498. Leave Coruscant

If Count Dooku reported to him yesterday that Trade Federation's Newt Gunray asked Padmé-Amidala to sign When the agreement was signed, Palpatine just laughed it off, but now Palpatine really wants to kill Padmé into pieces!

Better add Newt Gunray!

One of these two guys is stupid and the other is bad. The stupid one did not consider the political impact of assassinating Padmé-Amidala at this time. As expected, the bad one took advantage of this to make a big fuss, causing "Military Creation Act", which had everything ready but only the east wind, to suffer another setback.

However, in order to maintain his image as a guardian of peace, Palpatine cannot forcefully pass the bill.

Of course, it is obviously impossible to kill Newt Gunray, so we still have to start with Padmé-... Palpatine starts to figure out how to deal with Padmé. Killing her is obviously not possible. This will make "Military Creation Act" aborted again, or...

Send her away?

After Padmé's speech, the parliament once again entered into heated discussions. At this time, Sheev-Palpatine smiled and said to Padmé, "I have postponed the voting for "Military Creation Act" before. During this period, there may be lawless people around. I think you should go back to Naboo to avoid the limelight."

"This is my battlefield, and I will not leave! I will fight for peace here to the end!" Padmé-Amidala is extremely determined.

Seeing her determined expression, Palpatine sighed secretly, and the anger in his heart increased a bit.

Jedi Order, as promised before, sent Obi-Wan-Kenobi and Anakin-Skywalker to protect Padmé-Senator Amidala.

At the same time, Zam-Wesell hired by the bounty Hunter Jango-Fett also started taking action. She controlled a drone to quietly break open the window of the Padmé mansion at night and sent two Poison Bug in.

Under the protection of Obi-Wan-Kenobi and Anakin-Skywalker, there is no doubt that this assassination failed. The master and the apprentice were chasing her all the way, and were about to catch Zam-Wesell, but she had already been silenced by Jango-Fett who knew that something was wrong.

Being assassinated twice in a day made Jedi Order feel very shameless, even though they had basically lost all face in the past ten years.

Master Windu also began to worry that such endless assassinations would one day succeed. After all, you can only be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against a thief for a thousand days. He tried to persuade Padmé-Amidala to return to Naboo, but Padmé's attitude was as firm as ever - he would not leave, absolutely not, even if he killed him.

Padmé's heart is the same as that of Ming Jing. She knows that now is a good time to pursue the victory and she must not give up halfway and return to Naboo.

But this time, Palpatine has already seized the opportunity.

Jedi Order asked Obi-Wan master and apprentice to split into two groups. Obi-Wan-Kenobi went to trace the assassination and find out the mastermind behind it, while Anakin-Skywalker continued to protect Padmé.

At the same time, Master Windu asked Anakin to seek help from Speaker Palpatine and asked Palpatine to convince Padmé.

Palpatine was ecstatic about this. He also wanted to drive away Padmé but had no excuse. Now Jedi Order came over just as he was dozing off and met the pillow. Jedi Order wants to find him to persuade Padmé to leave Coruscant, but little does he know that he is still waiting for Jedi Order to help him persuade Padmé!

He had a long talk with Anakin-Skywalker who came to negotiate, and once again affirmed Skywalker's talent and ability, and repeatedly hinted to Anakin that he had surpassed Obi-Wan.

Anakin-Skywalker was originally not very popular with Jedi Order. He was already 10 years old when he joined Jedi Order. He was too old and had rich emotions in his heart. Moreover, Force talent was too amazing, so the methods adopted by Master Windu and Master Yoda were more of suppression.

They hope that through this method, Anakin can face up to his talents, control his emotions, and not become arrogant because of his strength.

In fact, although they dislike Anakin, Master Windu and Master Yoda still do their best for Anakin. As Anakin's talent gradually shows, they also begin to believe that Anakin-Skywalker is the Chosen One. As a result, they were more cautious in training Anakin. Many times they were even unwilling to send him on missions that were too dangerous, fearing that Anakin would have negative emotions during the mission.

But Jedi Order was treading on thin ice, but he didn't expect Chancellor Palpatine to come over and poach like crazy. Jedi Order educates Anakin that he is no different from other people and needs to maintain a humble heart. But Chancellor Palpatine often takes the opportunity of teaching to tell Anakin that your talent is stronger than anyone else, and one day Master Yoda will be stepped on by you.

Jedi Order taught Anakin that you should act cautiously, but Palpatine told Anakin that with your power, you can completely control it if you are more aggressive, and you can complete the task better.

Jedi Order did not allow Anakin to participate in missions that were too dangerous. Even in the previous border exploration plan, after discovering that Jolus Serbaos was unreliable, Anakin and Obi-Wan were called back in advance. But Palpatine told Anakin that Jedi Order doesn't let you perform tasks because they look down on you and because they are afraid that your talent exceeds theirs.

The saying "loyal advice may offend the ears" has been true from ancient times to the present.

Palpatine always speaks according to Anakin's meaning, which of course sounds much better. His unknowing poaching behavior made Jedi Order's education of Anakin-Skywalker in vain, and planted a seed in the immature hearts of Anakin-Skywalker.

After being praised a lot by Palpatine, Anakin-Skywalker went to find Padmé-Amidala with satisfaction.

At the same time, Chancellor Palpatine also directly issued an administrative order to Padmé-Amidala, ordering her to leave Coruscant and return to Naboo, and then come back when the voting for "Military Creation Act" officially begins.

In the administrative order, Palpatine also specifically mentioned that it was Jedi Order's intention to ask Padmé to leave Coruscant. He was just following the trend.

Jedi Order hoped that Palpatine would persuade Padmé to leave, but Palpatine issued an administrative order in the name of Jedi Order to force Padmé to leave.

So it was Jedi Order who took the blame again.

Padmé-Amidala had absolutely no choice this time. She found Senator's Aide plus plus binks, and told him to stick to his political stance and not let others take advantage of him. She would wait until she returned to Coruscant.

Jar Jar Binks has matured a lot, and he agreed wholeheartedly, patting his chest and saying that there would be no problem.

But what Padmé-Amidala didn't expect was that a few months later, the problem still came from Jar Jar Binks.

At this moment, Padmé-Amidala, together with Anakin-Skywalker, quietly boarded the passenger spaceship and prepared to leave as war refugees.

On the spaceship, Padmé, who was doing needlework in the ordinary cabin, suddenly heard a voice calling her, "Padmé, why are you here?"
