Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 555

As soon as she entered the water, Shen Lingjun felt a powerful suction force pulling her to the bottom.

The whirlpools created by these shipwrecks are extremely dangerous. Even those who are excellent swimmers must be careful, or they may still lose their lives at the bottom of the river.

Shen Lingjun immediately held his breath and simply followed the suction downwards. As long as he was careful not to bump into the sunken ship, he could easily escape the whirlpool once he reached the riverbed.

At the bottom of the river, it can be seen that the entire imperial ship has sunk. Because the imperial ship is made entirely of wood, it did not sink completely to the bottom, but remained semi-floating in the river.

Looking up, the river was filled with many people and debris, a chaotic mess, making it impossible to tell who was who at first glance.

Shen Lingjun took a long breath, broke free from the whirlpool, and moved away from the imperial ship. Just as she was struggling to float upwards, a hand suddenly grabbed her!

She thought it was Mo Zhonggui who had come to save her, and instinctively grabbed the other person, but when she looked up, she saw Fu Shiyan's face!

Fu Shiyan was still wearing the robes of an imperial guard, but he had already reverted to his original appearance. It was probably because the disguise would dissolve and fall off after being soaked in water, so it was gone.

Shen Lingjun was startled, only then realizing that the disguise mask on her face was gone, and she was now wearing her own face.

Shen Lingjun immediately tried to break free from Fu Shiyan and escape, but Fu Shiyan seemed to be a much better swimmer than her. Before she could break free and retreat, everything suddenly went black, and she knew nothing more.

......

When Shen Lingjun woke up, he saw a ripple of water reflected on the ceiling, with light and shadow gently swaying.

Her memories returned, and for a moment she was not quite there, thinking she was at the bottom of the Anlin Grand Canal.

She sat up abruptly and realized that she was in a room that resembled a snow cave, with a clear pool of water outside the window, which explained the rippling waves.

Shen Lingjun was completely bewildered.

She remembered that she had been captured by Fu Shi Yan... So where is this place?

Shen Lingjun got out of bed and found that not only were the windows wide open, but the door was also unlocked. She simply walked out.

Outside the gate was a small courtyard. The landscaping inside was very simple and unique. There were no exotic flowers and plants, carved railings and painted beams, as commonly seen in gardens. There were very few plants, and it was quiet, cold and empty, with only black rocks and white ground. The colors were cold and monotonous, giving people a sense of lonely emptiness.

Fu Shiyan, dressed in a light gray robe, was sitting in the courtyard brewing tea.

The tea table was made of dark black ebony, and the tea set used was made of pure white Ding kiln porcelain.

Fu Shiyan raised his eyes, glanced at Shen Lingjun, and said, "Madam Shen, why don't you come and try this Bi Tan Piao Xue, a specialty of Xiqi?"

Shen Lingjun looked at his face, which had basically returned to normal: "Has the poison you were given subsided?"

She was already surprised when they were on the imperial ship. If Fu Shi Yan was still troubled by the poison of Yu Chen, he would never have dared to assassinate the emperor. Even if he made a move or two occasionally, that would be the limit of what his body could withstand.

However, judging from the faint traces of black aura still lingering between his brows, the poison in Yu Chen may not have been completely neutralized; it has only been suppressed.

Fu Shiyan nodded: "Yes. The poison made by Madam Shen is indeed potent. It took me a lot of effort to find a solution."

Shen Lingjun glanced around: "Where is this?"
