As the rational party, Qiao Nian must first ensure the safety of the people who are easy to bring out, and then consider other things.
After Luo Fei hung up the phone, he watched the manor's every move more carefully, ready to contact Qiao Nian at any time...
**
Inside the manor.
Shadow walked through the long corridor and entered the living room, where he saw the servant making tea and kneeling in front of Nie Qingru to serve her black tea.
The lady sitting there has long been marked with traces of time, but what remains unchanged is her noble and outstanding temperament.
She took the exquisite teacup from the servant and caught a glimpse of someone coming in from outside.
"Is that car still parked on the side of the road?"
Shadow didn't dare to look anymore and lowered his head: "Yes, Queen."
Nie Qingru showed a hint of interest and took a sip of black tea. He said slowly, "Who do you think is outside?"
Shadow didn't dare to guess: "I am stupid."
"Tsk." Nie Qingru put the teacup back into the hands of the kneeling servant and raised his eyelids, his eyes full of sarcasm: "Except for that evil creature, who dares to approach here?"
Lu Zhi might dare.
But Lu Zhi wouldn't do that given his personality.
Thinking of this, she suppressed her floating emotions and looked over: "No news from West City yet?"
The shadow was silent.
"Hmph!" Nie Qingru's face suddenly turned cold, and she almost smashed the teacup held by the servant with her sleeves. She didn't care: "She also said that she didn't touch West City! Apart from her, who else has the ability to prevent me from finding any information at all!"
Shadow raised his head several times, hardened his head, and lowered his voice: "Empress, is it possible that Master Zhai himself does not want us to find...?"
He was halfway through his words when he was met with a pair of deathly gazes.
Shadow naturally closed his mouth under such a gaze.
Nie Qingru's face was extremely ugly: "Don't say such things again!"
Shadow was silent again. Nie Qingru took a deep breath and sighed, "You know I feel guilty about him. I understand what you said, but I just don't want to think about it. Do you understand what I mean?"
Shadow felt sorry for her.
Changing his previous attitude, he nodded solemnly: "I'm sorry, Queen, I won't say it again."
Nie Qingru's expression softened: "Yeah."
She thought of the car that had been parked outside her manor all night. A sharp light flashed in her eyes, and she ordered Shadow: "Go find a few people and bring that man back."
"The Queen?"
Nie Qingru had already become extremely impatient when he failed to find Zhai Xicheng's whereabouts: "Tsk. Don't they want to keep an eye on me? Come in and see more clearly!"
At this time, someone came in hurriedly to report the latest news from Continent M to Nie Qingru.
The Privy Council pressed her to go back quickly.
The person came in a hurry.
Shadow deduced from her hurried footsteps that the news from Continent M was probably not good news, and he didn't want to cause trouble for Nie Qingru any more.
So he bowed quickly and said, "Then I'll go out first."
"Go ahead."
Whatever he could think of, Nie Qingru also thought of.
Wait for the shadow to go out.
She immediately sat back on the sofa, with no extra expression on her noble face, and she didn't even glance at the visitor from the corner of her eyes: "Tell me, what does the Privy Council want to do again."
The man hunched over the entire time, not daring to look up, and stammered, "The archbishop wants you to call him back immediately. He wants to talk to you about the Beijing City."
Nie Qingru's eyes flickered, and a look of anger flashed across her face, but she quickly suppressed it and waved her hand to let someone go: "You go out first."
