I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 853

Chu Yanli shook her head and said, "Those aristocratic families have existed for a thousand years, their roots deeply embedded in every inch of the Great Yuan. Although they cannot shake the position of the Empress, they can greatly affect the court's guidelines and people's livelihood."

Chen Mo was suddenly enlightened.

In essence, it's just a way to threaten the Empress, confident that she wouldn't dare to tear away the pretense.

"The power is inverted, the civil and military officials follow suit, using the Eastern Royal Palace to command the Nine Ding."

"No wonder Eunuch Jin can't wait to eat their flesh and sleep in their skins, killing them as fast as possible—this is already the way to die..."

Just when he was pondering, Chu Yanli softly said, "What do you think about the matter of choosing a husband?"

?

Chen Mo asked in confusion, "What does this have to do with me?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yanli's expression turned cold, and she frowned, "You have kissed and touched, and now you want to deny it?"

"..."

Chen Mo's mouth twitched, "Even Your Highness knows that was an accident..."

"I don't care, I haven't left the court yet, and I've been treated so lightly by you. How can I marry someone in the future?" Chu Yanli turned her delicate head and snorted coldly, "Unless you come to participate in the husband selection, otherwise... otherwise I'll tell the Empress about you kissing my lips and still... still pinching my butt!"

Though it was a threat, the tone sounded soft, with a sense of bluster without backing.

Chen Mo frowned, "Your Highness knows well about my relationship with the Empress, why do this?"

Chu Yanli, feeling a bit guilty, clutched her clothes' hem, "It's just a formality, I'm sure Chan'er won't mind."

Won't mind?

The Empress is already petty by nature, she even specifically emphasized back then not to get involved in this matter, and the Empress on her side definitely wouldn't agree.

If I really agreed to Chu Yanli, countless jars of vinegar inside and outside the palace would be overturned!

This can't be

"Your Highness, feel free to say what you want, there's a reason for it, I'm sure the Empress can understand." Chen Mo paused, and said, "But for the sake of your relationship, I hope Your Highness considers it carefully."

After speaking, he got up and left on his own.

The sound of footsteps gradually faded, and the room returned to silence.

Chu Yanli lowered her delicate head, her eyes somewhat dark.

"I know very well that doing this is not good, but I don't have much time left."

"Sooner or later, I'll be completely eroded by the Dragon Qi, I might as well maximize my value."

"Although the Prince Consort is an outsider, he at least has a royal family background and can also gain the support of military officers, making it more convenient for him and Yuchan in the future... Moreover, this is one of the few things I can do..."

"But now it seems, he doesn't seem to care..."

The soft murmurs dissipated into the air, finally turning into a long sigh.

Outside the door.

Chen Mo stood quietly.

Listening to Chu Yanli's soliloquy, a complex expression appeared on his face.

After a long silence, he ultimately did not push the door open and silently walked away.

...

...

Ningde Palace.
