Chapter 65

The faces of the guards behind him changed, but they didn't come up to attack, instead they seemed to want to run outside. I sneered, brought out two silver needles and shot straight at them.

I've said it before, my head is very good, the two silver needles seemed like they had eyes and directly stroke the two acupuncture points, the guards cannot move.

One of the guards spoke up: "You ... you actually murdered the emperor!!!"

I smiled and kicked the body of the corpse on the ground and said: "murder? Killing a dead man - moreover, someone who died ten years ago, does that still count as murder, hm?"

The guard stuttered as he said: "You, you must be crazy..."

I pat his face: "The acting is good, but there are too many flaws - if I didn't guess wrong, you probably are..."

I glanced at his face, stretched out a hand and tore off the human face mask. The guard's face revealed to be the son of Nanyuan's TaiFu, who had come as an envoy earlier for the wedding ceremony.

Seeing that I had uncovered his plan, Liu Liang did not continue to act, he smiled and said: "It's so wonderful, the empress could actually figure it out...I don't know if the empress would be able to enlighten me, how did you figure it out?"

I looked at the corpse and said: "Nanyuan has some extremely precious medical technique, called 'cultivating corpse', that is, a dead body can be raised like a living person, and the corpse can be controlled to move and speak like a living person. It's just that the corpse cannot be too far from the manipulator's body, otherwise, it will be hard to control. So, once I discovered that this Wu Min Jun is actually fake, I knew the corpse manipulator could only be you, since he came back, he has been having guards follow him around - Wu Min Jun is naturally over suspicious, there are never guards around him, now there are suddenly two, how can I doubt?

Liu Liang: "Oh, I did not think the empress will think of so many things, and would also observe such a slight detail.

I said: "It was not slight."

It was just that I used to live as Wu Min Jun, and so I know him just as well as I know myself.

"As for this man..." I paused, "perhaps this is Wu Min Jun's elder brother who died ten years ago? The technique you used to control Wu Min Jun's brother's body you must have learned from your master, Liu Shan. To master the corpse manipulation technique, you must also master the Chang language, which is also something originating from Nanyuan. If you take these two facts into account, one can figure out that the person controlling it is probably you, and can draw the conclusion - Wu Min Jun's brother somehow had a good relationship with Liu Shan, perhaps it was Liu Shan who gave him torture methods to use, and after Wu Min Jun's brother died, you people from Nanyuan secretly carried his body away and raised it. Unexpectedly, the corpse actually grew up and looks almost exactly as Wu Min Jun..."

Liu Liang was surprised and raised his eyebrows: "The Empress is really knowledgeable, you even know about the Chang language."

I said: "That's not the case, it's just that some once tried to use 'shan ji' against me, so I found out a little about it."

Liu Liang: "Oh."

**('Shanji' probably refers to some torture method, explains her interest in torture methods, remember she used to sneak down to the prison to watch. Also Liu Shan is the one who was rumored to have come up with the most gruesome torture devices.)**

I continued: "I am afraid the real Wu Min Jun is still fighting at the border with your Nanyuan...or better said, he is simple thrashing your Nanyuan. After all, I don't have to mention that the gap in strength between the two countries is too much, cough..."

His face changed slightly, but he still maintained his smile: "Please continue empress."

"In short, first you attacked Xiyuan to get Wu Min Jun to leave, then, you brought in a fake Wu Min Jun to act in the palace."

Liu Liang: "So, how did the empress notice that this is not Wu Min Jun?"

I: "There are too many reasons to count."

Two hundred fifty days, I have exchanged bodies with Wu MIn Jun, it's not difficult to figure it out.

For example like how the fake Wu Min Jun had said, "Ya'er told me that you had kicked her into the lotus pond and even dug a trap for her to fall in, is that right?" I didn't want to say anything, of course, such a retarded thing, of course only Wu Min Jun would do it. If he really wants to abolish my position, there is no need to mention such a thing. According to his character, he would just do it straight away.

But of course, I can't tell this to Liu Liang, I just casually said: "The body is a dead body after all, even if it is like a living person, it will still have the unpleasant smell of a corpse, so you can only mask it with a lot of fragrance, but the Xi Emperor hates using fragrance."

Although, since the time of using the 'water of the gods', he does not dislike it as much anymore...

Liu Liang was stunned: "Such a small detail...then, the empress knew from the beginning?"

I said: "Oh."

Then I was a little embarrassed and said: "So, in fact, you don't have to admire me. All these inferences I made were based on the thoughts, "the emperor is not the emperor'. This time I used a jade pin to prick him, but he did not bleed, only the blood of a dead person stops flowing. Therefore, I became convinced."

Liu Liang: "Even if that it is the case, it is still admirable."

I said: "Thank you."

I hid "Wu Min Jun" and Liu Liang under the bed. After a while, He TaiFu hurriedly rushed in, panting: "Empress, something big has happened! The emperor is fake!"

I acted surprised: "Really? He was just here, and I don't why, but he ran out from the window."

He TaiFu gasped and said: "Yes! The war is not over! The emperor...emperor..."

I asked: "What's wrong with the emperor?"

He TaiFu said: "The emperor is dead!"
