, Yue'er, look, when I become an emperor, even Minglang has alienated me, and there is no one around me who I can trust, if you could agree to wander the world with me for the rest of my life, it would be great. "

But no one will answer him again.

The Gu family can be considered a big family in Anguo, and the reason why they were able to enter the palace and become the prince's companion was because the Empress Dowager of Anguo and Gu Minglang's mother were close friends when they were young.

Gu Minglang is 23 years old and has not yet married. Gu's mother has lost a lot of hair because of this matter, and Gu's father, Gu Yuan, has even moved a lot of family law. Fortunately, the Gu family has two sons, and Gu Minglang has an older brother. Gu Mingxuan had already married a wife and had a son and a daughter under his knees. Although he only worked as a military servant in the capital, Gu Mingxuan was a well-known young talent.

In the past, Gu Minglang used to go back to the General's Mansion on horseback, but today he went back in a palanquin. When he returned to the General's Mansion, Gu's mother burst into tears, saying that she loved her little son, why couldn't she see Gu Minglang in such a state? His heart ached, but he also slapped Gu Minglang, the pain made him grit his teeth, but he didn't dare to speak.

"You know it hurts too? Negligence of duty, why didn't you think about such a thing? You just treat yourself as the emperor and cherish your talents, and don't punish you?" Gu's mother hates iron but steel. Although she loves Gu Minglang, she never spoils her.

Gu Minglang didn't say a word, and it took a long time to hold back a word: "No."

"Why are you like this without you, it really deserves a fight!"

Seeing Gu Minglang like this, he endured the anger in his heart and sent someone to give him medicine.

Gu Minglang really didn't take this injury to heart. When he was young and vigorous, he went to the battlefield with Emperor Jin, and he was injured much worse than this.

When night fell, Gu Minglang was woken up by someone, and he opened his eyes forcibly to see, who was that gloomy face if it wasn't his elder brother Gu Mingxuan?

Seeing that Gu Minglang had woken up, he said coldly, "Get up, come outside."

Gu Minglang also knew Gu Mingxuan's temperament, so enduring the pain in his body, he slowly followed Gu Mingxuan to the outside of the courtyard.

As soon as he arrived at the courtyard, he found that Gu's father, Gu Yuan, was also there, so he greeted Gu Yuan, but Gu Yuan looked at him without saying a word. sin.

Gu Mingxuan threw a finger-wide stick to Gu Minglang, picked up a stick himself, and stood opposite Gu Minglang: "Minglang, we brothers haven't practiced for a long time, practice today."

Gu Minglang also knew what Gu Mingxuan meant. There is no impenetrable wall in this world, let alone matters in the imperial palace. Although Gu Mingxuan is not on duty in the imperial palace, he is very popular. If you want to know these things, it will be easy for someone to please him. into his ears.At the moment Gu Minglang didn't refuse, so he just nodded.

Gu Mingxuan took the lead in the attack, using his usual strength. How could Gu Minglang, who was still injured, be his opponent? He was currently on the defensive, and was forced to retreat after a few clicks.

"Minglang, that's all you have, show me your abilities." A gloomy voice sounded, disturbing Gu Minglang's thoughts, and he was overwhelmed by Gu Mingxuan accidentally, and the wooden stick was chopped down along the top of Gu Minglang's head. Gu Minglang raised his arm and used a wooden stick to resist, but his strength was exhausted, his arm trembled, and he knelt on the ground with one knee, cold sweat dripped down his cheeks, and most of his back was already wet.

Gu Minglang tried his best to lift the wooden stick up, revealing a gap, Gu Minglang took advantage of this gap, took a few steps back, and confronted Gu Mingxuan a few steps away, but his steps were a little unstable, so he had to use the wooden stick to support himself. Seeing that Gu Mingxuan was about to hit him again, Gu Minglang no longer hesitated, he threw down the wooden stick, and knelt down in the direction of Gu Yuan.

And the wooden stick in Gu Mingxuan's hand just stopped on top of his head, only half a foot away.Seeing Gu Minglang like this, he resentfully accepted the wooden stick.

"My son knows his mistake." Gu Minglang lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to the eye, without any dissatisfaction.

"Wrong? If the emperor hadn't reprimanded you today, I wouldn't have known that your bodyguard Gu didn't see anyone for ten days in a month, and you still have the bad habit of drinking! What can you say?"

"My son has nothing to say."

Gu Yuan has always been proud of the two brothers, Gu Mingxuan and Gu Minglang. Even if Gu Minglang is not married yet, he will not persecute him anymore. He always thought that Gu Minglang was a man of his own mind, but he never expected that he would be so mischievous and depraved. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, he snatched the wooden stick from Gu Mingxuan's hand, and hit Gu Minglang hard on the back with one stick. Gu Minglang groaned, but remained motionless.

The thumping sound stopped after about a dozen times. Gu Yuan was still in his prime and a martial arts practitioner. Of course, the more than ten times would not be too light. Seeing that Gu Minglang could not hold on, he stopped.

"My Gu family has been loyal and loyal for generations. I have never been so ignorant and dereliction of duty like you! Tonight you kneel here and reflect on yourself."

He stopped looking at Gu Minglang who was still silent with his head down, and waved his sleeves away.

Gu Mingxuan looked at his younger brother's appearance, and he was not polite. Without warning, he hit Gu Minglang's wound with a stick. In the end, it dripped on the hard and cold stone, panting endlessly.

"Longer memory this time!" Gu Mingxuan threw down the wooden stick and turned away.

Only Gu Minglang was left kneeling alone in the courtyard, slowly raising his head, the cold moonlight gently drifting, stretching his body very long.

The pear blossoms in the garden fluttered in the wind, one after another, falling in front of him.

Gu Minglang stretched out his hand, and a flower fell into his palm, tender and lovely, beautiful and fragrant.

Every teenager has such an injury when he was young, an injury that cannot be described.
