I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 795

Chapter 795: Chapter 297: Empress: It’s Time to Come Clean, I Really Like Chen Mo! The Prophecy Fulfilled! (Part 3)

Chen Mo appreciated her frustrated expression and nodded, "No worries, I never hold grudges. Just be mindful of your actions in the future, and if you can stay away from me, that would be even better."

Chu Yanli’s cheeks were flushed red, and she almost bit through her molars.

Originally, she intended to "handle" them this way, but who would have thought the Empress wouldn’t play by the rules and ended up shooting herself in the foot...

"About the cooperation..."

The Empress extended her hand to take back the Seal Platform, her expression calming like a rain shower turning into a gentle breeze. She smiled and said, "Considering your performance wasn’t too bad, I will grudgingly agree with you, but you mustn’t act recklessly in the future."

"...Understood."

Chu Yanli hesitated for a moment and then asked softly, "Yuchan, have the two of you really... done it?"

"Cough, cough!"

The Empress nearly choked on her saliva, gave her a side-eye, and retorted irritably, "What does that have to do with you? Don’t ask what you shouldn’t... The ceremony is about to start, so hurry up and get ready."

"Alright."

Although curious, Chu Yanli knew that the matter at hand was more urgent, so she turned and left the inner hall.

"Your Highness, just now you..."

Chen Mo was just about to speak when he saw the Empress’s tense body relax, and she leaned against him weakly, her snowy white cheeks blushing, "I actually said it out loud, it’s... so embarrassing... little thief, my heart is racing..."

Looking at her heaving chest, Chen Mo reached out and pressed his hand on it, feeling it carefully.

Indeed, the heartbeat was quite loud.

"Stop it, don’t mess around; what if Li’er comes back suddenly?" The Empress’s body trembled as she playfully slapped him.

Chen Mo found it amusing, "Your Highness just laid everything out clearly, so why are you feeling shy now?"

"Wasn’t there no other way?"

The Empress said helplessly, "On the way here, I thought carefully, considering Li’er’s personality, she definitely wouldn’t give up. I couldn’t really let you be the Prince Consort, right? Instead of that, it’s better to take the initiative..."

Chen Mo curiously asked, "What if the Princess never backs down in the end?"

The Empress candidly replied, "Then we just part ways; besides, I haven’t wanted this position of Empress for a long time, and this is a good opportunity to lead a different kind of life..."

For a moment, Chen Mo was speechless.

It seemed the Empress was bluffing, but she had actually made plans to make a break for it.

And all of this was to be with him...

However, Chen Mo still had one confusion and asked, "What did the Princess mean by ’revenge’?"

The Empress’s expression paused for a moment, then she shook her head after a brief silence, "It’s a long story..."

Dong——

The melodious sound of the bell tolled.

"The hour has come; we can talk about this after everything ends." The Empress gave him a shy but resolute peck on the cheek, "Anyway, remember that my feelings will never change."

"I feel the same."

Chen Mo said earnestly, "Your Highness will always be my treasure."

"Pff, that’s so mushy..."

The Empress spat, her pretty face aflame, though the affection in her eyes only intensified.

...

...

After a brief moment of tenderness with the Empress, Chen Mo left the palace, traversed the Nine-Curves Corridor, and arrived at a wide open space.

Looking up, the black mass of the Imperial Army stood guard around, flags fluttering in the wind, and civil and military officials lined up neatly in the square.

At the very front of the square was a massive structure made of three circular platforms, constructed entirely of white jade, sparkling brilliantly in the sunlight.

Surrounding it were nine towering stone pillars painted black, adorned with carved spiraling Golden Dragons, their scales and claws vivid and lifelike, giving an inexplicable sense of unease upon closer inspection.

"This is the Huanqiu, also known as Jiulong Platform."
