I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 571

Chapter 571: Chapter 220: The Empress Baby’s Night Raid! Caught by Arrest Officer Lin?!_2

"Auntie, what were you all talking about just now?" Lin Jingzhu sat beside the Empress, her long-standing investigative instincts acutely sensing something unusual.

The body was tense, breathing slightly rapid, with a faint blush on her face and lips glistening and moist...

Could it be freshly applied rouge?

Putting on makeup so late at night, Auntie really is too vain.

"Nothing much. After all, with such a major incident, I need to understand the causes and effects to formulate a better strategy," the Empress answered calmly.

Lin Jingzhu smiled upon hearing this, "Auntie, have you decided to help Mr. Chen?"

"I always stand by what is right, not familial ties. If it is truly as Chen Mo claims, and if Chu Heng has committed a grave crime, I will definitely get to the bottom of this," the Empress said with her eyes slightly downcast. "However, Prince Yu is still a member of the Imperial Family, not so easy to deal with. Some people in the Six Ministries might also take this opportunity to cause trouble..."

"Chen Mo, stay in the palace for the time being. Only emerge once the storm has completely subsided."

"I’ll follow your arrangements, Your Highness."

Chen Mo nodded, not making a fuss.

After all, the matters of the Government are being handled by Li Yuan, so he was happy to enjoy a few days of leisure. Moreover, as a Personal Merit Guard and Yulin Lang General, being on duty in the palace was not inappropriate.

"Alright, it’s late. Everyone should get some rest," the Empress pulled the bell beside the small couch, producing a crisp sound, "Someone come."

Soon, two Palace Attendants entered with short steps.

"What orders does Your Highness have?"

"Escort Mr. Chen to rest in the East Warm Pavilion."

"Yes."

A Palace Servant extended her hand, "Please, Mr. Chen, this way."

"I shall take my leave first."

Chen Mo bowed in farewell, then followed the young Palace Servant out of the inner hall.

"Zhu’er, you will sleep in Ningde Palace tonight," the Empress said.

Lin Jingzhu questioned with some confusion, "Auntie, aren’t you coming with me?"

Normally, when entering the palace, they would share a bed. The Empress had restless sleep habits, often causing her to wake up stifled in the middle of the night...

The Empress replied calmly, "I still have some affairs to attend to. You don’t have to wait for me... Moreover, the situation is a bit complicated this time, and you’ve also been involved. It’s best to act cautiously for now."

"Yes, understood."

Lin Jingzhu didn’t think much of it, nodding, "Auntie, don’t stay up too late either, or else it’s bad for your skin. No amount of rouge would help then."

?

The Empress was puzzled.

Who put on rouge?

It was only after Lin Jingzhu left that she let out a breath.

Recalling when Chen Mo addressed her as his "darling," her cheeks once again blushed as she rolled around on the small couch hugging a pillow.

"Ugh, so embarrassing..."

After calming down, she suddenly realized something.
