I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 630

Chapter 630: Chapter 240 Lady Jin Yun: Sister, this is a distorted love!

Imperial Palace Inner Court, Fubai Pavilion.

The pavilion is situated on Shaohua Pool, with a pointed roof at four corners, glazed turquoise tiles and vermilion beams, a ceiling carved with twin dragons playing with pearls and an octagonal coffered ceiling.

The pool water is as clear as a mirror, reflecting the sky and clouds with the willow trees hanging by the pond. A few red carps shuttle among the green lotus leaves, their tails stirring up delicate splashes and scattering the duckweed, creating ripples on the water’s surface.

The Empress, clad in a dark red long skirt, sits on the stone bench, her black hair tied with a silk ribbon, with a few strands gracefully resting by her fair neck, her waist adorned with a golden sash, outlining her willow-like elegant figure.

Lady Jinyun, dressed in a blue and white ’hezi’ skirt, sits opposite her, holding a purple clay teapot and slowly pouring amber-colored tea into the cups.

One is noble and vibrant, the other intellectual and graceful, like two jade flowers amidst the mountains and waters, exceptionally captivating.

"Sister, please have tea."

Lady Jinyun slides the teacup in front of the Empress.

The Empress lifts the cup, gently parting her crimson lips, takes a small sip, and nods, "Not bad, the leaves from Yun Chuan Gao Ling indeed have a unique flavor. It seems you’re more knowledgeable about tea."

"As long as sister likes it." Lady Jinyun smiles and says, "I have no other hobbies, so in my free time, I enjoy fiddling with these mundane pleasures. Unlike sister, who is busy with affairs all day long and rarely has moments of leisure."

"Free time?"

The Empress’s slender finger circles the rim of the cup, speaking softly, "But how come I’ve heard that you’ve been quite busy lately?"

Lady Jinyun freezes for a moment, puzzled, "What does sister mean by this?"

The Empress glances at her, implying, "First sending greetings to the Shen Family, then visiting Chen Mansion with Zhu’er, bringing gifts in two large chests as if you intended to propose marriage."

Lady Jinyun’s brows twitch slightly, pretending to be casual, "Oh, sister is talking about that. After all, Chen Mo saved Zhu’er’s life, my visit was just to express gratitude."

The Empress asks, "Is that all?"

Jinyun nods, "That’s all."

The Empress narrows her almond eyes slightly, "But I’ve heard that Zhu’er and Chen Mo have slept together?"

"..."

Lady Jinyun’s expression stiffens, a trace of panic flashes in her eyes, "I don’t understand what sister is saying..."

"Don’t understand?" The Empress’s tone turns colder, "Should I call Zhu’er over for a confrontation?"

This was what Lin Jingzhu personally said once when she was caught in bed...

Although Chen Mo later explained it was to dispel the Chill Toxin, she knows well that their relationship has surpassed the boundary of friendship.

It’s not that she doesn’t trust Chen Mo...

That little thief indeed lacks resolve, Lin Jingzhu may be young, but she has ice-like skin and bones, a heavenly beauty... Facing such a lovely person, coupled with Lady Jinyun’s instigation, it might really lead to significant trouble!

The Empress nods, "Indeed this occurred."

Jinyun asks, "What does sister intend to do about it?"

The Empress crosses her legs and smirks coldly, "Chen Mo is young and vigorous, naturally impulsive, but some people truly lack clarity... A bunch focused solely on their self-interest, entirely ignoring the bigger picture!"

"It seems the Zhou Family incident hasn’t taught them a lesson!"

"If Chu Heng indeed has ties with the Demon Clan, then it’s a matter of principle, an indulgence of imperial family kin cannot be tolerated!"

Lady Jinyun breathes a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

After all, with the issue having blown up so vastly, she feared the Empress might succumb to pressure and push Chen Mo to bear the brunt for silencing public criticism...

Where would she find such an ideal son-in-law then?

"However, it is surprising that the Crown Prince personally attended the court, leaving me somewhat astonished." The Empress squints her eyes, pondering, "Qianji Palace has been quiet these past two years, yet now steps into court affairs making me uneasy with a foreboding."

"The Crown Prince?"

Lady Jinyun recalls something and her expression turns somber, "Could it be because of that past event..."

The Empress shakes her head, "It’s mere speculation, without any concrete evidence... Nevertheless, I can sense the Emperor grows restless, otherwise he wouldn’t deploy Lv Huaiyu to probe Chen Mo."
