Chapter 3293: The Photos Were Enough to Take Nie Qixing’s Life

Editor: Atlas Studios

Quentin was the first to finish looking at the stack of photos. Then, he handed the photos to the others with a dark gaze. “Take a look.”

The photos were pa.s.sed over.

Everyone took a look before the photos were pa.s.sed to the green-robed old man at the end.

At first, Elder Xue did not know what kind of photos they were. It was only when the photos got to him that his expression darkened.

Quentin clasped his hands in front of him, and his wide red robes hung down. Sitting there, he gave off an extremely oppressive feeling. He stared at Elder Xue with a deep gaze. “Elder Xue, you are the most senior member. What do you see through these photos?”

Elder Xue suddenly raised his head and met his gaze. After a long while, he asked, “What are you trying to say?”

Quentin smiled casually. “You should know what I want to say.”

Elder Xue frowned and looked at him without saying anything.

“Since these photos have been sent to the Privy Council, it’s possible that they will be circulated. You’re an old member of the Privy Council, so you should understand that this is no longer a small matter of morals… Once it spreads, not only Nie Qixing’s but the reclusive families’ reputation will also be damaged.”

“It hasn’t been concluded yet…”

Elder Xue pursed his lips and did not let go.

However, so many people were looking at him. Their eyes were filled with disapproval. Even he had to consider their opinions.

In the end, the green-robed old man relented.

“Let’s ask the Empress first.”

He hoped that the Empress could give him a reasonable explanation for these photos.

Otherwise, they were enough to take Nie Qixing’s life!

After a night of high fever, Nie Qixing slowly woke up in the morning. He was still weak and could not even get out of bed.

Although Nie Qingru visited him last night, she only stayed in the ward for less than 10 minutes and asked the attending doctor about his health.

Then, she left with her men.

Shadow received a call from the hospital in the morning and rushed over to see him.

Nie Qixing had just woken up less than two hours ago and was being examined by a doctor.

After Shadow came in, he did not make a loud sound. He quietly stood in the corner, waiting for the doctors and nurses to finish their examination before he walked over and looked at the sickly pale person lying on the bed.

“Young Master Qi, why are you doing this? Actually, as long as you listen to me and hand that woman over to the Empress, and the Empress gives the Privy Council an explanation, this matter will be over.”

Nie Qixing called out weakly, “Uncle Ning.”

Shadow could not bear to see him like this. He sighed and did not talk about this anymore. Instead, he told him, “Rest a.s.sured and recuperate.”

“My sister…” Nie Qixing tried to sit up.

Shadow pressed him back down and covered him with the blanket again. He said quickly and steadily, “The Empress has found a subst.i.tute to give the Privy Council an explanation and appease them.”

Nie Qixing was stunned. “She’s not angry with me?”

Angry?

Shadow looked at him with a complicated expression, not knowing how to answer.

This time, instead of saying that she was angry, it would be more accurate to say that she was disappointed.

Even he did not understand it.

There were only them in the ward. Shadow looked at his face and asked bluntly, “Young Master Qi, can you tell me why you protected that woman? You…”

He was about to ask if he liked her, but when the words reached his mouth, he felt it was inappropriate.
