"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."
