I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 1314: Chapter 507: Imperial Consort and Empress 2v1! Chen Mo Wants to Be Supreme Emperor!

"Hmm?"

Seeing Sun Senior Palace Lady’s hesitant expression, the Empress furrowed her brows.

If Chen Mo were truly in danger, she wouldn’t dare to be so secretive about it, probably something unexpected happened.

"Enough, then tell the good news first." The Empress said patiently.

"Yes." Sun Senior Palace Lady breathed a sigh of relief and said, "After verification, Mr. Chen has been away from the Capital City for more than seven days, and he’s been at Fuyun Mountain far away. The voice Her Highness heard at Haitang Pond was probably not Mr. Chen..."

"Just as expected!"

"I knew it, the little thief would never treat me like that!"

"It must have been Yu Youhan’s deliberate provocation to anger me, creating distance between me and the little thief... That despicable woman is so cunning. As the Ultimate Venerable, she didn’t rely on force but resorted to strategy!"

With the knot in her heart unraveled, the Empress’s expression eased considerably, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.

As for the reason Chen Mo went to Tianshu Pavilion, it was simple; the formula for the Creation Golden Pill was with Ji Hongxiu. To help Ling Yishan rebuild the Dao Foundation, he had to ask for that Daoist Venerable’s help.

"The situation in the Capital City is unpredictable now, anything could happen, we must try to ally with every possible force."

"Ling Yishan, as the Ultimate in the art of Dao, possesses formidable strength and holds control over the vast Demon Suppression Department, which is crucial for us. Moreover, we need his help to break the Eightfold Exorcism Array."

"Looks like I misunderstood the little thief. These days he hasn’t been idle but has been busy running around..."

Feeling guilty for her previous thoughts, the Empress continued to inquire, "By the way, you mentioned there’s also bad news earlier? What is it?"

Sun Senior Palace Lady hesitated for a moment before softly saying, "The servant also learned that Mr. Chen inherited the legacy of a Daoist Ancestor from a thousand years ago, and he’s opened a forum to teach at Tianshu Pavilion, broadly conveying Dao mechanisms..."

"So, after beating around the bush for so long, you were going to say just this?" The Empress shook her head, "I’ve long known about this, and it can’t be considered bad news."

After returning from the Qingzhou Secret Realm, Chen Mo told her everything that happened there, including the unexpected acquisition of the two Origin Powers of Cause and Effect, and Reincarnation.

As for the preaching, those who understand, understand; it’s merely profound esoteric talk. It’s not some miraculous Spirit Pill that can make one’s power soar directly, but it helps to elevate Chen Mo’s status in Tianshu Pavilion, laying down a good foundation for future court appeasement.

Sect issues will eventually be resolved.

The Three Saint Sect holds an extraordinary position, especially Tianshu Pavilion, hailed as the foremost Daoist Sect in the world.

If even such a colossus submits, what could the small fry possibly stir up?

"Uh, I haven’t finished yet..."

Sun Senior Palace Lady continued to supplement, "After the preaching, Mr. Chen performed a Rite of Dao Union with Ling Ningzhi, the chief of Tianshu Pavilion. Now the two have already become officially contracted Dao companions through an alliance pact."

?!

"What did you say? Dao companions?!"

The Empress’s expression stiffened upon hearing this and she abruptly stood up, "Is this true?!"

"In the past few days, it’s been spreading in Jianghu, so presumably, it can’t be false," Sun Senior Palace Lady said, "It’s said that the ceremony was even personally officiated by the Tianshu Pavilion Daoist Venerable and has been unanimously recognized by the entire sect..."

"..."

The Empress stood dazedly in place, her exquisite oval face full of bewilderment.

The so-called "contracted Dao companions" means that both have been recorded into the sect’s genealogy, justified and legitimate companions, sharing weal and woe, and their relationship can be even closer than secular spouses!

Despite knowing the close relationship between Chen Mo and Ling Ningzhi, she was still somewhat caught off guard by this news.

"After all the precautions, I refused the marriage proposals from the Chen and Shen families and even obstructed Zhu’er in every possible way, affecting sisterly bonds... Only to turn around and find he has tied a Dao union behind my back?"

Thinking of this, she felt a tightness in her chest, like a heavy stone was weighing on it, making it hard to breathe for quite a while.

Seeing the Empress’s face looking off, Sun Senior Palace Lady quickly comforted, "Your Highness, please don’t be too distressed. After all, it’s not truly a marriage; it’s neither through formal matchmakers nor acknowledged by the Chen family’s elders, theoretically speaking Mr. Chen is still single..."

The Empress bit her lip, saying nothing.

Now that the whole world knows they are a pair, what’s the point of acknowledging or not?

However, speaking of it, Sun Senior Palace Lady did remind her, even with a Dao companion, he can still marry!

This time, no one should be allowed to get ahead, otherwise, wouldn’t I really become a wanton woman trying to seduce a married man?

"No, I need to first inform Yu Youhan of this, have her keep an eye on Ji Hongxiu, otherwise who knows what little tricks that woman might play!"

The Empress quickly gathered her emotions and said, "Prepare the palanquin, to Frozen Sky Palace!"

"Yes." Sun Senior Palace Lady, although puzzled, dared not ask more, and turned to leave the main hall.

...

...

Half a Stick of Incense later.

The royal palanquin pulled up in front of the Frozen Sky Palace.

Before Sun Senior Palace Lady had time to open the palanquin door, the Empress had already pushed the door open and stepped down, lifting her skirt with both hands, hurriedly heading towards the palace.

"Your Majesty the Empress, please hold back, Her Majesty the Consort is in meditation and not seeing guests..."

The Palace Attendant guarding the door still tried to stop her, but the Empress’s eyes flashed with golden light, and she angrily rebuked, "Get out of the way!"

With a powerful surge of pressure, the Palace Attendants were struck as if by lightning, kneeling fearfully on the ground, trembling uncontrollably like chaff.

"Spare us, Your Highness!"

"Hmph!"

The Empress, with an icy expression, didn’t even bother to spare them a glance, leaving Sun Senior Palace Lady to wait outside, she pushed open the door by herself and walked into the bedchamber.
