While Qingwu was still conscious, he heard a familiar call.

Who is calling him?

He tried to open his eyes, but couldn't see the person in front of him clearly.

"Qingwu, Qingwu, hold on! Be determined, and I will remove the black water for you right away!" After Chen Yan finished speaking, he looked up at Bai Ze beside him.

Bai Ze and her already had a tacit understanding. Without Chen Yan's instructions or orders, he had already condensed the power of holy light to cover Qing Wu's chest.

Chen Yan put Qing Wu down, took out a healing pill from the storage space, pinched Qing Wu's mouth open, and put the pill into his mouth.

Afterwards, she called Uncle Zeng to help her. She wanted to use the aura in the Holy Light Stone to remove the black water.

Uncle Zeng transferred spiritual power to her.

With Uncle Zeng's powerful spiritual power, Chen Yan was able to remove the black water for Qing Wu much faster.

And from beginning to end, Chen Yan didn't even look at Chen Ce.

Only a few old ministers and guards came to his side and supported him who was seriously injured.

Shen Ce's pale handsome face darkened a little. He stared at Qing Wu with a sinister look and asked the person beside him, "Who is that young man?"

"have no idea."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ce couldn't help but wonder, could this be one of His Highness's candidate imperial husbands?

Shen Ce suddenly remembered something. He turned his head to look at the old ministers and said, "Do you know who the real prince is?"

The old ministers looked at each other and nodded with complicated expressions: "Understood."

Shen Ce frowned: "What about the fake prince?"

"He's already escaped," the old ministers replied. Then, as if struck by something, they lowered their voices and asked subtly, "Ace, you didn't lose your virginity to the fake prince, did you?"

These words made Shen Ce choke, and his face darkened.

"No."

The old ministers breathed a sigh of relief. "If not, you still have a chance to become His Highness's imperial consort."

In fact, they are all very optimistic about Shen Ce.

However, they couldn't help but think of the man who had been with His Highness before. He was both strong and handsome, and was a perfect match for His Highness.

The only shortcoming is that he is not one of the alternative imperial husbands chosen by the Grand Master for His Highness.

"What is your highness doing?" Shen Ce asked, staring at Shen Yan in front of him without blinking.

An old official said, "Your Highness is removing the black water from the young man and treating him."

Shen Ce frowned slightly when he heard this.

She actually knew how to remove the black water? And could she even provide treatment?

Another old minister said, "Ace, you have also been invaded by the black water. Please wait a moment. His Highness will remove the black water for you later."

Shen Ce nodded without changing his expression.

At this time, Old Qiu had already put away the bottle of black water. He slowly raised his eyes and sensed the surroundings with his spiritual sense, but did not find the breath of his master. He frowned slightly.

Is Your Majesty in trouble?

Old Qiu's gaze moved to Chen Yan, his eyes deepened, and his pupils turned into dangerous vertical pupils in an instant.

There is the blood of Your Majesty on Chen Yan's body.

Did Your Majesty give it to her on his own initiative?

Old Qiu felt a little dissatisfied in his heart. He felt that the Lord did not care about himself enough and actually gave his blood for a human being.

He suppressed all his emotions and walked towards Chen Yan.

Chen Yan had already removed all the black water from Qing Wu's body, but because his consciousness was eroded and his body was severely injured, he could not regain consciousness for a while.

Chen Yan stood up and, looking tired, ordered several guards to bring Qingwu back to the Shen Mansion and told them to take good care of him.

As soon as he saw Chen Yan stand up, Shen Ce couldn't wait to walk towards her, but Old Qiu was one step faster than him and arrived in front of Chen Yan in the blink of an eye.

Old Qiu smiled and said, "Miss Shen, where is my master?"

"I don't know either." Chen Yan said.

The smile on Mr. Qiu's face froze slightly, and the smile faded a little.

He muttered to himself that he had never seen such a calm woman. Even though her beloved's whereabouts were unknown, she was able to remain calm and composed, as if nothing had happened.

Mr. Qiu finally lost his patience and asked, "Miss Shen, do you not like my master very much?"

Before Chen Yan could answer, Chen Ce had already come to their side and interrupted their conversation, "Your Highness, can you help me remove the black water?"

Old Qiu narrowed his eyes and slowly turned his head to look at Shen Ce.

“I really didn’t expect that District Master Shen’s strength is so weak that he doesn’t even have the ability to protect himself.”

There was undisguised sarcasm in his words.

Shen Ce raised his eyes and looked at Elder Qiu calmly. There was no ripple on his face. He responded calmly, "Of course I can't compare to Elder Qiu. After all, the age gap is there."

Qiu Laopi said with a forced smile, "Indeed, you are not even as good as me, so how can you compare to my Lord?"

There was a strong sense of tension between the two.

Chen Yan suddenly spoke, her voice clear and firm.

"I like your master."

When Shen Ce heard this, his face instantly became gloomy. He turned his head and stared at Shen Yan closely, his eyes revealing complex emotions that were difficult to conceal.

Shen Ce raised his hand and pointed at Qing Wu who was about to be sent away, "What about him?"

When Old Qiu heard what Chen Yan said, a relieved smile appeared on his face: “With Miss Chen’s words, this old man is relieved.”

At this time, Shen Ce did not shift his gaze because of Mr. Qiu's reaction. He still stared at Shen Yan, wanting to get the answer from her.

Chen Yan looked at Chen Ce calmly and said calmly: "He is my friend."

friend?

Shen Ce's expression softened slightly.

Shen Ce said, "Your Highness, the Colosseum is our Shen family's property. Such a serious chaos occurred today, and so many people died. I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to handle properly."

Hearing this, Uncle Zeng frowned and said, "The District Master of District 9 has always had a bad relationship with our Chen Mansion. I'm afraid he will use this as an excuse to deal with us."

Chen Yan's expression was slightly solemn.

"Can you defeat the District Master of District 9?"

Uncle Zeng and others: "..."

Uncle Zeng smiled bitterly: "If we could beat him, we wouldn't let him be the district leader."

"Let's talk about this when we get back." Chen Yan pursed her lips. She couldn't think of a solution for the time being. After all, she was not particularly familiar with the Ninth District and the Shen Mansion.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Everyone agreed.

Chen Yan looked at Elder Qiu, "Elder Qiu, do you have any way to find your master?"

Elder Qiu was silent for a moment, then nodded and replied firmly, "There is a way."

But then, a hint of hesitation appeared in his eyes.

Chen Yan noticed this keenly and asked, "What's wrong? Is there any difficulty?"

Elder Qiu sighed and explained, "I can sense that His Majesty has restrained his aura, as if he doesn't want others to find him easily. So, I don't know whether I should go find him."
