I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1396

Chapter 1396: Chapter 541: The Empress Filled with Worry! Reunion with the Demon Lord!

"Was it Consort Yu’s doing?"

The Empress and Sun Senior Palace Lady exchanged a glance, their expressions puzzled and confused.

The Creation Golden Pill had not yet been concocted, and logically Yu Youhan should be at the Capital Camp acting as a protector. How did she suddenly end up at Fengqiu, and even destroy the imperial mausoleum?

As the Capital Commandant in charge of patrolling the mausoleums, Feng Jinyuan would lose his head if something went wrong. Naturally, he wouldn’t speak recklessly about such things.

There could only be one explanation...

Wu Lie was likely hiding in the imperial mausoleum, so Yu Youhan acted decisively!

The Empress fixed her gaze on Feng Jinyuan and said in a deep voice, "What exactly is going on, explain everything clearly. If you conceal anything, not even your uncle can save you!"

"I wouldn’t dare!"

Feng Jinyuan’s body trembled slightly.

At this point, he didn’t dare harbor any ulterior motives, and spilled everything like beans from a bamboo tube.

"After the Imperial Consort appeared, she first asked me if I had seen Chen Mo. Upon receiving a negative answer, she flew into a rage, saying things about regicide..."

"I couldn’t stop her no matter how hard I tried, I could only watch as she leveled the imperial mausoleum..."

So that’s it!

The Empress understood.

It seems Chen Mo found Wu Lie’s location and informed Yu Youhan!

As for the "tried my best" part, that was purely Feng Jinyuan embellishing his actions. If he had really dared to stop them, he’d probably have vanished by now!

The Empress didn’t dwell on these details and pressed on, "And then? Did Consort Yu and Chen Mo come out safely?"

"Hmm?"

Feng Jinyuan was momentarily stunned.

He had assumed that such treasonous speech and behavior would surely anger the Empress greatly, but she seemed unconcerned about it and was more worried about the safety of the Consort and Chen Mo?

Bam—

Seeing him delay, the Empress slammed the table, like thunder bursting forth!

Her phoenix eyes shone with a layer of gold, her palace gown fluttered without wind, the powerful pressure almost solidified the air!

"Answer me!"

"Did you see Chen Mo or not!"

Looking at the clear palm print on the rosewood table, Sun Senior Palace Lady was stunned.

Her Majesty the Empress was clearly just an ordinary person, when did her cultivation become so strong?

"Your, Your Majesty, please calm your anger!"

Feng Jinyuan shivered, prostrating on the ground, and said:

"To Your Majesty’s response, ever since Consort Yu went underground, she hasn’t come back up, and Mr. Chen hasn’t appeared from the beginning to end!"

"However, about half an hour after the Consort went down, the area under the imperial mausoleum suddenly collapsed, forming a pit several tens of feet across, and a blood-red creature emerged, seemingly headed straight for the Capital City!"

"I obey!"

Sun Senior Palace Lady dared not delay and hurriedly left Zhao Hua Palace.

The Empress was alone in the great hall, and the air quieted.

She slowly sat on a chair, her face taut, her delicate hands in her sleeves clenched tightly, nails digging into her palms, leaving bloody marks.

"It’s going to be okay..."

"Yu Youhan is so powerful, nothing will happen to her..."

The Empress mouthed to herself.

Time ticked by, and she remained unmoving like a statue.

An hour later, the palace doors were flung open with a bang, and Chu Yanli rushed in hurriedly.

"Li’er, you..."

Before the Empress could finish speaking, Chu Yanli’s eyes scanned the surroundings, urgently asking, "Is Chen Mo here with you?"

"No, I sent Sun Senior Palace Lady to find him." Seeing Chu Yanli’s pale face, the Empress’s feeling of unease intensified, "What exactly happened?"

"Just now, a disciple of the Netherworld Sect came to me, said he’s a friend of Chen Mo, and found a secret passage on the outskirts of West City, which may be related to a missing persons case. Chen Mo went down alone to investigate and sent her back to report."

"Upon receiving the news, I went straight to West City and found the entrance to the secret passage, constructed entirely of Demon-breaking Stones, but the tunnel had collapsed, and Chen Mo was nowhere to be found."

"Judging from the direction of the tunnel, it should lead to the southwest outside the city..."
