I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1263

Chapter 1263: Chapter 482: Three Women Gather! Brought a Princess Home! (Part 2)

Because he may very well be a figure from the same era as No Desire Buddha!

"Huff—"

At this moment, Chu Yanli staggered slightly.

The light of the Heavenly Observation Mirror flickered uncertainly, and the darkness spread again.

"I can’t hold on any longer, give me the thing first." Chu Yanli said urgently.

Chen Mo handed the Image Stone back to her, and she raised her hand to throw it into the vortex, which then sealed shut completely and returned to its original inconspicuous appearance.

"Remember, once you’ve left the Observatory, don’t mention this to anyone. Although Wu Lie is missing, his spies are scattered in every shadow in the Capital City, any movement might bring unexpected changes..."

Chu Yanli’s chest heaved, her long dress soaked with sweat.

Her body had not recovered initially, and after enduring for so long, she was severely exhausted.

Seeing her unsteady stance, Chen Mo reached out to support her and said, "I’ll escort you back to the palace first."

Chu Yanli bit her lip and said, "The palace is too cold and deserted, I don’t want to go back..."

Chen Mo frowned slightly. Wasn’t this woman the one who preferred solitude, with not a single palace attendant around her on ordinary days? Why the sudden change?

"Should I have Lu Shuangge take you to Lu Mansion for a night’s stay?"

"No, just seeing that old fool Lv Huaiyu annoys me. If it weren’t for his inaction, the Xu Family would not have fallen back then..."

"What should we do then?"

"How about... going to your place?"

???

Chen Mo looked puzzled, "What did you say? To my place?"

Chu Yanli’s cheeks subtly flushed as she said, "We’ve known each other for so long, and have been through life and death together, can’t I visit your place? Isn’t that being a bit stingy?"

Chen Mo furrowed his brow and said, "It’s not about being stingy or not, you are, after all, a princess. How does it look to go to a foreign minister’s house in the middle of the night?"

Chu Yanli said softly, "Now you’re talking about rules. What were you thinking when you slept with the Empress?"

"..."

Chen Mo’s mouth twitched, "Is that even the same thing?"

"Why isn’t it the same?" Chu Yanli muttered discontentedly, "You sleep with the Emperor’s wife whenever you feel like it, but when it’s the Emperor’s sister, you’re all about propriety and keeping distances? Isn’t that double standards?"

Helplessly, Chen Mo rubbed his brow.

Although he knew this reasoning was flawed, he found himself momentarily unable to refute it.

Seeing him silent, Chu Yanli’s expression turned somewhat lonely, she broke free from his grasp, and said coldly, "Forget it, you go ahead, don’t mind me."

"Then I’ll call Lu Shuangge to come over."

Chen Mo hadn’t walked more than two steps when he heard a "thud" behind him; turning, he saw Chu Yanli had fallen to the ground.

"Stop pretending, such tricks won’t work on me..."

"Hey, that’s enough, I’m really leaving now?"

He waited for a while but there was no movement.

He saw her eyes closed tightly, her breathing weak, seemingly truly passed out.

Chen Mo approached and carefully checked her condition, finding golden scales spreading across her collarbone again, severe internal damage, internal meridians tangled into a mess, and her Primordial Qi almost completely drained.

With such injuries, anyone else would have been dead.

Chu Yanli managed to endure till now, never uttering a word; she could be recognized as the legendary Blood Locking King.

"Forget it, let’s consider it for the Empress’s sake."

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Mo decided to lift her up by the waist and walked toward the entrance.

As he opened the bronze door, Lu Shuangge, stationed outside, was stunned upon witnessing this.

"Mr. Chen, what is this... what happened to Her Highness?!"

Chen Mo replied in a deep voice, "Her body has long been overwhelmed by Dragon Qi and is now on the verge of collapsing; if not treated immediately, she could die at any moment."

Lu Shuangge immediately turned pale with fright.

She knew the Princess’s health was poor, but she hadn’t imagined it was critically severe!

"How about calling the hospital director, Li Yuanshi from the Imperial Hospital?"

"It’s of no use, even a Medical Saint would be helpless against Dragon Qi."

Chen Mo said, "But you needn’t worry too much, I have the means to heal her, I’ll take her to Chen Mansion for recovery treatment first, and inform you once her condition stabilizes."

In a panic, Lu Shuangge nodded instinctively, "Then please, Mr. Chen, ensure Her Highness’s safety!"

"Rest assured, wait for my news." With those words, Chen Mo’s form disappeared suddenly.

Silence returned to the atmosphere.
