The next day, the glaring sunlight slanted into the room, causing Qiao Qiao to unconsciously open her eyes with a frown. The aching pain all over her body caused her to truly feel that everything that happened last night was real.

She reached out a hand to the side, only to find that there was no one beside her.

Last night, Yan Mo Chen had taken her on countless times before she could reject him, causing her lower body to be so limp that she couldn't get up from the bed. Still feeling indignant, Qiao Qiao endured the pain in his body, got up and put on a thin layer of clothes, and a pair of shoes.

"Empress, you've gotten up." When a pretty and delicate looking palace maid heard the noise within the room, she quickly entered the room with a basin full of water and greeted Qiao Qiao respectfully.

Joe was still startled. The Empress?

"Sir Jiang came to visit the Empress very early in the morning, but was rejected by the Emperor. He said that the Empress was probably too exhausted to entertain guests, so …" Yesterday night, she had been guarding the entrance of the Palace. The Empress's voice had not died down until the early hours of the morning, so even the entire Imperial Palace would be able to hear it, so she naturally did not dare to barge in and disturb the Empress. As she thought this, she slowly raised her head and continued, "So Sir Jiang asked this servant to deliver a letter to the Empress."

As she spoke, the little palace maid handed the envelope in her sleeve to Qiao Yifeng.

Qiao Qiao was still startled. It seemed that this little palace maid had treated her as Jiang Lanxin.

"I am not …" Qiao Qiao was just about to explain that she had recognized the wrong person. She wasn't Jiang Lanxin when she saw a shining figure slowly enter from the door.

"Greetings, your Imperial Majesty." The little palace maid's body slightly trembled, her voice slightly trembled as she hurriedly bowed.

"You may leave. I have something to say to her." Yan Mo Chen's face was cold and his gaze landed on Qiao Qiao.

"Yes." The young palace maid bowed slightly, then stood up and left.

After the small palace maid left, there was only Qiao Qiao and Yan Mo Chen who were still looking at each other.

"You want to leave?" Yan Mo Chen frowned and asked when he saw that Qiao Qiao was still dressed properly early in the morning.

"Otherwise?" Qiao Qiao still had his cold brows tightly knitted together. When he saw Yan Mo Chen, he thought of the humiliation he had suffered last night. The hatred in his heart was even more intense.

"You can't leave." Yan Mo Chen chuckled. When he glanced at the red spot on the bed out of the corner of his eyes, he was stunned. When he looked at Qiao Qiao, there was actually a hint of love in his eyes.

Qiao Qiao could not help but snort coldly when he saw her appearance. Did he now know that she was a virgin? Do you know how fierce he was last night? You know you're sorry? How ridiculous!

"You …" Yan Mo Chen's cold eyes trembled and his lips parted slightly.

"What 'I'? I just happened to be here today, that's all." She did not need any sympathy from Yan Mo Chen, she did not want to get involved with him any further. As for her past relationship with him, it was better and calmer, but Qiao Qiao's eyes still flashed as he spoke with indifference, "This will save me the trouble of drinking the Fetal Medicine during the safe period."

Indeed, when Yan Mo Chen heard what Qiao still said, his originally pampered look was instantly gone. His eyes were filled with a hint of sharpness. He instantly lifted his hands and held onto Qiao Qiao's slender neck.

"You want to secretly drink the Fetal Medicine, but you're so unwilling to have children from me?" Yan Mo Chen's cold eyes flashed, a trace of anger burning within him as he stared at Qiao Qiao.

Even though he was holding her tightly in his hand, Qiao Qiao had yet to give in. She had a smile on her face, raised her eyebrows, and her intelligent eyes could not help but stare coldly at Yan Mo Chen, "That's right, I do not want your child. Now that what you want has already been given to you, you should let me go." She raised her eyebrows, as if she didn't care about yesterday's night at all.

"You are already my man, where else do you want to go?" Yan Mo Chen narrowed his eyes, his face was filled with rage, "Furthermore, how can you repay what you owe me in one night?"

"So you still won't let me go." Qiao Qiao's still intelligent eyes could not help but be filled with contempt. Between the two of them, it was indeed clear who owed whom.

"It's not that I'm not letting you go, it's just that you can't leave at all." Yan Mo Chen sneered, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked, "If you don't believe me, why don't you try?"

Qiao Qiao's eyes still swept over the palace proudly. Although the palace was big, she could still find the gates with her eyes closed. She did not believe that she would not be able to leave the palace today.

Qiao Qiao still lifted his foot and ignored the coldness in Yan Mo Chen's eyes. He then lifted his leg and walked out of the palace.

This was the place that she had been relying on ever since she arrived here. With how familiar this place was, she didn't even need to use her memories to distinguish the palace doors.

"Greetings, esteemed imperial concubine."

"Greetings, esteemed imperial concubine."

Waves after waves of palace maids and guards passed by her side, respectfully bowing and greeting her.

Qiao Qiao was still puzzled. Although the palace maids, guards and eunuchs were not as familiar as they were in the past, it seemed that the servants in the palace of the Qiao Country had all been given new blood, but even if they did not know that she was the Emperor of the Qiao Nation, how could they still call her Madam Blue Concubine so fluently?

"You are the concubine that I officially married yesterday. Do you think you can leave the palace so easily?" Yan Mo Chen looked at Qiao who was still confused, and spoke faintly behind her.

