Qiao Qiao no longer answered and only focused on looking at the main entrance of the Enchanted Palace. Due to the distance, she could only see from afar that the main entrance of the Enchanted Palace opened a small gap. A white-clothed woman slowly walked out …

It was unknown what the woman said to the four guards at the entrance, but the guards looked at each other doubtfully. After a moment of hesitation, they slowly nodded and entered the door. The majestic entrance of the Demon Palace was once again tightly shut.

The moment the crowd closed their eyes, the woman in white turned her head in a flurry, looking around her in all directions. It was unknown what she was looking for.

The moment the woman turned her head, Qiao Qiao could still recognize this person to be one of the five Holy Maiden of the Demon Palace. He was also the spy she placed in the Demon Palace, Li Ruo Ying.

"Ruo Ying!" She did not inform Li Ruo Ying of her actions in advance, and when she purposely moved aside the guards at the door, Qiao Qiao knew that Li Ruo Ying had probably already known of their arrival, and that she and Yan Mo Chen were already acquainted. This fool who was kept in the dark, was only herself.

"My daughter Li Ruo Ying greets the Emperor and the Lord Regent." Li Ruo Ying stood before Qiao Qiao with a face full of respect, and wanted to bow and kneel.

Qiao Qiao still held onto Li Ruo Ying as she looked at Yan Mo Chen reproachfully. This form of address confirmed her thoughts, because she had never told Li Ruo Ying her true identity, so she knew that her identity must have been revealed by Yan Mo Chen. It seemed that Yan Mo Chen had been secretly monitoring her, and she was afraid that she had become a chess piece on Yan Mo Chen's chess board.

Qiao Qiao's cold lips were still curled up as she faced Yan Mo Chen with eyes full of resentment.

Yan Mo Chen slowly avoided the reproach and questioning in Qiao Qiao's eyes. It was as if this matter had nothing to do with him, and his face did not show the slightest sense of injustice.

"There's no need to be so courteous. Quickly, get up. The matter has suddenly occurred, so we should first pay attention to the overall situation." Qiao Qiao still looked away from Yan Mo Chen's resentful gaze and spoke to Li Ruo Ying, more like he was talking to himself. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. They will settle the grudge between her and Yan Mo Chen after the autumn!

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Ruo Ying said slowly, then raised her eyebrows and parted her lips. "This humble one cannot stay for too long, so this humble one has to make it a long story. The Demon Lord won't be at the Demon Palace today, so this humble one can set aside the guards to meet with the Emperor and the Prince."

"The Demon Lord is not in the Demon Palace right now?" Qiao Qiao still furrowed his brows. If the Demon Lord was not at the Demon Palace, then their attack on the Demon Palace today would be twice the result with half the effort.

"Yes, the guards that were on patrol in the Demon Palace said that the Demon Lord would receive a secret letter every October. The Demon Lord would leave the Demon Palace for at least a month before returning, but this time in September, he received this secret letter. The Demon Lord left the palace one month earlier, it seems like something important has happened." Li Ruo Ying said succinctly.

"Leave for a month?!" Qiao Qiao still turned his head to look at Yan Mo Chen, a hint of doubt in his eyes. This Demon Lord would leave for a month every year, it seemed like the Demon Palace was not the only place where the Demon Lord's nest was located. If that was the case, then the power behind the Demon Lord would be even greater.

"Not here? "That's perfect!" Yan Mo Chen squinted his eyes. Although he and the Demon Lord had an irreconcilable enmity, if he wanted to personally eliminate the Demon Lord, he had to first remove his powerful shield. Even if he could not get the Demon Lord to pay for the blood of the Yan Family for his death, he could still kill the entire Demon Palace.

"When we return to the emperor, it is inconvenient for us to stay here for too long, so as to not arouse suspicion. This is the map of the inner part of the Demon Palace, where all the hidden weapons, traps, and guards are already marked. Some of the signs indicate how to deal with them, but the other women are truly powerless." Li Ruo Ying lowered her eyes. She hadn't been in the Devil's Palace for more than ten days. Being able to do that was already doing her best.

"Alright, hurry up and go back so that you won't be discovered." Qiao Qiao still took the map from Li Ruo Ying's hands, drilled it for a while before raising his head to urge her.

"This humble girl will take her leave." Li Ruo Ying bowed slightly and looked around to see that there was no one else. Then, she quickly retreated and entered the Demon Palace.

"Let's go." Qiao Qiao still held onto the map in his hands, his eyes dimmed as he spoke to Yan Mo Chen. His tone was calm, and there was no hint of joy or anger in his tone.

"You have nothing to ask me?" Yan Mo Chen frowned and grabbed Qiao Qiao's sleeve. Of course he knew that Qiao was still intelligent. It wasn't hard to tell that he knew Li Ruo Ying, but he didn't expect the little girl to be so quiet at this time.

