I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 758 - 284: Who’s Sneaking Food? Her Majesty the Empress Summons!

Eunuch Jin frowned at these words, pondering, "From the look of the image just now, it seems some force is preventing Chu Heng from continuing... Moreover, there are many doubts about this case, like the Red Sand Mine that has been dug up, but hasn’t been found yet..."

The Empress tapped her slender fingers on the armrest and said, "Things have reached this point, no matter who is behind Chu Heng, it can’t be delayed any longer. It’s expected to be resolved around the Longevity Festival, so preparations must be made in advance..."

"Have Chen Mo come to the palace, I have some matters to discuss with him in detail."

"This..."

Eunuch Jin appeared hesitant.

The Empress asked in confusion, "Is there a problem?"

Eunuch Jin quickly shook his head and said, "No, nothing."

The Empress stared at him with her phoenix-like eyes, "I’ll give you one last chance, tell the truth, what happened to Chen Mo?"

Eunuch Jin hesitated a bit and said, "It’s nothing major, it’s just that yesterday I heard Mr. Chen went to Changning Pavilion, and after coming out, he met Miss Lin and Director Xu..."

The Empress was momentarily stunned, "And then?"

Eunuch Jin said in a low voice, "Then the three of them went to the Imperial Court, they didn’t come out all night, and it’s unknown if they’ve left by now..."

Empress: ?

...

...

Palace Chambers.

As daylight shone brightly, the warm sunlight filtered through the window lattices into the room.

Chen Mo gradually woke up, finding himself lying on a bed, surrounded by draped curtains and a rich fragrance lingering around his nose.

He just intended to sit up but realized he was tightly restrained and couldn’t move.

Xu Qingyi was lying on his left, hugging his arm, her elbow buried in lush softness, while Lin Jingzhu lay on his right, her long, snow-white legs entwined around his waist, with Little Grapefruit sticking close to his cheek.

Recalling the events of yesterday, Chen Mo couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on.

He jokingly told Xu Qingyi to "grind the ink", considering her shy nature, she would unlikely make a move.

Unexpectedly, Lin Jingzhu, after reading the plot in the book, joined in, insisting on playing the book’s role like Xu Qingyi, which almost led to a squabble between them.

Lin Jingzhu first showed her stance by giving Chen Mo a kiss, which provoked Xu Qingyi, who started rubbing against him anxiously.

However, due to lack of experience, before Chen Mo could do anything, she herself couldn’t hold on any longer...

Disrupted by the two, the brush alternated between being wet and dry until the sky turned completely dark and Chen Mo barely managed to write the content of ten Chapters.

The curfew was already in place in the palace, forcing them to stay the night, and since the bed was not large, the three squeezed together like this until they barely fell asleep by midnight.

"What a mess..."

Chen Mo shook his head.

While the two were still asleep, he planned to sneak away, otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to get away later.

Carefully lifting Lin Jingzhu’s long leg, just as he was about to withdraw his arm, a soft hum came from beside him:

"Mmm~"

Lin Jingzhu opened her sleepy eyes, seeing Chen Mo, her pretty face showed a smile, playfully saying, "Mr. Chen, you’re awake~"

"No." Chen Mo closed his eyes again.

"Liar, I saw you open your eyes." Lin Jingzhu lay on his chest, still half asleep, instinctively seeking his lips like a reflex.

Ding Xiang, as soft as a cat, stretched out, licking Chen Mo’s neck, causing him to feel a ticklish sensation.

"Wait, Director Xu is still..."

Just as Chen Mo was about to speak, her pearly teeth nipped at his lips.

"Mmm..."

In a half-awake state, Xu Qingyi seemed to sense something, her lashes trembled, and her eyelids slowly lifted.

Seeing the scene before her, her expression slightly stiffened, but then quickly understood.

"Still kissing? Haven’t you two had enough?"

Watching them act as if nobody was there, Xu Qingyi’s chest heaved, her eyes filled with annoyance.

Remembering her embarrassing state from last night, her gaze drifted downward, her silver teeth clenched, as she leaned in closer.

?!

Chen Mo’s body suddenly tensed, his eyes widening.

Lin Jingzhu sensed something amiss, raised her delicate head, and asked, "What happened?"

"N-nothing..."

If Lin Jingzhu turned around, she would see Xu Qingyi diligently grinding the ink.

To prevent this from happening, Chen Mo’s hand slid down her waistline, and her body instantly softened, her face flushing, as she foolishly said, "Husband, later I want to go wash at Xuanqing Pool, will you accompany me so we can avoid that eyesore of a woman..."

"Mmm!"

Xu Qingyi grew more frustrated, increasing her efforts.

Chen Mo could only coax Lin Jingzhu while enduring the inhuman treatment.

...

...

An hour later.

Chen Mo pushed open the door and walked out of the Palace Chambers, followed silently by the two girls.

Lin Jingzhu believed she got away with her little indulgence, her steps light, her mouth carrying a smug smile.

In contrast, the actual culprit, Xu Qingyi, kept her head low, her cheeks burning like they were on fire.

In the final moments, to avoid being discovered, in desperation, she could only...

Thinking of this, she wished she could find a hole to hide in.

The three walked along the palace path out of the Imperial Court.

Xu Qingyi said softly, "There are matters on the Empress’s side, I’ll go ahead, farewell."

"Goodbye, Director Xu." Lin Jingzhu waved, then held onto Chen Mo’s arm, "Mr. Chen, let’s go too."

"Mr. Chen?"

She called twice, but there was no response.

Chen Mo stared blankly ahead, like a petrified statue.

Lin Jingzhu was puzzled, and as she followed his line of sight, she too was stunned.

Only to see a luxurious royal palanquin stopped not far away, and Eunuch Jin, wearing a Sea Water River Edge Shirt, approaching them.

"Mr. Chen, Her Majesty the Empress summons you."

"..."

Chen Mo’s mouth twitched slightly, quietly saying, "Eunuch, could you just pretend you didn’t see me?"

Eunuch Jin shook his head and said, "What do you guess?"

"I guess you can."

"Guess again."

"..."
