"Does our Privy Council still need to be controlled by others?" An old man with a hooked nose pounded the conference table hard and said angrily.
The old man called Mr. Xue looked at him calmly: "Several decades ago, the Privy Council was led by him. This is a fact that no one can change."
The hook-nosed man pounded the table angrily again, but he couldn't open his mouth and couldn't refute.
Elder Xue glanced at everyone in the conference room, sorted out the meeting materials in his hand, and said calmly: "Since someone from the direct lineage of the Ji family wants to participate in the recruitment of new members of the Privy Council, we will have to withdraw from the Queen's side sooner or later."
The hook-nosed man frowned and looked at him fiercely: "That's the Queen! Who will tell her? Are you going to tell her?"
Mr. Xue remained calm and said, "I'll go and talk to him."
The hooked nose was blocked, and he was suffocated again. He couldn't say anything for a long time, and laughed angrily: "Okay, you are good, go ahead and say it."
Mr. Xue put the things at hand into a file bag, then handed the file bag to the assistant behind him, stood up, pulled out a chair and looked at everyone.
"It is impossible for the Privy Council to have two new members in one year. This is tradition. So far, there has never been a case of two new members entering the Privy Council at once."
"If you don't want to tell her, I'll tell her."
"Unless she can find a way to abolish the rule she left behind, the direct lineage of the Ji family will have the absolute right to participate!"
"No one in the Privy Council can change that."

Country M.
Half an hour later.
Shadow gets a call from the Privy Council.
After communicating with the person on the other end with a serious expression, he said respectfully: "I will convey your message to the Queen."
The person on the other end spoke to him politely.
Shadow hung up the phone and hurried to the door of the master bedroom and knocked: "Can I come in?"
"Come in." The queen's dull voice came from inside. Shadow lowered his head before pushing the door open, looking straight at his toes, walked in front of the curtain and whispered, "Mr. Xue from the Privy Council called and said that Ji Lingfeng had communicated with him personally, and someone from the Ji family's direct lineage wants to participate in this recruitment."
"Oh?" The Queen's voice behind the curtain was long and sinister: "What does he mean?"
Shadow lowered his head: "Mr. Xue is the leader of the conservative faction of the Privy Council. He means to abide by the rules of the Privy Council."
Just as he finished speaking, a vase brushed past his cheek and fell onto the wall behind him, breaking into pieces.
"Snapped!"
There was a loud bang.
Shadow immediately knelt on one knee and buried his head in the ground.
The Queen quickly restrained her temper, but her tone was full of anger: "Humph. Rules? What rules? He doesn't know why there were these rules in the first place? Aren't these rules imposed by others on us?"
"That person is already dead, and now he is still using the rules that person left behind to make trouble. Damn it!" She said sarcastically and painfully.
Shadow said in a low voice with an expressionless face: "The conservatives in the Privy Council have always attached great importance to these things. Mr. Xue will not change his mind easily."
"Of course I know he won't change his mind." The Queen said coldly: "Go tell Ji Ziyin that Ji Lingfeng intends to let his direct lineage participate in this recruitment. Her place may be replaced by Qiao Nian. Let her figure it out first."
"yes."
Shadow stood up and turned around to go do his work.
…
It was already midnight when Ji Zinyin received the news.
