I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 644 - 245: The Empress Baby’s Background! First Massage, Then Bath! _4

"What are you doing..."

"Just massaging the shoulders and neck might not completely relax you. Other acupoints need attention too."

"Wait, wait a minute!"

...

...

Sun Senior Palace Lady returned to Zhao Hua Palace.

Just about to enter, she suddenly remembered something, hesitated a bit, but then raised her hand to knock on the door.

Knock, knock, knock—

Then stood outside the door, speaking loudly: "Your Highness, the Chief Minister Zhuang has left the palace."

Moments later, the Empress’s voice came from inside the hall:

"Understood..."

"This palace needs to discuss the case with Chen Mo, you, you go busy yourself, there’s nothing here for you to do..."

The voice sounded slightly trembling, with a hint of oddness.

Sun Senior Palace Lady replied: "I understand."

She glanced at the palace attendants outside the hall and waved, "All of you, leave. Without my permission, no one is allowed to step into Zhao Hua Palace."

"Yes."

The palace attendants dispersed, leaving the entire hall and outside empty.

Sun Senior Palace Lady gazed at the deep palace halls with a somewhat complex expression, sighed lightly, then turned to leave.

...

...

"You little thief!"

"Dare to mess around here, what if Sun Senior Palace Lady hears it?"

The Empress’s cheeks were flushed, eyes misty, glaring at Chen Mo hatefully, "What massage, I think you did it intentionally!"

Chen Mo looked innocent and said, "I was doing it properly, who knew Your Highness would suddenly..."

"You’re still talking!"

The Empress stomped her foot, annoyed, "If you dare talk nonsense again, I won’t talk to you!"

She didn’t even know what was happening to herself; as long as Chen Mo made the slightest move, she completely lost control...

"Don’t know if this little thief is too skilled, or if I’m just too useless..."

The Empress took a deep breath, calming her emotions, feeling completely uncomfortable, frowned and said, "You stay here, I need to go to Xuanqing Pool, otherwise, it’s really unbearable."

Just as she got up, her legs turned weak and she almost fell. Chen Mo hurriedly helped her, "Your Highness, let me escort you."

"No need, what if someone sees? I’ll just call a palace attendant."

"Someone... someone?"

The Empress called out a few times, but no one responded. Even when ringing the bell, no one came.

"Strange, where has everyone gone?" The Empress was a bit puzzled.

Seeing this, Chen Mo suggested, "How about this, I’ll follow behind you, escort you to the bath entrance, and if we encounter any other palace attendants, I’ll head back first."

The Empress thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright."

The two walked out of the palace one after the other.

Chen Mo stayed roughly half a step behind, using True Yuan to support the Empress from a distance, making it easier for her to walk.

But strangely, after leaving Zhao Hua Palace, they didn’t see a single palace attendant, as if they had all collectively disappeared.

All the way along the path through the palace, they reached the pavilions deep in the Inner Court.

Standing in front of Xuanqing Pool, the Empress waved her hand, "Alright, you go back first, I’m going in for a soak..."

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly felt light and was picked up by Chen Mo.

"What are you doing?" The Empress stared at him blankly.

Chen Mo said in all seriousness, "I’m obviously going to assist Your Highness with the bath."

?!

The Empress’s expression froze, stammering, "Who... who wants you to assist?! You just promised me to only escort me to the entrance of Xuanqing Pool!"

Chen Mo boldly replied, "If we had encountered other palace attendants, that would be different... but we haven’t seen anyone along the way. Can’t let Your Highness wash alone, what if you choke on water?"

"Who would choke in a bath!" The Empress’s legs kicked, her tone frantic, "Put me down immediately, or else... or else I really won’t talk to you again!"

"In my hometown, there’s an old saying, ’A soak erases all grudges.’ After a bath together, Your Highness won’t be mad anymore."

"...What nonsense, I’ve never heard of that saying!"
