Chapter 3315: Nie Qixing Is Completely Gone

Editor: Atlas Studios

“Your Majesty…”

Shadow lowered his head in shame.

Nie Qingru did not want to argue with him. She raised her hand and made a downward gesture.

The chauffeur understood what she meant and walked towards the alley where Shadow came from. It was obvious that he had brought something with him.

Shadow looked at him as he brushed past. He suddenly raised his head with red eyes and begged the woman in the car, “Empress, please let Young Master Qi go!”

Nie Qingru was unmoved. It was as if Nie Qixing could no longer stir up any ripples in her heart. “I’ve already discussed this with you. It’s not that I won’t let him off, but it’s meaningless for him to continue living. A cripple can’t inherit my position!

“Even if I protect him, he will just become a burden in the future.

“I can’t have a weak spot like him by my side. Otherwise… you should know better than me the consequences.”

Of course, Shadow understood how hard it was for her to attain her current position. So many people wanted to pull her down from her pedestal.

And yet…

That was Young Master Qi!

Was the Empress not sad at all?

Nie Qingru glanced at him as if she could read his mind and lightly said, “If I were stuck in these feelings, I wouldn’t have come this far.”

“Empress…” Shadow wanted to beg her again.

Nie Qingru cut him off mercilessly. “He could have easily ‘left’ without knowing anything, but you insisted on doing unnecessary things behind my back. Now that he’s suffering one more time, it’s also the result of your soft heart!”

Shadow’s face turned pale and his lips trembled. He lowered his head, not knowing how to face her. After a long time, he asked, “When did the Empress start to suspect me?”

A trace of pity flashed across Nie Qingru’s eyes, and she indifferently said, “You’ve been with me for decades, and I’ve never doubted you.”

“Then why are you here?” Shadow asked the question he wanted to ask the most.

Nie Qingru showed a scornful expression, condescending and contemptuous. “I suspect foolish feelings!”

She had never suspected that Shadow would betray her.

However, she also knew that no matter how capable a person was, they would still be influenced by their feelings and do irrational things.

From the beginning, Shadow had been thinking of ways to beg her to let Nie Qixing go, but at the last moment, he calmly accepted her idea of causing an ‘accident’.

From that moment on, she became alert.

Reality proved her right.

Shadow had indeed created a good show behind her back.

“If it was in the past, I would have tacitly approved of your actions. It’s just that you’ve forgotten that we’ve used this trick once before. This time, the archbishop will definitely check it carefully…”

Nie Qingru seemed to be talking about someone else. “I can’t break my promise to the Privy Council again.”

She couldn’t let those old fellows from the Privy Council have something on her, so Nie Qixing had to die this time!

Shadow opened his mouth and looked at her, but he couldn’t say anything in the end.

At this moment, the chauffeur slowly walked out of the alley.

Shadow’s eyelids twitched when he saw the bright red color on his hand. He heard the other party say respectfully to Nie Qingru, “Empress, it’s done.”

Only then did Nie Qingru close her eyes. An expression of exhaustion and pity flashed on her face before she instructed the chauffeur, “Call Elder Xue and ask them over.”
