I became the demon of the female devil

Chapter 176 Is the Queen Jealous? Damn you little thief, don't do anything stupid in front of Zhu'er!

(O_o)? ?
Everyone looked at Chen Mo with dull expressions.

They dug deep into the ground in southern Xinjiang and turned over hundreds of thousands of mountains. They thought that Lord Chen had been swallowed by the blood tide and were heartbroken...but this man was actually enjoying himself in the Music Bureau and didn't want to leave?

Qiu Longgang said in a hoarse voice: "Master Chen, have you come back a long time ago?"

Chen Mo nodded and said, "I've been back for five or six days. So what took you so long?"

Qiu Longgang's mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "Ever since Fu Li blew himself up, you suddenly disappeared. We searched for you in Tianzangyuan for several days, but we couldn't find you alive or dead. We thought you had an accident..."

Chen Mo asked doubtfully: "You are all alive and well, what kind of accident could happen to me?"

"..."

Everyone was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to refute.

Li Yuan stepped forward, his voice trembling as he said, "Master Chen, I'm glad you're okay..."

After hearing about Chen Mo's accident just now, her heart curled up into a ball. Her emotions were fluctuating violently. She felt weak all over and her mind was a little dazed.

"Yes, I'm glad you're okay!"

"Master Chen is still alive, it's great!"

"This time we killed the blood demon without losing any soldiers, all thanks to Lord Chen!"

Everyone came back to their senses, looking extremely excited.

Qin Shou, who was standing by, was stunned when he heard this, and then he exclaimed in disbelief:
"You are going to Southern Xinjiang this time to hunt down the Blood Demon? The Blood Demon ranked seventh on the Heavenly Demon Ranking?!"

His voice was so loud that it attracted people from other offices, who gathered in three layers in front of the Fire Department's door.

"Is this true? Did I hear it right?"

"The Seventh Heavenly Demon has been wreaking havoc in Southern Border for decades. His whereabouts are mysterious and he is extremely treacherous and cunning... How could he die just like that?"

"Are you sure it was the Blood Demon who died?"

"Where's the body? Why can't I see the body?"

"Don't say it, with Master Chen here, maybe it's true! After all, he killed the Tenth Heavenly Demon himself!"

Everyone was talking and the atmosphere was noisy.

Li Yuan was a little dazed.

She was familiar with criminal case files and naturally knew how difficult the blood demon was to deal with.

The imperial court had sent masters and powerful warriors to southern Xinjiang several times to punish the criminals and capture and kill this beast, but they always returned empty-handed and didn't even catch a glimpse of the demon.

This time, Bai Lingchuan asked Chen Mo to lead the team to arrest people. She thought it was just a formality and she wanted to gain a good reputation before leaving office.

In the end, Chen Mo actually killed the Blood Demon?!

Li Yuan came back to his senses and asked in a low voice: "Master Chen, is this true?"

Chen Mo nodded and said, "Although I didn't kill him personally, the devil is indeed dead."

Li Yuan's breathing was a little rapid, his eyes full of admiration. In just a few months, two of the ten great demons had been eliminated. What a great achievement!
He is worthy of being the man she has chosen!
"If Lord Bai knew about this, he would probably be grinning from ear to ear."

Chen Mo shook his head and said, "I'm afraid he can't laugh anymore."

Li Yuan was a little confused: "Why?"

Chen Mo spread his hands and said, "Because he has been refined into a ten-fold tonic pill..."

?

Before Li Yuan could react, the atmosphere in the classroom suddenly became silent.

The crowd separated consciously, and two figures walked slowly and came in front of Chen Mo.

The old man in the lead was wearing a blue satin shirt with sleeves and looked energetic. He was none other than Eunuch Jin, the chief eunuch of the imperial palace.

Following behind him was a thin, handsome middle-aged man with a pair of deep eyes like a bottomless pool.

"Eunuch Jin."

Chen Mo bowed.

As for the other person, although I have never seen him, I can tell from the Qilin pattern on his official robe that his official rank is at least above a thousand households!
"I am short-sighted. I wonder who this gentleman is..."

The handsome man smiled and said, "Commander Luo Huaijin, I have long heard that Deputy Captain Chen is a man of talent. Now that I have met him, it seems that the rumor is a bit conservative."

Command assistant?

Everyone present was shocked.

He is a fourth-rank official of the imperial court, whose status is only below that of the commander-in-chief and the associate commander. He is a true high-ranking figure in the Tianlin Guard. Even a captain has to respectfully call him "Sir" when he sees him!

