Chapter 744

The Empress, however, said, "This Mr. is so bold; perhaps that is not a bad thing."

As she spoke, the Empress also took a sip of tea.

"I agree to what you just said."

As the words fell, a mechanical voice suddenly rang out.

"Ding. Congratulations, Host. One of the hidden missions has been completed. The mission reward will be issued shortly."

Hearing the system's words, Ning Chen's expression did not change; instead, he slowly raised his eyes and looked toward the Empress.

Meeting his gaze, the Empress sighed helplessly.

"I thought I had hidden this matter very well, but I never expected an outsider to see through it."

Just a short while ago, when Ning Chen had untied the ropes on the girl's hands.

He suddenly discovered that all the wounds on the girl's body were inflicted by the girl herself.

They were likely caused by her struggling, not by torture from the Empress.

On the contrary, when he saw the girl's neck, at the back of her neck, he faintly saw a five-pointed star mark.

And also not long ago, he had seen such a mark on the Empress as well.

With this, he dared to speak so boldly to the Empress.

Raising his eyes to look at the Empress, Ning Chen said calmly.

"If I am not mistaken, she is also a member of the royal family."

Hearing this, before the Empress could be surprised, Lin Yi on the side had already become shocked.

"What? This girl is a member of the royal family?"

If she truly is a member of the royal family, why was she imprisoned in Ye Lisi's headquarters; everything could be explained.

Lin Yi looked at the girl on the bed with great shock. "I never thought of this."

Seeing Lin Yi's reaction, the Empress slowly sighed.

"I didn't think of it at the beginning either."

Didn't think of it?

Lin Yi looked over.

And Ning Chen, on the other hand, was drinking tea very calmly, as if everything was within his expectations.

"When I first learned of this child's whereabouts, I didn't know she was my child. Only after I began investigating this child did I discover that she is actually my daughter."

As she spoke, the expression on the Empress's face began to turn sorrowful.

She looked toward Ning Chen.

"Mr., your ability is very strong. Ye Lisi has oppressed the people here for a long time. This time, I hope you can help us, help the people here escape suffering."

Seeing the Empress's pleading expression, Ning Chen did not agree immediately.

Instead, he silently asked.

"Doesn't the royal family oppress the people as well?"

Gulp.

The Empress never expected Ning Chen to ask such a question; she was instantly stunned.

"This... this question, I will resolve."

As soon as the Empress finished speaking, Ning Chen said directly.

"Moreover, I seem not to have seen Your Majesty yet?"

Hearing the two words "Your Majesty," the Empress's heart shook violently.

Lin Yi looked at Ning Chen with a confused expression. "Kid, what do you mean? Does the royal family have no Your Majesty?"

As he spoke, Lin Yi deliberately looked toward the Empress.

And the Empress's face was very gloomy.

She was unwilling to answer this question; behind this question lay a series of matters.

676 already knows.

"It is better for you not to know this question."

Hearing the Empress's words, Lin Yi smiled faintly. "So there really is no Highness?"

As the words fell, the Empress's face instantly turned black.

Ning Chen tugged at Lin Yi's sleeve, and he quickly closed his mouth.

The Empress took a deep breath. "I hope our relationship is merely a cooperative one; these matters need not be questioned."

Seeing the Empress's demeanor, Lin Yi became even more certain that the Empress must have a problem.

Ning Chen nodded. "Give her to me."

He was referring, naturally, to the girl on the bed.

The Empress looked at Ning Chen and sighed helplessly.

She rose to her feet.

"Giving her to you is fine, but you must give her medicine on time."

As she spoke, the Empress said to a servant on the side: "Go, fetch part of the medicine."

Hearing the Empress's words, the servant nodded, turned, and walked out.

Not long after, the servant walked out carrying a box.

"Empress, this is part of the medicine."

The Empress nodded, pointed toward Ning Chen, and then carried the medicine over to Ning Chen.

"This medicine should be enough to last for a while."

Ning Chen looked at the large box of medicine, took out a bottle, and glanced at it.

He slowly furrowed his brow, looking at the medicinal ingredients listed above.

"Don't look; the medicine contains sedative ingredients. Only this way will she not make a fuss."

Just as the Empress had said, the ingredients above indeed contained sedatives.

However, the dosage was not large; it was very small.

Ning Chen put the medicine down, stood up, and walked toward the bed.

Looking at the girl with her eyes tightly closed, he reached out and picked her up.

Seeing this, Lin Yi hurriedly carried the large box of medicine.

As Lin Yi and Ning Chen were about to walk out the door, the guards at the entrance hurriedly stopped the two of them.

Before Lin Yi could even open his mouth to ask.

The Empress spoke first: "Let them go."

Hearing the Empress's words, the guards stepped aside and let them walk out.

She watched as Ning Chen carried the girl away, and suddenly her heart felt a bit painful.

Is doing this right?

As she thought, a servant nearby leaned close and whispered.

"Empress, Wang Zi has started making a fuss again."

"Didn't we already tell Wang Zi? Why is he making a fuss again?"

As the Empress spoke, she pressed her temples with great headache.

"Let's go, go take a look."

Speaking thus, the Empress led the servant beside her and walked over.

As soon as they arrived at Wang Zi's door, they heard the sound of things being thrown inside.

The Empress furrowed her brow. "Has Wang Zi been throwing things all day?"

As she spoke, the servant nearby hurriedly replied: "Empress, it only just started like this a moment ago."

Hearing the servant's words, the Empress furrowed her brow.

"Open the door; I want to go in."

The guard standing by the door responded and did as told.

Just as the door opened, Wang Zi rushed out from inside the room and nearly collided with the Empress.

666. Still got involved (7)

"Wang Zi! You are far too impulsive! The Empress almost fell!"
