The beautiful smile of Noah disappeared as his face darkened somewhat, and a suffocating tension spread in the place. However, Queen Lo Sian didn't pay attention to it and said, "I'm confident that the first and third won't do anything like this; after all, I raised them."
"You can think anything, but you can't say anything," noah replied coldly.
The Queen felt immense pressure but still said, "Think about it, my prince. It's not reasonable for the princesses to do such a thing."
Emma interjected with a cold tone, "Is it reasonable for the prince's wife to do something like this, Your Majesty?"
Noah spoke with mockery in his voice, looking at the King and Queen, "What about going and revealing who's inside? Isn't that better than making baseless assumptions?"
The Queen hesitated; a sense of danger rang in her heart, but she quickly turned when she heard a beautiful voice calmly ask, "What's happening?"
"Why is everyone gathered here?" Noah's handsome face lit up when he heard the familiar voice of his wife, and he thought to himself, "She missed the fun."
He turned around, but his mood quickly changed after seeing her condition. It was clear that she was worse off than before, with pale skin and occasional coughing, still needing someone to support her movement.
All the attendees turned when they heard the voice, and the expressions of King Ming and Queen Lo Sian turned dark and ugly.
What they were met with was the sight of Sophia, supported by Shin Yanshiao.
Noah approached Sophia and was by her side in less than a second, pulling her into his arms, looking at the audience triumphantly and provocatively. "What were you saying, Your Majesty? I didn't hear you clearly earlier."
Sophia innocently asked, "What happened?" But inwardly, she thought with sarcasm, "I arrived at the perfect time; I'll make this wretch realize the consequences of messing with me and tarnishing my name."
She advanced, reaching the door of the room with Noah's assistance, and witnessed that famous scene that appeared in most dramas and novels. "This is truly not a pleasant sight to behold."
She said lightly, "Oh, so that's what happened."
"But why didn't you tell me why you were talking about me a few seconds ago?" Noah replied with a smile, "Don't worry; they're impulsive and lack the logic to think rationally."
"It seems like you're right that they should enter and see for themselves," she added. "You should consult a doctor about this matter. If you're slow to think, I fear the Eastern Kingdom will be overrun by rats."
She wasn't joking, as the story went. After Noah died, the Eastern Kingdom found itself surrounded from all sides, leading to a civil war that turned the kingdom into ashes. Unfortunately, no one took her advice seriously.
The Queen exploded in anger. She wasn't so foolish as to think, "Sophia and Shin Yanshiao are here on the outside, so who's on the inside..." She couldn't imagine the rest and thought to herself, "No one should know, maybe my little one is inside."
She tried to force a beautiful smile on her face, despite her anger making her expressions comical. She said, "I apologize for subjecting you to such a scene and embarrassment, Your Majesty, and I hope you can forget what happened today."
There was hesitation among the crowd at her request, but after a few seconds, Shin Yanshiao objected, "No, we must know who's on the inside. Anyone who did this has dared to tarnish the reputation of the royal family and the Shin family name."
Inside, Shin Yanshiao mocked the Queen, thinking, 'She considers herself the mother of the nation and is willing to throw someone of her bloodline into the abyss. What a hypocrite! It's clear she's the one who planned all of this with Shin Yu and definitely came up with the idea, leading everyone here and shouting my name without evidence."
Emma spoke, "Yes, I agree with the Third Princess."
Sophia supported the matter, saying, "I also agree with the beautiful ladies here."
The queen shouted in Sophia's face and said, "You dare not do this! Or you will go to..."
Before she could finish her sentence, she felt tremendous pressure and a deadly aura bearing down on her. She fell to the ground in fear, hearing Noah's voice inquiring with pressure, "Go to where?"
Sophia smiled; it was a wonderful feeling to see the Queen sitting on the ground scolding, not to mention the angry expression on the King's face. After that, she felt a nudge from Noah, "Hide your smile."
She quickly concealed her smile behind her wide sleeves, feeling like she was watching one of those late-night shows.
She said, "Since no one is objecting, I will remove the paper and find out who's inside."
Sophia took only a few steps to stand in front of the paper screen, which she pushed aside with one swift motion. However, suddenly, her vision turned black, and she heard Noah's voice in her mind, "Don't look. The sight is not that good l." He then pulled her back, allowing the audience to see inside.
The attendees had expected the person inside to be the First Princess, but they hadn't anticipated her being in such a state.
Shin Yu's skin was red and covered in bruises, which were nothing compared to the marks of beatings with sticks and whips. Transparent fluids covered the leather chair from top to bottom.
And let's not forget the most important detail: everyone now knew that Shin Yu was no longer an innocent virgin. They didn't care if she was a victim or not; what was gone was gone, and it certainly wouldn't come back. The Queen's scream was sharp.
"Shin Yu!!!!!"
"Who did this to you? Who dared?" The Queen exclaimed, her voice filled with anger.
Shin Yu woke up; she wasn't asleep, just tired from orgasms. She opened her eyes, began to scream and cry, unable to say anything.
The Queen immediately rushed to Shin Yanshiao and slapped her in front of everyone, saying, "It's you! You are the reason my daughter is in this state."
" I'm not the one who did this to her," Shin Yanshiao replied.
"No, it's you. You should have been there!!" Shin Yanshiao argued. "Why should I be there instead of Shin Yu?"
"Is this your doing? Did you want to frame me?" After saying this, Yanshiao kneeled before the King, crying, "Oh, royal father, please bring me justice. Today, the Empress tried to frame me and her daughter, and when their plan failed, they blamed me."
"Father, am I wrong? If not the warning from Princess Sophia, I would definitely be in Shin Yu's place," Shin Yanshiao pleaded.
King Ming couldn't find words to respond to the scandal unfolding before him. If he could, he would have ordered the execution of everyone in a fit of anger, but unfortunately, he couldn't do that. So he said, "Let all officials return to their homes, and I hope you can forget what happened today..."
Sophia took on the role of the audience; this was the first time she had witnessed such a historical drama live. While King Ming was speaking, Queen Lo Sian screamed in madness and rushed towards Sophia, shouting, "It's you! You're the reason Shin Yu ended up like this. I won't rest until I kill you!" A yellow aura then surrounded her.
Sophia immediately cursed upon seeing this. The Queen was also a cultivator and had practiced martial arts in her youth . Sophia knew she wouldn't be able to withstand a single blow from her.
Involuntarily, Sophia clung to Noah's waist and hugged him, closing her eyes. She felt fear when thinking about what would happen if her body received a blow like that. However, a second, two seconds, three seconds passed, and nothing happened, so she opened her eyes and looked around, finding herself looking down at everyone, which made her even more afraid. Until Noah whispered in her ear, "Don't be afraid; you're one of my people, and I won't let anyone touch a single hair on you."
Sophia felt comforted upon hearing that. She then realized that she and Noah were sitting on the edge of the courtyard wall, looking down at everyone. In more precise terms, Noah was sitting on the wall while Sophia sat in his embrace, held tightly as he wrapped his arms around her. Sophia felt embarrassed by this; she had never touched a man's hand in her life, let alone been embraced by someone. As a result, her face turned as red as a tomato from the embarrassment, so she immediately hid it in Noah's chest. She couldn't find any other place to hide her face.
Noah smiled, thinking, 'So, you can feel embarrassed by me.' However, his smile quickly disappeared as he looked at everyone coldly.
"No one touches my people, and if they do, they should know the result won't be pleasant."
The best evidence of Noah's warning was Queen Lo Sian, who lost consciousness after receiving an blow from him, and blood flowed from her seven orifices.
