I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 794

Chapter 794: Chapter 297: Empress: It’s Time to Come Clean—I’ve Always Loved Chen Mo! The Prophecy Fulfilled! (Part 2)

Chen Mo blinked his eyes, "Are we still okay?"

The Crown Prince’s cheeks were flushed as he nodded earnestly, "Yes, as long as you don’t lie to me again, you’ll still be my best friend."

Chu Yanli saw Chen Mo amusing the Crown Prince into a daze, and her expression was somewhat peculiar.

This person not only has excellent luck with women but seems to have good luck with children as well...

"The hour is late, take the Crown Prince to bathe and clean up, then prepare for the ceremony," the Empress spoke up.

"Yes."

A Palace Attendant responded and led the reluctant Crown Prince out.

The inner hall was left with only three people, and the atmosphere quieted down.

The Empress looked at Chen Mo, furrowing her brows, "Aren’t you supposed to be patrolling near the Imperial Palace? Why did you come here instead?"

"It was Master Lv..."

Chen Mo was just about to explain when Chu Yanli’s slightly amused voice sounded: "Do you even need to ask? Of course, he’s worried about you. Even if you lose a hair, this guy would feel sorry for half the day."

The Empress frowned even more upon hearing this.

Chen Mo’s expression turned cold, "I don’t understand what Your Highness is saying."

"Do you really not understand, or are you pretending not to?" Chu Yanli slightly narrowed her eyes, "Do I really have to spell it out?"

"The Empress is noble as the Mother of the Country and cannot tolerate such slander, so please be careful with your words, Your Highness."

"Since you know her status, how dare you act recklessly?"

"Does Your Highness have any evidence?"

"I’m not investigating a case; why would I need evidence? Some things are clear to everyone."

The two stared at each other across the distance, and tension spread.

At this critical moment of confrontation, the Empress rapped the table with her hand and said sternly, "Impudent, do I exist in your eyes?!"

Seeing the Empress genuinely angered, the two coldly snorted and looked away.

Chen Mo knew very well that Chu Yanli intended to exploit his relationship with the Empress to achieve her own goals.

But just as she said, it was merely speculation.

So, as long as he denied it to the end, there was nothing she could do.

"Li’er..."

The Empress cleared her throat, saying, "Chen Mo has already explained yesterday’s events to me. I called you over to take this opportunity to make things clear."

Chu Yanli raised her eyebrows and said, "I know what you want to say. You two are completely innocent, haven’t overstepped in the slightest, and are purely interested in nurturing talent, right? You thought I was foolish..."

"Wrong."

The Empress interrupted, her tone calm, "There is nothing innocent between Chen Mo and me. Everything that shouldn’t have happened, has happened. That’s what I wanted to tell you."

?

The hall fell silent in an instant.

"Your Highness?"

Chen Mo was stunned.
