I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1097

"Besides, it's already a waste if the clothes are not used..."

After finding a good excuse for herself, Ye Zi'e took a deep breath, forced herself to suppress the shame, and crawled towards the two people.

"Households Commander Li, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!"

"W-who asked for your help?!"

"We're all sisters, there's no need to be polite. Mr. Chen, if you want to electrocute someone, electrocute me!"

"..."

...

...

Tiandu City.

In the Golden Throne Hall, the ministers lined up in sequence, standing solemnly on both sides, the atmosphere incredibly tense.

The incident that happened in the palace a few days ago had already spread among the court ministers—

The entire Qianji Palace was destroyed by an unknown force, turned into ruins, and is currently undergoing emergency repairs, while the Emperor was forced to temporarily relocate to the fasting palace!

Although the Internal Affairs Office claimed externally that it was a dragon flip, everyone knew clearly that the Emperor's sleeping quarters are the most well-guarded area of the entire Imperial Palace, with layers of protection including the Heavenly Shadow Guards and arrays, so how could it be damaged by an earthquake?

Moreover, all other palace quarters remained unharmed, only Qianji Palace collapsed—could the earthquake be selective?

For a time, rumors of someone plotting regicide and usurpation were rampant.

Neither Her Majesty the Empress nor top court officials like Lv Huaiyu discussed it, further fueling suspicion and making the court atmosphere increasingly bizarre.

"If there is any matter, start the audience. If not, court is dismissed," Eunuch Jin said loudly.

The Six Ministers exchanged glances, and Yan Peizhi took the lead, cupping his hands and saying, "This minister heard that Her Majesty the Empress was unwell recently and could not attend the morning court. Is she feeling better now?"

"Lord Yan is considerate. This Empress merely caught a slight cold and is now recovered," came the Empress's calm voice from behind the bamboo curtain. At this moment, she was lazily leaning on the Phoenix Throne, with her left hand supporting her chin, playing with a gilded butterfly pearl hairpin, looking utterly bored.

Just returning from the Southern Border and having to attend a morning meeting, what a bother...

Really want to date the little thief...

"Then this minister is relieved. May Her Majesty, who rises early and retires late, take care of her phoenix body." Yan Peizhi offered a few words of flattery before shifting the topic to cautiously ask, "The sudden land fissure the other day caused severe tremors in the Imperial City, damaging His Majesty's sleeping quarters... May I boldly inquire, is His Majesty's sacred body well?"

The ministers bowed their heads, each with a different expression.

The most important thing right now is to confirm whether the Emperor had an accident!

After all, Emperor Wu Lie has long stayed secluded in the deep palace, never appearing in public; only a few close attendants know about his condition... To put it bluntly: if someone intentionally conceals it, even if he has passed away, no one might know!

"His Majesty..."

The Empress hadn't finished speaking when a sharp voice suddenly came from outside the hall:

"The Emperor is arriving—"
