Chapter 286

The capital of Jinling, inside the imperial palace.

It was already late at night, but the magnificent palace was brightly lit.

Li Yu was waiting restlessly. The imperial doctors diagnosed the second prince Zhongxuan one after another. He was overly frightened, causing convulsions, and external evils entered the body. It's getting worse.

"Trash, everything is trash!"

"Are you a group of imperial physicians all idiots? Why can't you cure them?"

Li Yu was furious, and threw all his beloved sapphire cups to the ground, falling apart.

Several imperial physicians were submissive, and tremblingly prostrated themselves on the ground to apologize.

They did try their best, but the prince was too young and was too frightened. After taking two medicines, they didn't get better, and they didn't have any suitable medicine soup to treat them.

Li Yu was angry, now he could not count on these imperial doctors, and in the end he could only rely on the only savior, which was Su Chen.

"Su Chen hasn't brought it back yet. Didn't the eunuch who passed the decree and the inner guards rush back overnight without delay?"

The chief eunuch replied: "Going back to the official's house, I haven't returned any news yet. Calculate the time and hurry on the road. I don't stop day and night. I can arrive tonight."

Li Yu was still worried and asked: "Have all the gates of the city passed down my oral order, as long as Su Chen comes, no matter at any time, he must open the gate to enter and escort him into the palace!"

The chief eunuch bowed and said: "Please don't worry, this official, there are people from the palace waiting at the gates of each city. Once Su Chen enters the city, he can go freely and bring him to the palace."

Li Yu nodded slightly. Now his only hope is that Su Chen can come quickly, save the second prince, and then heal Ehuang. Will not be able to hold on, and die directly.

Then Li Yu will face the loss of two close relatives at the same time. This kind of blow is not a big one.

In addition, this Zhongxuan is very intelligent, and is deeply loved by the Queen Mother. If the Queen Mother finds out, she is too old to withstand the blow, and she may be in danger.

Li Yu was worried, restless, walking around the hall with his hands behind his back, waiting even more anxiously.

At this moment, hurried footsteps came from outside the store, and an eunuch rushed in, panicking: "Officials, the guard Gao came back, but he was seriously injured, and he said he brought back important information."

Li Yu asked, "What information?"

"I don't know."

"Bring people in." Li Yu looked suspicious, but when he heard that guard Gao was injured, he felt a bad feeling in his heart.

The head of the guard was named Gundam. He was in a mess and bloodstained at the moment. He was supported by the guards outside the hall. After entering, he knelt down and said, "Reporting to the officials, something happened to our edict team, and we were ambushed on the way back. Su Chen and he... Assassinated by a group of black-clothed men, the low-ranking people swore to resist, but they are outnumbered, so Mr. Su's whereabouts are unknown, and his life and death are unknown!"

"What? Someone in black attacked you?"

Li Yu was a little unbelievable. On the way from Runzhou to Jinling, he almost entered the scope of Jiangning Mansion, and there were people in black attacking him?

The guard said: "It's a group of men in black, well prepared, attacking the cavalry, killing anyone they see, breaking out from the humble position, bringing the news back to the palace, and asking the officials to make a decision."

"It's unreasonable! Come on, inform the Jiangning government office, Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice, and Jinwuwei to investigate them all. Within three days, you must find Su Chen. If you want to see someone alive, if you die... die, they will all be dismissed." Check it out!"

Li Yu was completely angry. Su Chen wanted to come to the palace to treat the prince and empress, which indirectly related to the empress dowager's body, and they were all his closest relatives.At this time, Su Chen was ambushed and intercepted, which was simply a kind of provocation and murder against the royal family.

Several decrees from the palace were sent out overnight. The officials of Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, the commander of the Jinwu Guard Hall, and the Jiangning government office in the capital were all alarmed, and they all took action in the middle of the night.

.........

"Something happened to Su Chen, life and death are uncertain?"

After Peng Zeliang heard the news, he was terrified, dressed in a hurry, and rushed to the scene of the incident overnight to investigate with the police officers from the government office.

"Father, where are you going? Who did you say had an accident?" A young girl's voice came from the attic of the other courtyard.

Peng Zeliang replied: "No one, you can sleep peacefully."

Peng Qingqing made a few vertical leaps, jumped down from the pavilion, passed through the Moon Gate, and rushed over, staring at his father, frowned and said: "I heard Su Chen's name, what happened to him, is there any danger?"

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Peng Zeliang sighed: "The news just came from the palace that Su Chen was sent to the capital by imperial decree to treat the prince and queen, but who would have known that at dusk, at Jinghong Ridge, fifty miles northeast of Jinling, The mountain forest was ambushed and was assassinated by a group of men in black with unknown origins, and his whereabouts are unknown, and he does not know whether he is alive or dead."

"It's unreasonable!" When Peng Qingqing heard that something happened to Su Chen, she was worried and angry at the same time.

Peng Zeliang comforted his daughter and said: "Don't worry, Su Chenfu's fate is high, nothing will happen."

"Father, I'll go there with you." Peng Qingqing said firmly with a worried expression.

Peng Zeliang shook his head and said, "It's really inappropriate for you, a girl, to handle the case with us in the middle of the night!"

Peng Qingqing urgently said: "Father, what time is this? What's wrong? Su Chen is my fiancé, and he is in danger. It's only natural for my daughter to look for him as a fiancée! If he is a moment late, he will be in danger a moment more, Dad , let’s hurry up and take people on horseback.”

Seeing her so anxious, Peng Zeliang's eyes were almost red, and he sighed, knowing that he couldn't persuade her anymore.

At this time, Peng Qingqing was infatuated with Su Chen, and when she learned that he was in danger, she almost couldn't hold back her emotions.

"Oh, that's fine, let's rush over together, but outside, you must obey your father's command, and you are not allowed to act without authorization."

Peng Zeliang agreed and gave instructions.

Peng Qingqing nodded and said: "Understood, Dad, my daughter only wants to find Su Chen, and I don't care about other things."

Peng's father and son first rushed to the Jiangning government office, where they counted some headhunters, officials, catchers, clerks, bosses, etc., about dozens of people, because the government office did not have so many horses, so they took a few horse-drawn carriages , driving a car like this is at least faster and less strenuous than running by people.

Holding the sword in one hand and the rein in the other, Peng Qingqing galloped out, eager to save her husband, and took the lead.

"Su Chen, you must not have an accident. If you have an accident, who will I marry in the future... Bah, Su Chen, if you dare to have an accident, I will remarry!"

While riding the horse, Peng Qingqing was worried, her eyes were moist, and she prayed in her heart: Don't let anything happen to Su Chen!
