"I always feel like there's something behind his words, like he knows something. That's why... Queen, do you think something has happened in Continent M?"
Seeing that the truth could no longer be concealed, Nie Qingru remained silent for a while and then admitted: "The Privy Council is going to initiate impeachment proceedings against me. Qiao Nian should have received the news."
"What!" Shadow reacted greatly. He immediately looked at her, frowned and raised his head: "Mr. Xue..."
Nie Qingru shook her head at him: "It's not him."
She looked uneasy: "It was the Archbishop who took the lead. The Reynard family rebelled and chose to stand on the Archbishop's side. The conservative faction alone is not enough to fight against them..."
Shadow's face became more and more ugly. He clenched his fists and tried his best to endure it.
Nie Qingru saw his reaction and softened her tone: "…So I have to go back immediately."
She sounded very optimistic.
In fact, the situation within the Privy Council was very unfavorable to her. After paying the price for her actions several times in a row, even many conservatives who seemed to be the only ones on her side were extremely dissatisfied with her.
However, out of consideration for Mr. Xue's face, he did not show his dissatisfaction.
It would be very disadvantageous to her if the Privy Council initiated impeachment proceedings.
"That Mr. Zhai..." Shadow didn't want to mention it. He knew that Nie Qingru cared about Zhai Xicheng's safety, otherwise he wouldn't have brought himself to this point.
Nie Qingru shook his head, his expression dejected, and sighed: "I can't take care of him for now, we can only wait until we get back."
Shadow secretly breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and said, "Master Zhai will be safe."
Nie Qingru didn't respond this time, and told him to arrange a flight back. When Yingzi left, she frowned as if she remembered something, exhaled again, calmed down, and went to pack her luggage.
…
Nie Qingru left in a hurry.
Qiao Nian released the person in the morning, and her private plane landed at the illegal parking lot at noon. No one except Qiao Nian was notified during the whole process.
At 12:30 p.m., Nie Qingru's car arrived at the airport on time, and the servant handed her luggage in the trunk to the crew.
Shadow walked around to the other side, opened the car door, and waited respectfully for the old woman in the car to get out.
Nie Qingru handed him a hand, held his hand and walked out of the car gracefully, stepped on the concrete road of the airport, looked at the blue sky and white clouds that formed a parallel line with the plane, squinted his eyes slightly, took off his sunglasses, and glanced at the shadow next to him.
"Qiao Nian hasn't come yet?"
Shadow carefully supported her and whispered, "Queen, she hasn't come yet."
Nie Qingru pursed her lips and her mood turned bad.
Shadow had been with her for more than ten years and was very good at figuring out her mind. He immediately lowered his voice and said, "The traffic was bad. Maybe she got stuck in traffic."
"Yeah." Nie Qingru's expression eased a little: "Wait a little longer."
"yes."
Shadow stared down at the tips of his shoes again, feeling anxious.
There was no traffic congestion in the illegal area today. The traffic jam was just an excuse he made for Qiao Nian not coming yet.
If Qiao Nian hadn't come, the Queen's face would have been trampled under the feet of these people again today.

Red Alliance Headquarters.
The person that Nie Qingru and Yingzi were obsessed with had just woken up. He put on a coat, got up to brush his teeth and wash his face. There was white foam at the corners of his lips, and his half-closed eyes were full of sleepiness, and he looked quite irritable.
Qiao Nian brushed his teeth, turned on the faucet, lowered his head and took some water to rinse his mouth.
She was too lazy to get a towel to wash her face, so she simply scooped water with her hands and splashed it on her face. The cold water on her face immediately refreshed her mind and made her much more awake.
