Mr. Xue frowned and paced back and forth: "We should call everyone to an internal meeting immediately and vote on it..."
"Do you want everyone to know that the queen of our hidden family has been kidnapped?" Quentin interrupted him immediately.
Mr. Xue's expression froze, and he looked at him with a pair of cloudy but shrewd eyes: "Then what do you want to do?"
Quentin did not hide his thoughts and said frankly: "Do as the person in the video asks, calm him down first."
"No!" Mr. Xue's response was useless.
Lei Kai also interjected: "I think what the archbishop said makes sense. We can't risk the safety of the queen. The best way is for us to do what the other party asks first, and then make plans after the queen is safe."
Seeing that the radical Lei family also agreed with the church's proposal, Elder Xue fell silent. After a while, he said in a hoarse voice: "If we do this, the plan we have set up in the illegal area for so long will be in vain."
"Compared to the Queen's safety, these are secondary." Quentin said easily.
Mr. Xue pulled the corner of his mouth with a forced smile, but he did not expose in person that those neutral families did not participate in the layout of the illegal area.
They didn't invest any financial, material or human resources, so it would be easy for them to say no.
But many of their conservative families are involved in this and have been planning for many years. Now they are going to destroy their hard work for the Queen.
Who wouldn’t feel sad
He knew exactly what Quentin was planning.
When the Queen returns from the illegal area, the Privy Council will initiate impeachment against her, and this impeachment requires the participation of all members of the hidden family.
At that time, families from the upper, middle and lower levels will all vote.
They, the conservatives, have been supporting the Queen's rule for many years, and there are many Queen fans among the radicals. The impeachment he proposed may not succeed.
But if... the illegal area's years of planning for the queen were destroyed in an instant, and the interests of these families were harmed, then it is hard to say whether they would still support the queen.
The Archbishop doesn't want to give the Queen a chance to turn things around when she returns!
“…Just make up your mind.” Although Elder Xue knew the other party’s plan, it was an open conspiracy and the empress was indeed in the hands of outsiders.
He knew the Archbishop's plan but had to endure it. Elder Xue said, "This matter involves Qiao Nian. I want to communicate with her first. If she can give in for the Queen, maybe things won't have to get to the point we're talking about."
"Hmm." The archbishop raised his eyes and gave him a look that said 'please come in', as if he was looking forward to a good show, and his whole body revealed an attitude of disapproval.
Mr. Xue's face darkened, he pursed his lips and walked aside to make a phone call... He knew what the other party was thinking, he just felt that Qiao Nian would not agree to compromise.
But he felt that the relationship between the Queen and Qiao Nian was already clear. As long as he communicated the Queen's current situation to Qiao Nian, they were relatives after all, and Qiao Nian might not just watch the Queen die.
Mr. Xue had already thought of a set of words in his mind in a short period of time, and was ready to talk to the girl properly as soon as the call was connected.
Until a mechanical voice came from his phone: "Sorry, the number you dialed is currently unavailable."
Mr. Xue frowned immediately, took out the phone and called again, then put the phone to his ear again.
This time he paid extra attention and found that there was no beep at the other end. Instead, there was a mechanical announcement: "Sorry, the number you dialed is currently unavailable."
