I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 463

Chapter 463: Chapter 187 Empress, You Smell So Good! Chen Mo: ’I like the Empress the most!

Through the two half-opened floor-length lattice doors, a figure in a plain long dress stood by the railing. The breeze lifted the hem of the skirt, revealing calves more delicate than silk, resembling a camellia flower swaying in the wind.

"Your servant greets the Empress." Chen Mo bowed and said.

Yu Youhan had her back to him, seemingly oblivious.

Chen Mo hesitated slightly, then stepped forward to her side.

He glanced at her stunning profile, then followed her gaze to look into the distance, capturing almost the entire Imperial Palace.

The vermillion palace walls stretched endlessly, dividing the palace from the outside world. The glazed tiles shimmered with brilliant colors under the sunlight, and the layers of palatial complexes extended forward along the central axis, with flying eaves, interlinked brackets, painted beams, and carved structures.

Only from this angle can one truly feel the grandeur and weight of Imperial Power.

Chen Mo didn’t speak either, just stood quietly beside her.

After a long time, Yu Youhan spoke softly, "Do you think the Imperial Palace is beautiful?"

Chen Mo nodded and said, "It’s beautiful."

Yu Youhan asked again, "Would you be willing to live here for your entire life?"

Chen Mo shook his head and said, "I would not."

"Why?" Yu Youhan raised an eyebrow and asked.

Chen Mo smiled and replied, "I am a worldly man, and although the palace is full of luxurious clothing and abundant jade, it is too desolate, lacking some warmth of life... In my eyes, it is merely a beautifully decorated gilded cage."

Yu Youhan glanced at him, "Are you implying that I am a caged bird?"

Chen Mo hastily replied, "The Empress misunderstood, I absolutely did not mean that. The Empress is a Qingluan soaring the skies, just temporarily resting here."

Seeing his frightened look, a hint of a smile flashed in Yu Youhan’s eyes, but she remained expressionless and said, "If I am a Qingluan, then what is the Empress?"

"..."

Chen Mo’s throat moved slightly, and he whispered, "The Empress holds a noble status, she should be considered a phoenix..."

Yu Youhan’s azure eyes stared fixedly at him, "Then which do you think is better, Qingluan or phoenix?"

"Of course, Qingluan!" Chen Mo answered without hesitation, "I like Qingluan the most!"

"..."

Yu Youhan turned her elegant head away and snorted coldly, "Who said I need your liking? I don’t care at all."

"Hm?"

Chen Mo hadn’t responded yet when he saw Her Majesty the Consort turned and sat on the rattan chair, legs crossed, extending an exquisite foot to him.

"Why are you still standing there?" Seeing no action from him, Yu Youhan frowned.

Chen Mo snapped out of it, squatted down, and held the exquisite foot in his hand, carefully saying, "The Empress is not angry?"

"Why should I be angry?" Yu Youhan replied with a calm tone, showing no signs of emotion.

Chen Mo said, "Then why did the Empress send Households Commander Ye to the border?"

"It’s my prerogative, do you have a say?" Yu Youhan retorted coldly.

"..."

Indeed, still angry!

Chen Mo hesitated for a moment, then stood up and sat beside the Empress.

He lifted her slender legs, placed them on his knee, and gently massaged her calves.

Yu Youhan’s body trembled slightly, and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks, "What are you doing?"

Chen Mo smiled and said, "It’s easier this way..."

This rattan chair was spacious enough for one person, but cramped with two.

The Empress was sitting sideways, her long dress outlining a graceful curve, the arc visible along her bent knee, and through the thin white skirt, one could feel the sleekness and delicacy.

"Your servant entered the palace this time with matters to report to the Empress." Chen Mo said while massaging her calves.

"What matters?"

Seeing he didn’t overstep, Yu Youhan gradually relaxed her body, curling up on the chair like a lazy Persian cat.
