Chapter 103 Do you really want to divorce Scarlett?
"One last question."
Sophia turned off the recorder in front of Scarlett, "Did Your Highness kill anyone?"
Scarlett found that Sophia was very strange today. Although her appearance had not changed, the aura she exuded was a little weird. She was calm but also a little cold. She was indifferent to everything and had no emotional ups and downs.
It was as if he was certain that she had killed someone and kept leading her in this direction.
Inside the cell.
The space is small.
The two stood face to face.
Keep your eyes fixed on the other person.
Sophia was tall, with cold eyebrows and pale golden pupils that emitted a sharp edge as she stared into Scarlett's eyes.
Scarlett was the same height as Sophia, her eyes were parallel to hers, her eyebrows were soft but not weak, a wild, vigorous, and flourishing vitality was growing wildly in her eyes, and a kind of strong and unyielding animality that was unique to females burst out at the same time, responding to Sophia's stare.
"The Queen Mother ordered you to take charge of my case because she hopes you will handle it with actions, not words."
"Want to know if I killed anyone? You should check it yourself instead of asking."
…
…
[Luck value +1000]
[Lifespan +20]
[Remaining lifespan: 308 days]
Leave the cell.
Sophia heard the system announcement tone.
Five days in a row.
The announcement never stopped.
The harder Scarlett's life is, the more luck she gets.
The system following her couldn't help but jump out in praise: "Well done, Sophia! This move of yours is absolutely perfect, killing two birds with one stone. You've managed to trick Scarlett and Morton as well. As long as Scarlett dies, all her luck will transfer to you. You will definitely be the future emperor of the Oranrosa Empire!"
Sophia remained unmoved and walked out of the courtroom calmly.
…
…
In the evening.
Imperial Court.
Bursts of coughing were heard from the side hall.
Katrina walked in with the medicine.
Catherine sat at her desk, covering her lips and coughing. There was a pile of documents in front of her, and she still held the pen in her right hand.
Catherine's pale face was hidden in the warm light, and her sharp brows softened a little. The sound of her coughing left behind a few weak afterimages.
"His Majesty."
Katrina bent down, put down the medicine, and rubbed Catherine's back to help her calm down.
Catherine stopped writing but didn't touch the medicine. She stared at the bitter black medicine in the white porcelain bowl and asked, "How is Scarlett?"
Katrina said, "Her Highness is imprisoned on the seventh cellar. Princess Sofia visited her an hour ago."
"What did you say?"
"Princess Sofia questioned Her Highness about the 'murder'. Her Highness answered all the questions but did not admit to the murder. Her Highness also said that if she wanted to know if she had committed the murder, she would investigate it herself."
Catherine smiled and said, "This kid is much more stubborn than I thought. He jumped into the fire pit even though he knew it was a fire pit. He wanted to use himself as a trigger to force me to interfere in the affairs of the research institute."
Katrina also smiled, "Your Highness and Your Majesty are very similar. Your Majesty was the same in his time."
"Yeah, I was like that back then."
When she mentioned that incident, Catherine's eyes became dazed for a moment. She smiled bitterly and said with emotion, "My mother almost failed to protect me back then. I don't know if I could protect Scarlett."
Katrina knew that Catherine was thinking about the past, and she knew she had spoken out of turn. She was silent for a moment, then said gently, "Your Majesty, His Highness will be able to turn danger into safety, just like you. Don't worry."
"I hope so." Catherine nodded with a smile.
Although Catherine said so, she was holding a fuse in her hand. Once things got out of control, she would light the fuse without reservation to protect Scarlett's safety.
Catherine picked up the medicine bowl and asked casually, "Is this a new medicine?"
Katrina said, "Yes, Your Majesty. This is a new medicine that Wenqi made based on an ancient recipe. It's milder than potions. I've had it tested and it's safe."
"Um."
After drinking the medicine, Catherine continued to deal with official business. The moment she picked up the pen, she ordered: "Katrina, during this period of time, anyone from the Huldah Palace, no matter who they are, will be turned away."
…
…
late at night.
Herda Palace.
Chi Ye got off the flying ship and rushed into the main hall in anger.
He had been rejected twice in a row and was now extremely furious. His eyes were burning red and he looked at everyone with impatience.
She sat down in the chair, gave Holst a sidelong glance, and then said, "Your bad words have come true. His Majesty refuses to see me, and the court won't allow Scarlett to visit me."
Holst raised an eyebrow, said nothing, and turned to look at Riley.
Riley understood, turned on his light brain, selected sharing, and played the hot news that was fermenting on the Star Network today for everyone to see.
[The vicious female Scarlett slew civilians with her own hands. The former pride of the common people has now been reduced to a corpse. The real culprit is being protected by people inside and outside the imperial city. Will the common people ever have a chance to rise again?]
Below this news, it was described in detail how Scarlett caused a scene in the institute because of a photo, pursued the person relentlessly, and finally killed the civilian Christine.
The language is concise and the wording is precise, and every key turning point is described in detail, as if it were a personal experience.
It sparked heated discussions on StarNet.
Millions of comments scroll continuously, so you can always see something new.
Because they were anonymous, everyone's speeches were highly subjective and the language was passionate, with countless insulting words emerging one after another.
If language could be turned into a sharp blade, it would hit Scarlett through the Internet.
She must be riddled with wounds and unrecognizable by now, with no place left to be cut.
"This group of people are too outrageous! I will pull them all out, send them to the court, hang them up and beat them for three days and three nights, and let them die of pain!" Chi Ye gritted his teeth and said indignantly.
"Yes!" Sylvia echoed loudly.
Dzeko didn't say anything, just watched silently, but he had other thoughts in his mind.
Seeing that everyone had finished watching, Riley turned off the computer and said slowly, "Isn't this the result we wanted in the first place?"
Chiye frowned, "What do you mean?"
Riley glanced at Sevilla with his peripheral vision. Sevilla was stunned for a moment, then he understood. A blue light bloomed between his eyebrows, and in a short while, an absolute domain was formed.
Riley continued, "We were originally planning to use public outcry to divorce Scarlett. Isn't this situation exactly what we wanted?"
Chi Ye was stunned at first, then he slammed the table and stood up, glaring at Riley, "So, you did this?"
Riley just smiled and said nothing.
If he really did it, this matter would be easy to solve.
Unfortunately, he did nothing.
Dzeko pulled Chiye and said, "Wait a minute, let Riley finish what he has to say."
"What else?"
Chi Ye said angrily, "He's obsessed with divorcing Scarlett and doesn't care about her life or death at all. He might have done this. No! I'm going to the Imperial Court again and report the truth to His Majesty!"
Having said that, Chiye was about to go out.
Dzeko didn't let go and pulled him hard. Chi Ye was not as strong as Dzeko, so he staggered and fell back into the chair.
Chiye raised his head and said angrily, "Zheke! Are you also in cahoots with him to kill Scarlett?"
"no."
Compared to Chiye's irritability, Dzeko seemed much calmer, "I just want to hear Riley finish first."
Although Dzeko doesn't like Riley, he has to admit that at times, Riley is more useful than them.
He pressed Chiye into the chair and winked at Riley, "Go on."
Riley continued, ignoring the suggestion.
He stood up, his hands on the table, and looked at everyone present. His dark green eyes shone with a faint light, quiet and gentle. He slowly asked, "Do you really want to divorce Scarlett?"
