I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon-Chapter 942 - 351: Empress: I’m Angry, and No One Can Cheer Me Up! (Happy Qixi!)

"If you really starve to death..."

"Alright, I know what to do. You all can leave now." Sun Senior Palace Lady interrupted, waving her hand.

"Yes."

Jin Shu didn't dare to say more and everyone withdrew in response.

Soon, only Chen Mo and Sun Senior Palace Lady were left outside the bedroom door.

"Senior Palace Lady, what exactly is going on?" Chen Mo asked in a deep voice, "Why is Her Majesty locking herself in the room?"

Sun Senior Palace Lady sighed and said, "Remember the night before I went to the Chen Mansion to see you?"

"Of course I remember." Chen Mo nodded and said, "Is it because of that matter? I was just about to come and explain to Her Majesty."

"Listen to me first..."

Sun Senior Palace Lady continued, "Her Majesty got very angry when she found out, so the next day she went to find Consort Yu to demand an explanation."

"The Empress went to see Her Majesty the Consort?!" Upon hearing this, Chen Mo immediately became anxious, "Did they have a fight?"

Sun Senior Palace Lady shook her head and said, "To be precise, they started fighting."

Chen Mo: ?

Sun Senior Palace Lady said, "We don't know what happened between them. When Director Xu and I heard the noise and rushed in, Consort Yu was sitting on the Empress, drumming."

Chen Mo asked in confusion, "Drumming?"

Sun Senior Palace Lady said awkwardly, "On the rump..."

"..."

"Then, after returning from Frozen Sky Palace, Her Majesty locked herself in the room and refused to see anyone. Thinking that only those involved could resolve this, I took the liberty of calling you over."

Chen Mo swallowed hard.

Something's really gone wrong this time!

But it's hard to say who is right or wrong.

From the Empress's perspective, being betrayed and demanding an explanation only to be dismissed, it's understandable her mental state collapsed.

But from Her Majesty the Consort's perspective, the Empress is originally a cunning fox, and had the audacity to confront her. Only spanking her was lenient, not slapping her to death is already showing mercy!

"This mess..."

He couldn't have imagined, in just one day, the situation would escalate to this!

"Her Majesty the Empress isn't injured, is she?" Chen Mo came to himself and asked.

"Her Majesty doesn't allow the Imperial Physician to check, but it doesn't seem serious, probably just superficial wounds." Sun Senior Palace Lady said.

"Alright, I'll go in and have a look."

Chen Mo lifted his leg and walked into the palace.

Watching his back, Sun Senior Palace Lady sighed wistfully.

"For the sake of a man, the Empress and the Imperial Consort have disregarded dignity, truly a source of disaster."

...

...

It was the first time Chen Mo visited the Ningde Palace.

The interior space was vast and ornately decorated, with corridors crisscrossing, connecting the main hall, side halls, and warm pavilions together, almost getting lost, and after several rounds, finally arriving at the East Warm Pavilion.

Standing at the door carved with phoenixes and luans, Chen Mo carefully sensed and discovered his Divine Sense was blocked. It seemed the entire hall was enveloped by an array to ensure privacy, preventing prying.

But it only blocked Soul Power, not sound.

He leaned against the crack in the door, listening closely, faintly hearing a murmuring:

"Yu Youhan, just wait... Ouch, it hurts... It's all that little thief's fault! Convincing me won't be easy this time!"

"..."

Chen Mo's mouth twitched, then he raised his hand and knocked on the door.

The room fell silent instantly, followed by an angry voice: "Didn't I tell you all not to bother me? Can't you understand?"

Chen Mo simply pushed the door open and walked in.

"How dare you! Who allowed you in, believe it or not, I will..."

Before the Empress finished speaking, he had already bypassed the screen, arriving at the Phoenix Couch, and reached out to pull open the curtains.

Seeing the scene before him, he was stunned.

On the bedside were bottles and jars, the Empress was only wearing a bustier, lying on the couch, her backside high, holding Muscle Relaxing Oil in one hand, visible palm prints evident on the fair skin, clearly more swollen than before.

Seeing it was Chen Mo, her expression stiffened, then she turned away.

"Why are you here? Leave quickly! I don't want to see you!"

Chen Mo sat beside her, whispering, "Let's talk later, let me treat your wounds first..."

"No need, don't touch me!" The Empress gritted her teeth, said resentfully, "Go find your Consort Yu, I don't need you!"

As she spoke, she lifted her leg to kick Chen Mo, but accidentally aggravated her wound, her face turning pale as she gasped sharply.

