Looking at his back, Yu Youhan’s charming face was as radiant as the morning glow, her misty blue-green eyes resembling a moon reflected in a lake.
"I’m really going to die..."
...
...
"I didn’t expect..."
"In terms of displacement, slightly inferior to Her Majesty the Empress, but the fragrance mist evoked by the collision of waterfalls and flames is truly more awe-inspiring!"
Chen Mo couldn’t help but shake his head in admiration.
This was still the first time he truly witnessed without any hindrance...
"Although I didn’t manage to make a play, being able to witness this... it is worth it!"
"Mr. Chen?"
Just as Chen Mo stepped out of the inner hall, a familiar voice called from behind.
He turned around and saw Xu Qingyi in white walking towards him.
"Director Xu." Chen Mo nodded in greeting.
Xu Qingyi came closer, inspected him carefully, confirmed he wasn’t injured, and frowned, "Mr. Chen, why did you get into a fight with Chu Heng?"
This wasn’t just a regular brawl; from what she had heard, Chen Mo had struck with deadly intent, almost obliterating Chu Heng! If it weren’t for the timely arrival of the mansion steward, Chu Heng would already be a dead body!
"My grudge with Chu Heng dates back, he has repeatedly tried to kill me, already treading the path of inevitable death... waiting motionlessly for demise is just not my style." Chen Mo said lightly.
Xu Qingyi’s brows tightened, "Why does Chu Heng target you? Is it because of the Zhou Family Case?"
"Pretty much."
Chen Mo did not explain further.
Xu Qingyi’s gaze turned a shade colder, shook her head, "Regardless, Chu Heng is the Heir of Prince Yu, possessing a distinguished identity and status, Mr. Chen’s actions are somewhat thoughtless..."
Chen Mo thought she was about to scold him for causing trouble, but Xu Qingyi continued, "To deal with such a person, either do nothing, or do so decisively... you should have informed me, set up an ambush in advance, if you and I joined forces, even the Grandmaster couldn’t save him, ensuring Chu Heng’s demise on the spot."
"Or could it be, Mr. Chen considers me an outsider?"
"..."
Looking at her earnest expression, Chen Mo was momentarily speechless.
He nearly forgot, she is known as "White Impermanence", notorious enough to make children cry at night, in terms of killing intent, not much gentler than the Empress... Not to mention the princely heir, she might even dare challenge Prince Yu!
Yet she always seemed easy to bully in front of him...
"Fine, next time such a matter arises, I’ll definitely call upon Director Xu." Chen Mo said.
"Agreed." Xu Qingyi nodded in satisfaction, "Remember the Spirit Jade I gave you, if faced with danger, inject True Yuan into it, within the Imperial City range I can sense it."
"Okay."
"Hmm..."
At this moment, Xu Qingyi’s nose twitched, she leaned closer to sniff, somewhat puzzled, "Why do you have the scent of the Empress on you?"
?
Chen Mo’s expression stiffened, "Do, do I?"
Xu Qingyi, in all seriousness, "The Empress prefers to use osmanthus-scented floral water, I’ve smelled it more than once, definitely can’t be mistaken."
"..."
Chen Mo’s mouth twitched.
Truly the Empress’s personal female officer, her sense of smell is just as sharp...
"Ahem, maybe when the Empress was spraying perfume earlier, some accidentally got on me..."
"I figured as much, seems the Empress can really spray."
Xu Qingyi didn’t think much of it, and asked, "What are the Empress’s plans next?"
Chen Mo spread his hands, "That will depend on Prince Yu Mansion and the court officials’ reactions, to be on the safe side, I might need to stay in the palace for a few days."
"Really?"
Xu Qingyi’s eyes slightly brightened, a hint of excitement flashed across her face, quickly concealed.
"Where is Mr. Chen heading now?"
"Idle anyway, planning to wander around the palace..."
Noticing her slightly expectant look, Chen Mo tentatively said, "Director Xu, if you’re free, why not join me?"
