I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1059

Qi Yingrong sat on the chair, her face slightly pale, and whispered, "It seems the Qi Family has made more moves recently... Huai Yu, has something happened in the palace?"

Lv Huaiyu nodded, succinctly saying, "Consort Yu has broken into the inner palace, Qianji Palace has been destroyed, and Qi Lianshan is dead."

"What?!"

Lu Shuangge's pupils suddenly contracted!

Yu Youhan actually attacked Qianji Palace? Could she be planning a rebellion?!

Qi Yingrong was slightly stunned upon hearing this, then sighed, "Just as I expected, once I knew Qi Family had planted people within Xuan Armor Guard, I realized something was amiss. Their reach was too long, they've crossed the line, which was why I had you enter the palace to expose this matter proactively, yet it's still a step too late..."

Despite her words, her face showed no hint of sorrow, as if the deceased was merely an irrelevant person.

Lu Shuangge frowned, saying, "But even so, it's targeting the Empress, why would the Imperial Consort be so furious?"

Lv Huaiyu said solemnly, "If I'm not mistaken, the Empress might not be in the palace right now."

Lu Shuangge's heart skipped a beat.

Thinking back to how the Princess had mentioned a few days ago that she would go to Nantu State to handle some matters, she vaguely guessed something.

"If I'm correct, the Qi Family is likely targeting Chen Mo, after all, many have their sights set on him."

Lv Huaiyu raised his eyebrows, saying, "This shows that the Imperial Consort cares about the Chen Family not ordinarily, even willing to break ties with Wu Lie, disrupting the long-maintained balance."

Qi Yingrong looked up at Lv Huaiyu, her eyes filled with a complex expression, softly said, "Huai Yu, if Wu Lie really dies this time, could we be free..."

"Watch your words!"

Lv Huaiyu's expression shifted slightly, immediately interrupting her.

Qi Yingrong fell silent, shaking her head, saying no more.

"But there's one thing I can't comprehend." Lu Shuangge pinched her jaw, musing, "Given Consort Yu's formidable strength, why would the Emperor still bring her into the palace? Is this not inviting trouble?"

"Heh, do you think His Majesty had a choice?"

"Compared to waiting for her to breach the Imperial City and crush the throne, it's better to invite her in proactively."

Lv Huaiyu sneered and said, "With the identity of an Imperial Consort, she will be bound by national fate, at least not acting recklessly anymore, His Majesty also hopes to restrain her in this manner..."

The so-called imperial majesty is supported by violent apparatus.

When personal strength exceeds limits, then all rules become void!

For the Great Yuan Court, they can allow someone to transcend the mundane but absolutely cannot tolerate anyone threatening their rule.

Thus, Wu Lie would rather give her the title of Imperial Concubine, indulge her in disrupting the court, vying for power, all to ensure she acts within the "rules" instead of outright flipping the table.

"Moreover, it can dilute the Empress's power using Consort Yu, killing two birds with one stone."

"Afterwards, His Majesty drew the Qi Family into the game, balancing the Jiang Family to prevent them from becoming too dominant."

"And everything he did was to buy time."

Saying this, Lv Huaiyu seemed to think of something, a shadow passed through his eyes, "Yet now, the situation is gradually slipping out of control, Jiang Family and Qi Family are dissatisfied with the current state, probing the Emperor's limits, and Yu Youhan seems to have found a way to avoid the backlash of national fate..."

Lu Shuangge's face turned solemn, saying, "If it's truly as you said, Qi Lianshan's death is only the beginning!"

"With Consort Yu's disposition, she will certainly not leave any future troubles, what if she exterminates the Qi Family?"

"If kills, let her do it, it's fine with me."

Lv Huaiyu mocked with a laugh, dismissively saying, "As long as Yu Youhan doesn't target you all, what happens to others is none of my concern."

Qi Yingrong remained silent, simply holding his hand quietly.

Lu Shuangge was slightly lost in thought.

The Qi Family and Lv Family's fortunes were intertwined, deeply bound, was it so easy to abandon?

In her past impression, Lv Huaiyu was always someone who put interests first, cold-hearted and selfish, callous, willing to sacrifice anyone for his career, otherwise he wouldn't have reached a high official position in just a few years...

But upon knowing his mother was in danger, the way he hurriedly rushed back made her question this belief for the first time.

She had never seen such a panicked and helpless expression on her father's face.

"Are we really so important to you?"

"But if so, why did you act against the Xu Family back then?"

These words Lu Shuangge ultimately did not voice, lowering her head, remaining silent for a long time.
