I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 605

Chapter 605: Chapter 231: The Empress Knows Everything! The Empress’s Trusted Minister! (Thanks to the Alliance Leader of Sickness)_3

Watching the Crown Prince leave, the Empress’s expression was complex, but she said nothing more.

The two walked along the palace path through the layers of halls back to the Yangxin Palace. No sooner had they entered the main hall than the Palace Servants hurried up to greet them.

"Your Highness, allow us to help you change your clothes."

"Hmm."

The Empress said to Chen Mo, "You go sit in the inner hall for a bit. I will come over shortly."

"Yes."

Chen Mo went to the inner hall and sat on the carved nanmu Grandmaster chair.

A moment later, Jin Shu approached with a teacup, placing it on the small table beside him, "Mr. Chen, please have some tea."

Chen Mo nodded and said, "Thank you, Sister Jin Shu."

Jin Shu’s cheeks flushed faintly, and she whispered, "Mr. Chen, please don’t tease a servant like me."

"Since we’ve known each other for a while, and I’m a few years older than you, calling you sister is not out of place." Chen Mo lifted the teacup, gently scraping the foam with the lid, and took a sip before asking seemingly casually, "By the way, you’ve been in the palace for many years. How well do you know Fan Sigui from Linqing Palace?"

Jin Shu asked curiously, "Why does Mr. Chen suddenly ask about this?"

Chen Mo replied casually, "I just happened to run into the Crown Prince and chatted a bit. I felt as though the Crown Prince seemed to listen closely to what that Fan Sigui says..."

Jin Shu nodded and said, "Don’t be deceived by Fan Sigui’s young age; she’s an old hand in the palace. She was once Empress Xu’s personal maid... since Empress Xu passed away, everyone around her was dismissed from the palace, but only Fan Sigui stayed and even became an Eastern Palace Official. She naturally has some skills..."

"She was one of Empress Xu’s people?"

Chen Mo’s eyes gleamed slightly, deep in thought.

Jin Shu asked, "Does Mr. Chen have any other matters?"

Chen Mo smiled and said, "No, I was just casually asking. Sister Jin Shu, you may go about your business."

"Hmm..."

Jin Shu softly acknowledged, then turned and left.

Step, step, step—

At this moment, footsteps sounded, and a graceful silhouette emerged from behind the glazed screen.

It was the Empress, having changed out of her royal garb and elaborate headpiece, now wearing a light gauze long dress that perfectly outlined her graceful figure. Her long black hair was casually tied up, a golden jade Ruyi hairpin in her bun, revealing her swan-like long neck and exuding a sense of unadulterated purity.

As if instantly transformed from the noble and majestic Holy Empress to a friendly neighborhood big sister.

"Sister Jin Shu?"

The Empress shot him a sidelong glance, sneering, "So affectionate with your call, is it so unbearable for you not to flirt with a girl for a moment?"

Seeing no one else around, Chen Mo wrapped his arm around her slender waist, pulling her into his embrace, smiling, "Is Your Highness perhaps jealous? Hmm? My dear sister Chan’er..."

"..."

The Empress’s oval face flushed, a tingling feeling at the nape of her neck, she rebuked in embarrassment, "What nonsense, there’s no seniority here. I am much elder, you should call me sister instead!"

Chen Mo tightened his hold, feeling the tender, silky body in his arms, said softly, "In my humble eyes, Your Highness is forever in your youthful years."

"Nonsense..."

The Empress spat softly, yet didn’t push him away.
