The person sitting beside him in the back seat was wearing a sunhat. The sunhatâs wide brim almost covered her face. Her eyes could not be seen, and only her chin was exposed.
Afraid, Leonard softly said, âSo, even if itâs just for show, we have to make Qiao
Nian stop. Itâs just that Iâm afraid that she wonât listen to me.â
Not only was the Empress wearing a wide sunhat, but her clothes also covered her almost completely, not revealing an inch of skin.
Wearing burgundy velvet gloves, she elegantly rolled down the window and indifferently said, âItâs your family who caused this trouble this time. What you mean is that you want me to resolve it for you.â
No one would think that she was as elegant and graceful as she looked at this moment.
Those who knew about her past would definitely not dare to be impudent in front of her.
After all, this woman was like a python entrenched in the Privy Council. She would ruthlessly get rid of anyone who made her unhappy!
She could sacrifice even her own daughter, what else could move her?
Leonardâs face immediately turned ashen, and he did not dare look at her anymore. âIâm sorry, Your Majesty. I didnât manage my family well.â
The Empressâs voice was only filled with coldness. âI will settle your problem for you, but not now. Letâs solve the thorny matter first.â
âYes.â
Leonard heaved a sigh of relief.
Before he could catch his breath, the Empress lightly added, âDonât even think about using me to solve your problem. Your familys glory still depends on your efforts.
Nervous, Leonard quickly dismissed the plan he had come up with and nodded. âYes, I will remember your teachings.â
The car quickly ran over the fallen leaves outside the intersection and slowly stopped outside the Privy Council.
MO Xi jogged to Ye Wangchuan and reported in a low voice, âLeonard is here.â
âI understand.â Ye Wangchuan straightened his back, walked towards the girl, and told her.
Qiao Nian showed no surprise. She only threw down the foxtail grass she had picked up and said, âLetâs go take a look.â
Leonardâs limousine was followed by two ordinary-looking black cars. Qiao Nian could tell at a glance there was something unusual about them.
In particular, the glass windows of one of the cars were made of special explosive-resistant glass. This was not something ordinary people could afford.
Of course, ordinary people did not need to use these.
Narrowing her eyes, she soon saw Leonard getting out of the car.
She noted he was not alone.
He said something to the person inside and then got out alone.
As they approached, eight people alighted from the two cars behind them. Qiao Nian was familiar with one of them.
He was all black.
It was the person she had fought with when she saved Lu Zhi in Country MI S public square. The people from the reclusive families seemed to call him Shadow.
Before Leonard closed the door, through the gap, Qiao Nian saw the person sitting inside.
She immediately lowered her cap to hide her bloodshot eyes.
âElder Leo is here.â
âWho came with him? Why do I feel that he looks familiar?â
Someone recognized him and gasped.. âHe canât be Lord Shadow, right?â
