I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 602

Chapter 602: Chapter 230 Yu Youhan: Xu Qingyi, how dare you steal a man from me?!_4

"Oh?" Yu Youhan glanced at her with azure eyes and said indifferently, "You both left the armpit courtyard together? That is to say, Chen Mo was with you all night?"

?!

Oh no, she let it slip!

But this kind of thing couldn’t be hidden from Her Majesty the Consort anyway.

Xu Qingyi clutched her skirt tightly with delicate fingers and said in a low voice, "Mr. Chen said he had nowhere to sleep... so he... just spent the night at my place... but nothing happened between us..."

"Is that so?"

Yu Youhan snorted coldly and said, "You mean to tell me you two were alone in a room, a man and a woman, and did nothing but stare at each other all night? You think I don’t know your little schemes?"

Xu Qingyi’s face flushed, stammering, "Truly, truly! Mr. Chen was writing all night, and I was just watching next to him..."

Yu Youhan was slightly taken aback, "Writing a book? What book?"

To prove her words true, Xu Qingyi took out a stack of xuan paper from her bosom and handed it to Yu Youhan, "This is the script Mr. Chen wrote, titled ’Silver Bottle Plum’."

"Is there really?"

Yu Youhan took it with skepticism, flipped through briefly, and her gaze gradually became fixed.

This script was entirely different from those prevalent in the market—no flowery language, no sorrowful and poignant emotions. The story was straightforward, yet remarkably engaging, drawing one in without realizing.

She had finished reading the five Chapters quickly, and surprisingly, she found herself wanting more.

"Is this really written by Chen Mo?" Yu Youhan asked.

"Absolutely." Xu Qingyi nodded.

Yu Youhan’s expression softened a bit, and she collected the xuan paper, saying, "For your honesty, since the content of this manuscript is somewhat indecent, it is not suitable for circulation in the palace. I will keep it in safe custody for you."

"Yes."

Xu Qingyi exhaled a slight breath of relief.

Yu Youhan nodded and said, "Let them in."

A moment later, a little eunuch dressed in black sleeves came in, bowed, and greeted, "Servant of the Ritual Department’s Inner Eunuch, greeting the Imperial Concubine."

"No need for courtesy," Yu Youhan said blandly, "What brings you to Qingyi?"

The little eunuch straightened up, looked at Xu Qingyi, and said clearly, "I have come to inform Director Xu on behalf of the Eastern Palace Order that the Crown Prince has already granted you to Mr. Chen of the Sky Scale Guard, and you may proceed to the Internal Affairs Office for the transition anytime, relinquishing your status as a palace attendant."

"By the way, the Crown Prince also specifically instructed that if you wish for a betrothal, you can let him know in advance..."

The little eunuch’s voice grew weaker and weaker, the oppressive force almost condensing the air.

"Betrothal?"

Yu Youhan’s gaze turned sharp, staring at Xu Qingyi, her voice chilly, "Director Xu, is this what you call nothing improper?"

Xu Qingyi hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Empress, let me explain!"
