I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 586

Chapter 586: Chapter 225 Empress: Just went out and got home stolen? Playing ball with Xu Qingyi?_2

The Crown Prince pouted, "I’m going out myself, what does it have to do with you? If Father punishes you, I’ll go reason with him... But I haven’t seen Father for a long time, I wonder how his health is lately..."

A hint of disappointment and worry appeared on the doll-like face.

Fan Sijin was silent for a moment, then said, "His Majesty is blessed by heaven, with imperial majesty and grace, protected by the heavens, Your Highness need not worry."

"Really?"

The Crown Prince, after all a child, was easily comforted and grinned, "I think so too, Father is a True Dragon, surely nothing will happen to him."

Fan Sijin didn’t continue on that topic, instead asked, "Your Highness is quite familiar with Mr. Chen?"

"Not really, I’ve only seen him a couple of times." The Crown Prince bit his finger and said, "But he’s different from others, he doesn’t have that serv... serv..."

"Servile fright?" Fan Sijin supplied.

"That’s right." The Crown Prince nodded, "He doesn’t have that servile fright demeanor, and he’s interesting to talk to, far more amusing than those palace attendants who kneel at the drop of a hat."

Seeing the Crown Prince’s eyes sparkle as he spoke, Fan Sijin pressed her lips together, hesitated slightly, then said, "I don’t mean to interfere with Your Highness making friends, but do be mindful of your actions, after all, you are the Crown Prince of the Eastern Royal Palace, every move represents the foundation of the state..."

The Crown Prince pouted and snorted, "But I didn’t want to be the Crown Prince, maybe Father should just have another one..."

"Your Highness mustn’t speak such words!"

Fan Sijin hurriedly interrupted, "If Master Lv hears this, you’ll be punished again!"

At the mention of "Master Lv", the Crown Prince shivered, a look of panic appearing on his face.

"Fan Sigui, I’m closest to you, you won’t tell on me to the Grandmaster, will you?"

"Of course I won’t, but Your Highness should also be careful with your words, after all, there’s no wall in this palace that doesn’t leak." Fan Sijin hinted.

"I understand..."

The Crown Prince responded obediently.

"By the way, Your Highness hasn’t told me yet, what did you and Mr. Chen talk about?" Fan Sijin asked casually.

"A lot! If it weren’t for Chen Mo, I wouldn’t know there’s something more fun than a ball in this world." The Crown Prince said excitedly.

Fan Sijin was a bit curious, "Oh? And what is that?"

The Crown Prince answered earnestly, "Beautiful women."

Fan Sijin: "..."

The Crown Prince jumped down from her arms, looked up with a childish voice, "Fan Sigui, later find a place where no one is around, let me play with your ball, will you?"

?

Fan Sijin’s face turned green, her temples throbbing.

"What exactly did Chen Mo talk to you about?!"

...

Chen Mo asked, "But as an outsider, is it really appropriate for me to be here?"

Xu Qingyi’s expression showed slight unease, she whispered, "Mr. Chen, you’ve already slept at the Yangxin Palace and the Frozen Sky Palace, so what’s the issue with coming to the Palace Chambers?"

Chen Mo: "..."

I guess there’s some truth to that...

Xu Qingyi seated herself opposite Chen Mo, hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Earlier, the Crown Prince said he wanted to reward me to you, why did you stop me from speaking?"

Chen Mo shrugged and said, "It’s obvious the Crown Prince responds better to gentleness than authority. If I had argued further, I’m afraid he would really grant us marriage."

After two encounters, Chen Mo had roughly figured out the temper of this Crown Prince.

Naive, innocent, unaware of worldly affairs, with no airs about him, but very sensitive internally. If you reject his ’good intentions’, who knows what he might do.

"The Crown Prince was just speaking from a child’s whim, no need to take it seriously." Chen Mo reassured, "After all, I hold the command in my hand, as long as I don’t use it, naturally, no one else will know..."

Xu Qingyi bit her lip lightly.

Though the Crown Prince’s edict seemed like a joke, it had the Seal on it, representing the will of the Eastern Royal Palace.

This meant Chen Mo could ask her to do anything at any time...

"He dared to be forward with me before; now, with the Crown Prince backing him, he’ll certainly be unrestrained." She could already envision Chen Mo waving the decree in one hand, spanking her with the other, while shouting, ’By the Emperor’s order, this official is courting, raise your butt higher’...
