I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 641

Chapter 641: Chapter 245: The Empress Baby’s Background! Massage First, Bath Later!

"Has Chen Mo arrived?"

The Empress furrowed her brows slightly.

Chen Mo entering the palace at this critical moment is definitely because of the Yan Family’s case.

In such a short time, there can’t be any major discoveries. It’s highly likely that he’s encountered some trouble.

Zhuang Jingming obviously realized this as well and said, "It’s just the right time for Mr. Chen’s arrival. Regarding these two cases, I happen to have some questions I wish Mr. Chen could clarify... Your Highness shouldn’t mind me eavesdropping, right?"

This request wasn’t unreasonable.

If he were deliberately asked to avoid it, it would seem somewhat lacking in confidence...

"Let Chen Mo come in," the Empress nodded and said.

"Yes."

Sun Senior Palace Lady responded and retreated.

A moment later, a tall figure dressed in a Dark Scale Black Robe walked into the hall.

"Your lowly servant greets Her Majesty the Empress," Chen Mo bowed in salute.

"No need for formalities," the Empress said indifferently.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Chen Mo stood up and, noticing the elder in red beside him, bowed again and said, "Chief Minister Zhuang is here as well?"

"Mr. Chen," Zhuang Jingming stroked his beard and smiled warmly, "It hasn’t been many days, and you are still as impressive as ever."

"You flatter me, Chief Minister."

Chen Mo inexplicably felt a bit uneasy.

Though Zhuang Jingming’s smile seemed amiable and kind, his eyes held a cold indifference. It was the same when they last met at the Golden Water Bridge... If Lv Huaiyu was a fierce, cunning wolf, then Zhuang Jingming was like an old, shrewd fox.

Cunning and slick, leaving one unable to ever grasp his true thoughts.

"Earlier, I was discussing the Barbarian Slave Case with Chief Minister Zhuang, and Deputy Households Commander Chen arrived just in time," the Empress said casually, "The deadline is still early; I wonder what brings Deputy Households Commander Chen to the palace?"

Chen Mo replied, "Reporting to Your Highness, I came here precisely because of this case."

"..."

The Empress looked somewhat helpless.

This big fool can’t seem to tell I’m hinting at him to ease the situation, yet he stubbornly stays the course...

Isn’t this blatantly giving Zhuang Jingming a chance to find fault?

But having said that, the Empress couldn’t pretend not to have heard and said, "Then go ahead, are there any developments in the case?"

Chen Mo shook his head and said, "The Barbarian Slave Case is too old; many clues are already lost. Cracking it in a short time is indeed very difficult..."
