In this way, their voice in the Privy Council was actually weakened a lot.
This time, Old Xue was also extremely dissatisfied with them. If the Queen did something that would disappoint those old guys in the Privy Council at this critical juncture.
The Privy Council still doesn't know how to deal with the Queen.
"I know everything you can think of, but I won't abandon Xicheng." Nie Qingru's eyes darkened and he said no more: "Do as I say!"
Shadow bowed his head heavily: "Yes."
Nie Qingru watched his back as he left again, and this time she tried to take a deep breath so that she would not lose control of her emotions.
She turned around rationally and went upstairs to contact the people who were going to pick them up first.
Nie Qingru thought very clearly.
On the one hand, she wanted to put pressure on Jing City and try her best to get the help of people in Jing City that Qiao Nian cared about to hold the madman back, and then let others rush to the previously located sea area as soon as possible to rescue people.
Nie Qingru didn't know what Qiao Nian was trying to do. The uncertainty of losing control of the situation made her take every step up the stairs with great difficulty...
But she knew that no matter how heavy her heart was, she couldn't fall down.
She could never accept that Xicheng had an accident in the high seas, and died at the hands of the Ji family!
**
At this time, dark clouds covered the high seas and drizzle fell.
People are in a bad mood under the drizzle.
The busy crew members on the deck were still complaining about the rain and continued to worry about whether there would be a thunderstorm in the evening.
They didn't know they had become the center of the storm.
The two forces are about to clash fiercely in this sea area with them as the center!
After leaving the deck, Zhai Xicheng did not return to his room, but smoked in the narrow corridor of the cabin. His hair hanging down from his brow was wet with raindrops and stuck to his face. His pale skin was very fragile, and his eyes were sick and evil hidden under his hair.
He was biting the cigarette between his thin lips but didn't smoke it. He just held it between his lips and leaned against the narrow edge of the aisle, looking like he was about to jump into the sea.
Such a strange person, with a strange temperament... makes people who were originally interested in his appearance dare not approach him.
He leaned there nonchalantly, and heard a crew member coming out of the narrow aisle of the cab below and cursing in a low voice: "Damn, today is so unlucky! It's raining and thunderstorming, but the ship's signal is out of order. I don't know when the signal will be restored. Otherwise, it would be a disaster if we lose the navigation route again in this kind of weather!"
The young man in the black hoodie raised his eyes slightly when he heard this, pinched the cigarette between his lips with two fingers, looked at the person who came out and whispered: "When did you lose the signal?"
The crew member who came out didn't expect that there were still people smoking outside in this kind of weather. Seeing him asking himself, he didn't hide it: "It's been an hour or two."
The crew member came over and asked him for a cigarette.
Zhai Xicheng took out one and handed it to him out of courtesy.
The crew member lit up a cigarette in the freezing weather, puffing out white smoke, and then he tilted his head and said with a relieved expression: "I'm telling you, don't tell anyone else. The captain didn't let us tell anyone, for fear of causing panic among the other passengers."
"We are in international waters. This is how it is in this area. There are minor glitches from time to time. It's usually not a big problem. This time it's just a signal disconnection. It may be restored in a while."
The crew member sighed: "I just complained a few words because I felt it was unlucky to encounter a signal failure in such horrible weather. Brothers, don't take it to heart and don't be afraid..."
As he spoke, he patted the young man's shoulder to comfort him, not noticing the slightly changed expression on his face.
