I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 587

Chapter 587: Chapter 225 Empress: Just went out and got home stolen? Playing ball with Xu Qingyi?_3

"Director Xu, why is your face so red?" Chen Mo asked curiously.

Xu Qingyi snapped back to reality, her throat moved a bit, and she said in a low voice, "It’s nothing, it just seems a bit hot in this room... By the way, what exactly does the Crown Prince mean by playing with a ball?"

"..."

Chen Mo silently looked at her without speaking.

Xu Qingyi was a bit puzzled and followed his gaze downwards.

It took her quite a while to react, her cheeks suddenly flushed red, eyes full of disbelief, stammering:

"So this is the kind of ball?!"

"You’re too much, talking about this kind of thing with the Crown Prince?!"

Chen Mo helplessly spread his hands and said, "I just mentioned it casually at that time, I didn’t expect him to really take it to heart."

Xu Qingyi crossed her arms and looked at him warily, "I’m warning you, don’t you dare have any crooked ideas!"

"..."

Chen Mo said with a wry smile, "Is that how you see me?"

"What else?" Xu Qingyi retorted.

"...Nothing then."

Chen Mo awkwardly cleared his throat and changed the subject, "Speaking of which, how much do you really know about the Crown Prince?"

Switching back to business, Xu Qingyi barely steadied herself and said, "I entered the palace with the Empress, at that time the Crown Prince had just been born, during a handover of internal affairs, I happened to see the Princess storm into Qianji Palace, cursing ’Heaven’s law won’t tolerate it, you’re unworthy of being a father’..."

"The Princess?"

Chen Mo recalled what Jin Shu had mentioned before.

After Empress Xu passed away, the Princess came back from the Southern Border all the way to the Capital City and had a big argument with the Emperor...

"Was she seeking justice for Empress Xu?"

Xu Qingyi was slightly startled, "Mr. Chen is aware of this?"

Chen Mo said, "I just randomly heard it mentioned by others, but the Princess daring to confront the Emperor head-on, she sure has some guts..."

Xu Qingyi shook her head, "It wasn’t just a confrontation, the Princess actually did something."

"?"

Chen Mo frowned, "Did something?"

"Although the palace gates were closed at the time and I didn’t see it personally, I could clearly feel the Princess’s murderous aura, the whole Qianji Palace was trembling, even the Heavenly Shadow Guards were alarmed." Xu Qingyi said astonishingly.

Hearing this, Chen Mo was surprised, "Could it be that the Princess intended to rebel?"

"No one would rebel, especially not the Princess." Xu Qingyi paused and continued, "If I’m not mistaken, the Princess’s goal was to take the Crown Prince, who was just a prince at the time, out of the palace, but ultimately she failed."

Chen Mo fell into contemplation at these words.

If there was something suspicious about Empress Xu’s death and the Princess was seeking justice, he could understand that.

But what was the purpose of taking away the Crown Prince?

And now the Crown Prince is already six years old, yet he hardly ever leaves Linqing Palace, is this overprotection also because of the Princess?

"Feels like something is missing..."

"But obviously, the Princess knows some inside story, she even left a trace of Dragon Qi at the Heavenly Martial Arena, what exactly for..."

Knock knock knock——

At that moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

A woman’s voice came from outside, "Qingyi, are you in there?"

Xu Qingyi frowned slightly, got up, and went to open the door a crack; standing outside was another Director of the Palace Justice Department.

"What’s the matter?" Xu Qingyi asked.

Because she was blocking, the Female Officer didn’t see Chen Mo inside the room, handed her the package, and said with a smile, "Didn’t you say you wanted to get some new underwear last time? I happened to bring it over since they just arrived from the Internal Affairs Office."

"Take a look at the clothes, there’re two pairs of stockings, two bras, and a thong, all purchased from Jinxiu Workshop."

"By the way, why do you like wearing thongs? Aren’t they uncomfortable..."

"Ahem!"
