I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 399

Chapter 399: Chapter 169: Drunk Heart Inquiry! Empress: "Little thief, I want a kiss~

"Your Highness..."

Outside the hall, Sun Senior Palace Lady’s voice suddenly came through.

?!

乂(ﾟДﾟ三ﾟДﾟ)乂

Their minds instantly cleared, and they quickly stepped back.

Chen Mo looked up, studying the mural on the dome, while the Empress lowered her head, her toes tracing the gaps in the tiles.

The atmosphere had a subtle hint of awkwardness.

Sun Senior Palace Lady briskly walked in, saying, "Your Highness, I’ve heard that Consort Yu has returned. Should we send someone to Frozen Sky Palace to inquire about the situation? Perhaps there will be news of Mr. Chen... Hmm?!"

Seeing the tall man standing before her, Sun Senior Palace Lady’s expression froze, her face full of shock.

"Mr. Chen!"

"Sun Senior Palace Lady, it’s been a long time."

Chen Mo nodded slightly in greeting.

"..."

Sun Senior Palace Lady’s throat moved, her voice struggling, "Mr. Chen, weren’t you swallowed by the Blood Tide?"

Having thought he had perished and left no remains in the Southern Border, it was hard for her to not feel unreal seeing him alive and well in the Imperial Palace.

Chen Mo’s mouth twitched, saying, "I was lucky and escaped."

Good news really travels slowly, but bad news spreads like wildfire.

It’s only been two days, and word of my ’death’ has already spread throughout the palace.

Sun Senior Palace Lady came back to her senses, carefully examining him to ensure he was unharmed, shaking her head and sighing:

"Mr. Chen truly has fortune favoring him, able to turn danger into safety in such a perilous situation... You know, Your Highness has been worried sick for you the past two days, unable to eat or sleep well..."

"I have not!"

The Empress quickly interrupted, "I’ve been eating heartily and sleeping well, not worried about him at all!"

Grumble~

Just as the words left her mouth, there was a "grumble" sound.

?

The air went silent for a moment.

The Empress’s pretty face turned bright red.

Ever since hearing about Chen Mo’s accident, she had been deeply worried, having no appetite for meals.

Now that her heart was at ease, hunger surged instantly, feeling as though her stomach would meet her backbone.

"At this season, it is the time when the cuckoo appears, heralding the start of farming, implying diligent work not to waste the spring light—truly a good omen." Sun Senior Palace Lady reacted swiftly, immediately smoothing over the situation.

Chen Mo silently gave a thumbs up.

Turning Her Highness’s stomach growl into a cuckoo’s call not only eased the awkwardness but also gave a subtle compliment...

Indeed, that’s why you can be a Senior Palace Lady.

Grumble~

Soon after, another grumble sounded.

This time it was unmistakably clear, obviously coming from the Empress.

The Empress clutched her flat belly, biting her lip, wishing she could find a hole to burrow into.
