I became the demon of the female devil

Chapter 98 The Empress and the Queen collide! (6K)

Chen Mo looked through the palace skirt and looked at the beautiful body in front of him.

Compared to Concubine Yu's well-proportioned and slender figure, the Empress appears more plump and voluptuous, with a narrow waist, wide hips, and full thighs, but all in just the right place, with flesh growing in the right places.

"Fishnet stockings really only look good when worn by mature women!"

At this time, a faint voice sounded:

"Captain Chen, can you let me go?"

? !
Chen Mo suddenly came back to his senses.

He hastily let go of her hand, bowed and said, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I was in a hurry and did not mean to offend you!"

"Not intentionally?"

The queen narrowed her eyes slightly, with a cold light flashing across them.

Just now she didn't stand steadily, so Chen Mo reached out to support her, which was understandable... but he clearly pinched her hard!
As the Empress Dowager who holds the power of heaven, all the civil and military officials in the court dare not breathe in front of her. How could someone dare to be so impudent and disrespectful to her?

She wanted so badly to call in the palace guards immediately and cut this daring little thief into pieces!

But thinking of that breath just now... the queen took a deep breath, barely suppressed her anger, and said lightly:

"Captain Chen also has good intentions, so don't mind it."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

He swore to the queen's jade feet that his hand had indeed slipped...

To disrespect the Holy Queen is a crime of great disrespect. Even if he has ten heads, they are not enough to chop off!

Fortunately, the Queen didn't seem to want to pursue the matter.

"Sigh~"

As soon as the queen's plump buttocks rested on the phoenix chair, her body suddenly stiffened.

It was probably because Chen Mo grabbed her too hard, and the numbing feeling didn't subside for a long time... A barely noticeable blush passed across her jade cheeks, and shame and anger were revealed in her eyes.

"Calm down, now is not the time to dwell on this kind of thing."

"Chen Mo actually has a sense of oppression that is very similar to Li'er's..."

The queen was sure that it was not an illusion.

The eldest princess was able to bear the blessing of the country because of the Heavenly Seal, but what about Chen Mo?

Thinking about what happened before...

Originally, he was just an unknown rich young man, but suddenly he became famous. Not only did his cultivation level soar, he also made many remarkable achievements. His luck was so strong that it was no exaggeration to describe him as "the son of destiny"!

Could it be that……

Does the future of the Yuan Dynasty really depend on him?
It seems that compared with the country, having one's buttocks pinched is not a big deal...

The atmosphere in the hall was quiet.

The queen didn't say anything, and Chen Mo didn't dare to speak either. He stood aside with his head lowered.

"Captain Chen..."

"The humble position is here!"

"..."

Seeing him like a frightened bird, the queen was angry and amused. Where is the courage of this little thief who flirted with me just now?
"Do you know why I called you into the palace?"

Anyway, it's definitely not to grab your butt... Chen Mo thought secretly, and said with a cupped hand: "I dare not speculate rashly, I hope Your Highness will make it clear."

The Queen sat upright on the Phoenix Chair, speaking in a clear tone, "You have made great contributions to the Zhou family case, and you should have been appointed as a hundred households in the Guishui Division, but I arranged for you to work in the Dinghuo Division. Are you dissatisfied?"

When I ask this question, I dare not say anything even if I am dissatisfied!
Chen Mo said sincerely, "Thunder, rain and dew are all grace from the Lord. I am able to be where I am today, all thanks to the cultivation of the Holy Queen. I am only grateful for the great grace from the Lord, so how can I be dissatisfied?"

?

Thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from the Lord...

Hearing this, the queen was slightly startled, then shook her head and said, "At such a young age, you are even more slippery than those old ministers."

Chen Mo was not ashamed, but proud, "Thank you for the praise, Your Highness."

"..."

The Queen's eyes were fixed, and she changed the subject, "If that's the case, why are you slacking off? You are lazy and follow the old ways, taking it easy, with cases piling up like a mountain, yet you spend the whole day in the office enjoying a leisurely life!"

"Are you planning to rest on your laurels?"

"You knew that the imperial inspection was imminent, yet you still dared to be so disrespectful. Do you really think that I will not dismiss you?!"

The questioning was deafening!
The Queen asked Chen Mo to come to the palace this time. Her purpose was very simple, which was to give him a good beating!

