I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 274

Chapter 274: Chapter 132: Staying Overnight at Yangxin Palace! The Empress Wants a Hug! (6K)_4

The Empress bit her lips lightly.

Yes, why would Chen Mo go to such lengths?

If he cared about the title of Martial Arts Champion, he wouldn’t have been late at the start, almost missing the examination entirely.

If it’s not for fame, there’s only one explanation—

For her.

Because of a promise she made, he disregarded his own life!

[I’m not that noble, but once I promise something to someone, I’ll uphold it even if it costs my life!]

The deep and determined voice seemed to still echo in her ears; the Empress’s gaze was somewhat dazed, and she seemed to faintly see that blood-stained yet extremely radiant smiling face once more.

Previously, under the effects of the Heart-Seeking Incense, Chen Mo had expressed his feelings to her.

But that only represented his heart’s truth, not necessarily that he could match his actions to his words. Even those with ambition may hesitate when facing confrontation.

Faced with life and death, how many can truly hold steadfast?

Yet Chen Mo proved with his actions that his love was unwavering and intense, steadfast even if he were to be crushed!

"One day, will you openly stand by my side..."

Thump—

The Empress’s heart skipped a beat.

An indescribable feeling spread through her.

The accumulated anger and embarrassment from before mingled together, like warm water constantly flowing into her heart, almost overflowing.

"Annoying little thief..."

"Your Highness?"

Suddenly, Sun Senior Palace Lady’s voice sounded.

The Empress snapped back to reality, her expression somewhat unnatural, "Why didn’t you knock before entering?"

Sun Senior Palace Lady whispered, "I did knock, but you didn’t seem to hear..."

...

The Empress cleared her throat and asked, "Is everything taken care of?"

Sun Senior Palace Lady replied, "The Heavenly Shadow Guards found Shi Yun, but he temporarily escaped using the power of the Buddha Bone, and then Consort Yu intervened, making it difficult for the guards to pursue..."

The Empress’s brows furrowed slightly and said, "Since Yu Youhan personally intervened, Shi Yun is surely doomed, but with her nature, she probably won’t handle it perfectly."

Sun Senior Palace Lady nodded and said, "Shi Yun’s body was found 300 miles outside Tiandu City, already turned into a pool of mud, while the martial monk accompanying him has gone missing."

"Yu Youhan did this on purpose, she’s signaling defiance to Wuwan Temple."

The Empress’s expression was somewhat helpless as she sighed, "Although she’s the one who killed him, Shi Yun was here for the Martial Arts Examination. Ultimately, I’ll be blamed; that demoness is truly sly..."

Sun Senior Palace Lady asked, "Do we still need to pursue that martial monk?"

The Empress shook her head, "No need, with the Buddha Bone in hand, he’s probably nearing the Western Regions by now. Moreover, Shi Yun’s remains are gone, which already explains everything; whether there’s a witness doesn’t matter."

Sun Senior Palace Lady worriedly said, "What if Wuwan Temple investigates..."

The Empress’s phoenix eyes flashed coldly, her voice icy and sharp, "What then? Hmph, if they have the guts, let them try Tiandu City. I want to see what those bald monks can stir up!"

Sun Senior Palace Lady looked shocked.

Though the Three Saints Sect was a thorn in Her Highness’s side, from a strategic perspective, stability was always prioritized; rarely had she been so aggressive...
