Nie Qingru knew before she came that they were looking for her for this matter, so she was not panicked.
While the other person was talking, he lowered his head and took a sip of the coffee in his hand, then slowly put down the cup and said disdainfully: "Is the Privy Council free? They are so idle that they even have to take care of such trivial matters!"
She is extremely tough!
Under normal circumstances, given her status and her intention to protect Nie Qixing, others would not confront her and cause trouble.
But this time it’s different!
The man who spoke ignored her strong question and frowned, saying seriously, "You once said that you wanted him to be your successor."
"If he is just a member of the Nie family, our Privy Council will certainly not care about such matters. But if he wants to inherit your position in the future, then we will care."
Nie Qingru slammed the table hard, his face darkening: "How dare you!"
She looked around at everyone in the parliament hall, her eyes paused for a moment on the faces of the archbishop and others, and then fell on the face of the person who attacked her, sharp as a knife: "Don't forget. The royal power is above all power! Even the Privy Council has no right to question my decision!"
She took a breath, calmed down, and said indifferently: "Besides Qixing, who else is suitable to take my place?"
There was silence in the council hall.
at this time.
"Heh." Someone chuckled, quite casually.
Then Nie Qingru's pupils shrank into the shape of wheat spikes, and she saw the middle-aged man in a red robe stand up and face her leisurely.
"Queen, have you forgotten someone?"
Nie Qingru seemed to realize who he wanted to talk about.
His face immediately fell.
Quentin would not take her pressure as a threat. He smiled and said a name: "If I remember correctly, there is another granddaughter in the Ji family who is related to you by blood. Qiao Nian. She is also qualified to inherit your position."
There was an uproar in the audience.
"Qiao Nian is the Queen's granddaughter?"
"Yes, it was said before that she is a direct descendant of the Ji family... If she is a direct descendant, then she is the Queen's..."
Everyone knows that Nie Qingru has a weak spot that she cannot mention, and that is her past marriage to the Ji family of the Independent Continent when she was young.
All of this was brought up again, and those discussions were like steel knives stabbing into her heart, forcing her to face the past.
"enough."
She just stopped him.
The next second, an unexpected person stood up and spoke for her: "Archbishop, I'm afraid Qiao Nian is not suitable?"
When Mr. Xue suddenly stood up to help Nie Qingru, the discussions in the parliament hall gradually stopped and everyone looked at him in disbelief.
Even people in his own conservative faction looked at him strangely.
Everyone knows that Mr. Xue and the Queen don't get along.
However, in this matter, Elder Xue really stood on Nie Qingru's side: "Although she is qualified to inherit the position of the empress, she has been living away from home since she was a child, and has not been truly recognized by the Ji family, and has not been included in the family tree. In this case, she cannot be considered to have truly inherited the Ji family's bloodline, and is not the empress's granddaughter."
Although they were clearly related by blood, he easily erased this connection by not writing it in the family tree.
Nie Qingru's expression softened, and he also said, "She is not suitable to take over the hermit family."
Quentin didn't expect them to stand together. He sneered and didn't give Nie Qingru much face. He asked, "Then is Young Master Nie suitable?"
