Chapter 382 Confirm
"You…" the Queen stuttered as she looked at everyone in the room. "It was not me," she muttered loud enough for everyone to hear.
"It was not me." This time she said it ever louder before glaring at Jiang Yue. "How dare you do this to me? I am the dignified Queen! You can't frame me and embarrass me in front of my people!"
"Actually…" When Jiang Yue spoke, it immediately made the room get quite. "No one said that it was you."
Jiang Yue's words made everyone dumbfounded. However, it was also true. No one could actually confirm that it was the Queen. Since they just saw a silhouette and heard some voices. They couldn't confirm anything.
However, Carlisle and everyone there immediately assumed that it was the Queen. But who could blame them? It was her room and everyone heard her voice. Plus, she was shouting and identifying herself as the Queen. Moreover, she came here in such a disheveled state.
Of course, everyone would assume that the woman inside the Queen's room was really her.
"Did anyone here said that it was you?" Jiang Yue raised an eyebrow at her before glancing at the Crown Prince. "Other than your son, no one said so!"
"I mean... No offense, but maybe your son recognized you, so he panicked and accidentally sent the recording to every device in Dongsu City," she added.
"What?" Queen Ah-Joong immediately looked at Carlisle. When her son told her about the incident, he omitted the fact that he had accidentally pressed the wrong button and shared the video to everyone outside of the palace.
Seeing her son's guilty expression, Queen Ah-Joong narrowed her eyes at Jiang Yue. This woman must have tricked her son into doing that.
"You are a despicable woman!" She fumed at Jiang Yue before looking at the King. "Your Highness… it is only good that you have called me here. I would like to report something."
"I have called you here not for you to report something, but to know the identity of that woman in your chambers," Gideon interrupted with a grim tone.
"I... I don't know, Your Highness." She immediately denied everything, wondering why was he doing that in front of everyone.
"Were you at your chambers this morning?" Gideon asked.
"I…" she stuttered. What was she supposed to answer to him at that moment? Moreover, how come she was the one who was being questioned when it was supposed to be Jiang Yue instead?
Seeing Jiang Yue's smug expression, only made Queen Ah-Joong angrier. That woman must have plotted everything in advance. She must have given her some drugs to make her want to do it at that moment.
Now, that she thought about it, that itching had started a few days before Jiang Yue went to see the King. Was it possible that Jiang Yue was already in the country, long before she announced about her presence? Was is Jiang Yue that had done it to her?
That day was supposed to be the day of a victory for them. Everything was already prepared… but they had failed to check whether Jiang Yue was also planning to destroy them on that day.
"Answer me!" Gideon's cold voice woke her up from her stupor. She looked at him as her eyes started pooling with tears.
"I… Your Highness, I was framed… please, investigate this matter." She kneeled in front of the King. It was her only choice! Otherwise, the King could order to execute her on the bases of adultery.
"Mother… what are you doing? Why are you kneeling?" Carlisle immediately approached his mother to help her up from kneeling.
"NO!" The Queen shook off her son's hands. "I was framed!" She then turned her tear-stricken face towards the King. "You have to believe me. Someone has drugged me and is trying to frame me. Please…"