Chen Mo bowed again and said, "This subordinate greets Lord Luo."

Luo Huaijin raised his hand and said, "Master Chen, there is no need to be so polite. I want to thank you for getting rid of a bad apple for my Qilin Pavilion."

When these words were spoken, everyone was a little confused.

Li Yuan vaguely understood something and his expression became more serious.

"Master Chen has finally come to the government office. We have been waiting for several days, but the imperial edict has not been issued..."

Eunuch Jin shook his head helplessly and raised his hands. A golden scroll appeared out of thin air, emitting a dazzling and oppressive aura that could not be looked directly at.

wow-

Everyone knelt down in the teaching field.

"I obey the orders of the Eastern Palace, receive the favor of Heaven, and follow the great plans of the saints."

"Here is Chen Mo, the deputy captain of Tianlin Guard. He is loyal, diligent, prudent, wise and brave. He killed the seventh demon Fu Li in the dangerous land of southern Xinjiang. His merits are as bright as the sun and the moon, and his virtue is as great as the wind and clouds. I will give him special grace to honor him."

"From now on, you will concurrently serve as the General of the Imperial Guards, and your annual salary will be increased by 300 taels."

"Give me a Qilin robe, two jade belts, a Jinxian crown, twenty spiritual essences, and thirty pieces of thousand-woven cloud brocade..."

"All the officers who work with me will be awarded one merit!"

hiss--

Everyone present gasped!
This is actually true! The Seventh Heavenly Demon really died at the hands of Chen Mo!
Qiu Longgang and others looked delighted.

Jiagong is a first-class merit, which means that as long as they don’t make big mistakes, promotion in the future is a sure thing!
"And concurrently serve as a general of the Yulin Army?"

Chen Mo looked dazed and confused.

He knew clearly that it was against the rules to jump three levels in one year. Even if he made great achievements this time, he would definitely not be able to enter Qilin Pavilion... But what about this part-time job?

"The Imperial Guards are the imperial guards, and the Langjiang is a fifth-rank officer, which is considered a mid-level general."

"What does this mean, Queen?"

"You want me to handle cases in the government office during the day and guard the palace for her at night?"

However, before the imperial edict was finished being read, Eunuch Jin continued:

"After a thorough investigation, it was found that Bai Lingchuan, a captain of the Fire Department, colluded with the Blood Demon to massacre the people and attempted to murder his colleagues! His crimes were extremely heinous and he has been executed in Tiannan Prefecture!"

"The Commander Luo Huaijin will temporarily take charge of the Fire Department's affairs. We will select talented people and make further appointments in the future."

"Appreciate this."

? !
Hearing this, everyone present was stunned and couldn't believe their ears.

Bai Qianhu is actually colluding with the Seventh Heavenly Demon?

And he died in Southern Xinjiang? !
They subconsciously looked at Chen Mo. Ever since Chen Mo took over as the general flag bearer, their immediate superiors had died one after another.

From hundreds to thousands of households, there are no exceptions.

Bai Lingchuan was about to step down, but he didn't have a good ending... Is this the value of the Xiantian Sacred Body?

"Cough cough!"

Eunuch Jin cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, please accept my order?"

The Fire Department members came to their senses and kowtowed, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace!"

Eunuch Jin walked up to Chen Mo, helped him up, and said, "The Blood Demon has been causing trouble for many years, and has killed countless people. Now that Lord Chen has eradicated him in one fell swoop, not only has the wronged souls been vindicated, but the people of Southern Xinjiang have also regained a bright future! He has truly made an unprecedented contribution!"

Luo Huaijin also echoed, "Lord Chen is truly a god at handling cases. It is a blessing for the court to have such a talented person."

Chen Mo waved his hands and said, "You two gentlemen are too kind. This is not just the work of this humble official alone..."

"Master Chen, there is no need to be modest. I have heard of your deeds a long time ago."

"Once or twice, maybe it can be attributed to luck, but solving major cases one after another, killing two of the Ten Heavenly Demons alone, no one else can do this!"

Luo Huaijin patted Chen Mo's shoulder and said earnestly, "My energy is limited and I can't do anything else. From now on, I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Chen, to take care of the Fire Department's affairs."

Luo Huaijin has been an official for many years, so naturally he has a clear mind and he is just a vacant position.

