Chapter 567 Pleading for Her
"It's okay." Shen Ce's voice was slightly hoarse, and he gritted his teeth secretly, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."
Chen Yan nodded indifferently.
The two talked as they walked.
Shen Ce said: "Your Highness, I have contacted the old and trustworthy ministers in District 9. When the time comes, they will help us enter District 9. Your Highness, when do you want to leave for District 9?"
Chen Yan said: "Wait a little longer, then we will go with Your Excellency."
Hearing this, Shen Ce felt a little depressed. He frowned and said, “Does Your Highness trust that person so much?”
"Um."
Shen Ce pursed his lips and asked tentatively: "Your Highness, do you know Black Water?"
"I've heard a little about it." Chen Yan nodded.
Shen Ce said: “During this period, there has also been black water in District 9, so, Your Highness, we must act with caution.”
Chen Yan turned her head to look at him, "Besides District 9, where else are there black water?"
Shen Ce was stunned for a moment, and answered truthfully: "District 2, District 7, District 13."
Chen Yan asked, “Have you seen Black Water in District 13?”
“I have seen it.” Shen Ce nodded. He had been to the place where the black water was flooding with Zai Yushou and that man. It was indeed extremely polluted. No matter whether it was people or objects, they all lost their reason and became the property of the black water.
The power of black water is also extremely strong.
No ordinary practitioner can match it.
Chen Yan asked, "What do you think of Heishui?"
Shen Ce was silent for a moment, a faint light flashed in his eyes, and he said with disgust: "If the black water floods the entire dark world, the dark world will be devastated and turned into purgatory."
Chen Yan lowered her eyes when she heard this.
She learned from Feng Xingyao that most of these black waters were not independent individuals. They could only become individuals when they developed intelligence, which meant that their strength was even more terrifying.
Shen Ce saw that she was a little absent-minded, so he mentioned: “Your Highness, I drew a portrait of that fake princess, would you like to see it?”
Hearing this, Chen Yan looked at him and nodded.
Shen Ce immediately took the portrait out of the storage space, then slowly opened it and showed it to Shen Yan.
When Chen Yan saw the portrait for the first time, his expression suddenly changed.
She reached out and picked up the portrait, looking at it carefully.
She looked up and stared at Shen Ce, “Are you sure this is the person impersonating me?”
"Yes." Shen Ce noticed the change in his highness's mood and was slightly surprised. He secretly guessed that his highness should know the woman in the portrait.
He asked, "Your Highness, do you know the woman in the portrait?"
Chen Yan's face changed. She did not answer directly, but asked: "Are you sure she has been impersonating me for more than 30 years? And her bone age has reached more than 800 years?"
Shen Ce was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "Yes, Your Highness. I dare not lie to you."
Chen Yan's gaze moved to the woman in the portrait, and her emotions fluctuated rarely. This face looked exactly like Shen Xue.
Shen Xue was the adopted daughter of the Shen family of Nanxiao Kingdom.
Is this person Shen Xue?
Or maybe, just someone who looks similar to Shen Xue?
She remembered that she had chopped off Shen Xue's head with a sword, and logically, she should not have survived. Moreover, it had only been two years since Shen Xue's death.
but……
She had a vague intuition that the woman in the portrait might be Shen Xue.
Chen Yan's expression was slightly cold, "Has she ever left the dark world?"
"No." Shen Ce thought about it and shook his head.
He asked doubtfully, "Your Highness has seen her?"
Chen Yan's eyes were filled with chills. "She looks very much like an old friend of mine, but I have already chopped off the head of that old friend."
When Shen Ce heard this, his brows furrowed, and he realized that something was wrong.
He thought for a few seconds, "Your Highness, if you meet this fake princess, how will you deal with her?"
"How do you think I should deal with her?" Chen Yan asked with a smile.
Shen Ce pursed his lips and said, “First throw her into jail, then interrogate her and find out why she impersonated you, then punish her.”
Chen Yan rolled up the portrait and handed it to him, saying coldly, "Aren't you too kind? You should be beheaded for impersonating me."
Shen Ce was stunned.
Chen Yan said coldly: "According to the laws of the Tianzhou Dynasty, shouldn't it be like this?"
Shen Ce was shocked when he heard this, but he couldn't help but think of the fake princess in his mind. In fact, he had been in contact with her for more than 30 years. Although they didn't have a deep relationship, they had established some feelings.
After all, before the real Princess Chen Ke appeared, he always regarded that woman as the real princess, so he placed too many high hopes on her.
Suddenly hearing Chen Yan's decisive and ruthless treatment, Chen Ce felt a little uncomfortable.
He said, "Your Highness, she has not done anything to harm us..."
Chen Yan glanced at him coldly, "So, you are pleading for her?"
Shen Ce suddenly fell silent.
Chen Yan asked: "Do you like her?"
"No." Shen Ce quickly denied, then he knelt down towards Shen Yan, and placed his right hand on his chest to show respect and piety: "My body and soul belong only to Your Highness."
Chen Yan said calmly: "You can marry someone else, but it can't be her. She took advantage of my identity and has ulterior motives. I can't tolerate any grain of sand in my eyes."
When Shen Ce heard this, the discomfort in his heart disappeared, and was replaced by guilt.
He bowed his head, "I will always be loyal to the Tianzhou Dynasty, and I will also be loyal to Your Highness."
"I hope so." Chen Yan said lightly.
…
For several days, Feng Xingyao went out to deal with the Black Water issue and did not come back.
And Chen Yan concentrated on practicing.
She had already mastered the 'Shadow-Shifting Sword Technique', so she practiced it in the yard.
She invited Mr. Qiu to be her opponent.
At the beginning, Mr. Qiu was just trying to be perfunctory and just fought with her casually.
But as the fight went on, Mr. Qiu changed his mind.
Because Shen Yan's human talent is so strong, she can learn very quickly and can draw inferences from one example to another. If you are not careful, you will fall into her trap.
Mr. Qiu's opinion of Shen Yan changed slightly.
He became more serious and was willing to impart some experience to Chen Yan.
Chen Yan's progress is particularly fast.
The further it went on, the more Mr. Qiu felt emotional and a little satisfied with Shen Yan.
However, what particularly dissatisfied him was that Chen Yan hardly cared about the situation of his Master and was only focused on cultivation.
Mr. Qiu couldn't figure it out.
It is obvious that Your Majesty is top-notch in every aspect and is the dream lover of many women, but Chen Yan doesn't care much about it.
He felt sorry for his master.
Seven days later.
Feng Xingyao is finally back.
But he was injured.
At the same time, shocking news came that the ruler of District 13, Yu Shou, was dead!
I heard that Zai Yushou died because of black water!
After the news spread, the people in District 13 were in turmoil, and many powerful people wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to become the district master of District 13.
However, they did not dare to act rashly when they thought of Shen Ce who was still in charge of District 13.
The room was filled with a pungent burnt smell, and Feng Xingyao's arm was charred black, which was shocking to see.
His face was pale and bloodless, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his eyes revealed pain and helplessness. He leaned weakly on Shen Yan's body, as if he had lost all his strength.
"Ayan, it hurts."
