I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 297

Chapter 297: Chapter 139: Empress Baby Kisses! Attack of the Little Thief! (6k)_2

Even if she opposed Chen Mo being with Zhu’er, given her sister’s temperament, she wouldn’t act so emotionally...

"Why does it feel a bit strange..."

...

The room was filled with steam.

Lin Jingzhu was drenched, her clothes clung tightly to her body, showcasing her exquisite curves.

Chen Mo slightly closed his eyes, as if in deep meditation. His palm was pressed against her back, channeling Qi Blood Power into her body, continuously washing away the chill from her Innate Essence.

The Empress sat opposite, arms crossed, her phoenix eyes fixed unblinkingly on him.

Lady Jin Yun surveyed the three, sensing an indescribable strangeness in the atmosphere.

A quarter of an hour later.

Chen Mo cut off the Blood Qi transmission.

After the fourth acupoint filled, both the concentration and quality of the Blood Qi greatly improved, making the expulsion of Chill Toxin more manageable. At this rate, Lin Jingzhu would soon be completely cured.

"Thank you, hubby~"

Lin Jingzhu smiled sweetly.

The Empress asked curiously: "What do you mean by ’hubby’?"

Lin Jingzhu blinked, "It’s a secret between Mr. Chen and me."

"..."

Not sure if it was an illusion, the Empress’s gaze seemed to grow colder.

Chen Mo shivered, feeling a prickling sensation on his back, realizing it wasn’t wise to stay longer. He stood up, saying: "That’s it for today. We’ll proceed with the next treatment in three days... Your Highness, Lady, I take my leave."

He cupped his hands in salute, ready to leave, but was stopped by Lady Jin Yun, who smiled warmly: "Young Master Chen, since it’s rare for you to visit, stay for a meal before you go. Zhu’er has been talking about you for days."

"Mother, don’t say that, I haven’t..."

"Hehe, I wonder who seems to have lost their soul since the Martial Arts Examination, doesn’t care for food or drink, and even murmurs Young Master Chen’s name in their dreams..."

"Mother!"

Lin Jingzhu stomped her foot in protest, and steam began to rise from her head again.

"Alright, alright, mother won’t say anymore," Lady Jin Yun stopped teasing and said to Chen Mo: "Young Master Chen won’t deny me this bit of face, right? If word gets out, others might say Lin Residence fails at hosting guests."

At this point, Chen Mo couldn’t refuse anymore and cautiously looked at the Empress.

The Empress, with a stern face, said coldly: "Lady Jin Yun invited you, why look at me?"

"Then I won’t refuse..."

"Hmph!"

"..."

Since the Empress couldn’t appear publicly, Lady Jin Yun did not organize a grand banquet, instead arranging a small gathering of four in the side hall with light wine and snacks.

Compared to the previous grand feast, this time it felt more warm and cozy, like a family dinner.

At the table, Lady Jin Yun urged the wine while probing discreetly.

For instance, how many female friends does Chen Mo have, whether the marriage agreement between the Chen Family and Shen Family still stands, what’s Miss Shen’s personality like, and if she’s prone to jealousy...

Having said that, she stood up and left, perhaps having drunk too much, her steps slightly wobbly.

Seeing this, Chen Mo took his cue to take his leave.

If they drank any further, Lady Jin Yun might have planned to have them engaged on the spot...

?

Following their departure, the atmosphere in the side hall quieted down.

Lady Jin Yun furrowed her eyebrows in thought.

"Sister was so strange today, like another person in front of Chen Mo..."

Recalling the Empress’s various unusual behaviors, along with her excessive attention and favoritism towards Chen Mo, an electrifying thought flashed in Jin Yun’s mind, an audacious notion surfaced.

Could it be that sister feels something for Chen Mo...

No, can’t be?!

Jin Yun was startled by her own thought, her throat turned dry as she turned to ask: "Zhu’er, last time you went to the palace, what did your aunt say to you? Was there any intimate interaction between her and Chen Mo?"

Lin Jingzhu had already intoxicated herself, her face resting on the table, grinning silly, "Mr. Chen praised me as an extraordinary woman... hehe... heheh..."

"..."

Lady Jin Yun helplessly rubbed her temples.

"I hope I’m overthinking."

"Sister shouldn’t be capable of such absurdity... right?"
