I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1051

"I didn't plan on hiding this from Your Highness, but it's best not to let the Princess know for now. It's not that I don't trust her, but given her temperament, she might ruin my plans."

Chen Mo narrated everything that had transpired previously.

The Empress's gaze grew colder, her bright oval face covered in frost.

She had initially thought the other party was merely transporting Barbarian Slaves, but now it seemed they also intended to kill Chen Mo?!

"According to Qi Ye, the Qi Family has always secretly supported Chu Heng. Whether it's the Barbarian Slaves or the Red Sand Mine, they have their fingerprints all over it. And their purpose for doing this is quite simple..."

"It's to reverse the Dragon Vein and infuse Dragon Qi into the Qi Family's lineage."

Throughout the entire course of history, regardless of how strong a dynasty might be, it cannot escape the cycle of chaos and decline.

Extremes meet, prosperity ends in decline—this aligns with the fundamental truth of the Heavenly Dao.

This applies to dynasties, and equally to noble families.

As one of the last surviving four prominent families of today, having weathered the rise and fall of the ages, many things are now seen clearly.

Those once immensely powerful, prestigious families eventually crumbled without exception, disappearing into oblivion.

Therefore, they styled themselves as the "Hidden Clan," believing that as long as they stay behind the scenes, away from the world, they could escape the cycles of the Heavenly Dao and remain eternal.

In fact, this method proved effective; otherwise, the four Hidden Clans would not have persisted till this day.

But soon, the flaws became apparent—

As the clans grew increasingly large and bloated, they began to lose control. After all, not everyone was willing to stay hidden in darkness forever. They started recklessly interfering in state affairs and greedily seizing benefits, leading the families into a stage of wild growth.

The culmination of prosperity inevitably leads to decline. Driven by a sense of crisis, the head patriarchs began looking for ways to turn the situation around.

The Qi Family's strategy was quite simple—

By binding the fortunes of the family with the trends of heaven and earth, they naturally remove themselves from the cage, becoming eternal and shining alongside the sun and moon.
