Of course not.
The answer was not difficult to see from the ministers' pale faces, but they had no choice but to drag their feet and find an excuse to draft an imperial edict, and several of them ran away in a flash.
Joanna picked up the black tea on the table, glanced down, and a sneer appeared in her eyes.
The palace had suffered a massive attack, her brother had died so suddenly, and yet these people had the time to brew top-quality black tea at just the right temperature.
Who are you kidding?
Not long after, the door was opened for the second time, and the ministers came back, bringing a group of people with them.
They were all wearing white coats, masks, and medical rubber gloves, and they were obviously medical staff.
Bang.
The door was shut heavily.
Joanna sat on a chair, looking at the group of people who came with ill intentions, and scolded: "What do you want to do?"
"Oh, what for?" The minister, who had just been fawning and polite, suddenly changed his expression, narrowing his eyes and giving her a cunning smile. "Of course, to help you become the next king."
Joanna's face suddenly changed. Just as she was about to stand up, the garrison officer held her shoulders and prevented her from moving. She angrily said, "I told you, Noben is the legitimate heir. I'm married and have a child. The child's surname is Noben. I will not accept the throne of Leta!"
She said, still trying to resist.
Several of the ministers showed hesitation.
"She's right. We're controlling her now, but what if she wakes up later and comes after us?"
However, just as he finished his words, his heart was pierced by the scalpel of one of the doctors in white robes.
Phew.
Blood smeared a red flower on his noble shirt. The doctor slowly pulled out the scalpel and tossed it aside. A muffled voice came out through the mask, "Fool, my surgery won't fail. Even if it does, you can still carry her to the top while she recovers, and then kill her after she wakes up. You hesitate over the smallest things, no wonder you can't accomplish anything big."
The man's tone was full of disgust.
But even though he had killed someone, especially an important noble minister, no one dared to say a word at the scene.
"What are you still standing there for? Time waits for no one. Take her to the operating room." The man changed into a pair of rubber gloves and continued to give orders to everyone.
At this time, everyone reacted and rushed over to grab Joanna.
"What the hell is going on? What are you going to do? Let me go!" Joanna was terrified and was dragged to the lounge on the side of the conference room.
Opening the king's usual resting place, there were bright and dazzling lights, as well as a cold operating table and various medical instruments.
These were obviously prepared in advance.
Joanna was terrified. Seeing that she was about to be put on the operating table, she twisted her neck and shouted behind her, "Save me!"
The leading doctor strolled leisurely in the courtyard. Upon hearing this, he chuckled with delight and whispered like a devil, "It's useless. No one will save you even if you scream your throat out."
After he finished speaking, he felt a chill on his neck. The cold and sharp texture of metal pressed against his neck, right against the aorta.
Behind him, a faint voice came, "That may not be the case."
The girl's voice was clear and cold, like a mountain spring hitting rocks, causing a moment of silence in the room.
Everyone turned their heads in shock and saw the slender figure slowly walking out from behind the doctor.
He was wearing an inconspicuous guard uniform, and because of his short stature, even his face was hidden under the brim of his hat. He had no presence since he entered the meeting room.
But at this moment, with her as the dividing line, a group of people had fallen silently outside the house, and they didn't even know when the other party took action.
The girl gently lifted her hat, allowing everyone to see her true face.
"Why is it you? Didn't you leave with the convoy?!" The doctor's face suddenly changed when he saw her. After blurting out this sentence, he gritted his teeth.
Pop.
Ye Lan struck back with a knife, knocking the man unconscious.
Joanna then escaped. She opened the door and threw out the body of a minister in the guise of the future king's aunt, making the consequences of the rebellion public.
The guards who were kept in the dark panicked and rushed in to arrest the other ministers. After interrogation, the complete truth was laid on the table.
After reading the confession, Joanna sighed, as if she had aged a lot. "I was right. The Noben family secretly took refuge with the nobles."
In fact, the clues to this matter were revealed when the younger generation of the family took her to the church to pray seemingly unintentionally. Although the potion was not successfully used on her, she became cautious when she learned at school that the nobles controlled the church.
Unexpectedly, the Noben family really betrayed her.
And the leader was her husband.
When the people were escorted in, Joanna looked at the man who had once been her bedmate and found that she no longer had any love or pity for him.
"Anna, my honorable wife, please believe me, I do all this for you. I know your ambitions and aspirations, so I chose to cooperate with them!"
Mr. Noben, who has a beer belly in his middle age and a Mediterranean hairstyle, looked very embarrassed. He crawled at his wife's feet and explained with tears and snot.
Ye Lan came out of the operating room and saw the two of them. She couldn't help but look at them a few more times, feeling a little curious.
Over there, Joanna was having the man holding her husband down sign the divorce papers with his fingerprints. Then, amid the man's howling, she sneered, "Are you really trying to help me out of the sincerity of your heart, or do you want the Noben family to have a chance to inherit the throne in the future? Do you think I'm just some stupid woman you're keeping out there?"
This double entendre directly exposes the ugly side of this marital relationship.
