Rescuing Ravel
"Ah?"
"Have you been fooled by that group of people to the point that you forgot that you are the Queen?" He Shaochen's voice deepened as he said: "Don't forget, you are the boss of this country, why should you listen to them?"
Qiao Qiao hesitated for a moment, "Those people are the upper echelons of J Country, their words carry a certain amount of weight. If I insist on doing things my own way, the influence won't be too good."
"What influence will there be if you don't listen to them?" He Shaochen retorted.
Qiao Qiao hesitated for a moment again.
She organized her words and said: "My national support rate will drop."
"If it drops, don't you know how to increase it? Are you stupid? "He Shaochen said unhappily.
"Do you think that increasing the national support rate is an easy thing to do? The people's hearts are the most difficult to predict, in order to win the hearts of the people, you have to do more than you can imagine! "Qiao Qiao retorted unhappily. He didn't know how hard it was to sit on the Queen's seat.
"Don't you still have me?"
He Shaochen's voice on the other end of the phone was very calm and even flat, but Qiao Qiao on the other end was stunned by his words.
"… Shaochen?"
"Don't you still have me? You just have to be at ease and do what you want to do, if you mess up, I, He Shaochen, will help you. If anyone doesn't listen to you, I will use the power of He Clan to make things difficult for them. If the citizens make things difficult for you, I will make sure that the entire J Country doesn't have a good year! "
He was simply arrogant to the extreme.
For some reason, when Qiao Qiao heard He Shaochen say that he wouldn't let the J Country have a good year, not only was she not angry, she even laughed out loud. She laughed twice and said: "Can you not be so arrogant, be careful that you don't get beaten up when you go out."
"I have lived for more than twenty years, and I have only been slapped three times by you, and even got punched by that Adam. In the end, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't even let Adam get close to me."
"En, I know you are the best, okay?" Qiao Qiao's face bloomed with a smile.
"En." He Shaochen gladly accepted Qiao Qiao's praise, he said: "I can't leave A Country, I won't come to J Country in the near future, as long as you need, He Clan's power in J Country can be used, understand?"
"You planted He Clan's people in J Country?"
"He Clan's people are in every country, what's there to be surprised about?" He Shaochen exuded a deep sense of disdain towards Qiao Qiao from the inside out.
Qiao Qiao: "… …"
"In short, no matter how big the matter is, I will take care of it, you just have to be bold and do it!"
"En, en, Shaochen, thank you."
Although He Shaochen's tone wasn't very good, Qiao Qiao's heart was still sweet, she softly thanked He Shaochen.
He Shaochen seemed to chuckle, he said: "Silly girl, don't ever say thank you to me."
Because everything he did for her, he did of his own free will.
He paused, then said: "Although I don't really support you pardoning Ravel, you have just taken over the position, you have to suppress those people and show them your power. If you give in from the start, those people will only bully you even more."
"En, I know what to do." Qiao Qiao subconsciously wanted to say thank you to He Shaochen, but then she remembered what He Shaochen said to her just now, so she held it back.
"Then I won't disturb you."
Qiao Qiao said: "Okay.
It should be late at night over there, you should rest early. "
After saying that, He Shaochen hung up the phone again. He turned his swivel chair and faced the table of He Conglomerate's senior board members, he returned to his cold CEO look and said: "Lingyu, let's move on to the next topic."
"Yes."
… …
Qiao Qiao called for an impromptu meeting regarding the issue of pardoning Ravel's death sentence.
Before the meeting began, everyone was still whispering, but the result this time was still not optimistic.
One of the councilors shook his head and sneered: "The Queen really has nothing to do. She wasted a lot of time on Ravel's matter. Why can't she learn her lesson?"
"Isn't that right? Sigh, in the end, she's just a dabbler. She still lacks the boldness of a queen. "
"As long as our tone is the same, even if it's the Queen's suggestion, we can still oppose it to the end."
"That's right, I really hope this girl won't be as quiet as before."
… …
The councilors were all talking at once, but Phillips had a bad feeling in his heart.
When Qiao Qiao entered, the noisy meeting room suddenly quieted down. Qiao Qiao took her seat and announced to everyone: "This time, I gathered everyone here to say only one thing."
Dozens of pairs of eyes stared straight at Qiao Qiao.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Qiao Qiao took a deep breath and said: "I've decided to use my immunity to pardon Ravel's death sentence and turn him into a commoner!"
Everyone was silent for a second.
Then, voices of objection rose one after another.
The situation was similar to the last time. Everyone was speaking one after another, leaving no room for Qiaoqiao to interrupt. They thought that it would be like the last time, where their queen would pass the entire meeting in silence. However, when the sound of a glass smashing to the ground rang out, everyone turned to look at the source of the sound.
A strange look flashed across Phillips's eyes, and he looked towards the source of the sound.
