I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 604

Chapter 604: Chapter 231 Empress knows it all! The Empress’ Key Minister! (Thanks to the alliance leader with a disease)_2

"Where did my thoughts wander off to..."

"But it’s been a long time since I’ve seen the Crown Prince so happy."

At this moment, Sun Senior Palace Lady spoke, "Fan Sigui, there’s something I’m curious about, I wonder if I might ask."

Fan Sijin said, "Senior Palace Lady, feel free to speak."

Sun Senior Palace Lady pondered for a moment, then asked, "The Crown Prince seems to have a very good relationship with Chen Mo?"

Fan Sigui looked slightly puzzled and replied, "I actually find it quite strange too. They’ve only met twice, yet the Crown Prince is particularly close to Chen Mo, even after returning to the palace, he keeps talking about him..."

A strange look flashed in Sun Senior Palace Lady’s eyes, as if she’d thought of something.

The two walked several dozen steps further, and Fan Sigui seemingly casually remarked, "In all these years, no minister has ever entered the East and West Six Palaces; it seems Her Majesty the Empress really favors Mr. Chen."

Within the Inner Court, besides Zhao Hua Palace being used for handling governmental affairs, most of the other palaces house concubines, thus making them forbidden areas within the Imperial Palace.

For an outer minister to appear here is a serious violation of the rites system.

Sun Senior Palace Lady said lightly, "Chen Mo concurrently serves as Personal Merit Guard Yulin Lang General, so he inherently has duties to patrol and guard the Imperial Palace. Moreover, given his abilities, it’s normal for Her Majesty the Empress to value talent."

Fan Sigui nodded and said, "Senior Palace Lady’s words are reasonable."

The atmosphere fell into silence once more, with the two following quietly behind, as if they had only been casually chatting.

But what they were really thinking, only they themselves knew.

...

...

"Mother, that tree grows so uniquely, I haven’t seen anything like it in Linqing Palace."

"That bird flies so high, Mother, will I be able to fly that high when I grow up? I really want to look outside the palace walls."

"Wow, this courtyard is so spacious, it looks perfect for playing ball..."

Along the way, the Crown Prince chattered non-stop.

The Empress responded intermittently, seemingly a bit preoccupied.

After a while, she suddenly noticed the atmosphere becoming quiet, and turned her head to see the Crown Prince standing still with his head hanging down, as if he’d done something wrong.

"What’s wrong?" the Empress asked bewilderedly.

The Crown Prince peered at his toes, entwining his fingers, and mumbled, "Why hasn’t Mother been responding to me? Did I say something wrong in court that made Mother angry?"

The Empress shook her head and said, "This palace was just thinking about something..."

Seeing the Crown Prince feeling down, the Empress bent down, patted his shoulder, and praised, "The Crown Prince’s performance at the Golden Throne Hall was excellent. This palace has long been fed up with those ministers."

"Really?" The Crown Prince still seemed a bit doubtful.
