Signing In At Mount Sword For 100 Years To Become Invincible - Chapter 229
229 Identical Faces
Looking at the empress beside him and then at the empress on the dragon throne, Lin Ran was a little stunned because the two of them looked exactly the same!
If there was a difference, it was that the “Empress” on the dragon throne did not look well, as if she was sick. However, the empress and Lin Ran had suffered quite a lot in Great Yong, and they didn’t look so well either.
In addition to the “Empress”, Li Tianyi was also standing near the throne with a dust whisk in his arm. At this moment, he was staring at Lin Ran and the empress at the door with a puzzled expression.
“Your Majesty.”
!!
Lin Ran whispered to the empress and asked, “What’s going on? You have a twin brother… Oh, no, a twin sister?”
The empress glared at Lin Ran, then looked at the person on the dragon throne and asked coldly, “Who are you? How dare you pretend to be me? Do you know what crime you are commiting?”
The “Empress” on the dragon throne sneered when she heard this. Li Tianyi immediately went forward and shouted, “How dare you speak like that to the emperor?”
The empress cursed angrily with a gloomy expression. “Li Tianyi, how dare you speak to me like that!”
This shout carried the regal pressure of an emperor. Li Tianyi felt his legs go weak and he almost knelt on the ground. However, when he reacted, he felt that something was wrong. If the emperor was on the throne, who was the person at the door?
Before Li Tianyi could figure it out, the fake empress had already walked out of the curtain. She placed her hands behind her back and raised her head slightly.
“Who are you? Do you know what crime you are committing for barging into the throne room?”
The fake empress spoke calmly with a hint of anger in her voice, and she actually sounded identical to the empress.
“Lord Lin!”
The empress shouted and pointed at the imposter on the dragon throne. “I order you to take this person down immediately!”
Lin Ran nodded, but after a long time, he did not move. The empress was furious and couldn’t help but feel puzzled. She turned around and realized that he was staring at the imposter with his arms crossed.
“What are you doing?”
The empress couldn’t help but ask in a low voice, “I asked you to take this person down. Didn’t you hear me?”
“I heard you, but don’t be anxious!”
Lin Ran smiled indifferently, his eyes still fixed on that imposter. “Although I haven’t fully recovered yet, it’s not a problem for me to obliterate the entire palace.”
At this point, Lin Ran glanced at Li Tianyi. “So calm down. You’re so flustered. Those who don’t know really might think that you are the fake one.”
Hearing that, the empress immediately felt even more indignant.
However, before she could speak, Lin Ran suddenly asked, “Do you really not have twin sisters?”
The empress frowned. “Of course not!”
Lin Ran nodded thoughtfully. “Then this imposter must be wearing a human skin mask.”
Seeing that Lin Ran was so sure, the empress suddenly had the intention to be playful. She narrowed her eyes and asked faintly, “Are you so sure that I’m the real one? Is it because I went with you to Nanjiang Town?”
“I know you’re real, but it’s not because we went to Nanjiang Town together.”
Lin Ran smiled ambiguously. Then, he sized up the empress’s body. “My eyes are especially acute when it comes to differentiating girls’ figures.”
The empress was stunned for a moment before she blushed. “You old goat!”
Lin Ran shrugged and didn’t seem to mind being branded as that.
On the other side.
Seeing the two of them muttering under their breaths, Li Tianyi waved his dust whisk and scolded coldly, “What are the two of you plotting over there? Let me tell you! This is the palace. There’s…”
Before he could finish speaking, a glint flashed across Lin Ran’s eyes. In the next second, he appeared near the throne!
Before Li Tianyi could react, Lin Ran knocked him unconscious.
The fake empress was shocked. She was about to call the guards when a large hand covered her mouth.
“Quiet. Let me see what you are first.”
Lin Ran covered the empress’s mouth and whispered. He turned her face to the side. Then, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the skin near her ear.
The biggest flaw of the human skin mask was where the face and ears were connected. However, after Lin Ran observed it carefully for a moment, his expression gradually became strange.
“No mask.”
Lin Ran looked at the empress at the door of the throne room and said. It was unknown if it was intentional or not, but his eyes were clearly vigilant.
The empress’s expression changed and she hurriedly said, “Why are you looking at me like that? I don’t have a mask either!”
As if afraid that Lin Ran wouldn’t believe her, the empress deliberately turned her head and rubbed the skin beside her ear. Other than being slightly red, there was indeed nothing unusual.
Seeing this, Lin Ran’s expression became even stranger. He looked at the empress whose mouth was covered by his hand and let go of her slightly. “Who are you?”
Lin Ran gestured for the empress to come over. After all, the empress was an expert in making human skin masks. She might be able to discover something he couldn’t
Seeing Lin Ran’s reaction, the empress also realized that something was wrong.
After thinking for a moment, the empress turned around and closed the door of the throne room. Then, she jogged to the throne. “What’s wrong?”
Lin Ran pressed the “fake empress” in a dragon robe onto the throne and looked at the empress. He said softly with a strange expression, “Come and take a look. She doesn’t seem to have a mask.”
“No mask?”
When the empress heard this, her expression became a little strange. Then, she leaned over to take a closer look.
Seeing this scene, Lin Ran suddenly felt a little strange. The two empresses looked exactly the same. They seemed to be looking at each other through the mirror.
In just a few seconds, the empress stood up. Although she did not say a word, her brows were filled with confusion.
“Did your ministers find someone to pretend to be you just so people don’t know you are not in the palace?”
However, before the empress could speak, Lin Ran shook his head and denied his guess. “No, if it;s so, this imposter would have confessed it when she saw you.”
The empress nodded slightly in agreement. Looking at the face that was exactly the same as her, she suddenly looked at Lin Ran. “What if the people in the palace still think I’m in the palace?”
Lin Ran’s eyes flickered. “You mean… after you left, this person immediately replaced you?”
The empress nodded slightly. Lin Ran immediately realized that this was possible.
The people in the palace did not know that the empress was out, so they naturally would not suspect the identity of this “fake empress”. This “fake empress” had ulterior motives for sneaking into the palace. Even if she saw the real empress, she would not admit it!
