I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1282

Chapter 1282: Chapter 492: "Your Majesty the Empress, Are You Willing to Be My Slave?

"What are you doing here?"

"Hmm?"

Xu Qingyi turned her head at the sound and was instantly stunned.

The palace doors opened, revealing the Empress and Chen Mo stepping out one after the other.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Sun Senior Palace Lady breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Xu Qingyi with a face full of confusion, "Director Xu, didn’t you tell me Her Majesty the Empress was not in the palace? What’s going on here?"

"She indeed wasn’t here just now..."

Xu Qingyi was a bit bewildered at this moment.

She had searched all over and hadn’t seen a shadow of anyone, how did the two of them suddenly appear out of nowhere in the blink of an eye?

"Cough, cough." The Empress cleared her throat and said, "Just now, I felt suffocated in my chest, so I went for a walk in the back garden to refresh myself and vaguely heard some commotion from the direction of the Eastern Royal Palace... Sun Senior Palace Lady, what is going on here?"

Sun Senior Palace Lady’s expression turned serious, and she said in a solemn voice: "Returning to Your Majesty, there was a sudden earthquake in the palace, several palace buildings were damaged, it felt like it was caused deliberately!"

This "earthquake" was confined between Linqing Palace and the Internal Affairs Office, the scope was terribly precise, and it came and went so suddenly, it’s hard not to overthink.

The Empress remained noncommittal, asking: "Were there any casualties?"

Sun Senior Palace Lady shook her head and said: "Only a few palace attendants were injured by falling bricks, but it’s not serious..."

At this point, she paused slightly and whispered: "What’s strange is that even after such an event, the Eastern Royal Palace remains heavily guarded, prohibiting anyone from approaching, it’s unclear what the situation with the Crown Prince is."

The Empress’ gaze deepened, saying: "Have the Director of Works cooperate with the Internal Affairs Office to handle post-disaster measures, outwardly declare it an omen of divine punishment, and notify the Clearing Official Department to prepare for rituals."

"Yes." Sun Senior Palace Lady nodded in response, feeling somewhat strange, given Her Majesty’s personality, she ought to pursue the matter thoroughly, yet now she’s showing complete indifference to the issue, it seems she’s trying to minimize the situation.

"Will Your Majesty be staying at Frozen Sky Palace tonight?" Sun Senior Palace Lady inquired.

"No, take me to Xuanqing Pool, I want to bathe and refresh myself." The Empress shook her head, having endured such treacherous twists and turns, she now only wished to soak in a bath and relax.

Soon, the royal palanquin stopped in front of the palace gates.

The Empress lifted her leg to board the palanquin, sat by the window, lifted the curtain and glanced at Chen Mo without saying more.

Chen Mo blinked knowingly.

The Empress slightly reddened her cheeks, lowered the curtain, and cleared her throat: "Let’s go."

"Lift the palanquin."

With Sun Senior Palace Lady’s escort, the royal palanquin rose into the air, smoothly leaving the palace premises.

Chen Mo watched as the Empress departed, turned his head, and found Xu Qingyi staring directly at him, her eyes full of contemplation and inquiry, as if trying to discern something from him.
