I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon-Chapter 1050 - 389: Empress Baby Takes a Bath! "Little Thief, Let’s Elope!" (2)

This trip to the Southern Border, Chu Yanli truly witnessed Chen Mo's abilities.

On the first day in Bailu City, he discovered the Barbarian Slave trade and identified the key figures Tang Xingbang and Hua Yinglan.

The next day, he found the location of the Gu God Sect, ventured in alone, killed four Grandmasters, and saved hundreds of lives... Even when she was about to give up, he brought back the vanished Barbarian Slaves and obtained a list of involved personnel.

One could say that the success of this operation was almost entirely due to his efforts!

"Such talent, it's a pity if he can't be used by the Great Yuan..."

Watching Chen Mo's distant figure, a complex emotion flashed in Chu Yanli's eyes.

Although he is currently working for the court, it's due to his current status. If the Empress were truly determined to step down from her position in the Eastern Royal Palace, with his personality, he might just abandon everything.

She originally intended to bind Chen Mo with the title of Prince Consort, but now it seems he has no such intentions.

Moreover, Consort Yu and the Empress would not agree to it either.

"If you can't beat them, join them. What if I cook the rice before he realizes..."

A thought flashed through Chu Yanli's mind, and then she shook her head vigorously, a hint of blush on her cheeks, and murmured, "What am I thinking, that's utterly ridiculous..."

But for some reason, her heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

...

...

Chen Mo followed the Empress and arrived inside the inner chambers.

Entering the bedchamber, the door was closed tightly. The Empress sat on a chair, her pretty face stern, silently gazing at him.

Bewildered, Chen Mo cautiously asked, "Your Highness, what's the matter?"

"Do you even see me as your Highness?" The Empress furrowed her delicate brows and said sternly, "Why didn't you inform anyone and went after the Barbarian Slaves alone? What if there was an ambush in that tunnel?"

The last explosion case in the Capital City had left her with considerable psychological trauma.

The mastermind behind it was evidently connected to Chu Heng. If Intense Burning Powder had been set in advance, waiting for Chen Mo to take the bait, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Don't think you can act without caution just because you've been lucky so far. Always be wary of potential dangers." The Empress bit her lip and said softly, "If something were to happen to you, what would I do?"

Knowing that the Empress was concerned about him, Chen Mo smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know my limits. I haven't even married Your Highness yet, I can't afford to die."

"Pfft, don't talk nonsense about dying."

The Empress glared at him.

Seeing the weariness between his brows, she couldn't bear to scold him further.

From the moment he landed in Bailu City, Chen Mo had been in nonstop action, not to mention having faced multiple Grandmaster Strong Persons in succession. Even an iron man would be exhausted.

"I'll have someone bring you a bucket of hot water, so you can have a relaxing bath." The Empress said as she got up and walked towards the door.

"No need to trouble yourself, there's a ready one right here."

Chen Mo noticed the wooden tub behind the screen and walked over.

The tub was filled with clear water, and a few petals floated on the surface, emitting a subtle, captivating fragrance.

"No, that's the used water from my bath. I haven't had a chance to change it yet."

"Even better."

"?"

Chen Mo took off his robe and underwear, revealing his sturdy physique, and stepped directly into the water.

Activating his True Yuan, the water quickly warmed up, soon steaming. He leaned back in the tub, his hands resting on the edge, letting out a contented sigh.

"Comfortable~"

"..."

The Empress's cheeks turned rosy. She softly cursed but found she had no way of dealing with him.

After hesitating for a moment, she gracefully approached on lotus feet, her palace gown and undergarments slipping onto the screen.

With a splash—

Water sounded.

Chen Mo then felt a smooth weight press against his thigh.

Looking up, he was momentarily stunned. The Empress sat straddling him, her fair skin like exquisite jade, arms wrapped around her body, unsuccessfully hiding her voluptuousness. A faint blush spread from her neck to her collarbone.

"Your Highness, you are..."

"I haven't washed properly. Can't I bathe again?" The Empress's gaze was evasive, her ears a deep red.

"Of course." Chen Mo chuckled, pulling her into his embrace, his fingers lightly brushing her soft waist.

A tingling sensation akin to electricity surged through her, leaving the Empress flustered. Instinctively, she grasped his mischievous hand, yet this exposed her upper body, forcing her to submerge everything below her neck in the water…

"W-wait, don't act recklessly. I actually have something important to ask you." The Empress trembled all over, speaking haltingly as he teased her.

Chen Mo temporarily ceased his actions, raising an eyebrow and said, "What's so mysterious that it must be discussed in private?"

The Empress patted her flushed face, calming down a bit, then asked, "You didn't tell Li'er the truth, did you? Have you already seen the mastermind?"

Chen Mo didn't seem surprised, countering, "Why would Your Highness think so?"

"The other side has been plotting for such a long time, even installing Demon-breaking Stones in the cabin. How could this underground tunnel be found so easily?" The Empress shook her head, "Moreover, the list seems too thorough, and the ink is still fresh, almost as if left on purpose..."

"Your Highness is indeed perceptive." Chen Mo nodded in admiration.

The Empress pursued, "So, who is it?"

Chen Mo confessed, "It's someone from the Qi Family."

"The Qi Family?"

The Empress's eyes flickered slightly, "It's them? Then why did you deliberately hide this matter?"