"Of course, but not yet." Qiao Qiao still rolled her eyes at Yan Mo Chen. She viciously flung Yan Mo Chen's sleeve and walked towards the entrance of the Demon Palace with large steps. Even though she was angry, she knew what was most important right now.

'Bang ~ 'a muffled sound rang out and Qiao Qiao's eyes were still dazed. Just as he was about to fall to the ground, Yan Mo Chen's handsome face got closer and closer to her, so close that they could hear each other's heartbeats.

"I promised to bring you here, but I didn't promise to bring you in …" Yan Mo Chen smiled slowly, his sexy and tight lips were slightly pursed, "The situation inside is too complicated, it's too dangerous, I don't want you to follow me and take the risk."

Qiao Qiao's lips were still parted, as if he wanted to say something. Unfortunately, his vision became more and more blurry, and in the end, he didn't even have the time to rebuke before he closed his eyes.

​

Three days later, Qiao Qiao was still closed up at the entrance of the palace. The morning assembly was already over three days ago, and from the day they attacked the Demon Palace, Qiao Qiao and Yan Mo Chen were still nowhere to be seen. In other words, Qiao Qiao was still purposely avoiding Yan Mo Chen.

In these three days, she had only heard from Qingwu about the rumors about Yan Mo Chen attacking the Demon Palace.

For example, Yan Mo Chen had brought 200 people with him. When he returned, the casualties were severe, leaving behind only 50 people.

For example, the Devil Palace was ambushed by Yan Mo Chen that day, and the group of dragons without a leader was caught unawares, resulting in a great loss.

For example, Yan Mo Chen had fought alone with the evil spirits and evil spirits, and in the end, both were injured. The Demon Palace was no longer the same as before, and both sides were also recovering.

For example, rumors abound, and even Joe could not tell which was the truth and which was the false truth.

However, she was not in the mood to think about it. Yan Mo Chen had plotted against her time and time again. What did his injuries have to do with her?!

Even though she said that, but Qingwu clearly knew that Qiao Qiao was still sincere. In these three days, she would occasionally tell Qiao Qiao some stories about the Yan Mo Chen.

For example, now —

"Your Majesty, you've opened up the imperial court again today. The ministers have already expressed their opinions." Lightly standing in the Dry Temple, she poured a cup of tea for the leisurely looking Qiao Qiao who was lying on the imperial concubine's bed. Her voice carried a hint of consolation.

Joe remained silent, his eyes still closed.

"Your majesty, if you continue to ignore court affairs like this, I'm afraid your heart will be unsettled." Qingwu said anxiously as she put down the teapot in her hand.

Qiao Qiao's eyes were still tightly shut, and his brows were not relaxed in the slightest.

"Your Majesty, are you really ignoring Prime Minister Luo and Shen Qian Xun's previous actions? Furthermore, the scheme that you have meticulously set up, will it not end well? "

Her voice grew heavier, but Joe still didn't move an eyelash.

"Your Majesty, the Regent has not been to the Imperial Court for three days in a row. Do you think he is seriously injured?" Qingwu let out a helpless sigh and carefully asked in a testing manner.

Sure enough, when Qiao Qiao heard this, his brows slightly creased and his tightly shut eyes slowly opened.

"Really?" Qiao Qiao still had his brows knit together as he spoke, his expression was indifferent, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or worried.

When Qingwu saw that Qiao Qiao still felt the Regent's matter, a smile appeared on her anxious face. Then, she added oil to the fire:

"That's right. I heard that the Regent was fighting one against a hundred at the Devil's Palace that day. No matter how skilled he is, it's inevitable that he won't be able to handle it."

Qiao Qiao's brows, which were still tightly furrowed, finally relaxed for a moment. She then smiled: "Good, very good!"

Qingwu was slightly startled as she didn't expect Qiao Qiao's response after the Regent's injury. Shouldn't she be very anxious, very concerned, and immediately run over to the Regent's Mansion to investigate?

Qiao Qiao laughed in secret. She slowly got up and walked towards the table. With one hand holding the brush and the other holding the xuan paper, she waved her hand and wrote something on the Xuan paper. Then, she folded the Xuan paper and called out to Qingwu in a soft voice.

"Send our decree to deliver this to the Residence of Regent."

"Yes." Although she did not know what the emperor had written there, she had already guessed that it must be a love letter from the emperor to the regent. Although the king was injured, the emperor was comforting him, and as Qingwu thought this, she took the paper from Qiao's hands and ran outside joyfully. The emperor had already sent a message for the regent, does that mean the emperor has forgiven the king? If that was the case, then it was likely that the Emperor would finally reveal himself tomorrow morning.

Within the shrine, Qiao Qiao still turned around and once again laid down contentedly on the imperial concubine's bed. She held the pastry in her hand and brought it to her mouth. Her lips slightly curled up and a sense of satisfaction of getting her revenge appeared on her originally calm face …

Since Yan Mo Chen dared to scheme against her in secret, he must think that one day, she would definitely return the favor.
