I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon-Chapter 1012 - 376: Is the Empress Remarrying? Chen Family Wife Competing for the Position! (Part 2)
This crazy woman...
Actually taking it seriously?!
"When I entered the palace, it was a transaction from the start. Over these years, I believe I’ve been true to my conscience."
"Now that the situation at the Southern Border is stabilizing, the Demon Lord has fallen, the Great Yuan faces no external threats, only internal ones remain."
"Once the Eightfold Exorcism Array is dismantled, we can begin to clear the sects and families."
"The Crown Prince may be young, but with Li’er outside and Lv Huaiyu inside, supporting him to solidify his reign won’t be difficult, at least securing the dynasty for a century."
"You might say I’m shameless or disregarding propriety, but I’ve wasted half my life and only wish to follow my heart from now on."
The Empress lowered her eyes, her eyelashes trembled slightly, as she bit her lip, "I don’t want to be Empress, I want to be Lady Chen!"
"..."
Chu Yanli’s mouth slightly opened, looking at her in disbelief.
Yu Youhan remained silent for a long time, then casually tossed away the yellow silk, saying indifferently, "Whether you want to be Empress or not is none of my business, but being Lady Chen is impossible; that spot is already taken."
The Empress bit her lip, "This is not up to either of us, Chen Mo has to decide for himself."
Yu Youhan sneered, "You seem very confident."
The Empress lifted her chin, snorting, "Don’t forget, I’m the Empress and you’re a concubine. I overshadowed you before, and it will be the same in the future!"
Yu Youhan’s gaze grew colder, "Jiang Yuchan, are you asking for trouble?"
The Empress’s face stiffened, instinctively placing her hands behind her back, stammering, "Let me make it clear, no hitting!"
???
Chu Yanli appeared dazed, her face full of question marks.
Her brother’s not even cold, and the legitimate wife and the concubine are already fighting over who will remarry...
Not even bothering to act anymore!
The Empress is understandable, she’s been upfront from the start.
But to think that the ruthless female demon Yu Youhan would also be fighting for Chen Mo’s affection?
It’s truly outrageous!
"Ahem, let me interrupt."
Chu Yanli cleared her throat and tentatively said, "What if, I mean, what if Chen Mo became the Prince Consort? With all his talents, it would be a shame not to serve the court."
As soon as these words were spoken, the air went silent.
The two who were arguing turned their heads slowly, staring directly at Chu Yanli.
"Li’er, what nonsense are you talking?"
"Chu, are you looking for trouble?"
Chu Yanli silently lowered her head, "Okay then, carry on..."
At this moment, the soft sedan gradually came to a stop.
Outside, Sun Senior Palace Lady’s voice was heard, "Your Highness, we have arrived."
Yu Youhan stood up, her eyes coldly fixed on the Empress, "I advise you not to waste your efforts. My fate is intertwined with Chen Mo’s, no one else can interfere..."
"As far as I know, he already has a betrothal, and you’re the third party..."
The Empress crossed her arms confidently, "I don’t want to squabble with you; everything that needed to be said has been said. As for who will have the last laugh, we’ll see."
"Hmph."
Yu Youhan, unwilling to waste any more words, vanished like a bubble.
"Huh? Why did she leave? I haven’t even asked her where Chen Mo is!"
The Empress realized as she hurriedly lifted the curtain of the sedan, but there was no trace left.
"Alright, everyone outside is still waiting." Chu Yanli spoke, "Chen Mo is here to investigate; he won’t leave Bailu City until he gets to the bottom of the Gu Body Sect’s matters. You’ll have a chance to meet him sooner or later."
"That’s true." The Empress nodded and then inquired, "By the way, do you think there’s a problem with the State Mansion?"
"A significant one,"
Chu Yanli’s eyes glinted, "Looks like we’ll be staying here for a while."
...
...
Last night.
Yihua Building.
In the guest room on the second floor, the members of the Sky Scale Guard had gradually returned.
But they waited until midnight, still without any sign of Chen Mo and Xu You.
"Strange, they’ve been gone so long without any news, could it be..."
Li Yuan was getting restless, wanting to go out and search, but Ye Zi’e quickly stopped her, "Relax, they won’t be in trouble."
With the Empress around, what could possibly go wrong?
If you disrupted their private moment, there would be consequences to face.

As the third watch drum sounded, a gust of night wind howled past.
The window was blown open with a "bang," and Chen Mo flashed into the room, wearing a mask and holding an unknown woman.
"Sir."
"Mr. Chen."
The group all rose to their feet.
Li Yuan looked at the unconscious girl, puzzled, "Mr. Chen, who is she..."
"Lady Hua’s maid, and also a spy for the Gu God Sect." Chen Mo lifted his hand and tossed Little Butterfly to the ground.
During his confrontation with Daoist Xuanzhen at the Daoist Temple, this woman attempted to relay information back but was intercepted by him en route.
"Did you find any clues?" Ye Zi’e inquired.
"Yes, I discovered the Gu God Sect’s location and even fought someone..."
Chen Mo recounted the events briefly but omitted the part where he and Xu You were eavesdropping.
Upon hearing that the Li Family’s merchant ship concealed Barbarian Slaves, everyone was taken aback. They hadn’t expected the Barbarian Tribe to be involved!
This poses a significant problem!
What was originally a matter of rogue sects causing chaos, an internal affair of the two states in the Southern Border, has now escalated to a national issue! After all, colluding with the Barbarian Tribe amounts to outright treason!
"Where is Mr. Xu? Why didn’t she come back with you?"
Ye Zi’e looked out the window, not spotting Xu You.
Chen Mo replied, "Mr. Xu and I split up; she’s tracking someone else and will send a message if there’s trouble. Now, tell me what you’ve discovered."
