“Does our Privy Council still have to be controlled by others?” An old man with a hooked nose pounded on the conference table.

The old man called Old Xue looked at him calmly. “Decades ago, the Privy Council was led by the nose by him. This is a fact that no one can change.” Hooked Nose pounded the table angrily, but he could not refute it.

Old Xue swept his gaze across everyone. Then, he straightened the documents and said lightly, “Since someone from the direct line of descent of the Ji family wants to participate in the recruitment, we will have to reject the one from the Empress sooner or later.”

Hooked Nose frowned and looked at him fiercely. “That’s the Empress! Who’s going to tell her? You?”

Old Xue’s expression remained indifferent. “I’ll tell her.”

Hooked Nose was stuck, and he felt stifled again. He could not squeeze out a word for a long time. Suddenly, he laughed in anger. “Alright, you’re amazing.

Go on then.”

Old Xue tidied up his things and put them into a document bag. Then, he handed it to his assistant behind him, stood up, and looked at everyone. “It’s impossible for two newcomers to enter the Privy Council in a year. This is our tradition. Until now, there has never been a saying that two newcomers have entered at once.

“If you don’t want to talk about it, I’ll talk to the Empress.

“Unless she has a way to abolish the previous rule, the Ji family’s direct line of descent has absolute participation rights!

“No one in the Privy Council can change this.”

Half an hour later.

Country M.

Shadow received a call from the Privy Council.

After communicating with the person on the other end with a serious expression, he said respectfully, “l will convey your intentions to the

Empress.”

The person on the other end spoke politely.

After hanging up, Shadow hurried to the master bedroom and knocked on the door. “Can I come in?”

“Come in.” The Empress’ dull voice came from inside.

Shadow lowered his head before entering. Then, he walked to the curtain and said in a low voice, “Old Xue from the Privy Council called and said that Ji

Lingfeng personally called him. Someone from the direct line of descent of the

Ji family wants to participate in this recruitment.” The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0v3l--B1n.

“Oh?” The empress’s voice behind the curtain was long and sinister. “What does he mean?”

Shadow kept his head lowered. “Elder Xue is the leader of the conservatives in the Privy Council. He means to follow the Privy Council’s rules.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a vase brushed past his cheek and crashed on the wall behind him, shattering into pieces.

Bam!

There was a loud bang.

Shadow immediately knelt on one knee with his head lowered.

The Empress quickly restrained her temper, but her tone was filled with anger. “Hmph. Rules? What rules? Does he not know why there were these rules back then? That person stepped on our heads and forcefully set these rules!

“That person is already dead, and he’s still talking about the rules left behind by that person. Damn it!” She was bitter and pained.

Shadow expressionlessly said in a low voice, “The conservatives in the Privy Council have always valued these things. Old Xue will not change his mind easily.”

“Of course, I know that he won’t change his mind.” The Empress said coldly, “Go and tell Ji Ziyin that Ji Lingfeng intends to let the direct line of descent participate in this recruitment. Her spot might be replaced by Qiao Nian. Let her think of a way herself.”

“Yes.

Shadow got up and went to do his work..
