I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1431

Chapter 1431: Chapter 556: The Third Dragon Blood Transformation Target! The Fire Seed of Life!

"Mr. Chen!"

Ji Jingyu hurried forward, bent down, and made a deep bow.

Chen Mo was taken aback for a moment, then quickly reached out to help him up, "Captain Ji, what is this?"

"Yesterday Tiandu City suffered a great calamity. If it weren’t for Mr. Chen’s intervention, none of the city’s people would have survived, and the era of Da Yuan would have ended here as well!" Ji Jingyu said seriously, "This life of mine was given by Mr. Chen. Such great kindness and virtue, I can never repay!"

Chen Mo smiled and said, "Captain Ji, you’re exaggerating. I should thank you instead. At the critical moment, thanks to you and your men guarding the palace, I was able to act without worries."

Ji Jingyu lowered his head and said, "It was simply my duty, nothing worth mentioning."

Chen Mo looked at the man before him, his eyes full of admiration.

Yesterday, Ji Jingyu not only arrived in time but also followed his instructions without any doubt, which was admirable.

With Sikong Che’s death, the balance of power between the two factions was disrupted. The court will surely face a major reorganization, and it’s time to form one’s own team.

Chen Mo pondered briefly and then said, "It’s been some time since Gao Yuheng’s unexpected death, and the position of commander of the Divine Strategy Army cannot remain vacant forever. In my opinion, Captain Ji’s virtue and position match the role, and given the opportunity, I will of course recommend you to the Empress."

!!

Upon hearing this, Ji Jingyu trembled slightly.

Although the words ’Captain’ and ’Commander’ differ by just one character, the difference is vast!

That would make him the top leader of the Divine Strategy Army, a pivotal position, and a key military official of the current court!

Given Chen Mo’s standing with the Empress, his words made this matter almost certain!

"Thank you, Mr. Chen!" Ji Jingyu cupped his hands again and said in a solemn voice, "From now on, I am yours. If you do not disdain me, I am willing to serve you loyally, like a faithful dog or horse!"

As a military officer born in the army, Ji Jingyu has always been forthright and never stoops to curry favor or engage in manipulation.

Over the years, despite the enticements from both factions, he remained indifferent. Otherwise, with his abilities and achievements, he would not have always been overshadowed by Gao Yuheng.

His sudden show of loyalty to Chen Mo was not just for career development but more out of admiration and respect.

Setting aside his past achievements, yesterday Chen Mo first stormed into the Golden Throne Hall and exposed the ’fake emperor’, then slew the Black Dragon, broke the Blood Evil Array, and displayed divine skills to save millions...

Each of these feats is enough to be immortalized in history, worthy of being honored in the Imperial Ancestral Temple!

Thinking back on his godlike prowess, Ji Jingyu still feels his blood boiling. Which general doesn’t wish to accomplish great deeds and become a minister revered like a dragon?

Now, with the throne vacant and the nation’s future uncertain, the future of the Great Yuan Dynasty hangs in the balance.

But one thing was clear to Ji Jingyu...

The future of this country certainly rests on Chen Mo!

"Ahem, Captain Ji, be cautious with your words. We are all serving the court, and if others hear, they might think I’m forming cliques for personal gain." Chen Mo cleared his throat and said.

Ji Jingyu realized and quickly nodded, "Mr. Chen is right, I misspoke earlier."

...

Octagonal palace lanterns hung high, illuminating the entire hall brightly.

In the bedroom, the Crown Prince lay quietly on the bed, his complexion pale, his eyes tightly shut.

Li Wanjun sat by the bedside, holding his wrist and infusing it with primordial qi, investigating carefully, her brow furrowed deeply, her expression grave.

"Li Yuanshi, how is it going? It’s been several hours, why hasn’t the Crown Prince woken up?" Fan Sijin asked anxiously from the side.

Li Wanjun released her primordial qi and shook her head, saying helplessly, "The Crown Prince’s body has been eroded by evil qi, deeply rooted, and difficult to remove. There’s nothing I can do."

The Crown Prince’s current condition is very similar to Lin Jingzhu’s, something not solvable by medical techniques.

And considering the Crown Prince’s young and frail body, he’s teetering on the edge. If the evil qi inside is disturbed, it would penetrate the heart meridian in no time, and not even an immortal could save him then.

Boom——

Fan Sijin was struck as if by lightning and wobbled unsteadily.

Although she was planted in the Eastern Royal Palace by Master Lv as an informant, over the years, she has personally looked after the Crown Prince as he grew, considering him as her own in her heart.

Having painstakingly outlasted the old emperor, thinking it was all finally over, only to find the Crown Prince may never wake up again?

She couldn’t accept this reality, stepped forward, tightly gripping Li Wanjun’s arm, and spoke hoarsely, "Li Yuanshi, you are a divine healer. If even you can’t do anything, then who can save Ning An?!"
