Nie Qingru stopped outside the ward and did not walk in.
Shadow stood behind her for a while. Seeing she did not move, he asked carefully, "Empress, aren't you going in?"
The only reply he got was a deathly silence.
Nie Qingru stood at the door. Through the glass, she saw a portion of the ward. Nie Qixing was lying quietly on the bed as if dead.
She stood at the door for a while.
Then, under Shadow's gaze, she turned around and walked out.
"Empress."
Shadow's heart beat faster and he called out to her.
Nie Qingru did not even turn around. Ignoring him, she said in a cold and solemn tone, "I don't believe that I can only be led by the nose by an Asian girl!"
She had to think of another way.

In the next two days, Qiao Nian did not get any more news related to Nie Qingru and the Privy Council.
