I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 762 - 286: Yu Youhan: If They Can Eat It, Why Can’t I? (6K)

Chen Mo stared blankly at Her Majesty the Empress.

Rice paste?

To be honest, it does look a bit like it...

Seeing her calm demeanor, he secretly gave a thumbs-up in his heart, truly deserving of being Her Majesty the Empress, her adaptability is indeed extraordinary.

Yu Youhan seemed not to think much about it, shook her head and said, "No need, you keep it to drink yourself."

"That’s truly unfortunate, you’re missing out," said the Empress as she put away the handkerchief, asking: "I wonder what business Consort Yu has with me?"

"What do you think?" Yu Youhan straightforwardly replied, "You took Chen Mo away, what are you planning?"

The Empress said faintly, "Just discussing official matters, is there a problem?"

"Official matters?"

"Jiang Yuchan, do you think I don’t know what you have in mind?"

Yu Youhan chuckled derisively, her tone carrying a hint of mockery, "What, didn’t get enough last time, and now your backside is itching again?"

?

The Empress recalled the events after she was drunk last time...

It’s not a dream indeed!

She looked somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, but soon regained her composure, coldly saying: "And you have the nerve to speak about me? Wrapped up like a dumpling, that disgraceful look, I couldn’t bear to watch!"

The two stared at each other across the space, sparks flying, the air filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Big sister, don’t mock the second sister, neither of you is that much better... Chen Mo muttered under his breath, clearing his throat, saying: "Both of you, please calm down, this whole thing is just a misunderstanding..."

"You have the nerve to speak?"

"If not for you, would I be so embarrassed?"

Both of them simultaneously glared at this "culprit".

"..."

Chen Mo quietly lowered his head.

Fine, can’t afford to provoke anyone, better keep pretending to be dead.

The Empress took a deep breath, suppressing her anger, and said: "I called Chen Mo over for serious matters to discuss, the case of Chu Heng is no small matter, I must understand the latest progress."

As soon as the court meeting ended, Yu Youhan was already aware of everything that happened inside the Golden Throne Hall, including the testimony and images, and the attitudes of all parties.

She leaned back against the chair, legs crossed, the white ankle beneath the purple iris skirt, shaking her head: "The Empress is really attentive to Chen Mo, sacrificing the Imperial Family’s interests, I wonder what Wu Lie would think of this?"

The Empress said solemnly: "I stand with Great Yuan, not any individual, Chu Heng recklessly harmed lives, suspected of treason, must be severely punished!"

"Heh, sounds noble," Yu Youhan glanced at her, "can you say you have no personal motives?"

The Empress met her gaze without flinching, calmly saying: "Even if I have personal motives, so what? Chen Mo frequently cracks major cases, saves the day, in the future, he is surely a pillar of the court, so even if I am biased, it is justified!"

Pillar?

Chen Mo rubbed his chin.

Being a minister, first supporting Her Majesty the Consort, then Her Majesty the Empress, logically, I should be a "pillar of maids"...

Yu Youhan had no intention to entangle too much with the Empress, after all, that devilish red ribbon could appear at any time.

Just as she was about to leave with Chen Mo, she suddenly froze, as if she noticed something.

Soon, a woman’s voice came from outside:

"Eunuch Jin, why are you kneeling here? Where’s Yuchan?"

The voice had a faintly husky texture, highly recognizable, it was Princess Chu Yanli.

Eunuch Jin was panting heavily, speaking with difficulty: "Her Majesty... Her Majesty and Her Majesty the Consort are in the palanquin..."

"Consort?"

Chu Yanli seemed surprised, "You mean Yu Youhan? What is she doing here?"

"Should be for Chen..."

"Enough, I’ll go and see for myself."

Worried that Yu Youhan might have ill intentions towards the Empress, she didn’t wait for Eunuch Jin to finish, and directly pushed open the tightly shut palanquin door.

Upon entering the royal palanquin, seeing the three present, she couldn’t help but be slightly stunned.

"Chen Mo, why are you here too?"

Chu Yanli’s expression seemed uneasy, her hands subconsciously guarded behind her.

Although her injuries had long healed, what happened yesterday left quite a psychological shadow, now seeing this guy, her butt faintly ached...

Chen Mo bowed his head and said: "Humble subordinate greets Her Highness the Princess."

Chu Yanli felt the atmosphere was somewhat strange, her gaze fell on the purple figure facing away from her, frowned saying: "I remember Consort Yu hardly ever leaves her chambers, why today does she have the leisure to come to Yangxin Palace?"

"What I do, must I report to you?" Yu Youhan replied indifferently without turning her head.

"Not necessarily, I’m just curious,"

Chu Yanli walked over, sitting beside the Empress.

Back in the Capital City these days, it’s actually the first time she’s met Yu Youhan.

Staring at the calmly composed woman across, her white face like exquisite porcelain, eyes sparkling like stars, lips resembling Shattered Jade, as if walking out of a painting, breathtakingly beautiful, flawless in every aspect.

She couldn’t help but sigh, disregarding her identity as the Strongest, just in terms of looks, this Imperial Concubine truly deserves the title of exceptionally beautiful.

Yu Youhan slightly raised her eyelids, her Qing Bi eyes glanced at her, like a basin of cold water pouring over her, the overwhelming pressure nearly solidified the air, even the faint iron taste was discernible in her nostrils.

The mere aura could penetrate the flesh...

Chu Yanli cleared away the scattered thoughts, her expression becoming solemn.

Even with the Dragon Qi’s support, she still couldn’t discern Yu Youhan’s strength.

This woman seemed like an iceberg spanning the ocean surface, what could be seen measured just a small portion, the massive, majestic ice body was eternally hidden beneath the deep sea.

"I heard you took Chen Mo to Changning Pavilion yesterday?" Yu Youhan suddenly spoke.
