Chapter 381 Everything is possible
"No, these are just your guesses..."

The second princess still couldn't believe it.

Shen Cheng said straightforwardly: "Then I won't stop you from looking for Bai Bo, but if you do so, I will immediately take Qingsha away from Dragon Territory and fly away. You can handle the rest by yourself."

The second princess stared at him blankly, then suddenly collapsed to the ground, her face pale, and she muttered to herself, "Why did things turn out like this?"

She originally thought that the fake queen was just a stupid thing done by the eldest prince, but now she discovered that Zhou Cheng was the mastermind behind it, and Bai Bo was very likely involved.

This was an extremely hopeless situation for the second princess, and she could not think of any possibility of breaking it.

The Red Dragon Queen, the only one who can solve the situation, is sleeping!

My God, why do you choose to sleep at this time instead of going to bed early or late?

The second princess, with a look of despair on her face, sat on the ground in a daze for a while. She looked at Shen Cheng standing next to her, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

"You can't go."

The second princess reached out and grabbed Shen Cheng's pants: "Don't leave, help me."

In her heart, only Shen Cheng, a mysterious and powerful man, could help her.

"Listen to what you are saying."

Shen Cheng looked down at her: "There are two legends on the opposite side, are you planning to let me die?"

The second princess also knew that her request was too unreasonable, but Shen Cheng was her only lifeline now, so she could not let go.

"Didn't you just successfully escape from Zhou Cheng with me? No one else can do such a thing."

The second princess grabbed Shen Cheng's clothes and climbed onto him: "Zhou Cheng and Bai Bo will definitely harm my mother. If you take my sister away, if something happens to my mother, my sister will definitely feel guilty for the rest of her life."

Shen Cheng said coldly: "It's better to feel guilty than to die."

The second princess still held onto his clothes and refused to let go: "But I believe my sister will choose to stay. She will not run away even if it means losing her life."

"and then?"

Shen Cheng asked expressionlessly, "Knowing that she would die if she stayed, did you still want your sister to stay and be buried with you? How can you be such a sister?"

You're not the only one who can use moral blackmail, I can do it too!
The second princess was slightly stunned.

After a few seconds, she loosened her hands that were tightly holding Shen Cheng's clothes and fell back to the ground.

"You're right. My sister shouldn't have stayed to die."

The second princess' eyes turned red: "I'm sorry for letting you see my miserable state. You should take my sister away."

Shen Cheng asked: "What about you?"

"Running away isn't my style."

The second princess's expression revealed a hint of determination: "I will stay and find a way to wake up my mother. If I fail...you must keep it secret from my sister and never let her come back."

Shen Cheng nodded: "I will, take care."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Hearing Shen Cheng's leaving footsteps, the second princess did not look back, but the determined expression on her face suddenly disappeared and she bit her lower lip tightly.

The second princess had never cried since she came of age, but at this moment she couldn't help wanting to cry. An extremely strong feeling of powerlessness filled her whole body.

Snapped!
A hand suddenly reached out from behind and patted the second princess on the shoulder.

The second princess turned around abruptly, her big eyes filled with tears as she stared blankly at Shen Cheng who had returned.

Shen Cheng coughed lightly and said, "I suddenly feel that you are right. Rather than letting Qingsha feel guilty for the rest of her life, it is better to stay with her."

The second princess stared at Shen Cheng in a daze, then suddenly opened her arms and hugged him, gnashing her teeth and saying in his ear, "Brother-in-law, you bastard! Is it fun to play tricks on me like this?!"

As she said this, the tears in her eyes finally slid down her cheeks.

But there was no despair in these tears.

"I'm not kidding you. I'm thinking this through carefully."

Shen Cheng grabbed the Second Princess's shoulders and gently pushed her away: "I think we still have a chance."

The second princess wiped away the tears on her face with her hands and asked quickly, "What opportunity?"

Shen Cheng let go of her shoulders: "If Zhou Cheng and Bai Bo are the masterminds, they can control the entire Dragon Territory together, so why did they go to the trouble of creating a fake to pretend to be your mother, and also announce that they chose you and the eldest prince as the heirs?"

"that is because……"

The second princess frowned and thought, and suddenly refuted Shen Cheng's words: "You are wrong, even if Zhou Cheng and Bai Bo join forces, they can't control the entire Dragon Domain!"

