"ah!"
At night, a shrill scream suddenly came from the queen's bedroom.
Nanny Chang, who had been guarding outside the door, immediately pushed it open and went in.
"My Lady, what's wrong with you? What happened?"
As Nanny Chang spoke, she trotted over to the Queen. From a distance, she saw the Queen sitting on the ground in a mess, backing away and muttering to herself.
"Who? Who did it?"
"My Lady, what's wrong?"
Nanny Chang was shocked by the Queen's reaction. When she looked in the direction of the Queen's finger, her face suddenly turned pale.
Isn't this Liushang?
How, how come you are here?
Nanny Chang was still in shock, but seeing that the queen in front of her had lost her mind with fear, she could only muster up her courage and walk forward tremblingly, suppressing the fear in her heart, to check on Liu Shang's condition.
Liu Shang was lying there covered in blood, motionless, with many wounds on his body. The pungent smell of blood made Nanny Chang almost vomit.
She took out a handkerchief and covered her mouth and nose, moving forward little by little, swallowing her saliva constantly, and looking back from time to time at the queen who was still terrified.
Finally, Nanny Chang walked to Liu Shang, tremblingly stretched out a finger and placed it under her nose, but after waiting for a long time, she did not feel any breath sprayed on her finger. Nanny Chang instantly realized something, she stepped back two steps, her footing was unstable, and she almost fell to the ground.
The Queen was already afraid, and when she saw Nanny Chang's actions, she felt even more panicked.
She pointed at Liushang with one hand and asked anxiously, "Madame Chang, how is she? Hmm?"
Nanny Chang's face was pale, almost bloodless. She turned her head stiffly to look at the queen, her whole body trembling.
She wanted to speak, but her teeth were chattering and she stumbled, unable to utter a complete sentence.
In the end, he even made a hoarse sound in his throat, and it was obvious that his throat was starting to spasm.
The queen was frightened by the appearance of Nanny Chang and became even more anxious. She even crawled over to Nanny Chang using her hands and feet without caring about her image. She came to Nanny Chang's side, held Nanny Chang's shoulders with both hands, and kept shaking her.
"What's wrong? Madam Chang, please say something."
Nanny Chang stared at the Queen for a long time, then she pointed at Liu Shang with a trembling hand and said, "She, she, she, she's dead."
It was not until she said the last two words that Nanny Chang felt the breath that had been stuck in her throat finally come out. She lay on the ground and took two deep breaths, completely ignoring what the Queen was thinking.
When the Queen suddenly heard the news of Liu Shang's death, her hands and feet went limp and she sat down on the ground, as if she couldn't believe what Nanny Chang said.
Or maybe, she had actually guessed it a long time ago, but just didn't dare to think about it.
Liu Shang was the person she sent out, but now his body has been sent back.
Does this mean that Jun Moyi already knows?
The Queen felt that this incident was more terrifying than Liushang's corpse.
Why did Jun Moyi know? How did Jun Moyi know? How did Liu Shang get exposed? And did she succeed in doing what she had told Liu Shang?
Countless questions kept eating away at the queen's mind. She felt her head was swelling so much that it was almost about to burst.
Nanny Chang soon noticed that something was wrong with the Queen.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? I'll go get the imperial physician right away."
Nanny Chang had just stood up and was about to go out when the Queen grabbed her hand.
"Empress?" Nanny Chang turned around in surprise, only to see the Queen shaking her head at her with a determined look on her face.
"No, this matter cannot be known to anyone, especially the Emperor."
Over the years, the relationship between the Queen and the Emperor has gradually become one of face-saving. It is already good enough that there is no conflict between the two. If at this time, the Emperor knew that she had attacked Jun Moyi behind his back, the Queen could not guarantee whether this matter would affect Jun Mochen.
She didn't dare to gamble.
Especially since Xia Qinglu entered the palace recently, the emperor was quite excited. She tried to persuade him several times but to no avail. The emperor was already slightly impatient with her as the queen.
At this time, she couldn't cause any more trouble.
So no matter what, no one could know that Liushang's body was in her bedroom.
The queen sat there and took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down.
She looked at Madam Chang and said, "Madam, go find a few of our people and secretly carry Liushang out of the palace. No one must see us, understand?"
Nanny Chang's eyes widened instantly, but her lips were tightly closed. She understood the interests involved and quickly nodded heavily.
"Yes, my lady, I will do it right away."
Nanny Chang left in a hurry.
But after Nanny Chang left, the Queen was the only one left in the huge palace.
There is also Liushang's body.
The queen was extremely frightened, but in a flash she thought, what could a dead man do to her?
Nanny Chang acted quickly. She asked someone to take Liu Shang away. Because she was worried, she followed the person herself.
The queen took one look at the phoenix couch where Liu Shang had slept, and felt extremely disgusted. So she summoned other palace maids and asked them to throw the phoenix couch away so that it would not get in her way.
Although the palace maids were puzzled by this, they were not stupid enough to ask their master the reason.
So, several people worked together to carry the phoenix couch out.
Afterwards, the queen ordered people to clean the bedroom inside and out. By the time everything was settled, it was already late at night.
Only then did the queen feel that the bloody smell seemed to have disappeared.
She lay down on the bed and forced herself to sleep.
But she slept very uneasily. In her dreams, Liushang's bloody face kept disturbing her.
In her ears, she could still hear the voice of Liu Shang crying and asking, "My Lady, why didn't you save me, why?"
The queen woke up from her sleep and could no longer sleep.
Nanny Chang led a few people all the way to the corner gate of the palace, and did not meet anyone along the way.
Occasionally, when they met patrolling guards, they would not ask any questions when they saw that they were from the Queen's palace.
This made Nanny Chang feel a little relieved.
However, when she was about to reach the corner gate, she actually saw Chen Yan's figure in the distance.
