I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 647

Chapter 647: Chapter 246: Empress Baby Takes a Bath! Let’s Have an Exciting Game of Ball! _3

Until those hands found their way onto her shoulders, her body couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

"Your Majesty, I have overstepped."

Chen Mo lifted the clear water, cleansing the jade-like smoothness of her back.

A tingling sensation flowed over Her Majesty, making her limbs weak; only by holding the edge of the pool could she barely maintain her standing.

Chen Mo, however, didn’t make any inappropriate moves, diligently scrubbing her back, while gently massaging the acupoints, easing the fatigue of her muscles and tendons.

Her tense mood gradually began to relax.

"Fatigue injures the spleen and exhausts the vital energies."

"Your Majesty’s muscles appear somewhat stiff, weary, and spiritless, undoubtedly from recent overwork."

Chen Mo murmured as he pressed, "Come to think of it, I’m the one giving you trouble..."

Her Majesty lazily squinted her eyes, her voice languid, "Don’t start, you’re one of my people, if I don’t help you, who will? Besides, Chu Heng seeks to overthrow the state; even if you didn’t act, I wouldn’t spare him."

"Come to think of it, in my recollection, Prince Yu has been ill for years, never appearing publicly." Chen Mo mused, "What’s wrong with him exactly?"

Her Majesty shook her head, "I don’t know the specifics either, but the Chu Family all seem bound by this fate, whether emperor or Prince Yu, reaching a certain age means they can’t escape their doom..."

"The previous emperor was the same; it’s said he died a horribly tragic death, even the saints of the Medical Dao were powerless to save him. Prosperity must decline, like a curse hidden in the bloodline..."

"That’s also one of the reasons the Imperial Family’s lineage is so sparse now."

"Hence, there’s a saying circulating in the palace..."

Chen Mo was curious, "What saying?"

Her Majesty’s tone paused, then she spoke solemnly, "Fate runs its course; the True Dragon cannot live forever."

"True Dragon cannot live forever?"

Chen Mo felt a shiver in his heart.

Could this be the inevitable fate of the Imperial Family’s bloodline?

Then, does this mean there’s no need to worry about dealing with Chu Heng; in time, he’ll naturally die before my eyes?

"Wait..."

"Perhaps Chu Heng’s careful planning, his willingness to risk an alliance with the Demon Clan, isn’t just for the throne but to extend his life? That’s why he practices the Evil Technique, for this reason?"

"And what does the Eightfold Exorcism Array have to do with this so-called curse?"

Chen Mo seemed to grasp something vaguely but couldn’t confirm it just yet.

"However, knowing Wu Lie, he absolutely won’t willingly face death but will use every conceivable means to extend his lifespan." Her Majesty leaned against the pool’s edge, her figure overflowing, "That’s why I told you to be careful. Him having the Crown Prince approach you intentionally must have hidden intentions."

Chen Mo chuckled and said, "Could it be His Majesty wants to seize my body?"

Her Majesty pondered seriously for a moment, then shook her head, "That’s unlikely; otherwise, the previous emperor would’ve done so long ago. This ’curse’ shouldn’t be resolved by merely exchanging bodies..."

"But still, believe in its existence, better to be cautious; keep your distance from the Crown Prince, don’t get entangled too deeply."

"Yes."

Chen Mo replied.

His hand glided across the jade back, causing ripples to form.

Her Majesty’s cheeks flushed with warmth, her eyes rippled, exuding a fragrance of orchids and osmanthus.

"However, speaking of relationships, since you’re the Crown Prince’s mother, should I be considered his godfather or stepfather with our relationship?" Chen Mo suddenly asked.

?

Her Majesty was momentarily stunned.

Her face quickly reddened, as if a ripe tomato, and she snapped, "What nonsense! Godfather sounds awful! Besides, the emperor’s still alive, and we have no formal tie, so how could you be a stepfather?"

Chen Mo, with his expert comprehension, naturally understood what she implied, "So, you’re saying that once His Majesty passes, you’ll truly be able to be with me?"

"Pah, when did I ever say such a thing!"

Her Majesty glared at him, feeling this conversation was somehow odd.

She felt like an unfaithful woman, hoping her husband would pass early so she could fly away with her lover.

Thinking about it brought a strange sadness, and after a long silence, she asked, "Little thief, would you ever despise me?"

Chen Mo asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, why do you say this?"

Her Majesty lowered her head, mumbling, "Even though there’s nothing real between the emperor and I, I’ve still been married. Even if the emperor dies, I’ll remain a widow, belonging to the Chu Family..."

As a woman who lost her husband, should she truly be with Chen Mo, she’d only be considered a remarried woman.

This undermines the virtue of womanhood and can’t be seen as respectable.

"Hmm, true enough..."

Chen Mo stroked his chin, lost in thought.

Her Majesty’s slender hand quietly clenched, somewhat anxious, "I don’t care about titles, if you mind, then staying like this is just fine..."

Before she finished speaking, Chen Mo said, "Now that the good qualities are mentioned, shouldn’t we discuss the flaws?"

?

Her Majesty asked, confused, "Good qualities?"

Chen Mo offered a smile, wrapped his arms around her slim waist, leaned to her ear and whispered, "Your Majesty might not know, ’widow’ is a bonus here!"

???

Her Majesty’s head was befuddled, her almond eyes filled with shyness and shock.
