Chapter 168
These were the words of Emily that the captain of the guard heard as he entered the hall with his sharp brows lowered to hand in the letter.
He walked as usual, but Shen Yinyin's pale and weak appearance last night inexplicably appeared in his mind.
He had heard about how she had retrieved the energy source from the Eighth Planet that was captured by the Zerg to save her brother, and he had also seen how she was willing to sacrifice her life to appease Duke Leibert and take him in as her husband in order to repay his kindness.
If she knew that her adopted brother and former master, whom she cared about, would become the male husband of other females...
The queen glanced at the tall and indifferent captain of the guard, who was wearing a neat uniform, and did not care that he had heard the conversation just now.
In her opinion, the other party was just a dog she raised to help her remove all obstacles. She didn't think he dared to say anything more.
Raising her hand to let the palace servant beside her take the letter, the Queen signaled the other party to leave and turned to Emily and said, "Since you already have a candidate, I will summon them to the palace to match you."
"Thank you, Queen!"
Before Emily lowered her head, she glanced at the captain of the guard who was passing by.
It has to be said that this captain of the guard, as the captain of the personal guard beside the female queen, not only has outstanding abilities and a dignified temperament, but even his resolute and cold face looks extremely aggressive.
If she could accept him, it would be a great help to her.
The captain of the guard, feeling Emily's sticky gaze, had a cold look in his eyes.
After leaving the hall, the captain of the guard, who was usually indifferent, paused as he passed the garden.
The blooming roses reminded him of the day when he caught her.
There was also a pink rose on her slender neck, which was more beautiful than any rose he had ever seen.
Touching the brow bone that had healed without any scars, the captain of the guard pursed his lips slightly, and finally felt compassion.
He turned on his light brain, and his slender knuckles moved.
He used his highest authority to forcefully connect to Shen Yinyin's optical brain and told her what had just happened...
Louis and Winter, who were urgently summoned to the palace, were kneeling, but their backs were straight and their brows were cold, like pine trees covered with snow.
Compared to Winter's indifference, Louis' eyes turned completely cold when he heard that his mother was going to match him with Emily.
He raised his head, his purple eyes were dead silent: "I have already said that I have someone in my heart, and I will not marry any other female."
"Do you think you have the right to say no?" The queen looked down at her son with a sarcastic tone.
"Louis, I am not discussing this with you, I am informing you! Do you still want to disobey my orders?!"
"Emily is a noble and a double S-rank female. She is more than a match for you and Colonel Winter. It's not your turn to find fault with her!"
Hearing this, Louis pulled out a difficult arc, and smiled sadly: "Really... If it was Asus, would you force him like this, mother?"
"That's enough! What qualifications do you have to mention him?!"
Hearing Louis suddenly mention Asius, the queen who had been dignified and arrogant just now instantly became furious.
She grabbed the cup on the table and smashed it hard on Louis' forehead.
boom!
The cups filled with boiling hot tea shattered into countless sharp pieces under the impact and splashed all over the hall.
Louis's golden hair, as bright as sunlight, was wet by the tea, and scarlet blood instantly gushed out from his smooth white forehead.
The warm blood slid across his delicate eyebrows and jaw, dripping silently.
The prince, who had always been dignified and handsome, now looked as miserable as a wounded beast abandoned by his relatives.
His dignity, his claws, his sharp fangs were all trapped in this huge palace.
There is no escape and no resistance.
"How can a loser like you be compared to him? If it weren't for you, he wouldn't have become like that!"
The queen with red eyes roared angrily, even though Louis was injured and bleeding, she seemed not to see it.
Even Emily, who was standing by, was frightened by the queen's sudden ferocious look.
Inside the hall, the queen's chest was heaving violently with anger.
She subconsciously looked at the portrait hanging on her left. In the portrait, Asus had short golden hair and a carefree and flamboyant smile.
The peaceful and beautiful past that she once thought of, in the face of this reality where everything has changed and under Asus' smile, inexplicably turned into a sharp mockery.
The queen clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms. She took a deep breath and spoke again in a fierce voice: "Emily, start matching!"
