I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 569 - 219 Bottom Line Breakthrough! The Empress’s Embarrassing Baby! _3

"..."

Chen Mo’s mouth twitched.

The Empress wasn’t entirely wrong. If it weren’t for Chu Heng, he would still be role-playing with Yu’er right now!

But that’s something he’d never admit.

"Your Highness misunderstood, she’s just a good friend I just made. We have a friendship sealed with lips," Chen Mo said with a serious face.

"Hmph, do you take me for a fool?" The Empress rolled her eyes at him and snorted coldly, "You, little thief, are so bold as to tease even me. Can you really resist when those girls throw themselves at you? You probably already devoured them clean!"

The Empress indeed knows me well...

Chen Mo didn’t dare linger on this topic and quickly changed the subject, saying, "By the way, I heard that Chu Heng is secretly looking for something, and it seems to be related to the Xu Family’s rebellion back then..."

"Xu Family?"

The Empress raised her brow slightly.

Chen Mo nodded, "That’s right, as far as I know, this item was likely sent out from the palace, and the Xu Family ran into trouble that very night... For Chu Heng to take such an interest, it must have extraordinary significance..."

The Empress seemed to have thought of something, her gaze deepening as she said, "The Xu Family’s affair is very complicated, you’d better not get involved, or it will be all harm and no benefit for you."

Chen Mo sighed silently.

How could he not understand that reasoning?

But the problem is, he’s already been dragged into this.

Being both the Emperor’s brother-in-law, the Crown Prince’s uncle by marriage, and his godfather, it’s almost impossible to stay out of it... After all, with the connection to Yu’er, he couldn’t just stand by while the Princely Heir acts against the Xu Family’s women.

Seeing Chen Mo’s furrowed brows, the Empress thought he was worrying about the Princely Heir and gently comforted him, "Alright, don’t worry, I was just teasing you earlier... Just stay put in the palace for these days, I’ll find a way to resolve this."

Chen Mo shook his head, "I’m not worried about that, after all, with the Death Exemption Token, I can always resign and stop working, enter the palace and become Your Highness’ concubine..."

?

The Empress flushed crimson and smacked him playfully, "Who’d want you as a concubine? I don’t need it."

Chen Mo smiled silently, wrapped an arm around her slender waist, and lifted her up onto his lap with his other arm’s crook.

The voluptuous curve pressed into a subtle indentation, and even through clothing, he could feel the delicate and warm sensation.

The Empress’s eyes showed a hint of panic, "Little thief, stop messing around, Bamboo will come back soon... mm!"

Before she could finish speaking, her lips were sealed.

As Chen Mo gently explored, her tense body gradually softened, as if turning into a pool of spring water, her half-closed eyes rippling with waves.

After a long while, they parted.

Leaning weakly in his arms, her breath like orchids, the Empress murmured with a hint of urgency, "Naughty, bullying me again..."

Chen Mo chuckled, "Your Highness said you weren’t interested? How come you initiated just now?"

"..."

With flushed cheeks, the Empress turned her head, muttering, "You, always finding new ways to torture me. If you really stayed in the palace, you’d wear me out, wouldn’t get to attend morning court ever again..."

Chen Mo pinched his chin, pondering, "If that’s the case, then I’ll work in shifts—taking turns with the Imperial Consort, Your Highness, and the Daoist Venerable, being the shared concubine for all three of you, to ease Your Highness’s burden."

"Dare you!"

The Empress abruptly flipped over and sat astride his waist, glaring at him, "You’re only sleeping with me! You’re not allowed to fool around with those other two women!"

Chen Mo’s hand caressed her graceful curve, softly saying, "Don’t be mad, Your Highness. I was just joking... But speaking of which, last time I made a proposal, should Your Highness consider it..."

?

The Empress realized something was amiss and attempted to get up and leave.

But an electric tingling surged suddenly, causing her body to tremble slightly, collapsing powerlessly onto Chen Mo’s chest.

"Little thief, stop it..."

"If Your Highness isn’t willing, I have another idea..."

Chen Mo’s hand rested on the full arc, applying slight pressure with his fingertips—

"Mm..."

The Empress bit her lip, a muted whimper escaping, her cherry-red cheeks as vibrant as peach blossoms.

Though Chen Mo didn’t say it outright, having perused countless books recently, her knowledge reservoir had greatly increased, and she vaguely sensed what he meant...

"How could this be possible?"

"This is utterly preposterous!"

Chen Mo looked at her eagerly, "I’ve been restraining myself as per Your Highness’s words... But Your Highness needs to offer some motivation, right?"

"Is it not enough that you bully me constantly? I truly owe you..."

The Empress knew that with this little thief’s nature, if she didn’t offer some sweetness, he wouldn’t relent easily... After hesitating for a while, she blushed and said quietly, "Then... let’s go with your last suggestion, but you must wait until I’m ready..."

Though a bit difficult to say, it was better than the alternative...

Chen Mo’s lips curled into a smile.

When you want to open a window, you might face opposition, but if you suggest tearing down the roof, the other party might just open the window themselves.

"Once the handle is in, won’t it be far from becoming the minister who props the stock?"

"I’m a damn genius!"

Just as Chen Mo was about to get up, his peripheral vision caught the corner of a book under the pillow.

"Hmm? What’s this?"

He reached out and pulled out the book.

"Wait! Don’t look!"

Realizing what he was about to do, the Empress hurriedly tried to snatch it back.

But Chen Mo held her firmly with his arm, leaving her unable to reach it despite struggling, and she could only watch helplessly as he opened the cover.

?

Chen Mo froze.

Dragon Coiling, Fish Paired, Swallow Hearted, White Tiger Leaping...

Seeing the detailed pictorial guide on it, his lips twitched, "Your Highness, you sure are diligent..."

"..."

"Who put such a book under my pillow?"

"I haven’t read a single word! Little thief, you have to believe me, I really haven’t read it!"

The Empress’s face turned bright red, stammering.

"Of course, I believe Your Highness, though I wonder which palace servant is so outrageous, reading this kind of racy book is one thing, but making notes on it?"

Chen Mo read aloud the tiny scrawl on it, "If the woman is happy, the man won’t fade, mutual affection, both will be happy... The little thief will probably like this, maybe try it next time..."

"Stop! Don’t read it!"

The Empress clapped a hand over his mouth, wishing she could find a hole to hide in.

That’s it, this time my face is entirely lost!