"What do you mean!" Qiao Qiao was still frowning. Didn't she always stay at the Fragrant Storey and Tea House yesterday? How could she be related to Yan Mo Chen? Wasn't the one he formally married the Jiang Clan's direct daughter, Jiang Lanxin? What did it have to do with her!?

Yan Mo Chen snickered, and slowly moved closer. When he was still just a few centimeters away from Qiao Qiao, he stopped, lowered his head, and softly spoke into Qiao Qiao's ear, "The real Jiang Lanxin is currently in the cold palace. As for you, you are the legitimate esteemed mistress Lan Fei in the eyes of the crowd."

Qiao Qiao was still shocked. So Yan Mo Chen had already prepared another identity for her in order to hide her identity as the previous emperor, but … She secretly frowned. How could this be unfair to Jiang Lanxin!?

Don't think that my decision was unfair to that woman. She drugged me in an attempt to climb onto the dragon bed, and I didn't grant her death to any of the nobles because of Jiang Shangshu. You weren't too delusional either, and I let you replace that woman who didn't want to die just so that I could stabilize her. Yan Mo Chen cast a cold glance at Qiao Qiao, his eyes filled with unfeeling.

"You're just using me!" Joe was still angry.

"Haha, as the saying goes, use another's path to deal with someone else. You have once used my feelings for you. Have you ever thought that you would end up like this today!" Yan Mo Chen let out a round of laughter and shouted coldly. He no longer had the patience towards this woman in front of him.

"Okay …" "Alright …" Qiao Qiao was still absent-minded but only one word came out of his mouth …

"Good? "Hahaha!" Yan Mo Chen looked at Qiao Qiao's indifferent appearance and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart. However, he suppressed his unstable state of mind and coldly said, "Of course, you still don't know what happened in the Demon Palace yesterday, right?"

Hehe! Qiao Qiao sneered. How could she not know what happened in the Demon Palace yesterday? Everything that happened in the Demon Palace was planned by her for a long time, but … She shook her head and laughed.

"I don't know."

"The Infernal Palace is in a state of internal strife. The great sects of the Jianghu have made use of this opportunity to seek revenge. The Infernal Queen is no longer in the Infernal Palace. By the time he returns, the Infernal Palace might have already been reduced to ruins …" Yan Mo Chen laughed out loud. Although the Demon Lord was not dead, this could still be considered as taking revenge for many years in his blood sea.

It seemed like Qingwu and Xiu Luan had successfully caused the internal strife in the Demon Palace, and although Zi Ran did not meet her, she had also led the other great martial institutions to seek revenge. Thus, her heart's desire was finally granted, and from now on, there would no longer be a Demon Palace in this world that would do anything against the law, and He Ming You's life could be considered as being secretly protected.

"You look so happy. Are you trying to comfort the Demon Lord that he isn't dead? Do you think that he can turn the tide and continue to let you be the next head of the martial arts world? " Yan Mo Chen's eyes were filled with mockery while his words were filled with mockery. In the past, he only wanted to destroy the Demon Palace because of the Yan Clan's blood feud over ten years ago. But now, he wanted to see everything that this woman in front of him had in her heart shattered!

Unfortunately, before he was able to break through the barrier, the Demon Palace broke apart on his own. However, this was also good. It saved him a large portion of his troops.

Qiao Qiao still turned her gaze away slightly. She really did not think that she would be so unbearable in Yan Mo Chen's heart.

"Yes, yes, so what? "He didn't die. He will come back to save me eventually." Qiao Qiao was still sneering as he forcefully suppressed the rage within his heart. "And you, can't hold me back at all!"

"You …!" Yan Mo Chen's pupils contracted, his eyes widened as he stared at Qiao yet again, his lips curled up, and a cold smile appeared on his face, "You wish!"

Joe, still smiling, did not reply.

"In this lifetime, even if you die, you must die here, in front of me. He can forget about touching a single finger of yours!" Yan Mo Chen's face was cold, and he gritted his teeth as he spoke. The more he saw that Qiao Qiao was still unconcerned with him, the more he felt ashamed he was of the love between them back then.

"Then we'll see!" She had always been someone who would not take advantage of others. The more Yan Mo Chen treated her like this, the more she would not say it out loud. After all, the hatred she had towards him was no longer something that could be solved with this matter.

"Hmph." Yan Mo Chen let out a cold snort. He flicked his sleeves and walked away from Qiao Qiao.

Qiao Qiao continued to stare at Yan Mo Chen's leaving figure. She knew that she had hurt him at the entrance of the Demon Palace and it was within reason that he hated her, but he had already taken her mountains and hurt her loyalty. The two of them were even, why was he still unwilling to let her go?

Qiao Qiao's gaze still sank. Right now, everyone in the palace knew that she was the empress of the imperial palace. It would be even more difficult to leave the palace in the open.

She had to consider the matter of leaving the palace carefully.

He did not know if Qingwu and Xiu Luan would go crazy from anxiety and worry. He did not know where the two of them were at the moment and if they would be implicated by the Demon Palace if they were unable to find her at the Fragrance Court …

Qiao Qiao was still frowning. Standing within the imperial garden that he used to frequent walking around in the past, he no longer had the elegance from watching the scenery before. His heart was filled with worry and he did not know when this would come to an end …
