The dock manager was sweating all over, but he still didn't dare to be the first to speak out. He stuttered, "Queen, I, I don't have the authority to do this. If you insist on doing this, you have to discuss it with the elders of the Privy Council. I dare not launch the missile without a warrant..."
What he meant was that he didn't dare to move.
Nie Qingru was not so angry and powerless at that time, but a moment of murderous intent almost made her vent her anger on the fat man in front of her.
The man was smart enough to sense the hostility surrounding her. He winked at his men and the skinny dock worker quietly slipped away.
Nie Qingru's chest was heaving and she tried hard to calm herself, but as soon as she saw the figure on the deck getting farther and farther away from the corner of her eye, she thought of the things that Qiao Nian had taken away.
She just couldn't calm down.
"You're afraid of the consequences, aren't you?"
"The Queen."
Nie Qingru's eyes looked calm, but underneath were turbulent waves. She stood proudly at the dock and said coldly, "I will take on this responsibility, no matter what the cost. I want you to bring that ferry down immediately!"
She must not leave any trouble behind, and she must kill that little evildoer tonight.
No one can stop her!
The dock manager was shocked by her resolute tone, and for a moment he didn't know what to do... There was no room for him to refuse.
Is he really going to blow down Mr. Cage's ferry
Fortunately, at this moment, Yingzi suddenly received a call. Seeing the caller ID, he first walked aside to answer the call, then his expression changed. He hurried to Nie Qingru and handed the phone to her: "Empress, this is a call from the Privy Council. It's Mr. Xue."
Nie Qingru's eyelids twitched, and she glanced coldly at the dock manager, as if she guessed what the people from the Privy Council wanted to do by calling her at this time.
She didn't reach out. "No. Tell them I'll be back after I finish dealing with the port."
Shadow did not take back the phone, but insisted: "Mr. Xue wants you to answer the phone!"
Nie Qingru looked at him scrutinizingly.
Shadow gritted his teeth and did not retreat, still respectfully handing her the phone.
Nie Qingru's eyes dimmed slightly. She understood that Yingzi would not insist on this for no reason. It must be that the people in the Privy Council said something, and Yingzi thought she had to listen.
She slowly reached out her hand and put the phone to her ear. The calm voice of Elder Xue came from the other end. There was no warning or excitement, but a very calm narration: "Dear Queen, we have blocked the airport and port as you requested. If you stop here, we will still be your loyal subjects. If you insist on disregarding the interests of the entire family and using missiles to bomb the ferry of Cage in Continent F, we will initiate impeachment proceedings against you at the same time. By then, you will no longer be the Queen of the Hidden World Family..."
The Privy Council exists to constrain the Queen's power, and their biggest trump card is the impeachment procedure.
Generally speaking, the Privy Council has no right to initiate impeachment proceedings, and even other families in the Hermit Family will not agree with the Privy Council impeaching the Queen without reason.
But if Nie Qingru blew off that ferry tonight, the Privy Council would tell her clearly how much she would pay!
"The Hidden World Family believes in you, and you should set an example. We don't care how many reasons you have for stopping the ship, but if you sacrifice the interests of everyone to achieve your own goals, the Hidden World Family will no longer need you."
