Time Travel: Pampered by the Aloof Prince

Chapter 410: Chapter 410: Is Minister Shen Threatening Me?

Facing her confused and guarded gaze, Shi Zhou’s eyes flickered with a hint of a shallow smile, and he slowly said, “There’s no need for house arrest; you just need to kneel and worship at the Holy Maiden Temple every day for the next month, reflecting on your own mistakes.”

“What!” Upon hearing this demand, Qiya’s eyes trembled, and she shook her head in resistance, saying, “I am a princess, why should I kneel and worship at the Holy Maiden Temple!”

Shi Zhou knew she wouldn’t agree so easily and didn’t continue to argue with her. Instead, he turned to the Empress beside him, his brows slightly raised, and said in a calm voice, “As a princess of a nation, it’s bad enough to be outperformed, but to actually attempt murder in front of everyone. Shouldn’t you pay the price for your actions?”

The Empress shifted her gaze away in some panic, not daring to meet his eyes.

Even though she was already trembling with anger, she couldn’t raise her head against Shi Zhou’s resonant words.

“You!” Qiya was nearly driven to rage by his words, pointing at Shi Zhou, about to say something, when she was fiercely glared at by the Emperor, who sternly said, “Not ashamed enough yet?”

No matter how dissatisfied Qiya was, she dared not contradict her own father and could only lower her head and admit her error, her expression listless as she said, “This child knows her mistake.”

The Emperor flicked his sleeves, pondering a solution in his mind.
