"Queen..."
Shadow lowered his head in shame.
Nie Qingru didn't want to argue with him, so she raised her hand and made a downward gesture.
The driver quickly understood what she meant, and walked towards the alley where the shadow came from, with one foot deep and one foot shallow. The bulge on his waist was obviously due to the gun he was carrying.
Shadow watched him pass by him, then suddenly raised his head, his eyes red, and begged the woman in the car: "Queen, please let Master Qi go!"
Nie Qingru was unmoved, as if Nie Qixing could no longer stir up the slightest ripple in her heart: "I have discussed this issue with you a long time ago. It's not that I won't let him go, but there is no point for him to continue living. A lifelong cripple can't possibly inherit my throne!"
"Even if I keep him, he will become a burden to me in the future."
"I can't have a weak spot like him around me, otherwise... you should know better than me how fatal a weak spot is to me."
Yingzi certainly understood how much hardship she had gone through to get her current position, and how difficult it was...and how many people outside were eyeing her and wanting to pull her down.
But…
That’s Master Qi!
Isn't the Queen sad at all
Nie Qingru glanced at him, as if she could see what he was thinking, and said calmly: "If I had been stuck in these feelings, I wouldn't have come this far today."
"Queen..." Shadow wanted to beg her again.
Nie Qingru interrupted him mercilessly, "He could have easily 'left' without knowing anything, but you insisted on doing unnecessary things behind my back. Now he has to endure another pain because of your soft-heartedness!"
Shadow's face turned pale and his lips trembled. He lowered his head, not knowing what expression to use to face the person in front of him. After a long time, he finally managed to say, "When did the Queen start to doubt me?"
A trace of pity flashed across Nie Qingru's eyes, and she said indifferently: "You have been with me for decades, and I have never doubted you."
"Then why are you here?" Shadow asked the question that he wanted to ask most in his heart.
Nie Qingru showed a sneer, looking down on others with contempt; "I doubt stupid feelings!"
She had never suspected that Shadow would betray her.
But she also knew that even the most powerful people could be swayed by emotions and behave irrationally.
From the beginning, Yingzi had been trying to beg her to let Nie Qixing go, but in the end he acted very calmly and accepted her way of creating an "accident".
From that moment on she was alert.
It turned out that she was not wrong.
As expected, Shadow had done something behind her back to replace one thing with another.
"If it were in the past, I would have condoned your actions. But you forgot that we have used this trick once before. This time, the Archbishop will definitely check it carefully..."
Nie Qingru seemed to be talking about someone else: "I can't break my promise to the Privy Council again."
She couldn't let those old guys in the Privy Council catch her again, so Nie Qixing had to die this time!
Shadow opened his mouth slightly and looked at her, but couldn't utter a word for a long time.
At this time.
The driver brought by Nie Qingru walked out of the alley slowly.
Shadow's eyelids twitched when he saw the bright red stain on his hands. Then he heard the other party respectfully say to Nie Qingru in the car, "Queen, it has been handled."
Nie Qingru then closed her eyes, a moment of fatigue and compassion showing on her face, and told the driver: "Call Mr. Xue and ask them to come over."
