I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 951

Chapter 951: Chapter 354: Unpredictable Fate! The Empress’s Current Offender! (3)

"That kid..."

"Just what kind of trouble has he gotten himself into with all these people..."

...

...

Chen Mo stood atop the cloud platform, overlooking the entire cityscape beneath him.

However, the interior of the Imperial Palace was shrouded in dense mist, leaving nothing visible.

It must have been concealed by some method to obfuscate the Heavenly Secret; even the Astronomical Observatory could not spy on the Imperial Family’s privacy.

This time reaped great rewards, not just in the mastery of the Cultivation Technique; most importantly, it brought him closer to the Director, making his future visits to the Observatory justifiable.

After all these years, there’s no need to rush; he could take his time to search for the whereabouts of "that certain thing."

"Crack—"

Chen Mo twisted the Token, and the cloud platform rapidly descended, instantly arriving at the ground exit layer.

Upon stepping out of the Observatory’s door, he intended to first visit the Sky Scale Guard to arrange matters with the Government. Just as he crossed the Moat, leaving the bounds of the Imperial City, a familiar voice called from behind:

"Mr. Chen, please wait."

Chen Mo pretended not to hear and quickened his pace slightly.

Suddenly, a red figure flashed in front of him, blocking his way, compelling him to stop.

"I’m calling you, didn’t you hear?" Chu Yanli said displeased.

Chen Mo remained expressionless, his tone indifferent: "What orders does Your Highness have?"

Watching his cold demeanor, Chu Yanli blinked her eyes, "Are you angry with me?"

Chen Mo remained silent.

Chu Yanli waved her hand, emitting a golden light that enveloped them both, saying, "Don’t worry, our conversation is inaudible to others."

Only then did Chen Mo speak, in a subdued tone, "Your Highness knows of my relationship with the Empress, why have the Director calculate our marriage fate? If anything revealing happens, wouldn’t the Empress’s reputation be utterly ruined?!"

"So it’s because of this." Chu Yanli shook her head and said, "Do you think I’m a fool? Chan’er is the Mother of the Country, shielded by the Seal, her destiny tied with the country’s fate; the Director can’t calculate her identity either."

"Furthermore, if you genuinely cared about Chan’s reputation, why are you still entangled with her?"

"..."

Chen Mo was momentarily at a loss for words.

"I mean no harm, just pure curiosity. With so many women around you, who will you ultimately marry?" Chu Yanli tilted her head with a smile.

"Your Highness doesn’t need to worry about that."

Chen Mo’s tone was icy as he prepared to leave, but Chu Yanli reached out and held onto his sleeve, "Aren’t you curious about why I’m looking for Qi Chengze?"

"Not at all." Chen Mo replied bluntly.

As if she hadn’t heard, Chu Yanli continued on her own, "Soon the city will post royal notices for a public consort search for me. Before that, the Astronomical Observatory must pick an auspicious day."

Chen Mo couldn’t help but pause in thought upon hearing this.

Previously, he heard the Empress mention this, thinking it was just talk. Unexpectedly, it’s actually happening?

"With Your Highness’s status and power, shouldn’t you be able to refuse?" Chen Mo asked, frowning.

This woman dared to defy the Emperor; would she be restrained by the aristocracy?

"I can refuse, and then what?" Chu Yanli said calmly, "The Jiang Family always does whatever it takes; if that path doesn’t work, they’ll find other unscrupulous ways to force me. It’s better to end it once and for all, choose a Prince Consort, and make them give up completely."

"Then I wish Your Highness finds a worthy husband soon." Chen Mo didn’t want to be caught up in it and sighed casually.

"You know who my ideal husband is." Chu Yanli gazed intently at him.

"Love whoever you want."

Chen Mo was too tired to respond to her, broke free from his sleeve, and walked away on his own.

"When are you coming back?" Chu Yanli asked.

Without turning back, Chen Mo said, "Whenever Your Highness marries, that’s when I’ll return."

"..."

Watching the distant silhouette, Chu Yanli looked forlorn, softly muttering to herself, "Tch, am I really that annoying? So much that you won’t even come home? And I don’t have much time left to stay in the Capital City..."