He saw Qiao Qiao casually retract her hand. She supported her chin with one hand and smiled at the people at the table: "Sorry, your voices are too loud. I can't hear anything I say, so I can only use other things to attract your attention."
Everyone: "…"
With a faint smile on Qiao Qiao's face, she said to everyone: "Is there anyone else who wants to say something?"
The members of the parliament winked at each other. One of them, who was not afraid of death, stood up and was about to object, but he was stunned by Qiao Qiao's fierce glare. His mind went blank, and he forgot what he wanted to say.
Qiao Qiao smiled kindly: "Mr. Ai 'er, is there anything else you want to say?"
Ai 'er: "…"
Being stared at by Qiao Qiao made his scalp tingle. He shook his head blankly and sat back in his seat: "No, no …"
"Since there's nothing else, I'll continue."
Qiaoqiao did not give other people the opportunity to raise their hands at all. She said bluntly, "I've made up my mind to pardon Ravel. Since I'm the queen, I should be able to make my own decision, right?"
"That's right … but …"
Someone wanted to object, but Qiao Qiao immediately interrupted that person: "That's right, then don't raise any more objections, okay?"
"…"
What on earth happened to this little girl in secret?
Why was it so different from the previous meeting?
Everyone could only pin their hopes on Phillips. As long as he said something, they would support him to the end.
But this time, Phillips's performance was beyond everyone's expectations.
With a faint smile on his face, he said to Qiao Qiao: "Since the Queen has decided, then we just have to listen to her orders."
Qiao Qiao looked at Phillips. Her expression did not change, but she was a little surprised. She thought that this person would continue to object to her.
What exactly was this man thinking?
Even Phillips was on Qiao Qiao's side, so the other members of parliament could not say anything.
This time, the proposal to pardon Ravel was approved.
After the meeting.
Qiao Qiao walked with Phillips again.
"I thought you would continue to object," Qiao Qiao said directly.
Phillips shrugged with a smile on his face. "Didn't I say it before? Everything I do is for your benefit. Although I don't agree with you pardoning Ravel, if you insist on doing so, I won't stop you. "
"Haha, thank you."
"You don't have to be so polite with me. You just need to know that I sincerely hope that you will become the Queen and lead our J Country to a more prosperous era." Phillips's gaze was sincere.
Queen?
It turned out that Phillips had high hopes for her...
But if he knew that she did not want to be the Queen, she wondered if he would still support her like before.
"Why are you in a daze?"
Phillips waved in front of Qiao Qiao's eyes.
Qiao Qiao came back to her senses, shook her head and smiled. "Nothing."
Adam had said before that she could not reveal that she did not want to be the Queen to outsiders. Even if Phillips was not her enemy at the moment, it was better not to spread the news.
Qiao Qiao had previously suspected Phillips, but from the moment he supported her in pardoning Ravel, she felt that she was wrong.
However, as long as Ravel was pardoned, Lacey would probably tell her the true identity of the underworld organization.
With this thought, the fog in her heart seemed to disperse a little and her mood became a little better.
At the Elders' Compound.
Phillips was reading the newspaper when his subordinate came over, puzzled. "Your Excellency, why do you support Lilith in pardoning Ravel? If Lilith finds out about the existence of our J Organisation through Ravel, she will definitely be wary of us. "
At least now was not the time to let Lilith know about the existence of their J Organisation.
He should wait until the time was right before making a move.
Phillips curled his lips and revealed a devilish smile. Coupled with his angelic face, there was an indescribable sense of incongruity.
"Through the mouth of Ravel?"
He sneered and his eyes were murderous. "Then let that man never open his mouth!"
The subordinate immediately understood what Phillips meant. His eyes lit up and he said, "Your Excellency is indeed wise."
"Don't flatter me. Do your job and stop Ravel before he meets Lilith!"
Phillips paused and said, "By the way, I think Lacey has lived for too long. She can disappear from this world."
The subordinate nodded. "Yes."
…
In the damp and musty prison, the smell of rust stimulated people's olfactory nerves.
The heavy iron door was opened.
The prison guard said coldly, "Ravel, come out with us."
"Oh? I remember it's not time for my execution yet, right? What's wrong? Lilith can't wait to kill me? "A deep voice came from the cell.
"Cut the crap. Come out when I tell you to!"
"Heh, a tiger will be bullied by a dog. I used to be so glorious, but now even a small prison guard can order me around. Sigh …"
As the voice got closer and closer, a slovenly man in a prisoner's uniform walked to the door of the cell. His shoulder-length blond hair covered most of his face, and he had green stubble stuck to his chin, making him look extremely sloppy. It was hard to imagine that this man was actually His Highness Ravel, who had once been a glorious figure.
"Come with us."
The prison guards took Ravel away one after another.
About half an hour later, a group of people came to this prison, which no one would come for ten days to half a month.
"Where's Ravel, number 39?" The bodyguard in black asked.
"Eh? Wasn't Ravel taken away? "
"Taken away?"
