"What are you going to do to my Zhen Er?!"
After shaking off the Old Angel King's arm, Xin Yao spoke in a trembling voice.
At this point, how could she fail to see the situation before her? Precisely because she understood, she could not accept what the Old Angel King was doing. He actually intended to make a move against her Zhen Er, and he was even using her as leverage!
They said women were naturally weak, but mothers were strong. That was indeed true. No one had expected Consort Xin Yao, who had always meekly endured everything, to speak such outrageously disrespectful words to the Old Angel King before so many Tiangong Bigshots.
After their surprise, they could all understand her, but understanding was all it was. There was no sympathy to speak of. With a political enemy from the Deep Palace Courtyard about to be brought under control, they wished they could go over and stomp on her a few more times. How could they possibly give up the chance to deal a heavy blow to an opponent over meaningless sentiments like understanding a woman or a mother? That was clearly unrealistic.
The people atop the Platform Fortress exchanged glances, then all looked toward the Old Angel King. After all, this was not the time for them to interject too much.
The Old Angel King looked at Xin Yao. Contrary to what everyone expected, he did not fly into a rage. A trace of guilt flashed deep in his calm eyes, but it was quickly replaced by indifference. Without replying, he crooked a finger and summoned his Guard Captain to his side, gestured toward Xin Yao, then said blandly.
"Watch over the Royal Consort. Do not let anything happen to her, or I will hold you accountable!"
