I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 626

Chapter 626: Chapter 239: Yan Peizhi, What Kind of Man Are You! The Lady’s Determination!

?

Qin Shu stared at the series of tokens in Chen Mo’s hand and couldn’t help but be momentarily stunned.

Although she was not an official herself, as the wife of the Yan Family, she was worldly enough to recognize the significance of these tokens.

"Phoenix Perch on Parasol Tree, second-class Flying Phoenix Order, the other two are the Purple Phoenix Order from the Frozen Sky Palace, and the Qilin Token from the Sky Scale Guard..."

"I’ve never seen that jade token before, but the four-clawed dragon design indicates it’s from the Eastern Royal Palace..."

Qin Shu came to her senses, and her scalp tingled.

Each token was immensely powerful. The other party certainly wouldn’t dare to forge them, but who could simultaneously earn the favor of the Empress, the Imperial Consort, and the Crown Prince?!

It was only then she realized that Yan Peizhi was indeed speaking the truth...

It’s not that there’s no control, but simply no ability to control!

Li Yuan rested her long blade on the ground and said sternly, "How daring! In the presence of imperial tokens, how dare you not kneel?!"

Clang—

The guards suddenly snapped back to reality, hastily dropped their weapons, and knelt on the ground.

Qin Shu’s body trembled slightly. She hesitated for a moment before slowly kneeling down.

"Tsk tsk, I still prefer the defiant look you had earlier, madam."

Chen Mo fiddled with the string of tokens in his hand and said with a smile, "Madam Yan, do you find my ’credentials’ sufficient or not?"

Qin Shu’s pretty face flushed red, and she replied in a low voice, "Sufficient, certainly sufficient. I was blind to the mountain of Tai earlier and failed to recognize which esteemed gentleman from the Sky Scale Guard you are."

"Fire Department Deputy Thousand Households, Chen Mo." Chen Mo casually handed the string of tokens to Qiu Longgang and said flatly, "I am here with an Eastern Palace Decree to thoroughly investigate the Barbarian Slave Case. Evidence now suggests that your son Yan Linghu might be involved and needs to accompany us for an investigation."

"Chen Mo?"

Qin Shu’s expression became even more serious.

The name was not unfamiliar to her.

The Yan Family and the Chen Family had always been arch-enemies, and Chen Mo had caused turmoil in the Capital City recently, even severely injuring Prince Yu’s heir...and now, not only was he unharmed, but he dared to come to the Yan Family to arrest someone. This shows how strong his backing is!

"Although this seems to be cooperation for investigation, the Sky Scale Guard is a place that devours people without mercy. Going in might leave you stripped of a layer of skin if not dead!"

"Not to mention the prior grudges between Chen Mo and Hu’er... Being thrown into the Imperial Prison would likely spell doom!"

Having thought this, Qin Shu approached with a smile that seemed like a gentle breeze and a rain, and her tone softened considerably, "Ah, it’s Mr. Chen, your reputation precedes you. Today, meeting your esteemed self confirms that the tales are not exaggerated; you truly are a phoenix among men!"

"..."

Chen Mo’s mouth twitched, amused, "The speed at which you change faces, madam, is truly swift. Who just called me a mere boy?"
