Chapter 304 A Thoughtful Person
The invisible elf slowly calmed down. Its mind was racing.
"Yes, I must restrain myself and stay calm. I must not forget my duty and must protect my babies. I must not let anything happen to them again.
The master has space and is protected by the intelligent robot Xiaoqi.
She would never put herself in danger.
Since the owner chose to disappear and not show up, he must have his own reasons.
It is very likely that he took this opportunity to go to Jiangnan City."
The elf felt relieved when he thought that his master took the opportunity to escape.
So, the elf, no longer crazy, followed Nanny Jiang and the children back to the East Palace.
*
However, after arriving at Yi Qiu Courtyard in the Eastern Palace, Nanny Jiang locked herself in the room with red eyes and refused to come out.
Xiaodouzi, Haitang and the others were confused. When they saw the two little masters playing with the nurse, they walked over and asked in a puzzled manner,
"Little grandson, little princess, what happened to Madam Jiang?"
Little Pepper looked up and said quickly,
"Madame Jiang fell down and started crying."
"what?"
Everyone was suspicious.
My brother Xiao Bajiao said seriously,
"Madame Jiang said that she is old and her legs are not in good condition, so she may fall easily!"
"profound!"
Everyone was even more suspicious. They looked at each other, and then turned their heads to look at the room where Nanny Jiang lived.
*
"My little grandson, is it because Nanny Jiang fell that the Queen allowed you to come back?"
Xiaodouzi asked curiously.
"Yes! Little Princess, has Nanny Jiang suffered a great injustice? Otherwise, she wouldn't lose her composure like this."
The head maid Haitang said affirmatively. Mrs. Liu and the others nodded in agreement.
Suddenly, the door of the room opposite was pulled open and Nanny Jiang yelled.
"Why are you asking? Go get some work. I think you guys are too idle!"
A few curious people stuck out their tongues, then went back to work in dejected manner.
"Giggle cluck..."
Little Pepper looked at Little Bean getting humiliated and laughed happily.
But his brother Xiao Bajiao opened his big cute eyes and looked at the expression on Grandma Jiang's face without saying a word.

At this time, Kunning Palace
After watching the babies leave, Queen Qin asked Guard Liu,
"If you have anything else, tell me quickly."
"Yes, Queen. Please dismiss the attendants. The captain of the guards asked me to report alone."
Queen Qin's eyebrows twitched, and she said to the people in the inner hall,
"Madame Liu, please stay. You all should leave."
"Yes, Queen."
After sending everyone away, Nanny Liu helped Queen Qin sit back on the phoenix chair.
"Say it!"
"Here. Your Majesty, please have a look."
The guard then took out a small dart from his sleeve pocket and presented it with both hands.
"Please have a look, Your Majesty, this is a hidden weapon that the captain of the imperial guards and his subordinates found at the scene.
It hit the horse's leg, and it was this dart that caused the carriage to fall off the cliff. The chief guard ordered his subordinates to report back quickly and not to spread the news."
Queen Qin glanced at Nanny Liu, who quickly stepped forward, took the dart and presented it to the Queen.
*
Queen Qin looked up at the dart in Madam Liu's hand and asked,
"Captain of the Guard, do you have anything to say?"
"Please forgive me, Queen, for my disrespect. The captain of the guards analyzed that the person who shot the dart was a guard in the escort team.
What happened to Fang Liangdi this time was not an accident, but a premeditated murder.
The chief guard guessed that it was most likely related to several masters of the East Palace, especially the Crown Princess. "
"What? How dare you! How dare you criticize the Crown Princess!"
Aunt Liu couldn't believe it and shouted angrily.
In excitement, the dart in her hand fell to the ground with a "clang" and almost hit her instep.
"My subordinates dare not."
Guard Liu knelt on the ground with a firm expression.
Queen Qin didn't say a word from beginning to end.
After Matron Liu yelled angrily, she suddenly felt that she had overstepped the bounds and quickly pursed her lips.
A pair of somewhat cloudy eyes looked at Queen Qin nervously.
The room was eerily quiet for a moment.
*
Sudden ,
Madam Liu's mind raced as if she had realized something, and she panicked and reported to Queen Qin,
"Empress, hurry up and bring Eunuch Lu back! This matter must not be reported to the Emperor!"
Queen Qin had obviously thought of this as well, although the captain of the guards was not quite sure about his suspicions!
But whenever it came to Crown Princess Zhao Yaxue, her brainless niece, she would become flustered.
So, he shouted to the outside of the door,
"Quick, go and get that little Lu back for me."
Miaoyin, who was outside the door, heard the Queen Qin's broken voice and ordered,
"Yes, Queen."
She responded hurriedly and ran out.
Queen Qin waved her hand at Guard Liu and said,
"Keep it to yourself and get out of here!"
"Here, I obey."
Guard Liu stood up and bowed again before turning around and walking away. As if he knew there were still follow-up tasks to be done, Guard Liu did not leave the palace immediately.
*
Aunt Liu looked at his back as he walked out and complained,
"Empress, did Guard Liu and the captain of the guards do this on purpose? They didn't report such an important detail to us first, but only told us after they saw that we were confused."
Queen Qin rubbed her eyebrows and said nothing.
Madam Liu put her hands together and prayed to the sky,
"God bless me, please don't let the emperor know about this! Bodhisattva bless me, God bless me..."
Aunt Liu was mumbling for a long time.
Looking at the silent Queen Qin, she advised again,
"Empress, please don't be too anxious. The Emperor is so busy that he must not have time to summon Eunuch Lu at this hour!"
Hearing this, Queen Qin then spoke slowly,
"Oh! I wish! I should have thought of this a long time ago. But what I can't figure out is,
In this short night,
How did they arrange it so meticulously? So perfectly? This speed is so fast that I can't believe it! "
This swift and premeditated murder was incredible to the Empress Dowager, who had been in the harem for decades and had witnessed too many shady tactics.
Seeing Queen Qin's doubts, Nanny Liu said,
"Your Majesty, please don't blame me for being nosy. The Crown Princess is most likely involved in this matter.
However, the idea must have been proposed by Concubine Zhang. She looked harmless and peaceful, but I, the old servant, had already seen that this girl had evil intentions and was vicious!
Oh! If the carriage had not been salvaged, the secret of the dart would have remained a secret forever. Man proposes, God disposes! "
The two of them sighed again.
*
No matter how sincere the prayers in Kunning Palace were, no matter how fast the maids sent to chase Eunuch Lu were,
Unfortunately, it's still a step too late.
Things are just that inch.
When Eunuch Lu was running to report to the emperor, he happened to see Prince Liang Hengrui who was going back to the imperial study.
He saw at a glance that the hurried man in front of him was Eunuch Lu from Kunning Palace. It was very cold but his forehead was sweating, so he called him,
"Eunuch Lu, why are you in such a hurry? What happened?"
