I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1142

"Anyway, with the protection of Her Majesty the Consort, I'm not afraid," Chen Mo said seriously, holding the exquisite black silk foot. "Besides, doesn't this mean we can rightfully be together?"

Yu Youhan crossed her arms and snorted coldly, "It sounds nice, but I bet you're thinking about the Empress, aren't you?"

"Her Majesty is always the most special presence in my heart, irreplaceable by anyone," Chen Mo shook his head, speaking sincerely.

Looking into those deep eyes, Yu Youhan's heart skipped a beat.

Although she had heard him say such affectionate words more than once, she still felt shy and delighted.

"Speaking of rebellion..."

"I have never seriously considered this problem before."

"You are imbued with Dragon Qi and bear the fate of the nation. Perhaps you truly have a chance to ascend the throne."

Yu Youhan pinched her chin with delicate fingers, murmuring to herself, "By then, I shall be the Empress, and Jiang Yuchan can be a concubine. Every morning, she would kneel in respect before me. If she's disobedient, I'll throw her into the cold palace and see what she can stir up..."

"..."

Chen Mo's mouth twitched slightly.

He was just speaking in jest; why did Her Majesty seem to take it seriously?

Regardless of how difficult this path was, even becoming Emperor might not bring happiness.

The complex affairs of state alone could crush a person. Not only would one have to balance the court, but also attend to the people's livelihood, or risk becoming a king who brings ruin to the nation and leaves a notorious legacy.

Chen Mo believed he did not possess such abilities, nor did he wish to spend his life buried in endless memorials. He only wanted to spend his years with someone he loved, drunk and watching the chaos of the world with laughter.

Of course, achieving this wasn't easy; it required sufficient strength, power, and status as support.

Who would have thought the women around him would all be so formidable...

"Never mind, let's just take it one step at a time,"

Chen Mo shook his head silently.

He was already caught in the whirlpool, dragged along by the tide, with little control over many things, so thinking too much was meaningless.

Meanwhile, Yu Youhan was still pondering how to manage the harem when a sudden heat came from her wrist.

Then, a red ribbon suddenly appeared, binding her hands firmly, with the other end tied to the bedpost.

"Hmm?"

Yu Youhan asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

"Naturally, to massage you, Your Majesty," Chen Mo's hand glided over her bent leg, lifting her skirt and gently massaging along the texture of her skin, "I just mentioned catching your phoenix tendons, and we've just begun."

"Mmm—"

Yu Youhan's body twisted, a suppressed whimper escaping her lips.

The slightly rough palm rubbing against her skin brought an indescribable sensation, leaving her a little flustered.

With her hands bound, unable to move, the feeling intensified, her toes curling involuntarily, legs straightened, and a rosy blush spreading from her ears to her collarbone.

"A-all right, stop already..." Yu Youhan's gaze turned dreamy, losing focus gradually.

Amidst it all, she caught a faint floral fragrance, and Chen Mo's lips curled, saying with a smile, "Seems like Her Majesty is ready?"

Tear—

The black stockings were ripped open roughly.

Soon, a wave of heat surged through her, Yu Youhan's breath hitched, looking tense, her delicate hands instinctively clenching the bedsheets.

At that moment, Chen Mo abruptly halted his movements.

Yu Youhan's cheeks were flushed, her voice trembling, "What's wrong?"

Chen Mo turned his head to look outside the courtyard gate, saying, "Wait a minute, it seems someone's coming..."

...

...

"Zhixia, are you really going to see Consort Yu?"

Outside the courtyard, Ling Ningzhi held onto Shen Zhixia's arm, advising, "You've seen that consort's temper, if she gets offended, you might end up in real trouble..."

Shen Zhixia clenched her fists, looking determined as if heading to the execution ground, "Whether I confront it or avoid it, it's all the same. Both the Shen Family and Chen Family serve the Consort. If I want to be with my brother, I must pass her test."

"But this isn't as simple as you think..."

Ling Ningzhi tried to persuade her, but Shen Zhixia had already pushed open the door and walked inside.

As they stepped into the courtyard, they saw Ji Hongxiu in a white Daoist robe quietly sitting on a stone chair.

"Master?" Ling Ningzhi was surprised, "Why are you here?"

"Yu Youhan is capricious and doesn't follow conventions; she is extremely dangerous. I must stay here to prevent any unexpected events," Ji Hongxiu certainly couldn't admit she had been eavesdropping at the door earlier, so she asked, "What brings you two over?"
