Before the imperial officials could continue their condemnation, several women seated behind the imperial family slowly rose to their feet.
They were the queens of the late Emperor.
Standing at the very front was the Empress Dowager, her face filled with displeasure.
She looked coldly at Yu Qingya and Yu Feiyan.
"Enough!"
Her voice carried unquestionable authority.
"This is the coronation of the new Emperor. You are both daughters of the Imperial Family."
"Do not make a spectacle of yourselves before the distinguished guests of the Eastern Region."
One of the senior queens also stepped forward.
"Yu Qingya. You've gone too far."
"Today is the empire's most important ceremony. Even if you have grievances, this is neither the time nor the place."
Another queen shifted her gaze toward Yu Feiyan.
Unlike the others, her eyes carried unconcealed contempt.
"So you've finally dared to show yourself."
