I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 711

Chapter 711: Chapter 268: Chu Yanli Forces a Man into Submission! The Empress’s Baby Hero Makes an Entrance! _3

"Tsk, why so excited?"

"Chu Yanli!"

The Empress, furious, glared at her. "I warned you, don’t harbor any intentions towards Chen Mo! Are you treating my words as mere passing wind?!"

Chu Yanli saw the Empress seemed genuinely angry, her dark eyebrows knit together. "Setting aside that I haven’t done anything... What’s the problem with my interest in Chen Mo? Neither of us is married yet. What does this have to do with you?"

"Of course it matters! He is..."

"Is what?"

The Empress hesitated, looked away coldly, and said, "I don’t have to explain to you. No means no!"

Chu Yanli found the Empress’s demeanor increasingly peculiar.

Even with the Dragon Qi, the Empress seemed excessively attentive towards Chen Mo.

"Ahem."

Seeing the atmosphere become tense, Chen Mo cleared his throat and said, "Her Majesty the Empress misunderstood. I was just speaking with the Princess about some matters and accidentally drank a bit too much, as my tolerance is low, so I lay down on this small couch for a while..."

He wasn’t helping Chu Yanli but was worried the Empress might accidentally reveal too much...

The Empress naturally didn’t believe such an excuse.

Alone, deep in the night, man and woman, and they’ve had so much to drink—what serious matter could they discuss?

Moreover, Chu Yanli was pressing down on Chen Mo. Had she arrived just a moment later, who knows what could have happened!

"That’s right, that’s what happened."

Chu Yanli went to the table, poured herself a drink, and chuckled softly, "The strength of this wine is indeed a bit much, my head is still kinda spinning now."

"Hmph, do you think I’m stupid?" The Empress snatched the cup away, sneering coldly, "I must see just how strong this wine is to make you both so drunk!"

"Wait a minute..."

Chen Mo was about to stop her, but the Empress had already downed the cup with her head back.

In just an instant, her beautiful face turned bright red, and she threw the cup aside, coughing violently.

"What... What a horrible thing!"

"Pff..."

Chu Yanli couldn’t hold back her laughter. "I told you, this wine is very strong."

"Your Highness, are you alright?" Sun Senior Palace Lady asked with concern.

The Empress felt as if she had swallowed a blade, her throat burning painfully, forcing herself to bear it, she said, "I’m fine, take Chen Mo along with me."

"Yes."

Sun Senior Palace Lady reached out, "Mr. Chen, please."

Chen Mo still had some matters he wanted to ask Chu Yanli.

For instance, Prince Yu’s whereabouts and her attitude towards Chu Heng... But given the situation now, it was clearly not suitable to bring it up.

He picked up the bristling Hake Han and followed the two out.

Chu Yanli didn’t stop them.

After the three left, the atmosphere in the inner hall returned to its quietness.

She sat dazed in the chair, watching the words on the table dry up, until they completely vanished.

After an unknown duration, her red lips curled up slowly, her eyes reflecting the flickering candlelight, she lifted up the wine jug and guzzled it down.

"Ah, life’s a blur of drunkenness..."

...

...

The Empress had just exited Changning Pavilion. When the night wind hit her, her mind became even fuzzier, her face as red as a ripe apple, her steps somewhat unsteady.

Sun Senior Palace Lady carefully supported her, "Your Highness, please slow down..."

"I’m fine."
