Chapter 4021: Chapter 4021: Nie Qingru Falls from the Divine Altar

But the nightmare had just begun.

Soon, the numbers on the big screen were reversed, becoming 36:35.

It quickly changed to 40:35.

When the supporting votes broke the 50 mark.

Their side struggled to move one vote, barely turning it into 36 votes.

Nie Qingru seemed to be seized by fate, her throat making a choking sound, her face sullen, suddenly questioning Shadow: "Didn’t you say for sure we could secure 59 votes?!"

If they could secure 59 votes, the opponent could not exceed 49 votes.

However, now it was a slap in the face.

The opponent already had 50 votes.

Their so-called certainty of securing 59 votes had become a joke.

And if the current storyline continued to develop like this, Nie Qingru’s heart raced, almost leaping out of her throat, unable to imagine the scene of her defeat.

Earlier, the more certain they were of their victory, the more they hoped time would slow down so they could have a chance to reverse the adverse situation.

But time waits for no one.

Just as it didn’t wait for Luke before, now time won’t favor them either.

The big screen refreshed once again.

This time the supporting votes reached 55, while they were still at a pitiful 36 votes.

The outcome was already decided!

Nie Qingru’s palms were sweaty, unable to believe as she looked up at the projection screen, even more unwilling to believe that all her painstaking efforts over the years had been reverted back to square one!

Was she angry?

Of course, to the extreme.

But she was also very clear that anger was useless now, it would only make people laugh at her for nothing.

Nie Qingru even heard waves of discussions behind her when the supporting votes reached 55, all talking about her—

"Oh my, we are witnessing history, aren’t we? The empress was impeached."

"Before the votes came out, I also couldn’t believe the empress would really be impeached. I heard that before, the empress and the Nie family had sought assistance from many influential families, it doesn’t seem to have been effective."

"...And Old Xue’s efforts for The Conservatives were in vain, he begged many people to protect the empress, owing lots of favors. Now it’s a big loss!"

"The reclusive family is better off without the empress, I’ve long been weary of those from the Nie family acting domineeringly, relying on the so-called empress to bully men and oppress women. As a leader, the empress never managed her own family members, well... now it’s all over."

"The voting results are out."

The next few minutes were undoubtedly a disguised humiliation for Nie Qingru.

The supporting votes on the projection screen continued to rise rapidly after reaching 55 votes.

However, the opposing votes were completely stationary.

The final result was out.

votes in favor of impeaching the empress.

votes against.

The outcome, who won and who lost, was clear at a glance.

At the moment the result was announced, Nie Qingru angrily left the seat, walking out of the Privy Council under the scrutinizing and eager eyes of hundreds of people in the parliament hall.

Old Xue, as one of the three giants of the Privy Council, had no choice but to sit in his seat, listening to the announcement of the voting result, feeling as if there were needles poking under him, extremely uncomfortable.

At this moment, the archbishop stood up and walked to him, a polite smile on his mature and handsome face, saying to him: "Old Xue, you’ve lost."

The act was undoubtedly another public slap, Old Xue’s face changed with anger, he supported himself to stand up as well: "You shouldn’t stand on Jiang Yao’s side."

"No matter what, she is an outsider, and in the future, even if she values Beijing or the Ji Family of the Independent Continent, she wouldn’t help us, the reclusive family."

He thought the archbishop was too muddleheaded.

They shouldn’t help their biggest future rival.

Qiao Nian was very much like Ji Wusun of the past.

A genius emerging out of nowhere, unstoppable!

They should unite and extinguish this fire, not giving her the chance to spread the flames far and wide.
