I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon-Chapter 1053 - 390: The Empress’s Service, Blossoming Splendor! Yu Youhan Breaks Into Qianji Palace! (Part 2)
???
Chen Mo’s nerves suddenly tensed, and his breathing became erratic.
"Who taught His Highness this?!"
"Self-taught..."
With the addition of soapwort, the already delicate skin became even smoother, making the touch particularly clear.
Meanwhile, the Empress was also extremely uncomfortable. Those distinct, solid muscles felt like steel plates, and every friction made her whole body shiver, her calves trembling uncontrollably.
"Since it’s washed, wash it thoroughly."
The Empress glanced down, misty-eyed, and murmured, "Turn your head away, don’t look at me."
"Hmm?"
Before Chen Mo could react, she took a deep breath and slowly submerged—

Chen Mo couldn’t hold it anymore, abruptly stood up, splashing water, and directly lifted the Empress by the waist, striding towards the bed.
After the steam dried, she was placed on the mattress, with an elbow pressing near the neck, looking down at her from above.
"Wait, wait a moment..."
The Empress placed her hands on Chen Mo’s chest, her expression slightly flustered.
Chen Mo frowned slightly, "Does His Highness not want this?"
"Of course I want this, otherwise why was I so proactive yesterday?" The Empress glared at him with shame and anger, biting her lip, "But have you thought about how to explain this to Yu Youhan?"
In the past, the Empress wouldn’t have worried about these things, would have even wanted to act before that female demon.
But things are different now.
Upon learning that Wu Lie and the Qi Family might harm Chen Mo, Yu Youhan’s role became crucial.
It was precisely because of the Supreme Level deterrence that the opposition didn’t dare act rashly. If that woman gets really provoked and disregards everything, who would ensure Chen Mo’s safety?
"This..."
Chen Mo recalled his promise to the Empress not to "live ignobly", hesitating for a moment.
The Empress’s eyes glimmered, touching his cheek, softly saying, "You once told me, if love lasts long, does it matter being together day and night? Anyway, I’m already...already yours, I won’t run away, so why rush?"
Chen Mo pushed down his restless Qi-Blood, nodding, "His Highness makes a good point, I hadn’t thought it through."
The Empress knew it wasn’t Chen Mo’s fault; after all, she had provoked him. Slightly hesitating, blushing, she said, "I understand you’re uncomfortable, why not do it like before to help you?"
Chen Mo stroked his chin, pondering, "I have a better idea that won’t make the Empress angry."
"What idea?" The Empress asked curiously.
Chen Mo smiled mischievously, "Please turn around, you’ll know soon enough."
"Alright then."
Though puzzled, the Empress complied.
"This feels so strange..."
Suddenly, her body shuddered, lips slightly parted, disbelief evident on her face.
"What are you doing?!"
"Little thief, stop! How can you do that there...it’s unbearable!"
...
...
Tiandu City, Imperial Palace.
The vast Qianji Palace was silent and lifeless.
In the corner, a shadow twisted, and a slender figure slowly emerged, approaching the dragon bed, bowing and saying, "Your Majesty, news from the Southern Border has arrived. Yin Tiankou is dead, and the Gu God Sect is thoroughly wiped out. However, the Empress is still staying in Bailu City..."
"Heh..."
Behind the bright yellow canopy, a chuckle sounded, followed by a hoarse voice, "Just a mere insect, yet it dreams of immortality? Even I haven’t achieved that, why dare he...cough cough..."
"Please take care of your health, Your Majesty," Qi Lianshan said quietly.
The coughing gradually subsided, the Emperor took a breath, softly asking, "Besides this, what else happened?"
Qi Lianshan hesitated slightly, "The Barbarian Slave issue was discovered, with involved officials almost all implicated, it seems not only the Southern Border, but Tiannan, Jinyang, and even the Central State’s bureaucracy will face a cleansing..."
"Lianshan."
The Emperor interrupted suddenly.
Qi Lianshan lowered his head, "What commands does Your Majesty have?"
The Emperor asked, "How long have you been with me?"
Qi Lianshan, somewhat confused, still answered honestly, "Replying to Your Majesty, for over ten years."
"Back then, to counterbalance the Jiang Family, I cooperated with your father, not only arranged a marriage between the Yu and Qi families, but kept you by my side all these years, treating you as a true confidant, shouldn’t I have treated you generously..." the Emperor’s condition seemed to improve, his words flowed more smoothly.
Qi Lianshan responded solemnly, "Your Majesty’s grace is immense, even unto death, Lianshan dares not forget."
"Since that’s so, then why would you plot against me?" The Emperor said indifferently.
Qi Lianshan froze, bewildered, "Why would Your Majesty say this?"
"Over the years, your behind-the-scenes actions, I know them all." The Emperor said sternly, "Secretly supporting Prince Yu Mansion, using the Red Marrow Blood Pearl to help Chu Heng suppress the Curse Seal, even forging a clone using ancient artifacts for Prince Yu..."
Qi Lianshan’s eyes flashed with panic, cold sweat sliding down his temples.
"But none of that matters, because I too wanted to see how far Chu Heng could go."
"Reality proved me right, mud is mud, it can never support a wall."
Saying this, the Emperor paused, sighed, "But what you shouldn’t have done, was target that vessel, you knew how important it was to me."
Plop—
Qi Lianshan’s knees softened, falling to the ground, "Your Majesty..."
"Once the plan succeeds, everything promised to your Qi Family will be delivered, why be so eager?"
"Please forgive, Your Majesty!" Qi Lianshan said in panic, "I was unaware in advance, someone acted without authorization..."
The Emperor said indifferently, "And the Heart Devouring Poisonous Insect? Were you unaware too? And the spy planted in the Mystic Armor Guard, wasn’t that your doing?"
