Chapter 289: Chapter 136: The Empress’s Second Battle! The Empress Is Jealous! (6K)_3

Chen Mo walked towards Qianqing Gate, planning to visit Frozen Sky Palace on the way.

Just as he arrived at the palace gate, he spotted a familiar figure. Xu Qingyi was on tiptoe, looking around. Upon seeing Chen Mo, she immediately collected her expression, clasped her hands behind her back, and returned to her aloof demeanor.

"Director Xu, what are you doing here?" Chen Mo stepped forward and inquired.

"The Empress knew Hundred Household Officer Chen would come and asked me to wait here in advance."

Xu Qingyi’s clear eyes examined him, "Is your body any better?"

Chen Mo thumped his chest with resounding force, saying, "I’ve long since recovered; I’m as strong as a bull now... cough, cough!"

The force was a bit much, and he couldn’t help but cough a couple of times.

Though his injuries were no longer serious, his Qi-Blood was depleted, and his bones still felt slightly weak. It would get better once he refines the Xuanxue Guiyuan Pearl.

Xu Qingyi quickly grasped his wrist, feigning anger: "You always like to show off. Like on the martial arts stage the other day, being the Martial Arts Champion is just a title, why push yourself so hard..."

Chen Mo shook his head, "I’m not after fame or fortune, I just want to prove myself."

Winning or losing didn’t matter to him; he wasn’t afraid of losing.

But if Shi Yun wanted to force him to kneel in submission, he’d make sure Shi Yun paid the price, even if it meant being crushed into dust!

Xu Qingyi recalled what the Empress had said, seemingly understanding something. She bit her lip and softly said, "I know, men have their own ways of solving problems, but I still hope you can live well..."

Chen Mo blinked and replied with a teasing smile, "Could it be that Director Xu is worried about me?"

?!

Xu Qingyi’s face turned red, and she stammered, "Who, who is worried about you? I’m just concerned that if you die, you won’t be able to serve the Empress!"

Chen Mo pinched his chin with his fingers, "So many people serve the Empress, Director Xu seems particularly special towards me."

"No!" Xu Qingyi denied outright, "In my eyes, you’re just like everyone else!"

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow, "Saying that makes me feel cold-hearted, apart from me, who else would give you little pants to wear..."

"Chen Mo!!"

Her embarrassing history being exposed, Xu Qingyi’s face flushed, and she raised a hand intending to hit him. But remembering his injury, she finally stomped her foot angrily and turned to walk toward Frozen Sky Palace in exasperation.

"Annoyingly, every time he bullies me!"

Watching the swaying figure in white, Chen Mo’s lips curled slightly upward. Every time he teased this icy beauty, there was a unique pleasure...

Arriving at the palace doors, Xu Qingyi glared at him, refusing to acknowledge him, puffing up with anger as she left.

Chen Mo lifted his leg and stepped into the grand hall, crossed the palace corridor, and entered the inner chamber.

Only to see Yu Youhan dressed in a light cyan robe, a simple jade hairpin holding up her long hair, seated cross-legged on a meditation mat, her aura restrained, seemingly in cultivation.

He didn’t dare to disturb and stood silently waiting by the side.

As a result, he ended up waiting for an hour.

"Clearly, the Empress ordered Director Xu to fetch me, yet now she ignores people?"

Chen Mo pondered, could it be he stayed too long at Yangxin Palace, displeasing the Empress?

At this moment, Yu Youhan slightly opened her eyes and softly asked, "Was staying at Yangxin Palace comfortable?"

Indeed...

Chen Mo honestly replied, "With palace servants attending to my needs, clothes ready for wear and meals served, it was indeed quite comfortable..."

Watching the chill flash across her emerald eyes, Chen Mo continued, "But being unable to see the Empress left me feeling hollow, even the finest food lost its flavor, thus I hurriedly took my leave once my injuries stabilized."

"..."

Yu Youhan snorted coldly, "Smooth talker, from my perspective, you were clearly enjoying the pleasures of Shu."

She had assumed that after the Imperial Hospital Envoy treated Chen Mo, he would be sent back to Chen Mansion, but unexpectedly, he stayed at Yangxin Palace, and for three days, no less!

Linking to the Heavenly Shadow Guards adversary assassination of Shi Yun...

This kind of illogical action didn’t seem like the Empress’s style.

"I’ve never seen the Empress so attentive to anyone else, you must be quite special to her," Yu Youhan squinted as she spoke.

Chen Mo replied earnestly, "Regardless of how the Empress feels about me, the Empress’s position in my heart is forever irreplaceable!"

Yu Youhan snorted coldly, "You actually say these pleasing words just to appease me..."

Her supple chest heaved slightly, counting on her fingers like listing treasures: "The fiancée of the Shen family, the small commander of Sky Scale Guard, even managed to charm the Tianshu Pavilion’s chief! Is everyone in your heart irreplaceable? Ha, your heart really is vast!"