His Highness even bestowed the Qilin robe on Chen Mo, so it was obvious that the position of a thousand households was prepared for him.

However, thinking about Bai Lingchuan's fate, I felt a little scared. This kid's reputation of being a nemesis of his superiors is no joke!

He was promoted all the way from the general flag, and he killed his way through the entire Fire Department!

"Fortunately, there is a pacification envoy above the thousand households, so it won't be my turn for a while..." Luo Huaijin silently comforted himself in his heart.

At this time, Eunuch Jin said, "The robes, spirit essence, and brocade that His Highness bestowed have been sent to the Chen residence. As for the Imperial Guards, they are the generals of the palace guards. For the specific matters to be handed over, we have to ask Master Chen to come to the palace with us."

Chen Mo nodded and said, "Thank you for your help, sir."

After a few people left, the teaching field suddenly became lively.

Everyone surrounded Qiu Longgang and the others, and started asking questions one after another. The atmosphere was heated and bustling.

Looking at them, his eyes were full of envy.

Sure enough, following Lord Chen, not only is there no shortage of money, but you can also achieve great things every time!

……

Qilin Pavilion.

Two figures stood in front of the window, looking at the Tianlinwei training ground in the distance.

Yunhe stood with his hands behind his back, brows furrowed.

Bai Lingchuan has always been low-key, with no merits or faults, and his presence in Qilin Pavilion is quite low.

No one could have imagined that this kind-looking old man would actually collude with the Blood Demon... and then be wiped out by Chen Mo!
This is true for both Chu Zhuo and Jian Yinshan. They have been officials for many years without any trouble, but once they become Chen Mo's superiors, their dirty laundry will be exposed immediately, and then they will die...

Whoever becomes his boss will be in trouble!
"This kid is really weird!"

"Luckily I was transferred to the Fire Department, otherwise I would have died in his hands!"

Thinking of this, Yunhe couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling.

Ye Zi'e beside him had a dazed look in his eyes.

"Chen Mo should have broken through to the fourth rank, right?"

"It's not bad to be able to practice with such a genius, not to mention that he also smells like the queen..."

Thinking of this, her cheeks flushed and her breathing became slightly rapid.

If I can use this to break through to the third level, I will surely be looked at with higher regard by the Empress. Just thinking about it makes me can’t wait!
Although she thought she was still pretty, with a slim waist, firm breasts and a nice butt, if she offered herself to men, few men would be able to refuse her.

But Chen Mo is the Empress's lover after all.

He was caught in the act again last time, so he may have the desire to commit a crime but not the courage to do so.

"That's a problem. How can I get him to cooperate with me?" Ye Zi'e pinched her chin, thinking.

At this moment, Yun He noticed something, glanced at her, and asked in confusion: "Why is your face so red? It's as if you took an aphrodisiac..."

"aphrodisiac?"

Ye Zi'e felt blessed and his eyes lit up.

That makes sense!

Why do you have to ask for his consent? Can't you just give him the drug?
"It really woke me up!"

Ye Zi'e turned around excitedly and walked out.

Yunhe asked in confusion: "The court session will start soon, what are you doing?"

Ye Zi'e said without even turning her head: "Buy medicine!"

Yunhe:?
…………

royal palace.

Inside the Yangxin Palace, the queen paced back and forth, looking somewhat anxious.

"No news about Zhu'er yet?"

"Your Highness, please be patient. We have arranged people to search along the way in Jinyang Prefecture and Tiannan Prefecture. Miss Lin is very capable, so she should be fine." Sun Shanggong said comfortingly.

The queen frowned slightly.

She knew Lin Jingzhu's character very well. He would never give up until he turned the Ten Thousand Mountains upside down.

It was a place of poverty, barren mountains and bad waters, with poisonous miasma everywhere and ferocious beasts running rampant. If anything went wrong, she would never forgive herself in her life!
dong dong dong-

At this time, there was a knock on the palace door.

A palace maid came in, bowed and said:

"Your Highness, Zhong Gongfeng has arrived and is waiting outside the Qianqing Gate."

The Queen waved her hand impatiently and said, "I am not in the mood to listen to his report now. Let him go back first."

The maid hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss Lin is also traveling with them. She doesn't seem to be in good condition..."

"What did you say? Zhu'er is back?"

The queen suddenly looked up, then lifted her skirt and walked out of the hall quickly.

Sun Shang Gong hurriedly followed behind.

"Ouch, Your Highness, please slow down..."

