I became the demon of the female devil

Chapter 67 Her Royal Highness the Queen invites Lord Chen to enter the palace!

A big event happened in Tiandu City recently: the Zhou family fell!

Zhou Chuanbing, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was stripped of his official hat and thrown into prison!

The Tianlin Guards came to the house to search and seize the family members, detaining all of Zhou’s family members. The confiscated property filled five horse-drawn carriages!

For a moment, the capital was shaken!
In recent years, party struggles have been fierce and officials have often been dismissed.

But it is really chilling that a third-rank official, and the second-in-command of the Ministry of Revenue, fell without any warning!

However, this is just the beginning.

On the second day, thirteen censors from the Censorate jointly wrote a letter to impeach many important officials from the six ministries, and even the vice minister of the Ministry of Justice was implicated!

Officials from the six ministries also began to counterattack, constantly throwing out all kinds of negative information, and the court became a battlefield for fighting between the two sides.

The Eastern Palace held three consecutive days of court meetings as an exception, with impeachment memorials flying like snowflakes from the sky.

This massive party struggle has spread from the officialdom to the streets. In major teahouses and taverns, students from noble families can be seen talking and discussing state affairs.

……

Osmanthus House.

A group of students from the Imperial College, dressed in long robes, were drinking and chatting.

"Who would have thought that Minister Zhou, who was at the height of his career, would fall so suddenly?"

"It is said that he secretly mined red sand and committed the crime of treason!"

A student who took off his Confucian cap and looked wild shook his head and said, "Haha, Minister Zhou is a powerful official. As a beneficiary, what reason does he have to rebel? In my opinion, it must be the enemy's attempt to provoke him!"

Someone else frowned and said, "If there is no real evidence, how can it be possible to bite the third-grade golden body? I heard that it was a clue tracked down by Captain Chen of the Tianlin Guard..."

boom!
The reckless student slammed the table and cursed under the influence of alcohol: "Tianlin Guard? They are just a bunch of lackeys who are clinging to the smell of others! This is most likely a frame-up... Ugh!"

Before he could finish his words, the person next to him covered his mouth.

"Shut up! Even if you don't want your life, we still do!"

People around were also whispering:
"Captain Chen is a hero who killed the demon. He shouldn't be like this..."

"Humph, birds of a feather!"

……

Private seating on the second floor.

Listening to the voices coming from downstairs, Shangguan Yunfei looked strange and said:
"Master Chen, the reputation of your Tianlin Guard doesn't seem to be very good."

Chen Mo sat opposite, playing with his wine glass, and said nonchalantly: "Do you know why the Tianlin Guards are dressed in black? Because we do the dirty work in the dark. It's our duty, so what if we have to bear some infamy?"

Shangguan Yunfei's eyes were somewhat complicated.

The imperial court has always kept a tight lid on news related to the demon race, causing many people to only have a vague understanding of the matter.

But he knew in his heart that Chen Mo's contribution to killing demons and eradicating rebels was enormous!
His father Shangguan Jin returned home after retiring from court, sat on a chair, shook his head and sighed, and finally said only one sentence:

If I had a son, I would want him to be like Chen Jinyan!

Shangguan Yunfei was depressed for several days because of this.

"Master Chen, you are going too far... I came to your house many times before, but you ignored me. But then you and Lin Jingzhu secretly handled the case behind my back. It's really..." Shangguan Yun said with resentment, as if she was a wife who caught her husband cheating.

He doesn't care about any credit.

Instead, he has been holding his breath, wanting to prove himself to his father, otherwise he would not have worked in Liushenmen for so many years.

Chen Mo smiled and said, "Brother Shangguan played a role in paralyzing the enemy. He deserves credit. I will definitely report this to my superiors."

Shangguan Yunfei: “…”

This makes me seem even more useless...

"Forget it, as long as the case is solved, but this dinner must be treated to by Lord Chen." Shangguan Yunfei sighed and raised his glass.

"Of course, I won't go home until I'm drunk today!"

