Chapter 725: Chapter 725

Miao Zhengyi listened, stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Mu Lingyun, and asked somewhat foolishly, "Is it really as you say?"

In this chaos, how many commoners will be displaced, with families destroyed and lives lost?

And how many soldiers will lay down their lives because of this!

Do these people not care at all?

Mu Lingyun glanced at Miao Zhengyi, not expecting that Miao Zhengyi would actually be naïve.

"Those who seek to claim the world and yearn to reign supreme naturally want chaos to reign. There’s a saying, ’The times create heroes,’" said Mu Lingyun indifferently.

Miao Zhengyi heard this, was struck dumb, then spoke up, "But there’s another saying, ’For one general’s success, a thousand bones are withered.’ Do they not care even a little bit?"

Number Nineteen listened, enduring the pain, and scoffed before replying, "Only someone like you would care. They’re high above; why would they care about such things?"

Miao Zhengyi: ...

Suddenly, he felt that the world might be somewhat different from what he had thought.

However, he did not stay stunned for too long.

Soon, he glanced at Number Nineteen and then said, "For attempting to assassinate His Highness, you deserve death."

After speaking, he paused and looked at Mu Lingyun before saying, "Miss Mu, what do you say?"

"Young Master, I’ve already been stabbed by you this many times. If you think that’s not enough, then stab me a few more times. But, could you perhaps not kill me? From now on, I will certainly follow your lead wholeheartedly, assisting you with all my heart!" Number Nineteen spoke.

Although dead soldiers are meant to die rather than surrender, who isn’t afraid of death?

If there’s a chance to live without breaking the rules, why must he choose death?

After hearing this, Mu Lingyun’s lips slightly curled up as she responded coolly, "What if I asked you to stab Mu Yi?"

Upon hearing this, Number Nineteen’s expression changed, then he said, "Aside from harming or betraying my master, I am duty-bound for any other task."

Mu Lingyun raised her brows slightly, noncommitally, and continued indifferently, "What if Mu Yi ordered you to kill me?"

Upon hearing this, Number Nineteen’s expression changed again.

At last, he spoke, "If my master gives such a command, I will carry it out and then take my own life upon failure. However, I believe my master wouldn’t assign us such a task because we all know that you’re the legitimate bloodline of the Mu Family, not my master."

"What did you say?" Mu Lingyun asked, somewhat surprised.

Thinking Mu Lingyun was unaware of this fact, Number Nineteen continued, "The identity of my master and the former Queen has been switched since the day they were born."

Mu Lingyun furrowed her brows, then continued, "How many people know about this?"

Her surprise was not at the fact itself, but that these dead soldiers actually knew about it.

"All of the Mu Family’s dead soldiers and Hidden Guard," Number Nineteen thought for a moment, then said.

Mu Lingyun fell silent.

This secret was something she only had learned after she took the throne in her former life.

She had not expected that the dead soldiers and Hidden Guard around Mu Yi knew about it already.

No wonder, she had always felt something amiss.

Throughout the time she contended with Mu Yi, it seemed he had never used the dead soldiers and Hidden Guard against her.

Looking back, it turns out this was the reason.

However...

"Since you all knew, why did you watch indifferently as my mother was thrown into the Cold Palace, and even died?" Mu Lingyun asked coldly with a fierce intensity in her gaze, directing her words at Number Nineteen.
