I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 791

Chapter 791: Chapter 296: The Empress Leaves the Palace! What a Massive Ziwei Star!

The night was tranquil at this moment, and Chu Yanli’s voice was exceptionally clear.

The Imperial Army and the drivers hung their heads low, pretending not to hear anything, while Lv Huaiyu turned his head, looking at the two with a somewhat peculiar expression.

Chen Mo’s mouth twitched slightly, as if his words were squeezed out from between his teeth: "I really wish to see Your Highness again..."

"Me too."

Chu Yanli smiled brightly: "Thanks to you healing me yesterday, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to participate in the ceremony. However, you were a bit too rough, and I’m still a bit sore now."

"Ahem, Your Highness!"

Lu Shuangge whispered from the side: "There are many ears around, please be cautious with your words."

Chu Yanli also understood that business was crucial, so she stopped talking further.

Soon, a luxurious royal palanquin emerged slowly from the palace, Eunuch Jin, dressed in a Python Robe, walked ahead.

Upon getting closer, he gestured with his hand, and the royal palanquin smoothly stopped beside the elephant carriage.

The Crown Prince rose to perform a salute, "Your son greets mother."

The curtain of the palanquin lifted slightly, and the tranquil voice of the Empress came: "The Crown Prince is acting on behalf of the Monarch today, no need for formalities."

"Your son understands."

The Crown Prince slowly sat back down.

With the Empress accompanying him, his anxious feelings were alleviated significantly, and he even covertly winked at Chen Mo through the beaded curtain.

"Is Her Majesty the Empress also attending the grand ceremony?" Chen Mo frowned slightly.

According to tradition, the rite to worship the heavens belonged to the Yang ceremony, and women were forbidden to participate, even the Empress should be no exception.

Chu Yanli noticed his confusion, and transmitted soundly: "Exceptional times call for exceptional measures. The Crown Prince is still young; the Empress leads the court as regent, commanding the ministers, accompanying the procession to steady the formation is normal."

"As long as she doesn’t enter the core area of the ceremony, it won’t be considered taboo."

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow: "Then why are you also following along, Your Highness?"

Chu Yanli shook her head and said: "The journey is perilous, there must be someone to take care, I must protect the Empress well, if any mishap occurs, won’t you be incredibly distressed?"

"..."

This woman really dares to say anything.

Chen Mo couldn’t be bothered to respond to her, silently standing aside, not speaking any further.

3:15 AM.

Dong——

With the resonant sound of the bell, a bright lamp illuminated the darkness in the distance.

Then followed the second lamp, third lamp... continuing upward, fifty-nine bright lamps lit up one after another, reaching sky-high, illuminating the vast building that was hundreds of zhang tall in utmost brilliance.

"The Observatory..."

Chen Mo fixed his gaze and saw the entire tall platform constructed from pure white stone, layer upon layer, resembling a staircase to heaven, with its surface polished like a mirror, faintly revealing intricate cloud patterns.

Looking far into the distance, on the topmost layer of the Observatory, a figure dressed in blue was climbing to the summit.

With his hands behind his back, his clothes fluttered in the wind, every step spanning several zhang in distance, ascending amidst the sea of clouds, appearing quite ethereal and otherworldly.

"Who might that be?" Chen Mo was a bit curious.

"Director of the Astronomical Observatory, Qi Chengze." Chu Yanli said: "Master of the Qi Observation Skill, capable of foreseeing fortune and misfortune, predicting the national destiny; just like Lv Huaiyu, he is an old... ahem, an old gentleman."
