Chapter 1706: Skinning
“Mom! Save me, I don’t want to go to jail!”
Ye Jingyun moved her lips and looked up at Queen Yulia.
“Mother…”
“Take her away!” interrupted Shen Fanxing coldly.
“You…”
“Besides, you’ll be sentenced to death,” said Shen Fanxing slowly, her words so slow that it made one gnash their teeth in hatred.
Ye Jingyun’s head buzzed as she glared at Shen Fanxing. Her voice was sharp as she said, “What right do you have!”
“What do you think?”
“My queen!!”
Leah suddenly screamed in pain. Shen Fanxing’s expression froze. She turned around and saw that Queen Yulia had fainted on the chair.
…
Her face darkened and she suddenly shifted her gaze to two of the guards. “Carry the Queen to her room. Go and get a doctor! The rest of you, bring Bei Xi away. Yu Song, help me call Tang Jian over!”
After calmly and methodically arranging everything, she turned around and followed the guard. She instructed him to carry Queen Yulia and walk towards the nearest lounge.
This sudden change made Ye Jingyun and Bei Lei’s faces turn ashen.
Queen Yulia had fainted. If this matter were to spread, it would shock the entire country.
More importantly, she had fainted from anger!
The Queen had managed Country Y for so many years and was loved by the people!
Now, she had fainted from anger because of Bei Xi…
–
The Queen was old and had been sitting in the position of the king for many years. She had been working hard all year round. Even though she often took care of her body, she had many problems.
Now that Bei Xi had made a few mistakes, all the energy she had been holding on to collapsed. She lay on the bed for nearly an hour and was still unconscious.
“She’s a ruthless person. She has accumulated so many problems over the years. It’s indeed beyond an ordinary person’s tolerance for an old woman like her. I wonder what made her survive until now.”
Shen Fanxing sat quietly by the bed and listened to Tang Jian. Her eyes trembled as she stared at Queen Yulia.
She pursed her lips and bit the soft flesh in her mouth tightly. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
Leah glanced at her and said softly,
“Princess, you don’t have to blame yourself. If the queen finds out, she will blame herself even more.”
Shen Fanxing glanced at her calmly.
Leah stood to one side, watching the sleeping face of Queen Yulia. She said calmly:
“Ever since you left last time, the queen has been blaming herself. If she had to blame someone, she feels that if she didn’t adopt Duke Ava… Miss, then you and your mother wouldn’t be in this situation now. She can’t forgive herself for doting on them all these years… When she knew that Princess Feng Mian had passed away, she really placed all her feelings on Miss Ava, so much so that her daughters, even those with foreign surnames, were given the title of princess…”

“If you blame yourself, she might… feel even more guilty towards you and your daughter, so don’t feel guilty. The more the Queen loves you, the deeper the struggle in her heart.”
Shen Fanxing’s pupils quivered and she felt a lump in her throat.
Leah sighed. “It’s all fate.”
The room fell silent for a while. Tang Jian had been a doctor for many years and she couldn’t stand the lifeless atmosphere.
“It’s just a problem accumulated from years of hard work. Next, you just have to calm down and recuperate. It’s not the time to part ways. Can you all not be so sad?”
“And you… Mrs. Bo, watch your emotions. You’ve been very unstable these two days, do you know that?!”
Tang Jian’s words made Shen Fanxing take a deep breath. She opened her eyes and looked at Tang Jian to confirm, “Will you be fine as long as you recuperate?”
Tang Jian raised an eyebrow. “Suspecting me?”
Shen Fanxing’s shoulders relaxed.
After a few seconds of silence, she looked at Leah and asked, “Did you hide the news of Grandma fainting?”
Leah shook her head. “I didn’t deliberately give the order to hide it. There are too many people in the palace. I’m afraid I can’t hide it.”
She sighed and said, “She has persevered for so many years. Now that she has finally brought you and your daughter back and is about to abdicate, there’s no point in hiding it anymore. Actually, this is quite good. She should rest well.”
Shen Fanxing nodded and remained silent for a while before continuing,
“So be it.”
Leah gave her a puzzled look. She didn’t understand, but she nodded silently.
–
There was nothing to hide.
What had happened at Miss Fina’s birthday party last night had already caused an uproar. Everyone was talking about what Bailey and Bei Xi had done last night with undisguised sarcasm.
In less than a morning, the news of Queen Yulia fainting spread.
Just as Ye Jingyun and Bailey were worried, the entire country’s citizens were shocked.
“Something happened?”
“The two princesses caused a commotion at the banquet last night. Today’s headlines are filled with sarcasm. Just because we know this doesn’t mean that the Queen doesn’t!”
“Yes, the matter is so serious. The mother and daughter must be going to the palace to beg for forgiveness today, right? The Queen must have been angered by them!”
“They’ve embarrassed the royal family. How can the queen not be angry?”
“No, no, no. According to the news from the palace, the three of them have been stripped of their titles as princesses! That lowly one couldn’t take it anymore. The Queen of Curses has lived for too long and isn’t worthy of being the Queen of Country Y! Hence, the Queen fainted from anger!”

“Oh my god… This Bei Xi deserves to die!”
“I also heard that the new princess met with an accident on her way to Miss Fina’s birthday party yesterday and almost lost her life. It was all arranged by the mother-daughter trio!”
“…”
For some reason, these facts spread throughout the entire palace and even Country Y.
Instantly, the mother-daughter trio became the hottest topic.
When the dukes and ministers came to ask about the queen, Shen Fanxing realized that the news had spread like wildfire.
Although she didn’t deliberately hide it, there was no suspicious publicity. Although she had this intention, it was only after Grandma woke up.
However, a moment later, she understood.
Yu Song was also present.
This matter was inevitably his doing.
Her lips twitched involuntarily.
With them around, she saved a lot of trouble.
They would always know what she wanted to do next.
This lesson was enough to make the three of them lose too much.
Not just the title of a princess!
No one knew better than her what it felt like to have a bad reputation!
The image that they had built up in Country Y over the years had collapsed. Their connections would definitely be damaged.
He wanted to peel off their skin layer by layer, but this time, he even pulled out their tendons.
