I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon-Chapter 1011 - 376: The Empress Wants to Remarry? Chen Family Wife Competes for the Position!

Chapter 1011: Chapter 376: The Empress Wants to Remarry? Chen Family Wife Competes for the Position!

Looking at the Empress’s serious expression, Yu Youhan’s eyebrow twitched.

"So you’ve disguised yourself as a female officer, traveled all the way to the Southern Border just to tell me this?"

"Jiang Yuchan, aren’t you being too naive!"

"Naive? You, laughing at others when you’re no better? As the Imperial Concubine, disguising yourself as a Sky Scale Guard to secretly meet with Chen Mo, truly shameless..."

"Say that again?" Yu Youhan’s eyes turned cold.

The Empress shivered, instinctively taking a step back.

However, remembering the "ambitious aspirations" she had set for herself before coming, she gritted her teeth and stood firm, "You- you can’t scare me. If you could have acted, you would have already done so, there’s no need to wait till now..."

"Is that so?"

Yu Youhan’s heart filled with killing intent.

Times have changed, now she doesn’t care as much about the backlash on national fortune.

Moreover, this time the Empress left the palace in secret, if she were to die here, no one would know it was her doing, it’s a perfect opportunity...

Chu Yanli sensed something amiss, her expression turned serious, standing in front of the Empress, golden flames ignited in her eyes.

"Consort Yu, think carefully."

"As long as I activate the Tiger Talisman, within half a stick of incense, the Xuanhuang Army and the Heavenly Phoenix Army can reach Bailu City."

"But the question is, can you hold on for half a stick of incense?" Yu Youhan asked softly, her green eyes full of mockery.

The atmosphere was tense, on the verge of breaking into conflict.

The heat from her wrist, Yu Youhan frowned slightly, "Indeed, as long as it’s someone Chen Mo cares about, even far from the Imperial Palace, and even if he’s not present, I still can’t make a move."

"The Empress must have seen through this, so she acts fearlessly."

"Forget it, can’t take the risk..."

Sensing the killing intent dissipate, Chu Yanli’s tense body relaxed, a smile creeping up, "That’s more like it, we can discuss this calmly..."

Bang!

Before finishing her sentence, a flash of green light knocked her flying!

She was slammed into the carriage wall, chest caving in, spitting a mouthful of blood, face as pale as gold paper, while the coachmen outside were unaware.

Yu Youhan stood unmoved, speaking indifferently, "Is this something you can butt into? Even threatening me with a Tiger Talisman, Chu Yanli, you’ve grown tired of living?"

If I can’t touch the Empress, I can still touch you?

The Princess clearly hasn’t been included in Chen Mo’s "inner circle," the red silk has no reaction to her.

"Li’er!"

The Empress cried out.

Opening her arms to protect Chu Yanli, she angrily retorted to Yu Youhan, "If you have the guts, come at me!"

"Tsk, you think I don’t want to?" Yu Youhan replied, looking displeased.

"Don’t worry, I’m fine." Chu Yanli coughed, sitting on the ground to catch her breath, strands of golden light emanating, her fractured ribs soon returning to normal, her cheeks gradually regaining color.

The opponent hadn’t struck a fatal blow, it was merely a warning—

If it were a fight to the death between the two, lasting ten breaths, let alone half a stick of incense, would already be impressive!

Though in terms of pure combat power, she’s stronger than a top First Grade, in front of this woman, it makes no difference, just a slightly stronger ant...

Yu Youhan lazily leaned on her chair, legs crossed, raising her eyes towards the Empress, "Let’s talk, what do you mean by fair competition?"

?

The topic switched so fast, the Empress almost didn’t respond.

Ensuring Chu Yanli was unharmed, she helped her to a seat beside, then sat across from Yu Youhan, solemnly saying, "I know your relationship with Chen Mo is not simple, you seem to have a special bond, like that red silk..."

Yu Youhan remained expressionless, "So?"

"Even though it’s unrealistic to separate you two, I hope you can understand one thing..."

The Empress fixed her apricot eyes on Yu Youhan, with unwavering determination, she said, "I will never give Chen Mo up to anyone, even if it means sacrificing dignity, status, or even life!"

?

Seeing her resolute demeanor, Yu Youhan paused, then burst into laughter.

"What’s so funny? I’m serious!" The Empress clenched her fists, face flushed, "You’re being quite rude!"

"For the Mother of the Country, to say such cheesy stuff?" Yu Youhan shook with laughter, almost in tears, shaking her head, "It’s easy to fool others, but can you fool yourself?"

The one who understands their enemy the most is always the adversary.

The two have known each other for years, matching wits and blows, understanding each other’s ways clearly.

Since the Emperor fell ill, neglecting state affairs, and the Empress as a woman, balancing factions, securing the court, managing national affairs, stabilizing the country, has put in untold efforts, how could she act on selfish whims?

"You think I don’t know your plan?" Yu Youhan waved dismissively, scoffing, "If one day, Chen Mo’s Dragon Qi dissipates, no longer linked to the national fortune, can you still be so sure?"

The Empress remained silent for a while, not replying immediately. From her robe, she took out a piece of yellow silk and placed it on the table.

"What is this?"

Yu Youhan picked it up, unfolded it for a glance, her expression froze.

It was filled with tiny print, listing the Empress’s "sins," essentially suggesting she’s unworthy as the Mother of the Country, volunteering to leave the Eastern Royal Palace, to retire in a secluded temple, ending her days in reflection.

Essentially a "confession of guilt."

In simple terms, it means anyone who wants the title of Empress can take it, she’s done with it.

In terms of etiquette, the Empress doesn’t have the right to resign voluntarily, but now, with the Emperor bedridden, as the acting Imperial Power, there’s really no one who can stop her.
