I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1272

Chapter 1272: Chapter 487: Confronting the Imperial Consort and Empress! Wu Lie Must Die!

Hearing Eunuch Jin’s words, Chen Mo’s heart sank slightly.

Chu Heng had perished and his Dao dissipated, Prince Yu was eight or nine out of ten already dead as well; now, other than the Princess, only the Crown Prince still carried the Chu Family’s blood.

And Wu Lie had already failed once; he would never miss another chance, and very likely had already made a move on the Crown Prince!

Thinking of that little fellow who had tugged at his sleeve, saying they would be best friends for life, the fist inside Chen Mo’s sleeve clenched tight.

"Wei Xuan said something right: the arrow is already on the string, it has to be loosed. With things as they are now, there’s nothing left to hesitate over!"

"Whether this road is easy or not, we have to walk it to find out!"

"It’s just that we still don’t know what Her Majesty the Consort and the Empress think about all this..."

The two of them followed the palace road toward the Inner Court; passing by Cangzhen Gate, they saw that there were still Xuan Armor Guards stationed before it, sealing Linqing Palace so tightly that not even water could pass through.

Chen Mo suddenly asked, "During this time, has the Food and Drink Supervisor sent any meals to the Eastern Royal Palace?"

Eunuch Jin replied, "The Crown Prince’s meals have always been handled separately by the Family Order Temple and are not under the Internal Affairs Office’s control. Moreover, the Crown Prince is currently in a coma and has no way to take meals."

Chen Mo asked again, "But those Palace Attendants still have to eat, don’t they?"

Eunuch Jin pondered briefly, then shook his head and said, "This one truly hasn’t paid attention. It does seem that in this period I haven’t seen anyone going in or out."

Chen Mo seemed lost in thought, then turned on his heel and walked straight over.

"Hey, Mr. Chen, where are you going?"

Eunuch Jin froze for a moment, then hurriedly quickened his pace to follow.

When Chen Mo was still several zhang from the main gate, a killing aura already locked onto him firmly.

"Stop!" A minor Commander came forward, his hand resting on the hilt at his waist, and said coldly, "The palace is under strict lockdown. Idlers, withdraw at once!"

"Do I look idle to you?" Chen Mo took out a string of Tokens from the Heavenly Profound Ring; they clinked as they knocked together. He rummaged for a moment, then produced a plaque engraved with the East Palace Seal. "I was personally appointed by the Crown Prince as his reading companion and may freely enter and exit. You dare block me—are you planning to defy orders?"

The Commander remained unmoved and said in a deep voice, "By His Majesty’s verbal decree, Linqing Palace is sealed and its gardens locked, the prohibitions are strict; any who trespass will be punished as traitors!"

"Even the Flying Phoenix Order doesn’t work?"

"Entry is forbidden!"

"I’m the future Prince Consort; I can’t even come see my dear nephew?"

"I said, entry is forbidden!"

"What if I insist on going in?"

"The crime is the same as treason; you may be executed on the spot!"
