I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon-Chapter 131 - 95 Empress and Empress Compete for People! Xiao Gu and Yu’er’s Cooperation!_3
Chapter 131: Chapter 95 Empress and Empress Compete for People! Xiao Gu and Yu’er’s Cooperation!_3
The man in the gray robe, holding his shoulders, leaned against the window, eyeing her critically, "I’ve felt something off about you for a while... You haven’t really fallen for Chen Mo, have you?"
Gu Manzhi said indifferently, "That’s right."
?!
The man in the gray robe was both annoyed and amused, "Saintess Gu, you say you want to win Chen Mo over, yet you ended up being won over by him?"
Gu Manzhi shook her head, saying, "Don’t worry, I would never betray the sect. It’s vital for Chen Mo to retrieve the Azure Darkness Seal for the revival of the sect... You don’t think the current Moon Brilliance Sect can compete with Consort Yu, do you?"
The man in the gray robe was at a loss for words.
He naturally knew how terrifying Consort Yu was. Once, the Moon Brilliance Sect had been extremely prosperous, a major sect that ruled over a region, yet it was overturned with a flick of the wrist by the Evil Concubine...
Faced with such a vast disparity, even with the help of the Gu God Sect, their chances of vengeance seemed extremely slim.
"So you’re betting on Chen Mo?"
"You’ve seen his strength too. In just a couple of months, he’s leaped from seventh-grade to fifth-grade, and he even severely wounded a fourth-level peak demon! Given time, he might be able to contend with Consort Yu!"
"That’s true... His strength is indeed a bit exaggerated."
The man in the gray robe recalled the figure clad in fearsome armor, like a god or demon descending to the human world, instinctively making one feel a compulsion to submit.
"But how can you be so sure he’ll help us? Don’t forget, you’ve already been duped by him once."
Gu Manzhi opened her peach blossom eyes, her lips curling into a smile, "I believe in him, because the body doesn’t lie..."
The man in the gray robe was taken aback, disbelieving, "You lost your virginity?!"
"..."
Gu Manzhi glared at him in embarrassment, "Of course not!"
Although she hadn’t lost her virginity, everything else that could be done was done...
Remembering how eagerly Chen Mo ate the pomelo she offered him, Gu Manzhi’s cheeks flushed with a rosy tint as she turned her head away, "Anyway, it’s none of your concern, I’ll handle it."
The man in the gray robe pinched his chin, suspicion in his expression, feeling like Gu Manzhi was hiding something.
"I warn you, if you dare to betray the sect, I will personally clean house!"
"Heh, as if you could beat me..."
"..."
Just then, the man in the gray robe sense something, his figure distorting, quickly melting into the shadows.
Moments later, Chen Mo flipped in through the window.
Looking around, only Gu Manzhi was present. He inquired, "Where’s your companion?"
Gu Manzhi said, "She didn’t want to reveal her identity, so she left first... Elder Yu, she..."
"Is dead."
Chen Mo said indifferently.
Gu Manzhi fell silent for a moment, then nodded, "Dead is dead, after all, she was from the Gu God Sect and only had a nominal position as a Guest Elder in our Moon Brilliance Sect."
Chen Mo sat down beside her and asked, "Since she died here in Tiandu City, will it affect you?"
Gu Manzhi blinked innocently, "Elder Yu was killed by the Demon Clan, what does it have to do with me?"
"..."
Chen Mo shook his head with a smile, placed his hand on Gu Manzhi’s forehead, and channeled the Supreme Heart-Cleansing Mantra, helping to stabilize her injured Divine Soul.
Gu Manzhi’s pale face quickly regained color.
Bathed in the nourishment of Soul Power, an extremely comfortable sensation came over her, causing her to moan involuntarily.
"Mmm~"
She leaned powerlessly into Chen Mo’s embrace, her eyes somewhat glazed over.
Watching her peach blossom-like face, Xiao Chen felt his desire surge, submitting a double application.
However, considering Gu Manzhi’s injuries, Chen Mo reluctantly suppressed his thoughts, changing the subject:
"I’m a bit hungry after all this hassle, how about we get something to eat... huh? Wait, why are you taking off your clothes? I wasn’t talking about that kind of hunger..."
Gu Manzhi’s shoulders were half-exposed, she lightly bit her lip, "Doesn’t Lord want to eat?"
Her actions were incredibly seductive, yet her expression remained innocently pure, the strong contrast accelerating his heartbeat.
"..."
Chen Mo still lowered his proud head.
Delicious, loved to eat.
...
Next door, Yu’er vaguely heard some noise.
"Did the master come back?"
She entered the room, saw the scene before her, and her pretty face instantly turned red.
Remembering the techniques described in the secret manual, she tiptoed towards them.
Chen Mo, lost in the land of tenderness, suddenly saw one become two, the dazzling sight somewhat blinding.