Seeing this, Chen Mo stopped talking and grabbed her ankle, his other hand glowing with a green light as he pressed on the swollen area.

"Mhm—"

The Empress couldn't help but let out a soft hum.

Under the effect of the Vitality Essence, the swelling quickly subsided, and her skin returned to its fair and smooth state, leaving no trace behind.

"Your Majesty, do you feel better now?"

"Your Majesty?"

Chen Mo asked several times without getting a response.

Looking down, he saw the Empress's eyes were red, tears "pat-pat" falling down.

"Boohoo, you little thief, why did you come so late? I was almost bullied to death, couldn't sleep all night because of the pain in my backside, couldn't even call the Imperial Physician... It's all because of you! I hate you so much!"

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault."

Chen Mo pulled the Empress into his embrace, softly saying, "I'm sorry, for letting Your Majesty suffer."

The Empress leaned in his arms, pitifully sobbing, "Wasn't I suffering... It was fine at first, but after returning, it got more swollen, couldn't sit or stand, just had to lie down all day, even my chest was almost squashed flat!"

Chen Mo hesitated, "Speaking of which, how did Your Majesty end up fighting with the Imperial Consort?"

Although their relationship was bad, always at odds, it used to be settled through factional contests, never escalating to pulling each other's hair.

And with Her Majesty's disposition, if she truly intended to kill, the Empress probably wouldn't have made it out of the Frozen Sky Palace.

But he checked just now; the Empress only had some superficial injuries, some bruising, completely unlike the handiwork of Her Majesty the Consort.

"You have the nerve to ask?" The Empress rubbed her eyes, puffing, "If it weren't for you secretly meeting Yu Youhan behind my back, I wouldn't have gone to the Frozen Sky Palace to stir trouble, let alone hit her..."

"Wait a minute..."

Chen Mo's expression became a bit strange, "So you're saying, this time, you started it first?"

"Uh, kind of..." The Empress's gaze drifted as she defended, "It's because Yu Youhan first insulted me as shameless and then provoked me with you, that's why I couldn't hold back."

Chen Mo furrowed his brows, puzzled, "But given Her Majesty the Consort's power, you probably didn't even have a chance to get close, did you?"

"I thought it was a bit odd too." The Empress tilted her head, saying, "Everything was normal at first, then she suddenly became strange, her face flushed, panting heavily, couldn't even speak properly, it was like she..."

Chen Mo pressed on, "Like what?"

The Empress bit her lip, "Like she was being bullied."

Yu Youhan's look was all too familiar to her, because Chen Mo would make the same face when being a rogue in front of the mirror...

?!

Chen Mo felt a jolt in his heart.

No need to say, it must be Hong Ling acting up!

The Empress went to the Frozen Sky Palace yesterday, and at that time he was at Tianlan Mountain... Could it be when the Daoist Venerable was rocking the cradle, it triggered a Dao Power fluctuation, and Her Majesty got forcefully connected remotely?!

At this thought, he felt a chill down his spine.

If Her Majesty truly followed the Dao Power fluctuation there, she would have caught them in the act, and Ji Lianxing's identity would be exposed! The consequences would be unimaginable!

"In a way, the Empress helped divert Her Majesty's attention?"

The Empress, unaware of his thoughts, kept waving her fists indignantly, "I didn't do well this time, I'll surely make her regret it next time!"

You still want a next time?

If it wasn't for Hong Ling suppressing cultivation, it wouldn't just be a swelled behind!

The Busty Empress would probably be squashed into a little bear cookie! 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Chen Mo shook his head, "Although Your Majesty has the Heavenly Shining Seal for protection, you ultimately lack cultivation. For your safety, it's best not to provoke Consort Yu."

The Empress turned her head, sighing, "You think I don't understand? It's just I can't swallow this bitter pill."

"You heartless little thief, always saying you like me, but then you sneak off to meet Yu Youhan's family..."

"I won't ever speak to you again..."

The grievance and jealousy in her words were almost spilling out.

Chen Mo explained, "Two days ago was just a misunderstanding. The Imperial Consort came to talk business with me, coincidentally bumped into Sun Senior Palace Lady, that's all, and she didn't stay over at the Chen Mansion that night."

"Really?" The Empress was half-believing, half-doubting.

"Without a doubt." Chen Mo solemnly said, "When I heard about this, I came to find Your Majesty right away, didn't even step inside the gates of the Frozen Sky Palace."

Upon hearing this, the Empress's expression softened slightly, humming lightly, "That's better then..."

"Does Your Majesty still feel pain? Should I massage it for you again?" Chen Mo tentatively asked.

The Empress's cheeks flushed, "Mm..."
