Chapter 568: Chapter 219: Breaking the Bottom Line! The Unspeakable Empress Baby! _2

"So, you chose to strike in public?" the Empress said coldly.

"I don’t provoke others, but if provoked, I eradicate completely," Chen Mo replied solemnly. "Since the Zhou Family Case, Chu Heng has seen me as a thorn in his side, constantly attacking me openly and in secret. I had no choice but to retaliate."

"..."

The Empress was momentarily speechless.

Lin Jingzhu wrinkled her delicate nose and said, "Aunt, you can’t blame Mr. Chen for this; it was Chu Heng who initiated."

"That may be true, but where’s the evidence?" the Empress sighed softly, "This is only Chen Mo’s version of events. Naturally, I believe him, but how can I explain it to the ministers?"

"Chu Heng, being a Princely Heir, was seriously injured in public; certainly, some explanation must be given."

Lin Jingzhu clung to her arm, cautiously saying, "Aunt, surely you have a way, right? You are the Eastern Palace Empress, commanding all the ministers..."

"And what of it?" the Empress replied with a straight face, "Do you really think the court is entirely at my command?"

"Thankfully, you won; if anything had happened, what would I do?"

"It’s infuriating!"

Seeing the Empress grumble, Chen Mo’s heart softened, and he wrapped his arm around her slender but curvy waist, whispering, "Don’t worry. I’m careful; I won’t make you a widow."

"Bah! What nonsense are you talking now?"

The Empress’s face blushed, and she spat, "What widowhood? It’s so unpleasant... I’m the Empress, not your wife!"

Chen Mo gently stroked her waist and bit her white, tender earlobe, "Your Highness has kissed me and organized team-building; you can’t deny it now, can you?"

"..."

Feeling weak from the tingling sensation, the Empress wanted to push this little thief away but couldn’t summon the strength.
