"Princess, I am an assassin, from the Dark Night faction."
After Qi Ye said this, Mu Chenshuang nodded directly.
Mu Chenshuang already knew Qi Ye's identity, and Qi Ye had mentioned it once before.
"I understand."
"Perhaps there is something the princess does not know: I am the leader of the Dark Night."
Upon hearing this, Mu Chenshuang frowned slightly.
Linglong, standing next to her, gaped wide-eyed, unsure of what to say.
Linglong could accept that Qiye was an assassin, but the fact that he was the leader of the Dark Night Assassins was something that truly shocked her.
At this moment, what flashed through Mu Chenshuang's mind was the scene when she first met Qi Ye.
At that time, Qi Ye was on the verge of death and almost couldn't be saved.
All the wounds on his body were caused by sharp weapons. If it weren't for his strong will and ability to endure, Qi Ye would never have survived.
Even if one possesses miraculous healing abilities, capable of bringing the dead back to life and restoring flesh to bones, it would be of no use.
As a doctor, Mu Chenshuang knew this clearly.
In the process of treating a person, if the person has no will to live, the process of saving them will be many times more difficult.
It's truly astonishing that Qiye has recovered to this state.
“That day, I disobeyed the emperor’s orders and hid the child. As a result, I was identified as a traitor and was hunted down by the entire Dark Night.”
Qi Ye tried his best to keep his tone calm, but when he mentioned what happened back then, a look of pain still appeared on his face.
Mu Chenshuang's heart sank once again.
How did a hitman and a child manage to survive in hiding until now?
"Also, I thought of Zhu Qin. Zhu Qin is a very cunning person and doesn't easily trust others. So, all of Zhu Qin's illicit gains were handled by Zhu Yue."
It must be said that the news Qi Ye revealed was a huge help to Mu Chenshuang.
Now, Zhu Qin has completely become Feng Mo Ran's lackey. If Zhu Qin can be eliminated, Feng Mo Ran will definitely lose a right-hand man.
As a court official, Zhu Qin held a prominent position, making it impossible for him to be assassinated using ordinary methods.
However, if his crimes were made public and His Majesty were to remove him, that would be a good solution.
Moreover, Qiye just mentioned Zhuyue.
Mu Chenshuang frowned slightly, and Linglong's expression also changed significantly.
I had met Miss Zhu before, and I also had a very deep impression of the strange child in her arms.
Miss once saved Miss Zhu's child; perhaps this lead can be successfully pursued.
The room was eerily quiet.
The carefree look on Qi Ye's face was gone, replaced by a calm expression.
Mu Chenshuang remained silent, and Linglong beside her dared not utter a sound either.
At this moment, if a needle were to fall to the ground, everyone could hear it clearly.
After a while, Mu Chenshuang finally raised her head.
"Seven Nights, thank you for your hard work."
"Princess, there's no need for such politeness. Your Highness has shown me great kindness, which I will never forget."
Seeing the scene before Qi Ye, Mu Chenshuang smiled.
"You're finally back. Go to the backyard and see the person you want to see. I'll let you know if anything comes up."
"Your Highness, thank you!"