Even if you are a genius, if you don't strive for progress, you will be just like everyone else.

A sword needs to be sharpened before it can cut iron like mud, and an unpolished jade needs to be carved before it can shine brightly!

With Chen Mo's ability, as long as he is trained well, he will definitely become a pillar of the Yuan Dynasty. We must never let him go astray!
Looking at Chen Mo's slightly confused expression, the queen's lips curled up inadvertently.

Great, that's the feeling.

Let him feel my majesty first, and then magnanimously forgive him. He will surely be extremely grateful and sincerely convinced by me...

Using both kindness and severity is the way to control your subordinates!
"What do you mean, Your Highness? I have finished all my cases." Chen Mo said innocently.

?

"Done?"

The Queen frowned and said in a colder voice, "Do you know that speaking nonsense in front of me is a crime of deceiving the emperor?"

Chen Mo shook his head and said, "How dare I speak nonsense? Lord Deng has just finished his review, and it is all recorded in the documents. Your Highness will know after reading it."

Seeing how confident he was, the queen couldn't help but hesitate.

Eunuch Jin just brought the documents back and she hasn’t had time to check them yet... Could it be that Chen Mo can really meet the requirements?

The queen picked up the thin book on the imperial desk, and after flipping through it, her expression froze slightly, and her phoenix eyes were full of surprise.

The accounts and government affairs are all good and without any flaws.

And the most important proportion of solving cases...

One hundred and thirty-seven cases, with a detection rate of 90%!
The case records are detailed and the chain of evidence is clear. It is definitely not a perfunctory matter!

Below is the evaluation written by Deng Hongtao, a doctor of the Ministry of Examination:
excellence!

The evaluation of the imperial examination was divided into four levels: competent, diligent, serving, and demoted.

Only officials who are extremely outstanding in all aspects will be rated as "excellent". They are the best in the assessment and will often be given priority opportunities for promotion!

The Queen came back to her senses and looked at Chen Mo, "How did you do it?"

Even if he had three heads and six arms, it would be impossible for him to solve hundreds of cases in just two months!
Chen Mo replied: "I have special skills in handling cases."

The Queen asked curiously, "What technique?"

“Connections.”

"..."

Chen Mo knew he couldn't hide it, so he just told everything frankly.

When the queen heard that he had asked the three officials of Guishui, Binghuo and Dinghuo to jointly investigate the case and even closed the six doors, she was speechless for a moment.

No wonder Madam Jinyun said that Lin Jingzhu has been very busy recently, leaving early and returning late. It turns out that she was helping him with work...

How could this little thief be so popular?
"The government offices should cooperate with each other in a reasonable and compliant manner..." Chen Mo said cautiously.

"I know!"

The Queen glared at him.

I failed to establish my authority for the first time, and I couldn't help feeling depressed.

He flipped through the documents and saw the "Performance Report" page, and his expression paused slightly.

"Is what you said about Jian Yin Mountain true?"

"true."

"Is there any evidence?"

"No."

"..."

The queen's pretty face turned dark. Are you scolding me for fun?

Chen Mo said, "I only know how to handle cases, and I am not good at intrigue or flattery. I have seen what Lord Jian has done, so I will naturally say what I think, without making any complaints."

The queen remained silent upon hearing this.

After putting down the documents, he was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "I heard that you found an otaku in the Jiaofang Bureau?"

?

Chen Mo was caught off guard.

This topic changed too quickly!

And this kind of gossip could actually reach the Eastern Palace?

He asked doubtfully, "After the shift, I went to the Jiaofangsi to relax. This shouldn't be against the rules, right?"

The Queen had no expression on her face and said calmly, "I have no right to interfere with your going to the Jiaofangsi, but where did the three thousand taels of silver you gave me come from? Don't forget that maintaining a clean government is also part of the imperial examination."

"..."

Chen Mo could see that the Queen was determined to find some problems with him today.

Of course, these three thousand taels of silver cannot be said to be the Chen family's money. If it gives the Queen a handle and an opportunity to cause trouble, it may be detrimental to my father's career.

Just tell the truth.

"I have been doing some small business recently and made some money."

"Oh?"

The Queen raised her eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "This is really strange to me. What kind of business do you do that can make so much money?"

She knew very well how evil the Tianlin Guard was, but the internal network was so complicated that it was difficult to clean up.

