Chen Yan looked at him indifferently, "Have you fulfilled your engagement with her?"
"No." Shen Ce quickly denied it. He lowered his eyes and said, "I am still innocent."
"I originally didn't understand why she wanted to publicize her identity. Now I understand a little better. She's fake. She wants to use this identity to get close to me and the former officials of the Tianzhou Dynasty, and then gain resources, power and prestige from it."
"Old minister?" Chen Yan's eyes moved slightly.
Shen Ce met her gaze and realized that she really didn't care whether she would be deceived or not, and he couldn't help feeling disappointed.
He is obviously her fiancé...
No, he's just one of the potential emperor husbands.
As a potential imperial husband, he also had the right to choose not to become the emperor's husband. As long as he had sex with another woman, the cinnabar mark on his collarbone would fade, and from then on, his chastity would no longer be linked to the emperor's marriage, and he could marry and have children.
But if it is combined with ***, then the cinnabar mark on the collarbone will not disappear.
Unless you lose your virginity.
The Tianzhou Dynasty places great importance on chastity. Whether male or female, Taoist couples must belong to each other wholeheartedly. Therefore, Chen Ce has been waiting for Chen Yan's arrival.
Chen Ce still remembered that there were thirteen people who had been chosen alongside him as potential imperial husbands for his wife, Chen Ke. However, time had passed, and four of those candidates had passed away. Three had married and had children, while another had found his true love. As for the others, their whereabouts were unknown.
Shen Ce stared deeply at the Shen Yan in front of him.
He had been waiting for her and their return.
He recalled his humble beginnings as a slave, but his fate was transformed by His Majesty's help. Later, the Grand Master's words, "This child's fate is suitable for Your Highness. Consider him one of the potential Imperial Consorts," transformed his status and position. From then on, he became the envy of all.
Chen Ce looked at Chen Yan and said respectfully, "Yes, Your Highness. Your Highness, do you want to see them? They are loyal to you and the entire Tianzhou royal family. They left the Changming Realm and came to the Dark Realm because they heard that you were here."
Suddenly, Shen Ce stood up with a guilty look on his face, then walked to Shen Yan's knees, knelt down, and said in a heavy tone: "It was Shen Ce who made a mistake in judgment and trusted that woman, allowing her to impersonate you for more than 30 years. Now, the old ministers all trust her very much. If I were to expose her identity now, I am afraid they would not be convinced. Therefore, Shen Ce begs Your Highness to personally take back the identity."
Chen Yan did not answer immediately, obviously thinking.
If she went to see her old ministers, she would inevitably waste a lot of time in the dark world.
The fake princess had been impersonating her for more than thirty years.
"An old minister wants to see you." Chen Yan said, "But before you do, you have to tell me about their background and what kind of person is the woman who pretended to be me?"
Shen Ce's heart moved when he heard this.
He bowed his head and replied, "Yes, Your Highness, Shen Ceding will tell you everything he knows."
…
An hour passed after the two finished their conversation.
Chen Yan stood up and was about to leave when she was stopped by Chen Ce.
He lowered his voice and reminded: "Your Highness, be careful of that man."
That man? Feng Xingyao?
Chen Yan turned her head and glanced at him, "Why should we be careful of him?"
Shen Ce said: "He is very dangerous and not suitable for Your Highness."
"I know what's going on." Chen Yan said calmly.
Shen Ce choked slightly, and his heart sank a little.
Chen Yan opened the door and the person who came into view was Feng Xingyao.
Feng Xingyao seemed not to hear what Shen Ce was saying to him, but reached out to Shen Yan.
Chen Yan naturally raised her hand and placed it on his strong and powerful palm.
The two left side by side.
"Are you tired?" he asked softly on the way.
"What's so tiring about this?" Chen Yan shook her head. "You were waiting for me outside the door just now?"
"Um."
Hearing this, Chen Yan held his hand a little tighter.
"I only talk about business with him, not love."
Feng Xingyao lowered his eyes and smiled, "I know."
Chen Yan was dazzled by his smile and said, "I have something to tell you. I will go to District 9 with Chen Ce to meet with old officials and deal with the person who pretended to be me."
Feng Xingyao paused slightly, he reached out and stroked Chen Yan's cheek, raised his eyebrows and said: "Coincidentally, I will also go to the Ninth District next."
"Aren't we destined to be together?"
When Chen Yan heard this, a smile unconsciously appeared on her face and she nodded.
"yes."
As soon as he finished speaking, he pressed his lips down, imprinting them on Shen Yan's eyebrows.
This time, Chen Yan did not retreat or resist.
After Feng Xingyao kissed her gently, he stroked her eyebrows with his fingertips and couldn't help but say, "Your eyebrows and eyes are so beautiful."
Chen Yan was slightly stunned when he heard this.
No wonder he always likes to kiss his own eyebrows.
At this point, she remembered something and asked, "When can I see your true form?"
This made Feng Xingyao's smile freeze instantly. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "When do you want to see it?"
Chen Yan smiled and said, "Go back to the room and take a look."
"Now?"
"Yeah." She nodded in agreement.
Seeing that his reaction was a little unnatural, she asked, "Is your true form very ugly?"
"Of course not." Feng Xingyao denied it immediately and remained silent for a moment. He just felt that his real body was not majestic and domineering enough.
Chen Yan comforted softly: "It's okay, no matter how ugly it is, I won't care."
Feng Xingyao: "..."
"If you are ready, let me see it again." Chen Yan added considerately.
Feng Xingyao was extremely depressed.
Chen Yan asked, "I heard that the Ninth District is extremely dangerous. Are you planning to go to the Ninth District this time because there is also black water there?"
Feng Xingyao nodded: "Yes, a few days ago, there was news that there was also black water in the ninth district."
At this point, he looked at Chen Yan seriously and said, "Your cultivation is still low. After entering the Ninth District, I will stay by your side as much as possible. If I am not there, Elder Qiu will stay by your side to protect you."
"Mr. Qiu?"
At this time, Feng Xingyao looked in a certain direction.
In a moment, an old man in white appeared not far away. There were obvious scales on his cheeks. He smiled and bowed to Chen Yan.
"Miss Shen, my name is Qiu Yue."
"Mr. Qiu." Chen Yan was slightly surprised. She had not noticed his existence. She thought that his strength must be much higher than hers. She smiled and nodded slightly at him.
Mr. Qiu smiled.
“From now on, if you have anything, Miss Shen can tell this old man.”
"good."
"I will take my leave first." Upon hearing this, Mr. Qiu raised his hand and bowed.
In the blink of an eye, the person disappeared.
Chen Yan took in this scene, deep in thought.
Feng Xingyao noticed her strangeness and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
She looked up and asked, "Old Qiu is also a demon, right?"
