I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 785 - 294: Empress Baby, Not Empress Sister-in-Law! Is the Princess Seeking a Consort?!

The Palace Square was so silent that one could hear a pin drop.

Jiang Wangye knelt before Chen Mo, his eyes filled with bewilderment and shock.

Although he wasn’t on the Cloud Top Ranking, his real strength was no weaker than the Ten Heroes. Yet in the face of that terrifying aura of destruction, he couldn’t even muster the thought of resisting! He was like fish on a chopping board, ready to be slaughtered!

"Even if it’s an Illusion Technique, this is too exaggerated!"

"And it happened even though I was already on guard, dragging me directly into an Illusory World... This fellow is just a Fourth-Level Warrior, how does he possess such an uncanny method?!"

Jiang Wangye couldn’t fathom it.

Seeing the uncertainty in his gaze, Chen Mo’s lips curled into a cold smile.

It’s actually quite simple; he just integrated "Xu Chen" into "Floating Life Dream." Just extracting a wisp of Origin breath completely destroyed the opponent’s psychological defenses.

This kind of power from a higher level has long surpassed his comprehension.

"Doesn’t Mr. Jiang love to laugh? Why aren’t you laughing now?"

Chen Mo, with his hands behind his back, lowered his eyes and looked down at him, "Let me say in advance, even if you pay respects to me early this year, I have no red packet for you."

Jiang Wangye came to his senses.

Noticing the strange glances from the surrounding Palace Attendants, his face flushed, and he secretly clenched his fists.

Rising from the ground, he patted the dust off his white clothes, but instead of reacting with expected fury, he merely stared at Chen Mo, his voice cold:

"I will remember you, this isn’t over."

With that, he turned and left.

Chen Mo shook his head and muttered, "That’s it? I was waiting for him to make a move, really boring..."

Sun Senior Palace Lady’s throat moved slightly, she asked, "Does Mr. Chen also have a grudge with Mr. Jiang?"

"Not really, we just had a few quarrels before." Chen Mo replied.

Sun Senior Palace Lady was even more puzzled by his words, "Then why did you humiliate him like that?"

As an onlooker, even though she wasn’t clear about what happened, Chen Mo must have used some method to make Jiang Wangye uncontrollably kneel on the spot.

Killing is just a matter of nodding the head.

This Mr. Jiang is also an arrogant character, after this incident, the enmity between them will be hard to resolve.

"Just from his smug look when he came out, one can see that the Empress must have been compelled to make some concessions regarding certain matters."

Chen Mo said indifferently, "The Empress may consider familial relations, but I, a crude Martial Artist, have no such scruples... It’s a pity, in the end, he held back and didn’t take action, otherwise I could have taught him an even deeper lesson."

Sun Senior Palace Lady fell silent.

Was it merely to vent anger for Her Majesty the Empress?

At this moment, a Palace Attendant came out and approached Chen Mo, "Mr. Chen, Her Majesty requests your presence."

"Okay."

Chen Mo nodded to Sun Senior Palace Lady, then stepped up the stone stairs and entered the hall.

Watching that tall and upright back, Sun Senior Palace Lady’s eyes were somewhat complex.

"No wonder Her Majesty is so devoted to him, now I understand a little."

"It’s quite laughable, the old man even asked me to put in a good word for him in front of Her Majesty, even though the two have already..."

"Ahem, well, Her Majesty is bashful, better to continue pretending not to know..."

...

...

Chen Mo followed the Palace Attendant into the grand hall.

The Empress, dressed in a magnificent bright yellow Palace Gown, sat behind the Imperial Desk, flipping through memorials, her beautiful face calm, without any hint of emotion.

"My humble self greets Your Majesty." Chen Mo bowed in salute.

"No need for formalities." The Empress waved without lifting her head, "The rest of you may leave."

"Yes."

The surrounding Palace Attendants responded and withdrew.

In the vast hall, only the two of them remained.

Chen Mo knew the Empress was in a bad mood and didn’t say much more. He went behind her and gently massaged her shoulders.

The Empress put down the memorial and slowly leaned back, resting her delicate head on his chest, speaking softly, "Did you have a conflict with Jiang Wangye outside the hall just now?"

Chen Mo replied casually, "Just a minor friction, he dislikes me, and I happen to feel the same."

"You didn’t have to do that." The Empress shook her head, "Jiang Wangye is narrow-minded, you humiliated him like that today, it won’t be easy to settle this in the future."

"I don’t have deep scheming, I act entirely based on personal likes and dislikes." Chen Mo said with a laugh as he kneaded her fragrant shoulders, "Since he displeased Your Majesty, I won’t make things easy for him either, it’s as simple as that."

"You, always making one worry..."

The Empress lightly bit her lip, her almond eyes misty as she gazed at him.

Although Chen Mo’s actions were somewhat impulsive and childish, they conveyed a burning sincerity, a rarity amidst the scheming and self-interest she was accustomed to seeing.

Which woman could resist such overt favoritism?

Chen Mo was a bit curious, "So, why did Jiang Wangye come to see Your Majesty?"

The Empress sighed, helplessly saying, "What else, of course it was regarding Li’er."

"The Princess?"

Chen Mo realized, "He came to ask Your Majesty to bestow marriage?"

"More or less."

The Empress snuggled into his embrace, adjusting to a more comfortable position, and said, "All these years, Jiang Wangye has been fixated on Li’er, refusing to give up after countless rejections. Now he’s even trying to use me as a matchmaker."

"..."

Chen Mo wore an odd expression.

No wonder just the mention of Chu Yanli made Jiang Wangye explode.

Here he’s asking the Empress for marriage, and on the other end, his beloved has already been won over by someone else, how could anyone keep calm...

"Did Your Majesty agree?"

"How could I, what do you take me for?"

The Empress shot him a glance, saying, "Li’er’s lifelong matters are not to be handled recklessly. Besides, with Li’er’s character, even the Emperor’s words hold no sway, how could she heed mine?"
