I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1013

Chapter 1013: Chapter 376: Is the Empress Remarrying? Chen Family Wife Competes for the Position!

"The theater over there has already been sealed. Earlier, the government officers went once, but it only seemed like a routine inquiry, just going through the motions," Li Yuan said.

Song Xuan immediately added, "I was originally in the teahouse spreading news, but then suddenly, the authorities rushed in, drove all the guests away, and ordered all teahouses, restaurants, and brothels in the city to close down for rectification starting today."

"They also posted a notice that anyone spreading rumors would be flogged fifty times and thrown into jail!"

Chen Mo frowned upon hearing this.

"Are they forcibly trying to silence us?"

"But something did happen. Even if the State Mansion is corrupt, they wouldn’t dare to be so blatant... Lu Shuyuan, I asked you to keep an eye on the inner city. Did you notice anything unusual?"

Lu Shuyuan replied, "Report to the master, I was originally keeping watch outside the government office when suddenly all officials, including Prefect Jiao Yu, gathered and rushed out of the city."

Chen Mo questioned, "You mean all the government officers in the State Mansion went out of the city?"

"That’s correct." Lu Shuyuan nodded, "Among them, there were many experts, so I didn’t dare to venture too close. I only vaguely heard something about a distinguished guest arriving, then hurried back to report."

Chen Mo’s eyes flickered, deep in thought.

Could it be that the Capital City sent an Imperial Envoy, and the State Mansion is worried about the situation escalating, which is why they’re eager to cover up the news?

But what rank of Imperial Envoy would require such a grand display?

"It seems the timing is about right. It’s also time to probe the government office for more information..."

"Hmm—"

At this moment, Little Butterfly groaned and slowly woke up.

She looked up at the group, and upon noticing Chen Mo, her expression changed from confusion to fear.

It’s this man who not only followed her to the Purple Cloud Temple but also exchanged blows with Daoist Xuanzhen, who is at least a Martial Arts Grandmaster!

Falling into his hands, there’s bound to be no favorable outcome!

"Who are you? What do you want?" Little Butterfly tried to sound fierce but was weak inside, "If you dare to harm me, Daoist Xuanzhen will never let you off!"
