I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 859

859 /1348

Lv Huaiyu watched the scene, his eyes glinting, and timely said, "Your Highness, last time I mentioned letting Chen Mo become the Crown Prince's reading companion, perhaps it's time to consider that again?"

The Crown Prince's eyes lit up even more upon hearing this.

Wouldn't this allow him to often hear Chen Mo's stories?

The Empress heard Lv Huaiyu bring up the old matter again, she frowned slightly but couldn't directly refuse, after a moment of contemplation, she said, "Chen Mo has just taken office, and there are still many affairs that require transition, probably he can't spare the time for now... If he has time later, coming to the palace to read together is no problem."

"Alright then."

Lv Huaiyu did not say more.

The Empress said, "If there's nothing else, let us dismiss the court."

The ministers called out "Long live" and then exited the Golden Throne Hall one by one.

...

As they walked out of the palace, the bright sunlight poured down, and Yan Peizhi and others appeared somewhat dazed.

Everything that happened at court today completely exceeded their expectations. Initially, they thought Chen Mo was using public office for private revenge, they never imagined that Prince Yu Mansion actually betrayed the nation?

What they didn't expect even more was, in this seemingly uneven game, it was Chen Mo, a mere military officer, who smiled at the end!

Treading over Chu Heng's corpse to step on the court!

"If I remember correctly, during the Heavenly Human Martial Exam, he was just a Fifth Grade martial artist, how long has it been since then?" Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Xu Lin furrowed his brow and said in a low voice, "Could this guy be the reincarnation of some Great Power? Otherwise, it defies logic too much…"

"That's not clear." Feng Jinyu shook his head and said, "But in any case, the rise of the Chen Family is unstoppable."

Though Chen Zhuo is hard to deal with, he is merely an official, his hands can't reach the Six Ministries.

But Chen Mo is different.

The Sky Scale Guard was originally an independent institution apart from the Three Divisions and Six Ministries, dealing in those reconnaissance and intelligence, coercion, investigating officials... "dirty work," like a sharp blade hanging above the heads of all officials, nobody knows when it might fall.

Now with this father and son, one in the open and one in the dark, one speaking and one wielding a knife, who could outmaneuver them?

At this moment, Yan Peizhi suddenly spoke, "No need to worry excessively, the Chen Family may not necessarily be the enemy."

Feng Jinyu and Xu Lin exchanged glances, their expressions puzzled.

"It's no big deal for the two of us, we can just swallow our pride." Feng Jinyu frowned and said, "However, the grievances between the Yan Family and the Chen Family have been longstanding, if Chen Mo truly gains power, the first to settle accounts with would certainly be you?"

Yan Peizhi carried his hands behind his back, calmly said, "In the court, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests, the conflict between the Yan Family and the Chen Family essentially arises from party discord... But do you think the current Chen Family still counts as the Imperial Consort Faction?"

The two were taken aback by his words.

Power owes duty only to the source of its power.

Behind the Chen Family, there is the shadow of the Imperial Consort, but Chen Mo was elevated single-handedly by the Empress, and now he has been granted the hall name "Heroic and Brave," the so-called factions have become very blurred.

"This time the Crown Prince turned danger into safety, he will certainly ascend to the throne in the future, and the Empress's elevation of Chen Mo is to help him build his future team." Yan Peizhi lowered his voice and said, "So what we should fight for is not the small benefits of the moment, but to seize the future!"
