I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 769

Chapter 769: Chapter 288: The More Yu Youhan Opposes, the More It Proves I’m Right

"Prince Consort?"

Lu Shuangge said blankly, "Your Highness, are you serious?"

Chu Yanli said indifferently, "Do I seem to be joking?"

"..."

Lu Shuangge’s throat moved slightly.

The Princess has always been firm and wouldn’t joke about such matters with her.

But just earlier, it was said to make Chen Mo a concubine, at most he was a Prince Consort candidate. How did it suddenly become so certain?

What exactly happened in these two days when she was not around?

"Your Highness, could it be that you and Chen Mo..." Lu Shuangge hesitated.

Chu Yanli knew what she was thinking, shook her head and said, "It’s not to that extent yet. I’ve just suddenly realized that Chen Mo is not so superficial; it’s almost impossible to bind him solely with the body."

Lu Shuangge’s expression was a bit strange. Based on her understanding of the Princess, being able to say such words likely means the attempt to coerce him failed...

"So, after thinking carefully, I wondered what I could offer Chen Mo or the Chen Family," Chu Yanli continued. "After all, Chen Zhuo is just an official, and that’s his limit, but Chen Mo is following the path of ascending through the ranks of a military officer; I have much more room to operate."

"As long as he is willing, I will help him climb step by step to the top."

"And the identity of ’Prince Consort’ is merely to facilitate handling affairs."

Lu Shuangge mused, "But from what I know, Chen Mo doesn’t seem that passionate about power."

Chu Yanli chuckled softly, eyes flickering with inexplicable emotion, "Perhaps he lacks great ambition, but to be with the woman he likes, he must have a high enough status."

"Wait, let me think this over..."

Lu Shuangge was a bit bewildered, scratching her head, "You’re saying that you marrying Chen Mo is to help him pursue another woman?"

But considering Chen Mo’s status and position, what kind of girl couldn’t he have, and why would he need the Princess’s help?

And if truly noble, how could she willingly lower herself?

"Cough, cough, of course, that’s a matter for later, provided Chen Mo can think it through himself." Seeing Chu Yanli unwilling to say more, Lu Shuangge refrained from further questioning and pressed down the confusion in her heart, saying, "By the way, does Her Majesty the Empress know about this?"

"Naturally, Yuchan does not agree, and not only her but Yu Youhan reacted quite fiercely, almost breaking ties with me because of this." Remembering those terrifying eyes, Chu Yanli’s expression was serious, and there was a vague sense of dread in her heart.

The true strength of that woman might have already exceeded her understanding.

Lu Shuangge frowned, "Given this, you still want to insist?"

Chu Yanli clasped her hands behind her back and said, "Yu Youhan is my enemy; the more the enemy opposes, the more it indicates I’m right."

"What about the Empress?"

"Yuchan only wants stability, while I want to change the world, remove the old and bring in the new. Though we walk the same path, the destination is entirely different, and her opposition precisely indicates that I am doing the right thing."

"..."

Lu Shuangge was speechless.

Chu Yanli’s eyes narrowed, though she had encountered setbacks in front of Chen Mo, she didn’t feel defeated.
