I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Just now, Her Majesty said we can't act recklessly when there's outsiders, but now that there are no outsiders, doesn't that mean we can...?

"Are you sure, Your Majesty?"

"Anyway, drunken words don't count."

Her Majesty gathered her courage, flipped over, and pushed Chen Mo aside, her misty eyes glanced at him, shy but tinged with a seductive charm.

"Don't move recklessly, let me..."

? !

Chen Mo: ∑(O_O;)

...

...

The next day.

Just at daybreak, Sun Senior Palace Lady arrived at Zhao Hua Palace's entrance.

Seeing the palace lanterns in the corridor that stayed lit all night, she furrowed her brows, looking full of worry.

"Could it be another sleepless night?"

"Her Majesty is not a cultivator; her health is naturally frail, how can she withstand this?"

With Sun Senior Palace Lady's perceptive eyes, it's clear that Her Majesty turned out like this because of Chen Mo... Previous instances were the same, Chen Mo's every move would affect Her Majesty's emotions...

She has served beside the Empress for many years, having a thorough understanding of this master's character, dignified and self-respecting, never doing anything beyond the bounds.

But ever since Chen Mo first entered the palace, things between them have turned odd.

The Empress' attention on Chen Mo seems to have gone beyond the proper boundaries...

Could it be...

"I must be overthinking..."

Sun Senior Palace Lady shook her head, tossing the absurd thoughts out of her mind.

She stepped into the main gate, finding the front hall empty, with unfolded memorials still lying on the imperial desk, the ink in the inkstone already dried out.

Walking through the corridor, reaching the inner hall, seeing the wine cup on the small couch, her expression became even more puzzled.

"Strange..."

At this moment, the bedroom door pushed open, and a graceful silhouette walked out.

Sun Senior Palace Lady lifted her gaze, instantly stunned.

Her Majesty, in a palace gown like flowing clouds on the ground, her three thousand strands of green hair casually pinned up with a jade hairpin, with some stray hair hanging by her fair neck, adding to her laid-back charm.

Her complexion had long shed the paleness from recent days, her skin like fine jade glowing with fresh color, looking radiant as if changed into another person!

"Servant greets Her Majesty." Sun Senior Palace Lady bowed in salute.

"No need for courtesy."

The Empress cleared her throat, with a hint of panic flashing in her eyes.

That was close...

Chen Mo just left; if it were a moment later, he would have been caught by Sun Senior Palace Lady!

Sun Senior Palace Lady curiously examined her, "Your Majesty, you seem to be in good spirits?"

"Do I?" the Empress said flatly, "Perhaps because I slept deeply last night."

Sun Senior Palace Lady asked, "Did Her Majesty drink last night?"

The Empress nodded, "Troubled in my heart in recent days, difficult to sleep, so I drank a few cups lightly, slightly intoxicated, but managed to sleep well all night."

"I see."

Sun Senior Palace Lady nodded, not thinking too much.

The Empress turned away, hands behind her back, "I'm going for a bath; have someone clean up here."

"Yes."

Sun Senior Palace Lady responded.

Feeling relieved inside at the same time.

Looks like Her Majesty's state is alright, not overly impacted by Chen Mo...

Then, she glanced at the table by the small couch, suddenly realizing something was off.

"Hold on..."

"Why are there two wine cups here?"

...

...

Chen Mo walked along the palace path, heading towards the Imperial Palace's gate.

Recalling the events of last night, his expression was somewhat peculiar.

"Didn't expect Her Majesty the Empress to be so proactive..."

Perhaps by the surprise of meeting him again, or maybe under the influence of the wine, the Empress broke her usual reserve and actively invited him into the circle...

And amidst being surrounded, Chen Mo couldn't hold his ground...

"First got slept on for days by Daoist Venerable, then had to comfort the West Palace after coming back, and now the East Palace... Sigh, truly with great power comes great responsibility..." Chen Mo felt a bit helpless.

Currently, balance among the three can be maintained, but it's just temporary.

As the plot progresses, the conflicts will only intensify; when the Empress and the Empress start pulling each other's hair, who should he help?

Now Daoist Venerable got involved too, along with Moon Brilliance Sect's mess...

"My life has been walking on thin ice, who knows if I can reach the other side!"

Chen Mo shook his head and sighed.

"Mr. Chen, hold on."

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind.

Chen Mo stopped his steps, turned his head to look, and saw Eunuch Jin walking over in a blue satin sleeve shirt.

"Eunuch Jin, long time no see, still so spirited and imposing." Chen Mo cupped his hands for a greeting.

Eunuch Jin chuckled, saying, "I heard Mr. Chen solved another major case, rescuing dozens of people in Linglan County, truly a great achievement."

"Just luck, only luck."

"Mr. Chen is being modest."

Both tacitly didn't mention those few Ultimate Venerables.

"Ahem, I have a favor to ask Mr. Chen." Eunuch Jin took out a jade scroll from his sleeve, handing it to Chen Mo, saying, "This item, please trouble Mr. Chen to deliver it to Li He, just say it's from me."

"Li He?"

Since returning from the Southern Border, Chen Mo finally learned the true identity of the Heavenly Martial Arena's sweeping old man, unexpectedly a royal tributor and top-tier Grandmaster Realm powerhouse!

And the Gu God Sect was eradicated within three days, all done single-handedly by this Tributor Zhong!

Eunuch Jin said, "He's probably reluctant to see me; entrusting this to anyone else makes me uneasy; after thinking it over, only Mr. Chen running this errand seems fitting."

Chen Mo extended his hand to receive the jade scroll, nodding, "Eunuch Jin, rest assured, I will certainly deliver it."

"Thank you."

Eunuch Jin accompanied Chen Mo all the way to the Imperial Palace's gate.

Standing at the gate, Eunuch Jin intriguingly said, "Li He that old fellow seems stubborn and unreasonable, but if you meet someone that matches his taste, he's quite easy to talk with; after all, those skills can't be taken to the grave, need to find someone to pass them on."

"Mr. Chen, perhaps you might benefit from visiting the Heavenly Martial Arena more often, might even find unexpected rewards..."

Chen Mo's eyes flashed, cupping his hands again, "Thank you, Eunuch Jin, for the hint."

"Mr. Chen, take care."

Eunuch Jin waved his hand with a smile.

Watching the gradually distant upright figure, Eunuch Jin's smile faded, his eyes squinted slightly, "Finally seeing a hint of hope, Mr. Chen, don't let me down..."

...

...

It's just past 3 a.m., the sky yet to fully brighten, with a full hour until the Heavenly Martial Arena opens.

Naturally, Chen Mo wouldn't go wait foolishly, intending to return to Chen Mansion for a nap to catch up on sleep, still feeling a bit tired after a sleepless night...

However, just entering the Chen Mansion gate, his ear was grabbed, followed by a low voice:

"You rascal, you know how to come back?"

"..."

Chen Mo's mouth twitched.

"Mom?!"
