I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 854

This attracted a few kingfishers, landing on the branches and chirping non-stop, adding quite a bit of vitality.

Overnight, the entire palace underwent a transformation beyond recognition.

It changed from barren desolation to vibrant life!

"This servant greets the Princess."

A woman's voice came from outside the wall.

Chu Yanli looked up and saw a palace attendant from the Imperial Kitchen kneeling at the door, holding a tray with a white porcelain soup bowl on it.

She stepped closer and opened the lid; a familiar medicinal fragrance wafted to her nose.

"Who sent you to deliver this?"

The palace attendant lowered her head and replied, "It was Mr. Chen's instruction... Yesterday, he spent over two hours in the kitchen and even wrote a prescription for us to follow. We're to brew the medicine as per the prescription and deliver it to you every morning until your body fully recovers..."

"Why does your Imperial Kitchen listen to him?" Chu Yanli asked curiously.

The palace attendant replied helplessly, "Mr. Chen pulled out a string of tokens from somewhere, including the Eastern Palace Order and the Flying Phoenix Order. I dared not disobey..."

"..."

Chu Yanli pursed her lips and asked again, "Did you clean both inside and outside this palace?"

The palace attendant shook her head, "Without Your Highness's permission, we would not dare to step into Changning Pavilion."

As she said this, she seemed to think of something, and cautiously added, "But when I came this morning, I happened to bump into Mr. Chen. He had just left, looking disheveled, and I don't know what he was busy with..."

The air was quiet for a moment.

Then, a sound of gentle laughter filled the space.

"Your Highness?"

The palace attendant looked up puzzled, her eyes slightly dazed.

On that stunning face hung a radiant smile, much like the blooming crabapple on the branches, with subtle emotions lingering at the corner of her eyes and eyebrows, resembling the ripples on a pool of spring water.

Having served in the palace for many years, she had never seen Her Highness show such a tender expression.

Is this still the fierce person who split the Qianji Palace with a sword?

The palace attendant's throat moved, and she asked, "Your Highness, what should be done with this medicinal soup?"

"Of course, drink it."

Chu Yanli picked up the porcelain bowl and drank it all in one go, smilingly said, "Although he didn't brew it himself, it shouldn't be wasted... By the way, do you know where Chen Mo went?"

The palace attendant replied, "Not sure, just noticed he's hurrying towards the Golden Throne Hall..."

"Golden Throne Hall?"

Chu Yanli thought with interest.

...

...

In front of the Golden Water Bridge, civil and military officials gathered here.

Unlike usual, today's atmosphere was particularly oppressive, with everyone having a solemn expression.

Days have passed, yet the brutal scene at the shrine remains vivid. Before this, they could never have imagined falling into such a predicament.

In that cataclysmic chaos, human life was utterly worthless!

Watching the high-ranking officials being crushed to meat paste by falling boulders was a shock and despair beyond words!

At that moment, all thoughts of identity and status were abandoned, and the only thought was to survive!

Even though they escaped safely, the shadows in their hearts have not dissipated.

"This is man-made disaster and not a natural calamity; it must be thoroughly investigated!" Shangguan Jin broke the silence first, filled with anger in his voice, "Tiandu City must not let these thousands of lives die in vain, nor those Imperial Army soldiers!"
