Fake daughters are wealthy

Although the driver was very surprised.

But as Nie Qingru's right-hand man, Yingying speaks with great weight.

The driver only thought about it for a moment, then said to the two respectfully: "Okay, I'm not far away. The Queen and Lord Shadow can call me at any time."

Shadow watched the driver go away, walked to a distance where it was impossible to hear the corner of the wall, and then turned back to look at his master who had followed him for decades.

The muscles on both sides of his cheeks trembled violently, and he felt suspicious for the first time.

He hasn't had time to speak yet.

Nie Qingru was the first to break the silence: "Hey, you are so courageous now that you don't even pay attention to me."

Shadow's back turned cold, and he immediately knelt down in front of her on one knee: "The empress forgives the sin. This subordinate is just in a hurry, and did not disobey your intention."

"Let's talk." Nie Qingru didn't bother with him, sat in the car, but didn't close the door, looked at him sharply: "What do you want to tell me?"

The shadow suddenly raised his head and touched her cold eyes. For some reason, those words were entangled in his heart again, and he couldn't open his mouth.

Nie Qingru waited for a few seconds, but before he could speak, the sneer on his face disappeared: "My patience is limited. If you don't tell me, let the driver come back."

Veins protruded from Shadow's forehead, he clenched his hands and loosened them, then clenched them again, and finally mustered up the courage to look into her eyes: "Empress, have you made a decision?"

Nie Qingru's originally calm expression was completely cold, and he looked at him with killing intent: "What am I going to do, it's your turn to ask?"

"But Young Master Qi is the person you watched and grew up with, like a son, who you poured your heart and soul into. Are you really willing to sacrifice him?" Shadow asked very excitedly.

He is not a fool.

Having been by Nie Qingru's side for decades, he knows his master's every word and deed very well.

If in the ward just now, the empress gave Qi Shao a hard lesson, there is still room for change in this matter, at least the empress is still willing to protect Qi Shao.

But the Queen's gentle attitude in the ward just now was unreasonable, she even patted Qi Shao's shoulder lightly before she left...

Perhaps in Qi Shao's view, this is the expression of intimacy.

But Shadow is very clear about how Ji Qing died in the first place.

Before Ji Qing's death, the Queen also had the same attitude.

Changed from the usual strictness, she was gentle like an ordinary mother.

but……

"Empress, I know that Young Master Qi has caused you a lot of trouble this time, but if you insist on saving Young Master Qi's life, the Privy Council may not dare to..." Shadow spoke quickly and urgently, with a fine layer of pimples secreting from the tip of his nose. Sweat, I don't know whether it is anxiety or fear.

Yet he wasn't done yet.

Nie Qingru interrupted him: "Enough!"

Shadow raised his head and looked at her blankly: "Are you really planning to..."

Nie Qingru looked at him sharply: "You know better than anyone how much I have sacrificed and compromised to get to where I am today."

Shadow lowered his head and said feebly, "I know. But..."

But that was Young Master Qi!

It was the child he watched growing up.

He couldn't bear it.

"I know what you want to say, but I can't ruin my whole life's hard work for him!" Nie Qingru closed her eyes heavily, and a fishy sweet smell rose from her chest.

She was no better off than Shadow.

But right now, this is the only way she has left.

"I raised him from a young age, gave him the best education, and hired him the best teacher. I didn't even push him to the bright side for the first 30 years so that he could have a quiet environment, and secretly cleared the past for him. Obstacles in the way..."