Shen Cheng raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

According to his understanding, two legends were enough to control such a huge empire.

The second princess looked proud: "Because you don't know my mother's status in the Dragon Territory. All the citizens are fanatically worshipping her. If Zhou Cheng and Bai Bo dare to rebel blatantly, countless people will stand up against them, even their subordinates. Unless Zhou Cheng and Bai Bo kill everyone, they can't replace my mother's position while she is still alive. And once things get out of hand, or even a war breaks out, my mother is likely to wake up from her slumber."

Shen Cheng asked: "Since your mother is of such a high status, why would Zhou Cheng and Bai Bo betray your mother?"

The second princess's pride froze. "There must be a very special reason. It can't be just to seize the throne. This is meaningless to them."

Shen Cheng agreed with this point. When reaching the realm of legend, worldly power or status is completely useless. Any legend would hope that he can go further in his destiny instead of wasting time on some meaningless worldly things.

"Regardless of why Zhou Cheng and Bai Bo betrayed their mother, they didn't dare to do it openly because everyone would be against them, so they could only secretly create a fake person to replace their mother while she was asleep."

The Second Princess continued to speak according to her own thoughts: "They want to choose between me and the eldest prince as the heir. It must be because they want to put a puppet on the stage and create the illusion that my mother has retreated behind the scenes. In this way, even if my mother does not show up for a long time in the future, no one will suspect her."

This assumption is very logical. Shen Cheng praised: "Your inference is very powerful. I thought that just crying was your true ability."

The second princess blushed and quickly explained, "It's just that this is my first time encountering a legendary enemy, so it's inevitable that I'm a little bit out of control."

When it comes to handling government affairs, she is certainly adept at it and can come up with various strategies and plans with ease.

But everything she was good at was useless in front of an enemy like the Legend, which made her feel deeply desperate.

Shen Cheng let out a long "Oh" and said, "You grabbed my clothes and begged me not to leave, right?"

The second princess finally couldn't hold it anymore, she reached out and slapped Shen Cheng hard, saying angrily, "You're annoying."

Shen Cheng hit her, then changed the subject: "Assuming your reasoning is correct, what do you think Zhou Cheng and Bai Bo will do to your mother? Kill her while she is asleep?"

The second princess denied this possibility: "It's impossible. If there is any danger, mother will definitely wake up from her deep sleep."

"Remember what I just told you? Everything is possible."

Shen Cheng said seriously, "Suppose Zhou Cheng and Bai Bo really have some power that can threaten your mother." The Second Princess frowned and said, "Then they might have used it a long time ago, right?"

"Maybe the time is not right yet?"

"You'll never get far if you keep making assumptions like that."

"I am anticipating the enemy and defeating him before he comes."

Shen Cheng also knew that there would be no end to his guessing: "Then don't worry about what they are going to do. There is only one thing we need to do - wake your mother up."

The second princess nodded heavily: "That's right, as long as mother wakes up, no one can cause any trouble."

Seeing that the Second Princess agreed to his proposal, Shen Cheng asked the most crucial question: "Do you know how to wake up your mother?"

"This……"

The second princess was stuck.

Although the Red Dragon Queen often fell into a deep sleep, no one ever dared to wake her up in the middle of the night. They always waited for her to sleep until she woke up naturally.

Seeing that the Second Princess remained silent, Shen Cheng was surprised and asked, "You don't know how to wake up your mother, do you?"

The second princess was a little embarrassed: "Because no one has ever done this, but my mother has woken up several times in the middle of her sleep, which is enough to prove that she will not fall asleep forever."

Hearing the second princess's weak testimony, Shen Cheng sighed helplessly.

The enemy is so powerful, and my teammates are all weak. There is not even one person who can help. I have to lead the team alone.

Seeing Shen Cheng sigh, the second princess felt a sense of guilt for the first time.

But Shen Cheng quickly cheered up. He was not at the end of his rope yet. If nothing could be done, he could just run away.

"We'll talk about waking up your mother later. Now find a way to leave first."

"Thinking of a way to leave?"

The second princess looked around in surprise: "Didn't we leave already?"

She remembered that Shen Cheng's ability was teleportation, so he should have left the palace by now.

