I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1017

Chapter 1017: Chapter 378: The Rice Is Cooked, the Empress’s Resolve! Chaotic Scene Descends!

"Your Highness, what are you doing here?"

Chen Mo looked down at the beauty in his arms, and asked somewhat incredulously.

He didn’t expect the "baby" Chu Yanli mentioned was actually the Empress Baby?!

The Empress randomly rubbed her face with her hands, and with a flash of light, her appearance returned to normal.

Her fair oval face showed a faint blush, and her almond eyes sparkled with moisture as she softly said, "I wanted to see you, so I sneaked out of the palace..."

"..."

Chen Mo’s expression stiffened slightly.

She sneaked out of the palace?

Is this a joke!

This isn’t the Lin Residence a street away from the imperial palace, but thousands of miles away in the Southern Border!

Nantu State is located at the border of Great Yuan, full of dangerous mountains and rivers, constantly fraught with peril; not to mention the unresolved issue with the Gu God Sect, and now the Barbarian Tribe is involved... As the precious Empress, what if she comes to harm?

"This is simply absurd!"

Chen Mo gritted his teeth and said, "No doubt, this must be another one of Chu Yanli’s bad ideas. I’ll go find her to settle this!"

With that, he rolled up his sleeves and stormed off toward the public hall.

"Wait."

The Empress quickly grabbed him, explaining, "You’ve misunderstood. It was I who proposed to come here voluntarily. I only asked Li’er to act as a bodyguard... She was opposed to it, but had no choice as I pressed her, so she came along."

"Why?"

Chen Mo stopped, puzzled.

The Empress abandoned her court affairs to travel thousands of miles to the Southern Border just to see him?

He’s only here on official duty and would naturally return once it’s done, why create such a big scene?

The Empress showed a hint of resentment, pouting, "Isn’t it because of you? You’ve been out for so long without any news. What if you were ensnared by some demoness?"

"What demoness?" Chen Mo asked, bewildered.

"Still playing dumb at a time like this?" The Empress pinched the soft flesh at his waist, indignantly saying, "You claim to be in the Southern Border on official business, yet secretly meeting with Yu Youhan, thinking I wouldn’t know?"

?

Chen Mo became more confused.

The Consort indeed visited him once, but only stayed for a night before leaving; how could such a thing reach the Empress’s ear?

"Who did Your Highness hear this from?"

"Do I need to hear it from someone? I saw her with my own eyes!"

The Empress gritted her teeth and said irritably, "Disguising herself as a Tusi associate, using the pretense of official duties to seduce men, and having the audacity to call me childish, her face is thicker than a fortress wall!"

"Tusi... associate?"

Chen Mo stood frozen at the words.

The inexplicabilities all made sense now and he saw the light.

No wonder Mr. Xu always gave him a familiar feeling; no wonder whenever he got close to Li Yuan, she would always appear to interrupt; no wonder Ye Zi’e acted so deferentially, as if she were the superior...

Turns out Xu You is actually Her Majesty the Consort in disguise?!

Wait a minute, isn’t the name "Xu You" the protagonist in the forbidden book "Deep Palace Resentment"?
