I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 598

Chapter 598: Chapter 229 Chen Mo: The Three-Surnamed Servant Like Me Has Plenty of People Above!_3

The Crown Prince, seeing that, didn’t press further, and laughed, saying, "I was just joking, Mr. Xu, please get up."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Xu Lin got up, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

Is this how one makes a joke...

Almost scared me to death!

The Empress tapped the armrest with her fingers and said blandly, "What the Crown Prince just said is reasonable; the virtuous are hard to find, and their major virtue should be investigated rather than minor faults. However, Chen Mo did make a mistake this time, so his salary will be docked by one level, and he will be barred from promotion for half a year."

"Additionally, he is to thoroughly investigate the Barbarian Slave Case and the Zhou Family Case to see if there are any oversights, with a deadline of one month. He must give an account to me."

"Crown Prince, what do you think?"

The Crown Prince nodded and said, "Mother’s words are reasonable, I second that."

As long as it doesn’t interfere with fun and games, that’s fine...

The Empress looked through the bamboo curtain at the court officials and asked, "Does anyone have any objections?"

"..."

The Six Ministers looked at each other in dismay.

Objections?

Who dares to have objections?

Yan Peizhi, Feng Jinyu, Cui Hao, Xu Lin... those who jumped out never had a good ending.

Today’s intention was clearly to "besiege" Chen Mo, but the situation developed far beyond expectation... not only was Chen Mo unharmed, but the Six Ministries faced thorough investigation, and the Yan Family and Cui Family were even dragged into major cases!

"For Chen Mo, docking one level of salary is insignificant, and there is still more than half a year until the examination period; ’barred from promotion for half a year’ is merely an empty promise."

"In the end, it means no substantial punishment."

"Moreover, reopening these two cases and having Chen Mo responsible for the investigations will involve who knows how many more people..."

Yan Peizhi secretly clenched his fist, "Her Majesty the Empress is known to favor Chen Mo, but why does the Crown Prince also indulge him? No matter how one says it, Chu Heng is also a relative of the Imperial Family..."

Not only Yan Peizhi, but others were equally baffled.

They thought the Crown Prince suddenly presiding today was to uphold justice, only to find out it was to back Chen Mo?

This drives their minds into overload...

It’s not that I don’t understand; the world is changing too fast!

...

...

The court meeting concluded.

The officials walked out of the Golden Throne Hall, surrounding Chen Zhuo like stars around the moon.

"Truly deserves to be Mr. Chen, I wondered why he was so composed and steady as a mountain, turns out he already had a plan?"

"This move is indeed a killer blow, didn’t see Yan Peizhi’s expression, his face almost turned green!"

"That Cui Hao and Xu Lin had jumped out more than once, good time to suppress their arrogance!"

"Speaking of which, Mr. Chen, where did you get these pieces of evidence?"

"And why would the Crown Prince speak for us?"
