I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon-Chapter 122 - 91: Blooming Empress! The Amazing Whip Woman Hero!

Chapter 122: Chapter 91: Blooming Empress! The Amazing Whip Woman Hero!

In the following period of time, Chen Mo lived a leisurely life.

With the assistance of Bing Fire, Gui Water Officers, and the full cooperation of two Divine Catchers from the Six Gates, the efficiency of solving cases was astonishingly high, and victory reports kept coming in every day.

The backlog of old cases at the Government was being cleared at a visibly fast pace.

Ever since Chen Mo had pinned Li Yuan to a desk last time, Li Yuan now looked at him as if seeing a flood and fierce beast, fearing he would pull another outrageous stunt, so she simply went out to handle cases every day.

Early outings and late returns, working tirelessly under the stars and moon, wore the Assistant Officers out.

On the contrary, Chen Mo, the Hundred Household Officer, with nothing to do, was so idle it made him anxious.

So he continued to devote himself to artistic creation, designing several trendy styles of underwear—rope-tied, open-front, yoga pants, connected chest wraps... planning to have Little Tiger try each one.

Of course, he did not forget Shen Zhixia’s bust holder.

For this, he even disguised himself and paid a special visit to Jinxiu Workshop.

The proprietress of Jinxiu Workshop greeted Chen Mo as if he were kin, holding onto him and not letting him leave.

Upon asking, he found out that the underwear he designed had spread among the circles of noblewomen in Tiandu City; every day there were ladies and misses coming to the door, nearly treading down the threshold of Jinxiu Workshop!

Chen Mo was very puzzled.

He had only given clothes to a few of his closest people; how could it spread so quickly in the circles of noblewomen?

Rather than dwell on it, he decided not to think too hard.

After all, it’s foolish to pass up the opportunity to make money.

The two quickly reached a consensus on cooperation, with a fifty-fifty split on the sales of the underwear.

And as a strategic partner of the Whip Woman Hero, Jinxiu Workshop could obtain first-hand resources and seize the market at the fastest speed.

Following Chen Mo’s requirements, the first batch of styles on the shelves included only chest wraps and silk stockings.

And the production material was switched from the precious Thousand Silk Brocade to Qingzhou Yunjin, which was also of fine quality but cost several times less.

"Once new products enter the market, they will definitely face counterfeiting and imitation. The key to competition is the ongoing release of new products and updates, can’t reveal all your cards in one go."

"A special edition of Thousand Silk Brocade will be available only at Jinxiu Workshop after a top-up of five hundred taels, qualifying for purchase. In this way, we can convert the upper-class noblewomen into regular customers, maintaining the tone of the high-end line; at most, counterfeiters can only sip at the broth."

"Right, we need to design a brand LOGO..."

Chen Mo was originally just idling around, looking to make some pocket money.

Yet he had underestimated women’s spending power, as well as the speed at which gossip spreads...

...

Imperial Palace, Yangxin Palace.

"You know to come to the palace to see me? I thought you had forgotten about this sister of yours."

The Empress lounged lazily on the Phoenix Couch, her expression slightly resentful as she looked at the woman in front of her.

The woman was dressed in a treasure blue brocade dress with delicate cloud patterns embroidered on it, her black hair held in place with a jade hairpin, adorned with pearl and jade hair ornaments.

With clear and distinguished features and a scholarly aura, she had the poise and elegance of a lady from a noble family.

"Big sister has countless matters to attend to, busy with state affairs, how could your little sister dare to disturb you?" Lady Jinyun said with a light smile.

The Empress sighed and said, "You and Jingzhu enjoy your carefree lives outside, leaving me alone in this lonely Imperial Palace, lying on the Phoenix Couch alone at night without someone to talk to. You really have a cruel heart..."

"..."

Lady Jinyun shook her head and said, "Big sister carries the burden of our family and country; how could you compare with someone idle like me? Recently Jingzhu has been very busy, too, with so many cases to handle. She’s always out and about; I hardly even catch a glimpse of her..."

Seeing the Empress’s growing resentment, she paused and spoke softly, "How about I stay tonight to accompany my sister?"

"Good, it’s a deal then!"

The Empress’s lips curled up, her eyes gleaming like crescent moons.

Lady Jinyun looked helplessly resigned.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to enter the palace; it was mainly because the Empress was too clingy. It’s easy to enter, but leaving is difficult.

Every time she slept, she hung onto someone like a koala, and those two big Chest could suffocate a person alive. Not to mention her restless hands, grabbing here and there... making it extremely uncomfortable.

"This palace is indeed a bit too solemn."

"If not for big sister’s special status, I would really advise her to find a man, at least to alleviate some loneliness... With the Heavenly Constitution on her lips and Imperial Power at her side, even if she kept a concubine, who would dare to object?"

"However, given her personality, she would definitely not do such a thing."

Such rebellious thoughts were only in Lady Jinyun’s mind; she dared not voice them out loud.

"By the way, Jingzhu is not getting any younger. Have you considered finding a suitor for her?" The Empress asked casually.

Lady Jinyun picked up her teacup and took a sip before saying, "You know how that girl Jingzhu is, she’s only interested in solving cases, has no interest in men whatsoever. What’s the use of me worrying in vain?"

The Empress’s slender fingers brushed her cheek, her eyes brimming with mirth, "Interest can be cultivated, you know~ I’ve recently taken a liking to a young master. His appearance, ability, and family background are all well-matched with Zhu’er, but most importantly, Zhu’er doesn’t reject him. I think it might be possible to make a match."

"Oh?"

Lady Jinyun became somewhat interested upon hearing this, "If such a person catches big sister’s attention, he must be extraordinary. May I ask which family’s son he is?"

"That you don’t need to worry about; the stars are not yet aligned."

"I’m just giving you an early notice; ultimately, it depends on Zhu’er’s own feelings."

The Empress, worried that Lady Jinyun would interfere, did not reveal Chen Mo’s identity.

Moreover, while Chen Mo was highly capable, his character still needed to be examined. She couldn’t simply throw Lin Jingzhu into the fire pit just to win him over.

"I have to find a chance to call him to the palace, to properly test him..."
