As the voice rang out, dozens of figures suddenly appeared behind the mysterious woman. Like ghosts, they quickly surrounded Chen Yan from all directions. These people had a strong aura and cold eyes, and they were obviously masters.
Chen Yan's face turned cold when he saw this.
The mysterious woman looked at Chen Yan, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a smug smile, and said: "This play has been performed for you from the beginning, because your highness's target is only you! How is it? Do you like it?"
At this time, Shi Gang was holding the Tianzhou Divine Sword tightly with both hands, which was about to pierce his head. The sharp sword had cut his palm and blood was flowing down the sword.
He widened his eyes and stared at the mysterious woman.
"Your Highness, why?!"
"Of course it's because your heart is not with me." The woman smiled lightly, her tone relaxed and casual. As her 'alternative husband', he actually fell in love with another woman. This was undoubtedly a betrayal to her!
Shi Gang's body trembled violently, and he looked at the mysterious woman in disbelief.
But in the beginning...
She clearly agreed with me pursuing true love, so why is she regretting it now?
Could it be that the moment she agreed to let me pursue Qiqi, she already regarded me as a thorn in her side?
The woman didn't want to talk to Shi Gang, a dying man, at all. Her attention had always been on Shen Yan. Seeing that Shen Yan hadn't spoken for such a long time, she smiled and said, "Don't you have any last words?"
As soon as he finished speaking, with a "clang" sound, the Tianzhou Divine Sword in Chen Yan's hand pierced through Shi Gang's eyebrows. Shi Gang's pupils dilated and he died with his eyes open.
The woman narrowed her eyes upon seeing this.
She originally thought that Chen Yan would show mercy to Shi Gang's men, but she didn't expect that she would actually kill Shi Gang without any hesitation.
Chen Yan suddenly drew out his sword, slowly stood up, and stared at the woman wearing a pure white mask with cold eyes.
"Are you Shen Xue?"
When the woman heard this, her eyes changed slightly.
Chen Yan's voice was cold: "You are not from the Shen family. Where did the Shen bloodline in you come from? Did you steal it? Or did you exchange it?"
"Shut up, you have no right to ask me!" The woman said angrily. She sneered, "I am from the Shen family. I am Miss Shen Ke. As for you, you are just a wild girl who suddenly appeared!"
After that, the woman gave orders to everyone.
"Kill her!"
Dozens of killers who received the order exuded a terrifying aura. They immediately took action and attacked towards Chen Yan like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey!
Dozens of powerful pressures suddenly came over, as if to tear Chen Yan to pieces.
But at this moment, Chen Yan looked at the woman very calmly and asked, "Are you really sure you can take away something that doesn't belong to you?"
When the woman heard this, she frowned and felt an inexplicable sense of unease in her heart.
The next moment, she seemed to realize something and immediately looked over.
boom--
Violent explosions knocked dozens of killers to the ground.
At the same time, the dozen or so figures quickly came to Chen Yan's side.
They knelt on the ground in unison, bowed deeply, and shouted in unison: "Your Highness, please forgive us for being late in rescuing you!"
The woman who saw this scene widened her eyes in disbelief.
How is that possible?!
"Uncle...Uncle Zeng..." She couldn't help but call out to the person who had been the most loyal to her.
Uncle Zeng never even looked at her, because he was submitting to Chen Yan. Without Chen Yan's order, he did not stand up, let alone raise his head.
Chen Yan said calmly: "Get up."
"Yes, Your Highness!" More than a dozen old ministers stood up immediately.
Seeing this, the woman couldn't hide her jealousy and flew into a rage, "You betrayed my Highness! She's a fake! Why did you believe her? Is it because of that despicable man Shen Ce?"
She now hated Shen Ce very much.
If it weren't for him, how could Chen Yan come here?
The uncle Zeng slowly said, "It's not because of Shen Ce. At the beginning, we really thought you were telling the truth, but you didn't know that on the day Shen Ce entered the Ninth District, His Highness also came in safely and even came to us to prove his identity."
In fact, that day, more than a dozen old guys were arrested by the mysterious man beside His Highness and locked up together.
His Highness and that man first took revenge on them for the 'entrance formation' incident and tortured them.
After the torture, His Highness revealed his identity.
They really didn't believe it at first, until His Highness summoned the Tianzhou Divine Sword.
They believed it 70%.
Finally, it was proven through the Shen family blood stone.
This blood stone can verify the bloodline of the Shen family's direct and collateral lines.
If it is a direct descendant, the blood stone will turn red, if it is a collateral line, the blood stone will turn white. If it is not related to the Shen family, then the blood stone will not light up.
At that time, the blood stone measured by His Highness was deep red.
And now, the color of this fake prince was only light red when it was measured.
They believed her back then, firstly because of the test results of the blood stone, and secondly because she was very familiar with the affairs of "***Chen Ke" and could even tell us about what happened before the demise of the Tianzhou Dynasty.
After these dozen old guys learned that they had been fooled for decades and almost murdered the real prince, they hated this fake prince so much that they wanted to expose her true face immediately!
That night, they knelt in front of Shen Yan, weeping bitterly and confessing their sins, begging for forgiveness.
However, His Highness did not smile gently, let them up, and say "forgive them" like the fake His Highness did.
His Highness looked at them coldly and said, "If it weren't for your unwavering loyalty to the Tianzhou Dynasty, you would have been beheaded by now."
These words made their faces change in shock.
They felt the powerful aura from Chen Yan, a direct descendant of the Shen family, which made them involuntarily recall the scene of submitting to His Majesty more than 800 years ago.
Looks like, very similar!
This is the true direct descendant of the Shen family!
That night, His Highness said to them, "I'm not dead. She will definitely know. So, I want you to wait for the right moment to deliver a fatal blow to her."
"Your Highness is wise!" More than a dozen old ministers looked serious and did not dare to look down on him.
Your Highness: "Tell me everything she has done over the years."
They reported back immediately.
At the same time, Old Qiu followed Shen Ce into the Shen Mansion. Old Qiu keenly sensed the presence of Black Water in the mansion and quickly began to investigate.
Soon, Mr. Qiu found out that Shi Gang had refined the black water.
Moreover, he sneaked into the false princess's palace and heard her conversation with Shi Gang.
It turned out that she was the one who gave the Black Water to Shi Gang and asked him to refine it and to hold a Black Water beast fight to lure out Chen Yan.
In order to let the fake prince go and save his sweetheart, Shi Gang gritted his teeth and agreed.