?!
"Yu’er?!"
"Shh, who did you learn this from?!"
"Mmm mmm mmm, self-taught... Master, I’ve been studying hard every day, very diligently (⺣◡⺣)♡!"
"...Your efforts seem to be a bit misdirected!"
"Evil Yu’er, it’s fine to mess with Chen Mo, but why me...stop, stop!"
...
...
...
Imperial Palace, Zhao Hua Palace.
The desk was piled high with old brushes resembling a mountain range; the Empress finished reviewing the last memorial and tossed aside the writing brush, stretching her body vigorously.
Her svelte figure stretched gracefully, her palace gown taut, a magnificent sight to behold. freēwēbnovel.com
Standing by her side, Sun Senior Palace Lady approached timely, helping to press and relax her shoulders and neck.
Though she had been busy at her desk for several hours, just like always, the feeling of fatigue had significantly lessened.
This was all thanks to the new underwear—
It distributed what was once a considerable burden, no longer causing that swelling sensation, nor would it make one feel oppressed and breathless against the desk.
A true blessing for the ladies!
"This Whip Master really is a remarkable person; it would be great if he could be recruited to the palace..."
The Empress’s phoenix eyes narrowed.
The underwear could be replicated by the Clothing Bureau, but the creativity was not something that could be copied.
She heard that the Jinxiu Workshop had recently released a new product, and she specially sent someone to purchase it... though it was somewhat shameful and difficult to bring herself to wear it...
"Right, the court examination is in just a few days, have there been any movements on Chen Mo’s part?"
Ever since she harbored the intent of bringing Chen Mo and Lin Jingzhu together, the Empress paid extra attention to this small hundred households officer.
"Chen... Hundred Households Chen, he..."
Sun Senior Palace Lady hesitated to speak.
The Empress’s brow furrowed slightly, "Speak straightforwardly, why hesitate?"
In a low voice, Sun Senior Palace Lady said: "This servant sent people to inquire, and these past days Chen Mo hasn’t been going out to handle cases, spending all day at the Government Office drinking tea, like a monk who doesn’t attend to his bell... and at the Imperial Music Bureau’s Hundred Flowers Meeting, he even lavished three thousand taels to promote an Oiran."
?!
The Empress paused, "Is this true?"
Three thousand taels was not a trivial amount!
Besides, Chen Mo had always been indifferent to feminine allure; how could he become entangled with a woman from the Imperial Music Bureau?
Sun Senior Palace Lady nodded and said, "Absolutely true; Chen Mo’s name is still hanging up in the Hundred Flowers Pavilion."
"..."
The Empress’s expression darkened.
It wasn’t out of the ordinary to look for girls in the Imperial Music Bureau.
Chen Mo was young and a martial artist full of vigor, which was completely understandable.
However, as a court official, to publicly splurge a fortune and lavish gifts on a songstress, especially right before the court examination...
Naturally, it had an extremely bad influence!
"After all, he is too young, not knowing how to preserve his reputation."
"Summon him to the palace, this Empress must properly reprimand him. After all, he is a piece of uncarved jade; we cannot let him stray from the right path..."
The Empress instructed with a clear and sharp voice.
"Yes."
Sun Senior Palace Lady complied.
...
Frozen Sky Palace, Haitang Pond.
Yu Youhan soaked in the warm waters, through the clear surface, her fair and lustrous figure could be indistinctly seen.
Behind her, Xu Qingyi knelt, running a jade comb through her black tresses.
Both of them remained silent, the atmosphere somewhat still.
After a while, Yu Youhan broke the quiet, "Chen Mo, it’s been quite a while since he last visited the palace, right?"
Splash—
Hearing this name, Xu Qingyi’s hand trembled, dropping the jade comb into the pond.
"Your Highness, this servant deserves to die..."
"It’s no matter."
Yu Youhan’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Chen Mo used to come to the palace every few days, but now over a month had passed without even a glimpse of him.
Could it be because last time the Empress refused to let him get close... he resorted to this method to express his discontent?
This dog-like lackey is becoming more and more audacious!
"It might be due to the court examination, he’s been busy handling cases..." Xu Qingyi spoke softly.
"That’s also true, I had forgotten about that."
Yu Youhan’s expression softened slightly, speaking indifferently: "The Empress assigned him to the Ding Fire Department; clearly, she had ill-intentions, but people that belong to this Empress are not so easily maneuvered by her."
She had control over evidence of Vice Minister Zhou’s misdeeds, implicating numerous officials at court.
If the Empress dared touch Chen Mo, she could turn the court upside down!
"Arrange a time for him to visit the palace, I wish to... ahem, have a talk with him."
"Yes."
Xu Qingyi bit her lip, her cheeks blushing, her thoughts a mystery.
