I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1288

Chapter 1288: Chapter 495: The Jealous Empress! I Want to Cultivate Too!

Zhuang Jingming’s face was as pale as paper, his legs forcibly broken, the intense pain nearly sending him into a faint.

Yet at this moment, he couldn’t spare any attention to his injuries, his heart already filled with panic and shock—

Why?

Why did Yu Youhan dare to attack him?!

As one of the core officials of the Great Yuan Dynasty’s power, Zhuang Jingming knew many untold secrets.

Back then, Wu Lie knew Yu Youhan was ambitious and scheming, yet he still agreed to let her enter the palace. This act seemed like inviting a wolf into the house, but in reality, it was a balanced decision considering the pros and cons.

In the face of absolute power, the authority of the Imperial Power has become a mere formality. To limit such a strongest individual, she must be drawn into the game rules.

[Unjustly occupying the position, will inevitably suffer backlash.]

Under this condition, Yu Youhan could only plot honestly to seize the nation’s fortune.

Once an Ultimate Venerable gives up cultivation and starts researching power strategies, they are no longer a threat to the Imperial Family, and can also balance the Empress and Chu Yanli. It could be said to kill three birds with one stone.

Indeed, this was the case.

Despite Yu Youhan’s notorious reputation, top sects were eradicated upon command, yet she never directly targeted officials in the court, let alone notable figures like Zhuang Jingming or Gao Yuheng. She dared not touch them, as any slight mistake would lead to ruin.

But now, Yu Youhan’s attitude had given Zhuang Jingming a heavy blow!

"How can you... dare..." He looked incredulously at the woman before him.

Yu Youhan casually replied, "Mr. Zhuang, the era has changed. Do you think I would still be as restrained as before? Cherish the chance to speak now; your time is running out."

Zhuang Jingming clenched his teeth, his thoughts racing.

Is this woman serious, or just bluffing?

If she truly no longer fears the backlash of national fortune, then His Majesty wouldn’t have no reaction, unless...

Knock knock knock—

At this moment, the door was knocked.

Outside, a woman’s voice was heard: "Sir, it’s getting late. Has the meeting ended?"

Looking at Yu Youhan’s amused expression, Zhuang Jingming’s throat tightened, and he spoke hoarsely, "I need to have a long talk overnight with Mr. Gao, all of you leave, don’t guard at the door."

The woman seemingly noticed nothing amiss and replied, "Yes, this servant retires."

Soon, footsteps faded away.

Yu Youhan sighed, shaking her head, "Mr. Zhuang, was this necessary? Wasting so many lives..."

Whoosh—

The next moment, the wind suddenly picked up.

The candle lights were extinguished, and the hall fell into darkness.

In the darkness, streams of eerie light flashed by, an unmatchable murderous intent firmly locked onto Yu Youhan!

"Sir is in danger!"

"Kill her!"