Could it be that Chen Mo also followed suit and abused his power for personal gain?
Chen Mo said: "I am in the women's clothing business."

The Queen asked, "What kind of women's clothing?"

Chen Mo said with a bit of embarrassment: "As for Xiaoyi..."

?

The queen was stunned for a moment.

Being able to earn so much money in a short period of time, it must be selling very well, and the most in-demand item in the city right now is the small clothes produced by Jinxiufang...

"Are you the owner of Jinxiufang?" asked the queen.

Chen Mo shook his head and said, "To be precise, it should be a partner."

"partner?"

A flash of light flashed through the Queen's mind, and she said in disbelief: "Are you the mysterious Whip Hero?!"

"..."

Chen Mo didn't expect that the Queen had also heard of the Whip Hero's name, and nodded awkwardly.

(ω)? ?

The queen felt the heat rising on her face.

For this kind of thing, she could find out everything with just one sentence. There was no need for Chen Mo to lie... She was actually wearing a small outfit designed by Chen Mo? !

Thinking of how I had taken off my palace skirt more than once and stood in front of the bronze mirror to admire myself...

The queen suddenly felt uncomfortable and overwhelmed with shame.

"You actually have this ability?!"

"But...how do you know so much about girls' underwear?"

The queen was puzzled.

The wonderful design and ingenious conception combined beauty and practicality, and it was a huge hit among the ladies...How could Chen Mo, at such a young age, know so much?

Chen Mo said in a low voice: "Maybe, this is talent."

"..."

The queen remained silent, feeling increasingly depressed.

Originally, I wanted to dampen Chen Mo's enthusiasm today, but ended up suffering setbacks one after another.

Instead of maintaining a dignified image, his butt was pinched...

"Cough cough."

At this time, Chen Mo cleared his throat and bowed, saying, "Your Highness is very busy, and I am afraid that I will disturb you. It is getting late, and I dare not stay for long. Please take your leave first."

Want to run?

The Queen opened her red lips and said, "It is almost evening, Captain Chen, please stay for dinner."

? !
Chen Mo was stunned for a moment.

Although he had eaten with the Queen, Lin Jingzhu was also present last time, and lunch and dinner are not the same thing! "Your Highness, this is inappropriate, isn't it?"

"If I say it's suitable, then it's suitable. Do you have any objection?"

"…I dare not."

……

Hanxiao Palace.

Yu Youhan leaned back in the chaise longue, looking at the palm-sized piece of cloth in her hand, looking somewhat hesitant.

"How could this dog slave design such clothes?"

"He can't even cover up what he should cover up... I don't know what's going on in his mind all day..."

Suddenly, she flipped her wrist and the fabric disappeared.

Soon, footsteps were heard and Xu Qingyi walked into the hall.

"My lady..."

"Why are you alone? Where is Chen Mo?" Yu Youhan asked.

Xu Qingyi bit her lip and whispered, "When I arrived at the government office, Chen Mo had already been taken away by Eunuch Jin. He should be in Yangxin Palace now."

"..."

Yu Youhan’s eyes were icy cold.

The Queen again? What on earth does she want to do?
Xu Qingyi hesitated for a moment and continued, "When I passed by the palace just now, I heard that the imperial kitchen had already started serving food. If I am not mistaken, the queen should want to keep Chen Mo in the Yangxin Palace for dinner..."

boom--

Before he finished speaking, a terrifying pressure came crashing down, and the air in the hall was almost frozen!

Xu Qingyi's face turned pale and he knelt on the ground in fear.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Yu Youhan's palace skirt moved without wind, and a faint light filled her blue eyes.

"First it's lunch, then it's dinner, what's next?!"

"You're pushing your luck... Jiang Yuchan, you've crossed the line!"

She stood up suddenly, her skirt swaying, and walked out of the hall.

Xu Qingyi asked hurriedly: "Madam, where are you going?"

Yu Youhan's voice was chilling and piercing, "Move forward, to Yangxin Palace!"

……

Yangxin Palace.

Eunuch Jin stood outside the red wall with his hands behind his back, looking at the sunset gradually spreading across the sky.

Staying in the palace for meals twice was an honor that no other minister had ever had.

Her Majesty the Queen really favors Chen Mo.

But it’s understandable.

