I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 603

Chapter 603: Chapter 231: The Empress Knows Everything! The Empress’s Trusted Minister! (Thanks to the Alliance Leader Bian Bian)

"Your humble servant will take his leave first."

The terrifying pressure made the little eunuch’s legs tremble. After delivering the message, he dared not linger a moment longer and hurriedly left the Frozen Sky Palace.

Yu Youhan sat up straight from the Consort’s Seat, her eyes like emeralds staring at Xu Qingyi, her tone sharp and icy:

"I’ve underestimated you. You really have some means, being able to have the Crown Prince arrange a marriage for you?"

"Heh, claiming innocence all the while, yet actually preparing to leave the palace... Should I call you Director Xu or Lady Chen?!"

Yu Youhan was genuinely a little angry.

She knew about Xu Qingyi’s feelings for Chen Mo, but she only considered it a girl’s infatuation and didn’t take it seriously... After all, compared to Chen Mo’s confidants, the cold Xu Qingyi seemed the safest.

Never in a million years did she expect this girl to give her such a "surprise"!

"It’s hard to guard against thieves inside the house day and night!"

"I defended against the Shen Family and Lin Family, yet someone from within stole the home!"

Looking at this confidante whom she had nurtured with care and trusted deeply, Yu Youhan felt stifled in her chest, her expression growing even colder.

"Empress, you’ve misunderstood..."

Xu Qingyi knelt on the ground, her voice trembling slightly.

"The Eastern Royal Palace has already issued the decree, and you still deny it?" Yu Youhan raised her eyebrows slightly, sneering, "Alright, then tell me how I’ve misunderstood you?"

"It’s like this..."

Xu Qingyi, as if pouring beans out of a bamboo tube, recounted in detail the encounter with the Crown Prince at Cangzhen Gate.

Yu Youhan, after listening, was taken aback and hesitated, "You mean, Chen Mo retrieved a ball for the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince rewarded you to him?"

Xu Qingyi nodded, "That’s right."

"..."

Yu Youhan was momentarily speechless.

In matters like this, Xu Qingyi wouldn’t lie, and with the Crown Prince’s childish nature, he indeed could do such a thing.

"I never expected such a ridiculous reason?"

Xu Qingyi said softly, "That’s why I said, it’s really a misunderstanding. That decree has the Crown Prince’s seal, and I can’t possibly disobey in public."

Yu Youhan glanced at her and said blandly, "Don’t act like you’re reluctantly complying. Though you seem helpless, inwardly you’re quite pleased. Do you think I can’t see that?"

"..."

Xu Qingyi’s face turned slightly red, her eyes evasive, "I didn’t..."

Yu Youhan extended her fair jade-like hand, beckoning gently.

Xu Qingyi’s body uncontrollably rose into the air, hovering in front of her.

Her slender jade fingers lightly caressed Xu Qingyi’s tender cheeks, her eyes like a bottomless abyss, as she softly asked: "Last night, besides writing stories, did you really not do anything else?"

Confronted with such blatant dominance, Xu Qingyi felt her heart squeezed tight, her breathing laborious, and involuntarily spoke the truth:
