Chapter 4022: Chapter 4022: I Didn’t Help Anyone

Quentin, unfazed, gathered the sleeves hanging at his sides and spoke indifferently, "I didn’t help her, but neither did I help the empress."

After he spoke, he smiled at the old man in the blue robe, "Oh, I misspoke. From today onward, I should call her Nie Qingru. The reclusive family no longer has an empress."

Old Xue clenched the hand at his side, forming a tight fist, and stared at Quentin with an unreasonable gaze, as if Quentin had done something wrong.

Quentin didn’t care how he was perceived and turned to ask the young man standing nearby, "Are you coming with me?"

Luke came to his senses, nodded, and calmly followed, saying, "I have something to consult with you about. Let’s go together."

He wanted to know why the archbishop was so sure that the empress would be successfully impeached. There must be secrets he was unaware of.

Quentin walked ahead.

Luke followed behind.

The two of them left one after the other, without giving the old man in the blue robe a second glance.

Many people remained in the tiered auditorium, some took out their phones to capture the moment, recording this historic scene.

Old Xue’s face was covered in a layer of desolate gray.

His subordinates observed his expression cautiously and whispered to him, "Old Xue, the empress and the archbishop have all left. Should we go?"

The old man in the blue robe took a deep breath, composed himself, and said, "Let’s go!"

Outside.

Nie Qingru hurried out.

Nie Tao caught up and called to her from behind, "Sister, Sister!"

Shadow turned to see him, and whispered to Nie Qingru beside him, "It’s Mr. Nie."

Nie Qingru slowed her pace, reluctantly stopping to wait for him, her face stern and eyes unfriendly as she looked over, "What do you want."

She didn’t want to be bothered by anyone now.

She just wanted to go back immediately, calm down, carefully arrange her thoughts to solve the messy situation, and see if there was any chance of turning things around.

Instead of being stopped at the Privy Council’s exit, subjected to the gazes from all directions, making her feel like a joke...

Nie Tao saw she was waiting for him, approached her, and scrutinized her, speaking more impatiently than she was, "What’s going on with you! Did someone tamper with the votes? How could you only get 36 votes?"

As Nie Qingru’s elder brother.

Nie Tao was used to a higher status, and like Nie Qingru, could not accept the fall from such a height, even more than Nie Qingru herself.

"Was it that... brat from your family?" He thought of Qiao Nian, speaking bluntly.

Previously, he was mindful of Nie Qingru’s status and spoke respectfully to her, but now his true nature was exposed.

"How can you not control even a junior? You’re her grandmother, if you just sweet-talk her, at that age she’s still under your influence. You’re always competing with her, and now look at this, you’ve lost the empress position over it."

Shadow furrowed his brows listening, wanting to speak for Nie Qingru, but held back due to Nie Tao’s status.

Nie Qingru looked at him impatiently, "You called me just for this?"

"Of course not."

Nie Tao lowered his voice, "The old master doesn’t know the voting results yet. If he finds out you’ve lost the empress title, he might be furious."

Hardly concealing her displeasure, Nie Qingru coldly stared at him, "I’m not a doctor, how is that my concern?"

She mercilessly reprimanded Nie Tao, "If it weren’t for your incompetence and misjudgment of the situation, making me believe you had genuinely secured a majority of family support, would I have made such a fool of myself in front of everyone today?"
