Shadow couldn't help but slow down his pace, even his breathing slowed down.
"The Queen."
Nie Qingru didn't look back: "You're here."
Shadow stood in front of her cautiously, breathing lightly: "Are you in a bad mood?"
Nie Qingru glanced at him at this time, and curled her lips for a rare moment, as if she thought he had asked a stupid question: "Tomorrow is the day when that evildoer will be publicly executed. Xicheng's life or death is uncertain. Do you think I will be in a good mood?"
Shadow couldn't answer her question. He looked at her and said, "It's too dangerous for you to go over there..."
"I know." Nie Qingru remained unmoved, her expression firm: "All of you told me not to go, but how could I ignore him? Even if I knew that the evil creature had bad intentions, I would not abandon him."
"… "
Shadow didn't know what to say, so he just said nothing.
He stood quietly beside Nie Qingru, silently accompanying her to watch the sunset outside the window.
Outside the plane, the clouds rolled and stretched, and the rays of light inlaid on the edges of the clouds were stunning, like spilled paint.
They hadn't seen such a high view for a long time.
Nie Qingru didn't know what she was thinking of, and suddenly asked, "Has Mr. Xue gone?"
Shadow nodded: "He left half a day earlier than you, and should have arrived in Continent F by now."
"Yeah." Nie Qingru's tense face relaxed a little, at least not as serious as before, and a little more relaxed: "It's good that he goes over there."
Shadow understood what she wanted to say and echoed, "Don't worry, Queen. Elder Xue still respects you."
As for the rest of us…
Since Nie Qingru was impeached by the Privy Council and was no longer the queen of the hidden family, many people immediately took sides.
Keep a distance from them and don't want to get close to them.
Afraid of being implicated by them and offending Quentin.
During this time, Shadow has followed Nie Qingru and witnessed the fickleness of human nature, and has become more and more aware of the human instinct to seek good and avoid misfortune.
It was already very difficult for Mr. Xue to lend a helping hand to them at this time!
"Where's she?" Nie Qingru lowered her eyes again and asked, "Has she arrived yet?"
Shadow understood immediately and immediately put away the slight smile on his face. He kept a straight face and said, "According to our people's intelligence, Qiao Nian has arrived. The guy in the bunker... should be with her again."
"snort!"
Nie Qingru couldn't hide the sharpness in her eyes and mocked, "She keeps saying that she looked down on me for marrying someone I didn't like for the sake of power. What about her?"
"She has come to where she is today, just like me, relying on the man behind her. How noble is she?"
Seeing that she was getting emotional, Shadow walked over and gently patted her back to help her calm down.
While whispering, "She grew up in the countryside and has never seen the world. It's inevitable that she has learned the ways of the lower class. She is rude and doesn't know how to respect her elders. It's not surprising that she would do such a thing... Queen, you don't have to be angry about her. It's not worth it."
"Yeah. Who the hell is she?" Nie Qingru was just a little emotional, but she quickly suppressed it and told Shadow, "Are all the people on the island here?"
Shadow nodded slightly: "They are all here."
Nie Qingru relaxed her brows, gathered her shawl, and said condescendingly: "That's good."
Shadow saw her relax, but his face was full of melancholy: "Empress, we contacted the eldest branch without the knowledge of the Tenth Elder. Will we offend him afterwards?"
"I can't care less!"
