Chapter 721: Chapter 721

His expression remained neutral, and his words carried no emotion, "If, indeed, you need to become the Empress to return to the modern times, then it doesn’t matter."

Ji Luochen paused, pursed his lips slightly, and continued, "I will make you the Empress in my own way! I will ensure that when you become the Empress, there will be peace all over, no strife, no Feudal Lords competing, just like the world you once ruled!"

Ji Luochen fell silent for a while before he continued, "The only difference is, this time, I will conquer it for you. Is that alright?"

Mu Lingyun was stunned upon hearing this.

She looked at Ji Luochen.

She realized that Ji Luochen’s appearance was still as handsome as ever.

His expression was calm, and his tone was steady.

Yet, it appeared extremely solemn.

It seemed as though what he was telling her was a serious promise.

For a moment, she didn’t know how to respond.

Ji Luochen had not received an answer from the girl for a long time. He opened his eyes and looked at her, asked in a low voice, "Do you... not believe me? Or, do you not wish for it to be this way?"

Mu Lingyun shook her head, "Neither! I just feel that, this way, for you..."

"For me..." Ji Luochen looked at Mu Lingyun, interrupted her, paused, then slowly added on, "Nothing is more important than you! This time, listen to me, alright?"

Mu Lingyun was taken aback for a moment, but finally nodded.

Ji Luochen smiled, closed his eyes, and slowly said, "Good! Go then!"

Mu Lingyun couldn’t help but smile as well, then she left Ji Luochen’s room and closed the door.

Outside the door, the guards had greatly increased.

Mu Lingyun took a glance and noticed that besides the normal guards, there were layers upon layers of Hidden Guards concealed around.

Although there had been an assassination, seeing such a formation reassured Mu Lingyun.

The scene of the fight outside had evidently been cleaned up.

As she walked, she did not notice any traces of a fight.

She came to the courtyard outside and saw Miao Zhengyi.

"How many captives were caught?" Mu Lingyun looked at Miao Zhengyi and asked.

Miao Zhengyi, looking defeated, said, "We did catch a few, but we couldn’t get anything out of them! They all came with the intention to die, so they simply won’t talk. Even in death, they won’t speak!"

Mu Lingyun frowned upon hearing this.

Such dead soldiers, it might really be hard to get anything out of them.

"Take me to see them!" Mu Lingyun said.

Miao Zhengyi hesitated for a moment, then glanced in the direction of Ji Luochen’s quarters.

Mu Lingyun slightly raised her eyebrows, then said, "If you think I need to get permission from His Highness to meet an assassin, then hurry along, I’ll wait for you!"

Upon hearing this, Miao Zhengyi quickly forced a smile and said, "What are you saying? Why would you need permission to meet a few assassins like that? Let’s go, I’ll take you there!"

Miao Zhengyi spoke and led the way.

Mu Lingyun followed him.

They soon entered the dark prison of the Crown Prince’s Mansion.

Although the dark prison of the Crown Prince’s Mansion was somewhat gloomy, it was still quite dry.

Despite being used to detain criminals, heavily guarded, Miao Zhengyi led Mu Lingyun inside without any obstruction. Moreover, this cell was different from the others—it looked quite clean and tidy, and there was no strange smell.
