Following the two bodyguards, we went to the magnificent top floor. Black-clad bodyguards stood on both sides of the corridor, indicating that the Queen had reserved the entire top floor for herself.

I saw Lu Mo and the Queen in the hall. I usually see the Queen in newspapers and on TV. This second Queen of T country has an excellent resume. She comes from a prestigious family, graduated from a prestigious university, and is young and beautiful. Even if she didn't marry the King, there would be countless young talents waiting for her.

Moreover, it seems that the Queen might be living a more comfortable life if she married into a wealthy family!

The queen always appears glamorous and radiant on television and in newspapers, but up close she looks quite haggard, with obvious fine lines around her eyes and dark circles under her eyes, clearly indicating excessive worry and lack of sleep.

"Mrs. Dylan told me about the ball that night. You came for Basha, didn't you?" The Queen's voice was gentle and soothing.

"Yes, how is Princess Basha now? We can't get in touch with her and we're very worried," Ye Qingqing asked directly.

The Queen smiled slightly. "Bassa is lucky to have such good friends like you. She's under house arrest by the King, and I can't see her either. She should be fine for now. Julie isn't that audacious."

Ye Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief. As long as everyone was alright, that was good. The engagement was off, so be it. There were plenty of men in the world; she could find someone better.

"Why did the King put Basha under house arrest? Was it Julie who instigated him?" Ye Qingqing asked.

The Queen nodded. "As soon as Julie returned, she told the King what happened at the ball that night, and there was even a video. The King was furious. He pretended to be sick and tricked Basha into coming back."

Ye Qingqing sighed. Basha was too honest; she knew it was a scam but still foolishly jumped in.

"Was Julie the one who caused trouble for her fiancé?"

The Queen sneered, "Julie is very jealous. When she learned that Uncle Basha had found her a good marriage, she deliberately got close to that man. Ha... all men are the same. They want more than they have. Plus, with Julie's seduction, this man has long forgotten about Basha."

She had already found out everything. Julie first gave the video to her fiancé and deliberately said some ambiguous things to make him mistakenly believe that Basha was a promiscuous girl. The fiancé, who was already tired of the taciturn and dull Basha, was satisfied with the video and had a good excuse to get rid of Basha.

"It's better to get rid of this kind of scoundrel. Even if Basha gets married, she won't be happy," Gongsun Lin said bitterly.

A handsome face appeared in her mind, her face flushed, and she felt a strange sensation in her heart. The man usually acted unrestrained and unruly, but when it mattered, he was very manly and courageous, much better than Basha's so-called honest and loyal man.

The Queen sighed, "Although that man was not worth marrying, he took the initiative to break off the engagement, causing the King a great humiliation. He holds a grudge against Basha for this, and who knows when he will get over it!"

Having been married for over a decade, she knows the king well. He has no bearing of a monarch; in reality, he's a petty and vindictive scoundrel. Basha is likely doomed this time.

"You wouldn't harm your own daughter, would you? Would that leave you with any humanity?" Ye Qingqing said angrily.

The Queen shook her head and said with a wry smile, "Of course he wouldn't do something so foolish, but he would marry Basha off to consolidate his royal power!"
