I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 32

Chapter 32: Chapter 30: What Yu Youhan can give you, this palace can too!

The Empress spoke indifferently, her voice devoid of any emotion.

However, to Yan Peizhi's ears, it was as heavy as a thousand jins, crushing him so he couldn't stand straight!

Although the two factions were openly and secretly struggling for power and profit, heads bashed like dogs', the superficial obligations were still thoroughly observed, the ranks maintained without fault, upholding the basic order of the court.

Yet this term "rebel party" stripped away even the last shred of modesty!

It appeared that recent events had greatly displeased Her Majesty!

Yan Peizhi was also extremely frustrated.

He had never anticipated, not only had the Barbarian Slave case not blown over, but Chen Mo had managed to achieve such great merits.

His own failure was distressing enough, but the enemy's success was even more heartbreaking!

Comparisons were odious, like products, inferior ones must be discarded!

After several comparisons, his own incompetence was glaringly obvious!

"Your Highness..."

Yan Peizhi wanted to say more, but was interrupted by the Empress, "Lord Yan, as a pillar of the government, you have many duties, don't waste any more time here."

"I hope that next time you come, you can bring some good news to my palace."

With a few words, she dismissed him, seemingly without even the patience to hear him speak.

"This humble official takes his leave."

Yan Peizhi gloomily got up and walked out.

He intended to flatter, but instead, he shot himself in the foot, leaving himself battered and bruised...

Chen Mo...

Why was it always him?

Could this man truly be his nemesis?

...

After Yan Peizhi left, the hall lapsed into brief silence.

The Python Robe elder eunuch standing beside said softly, "Your Highness, aren't you being a bit too harsh on Lord Yan?"

These two issues, in essence, weren't that closely related to Yan Peizhi.

He just happened to be caught in the crossfire.

The Empress snorted coldly, "The Yan Family has recently been too close to the Prince Mansion, a sly old fox who turns with the wind, it's about time to give him a warning."

Speaking to this, she paused slightly, "But I also didn't expect that Chen Mo would have such capabilities... Chen Zhuo truly has a good son."

The elder eunuch replied, "This servant has made some inquiries; Chen Mo now holds high prestige in the Sky Scale Guard, not only has his strength skyrocketed, but his personality seems entirely different..."

"Sudden increase in power might be due to a fortunate encounter, but a person's nature surely doesn't change easily."

"With sharpness and courage, such a man is destined not to remain obscure."

"He must have been concealing his talents intentionally before."

The Empress shook her head, saying, "Unfortunately, he's chosen to forsake the light for the darkness, following that Demoness Yu Youhan."

The elder eunuch pursed his lips, choosing not to respond.

In the entire Imperial City, only the Empress dared to publicly call Yu Youhan a "Demoness"; he certainly didn't have the courage.

"So this time, in executing the Tenth Sky Demon, what are Your Highness's plans..."

"Of course, I will reward, and reward handsomely!"

"What Yu Youhan can offer him, I can offer too, and even more!"

"A murderous femme fatale who maintains loyalty through blood-cold maneuvers, how strong can that be?"

"To step back, even if we can't win him over, we can still sow discord among them... Given Yu Youhan's character, once suspicion arises, the charges stand..."

Speaking to this, the Empress seemed somewhat tired.

Her phoenix body leaned back into the chair, lazily stretching her waist, casting a graceful silhouette against the screen.

The elder eunuch stood with his head bowed, not daring to glance sideways.

"All those incompetents in the Three Divisions and Six Ministries, always requiring me to worry about everything."

"Huan'er, come massage my body a bit, I've been truly exhausted lately..."

...

Before the Imperial City Gate.

A handsome young man dismounted and strode forward.

The well-armed guards initially moved to stop him, but their expression suddenly changed upon seeing the Purple Phoenix Token in the man's hand, and they quickly kneeled on one knee to salute.

"No wonder the Empress has such authority."

Chen Mo shook his head in admiration, stepping into the Imperial City.

After returning from Tongling County, he didn't go to the Government with the others, but went directly to see the Empress in the Imperial Palace.

Reporting work was one aspect; subconsciously, he was also avoiding Li Yuan—

This woman had not only ideological issues, but physical problems as well!
