I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 508

Chapter 508: Chapter 201 The Empress Baby’s Initiative... "Little thief, am I beautiful?

The night was as dark as ink, enveloping the Imperial City.

In Zhao Hua Palace, the lights remained bright, with candlelight filtering through the sheer fabric shades, casting a slightly dim yellow glow that draped a gentle hue over the palace walls and corridors.

Behind the glazed screen, the Empress, dressed in a bright yellow palace gown, sat poised at the wide imperial desk, her head slightly bowed, focused on reviewing the mountain-like stacks of memorials before her.

"Your Majesty, it’s getting late, you should also rest," Sun Senior Palace Lady bent over, speaking softly.

"I am not tired," the Empress replied lightly without raising her head.

"But you haven’t rested well for several days. If this continues, your body won’t last..." Sun Senior Palace Lady said with a frown.

Ever since learning that Chen Mo was taken away by the Daoist Venerable, the Empress seemed to have returned to her previous state.

Sitting all night in Zhao Hua Palace handling state affairs, she would only take a brief rest when dawn broke, before continuing with the next day’s work... If this went on, Chen Mo might not return before Her Majesty’s body broke down!

"I am aware, you may all leave," the Empress spoke calmly, her tone carrying no trace of emotion.

"Yes..."

Seeing the situation, Sun Senior Palace Lady dared not say more, sighed quietly, and left the hall with the palace attendants.

The atmosphere in the palace was tranquil, so silent that a pin drop could be heard.

The Empress fixed her gaze on the memorials, but her eyes were blank and unfocused.

It’s not that she didn’t want to rest, but once she closed her eyes, she’d be reminded of the scenes of Chen Mo and the Daoist Venerable’s antics... tossing and turning, unable to sleep, she could only divert her attention by dealing with state affairs.

Delicate fingers tightly grasped the golden branch brush, her peach blossom eyes slightly dim, biting her lip as she murmured softly:

"Little thief, if you don’t come back soon, I won’t care about you anymore..."

Tap, tap, tap—

At this moment, a series of footsteps approached from afar.

The Empress, thinking Sun Senior Palace Lady had returned, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Didn’t you understand my words? What are you doing back here?"

The other person didn’t respond, directly coming up behind her, pressing firmly on her shoulders and neck.

"Hmm?"

The Empress sensed something amiss.

Sun Senior Palace Lady’s hands weren’t this large, nor this calm and forceful...

Realizing something, she turned abruptly to see a man in a black robe standing behind her, his handsome face wearing a faint smile.

"Little thief?!"

"When did you come back?"

Chen Mo replied, "Just now, while on duty in the palace, I saw the lights still on in Zhao Hua Palace and came to have a look... does Her Majesty seem to be in a bad mood?"

The Empress was both surprised and slightly resentful, "Where have you been these few days? Why did you return just now? Do you know that I..."

At this point, her words paused, and she didn’t continue speaking.

Chen Mo blinked, "Did Her Majesty miss me?"