As Emily stood up, Winter, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up: "I'm sorry, I can't accept it."
Winter's words made the queen laugh out loud.
"I have never been soft-hearted even towards my own princes. How dare you, a mere colonel, disobey me?!"
"Okay, I'll give you two choices, either become Emily's husband, or... die!"
Louis had always known that his mother hated him, but until this moment, he had completely given up.
He who had always looked at his doted-on brother with envy, who had tried his best to do everything in the hope of getting a little love from his father, the emperor, and the queen mother, who had once been so eager to serve the empire and had high hopes for it...
He died after all.
The queen found that when Louis looked at her, all the light in his eyes was completely extinguished, as if he was looking at a stranger.
Her heart was trembling, and the indifference she had felt from Asus reappeared.
The queen, who lost her composure, cursed angrily, "Rebellious son! What's that look in your eyes? Isn't it for your own good that I asked you to marry Emily?"
"Someone, come here! Take them down and force them to match!"
"Wait a minute!"
As the guards took action, a soft and pleasant voice stopped the chaos in the hall -
Louis and Winter looked up and saw a girl at the entrance of the hall, walking towards them step by step against the light and shadow with a determined look.
She seemed to have come in a hurry, her long hair was untied, her face was unmade up, she was wearing a simple blue dress that was plain and elegant, her skin was snow-white, her lips were red, and her eyes were moving, which made Emily and the queen, who had exquisite makeup, look inferior.
Shen Yinyin?!
The Queen and Emily looked at the uninvited girl with livid faces.
Shen Yinyin protected Louis and Winter behind her, lifted her skirt, and saluted respectfully to the queen.
"Your humble servant pays respect to the queen."
The queen's eyes were cold and grim: "Shen Yinyin! What crime should you be punished for trespassing into the palace without my summons?!"
This was different from the first time he faced the queen, where he could only be humiliated and endure it.
Now Shen Yinyin, as a female with the highest status and mental strength in the empire, no longer needs to endure.
Shen Yinyin said calmly, "Queen, calm down. I was so reckless because I was just following the highest female law."
The Queen angrily shouted, "Ridiculous! There is no provision in the Female Act that allows you to trespass into the palace!"
"Someone! Drag this ignorant bitch away!"
Shen Yinyin's slender figure stood tall like a young bamboo, and she said slowly and calmly, "The Female Act does not say such a thing, but it does say that anyone who has had physical contact with a female is considered the female's husband."
"Today, I am only here to take my husband away."
Seeing Emily's look of doubt and uncertainty, Shen Yinyin continued: "Yes, Louis and I are already husband and wife."
Emily didn't care if it was true or not.
She only knew that she couldn't let Shen Yinyin snatch any male away from her again!
"Shen Yinyin, do you think I will believe you? It is a fact that you and Louis are not matched yet, but my match was given by the queen herself. What right do you have to compete with me?!"
Shen Yinyin looked at Emily, her beautiful face calm and indifferent: "Just because I am a double S-level female, I am qualified to compete with you!"
Emily's heart skipped a beat, and she stiffened her neck and said, "I'm also a double S-rank..."
"Your double S has been awakened twice, but mine is just the first time!"
Shen Yinyin's powerful words left Emily speechless.
After Shen Yinyin finished speaking, she looked up at the Queen, "The Queen is the one who advocates the Female Act the most, so I'm sure she won't violate the Act, right?"
The queen was so angry that she had a heart attack. She gritted her teeth and said, "But Louis is not a match for you yet! No matter how much you say, it's just..."
Shen Yinyin didn't wait for the queen to finish speaking, she stood up and walked in front of Louis.
She lowered her long eyelashes and gently held his face with her slender white fingertips.
When she saw the blood on the other's handsome face, her nose felt sore and her eyes turned slightly red.
"I'm sorry, I'm late..."
The moment the gentle words fell, her rosy and soft lips gently fell on Lewis’s cold thin lips.
At the same time, a matching pink light lit up on Shen Yinyin's wrist bone——
