I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 527

Chapter 527: Chapter 206 Staying Overnight in the Sleeping Palace, Overstepping One’s Bounds! Empress: Am I About to Become the Little Thief’s Sister-in-Law?!_2

Her Majesty the Empress’s chest heaved as she gritted her teeth and said, "This matter concerns the reputation of the Imperial Family; how could it be treated as a joke? Besides... Chen Mo might not even be willing!"

Zhong Lihe remarked with some curiosity, "To be favored by the Princess is a blessing he’s accumulated over eight lifetimes; he’d probably wake up laughing in his sleep. How could he be unwilling?"

"Hmph, that may not be the case!"

"Chen Mo might not actually fancy Li’er with such a personality!"

The Empress gave a cold snort and said, "Moreover, Li’er was young back then; it was just a casual remark, nothing to be taken seriously."

"But..."

Zhong Lihe wanted to say more, but the Empress interrupted him, "Alright, don’t bring this up again in the future, you may leave now."

"Yes..."

Zhong Lihe dared not say more, bowed, and exited the hall.

The Empress looked at Chen Mo lying on the small couch, clenching her slender hand tightly, biting her lip.

"The matter with Zhu’er isn’t settled yet, and now Li’er is dragged into this... Chen Mo’s good looks and strong talent—if he truly catches her eye..."

"No way!"

"This palace will never allow such a thing to happen!"

...

...

Zhong Lihe walked out of the hall, still with a somewhat confused expression.

He felt that Her Majesty the Empress’s reaction just now was too extreme, as if her reverse scale had been touched...

But this is clearly a win-win situation...

He left the red-walled confines of the Inner Court along the palace path, when suddenly, a familiar voice reached his ears:

"Li He, why are you here?"

Zhong Lihe turned his head to look.

He saw Eunuch Jin, dressed in a blue satin sleeved shirt, standing with his hands behind his back, raising his eyebrows, "Aren’t you supposed to be sweeping the Heavenly Martial Arena? Why have you come to the palace?"

Uncharacteristically, Zhong Lihe didn’t retort, but solemnly asked, "You had Chen Mo deliver an empty Jade Scroll, was your actual purpose to test him on me?"

Eunuch Jin openly admitted, "If I’d told you directly, it would probably trigger your rebellious mindset... But just having him stand before you is enough. I’m sure with your keen eye, you can see his extraordinary nature..."

Zhong Lihe was silent for a moment, then lightly sighed, "I originally thought I had overestimated him enough, but it seems I still misjudged..."

"Hmm?"

Eunuch Jin asked puzzledly, "What happened?"

Zhong Lihe’s lips moved slightly, transmitting his voice directly to the ear.

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Jin’s expression turned rigid, shifting from puzzlement to shock, and finally to unbelievable joy.

"Military Dao Inheritance?!"

"Chen Mo... was recognized by the Xuan Su of Military Dao?!"

Even though he was mentally prepared, he never expected Chen Mo to achieve such a feat!

"After waiting for so many years, finally, there’s a glimpse of hope!"

"We must seize this opportunity!"

Eunuch Jin breathed heavily, his expression full of excitement.
