?
The Empress was montarily stunned.
Chen Mo’s straightforwardness left her montarily taken aback.
"Do you have a grudge against Chu Heng?"
"That’s right."
Chen Mo nodded frankly.
The Empress furrowed her brows. Chen Mo and Chu Heng had no apparent interactions; why was their relationship so hostile?
She did not delve into details, instead looking up at Eunuch Jin and asking, "Eunuch Jin, what exactly happened tonight?"
With lowered head, Eunuch Jin said, "In response to Your Highness, this old servant also sensed the presence of a Grandmaster, so I rushed over. By the ti I reached the Imperial Music Bureau, the fight was already over..."
"The butler of Prince Yu Mansion called the Military Prison, intending to take Mr. Chen away. I took the initiative and brought him back first."
At this point, Eunuch Jin knelt and kowtowed, saying, "The situation was urgent at that ti, and I did not have ti to report to Your Highness, thus breaking protocol. I ask for Your Highness’s punishnt."
Seeing this, Chen Mo also knelt with a "thud" beside him, clasping his hands as he said, "This matter arose entirely because of , it has nothing to do with Eunuch, Your Highness should punish instead."
"Wrong is wrong, this servant should be punished."
"One should bear the consequences for one’s own actions, still, please punish ."
"..."
The Empress rubbed her temples, helplessly saying, "Alright, get up quickly, stop this show, when did I say I would punish you?"
"Understood."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
The two stood up swiftly without another word.
"Eunuch Jin did the right thing, no matter what, we should first bring the person back; otherwise, it will only beco more troubleso later." The Empress tapped her fingers lightly on the edge of the bed and asked aloud, "I heard that Chu Heng was severely injured?"
Eunuch Jin nodded and said, "The physical injuries are not too serious; a third-rank doctor should be able to heal them. It’s just that Mr. Chen dealt another blow in the end, causing severe damage to Heir Chu’s Divine Soul..."
Chen Mo’s Soul Power was too strong, far exceeding that of cultivators at the sa level.
Moreover, this ti, he intended to kill, fully unleashing Soul Slash without holding back. A regular Martial Artist would have either died or beco a vegetable.
Chu Heng’s foundation and thods were naturally far beyond those of ordinary Martial Artists, but it was still enough to trouble him greatly.
The Empress pondered for a while and asked, "How many witnesses were there to the entire fight?"
"Many, the commotion was too great at the ti, and since it was also night, there were probably over a hundred guests who witnessed the scene." Eunuch Jin replied.
Upon hearing this, the Empress’s brows furrowed even more.
Eunuch Jin stepped forward two steps and whispered, "Your Highness, Prince Yu Mansion will definitely not let this go, and the Six Ministries will certainly seize the opportunity to cause trouble... Mr. Chen is best to stay in the palace for now, if he shows up recklessly, it’s feared there will be big trouble..."
The Empress pondered for a mont, nodded, and said, "I understand, you may go now, keep an eye on Prince Yu Mansion, and report imdiately if anything happens."
"Yes."
Eunuch Jin bowed and retreated.
Sun Senior Palace Lady also left the hall, closing the door tightly, leaving only the Empress, Lin Jingzhu, and Chen Mo in the hall.
"Chen Mo, co here."
The Empress’s voice ca from behind the screen.
Chen Mo walked forward as instructed, bypassing the screen, and saw the Empress reclining on a small couch. Her figure was voluptuous, her deanor languid, reminiscent of a mature next-door woman.
anwhile, Lin Jingzhu sat obediently beside her, with delicate and refined features, her pale skin as clear as ice.
Both faces, one mature and the other pure, seed like two blooming peach blossoms, indescribably beautiful.
"Your Highness..."
Standing with head bowed, Chen Mo appeared honest and sincere.
The Empress said coldly, "Do you regret it now? What were you thinking when you acted! Last ti, the matter at Jian Yinshan was barely justifiable, and now you’ve caused such a big ss... What do you expect to say?"
"Indeed, I regret it..."
Chen Mo shook his head and said, "Regret not being ruthless enough, not being able to kill Chu Heng on the spot."
"..."
The Empress’s chest heaved, and she bit her lip lightly.
This guy, he’s determined to drive to death!
"Aunt, calm down, Mr. Chen must have his reasons for doing so." Lin Jingzhu gently stroked the Empress’s heaving chest and blinked at Chen Mo, "Mr. Chen, you better explain, what exactly happened?"
The Empress was also puzzled.
Though this little thief’s character was sowhat ridiculous, he had always been asured in major issues and would never act without reason.
"What kind of grudge do you and Chu Heng have that it had to co to this?"
Chen Mo hesitated slightly and said, "Chu Heng has attempted against multiple tis, intending to kill ... Last ti I got caught in the Demon Clan’s ambush at West Desolate Mountain and was forced to flee to the Southern Border; that was Chu Heng’s doing."
With these words, the atmosphere instantly froze!
The Empress’s pupils narrowed slightly, and she said in a deep voice, "You an Chu Heng colluded with the Demon Clan?"
Since he had co this far, Chen Mo no longer held back and nodded, "When I cracked the Zhou Family Case, I had examined the mory of the Demon Clan involved; the instigator was Chu Heng, aiming to destroy the Eightfold Exorcism Array..."
?!
Lin Jingzhu gasped in shock, taking a sharp breath.
"Chu Heng was the mastermind behind the Zhou Family Case?!"
Lin Jingzhu had been involved throughout the case and naturally knew how far-reaching it was!
So, it was the Princely Heir’s work?! This was no longer re rebellion; it was outright treason!
A cold gleam flickered in the Empress’s eyes, yet her expression remained calm, seemingly not particularly surprised by such a bombshell revelation.
With almond-shaped eyes locked onto Chen Mo, she asked, "Such an important matter, why have you never ntioned it to ?"
Chen Mo shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "Chu Heng is extrely cautious, using the Creation Gold Contract to bind Zhou Jing’an as his White Gloves. No evidence was left behind throughout the process; I can’t make baseless accusations against the Prince Mansion’s Heir..."
