I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 1376: Chapter 531: Wardrobe Accident! Collapsing Empress!_3

"Where are those Astronomical Observatory officials now? Have the numbers been checked?"

"Most of them are recuperating at the government office in West City, except for the Director, there’s also a Left Assistant Director missing... does Mr. Chen want to go over and take a look?"

"No need, it’s already too late."

Chen Mo’s eyes turned cold.

Obviously, that Left Assistant Director was someone Wu Lie had planted, who stole the Heavenly Observation Mirror at the first sign of chaos.

Inside was the evidence of Wu Lie’s conspiracy against Empress Xu, which could clear the Xu Family of any wrongdoing. Now that both sides are at a point of no return, its usefulness is minimal, so he didn’t pay it much mind.

Now it seems, the Heavenly Observation Mirror holds a more special significance for Wu Lie.

"What exactly does he intend to do?"

Chen Mo pondered for a long time, unable to find a clue.

Perhaps he still needs to ask Chu Yanli; after all, she was the one who hid that Image Stone in the first place and should have a better understanding of the Heavenly Observation Mirror’s purpose.

With this in mind, Chen Mo no longer hesitated, cupped his hands, and said, "Thank you, Captain Ji, I have matters to attend to, I’ll take my leave first."

"Mr. Chen, take care, feel free to ask if you need any help."

"Commander, please stay."

Watching Chen Mo leave, Ji Jingyu let out a deep breath, his gaze showing a bit of solemnity.

As a Martial Cultivator at the Heavenly Human Realm, he is particularly sensitive to murderous intent, and even though Chen Mo’s energy was extremely restrained, he felt a sense of oppression.

In terms of Realm, he was indeed above the other, but his battlefield-honed intuition told him that if they were to fight to the death, he would certainly be the one who died!

"The noble families... hmph!"

"Recently, rumors of the Emperor’s death are rampant, various forces are restlessly stirring, even those old guys can’t hold back... but in the end, they’re just fetching water with a basket, because I know, the Emperor is not dead at all!"

Recollecting the day when he saw the Emperor in the Qianji Palace with his own eyes, that formidable energy was even stronger than before, not resembling someone gravely ill and dying in the slightest!

The prolonged silence this time, in Ji Jingyu’s eyes, is clearly just "fishing".

Once those big fish successively surface, it will naturally be time to draw in the net!

"Only by sweeping away the noble families, removing old ailments, can the Great Yuan become great again!"

"Chen Mo is the dragon-supporting minister appointed by the Emperor, and with the special permission from the Central Palace, I should naturally cooperate fully!"

...

...

Ming’an Street.

Every household’s gate was tightly shut, silent and still, as a place where the wealthy reside, news travels faster than with the average person. Now, with frequent turmoil in the Capital City, keeping a low profile is most important.

And since today the Chen Family made such a huge commotion, no one wants to get themselves involved.

Buzz—

In the Chen Mansion courtyard, the air suddenly blurred, and Chen Mo’s figure flashed into view.

The surroundings were a complete mess, with deep impressions of massive palm prints on the green bricks, one could imagine how intense the battle was.

Upon learning that Jiang Wangye was planning to take action against him, Chen Mo had already moved everyone in the Chen Family elsewhere and left Chu Yanli here, setting an effective trap. Now it seemed to have worked quite well.

Arriving at the East Wing, there was only one room with a candlelight on.

Chen Mo pushed the door open and went in, "Princess, I’m back..."

The words came to an abrupt halt.

Seeing the scene before him, he stood dumbfounded.

On the bed lay two women, one with an unfamiliar face, the other voluptuous and dewy, both unconscious, wearing only a dudou, their white skin dazzling to the eye.

Chu Yanli, sitting at the bedside holding a bowl of soup, looked at him and said, "You’re just in time, come over and help me, I can’t seem to get this medicine into them..."

?

Chen Mo’s throat moved a bit, with a difficult tone, he said, "How did you manage to bring them back?!"
