When Nie Qingru thought of that defiant face and the pair of eyes that were exactly the same as that man's, she felt so disgusted that she didn't even want to look at him.
But now he still has to bow to Qiao Nian.
Nie Qingru clenched her fingers and did not move for a long time.
Shadow's eyes were slightly red, and his emotions fluctuated greatly: "Queen, you have watched Master Qi grow up since he was a child, and you have trained him as your successor. He is your brother and half your son. Even if Master Qi did something wrong, you can teach him a lesson, beat him, whatever you want... But if you don't save him this time, he... will have no way out!"
Nie Qingru closed her eyes and said, "Give me my phone."
"You mean..." Shadow was overjoyed. He didn't dare to delay and quickly found the phone on the coffee table and handed it over: "Queen."
Nie Qingru took the phone, his lips tautly drawn into a straight line, and finally found the number he had contacted two days ago, and after a long hesitation, he called.
She was thinking about what to say to make Qiao Nian relax...
However, before she could figure out what to say.
A mechanical female voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is unavailable."
No number available
Nie Qingru's first reaction was surprise, but then she realized that she was being framed.
Her face quickly darkened, her eyes were fierce, she stood up suddenly and threw her phone to the ground: "She wants to piss me off to death!"
For someone like her, let alone a Master Cheng, even if the person who died was a member of the Nie family, it might not cause the slightest ripple in her heart.
Not to mention that Master Cheng is not dead yet.
She just couldn't understand why Qiao Nian had to ask Nie Qixing to pay for Master Cheng's life.
"One is an insignificant outsider, and the other is her blood relative. She is really cruel enough to not be satisfied until she piss me off to death."
Even though Nie Qingru was so angry that her fingertips were trembling, she had no other choice since Qiao Nian had dragged her into darkness...
Just at this moment, the cell phone she threw on the ground vibrated.
Shadow picked up the phone and handed it to her.
Nie Qingru originally thought it was Qiao Nian's call, and she was a little nervous, but when she saw the number on it, her heart dropped rapidly. But she still had to answer it.
"There is only one day left of the three days the Privy Council promised. Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible."
The person on the other end seemed to know what she was thinking.
Before she spoke, he reminded her: "The Privy Council has questioned your decisions in recent times, and some people have begun to propose abolishing the Queen System."
"If you can't uphold the reputation of the hidden family, then the Queen's existence will be meaningless."
The Queen is a symbol of the hidden family.
But if she were involved in such a scandal, then there would be no meaning for Empress Nie Qingru to exist.
The Privy Council cannot override the Queen.
However, it is possible that if the Privy Council votes collectively to abolish the Queen system!
Nie Qingru understood what the other party meant.
The other party was telling her clearly that she could only choose one between her and Nie Qixing, and she had to make the choice as soon as possible and would not let her delay any longer.
But that was her younger brother whom she had raised for thirty years.
My younger brother.
Nie Qingru's throat rolled, as if she was back to decades ago when she had no say in the matter and was being led by the nose.
"I see."
**
The next day.
Nie Qingru went to the hospital where Nie Qixing was.
She didn't go in the previous few times.
This time he walked into the ward.
For three whole days, no one came to see Nie Qixing in his ward except the doctors and nurses.
