I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 991

Chapter 991: Chapter 368: The Empress Is Exposed! Empress: I’m Going to the Southern Border! (3)

"Apparently, Zhong Lihe should have sent a message back; could something have happened unexpectedly?"

Thinking of this, the Empress shook her head vigorously, dispelling the stray thoughts from her mind, "No news is the best news. Chen Mo, the kind-hearted soul, must be perfectly alright."

"But..."

"I really miss him..."

Usually, Chen Mo would always devise clever tricks to tease her. Seeing that rascal would make her heart race and her legs weak, and now that he was not by her side, she felt a strong sense of longing.

The Empress squirmed uncomfortably, her cheeks blushing slightly.

Knock, knock, knock—

At that moment, the door suddenly knocked.

Sun Senior Palace Lady’s voice sounded, "Your Highness, Zhong Lihe has sent a message back."

?

The Empress was momentarily stunned; it really seemed that she thought of it and it appeared, "Come in."

Sun Senior Palace Lady pushed the door open, approached, and presented a Jade Talisman, "Please have a look, Your Highness."

The Empress took the Jade Talisman, her mind immersed in it.

Soon, her brows furrowed tightly, her eyes filled with astonishment.

Zhong Lihe had transmitted all the details from the investigation, leaving nothing to spare.

She never expected that the Gu God Sect would still harbor wicked intentions, attempting to rise again, not only controlling court officials but also planning to sacrifice thousands of city dwellers!

Luckily, Chen Mo arrived in time, preventing a major disaster!

"Well done! This man truly deserves my admiration!"

"Now it seems sending him to the Southern Border made sense; anyone else would definitely not handle it smoothly..."

The Empress’s lips curled up slightly, feeling delighted, "My little thief is the most capable~"

However, shortly after, her smile froze.

At the end of the report, a mysterious woman was mentioned briefly who was accompanying Chen Mo, initially presumed to be in a realm likely above First Grade!

Yet she seemed to bear no hostility, possibly protecting him from the shadows...

"A Heavenly Person willingly playing the role of a simple escort, serving as Chen Mo’s close protector?"

The Empress did not need to guess.

It was either Ji Hongxiu or Yu Youhan!

Considering they departed from the Capital City and Ye Zi’e’s identity, the possibility of Yu Youhan was extremely high!

But this was just speculation, practical verification was necessary...

Swoosh—

The Empress suddenly stood up, her voluptuous form swaying, causing a large splash.

She then stepped out of the pool, picked up the bathrobe nearby, and said, "Prepare the royal palanquin, heading to the Frozen Sky Palace!"

?

Sun Senior Palace Lady did not react in time.

In the late night, why was the Empress going to see Consort Yu?

Could it be they were going to spank each other again?

"What are you standing there for? Go quickly!"

"Yes!"

...

...

Frozen Sky Palace.

The moon was bright, stars sparse; the lamps within the sleeping chambers were all dimmed.

Xu Qingyi sat on the steps, immersed in the moonlight, captivated by a booklet.

Xu Qingyi’s throat moved slightly, she softly stated, "Your Highness, the Empress went out for some matters and hasn’t returned yet."

"Not here?"

The Empress’s slender hand tightened in her sleeve, she asked, "When did Consort Yu leave the palace? Did she mention what she intended to do?"

Xu Qingyi replied honestly, "The Empress left on the day of Wuchen, but she didn’t specify what she planned to do to me..."

Today is the day of Jiazi, Wuchen happened to be six days ago, just a day before Chen Mo left the Capital City!

The Empress already had the answer in her mind, her face sinking, she turned and boarded the royal palanquin.

"Return to the palace!"

Sun Senior Palace Lady exclaimed loudly.

The palanquin soared into the sky, leaving swiftly.

"Safe journey, Your Highness."

This rapid sequence of actions left everyone bewildered, dazed in their spots.

Xu Qingyi narrowed her brows, an inexplicable bad feeling emerging in her heart.

"What’s really happening..."

...

...

The royal palanquin silently glided through the air after leaving Qianqing Gate.

Though Sun Senior Palace Lady was somewhat clueless, she could sense the Empress’s mood was off, following quietly, not daring to ask.

Moments later, the Empress’s voice emitted from within the palanquin, "Prepare, I need to leave the palace."

Sun Senior Palace Lady inquired, "Are you heading to Lin Residence?"

The Empress responded blandly, "No, I’m going to the Southern Border."