Today, the Yuan Dynasty's officialdom is extremely corrupt and urgently needs to be revitalized by fresh forces to eliminate the bad and promote the good. Chen Mo is extremely outstanding in both talent and ability, and has made many outstanding achievements, making him the most suitable candidate.

The only pity is that the Chen family and Concubine Yu are too deeply bound.

"The phoenix will not stop unless it is on the Chinese parasol tree, will not eat unless it is on the lian fruit, and will not drink unless it is on the sweet spring. If its aspirations are noble, how can it associate with the rebels?"

"I hope Chen Mo can make the right choice and not make mistakes..."

After several contacts, Eunuch Jin saw Chen Mo's rapid growth and couldn't help but develop a love for his talent.

But you have to put your butt in the right place and draw a clear line with Concubine Yu in time...

Suddenly, Eunuch Jin frowned.

There were dense footsteps coming from afar, and I saw canopies like clouds on the palace road. Dozens of palace maids were surrounding a sedan chair and coming towards the direction of the Yangxin Palace.

"Which concubine is so blind as to disturb His Highness's meal at this hour..."

"Um?!"

When he saw the golden-topped goose yellow phoenix-embroidered palanquin and the purple phoenix spreading its wings on the banners behind it, Eunuch Jin's pupils instantly shrank to the size of needles!

Concubine Yu!
Why did she come to Yangxin Palace? !

The imperial carriage stopped in front of the gate, and Eunuch Jin bowed and saluted, "Your servant greets the Imperial Concubine."

A corner of the sedan chair curtain was lifted, and a pair of emerald green eyes stared at him coldly.

Eunuch Jin's body seemed to be bent by an invisible giant hand, his knees trembled, and he fell to his knees on the ground with a plop.

"My dear, this is..."

Eunuch Jin looked surprised and suspicious.

A cold voice came from the sedan chair:
"I want to see the queen. I'll give you three seconds."

Eunuch Jin did not dare to say anything more, and whispered: "I will report it right away."

The overwhelming pressure dissipated, his body regained freedom, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, stood up and walked quickly towards the hall.

……

In the dining room.

Plate after plate of delicacies were served on the imperial table.

Each dish was delicious, fragrant and tasty, exuding a rich essence, and even more sumptuous than the last time.

The Queen sat in the main seat and said, "This is not the first time you have dined with me. You don't have to be so rigid. Just be casual."

At this point, she thought of something and frowned, "You won't faint suddenly this time, right?"

"..."

Chen Mo twitched his lips and said awkwardly: "Don't worry, Madam, it was an accident last time..."

The Golden Eye for Breaking Illusions has been upgraded. With his current level of soul power, he will have no problem holding on for half a quarter of an hour.

However, what happened just now made him dare not look around anymore.

The queen looked at Chen Mo and couldn't help feeling curious.

This man has to practice cultivation and solve cases, but he still has time to design small clothes?

The key is that everything has not been delayed...

She pondered for a moment and said, "I heard that a lot of imitations have appeared in the city recently, and the prices are even lower. I'm afraid you won't be able to make money for long."

Chen Mo, however, looked indifferent and shook his head, saying, "The market in Tiandu City is so big that it is impossible to swallow it all by yourself. Jinxiufang only needs to grasp the high-end customer group."

"For those ladies, what they care about is not the price, but face and status. The circle is so small, and wearing pirated clothes will make people laugh."

"Besides, I have only taken out two or three items, and the best ones are still in the back..."

The queen's eyes lit up when she heard this. "Oh? You mean, you designed other clothes?"

Looking at those sparkling eyes, Chen Mo nodded and said, "Yes, there are some... Your Highness wants them?"

The Queen realized her mistake and regained her composure. She said, "Why would I need your little dress? However, Yang Fengyu from the Clothing Bureau seems to be quite interested in it. He has mentioned it to me several times. In order to improve the clothing level in the palace, you can send some over."

←_←

How could Chen Mo not see what she was thinking?
Even with the fishnet stockings on, she's still being stubborn...

"I will go back and prepare them and send them to the palace. However, some of the clothes are quite... quite bold. I hope Your Highness will not blame me."

"Don't worry, I'm not that old-fashioned."

Seeing Chen Mo being so sensible, the queen nodded with satisfaction.

Thinking of having nice clothes to wear again, and the clothes that were not available on the market, I was so excited that the shame I had just felt disappeared. Although I tried my best to restrain myself, my eyes were still filled with joy.