……

In front of Qianqing Gate.

Zhongli He stood hunched over with his hands hanging down, while Lin Jingzhu stood stiffly beside him, motionless like a wooden sculpture.

Tread-tap-

Hearing the hurried footsteps, Zhongli He looked up and was stunned.

"Your Highness?!"

He knelt hurriedly and bowed his head, saying, "Your servant pays respect to Her Majesty the Queen!"

However, the queen ignored him and came to Lin Jingzhu, asking with concern: "Zhu'er, where have you been these days? Your aunt is almost worried to death, you know? Zhu'er, are you okay?"

Lin Jingzhu turned a deaf ear and had a blank expression on his face, like a walking corpse.

The queen's heart skipped a beat.

He turned to look at Zhongli He and asked, "What on earth is going on?"

Zhong Lihe explained everything that had happened before, and said, "Ms. Lin was not injured. It may be because she was too sad and could not accept the fact. She chose to escape from herself and fell into a state similar to the closure of her five senses."

"Five senses closed?!"

The queen's face changed, she grabbed Lin Jingzhu's shoulders and said anxiously: "Zhu'er, Chen Mo is not dead at all, he came back safely a few days ago... Zhu'er, did you hear that?"

Lin Jingzhu still had no reaction, his empty eyes remained out of focus.

Zhongli He sighed.

Even if this deceptive method can temporarily wake her up, after learning the truth, she will fall into even more intense grief and be unable to extricate herself...

It's like drinking poison to quench thirst!

Just then, he caught a glimpse of two figures out of the corner of his eye and his expression froze.

"Um?!"

"C-Chen Mo?!"

……

Chen Mo followed Eunuch Jin to the palace and walked towards the inner court.

On the way, Chen Mo said tentatively: "Eunuch, the office is already very busy on weekdays, and His Highness asked me to serve as a palace guard. I am afraid I am not up to the task..."

Eunuch Jin shook his head and said, "This is all arranged by His Highness. We are just responsible for passing on the message. Perhaps His Highness wants to give you an extra salary because he sees that Mr. Chen has made great contributions?"

Chen Mo frowned slightly.

I always feel that the Queen’s intentions are not that simple.

Suddenly, I heard someone calling my name.

Looking up, he saw an old man in coarse linen clothes standing not far away, looking at him with a dull expression.

"Ok?"

"Isn't this the old man who sweeps the floor in Tianwu Field?"

"Got a promotion? Now I have to sweep the floor in the palace?"

Noticing the bright yellow figure next to him, Chen Mo bowed and said, "I pay my respects to Your Highness."

"You've come just in time." The queen pulled him closer and said, "Zhu'er, look who's here? Chen Mo is right here. He's not dead. He's alive and well."

"Chen Mo?"

Lin Jingzhu's pupils trembled as he looked at the man in front of him.

There was still confusion in his eyes, as if he couldn't tell whether this was reality or a dream.

Chen Mo frowned and asked, "What happened to Captain Lin?"

The Queen's eyes were filled with sorrow. She said in a deep voice, "Zhu'er thought you were dead. She couldn't accept it in her heart. She closed her senses and didn't want to contact the outside world... Well, let's ask Envoy Li to come and take a look..."

"Closed perception..."

Chen Mo thought for a moment, reached out and held Lin Jingzhu's soft hand, stimulated the power of qi and blood, and slowly transferred it into his body.

As the heat flows through the meridians, wisps of white mist rise from the body surface.

Lin Jingzhu's empty eyes gradually regained a bit of spirit.

This energy and blood power cannot be faked and can help her dispel the cold poison, which means it is not an illusion and the Lord Chen in front of her is real!
Her lips moved slightly, her voice hoarse and dry: "Master Chen, you...you are not dead?"

Chen Mo took her cold hand and pressed it against his chest, then said with a smile, "Have you ever seen a dead person's heart beat so fast?"

Feeling the pulsation coming from his palm, Lin Jingzhu's eyes gradually turned red and filled with thick mist.

She took a step forward, hugged Chen Mo's waist, her tears soaking her clothes, and whispered:
"Master Chen, it's great that you're still alive..."

"I thought, I thought I would never see you again..."

Looking at the two people hugging each other tightly, the queen had a complicated expression and no one knew what she was thinking.

At this moment, Lin Jingzhu's body softened and he collapsed into Chen Mo's arms.

"Captain Lin, Captain Lin?"

"Your Highness, she seems to have fainted!"

