Qi Ye replied, "I occasionally recall some things, such as seeing the jade pendant in his hand lying in a pool of blood, but I have no other memories."
From Chengli's behavior, his ability to read and write, and even his exquisite calligraphy, it is clear that Chengli's birth was extraordinary. However, the fact that he was rescued by Qiye during his exile only shows that he was a scion of a fallen noble family.
Since he was exiled, he must have committed a serious crime, and the order must have been given by the emperor himself.
Therefore, if Chengli's identity is verified and known to those with ulterior motives, it will be quite detrimental to her. So now she can only protect Chengli in the Marquis's mansion and prevent outsiders from noticing.
"You and Chengli will stay at the Marquis's residence for the time being!"
Qi Ye noticed Mu Chen Shuang's worry, but didn't ask any further questions. "I know, I will be careful."
"Um!"
After returning to his residence from the palace, Lord Mu found Mu Chenshuang and asked her in detail about what had happened. On the night Mu Chenshuang had the accident, Lord Mu rushed to the palace to meet the emperor and guaranteed with his life that Mu Chenshuang would never poison the Empress Dowager.
Knowing that she was alright for the time being put his mind at ease, he was most surprised by her medical skills, because he had never known that his daughter not only knew medicine, but was also quite skilled in it.
"Shuang'er, tell your father, what's the secret behind your superb medical skills?"
Lord Mu looked at Mu Chenshuang. If it weren't for her face, he would have thought that the person standing in front of him was not his daughter but someone else.
Mu Chenshuang answered Lord Mu the same questions she had already answered the Emperor.
Lord Mu's pupils contracted slightly as he looked at Mu Chen Shuang with a mixture of belief and doubt. "Does Shuang'er know who that renowned physician from the martial arts world is?"
She did spend two years in the border region with her mother, but when the family reunited, her mother did not mention that Mu Chenshuang was learning medicine.
But now it seems that only this reason can make sense.
Mu Chenshuang calmly replied, "He only said that he was a wandering Jianghu person who traveled around the mountains and rivers. Whenever he traveled to a place, he would stay for a while if he was destined to. He would also teach his medical skills to people he met. However, I could sense that this person's identity was not simple. He was probably a real Sweeping Monk. I did not know his true identity."
Lord Mu narrowed his eyes as he looked at Mu Chen Shuang, unsure whether he believed her or not. Seeing her like this, he knew he couldn't get any more information from her.
“If that’s the case, then my daughter really has the ability to learn medicine. It seems that she is even more skilled than that Madam Qi.”
Mu Chenshuang said calmly, "I just happen to know the antidote for the poison that the Empress Dowager was poisoned with."
Lord Mu didn't ask any further questions. "By the way, do you know the identity of the personal guard you brought back to the manor?"
"He doesn't remember anything from the past, and neither does his daughter."
Lord Mu looked at her, his tone becoming heavier, and said, "Shuang'er, I think this person is no ordinary person. If he is a clean person in the martial arts world, then it's fine, but if he is a suspicious person, it is a very dangerous thing."
Mu Chenshuang looked up at Lord Mu, "I know my father's worries, but with Qiye by my side, I feel much more at ease. After all, there was no one in this manor I could trust before."
Lord Mu's eyes darkened, but he didn't press further. "Father understands. From now on, Father will be the person you trust the most."
“My daughter knows.”
Mu Chenshuang understood that Lord Mu must know something in his heart.