This time it was Shen Cheng's turn to feel embarrassed.

Originally, he didn't want the second princess to know that he owned a miniature world, so he used his ability of teleportation to fool her.

Now that the boomerang has hit me, I can only explain it to her.

After listening to Shen Cheng's explanation, the second princess opened her eyes wide in surprise and couldn't help but look around.

Compared to common abilities like teleportation, having an independent world is obviously more shocking.

This means that Shen Cheng always has an absolutely safe retreat and safe space, and he can even hide more teammates in it and release them at the critical moment to catch the opponent off guard.

But after being shocked, the second princess thought of a key question: "In other words, are we still in the palace now?"

Shen Cheng nodded slowly: "You can say that."

His miniature world is good in every way except for one shortcoming: you will exit from the same place you entered, and the entrance and exit are fixed and cannot be moved at will.

If Zhou Cheng had been guarding the entrance all the time, Shen Cheng would definitely run into him again after going out.

The second princess also realized the seriousness of the problem, but she chose to believe Shen Cheng: "It's okay, I believe you can take me out."

"You'd better doubt it."

Shen Cheng himself was not completely sure.

In fact, he had another choice, which was to summon Bai Jun and the other two to deal with Zhou Cheng, while he himself tried to find a way to awaken the Red Dragon Queen.

But this method is very risky, because Shen Cheng himself is not sure whether he can wake up the Red Dragon Queen. It would be terrible if he cannot wake her up.

Moreover, this is not the Eternal Empire, but the Dragon Domain. The appearance of Bai Jun and the other two here is tantamount to an invasion, but if things get out of hand, they might be besieged by the entire Dragon Domain, not to mention Bai Bo who might be hiding in the dark.

Bai Jun and the other two are Shen Cheng's trump cards and should not be used rashly until the critical moment.

Fortunately, Shen Cheng had hidden Yan Qiuli in the microcosm before, and now is the time for her to come in handy.

Shen Cheng brought the second princess to find Tian Xuanxing and Yan Qiuli. He briefly introduced himself to both parties, then explained the situation to Yan Qiuli and asked her to help him tell two divinations.

The first hexagram is, when is the best time to leave?
The second question is whether it is possible to successfully awaken the Red Dragon Queen now?
Yan Qiuli's divination skills have improved by leaps and bounds. No one can beat her except the prophets Ji Chan and Leng Li.

So even if it involves Shen Cheng's divination, he can now successfully come to the conclusion - it is best to leave after two hours.

Because the second divination involved the Red Dragon Queen, the result was not very accurate and it was impossible to determine success or failure.

However, Yan Qiuli obtained a hexagram, which showed an ominous sign and implied that the risk was extremely high, so it was not recommended.

Seeing this, Shen Cheng could only suppress the idea of ​​achieving success in one go.

They still had to wait here for two hours, so Shen Cheng found an excuse to let Tian Xuanxing and Yan Qiuli go back into the house to prevent them from continuing to contact the second princess.

Because the second princess always asks questions like a curious baby and looks innocent and cute, but Shen Cheng knows that this vixen is collecting information about Shen Cheng through communication.

When it comes to interpersonal relationships and understanding people's hearts, Tian Xuanxing and Yan Qiuli combined are no match for the Second Princess. It is easy for her to trick them into saying things they shouldn't, so the best way is to isolate both parties.

The second princess obviously saw this, but she said nothing and stayed quietly by Shen Cheng's side.

Shen Cheng didn't speak, and the second princess didn't speak either. The two seemed to be playing a game in which whoever spoke first would lose.

Two hours is not a long time, but in such silence, every minute and every second seems a little long.

An hour later, the second princess finally couldn't hold it in anymore and gave in first.

"I say, are you mute? Why don't you speak?"

"You haven't said anything either? Are you mute too?"

"Because I don't know what to say."

"Then you have a mouth for nothing. You might as well pretend to be dumb."

The second princess said dissatisfiedly: "You are so annoying when you talk like that. My sister must beat you up often, right?"

Shen Cheng nodded: "Yeah, we fought so hard that the bed often collapsed."

What Shen Cheng said was true, but the second princess had obviously misunderstood something. Instead of continuing the conversation, she turned her back to Shen Cheng and muttered "pervert" under her breath.
