The Empress Has Left

Everyone was stunned after they heard Nie Qixing's hoarse questioning.

"What does he mean? I think he means his being in a wheelchair has something to do with this person from the Beijing delegation?"

"Who is this person? Isn't Nie Qixing backed by the reclusive families?"

"She actually can make Nie Qixing end up like this? Is there a mistake?"

Some of the whispers reached Li Xin's ears, who was conflicted about how to apologize to Master Cheng. He turned his head and saw Nie Qixing fall back into the wheelchair in a sorry state. His heart tightened, and he no longer wanted to try to save face. He grabbed Master Cheng's hand and apologized solemnly.

…

On the other side.

Nie Qixing watched the girl walk away as he fell back into the wheelchair.