Chen Mo picked up the wine glass and drank it all, then waved his hand, "Waiter, bring me ten more bottles of premium osmanthus wine!"

"Okay~"

The waiter responded.

Suddenly, the noisy atmosphere downstairs quieted down.

All eyes turned towards the door.

I saw a golden sedan hovering outside the door, as if it appeared out of thin air.

The sedan is made of precious golden wood, carved with auspicious dragons and phoenixes, and covered with a gilded roof, exuding a breathtakingly luxurious atmosphere, like a masterpiece of art!
Shangguan Yunfei saw this scene through the window and was stunned. "Why is the sedan chair from the East Palace here?"

Before he could come to his senses, an old eunuch in a blue satin dragon robe slowly walked into the restaurant, looked up at the second floor, and said, "We are following the order of the Eastern Palace to invite Captain Chen to the palace to receive his reward."? !
Shangguan Yunfei looked at Chen Mo in surprise.

The imperial sedan chair from the Eastern Palace condescended to come to this busy street, just to take him into the palace?
Chen Mo also looked confused.

Why is the sun here?

After coming to his senses, he walked down the stairs and came in front of Eunuch Jin.

"Father-in-law, why are you here?" Chen Mo asked in a low voice.

Eunuch Jin said with a stern face, "Neither the Chen family nor the government office could find Master Chen, so we had to ask around to find him."

"..."

Chen Mo was slightly embarrassed.

Damn, I got caught skipping work.

Eunuch Jin cleared his throat and held out his hand, saying, "Captain Chen, please come in. Don't keep His Highness waiting for too long."

Although Chen Mo was a little unsure and didn't know why the Queen wanted to see him, there was nothing he could do in this situation and he could only bite the bullet and get into the sedan chair.

"Get up the sedan!"

Eunuch Jin said loudly.

The sedan chair rose up out of thin air, emitting golden light, and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Only then did everyone wake up from their dream.

The students of the Imperial College had stunned expressions, with disbelief written all over their faces.

"Captain Chen? Was that man Chen Mo from the Tianlin Guard?!"

"He was personally brought into the palace to be rewarded in a royal sedan chair. What a favor!"

"It seems that the rumors are true. In the case of Minister Zhou, Captain Chen did indeed perform a great deed!"

The drunkenness of the reckless student just now suddenly subsided and he looked a little flustered.

When I was scolding Tianlin Guard just now, was Chen Mo listening upstairs?

Why does my neck feel a little chilly?

At this time, the waiter came to the second floor with ten bottles of good wine and placed them in front of Shangguan Yunfei.

"Guest officer, take it easy."

"Uh-huh?!"

Shangguan Yunfei suddenly came back to his senses and realized a serious problem.

Now that Chen Mo is gone, who will pay?
……

……

……

The interior of the sedan chair is extremely luxuriously decorated.

The four walls were all covered with soft yellow silk cloth. The sedan was furnished with tables, chairs, bookcases, tea sets, and even a couch. It was like a mobile mansion.

No manpower required, excellent privacy, low carbon and environmentally friendly, suitable for car sex...

Chen Mo sat on the soft chair, his thoughts in a mess.

If the queen wanted to reward herself, she could just issue an edict. Why did she have to let him enter the palace?

Although he solved the demon case and eliminated hidden dangers for the court, the imperial concubine's party also gained benefits from it.

In recent days, the six ministries have suffered heavy losses one after another. How can the queen sit idly by?
Is he planning to attack himself...

"With all the fanfare, they won't do anything to me."

"Besides, I'm just a small shrimp. It's not worth taking such a big risk for me."

Chen Mo thought in his heart.

At this time, the sedan stopped and slowly landed on the ground.

Eunuch Jin's voice came from outside, "Captain Chen, we're here."

Chen Mo pushed open the door of the sedan and walked down.

I found myself in the imperial palace. In front of me was a towering palace with a plaque above the door that read "Yangxin Palace".

It is surrounded by long red walls, separating it from other palaces.

Why does this place look familiar?