Chen Mo shook his head secretly.

Although the queen was a young woman, the expression she occasionally revealed was like that of an unmarried girl.

There is a contrast between mature charm and pure innocence...

Tread-tap-

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded.

A palace maid walked in with small steps, her face pale, "Your Highness..."

The Queen was displeased and said, "If you have something to say, please speak slowly. Why are you so flustered?"

The maid took a breath and said, "Your Highness, Imperial Concubine Yu is here!"

The queen was slightly stunned, "Who did you say is here?"

The maid said word by word, "The Imperial Concubine Yu from the Hanxiao Palace has arrived! The imperial carriage is now parked outside the Yangxin Palace. She said she wants to see Your Highness!"

?

The queen frowned.

Yu Youhan rarely left Hanxiao Palace. Over the years, the two had met only a few times. But now, he suddenly came to Yangxin Palace with great fanfare...

Is it because...

Looking at Chen Mo's dull expression, the queen's eyes flashed with a strange color.

"It seems that I have underestimated his importance in Yu Youhan's heart!"

"Since you are here, please come in." The Queen said calmly, "I want to see how a concubine like her is treated in this deep palace."

"Yes."

The maid bowed and left.

Chen Mo swallowed hard.

Why is the Empress here... He was fidgeting, feeling inexplicably nervous as if he had been caught.

After a moment, a figure in a purple skirt slowly walked into the inner hall.

The crimson purple palace skirt fell from her slender waist like flowing clouds, making her figure look even taller and more graceful. Her ink-black long hair was tied up high and fixed with a golden hairpin. Her face was set against the morning glow and her lips contained broken jade. There was not a single flaw in her peerless beauty.

There was no warmth in those emerald eyes, and their eyelids drooped slightly, as if they were above the clouds, overlooking the world, making them seem out of reach.

"I greet you, Madam!"

Chen Mo hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Yu Youhan sat opposite him and said calmly, "No need to be polite."

She looked so calm and composed, as if she was the owner of the Yangxin Palace.

The Queen narrowed her eyes and chuckled, "Since entering the palace, Imperial Concubine Yu has never greeted me before. Are you in the mood to do so today?"

Yu Youhan had no expression on her face and said calmly, "If I come here every day, the Queen will probably not be able to sleep well, right?"

In front of the Queen, she still calls herself "this Queen".

He simply doesn't take the master of the harem seriously!

Chen Mo smelled a strong smell of gunpowder in the air, and his scalp felt a little numb.

Are the two ladies going to pull each other’s hair?
How should I intervene later? Should I hug the queen or hold her down?
The Queen was used to Yu Youhan's attitude. She raised her hand and said, "Come here, bring another set of tableware. Imperial Concubine Yu has arrived just in time. Let's eat together."

"Yes."

The palace maid quickly presented a set of jade bowls and chopsticks.

Yu Youhan didn't comment and just stared at Chen Mo.

The queen glanced at her, picked up a piece of fish, put it in Chen Mo's bowl, and said with a smile: "Where were we talking about just now? Oh, yes, you promised me that every piece of clothing from Jinxiufang must be delivered to the palace in advance before it goes on sale. Don't forget..."

???

Chen Mo's heart skipped a beat and he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Yu Youhan's expression became even colder, and he asked directly, "You also made small clothes for the queen? What's going on with Jinxiufang?"

and also?
Hearing this wording, the Queen's eyes looked a little strange, and she pretended to be surprised and said, "Don't you know, Concubine Yu? Chen Mo is not only a master at solving cases, but also a famous designer. The clothes he designed have been sold out and are widely praised in the city."

"Well, he also said that he would design a few pieces just for me."

Chen Mo's eyes widened, "When did I say..."

hiss!
Suddenly, a sharp pain came.

When I looked down, I saw a jade foot stepping on my foot and rolling it hard for a few times!
"My lady has misunderstood!"

"No, my bones are about to break..."

Chen Mo was in so much pain that he reached under the table, trying to grab the Empress's jade feet.

Just at this moment, Yu Youhan retracted his legs, and Chen Mo blindly grabbed a handful...

It doesn't feel right...

"Ok?"

The queen groaned, her snow-white face quickly turned red, and her phoenix eyes looked at Chen Mo in disbelief.

Chen Mo: “?”
Yu Youhan: “???”
