Chapter 185: Mammy...I seem to still be wearing the dragon robe
"I'm fine! What are you going to do?"
Seeing that Aunt Qiu didn't say anything, Shen Jingli became even more anxious, "Aunt, hurry to Longxiao Palace to find Zheyu."
Nanny Qiu had no intention of leaving. She said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Songzhu and I have other things to deal with."
"Mammy, if you continue to stay in Qianlu Palace, you will definitely be in danger! You should go to Longxiao Palace."
Aunt Qiu comforted him, "Your Majesty, these traitors chose to send men in black to kill you at night, which means they don't want this to be known to everyone."
Nanny Qiu still doesn't know who sent the men in black tonight, but they did not choose to surround the Qianlu Palace, but instead let the men in black come and assassinate. This is enough to prove that they are also afraid of being criticized!
"Your Majesty, they will not kill any of the palace maids in Qianlu Palace. If too many people die, it will certainly arouse the suspicion of the ministers. I have a foolproof plan. Your Majesty, don't worry. You should leave the capital as soon as possible. You must not be caught by the people of Prince Lin or Prince Yun, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
Shen Jingli felt that what Nanny Qiu said made sense. If the traitors wanted to massacre the Qianlu Palace, they would not have secretly sent men in black to assassinate her. Wouldn't it be easier to directly lead people to surround the Qianlu Palace?
Then, Shen Jingli suddenly thought of something, and her voice trembled slightly: "Mammy,... I am still wearing the dragon robe, and... I seem to be penniless!!"
After she escaped, someone would definitely secretly arrest her. Now she was not only wearing a dragon robe, but also had no money. She couldn't easily show her face in public. Was she going to starve to death? !
Nanny Qiu frowned. She was indeed not thoughtful enough just now. She should have packed some clothes and money for Shen Jingli to take away.
"Your Majesty, please look carefully to see if you have any silver or money on you. You must not wear the dragon robe to show others. You are very smart, and I believe you will have a plan to deal with it!!"
Shen Jingli had a sad face: "Mammy... you really think too highly of me."
Aunt Qiu noticed some movement on the roof. She suddenly became alert and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, someone is coming. Please leave quickly."
Shen Jingli calmed down and ran forward.
……
Aunt Qiu didn't hear Shen Jingli's voice anymore. She stood up and walked slowly towards the door, laughing as she walked: "It's good to leave, it's good to leave..."
Your Majesty, your daughter is about to leave the capital. You named her Jingli in the hope that she would leave the capital one day.
If you knew about this in the afterlife, you would rest in peace.
……
"Boom."
The sound of kicking the door was heard, and a dozen men in black quickly surrounded Nanny Qiu. Shen Xuan, also dressed in black, walked slowly from behind.
Shen Xuan sent six men in black, but they failed to kill Shen Jingli, so he had to come in person.
"Old man, where is Shen Jingli?"
Nanny Qiu knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Highness, I don't know."
She clenched her fists. It turned out that someone from the Lin Wang Mansion was plotting to usurp the throne. Shen Xuan was so arrogant that he actually dared to bring people to Qianlu Palace in person.
Aunt Qiu's eyes were filled with resentment: "Your Highness, the Emperor just put a knife to my neck and threatened me to hand over the money I have. I also want to know where the Emperor is right now!"
"The Emperor...may have already left the palace."
Shen Xuan yelled at the man in black: "Chase him!"
"slow."
After Nanny Qiu finished speaking, the men in black paused and they all looked at Shen Xuan, waiting for orders.
Aunt Qiu raised her head and looked at Shen Xuan. She said seriously, "Actually... the emperor's departure from the palace is a good thing for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Shen Xuan sneered, "Oh, you old man, do you want to die? What on earth do you want to say?!"
Seeing Shen Xuan's impatient expression, Aunt Qiu lowered her head and said, "Your Highness, you came to Qianlu Palace at this time. Even if I am stupid, I can guess something."
Shen Xuan didn't say anything. He walked towards Nanny Qiu with a sword in his hand. This old man who didn't know how to live or die was really asking for death.
Aunt Qiu's fingertips were trembling slightly. She forced herself to calm down, otherwise she would be dead! !
"Your Highness, the Emperor is dead. Whether she is dead or alive, she died tonight."
"If Your Highness goes after the Emperor with great fanfare at this time, it will only lead to gossip regardless of whether you catch him or not."
Shen Xuan thought what Aunt Qiu said was interesting. He stood in front of Aunt Qiu and said condescendingly, "Then...what if he comes back alive someday?"
Aunt Qiu looked calm: "Then he must be a fake. The emperor had an old illness. She just had a heartache and unfortunately passed away."
Shen Xuan put away his sword. He asked with great interest, "Hahaha, you said Shen Jingli suddenly got sick from an old illness and died?"
Aunt Qiu answered fluently: "Yes, the emperor did die of illness. As the emperor's personal maid, no one knows the truth better than me!"
She said firmly, "The Emperor is dead! I have a way to make all the palace maids in Qianlu Palace have the same tongue."
"Madam, you are very understanding. However, you and Shen Jingli have a deep relationship as master and servant. Why would you help this prince?"
Nanny Qiu slowly said, "The Emperor has taken away all my savings, and she even wants to put me to death. Is this what the prince calls the deep love between master and servant? I am now penniless, and whether I can live or not is just a matter of words from your Highness."
"We slaves only know how to serve others. Now that our old master is dead, we naturally have to find another way out!"
Shen Xuan smiled with satisfaction. He drew out his sword and randomly stabbed a man in black. Blood splattered his sleeves. Shen Xuan frowned and threw the bloody sword on the ground.
"There are people from this prince in the Imperial Hospital. Madam, do you know what to do next?"
Aunt Qiu kowtowed again: "I will never let His Royal Highness down."
"Hahahaha." Shen Xuan didn't expect Nanny Qiu to be so understanding. He was in a good mood and left Qianlu Palace with satisfaction.
This old guy was right. If we sent people to pursue Shen Jingli in a high-profile manner on the night of his sudden death, we would definitely be criticized.
It would be safer to secretly send someone to arrest him in two days.
……
After Shen Xuan and his group left, the nanny went to the Imperial Hospital. Unexpectedly, she met the imperial physician arranged by Shen Xuan halfway. The two of them hurried to Qianlu Palace.
Aunt Qiu followed behind the imperial physician and sneered, "Is Shen Xuan so impatient?!"
He doesn't even do the whole thing, he's just too eager for quick success.
Qianlu Palace has not summoned the imperial physician tonight. Could it be that this imperial physician has the ability to predict the future? !
----
Qianlu Palace.
As soon as Doctor Chen entered the palace, he couldn't wait to ask Aunt Qiu: "Where is the emperor now?"
"The imperial physician will follow me."
Nanny Qiu led Doctor Chen into the bedroom. There was a burly man lying on the ground, his face covered with a white cloth. There was a red area on his chest, obviously injured by a sharp weapon.
