Looking at the real Queen before him, Louis felt deeply ashamed. From the moment she married into the country, she had been hailed by the media as the most beautiful and elegant princess in the history of Y country. Before his death, the King had instructed him to protect the Queen with his life, but now the Queen had been tortured to the point of being unrecognizable. He felt utterly ashamed of failing the late King's entrustment.

Thinking of this, Louis knelt down with a thud. "Your Majesty, it was our ignorance that caused you to suffer so much while wandering abroad. We deserve to die. We beg Your Majesty to punish us!"

Seeing Louis kneel down, everyone else also knelt on the ground, prostrating themselves and saying, "Please punish us, Queen!"

Shao Siran looked at Louis. The past two years of imprisonment had given him a lot more gray hair and wrinkles. He was already in his sixties, yet he still devoted his later years to the development of Y Country. How could she blame such a veteran?

Moreover, all of this stems from her poor judgment of character and her naiveté.

So she quickly bent down and helped Louis up by the elbow. “Marquis, I am already impressed by how you single-handedly rescued so many people from prison. Besides, you didn’t cause this, so please don’t take the blame on yourself.”

Louis said earnestly, "Your Majesty, you misunderstand. I didn't save these people! We were able to get out successfully thanks to others. We owe a great deal to their help this time; otherwise, we might not have succeeded!"

"You didn't save her?" Shao Siran asked in surprise. "Then who did?"

Louis's gaze involuntarily turned to Gu Momo, his voice ambiguous: "It was Gu Momo's two children who saved us."

Shao Siran looked in the direction Louis pointed, a strange emotion flashing in her dark eyes. It was Gu Momo's child.

Gu Momo and Li Zhanting are already exceptionally talented, and their child possesses such courage and boldness. These two children will likely be able to dominate the world in the future...

Thinking of this, Shao Siran felt a sense of awe rising in her heart, and her eyes gradually became serious.

“Your Majesty, there are too many potential dangers here. Why don’t we return to the palace first?” Louis suggested.

Shao Siran agreed, then turned to Gu Momo and Li Tianyi: "You two should come with me. You two deserve a lot of credit for exposing Shao Mengying's scheme this time. Besides, Miss Gu and I still have important matters to discuss."

Gu Momo's long eyelashes fluttered slightly. She nervously checked her phone but still didn't see the message from Li Zhanting.

But now is a crucial time to discuss the Blood Jade Ring with the Queen, so she has no choice but to trust Li Zhanting and Li Mo!

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but chuckle and step forward to Li Tianyi, saying, "Dad, why don't you come in with me and take a look?"

Li Tianyi was far more familiar with palace affairs than she was, so Gu Momo essentially had an extra helper!

Li Tianyi chuckled, his handsome features shining through: "Perfect timing, I also have some things to take care of."

Surrounding the royal family, Shao Mengying was escorted to the royal prison at the bottom.

Shao Mengying never imagined that this place was originally a prison for traitors and rebels of the Y Kingdom. Countless loyal Y Kingdom officials who disobeyed her were killed by her, their flesh and bones were devoured by wolves and dogs, and they were made to suffer a fate worse than death before their deaths.

She had fantasized countless times about finding the Blood Jade Ring hidden in Country Y and successfully bringing it back to her leader.

But she never expected that she would become a prisoner here!

"Hahaha, kill me if you want, but let me tell you, you won't get anything out of me about the Alliance Leader! I will never betray the Alliance Leader, Gu Momo, Shao Siran! You can never defeat our Alliance Leader!"

The screams were heart-wrenching, and tears of regret streamed continuously from Shao Mengying's eyes.

The alliance leader had reprimanded her countless times, telling her that since she had become a member of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance, she should be ruthless and devoid of love.

Because once a person develops emotions, that becomes the greatest taboo for assassins of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance.

She had believed that she had made countless contributions within the Emperor-Killing Alliance, so she was willing to give up her position as vice leader and personally seize the position of Queen of Y Country, just so that the leader would spare Li Tianyi's life.

But now that I think about it, she was really foolish. She risked her life to save Li Tianyi, but Li Tianyi still refused to change for her.

Even if he willingly remained hidden away in the royal family of Y Kingdom, he would still be willing to be the same Li Tianyi he was back then!

Back then, there was Li Tianyi, who was devoted to Mo Yan without any regrets and whose love was deeply rooted in his heart!

She said this in preparation for death, hoping that Shao Siran's subordinates would hate her to the bone and stab her again.

Unexpectedly, a familiar voice rang out from above: "Even if you want to die, now is not the time."

Shao Mengying stared wide-eyed in shock. She felt that the voice sounded somewhat like someone from her memory, and she quickly looked up in astonishment.

He met Ye Zhancheng's deep, indifferent eyes, which seemed to hold countless emotions.

Shao Mengying couldn't believe her eyes, but the next moment, Ye Zhancheng, dressed as a royal guard, swiftly made his move, piercing the neck of the guard behind him with a silver needle, and the guard instantly collapsed to the ground unconscious.

"It's you?" Shao Mengying asked with some suspicion. "Ha, Ye Zhancheng! Why is it you?!"

But then she grinned gleefully, a smile of relief spreading across her face: "The Alliance Leader sent you to save me, didn't he? Tell me, did the Alliance Leader send you to save me? Great! I knew the Alliance Leader would give me another chance..."

She knew the person in front of her all too well. When Ye Zhancheng was rescued by her and brought back to the Emperor Killing Alliance, he was only a few years old.

However, Ye Zhancheng at that time showed amazing perseverance and ruthless shooting skills, so Shao Mengying liked this young and cold-blooded boy very much and brought him into the Emperor Killing Alliance without hesitation.

She originally only wanted to conduct experiments on this child, but she didn't expect that the child's physique and willpower would be so strong, and even his marksmanship and criminal investigation skills were top-notch, so she liked him even more!

Since then, Ye Zhancheng has risen rapidly within the Emperor Killing Alliance, even becoming the top assassin!

The infamous Night Demon within the Emperor-Slaying Alliance is none other than Night Battle Successor!

Ye Zhancheng's dark pupils gleamed with a cold light, and his ink-black eyes swept over Shao Mengying as if devoid of any emotion.

He then quietly untied the ropes binding Shao Mengying's hands and feet and pressed a button on the wall.

The buttons here are completely integrated with the dungeon walls; probably no one would have guessed that buttons could be hidden here.

A hole immediately appeared in the ground behind Shao Mengying. This hole was very old and looked like it had been built many years ago.

"Go inside, I'll take you away from the palace." Ye Zhancheng's dark eyes were always cool and indifferent, yet they made Shao Mengying feel exceptionally close to him.

Without hesitation, Shao Mengying jumped into the hole, giving Ye Zhancheng a smug look before leaving.

"Night Battle Cheng, I didn't raise you for nothing! It seems that not everyone in the Emperor Slayer Alliance is cold-blooded and ruthless!"
