Only Shadow, who had been standing nearby and observing, noticed Zhai Xicheng's little move. He pursed his lips, looked at the excited Nie Qingru, lowered his eyes and looked at his toes without saying a word.
Nie Qingru was in a very good mood: "They just left."
Zhai Xicheng found a place to sit down and looked over: "Oh? They don't want to take the order from Country C?"
"You know?" Nie Qingru asked casually, and then did not hide anything from him: "They used Feiteng as an excuse and did not want to take the order from Country C."
Zhai Xicheng raised his lips and smiled: "Then...what is the aunt going to do?"
Nie Qingru narrowed his eyes disdainfully, as if he was still thinking: "Let me think about it again."
The Reynard family is not active, so she needs to think of a win-win solution, and it would be best if she could convince the Reynard family to cooperate with her actively.
She was unwilling to give up the order from Country C. Only in this way could she deal a powerful blow to Jing City and Qiao Nian.
She invested a lot of money and energy and would never allow this plan to fail.
Zhai Xicheng seemed to have figured out what she was thinking: "Aunt, why don't you let me handle this? I might be able to find a solution."
"You?" Nie Qingru was silent for a moment, looked him up and down, and did not agree immediately.
She is an ambitious, capable, and ruthless woman.
So she doesn't trust others easily.
But the person in front of her had a pair of eyes that smiled as brightly as that man's and a clear enough voice, so she hesitated.
"What can you do?"
Zhai Xicheng knew that she would give him a chance: "I haven't made up my mind yet."
He called out again: "Aunt... don't you believe I can do it?" Nie Qingru could be cruel to anyone, but she would always be shaken when she met those eyes. After just a few seconds of staring at each other, she softened her heart: "Be careful. The Reynard family is not so active. Tell me before you do anything."
"Okay." Zhai Xicheng agreed quickly.
Nie Qingru frowned, looked at him again, and pursed her lips.
Zhai Xicheng came here just to take the right to deal with the matter of the Leonard family from her. Now that he has achieved his goal, he doesn't want to stay here any longer. After patiently exchanging a few words with Nie Qingru, he found an excuse that a doctor was coming to his house to examine him and left first.
Shadow sent him out and came back.
Nie Qingru has regained her usual unapproachable and noble appearance.
"Queen." Shadow walked over and called out, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
"Hmm?" The woman sitting on the chair carved from red nanmu still had a unique demeanor even though she was over forty years old. She looked majestic when she raised her eyelids slightly.
She was holding a document in her hand and reading it. Her eyes were like sharp knives, slashing at Shadow. "I know what you want to tell me. If you can see it, I can see it."
Shadow was speechless: "Then you..."
Nie Qingru looked tired: "He called me aunt."
Shadow was silent for a moment and thought of another person.
Master Qixing also used his bright eyes to hold his hand and often ask him why his 'godmother' hadn't come to see him yet, whether he had behaved poorly recently, etc.
However, what Master Qixing did not know until his death was that even though the Queen loved him to some extent, she had once thought of giving her throne to him.
But all this training and love means nothing to another person, if the empress was forced to choose between status and this Master Zhai.
Will the Queen sacrifice Master Zhai without hesitation
