Chapter 243
The queen's words caused a huge stir among the crowd.
Although everyone knows that Shen Yinyin has a close relationship with her brother, there is no blood relationship between them. Winter is just an orphan taken in by Shen Yinyin's parents.
But such an immoral thing is still too absurd after all.
For a moment, there were whispers of discussions all around.
Although some people think that this is nothing, after all, Shen Yinyin has a noble status and has too many common memories with Winter, so it is natural for them to be together.
But more people who have been bound by laws and secular disciplines for too long think this is simply nonsense!
Winter, who was called out, listened to the discussions around him and slowly raised his eyes. His blue eyes, which were always warm, clear, and as transparent as glass, looked deeply at the girl whom he had hidden in his heart for two lifetimes.
Shen Yinyin didn't care what others said, but she didn't know what Winter would think of her.
So, the moment she met Winter's gaze, her eyelashes twitched and her heartbeat became unbalanced.
But even though she turned her eyes away in panic, she pursed her red lips and did not deny the queen's words.
Queen Selina was a little surprised that Shen Yinyin did not refute her this time.
With undisguised contempt in her eyes, Selina reminded: "Shen Yinyin, have you forgotten? According to the Interstellar Act, neither your sworn brother Winter nor the abandoned and exiled male husband Yuri can be your male husband..."
Hearing this, Winter and Yuri's eyes darkened.
Interstellar laws and worldly prejudices were like two huge mountains pressing down on them, depriving them of their desire and craving for love for her.
Selina continued, "Besides, even if you can risk the world's condemnation for them, you are no longer qualified to talk about the future."
"After all, it is an indisputable fact that you colluded with the interstellar pirates and the Zerg, and committed treason...
"Where's the evidence?"
Shen Yinyin was not afraid. She looked determined: "Could it be that the Queen is going to slander me without any evidence, just like Daisy did in the past and Emily did now?"
Selina dared to say this, so she must have been prepared.
"Shen Yinyin, before the Eighth Planet was captured by the Zerg, everyone saw you being taken away by the interstellar pirate leader and sent back safely."
"After the Eighth Planet was captured by the Zerg, the Zerg army surrounded it tightly. How did you, a delicate female, escape safely from the Zerg army's encirclement? And how could you get the interstellar pirate leader to help you?"
Shen Yinyin looked at the queen's condescending expression and found it a little unbelievable.
Because Louis told her that the Emperor and Empress knew that the leader of the interstellar pirates was Asus, and they even knew it earlier than Louis...
"Queen, do you also think that the leader of the interstellar pirates is really an unforgivable traitor?"
Facing Shen Yinyin's questioning, Selina's smile froze for a moment, her nails pinching her palms, and she said calmly, "Of course!"
Shen Yinyin frowned.
She had never expected that the queen who had loved Asus so much would even discredit and abandon her own son in order to get rid of her and maintain her position as queen.
Asus, who heard this answer in the corner, sneered.
There was a dark coldness in his purple eyes, like frost that could not be melted, piercingly cold.
The queen, unaware that her beloved Asus was also at the banquet, continued.
"Shen Yinyin, you didn't collaborate with the enemy or betray your country. How do you explain that you can survive time and time again?!"
Shen Yinyin looked directly at the queen and said firmly, "Why?"
"Because I am different from you! Because I truly want to protect every soldier who fought for the empire! Because I am not afraid of life and death, and I can stand together with them! I will never abandon any of them!"
"Traitor? Ever since I was a lowly genderless person, someone has wanted to put me to death with this crime."
"But what did I do wrong? I just challenged the so-called supreme female law. I just wanted to take back my rights. I just wanted to seek fairness for all those who suffered injustice!"
"Compared to me, how much better are you, who have been harshly exploiting the living space of all genderless people and males, who have done nothing, and who have sent low-level females to the front lines to appease out-of-control soldiers as a show?!"
"How dare you! Shen Yinyin, how dare you slander me?!"
"Slander? Wasn't it you who instructed the Empire to delay the distribution of inhibitors to the front line? When we were trapped at the front line and almost hopeless, weren't you the one who sent us fake and inferior inhibitors?"
"When you gave up the Eighth Planet and abandoned all the soldiers who were still fighting to protect the empire, what were you doing as a queen?"
"However, I, who you called a traitor, begged the interstellar pirates you called the most heinous to help us break through the encirclement of the Zerg army. I survived with serious injuries!"
"Compared to us, who is more like the traitor?!"
Shen Yinyin's sonorous and powerful accusation, which was almost tearful, made everyone fall into silence.
Many people were moved and their eyes turned red.
Selina looked at the people who were incited by Shen Yinyin and stood up angrily: "Who gave you the courage to speak so arrogantly?!"
"Someone, come here! Capture Shen Yinyin, this bitch who is treacherous and full of nonsense!"
Hearing this, Louis, Dalton, Troy, Winter, Norton, Noel, Yuri, Grayson, Ivan and Sally, led by Duke Lebert, protected Shen Yinyin behind them.
Even Locke, who was disguised as a waiter, and Asus in the corner had extremely cold and murderous expressions, ready to take action at any time.
A group of tall and handsome top males with fierce eyes and strong aura released terrifying pressure, which frightened everyone present.
The palace guards, led by the captain of the guard, drew their weapons but did not step forward without permission when they saw that the captain had a sullen look on his face and did not move.
The queen looked at her captain of the guard and roared with a ferocious expression: "Simmons! Didn't you hear the queen's order?!"
