Liang Sheng looked at the royal guards kneeling on the ground with a subtle tone.
Liang Sheng: "It takes a thousand days to raise an army, but only a moment to deploy it. We are the emperor's servants, and we share his worries. The Imperial Guards protect the emperor and the palace, and they undertake important tasks. In today's incident, if anyone is derelict in their duty, or has betrayed the country, I will not show mercy. There are many vacancies in the prison."
Commander Shi nodded repeatedly and quickly retreated to investigate.
Liang Sheng looked at Geng Feiluan who was kneeling on the ground. Thinking of how Geng Feiluan had neglected his martial arts recently and was late in coming to rescue him, he scolded him mercilessly.
Liang Sheng: "Deputy Commander Geng has been spending his time in the brothels of the brothels lately, being so dissolute that he doesn't even pay attention to his duties. Marquis Pingkang has truly raised a good son."
Geng Feiluan wiped the sweat from his face and repeatedly apologized to Emperor Liang. When his life was threatened, he no longer thought about his sweetheart.
He was not supposed to be on duty today, but he thought that he would have a chance to see Ji Wei from afar, and if he was lucky, he could even meet her secretly, so he asked the commander to let him be on duty today.
But who could have thought that the villain would choose today to assassinate the emperor!
"Your Majesty, please spare my life. Feiluan knows I was wrong. I indulged in pleasure and missed the important task. I am guilty! I beg Your Majesty to allow me to make amends for my crime!"
Ping Kangbo hurried over from the back hall and knelt on the ground to apologize:
"Your Majesty, it's all because of my poor parenting! But Luan'er has always been loyal to the royal family and to Your Majesty. Please give him another chance!"
Commander Shi returned quickly. Seeing Geng Feiluan and Ping Kangbo kneeling, he hesitated to speak. However, today's incident involved the entire Imperial Guard, and he had to be responsible for them. Of course, he didn't want to put all the blame on himself, so he replied, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Liang Sheng gestured for him to speak.
After Commander Shi finished speaking, Ping Kangbo shook his head and denied it in a low voice.
Geng Feiluan had already closed her eyes and dared not look at the emperor again.
After listening to Commander Shi's report, Liang Sheng did not get angry but laughed instead. Well, it turned out that he was too kind.
Even though Concubine Xu, who had died before, said that Geng Feiluan had an affair with the concubines, he did not believe it and only sent people to monitor Geng Feiluan. When he saw that Geng Feiluan had no contact with the concubines, he dispelled his suspicions and withdrew the people who were monitoring him.
But now, Geng Feiluan is not staying at home to celebrate the New Year, but instead takes the initiative to apply for a job. He must have some hidden secret.
He came to the palace but didn't do his duty of guarding it properly.
The Royal Guards on duty today did not patrol the palace at all. They did not go themselves, and they had not arranged for anyone else to patrol.
Except for a small number of imperial guards in Longhe Hall, the rest were guarding the four palace gates.
When those men in black sneaked in, they did so silently and assassinated the secret guards.
Liang Sheng: "Geng Feiluan, since you were guarding outside Longhe Palace today, I want to know, all the other guards outside the palace were dead, how come you were the only one alive? And unharmed? And why did it take you so long to show up?"
Geng Feiluan dared not say a word and was pushed several times by Ping Kangbo. In the end, she could only bite the bullet and go to the toilet.
How could he dare to tell the truth and say that he was waiting for Concubine Ji on the road she had to take to return to the palace?
Just because he didn't say anything doesn't mean his whereabouts won't be discovered.
Not long after, a palace maid was brought in and confirmed that Geng Feiluan passed through the Imperial Garden and headed towards the harem.
Geng Feiluan's face turned pale, knowing that he was unlucky today. It was impossible for him to go to the toilet in a place as far as the Imperial Garden. The emperor knew he was lying as soon as he heard it.
Now he finally understands what "beauty can lead to misleading people" means!
But he couldn't involve Wei'er. All this was just his wishful thinking and had nothing to do with Wei'er.
Ping Kangbo's voice trembled as he pleaded, "Your Majesty, please spare Luan'er's life for the sake of my wife! Your Majesty, please don't kill him for all the hard work and contributions Luan'er has made over the years!"
