But the nightmare had just begun.
Soon the vote count on the big screen was reversed to 36:35.
Then it became 40:35.
When the number of votes in favor exceeds 50.
Their side struggled to move one vote, barely making it 36 votes.
Nie Qingru seemed to be strangled by fate, and his throat made a gurgling sound. His face was gloomy, and he suddenly asked Shadow: "Didn't you say that you are sure we can get 59 votes?!"
If they can get 59 votes, the other side will not be able to get more than 49 votes.
But now I'm slapped in the face.
The other party already has 50 votes.
Their so-called certainty of getting 59 votes has become a joke.
And if the plot continued to develop as it was, Nie Qingru's heartbeat would speed up and almost burst out of her throat. She couldn't imagine the scene of herself losing.
As certain as they were that they would win before, they now wished that time would slow down so that they could still have a chance to turn the unfavorable situation around.
But time waits for no one.
Just like time didn’t wait for Lei Kai before, time will not favor them now.
Refreshed again on the big screen.
This time the number of votes in favor reached 55, while they still only had a pitiful 36 votes.
The winner is decided!
Nie Qingru's palms were covered with sticky sweat. She looked at the projection screen in disbelief. She couldn't believe that after all the hard work she had put in for so many years, she was reduced to her original state in one day!
Is she angry
Of course I was extremely angry.
But she knew very well that being angry at this moment would be useless and would only make her a laughing stock.
Even when the number of votes in favor reached 55, Nie Qingru heard a flood of discussions behind her, saying that she—
"Oh my god, we are witnessing history, right? The Queen has been impeached." "Before the votes came out, I couldn't believe that the Queen would really be impeached. I heard that the Queen and the Nie family had contacted many families before, but it seems to be of little use."
"…And the conservative Mr. Xue's hard work has gone down the drain. He asked a lot of people for favors in order to save the queen, and he owed a lot of favors. This is a huge loss!"
"It's good that the hidden family doesn't have a queen. I've long been fed up with the Nie family's tyranny, relying on the so-called queen to bully men and women. As the queen is in power, she doesn't even take care of her family. Now... they're all gone."
"The voting results are in."
The next few minutes were undoubtedly a disguised humiliation of Nie Qingru.
The number of votes in favor on the projection screen continued to rise, and after 55 votes, it rose faster and faster.
However, the opposing votes remained completely unmoved.
The final result is out.
72 votes in favor of impeaching the Queen.
36 votes against.
It is clear who wins and who loses.
The moment the result came out, Nie Qingru left his seat in anger, stepping on the inquiring and watching eyes of hundreds of people in the parliament hall as he left the Privy Council.
As one of the three giants of the Privy Council, Mr. Xue had to sit in his seat and listen to the announcement of the voting results. He felt as if there were needles pricking his butt and was extremely uncomfortable.
But at this moment, the archbishop stood up and walked in front of him, with a polite smile on his mature and handsome face, and said to him: "Mr. Xue, thank you for letting me."
This behavior of the other party undoubtedly slapped him in public. Old Xue's face changed with humiliation, and he supported himself and stood up as well: "You shouldn't stand on Qiao Nian's side."
"No matter what, she is just an outsider. In the future, those who value Jing City and the Ji family of the Independent Continent will not help our hidden family."
He thought the archbishop was too confused.
No matter who they help, they should not help their future biggest rival.
Qiao Nian looks very much like Ji Wushun back then.
A genius emerges out of nowhere and is unstoppable!
They should work together to put out the fire and not give it a chance to spread across the whole prairie.
