Chapter 1274: Feudal Superstition Kills People (I)
The only ones who went to the palace to deliver the news were the big soldiers guarding the gate, so they were naturally not qualified to enter the imperial city, and the ruling Jinwu who guarded the imperial city was also hierarchical, and it was naturally impossible for the outer city to have the opportunity to enter the inner city. Vertices are updated the fastest
So when the news that Li Chengqian was captured by the 'monster' reached Su Mei's ears, it had already become 'His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was eaten by a monster as big as the city gate building'.
"What, what?" Su Mei was immediately stupid when she heard the news, the first reaction was impossible, and the second reaction was still impossible.
"Crown Princess, you better think of a way, the tooth general of the East Gate has already led people to chase after him, but the life and death of His Royal Highness ......" The steward and eunuch of the East Palace were even more eager than Su Mei, and it seemed that he was almost crying and shouting to follow Li Chengqian.
But Su Mei has finally been the crown princess for two years, and she is also stable, and she panicked casually, but she didn't mess up, and after a little thought, she thought of someone: "Don't, don't lie, go, go find Cheng Liangdi, go quickly!" ”
"Cheng ......, yes, yes, the minister will go to ...... immediately" fell, and the steward and eunuch of the East Palace had disappeared, leaving only a lingering sound in the room.
The huge East Palace, with the arrival of this news, the whole mess was messed up, Su Mei, as the manager of the East Palace, could not hide the news no matter what, the steward eunuch went to inform Cheng Lin, and she sent others to find Kong Wen and Lin Xiaoxiao as well.
Li Chengqian was eaten by a monster, this is a big thing that collapsed the sky, and Su Mei, who was already a little messy, could only unite all her forces and strive to control this matter within a small pan circle.
Just a moment later, a burst of messy footsteps sounded, and Cheng Lin almost rushed into Su Mei's room with a gust of wind: "Sister, what happened?" What happened to the prince's brother? “
"Little Four, don't worry, listen to me slowly."
"What are you saying slowly, tell me what's wrong with the prince's brother?"
Cheng Lin has any thoughts about it now, she was originally a fiery character, but when she suddenly heard that Li Chengqian had an accident, she was most worried about her prince brother, and everything else was secondary.
"Just now, the East Door Tooth General sent someone to report that His Highness was ...... by a 'monster' outside the East Gate" Su Mei didn't bother with Cheng Xiaosi about etiquette, and now she didn't say this, while trying to control her emotions, she said the news she had just sent in as calm a tone as possible.
At this time, Kong Wen and Lin Xiaoxiao arrived just in time, and after hearing Su Mei's description, the first thing that couldn't stand it was Lin Xiaoxiao, the girl, who fainted with a 'bang' just after hearing it, and Kong Wen was also completely overwhelmed with a sad face.
But fortunately, Cheng Lin is the daughter of Cheng Lao Devil, and the baby who came out of the noble family of Wuxun is still calmer, and after a short period of panic, he turned around and walked out with a resolute look on his face, and at the same time left a sentence in the room: "Brother Prince will definitely be fine." “
There was a biting chill in the flat voice, but there was also a determination.
"Little Four, what are you going to do?!" Su Mei wanted to call Kong Wen and Cheng Xiaosi to discuss countermeasures together, but she didn't expect that as soon as she finished speaking, one of them fainted and ran away, and the whole person was suddenly angry and anxious.
However, Cheng Xiaosi ignored her call, and came to the courtyard and said coldly to a palace maid who came with her: "Order all the Flying Wind Army that is still training to gather, let them all rise into the air within a quarter of an hour, gather outside the East City, and those who delay will be killed!" ”
"Yes!" The palace maid who followed Cheng Lin gave a neat military salute and left quickly.
Cheng Lin's palace maids are different from Su Mei and others, almost all of these people around her were selected from the group of palace maids who participated in the training at the medical school, and each of them has undergone the most basic military training, so they will have such a quick response.
"Little Four, if you want to save Your Highness, I won't stop you, but you have to promise to save Your Highness even if you die, don't you understand?" Hearing that Cheng Xiaosi was adjusting the Flying Wind Army, Kong Wen suddenly knew what she wanted to do, chased her out of the room, stared at her and said in a trembling voice.
"Don't worry, Sister Su Mei, Sister Xiaowen, if you can't save the prince's brother, I, Cheng Lin, will accompany him." Cheng Xiaosi's face was resolute, which made people have no doubt about her determination, and it also made Su and Kong swallow the words of persuasion back into their stomachs.
"Let's go!" After Cheng Lin made a guarantee, she did not hesitate and quickly left with another palace maid who was still by her side, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded ...... a moment later.
The rules in the palace are not allowed to ride horses, but it does not mean that there are no horses in the palace, and at this critical moment, Cheng Lin can no longer take care of it.
"Order, guards on guard, seal the entire East Palace."
"Order, Chang'an, Wannian County, and the entire Chang'an will be strictly inspected, but those who concoct rumors will be arrested!"
"Bring in the sergeant who delivered the news outside, and I'm going to question him personally."
After Cheng Xiaosi left, Su Mei took advantage of the buffer during this time, and the person gradually regained her composure and began a series of arrangements.
When Li Chengqian disappeared and His Majesty the Emperor was not in Chang'an, Su Mei could already be regarded as the most powerful person in the palace, and she had to withstand all the pressure and control the situation.
And when Su Mei and the others were dealing with the chaos, there was also chaos outside the palace, and the people who 'fled' into the city outside the east gate, as well as the merchants, were all talking about 'monsters'.
And some well-intentioned people or spies of big families and people in the government quickly sent the news back to their respective masters.
Cui Yu, as one of Li Chengqian's most trusted subordinates, was surprised at the first time he heard the news, then funny, and finally in a cold sweat, he didn't even care about a word, he jumped up and ran to the palace, and at the same time, Jingzhao Mansion and Wannian County were also sending people to the palace to deliver news.
Yu Zhining and Du Zhenglun, the subordinate officials of the East Palace who stayed in the capital, originally had nothing to do, but after the news that the prince was eaten by the 'monster' arrived, all the old men were stunned, and they all had a feeling of impending disaster.
Then all they thought of was to enter the palace and go to the crown princess.
After all, that girl is now the most vocal person in the entire Chang'an City.
In this way, the bigwigs who stayed in Chang'an City gathered outside the East Palace almost at the same time, and asked to enter the palace to see.
At the same time, countless huge shadows in the sky swept through the sky, it was the Flying Wind Army that had already set off after receiving the news, and every soldier under the glider wing was carrying all the equipment and fully armed towards the east of the city.
Such a huge formation made Chang'an City, which was in turmoil, instantly silent, and the panicked people also showed a look of relief on their faces.
