Quentin was the first to finish looking at the stack of about 12 or 13 photos. After he finished, he handed the photos to the others with a gloomy look in his eyes: "Take a look."
The photos were circulated in rotation.
After everyone has read it, it is passed to the old man in green at the end.
Mr. Xue didn't know what kind of photo this was at first. It was not until the photos were handed to him and he looked at them one by one that his face became increasingly gloomy.
Quentin clasped his hands in front of his chest, the sleeves of his wide red robe hanging down, and he felt extremely oppressed sitting there, staring at Elder Xue's face with a deep gaze: "Elder Xue, you are the oldest. What do you see from these photos?"
Mr. Xue suddenly raised his head and looked into his eyes. After a long while, he said, "What do you want to say?"
Quentin smiled nonchalantly: "I don't want to say anything, you should know what I want to say."
Old Xue frowned and looked at him without saying anything.
"Since these photos have been sent to the Privy Council, they may also be circulated. You are a senior member of the Privy Council and should understand that this is no longer a trivial matter of personal moral degradation... Once it spreads, not only Nie Qixing, but also the reputation of the Hidden World Family will be damaged."
"It's not decided yet..."
Mr. Xue still pursed his lips and did not let go.
But with so many pairs of eyes looking at him, all with expressions of disapproval, even he had to consider other people's opinions.
The old man in green finally gave in.
"Ask the Queen first."
I hope the Queen can give a reasonable explanation for these photos.
Otherwise, these photos would be enough to cost Nie Qixing his life!
**
After having a high fever all night yesterday, Nie Qixing slowly woke up in the morning. He was still very weak and couldn't even get out of bed.
Although Nie Qingru came to the hospital to visit him last night, he only stayed in the ward for less than ten minutes and asked the attending doctor about his physical condition.
Then he took the people away. Yingzi received a call from the hospital in the morning and rushed to see him.
When he was seen, Nie Qixing had just woken up for less than two hours and was being examined by a doctor.
Shadow didn't make any loud noise when he came in. He quietly went in and stood in the corner waiting for the doctors and nurses to finish the examination and leave. Then he walked to the bed and looked at the person lying on the bed with a sickly pale face.
"Master Qi, why are you doing this? In fact, if you just listen to me and hand that woman over to the Queen, and the Queen gives an explanation to the Privy Council, the matter will be over."
When Nie Qixing saw that it was him, he weakly called out, "Uncle Ning."
Shadow couldn't bear it, and sighed again, but he didn't say anything more. Instead, he said to him, "Don't worry about your injuries."
"My sister..." Nie Qixing forced himself to sit up.
Shadow pushed him back and covered him with the quilt again, saying quickly and steadily, "The Queen has found a replacement to give an explanation to the Privy Council and temporarily appease those people."
Nie Qixing was stunned: "She's not angry with me?"
angry
Shadow looked at him with a complicated expression, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
This time, the Queen was more disappointed than angry.
Even he didn't understand one thing.
There were only the two of them in the ward. Shadow looked at his face and asked bluntly: "Master Qi, can you tell me why you must protect that woman? You..."
He originally wanted to say, do you really like that woman
