Chapter 2808 - 2808: Under Such a Situation, He Still Had to Protect Qiao Nian in the Privy Council

Elder Xue quickly walked over and conveniently interrupted. "Your Majesty, when did you come to Continent M?"

He looked at Leonard as if blaming him. "Why didn't Elder Leo inform us?"

Leonard was in a fit of anger. His face tightened and he did not have the chance to speak.

Quentin also glanced at the girl, then said to the Empress and Shadow in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, let's go in first."

Nie Qingru continued to look at Qiao Nian with true killing intent.

Quentin sighed. Thinking of his son, he stepped forward and made an inviting gesture. "You have a n.o.ble status and there are too many people here. Let's talk inside?"

Nie Qingru finally retracted her gaze and gave him face.

She did not look at Qiao Nian again. As she brushed past her, she said softly, "You disappoint me more than I thought!"

With that, she strode into the Privy Council under the others' escort.

Shadow stopped beside Qiao Nian for a moment but did not say anything. Then, he quickly followed the Empress in.

"I'll go in first." Seeing that Nie Qingru was willing to take a step back, the archbishop heaved a sigh of relief and spoke to Elder Xue.

In his Chinese tunic, Elder Xue nodded slightly. "Thank you."

The archbishop did not seem to hear him and strode inside.

His men followed him in.

In the blink of an eye, only Leonard, Elder Xue, and the others were left outside.

Leonard looked at Luke, who had been beaten up until he was out of breath. His face was dark and heavy. "Qiao Nian, what exactly do you want?!"

Qiao Nian lowered her eyes and snorted. Suddenly thinking of something, she smiled mockingly. "I want one leg each from Luke and Ji Ziyin.

"Also, I want you to know what I'll do if you touch any of my elders and friends."

She turned her head slightly. "Because it's useless to tell you, I can only show you to help you understand, in case you ask me what I want to do next time"

"Haha." Leonard was so angry that he laughed. He looked her up and down. "You're indeed bold, but bold people often have short lives. I hope you won't regret your impulsive actions today!"

He finally looked in Ji Ziyin's direction.

Ji Ziyin had already fallen into a semi-conscious state from the pain. Her hair was already drenched in sweat and stuck to her face, making her look miserable.

Leonard frowned and retracted his gaze. He looked at Qiao Nian again with a sharp gaze. "No matter how bad Ji Ziyin is, she's still a member of the Privy Council. You violated the Privy Council's rules this time, and no one can protect you. You think you've avenged your aunt, but you're also going to lose your position at the Privy Council"

Elder Xue stopped him sternly. "Elder Leo!"

Leonard's expression did not look good. "Isn't it?"

Elder Xue rubbed his rapidly beating glabella and said in a deep voice, "You can't say anything arbitrarily before reaching a consensus with the rest."

What he meant was that he still wanted to protect Qiao Nian!

Leonard understood his meaning, and his expression became even more gloomy and ugly.

He did not try to be glib. He only snorted coldly and waved his hand. "No one can protect her this time. Let's wait and see."

He ordered his subordinates to put Luke and the others down from the pillar before sending them to the hospital.

As for Ji Ziyin
