I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 902

Chapter 902: Chapter 337: The First Concubine in History! Paper Flying Girl Wants to Explode Gold Coins Again?

Sun Senior Palace Lady came closer and looked back and forth between the two, her gaze somewhat peculiar, "Mr. Chen, what is this situation between you two...?"

Ling Ningzhi realized and hurriedly broke free from Chen Mo’s embrace, stepping back two steps, her pretty face turning a slight shade of red.

Chen Mo remained poised and said, "I heard Commander Ling was injured and made a special trip to visit."

As an external tributor of the Demon Suppression Department, this was quite normal, but to Sun Senior Palace Lady, it sounded different.

Rumors about the two had been rampant for a long time, and she hadn’t taken them seriously, but now they’ve reached the stage of meeting the parents?

Such blatant behavior is quite bold!

But in front of Ling Ningzhi, she couldn’t say much, so she cleared her throat and said, "Mr. Chen rescued thousands of civilians in the southern outskirts, his merits and virtues reaching and benefiting the populace. Nowadays, the city is singing praises of your feats, truly admirable."

Chen Mo shook his head and said, "Sun Senior Palace Lady has praised me too much."

He really didn’t think it was anything extraordinary.

Compared to those on the front lines, tirelessly treating the wounded day and night, he hadn’t made much sacrifice and actually gained quite a few benefits.

But as a gentleman speaks of actions not intentions, the fact remains he saved people, so there’s no need to be pretentious, accepting the rewards with peace of mind.

"Just happened to meet here, saves me another trip."

Sun Senior Palace Lady took out a stack of documents from her sleeve, handed them to Chen Mo, and said, "Regarding the court’s intention to establish a temple for you, as you might know, these are your achievements compiled by the Secretariat. See if there are any omissions, it will eventually be inscribed and recorded in the merit log."

Chen Mo took it and skimmed through.

The documents detailed all his good deeds, including: Demon slaying in Linglan County; destroying the Gu God Sect’s plot in Linyang County; consecutively killing two major Heavenly Demons, eliminating great threats from Jiu Zhou...

And this time, slaying the culprit and bringing down rain in the southern outskirts.

He directly or indirectly saved not just thousands but tens of thousands of civilians!

Such merit, aside from the Princess suppressing the Southern Barbarians, no other could compare.

So when the Empress announced to establish a temple for Chen Mo, there was no opposition in the court. With Chen Mo’s current reputation, whoever dared oppose would stand against the populace.

"Well, this time truly standing at the moral high ground."

Chen Mo’s lips twitched.

Originally, he was planning to cling to the female antagonist’s thigh, yet now he’s more upright than anyone, really took a wrong turn...

After confirming, Sun Senior Palace Lady put away the documents and said, "Now the Ministry of Construction is busy repairing the city, once it’s rebuilt, we’ll proceed with building the temple... but this is both a blessing and a shackle to Mr. Chen, you’ll need to act more cautiously in the future."

Chen Mo understood Sun Senior Palace Lady’s meaning.

Water can carry a boat, but also capsize it.

Having the people’s support certainly makes the political path smooth, but at the same time, any flaws can be exponentially magnified. If someone with intent finds a flaw, turbulent public opinion might backfire.

"Thank you, Senior Palace Lady, for your guidance. I’m aware." Chen Mo cupped his hands.

"That’s good." Sun Senior Palace Lady nodded slightly.

"By the way, Senior Palace Lady, you came to the Demon Suppression Department today for...?"

"Her Majesty the Empress is quite concerned about breaking the formation, asked me to check the progress."
