I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 669

Chapter 669: Chapter 254: Madam’s Fantasy! Chen Mo, stop pretending, you definitely like me!

"The Jiang Family?"

Feng Jinyu was momentarily stunned, unsure, "Which Jiang Family?"

Yan Peizhi said calmly, "How many families with the surname Jiang are there in Tiandu City? And which one is worthy of being personally recommended by Chief Minister Zhuang?"

Feng Jinyu’s throat moved slightly, "You mean..."

Yan Peizhi raised his hand to point at the ceiling.

In the parlor, the atmosphere turned quiet, and one could clearly hear Feng Jinyu’s slightly heavy breathing.

In that brief moment, several names flashed through his mind: the Jiang Family of the Secretariat, the Jiang Family of the Central Secretariat... but the answer was one he dared not even consider!

"Mr. Yan, are you crazy?!"

Feng Jinyu snapped back to reality, speaking urgently, "Are you seriously getting involved with them? Do you know that Her Majesty the Empress..."

He stopped abruptly, even though there was a Sound Isolation Technique in the parlor, he instinctively lowered his voice, "Her Majesty the Empress detests ministers being entangled with gate valves. As someone from the Six Ministries, you’ve committed a grave taboo!"

"Of course I know, but do you think I have any choice?" Yan Peizhi sneered, "All these years, I’ve been serving the Empress diligently, and what did I get in return? Just because of some conflict with Chen Mo, I was mercilessly abandoned!"

"And do you think Chen Mo will let it go just like that?"

"Targeting the Yan Family is just the beginning. Next will be the Princely Heir, including the Feng Family, the Xu Family, the Cui Family... anyone who holds a grudge against him won’t be spared!"

"Since Her Highness doesn’t care, I have no choice but to find another way to protect myself!"

Seeing Yan Peizhi becoming more agitated, Feng Jinyu instead calmed down.

Upon careful consideration, he actually made a valid point.

So-called factional strife, on the surface, appears to be differences in political opinion, but in reality, it’s a power struggle among higher-ups, ultimately competing in background and backing.

Logically, the Six Ministries should have the advantage in this respect, but the reality is that just when the conflict started, the Empress, as the "leader of the faction," was the first to betray, and even His Majesty, the "referee," sided with Chen Mo.

What’s the point in fighting then?

It’s either surrender and be slaughtered or seek protection outside the court.

Initially, he chose to cooperate with Prince Yu Mansion, also considering this convenience... The Empress’s attitude has become increasingly unpredictable, and he certainly cannot hang himself on a single tree.

"Power rests with the ruler, while ministers are like duckweed."

Yan Peizhi took a breath and continued, "To outsiders, a third-grade official appears high-ranking, but in court, we’re nothing and can’t reach the core of power."

"We are neither Lv Huaiyu nor Zhuang Jingming, if we die, we just die."

"Zhou Chuanbing is a bloody example. Do you want to follow in his footsteps?"

Feng Jinyu was momentarily speechless.

After a long silence, he spoke, "How confident are you?"