The Queen hurriedly said, "Quick, send the person to the Yangxin Palace! Sun Shang Gong, go and call Envoy Li immediately!"

"Yes!"

Sun Shang Gong left quickly.

Chen Mo picked up Lin Jingzhu by the waist and followed the queen towards the Yangxin Palace.

There were only two old men left at the scene, staring at each other.

"Ms. Lin and Chen Mo have this kind of relationship?" Eunuch Jin raised his eyebrows and pondered to himself: "No wonder Chen Mo and Concubine Yu are so entangled, but His Highness still values ​​him so much. It turns out that he is a family member..."

"How is it possible?" Zhong Lihe was puzzled. "I saw him being swallowed by the blood tide with my own eyes, but he didn't die?"

Eunuch Jin rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily, "If your eyes don't work, you should just give them away. If you hadn't lied about military intelligence, would you have caused such a big mess?"

"..."

Zhongli He's old face turned red and he was puzzled.

He was sure that he was not seeing things. Could it be that this kid could even cross the void?
……

……

Yangxin Palace.

Lin Jingzhu lay on the bed with his eyes closed.

Li Wanjun sat on the edge of the bed, her fingertips emitting brilliant light that continued to penetrate into Lin Jingzhu's body. Her pale face turned rosy at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After a cup of tea.

Li Wanjun cut off the Huaguang, stood up and said: "Your Highness, Miss Lin is not seriously ill. She just hasn't eaten or drunk anything for a few days. In addition, her emotions fluctuated too much, and she was exhausted both physically and mentally. That's why she fell into a coma."

"After you wake up, you'll be fine after a few days of recuperation."

The queen finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "That's good."

Li Wanjun looked at Chen Mo with some curiosity and said, "And Miss Lin's cold poison has been significantly reduced. Lord Chen really has some skills. If this continues, she will be completely cured in no time."

The queen was silent for a moment, then said, "Thank you, Envoy Li. You may leave first."

"Yes."

Li Wanjun stepped back in response.

The room fell into silence.

The queen looked at the unconscious Lin Jingzhu, bit her lips lightly, and suddenly asked, "Chen Mo, tell me the truth, do you like Zhu'er or not?"

?

Chen Mo was a little caught off guard, "Why do you say that, Your Highness?"

The Queen whispered, "A few days ago, Jinyun came to see me and wanted to ask for a marriage between you and Zhu'er."

Chen Mo was stunned when he heard this, "Your Highness agrees?"

The Queen shook her head and said, "I rejected it immediately, but now I think about it, you and Zhu'er seem to be a perfect match, a man of talent and a woman of beauty, a perfect match, and she is infatuated with you..."

At this point, she clenched her skirt with her fingers and gritted her teeth, "If you like her too, I... I am willing to help you."

Hearing this, Chen Mo was speechless for a long time.

"See if he really has feelings for Zhu'er..."

"Forget it. This is a fate that is destined to be fruitless. If I don't cut it off, I will suffer the consequences. It is better to let it go. It can also be regarded as helping Zhu'er..."

The queen felt a pang of pain in her heart, and a sour and bitter feeling spread.

As the Holy Queen of the Eastern Palace, she has been tightly bound by the towering palace walls since the moment she stepped into this deep palace.

The appearance of Chen Mo did add some color to her stagnant life, but she also had unrealistic expectations deep in her heart.

However, now she clearly realizes that everything is just a dream. After a short period of joy, she still has to return to this bleak reality... Perhaps, this is her fate?

At this time, Chen Mo walked up to her and asked softly, "Your Highness always thinks about fulfilling others, but have you ever thought about fulfilling yourself?"

The Queen turned her head away and said, "I don't understand what you are saying."

Chen Mo said nothing more, but reached out and held up the fair and tender face.

A trace of panic flashed across the queen's eyes, and she stammered, "What are you going to do? I warn you, don't do anything rash, Zhu'er is still here..."

Before he could finish his words, Chen Mo had already lowered his head and printed it.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the two separated.

"call--"

The queen's breasts heaved, she breathed rapidly, and her phoenix eyes were filled with mist.

Chen Mo smiled and said, "Your Highness said he didn't like it, but he actually cooperated very well."

The queen glared at him in shame and anger, and said angrily: "You shameless little thief, who told you to kiss me? You acted so recklessly in front of Zhu'er, what do you think of me?"

Chen Mo blinked, "Baby."

Queen: "..."
