I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 10

Chapter 10: Chapter 10: Entering the Palace, a Noble Lady Seeks Danger!

"Empress."

A female officer entered the palace, bowed her head and said, "We have investigated clearly, the Oiran is indeed one of the Moon Brilliance Sect's Remnants, and had infiltrated the Imperial Music Bureau a year ago."

"The Sky Scale Guard has been searching day and night within the city but has not found any trace of her; it seems she has already fled Tiandu City."

"As for the box sent by Lady Chen, the residue therein is the Heart Devouring Poisonous Insect..."

"Heh."

Yu Youhan gave a cold laugh, "To think she's fallen in with the Gu God Sect, Ji Lianxing is really regressing the more she lives."

The female officer was somewhat puzzled.

If Gu Manzhi had fled, why leave this item behind?

The box even bore the imprint of the waning moon, as if she was afraid others wouldn't know her identity.

Yu Youhan spoke out, "That Chen Mo..."

The female officer, understanding the cue, said, "It is said that after severely wounding Gu Manzhi, Chen Mo also suffered a great loss to his Primordial Qi and has been recuperating in his residence for the past few days."

Yu Youhan nodded, "For uprooting a mole, he has merit and should be rewarded."

The female officer said, "Lady Chen said that alleviating the worry of the Empress is her duty, and there is no need for any reward."

"She might not want it, but this palace cannot not give it."

Yu Youhan said indifferently.

Clear division of reward and punishment, to exercise both kindness and authority, is the way to govern subordinates.

Not to mention, the Chen Family is like her right-hand support; she has always been generous to those who are useful to her.

"Since He Yuzhi does not want it, then let Chen Mo enter the palace."

"Yes."

The female officer bowed and withdrew.

...

Chen Mansion.

In the dining hall, the table was filled with sumptuous dishes, and the aroma was tempting.

Shen Zhixia was burying her head in her meal, her chopsticks almost creating afterimages.

Originally, she wanted to leave after fighting with Chen Mo, but it just so happened that Chen Zhuo returned and insisted on having her stay for the meal.

Although Shen Zhixia always had a good appetite, she wouldn't be so rude in front of elders.

But thinking about what had just happened, she felt flustered and uneasy, like sitting on pins and needles, and could only mask her anxiety by eating.

"Eat more, if it's not enough, I'll have the kitchen prepare more."

Chen Zhuo said with a smile.

The steward had already told him the general situation.

A house that is destroyed can be rebuilt, alchemy pills that are gone can be refined again, but if a daughter-in-law runs away, it would be very difficult to find one as satisfactory as her!

"Mo'er, you've actually broken through to Sixth-rank?"

Despite the evidence before her eyes, He Yuzhi still found it hard to believe.

What does being a Twenty-year-old Sixth-rank Martial Artist imply?

It's enough to rank in the top ten of the Cloud Top Ranking, indeed a top-notch prodigy!

First Sword Technique Mastery, then a breakthrough in realm; one surprise after another made it feel all too surreal.

"It is often said that without destruction there is no construction, the battle at the brink of life and death benefited me a lot and deepened my understanding of the Cultivation Technique."

"With the help of Uncle Fu, I was lucky to have the breakthrough."

Chen Mo paused in his speech, the corners of his mouth smiling as he said, "By the way, I also have to thank Miss Shen for helping me open up my Qi-Blood channels, expelling the remaining medicine strength..."

"Cough cough!"

Shen Zhixia almost choked, her face turning red.

"I'm, I'm full, you all enjoy your meal..."

After saying that, she put down her bowl and chopsticks, and fled in a panic.

He Yuzhi, looking at her figure, shook her head and said, "This girl is good in all aspects, but she is just too thin-skinned."

Chen Zhuo smirked coldly, "Is it possible that it is this child who is too thick-skinned?"

Chen Mo: "..."

It seems like he can't go a day without bickering with him...

At this moment, the steward Chen Fu hurried in, "Master, Madam, there are people from the palace here!"

"Hmm?"

Everyone hurried to their feet and walked out of the dining hall, coming to the main gate.

A purple palanquin was parked in front of the Chen Mansion, and a female officer in a white robe stood with hands hanging down.

Seeing Chen Mo come out, the female officer reached out to lift the curtains of the palanquin.

"Young Master Chen, the Empress summons you."

"The Empress wants to see me?"

Chen Mo's heart skipped a beat.

It's finally happening!
