I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 572

Chapter 572: Chapter 220: The Empress Baby’s Night Raid! Caught by Arrest Officer Lin?!_3

Chen Mo said with a smile, "Don’t be nervous, it’s just idle chatter. Besides, there are no outsiders here."

Being able to stay overnight in the Yangxin Palace multiple times, Mr. Chen truly isn’t considered an outsider... Jin Shu said softly, "Please, Mr. Chen, do not spread this information, or else I fear I will be reprimanded by the Senior Palace Lady."

"Rest assured, I’m always tight-lipped."

Chen Mo stirred a trace of energy within his body, a purple-gold light flashed in his eyes, and he cleared his throat, "Another question, how much do you know about Empress Xu?"

Jin Shu felt an inexplicable pressure, and her mind trembled violently, her legs weakened, and she couldn’t help but answer, "When this servant entered the palace, the former empress had already passed away, so I don’t know much..."

"But I heard that the princess made a special trip back to the capital for this matter and had a big quarrel with His Majesty, saying she wanted justice or something..."

"The princess?"

Chen Mo furrowed his brows, deep in thought.

Noticing that Jin Shu was having trouble breathing, he snapped back to reality and quickly restrained his energy.

After obtaining that golden Dragon Qi, my control ability increased significantly, not to mention the growing pressure; even a slight leakage is unbearable for ordinary people.

He transferred a wisp of True Yuan into Jin Shu’s body and said apologetically, "Are you okay?"

"This servant is fine."

Jin Shu’s pale face eased a bit, and her gaze towards Chen Mo now carried more awe.

As a palace maid, she is particularly sensitive to such an aura, but even Her Majesty the Empress doesn’t possess this kind of majesty...

"Is there anything else Mr. Chen wishes to ask?"

"No more, thank you, Jin Shu sister, go and rest earlier."

"Si-sister?"

Hearing this term, Jin Shu’s cheeks turned red, her heart pounding like a deer, she stammered, "This servant will take her leave first."

With that said, she quickly left the room.

Chen Mo sat on the chair, tapping his fingers on the armrest.

The emperor, the crown prince, Xu Family, Chu Heng... complex information intertwined in his mind.

"After the Xu Family received that mysterious object, they faced utter devastation. At that time, Minister of War Xu Yanlin obviously realized this, which is why he fled with his family overnight... This object likely touches upon imperial secrets, likely related to Empress Xu’s death."

"Is the emperor doing this to silence people?"

"To find the answer, one must first find that object... No, there’s another way, which is to find the person who sent this object to the Xu Family back then..."

"Who would risk their life to send a message to the Xu Family? What is the purpose?"

Chen Mo vaguely grasped a clue, but it was somewhat unclear.

However, what is certain is that Chu Heng’s goals are not just about power and interests; Her Majesty the Consort is fighting for national fortune, while Chu Heng seems to want to overthrow the dynasty...

"Wanting to don the imperial robe and ascend to the throne?"

"Let’s not mention the emperor isn’t dead yet; with the crown prince and the empress around, how could it possibly be the turn of a princely heir?"

"However, it’s a pity I couldn’t kill him; mostly because those snake scales were too bizarre... Besides, Chu Heng’s aura resembles the Blood Demon, and should be condensed with Essence Blood..."

Just as Chen Mo was pondering, he suddenly sensed something and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Hmm?"

"It seems some people are even more eager than I am~"

...

...

Creaaak—

The door was gently pushed open, and a graceful figure tiptoed inside.

It was already close to midnight, the night was deep, and the room wasn’t lit, only by the moonlight outside through the window, a vague silhouette could be seen.

"Little thief, are you asleep?" the empress asked softly.

After a while, no one responded.

She supported herself against the wall and groped towards the direction of the bed.
