I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon-Chapter 920 - 343: The Empress Stays at the Chen Mansion! Collision With Her Majesty the Empress! (Part 2)
Concerned about the Gu God Sect?
Clearly you’re worried about Chen Mo!
Yu Youhan had anticipated this and calmly said, "Go back and tell the Empress that Chen Mo is unavailable tonight and to schedule another time."
Then she turned to Chen Mo and asked, "By the way, what did you say to me when you came out of the bathroom earlier?"
Chen Mo recalled it carefully and cautiously said, "I said it’s getting late; should Her Majesty stay at the Chen Mansion..."
"Good."
Yu Youhan nodded.
?
Sun Senior Palace Lady shivered, feeling a chill spread up her spine, hitting her skull with shock and awe.
No wonder Her Majesty the Consort is here...
Turns out Mr. Chen is sharing a concubine?!
"Why are you still standing there? Don’t you understand when I speak?" Yu Youhan impatiently waved her hand, "Get out."
Boom—
Sun Senior Palace Lady seemed to be hit by an invisible giant hammer, flying backward and disappearing from sight in an instant.
"Sorry to make you laugh."
Seeing He Yuzhi, who stood there in shock, Yu Youhan suddenly realized her actions were too forceful, and she looked at Chen Mo with her Qing Bi eyes as if seeking help.
Chen Mo snapped back to reality and said, "There are rooms available in the East Wing for resting. If Her Majesty doesn’t mind, please follow me."
"Alright." Yu Youhan responded, "It’s getting late; Madam should rest early too."
Then she followed Chen Mo out of the courtyard.
Chen Fu was kneeling on the ground all this time, not daring to look up.
He Yuzhi shivered, moved to sit on a stone bench by the wall, and her back was drenched with cold sweat.
Though she had expected this, she never thought their relationship had progressed to this extent!
It would be one thing if it were just Her Majesty the Consort, but now it seems unclear between Chen Mo and the Empress, not to mention the Princess who insists he become Prince Consort...
This harem is like it’s meant for him!
Right now, Chen Mo seems to handle things smoothly because the conflict hasn’t fully erupted.
Neither the Empress nor the Imperial Consort are easy to deal with; no one will truly yield. If things really escalate, the entire Chen Family will pay dearly!
"It might end up like a puzzle game for nine clans..."
"Can this kid handle it?"
He Yuzhi was uneasy, feeling a chilly sensation on her neck.
Noticing Chen Fu still kneeling, she said, "Alright, they’re gone. Get up quickly."
Chen Fu’s throat moved slightly, and he said softly, "Madam, this old servant has been diligent for decades, working hard without complaint. Even if there’s no merit, there’s effort... If you and Master plan to escape, please take this old servant along."
He Yuzhi: "..."
...
...
Night fell, and Yangxin Palace was brightly lit. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
In the inner hall, the Empress leaned on a small couch, reading a book without a cover by candlelight.
"This little thief is quite diligent, updating five Chapters after just returning a few days."
"Though the plot is somewhat absurd, it’s still captivating; the key lies in its realistic analysis and satire..."
The Empress could naturally see that this "Silver Bottle Plum" discusses desire, but its words reveal official corruption, power distortion, human nature’s twist, and ethical collapse...
Rather than a "lustful read," it serves more as a mirror reflecting humanity.
No book before this focused on common people, pioneering a new direction for novel genres.
"At a young age, he has such sharp writing; it’s truly surprising."
"Besides, he’s skilled at poetry—quite the blend of refinement and vulgarity—and he has unique insights into politics; being a military officer is beneath his talents..."
"We might as well take Lv Huaiyu’s suggestion and make him be the reading companion to the Crown Prince?"
"As long as I’m there each time, nothing should go wrong."
The Empress pondered to herself.
Knock knock knock—
At that moment, there was a knock at the door.
"Coming!"
The Empress’s eyes lit up; she quickly sat up, hid the book under her pillow, and tidied her hair by the mirror before saying, "Come in."
Sun Senior Palace Lady entered with her head down, "Servant greets Your Majesty."
The Empress looked, finding no one behind her, and her brow furrowed, "Why have you returned alone? Where is Chen Mo?"
Seeing Sun Senior Palace Lady’s pale face, the Empress sensed something was wrong and asked sternly, "What happened?"
Sun Senior Palace Lady organized her words and said, "The servant went to Chen Mansion intending to invite Mr. Chen to the palace, but met Consort Yu and was intercepted midway..."
?
The Empress was stunned, not quite believing, "You mean, Consort Yu is currently at Chen Mansion?"
Sun Senior Palace Lady nodded, her voice as faint as a mosquito’s, "Correct, from her words, it seems she plans to stay over tonight and asks you to arrange another time..."
"Stay over?!"
The Empress rose abruptly, causing her ample figure to shake.
"Your Majesty, please don’t be hasty; it might not be what you think."
Sun Senior Palace Lady tried to dissuade her, but the Empress would not listen, angrily biting her lip as she said, "Dark night, alone; what else could it be? That demoness, holding the rank of Imperial Concubine, dares act so shamelessly..."
"No, I cannot sit idly by and let her behave recklessly!"
"Prepare for departure, to Chen Mansion!"
"Your Majesty, calm down!" Sun Senior Palace Lady hurriedly stood in her way, anxiously saying, "Going like this rashly will cause a great stir, and it may not be good for Mr. Chen either!"
At these words, the Empress’s steps paused.
Indeed, Sun Senior Palace Lady made valid points; Yu Youhan could act without restraint, but she could not. It involved the Imperial Family’s reputation and would cause immeasurable impact on the Chen Family.
