Chapter 179: The Secret of Zhixia was Exposed!
Sheng Anyi silently walked into her bedroom.
There was no one in the hall. After walking around the screen, she saw a figure swaying slightly behind the curtain.
The corner of her mouth curled into a wicked smile.
She tiptoed over and suddenly lifted the curtain, hugging the man.
"Loathsome girl, what are you doing here again…? Huh?"
Sheng Anyi scratched her head and felt something was wrong.
His sister didn't seem to have such strong muscles, right?
Moreover, this head was too high.
She raised her head in confusion and her pupils constricted.
It was actually a man.
This was the Jade Flood Dragon Pavilion, the third princess' sleeping quarters.
Other than her and her personal maidservant, no one else could have entered, including the Imperial Father.
Why would a man appear now, dressed in casual clothes?
Thinking that there was no one outside, a thought suddenly flashed through Sheng Anyi's mind.
A thief had entered the palace.
Moreover, he had trespassed into her bedroom and was a flower thief with malicious intentions.
Li Ran was dumbfounded.
When the other party came in, he sensed it. He had thought that she was just trying to scare him, but he hadn't thought that she would pounce on him.
"I didn't realize that Princess Sheng was so unrestrained before?"
He had just turned his head when a cold light lit up and a dagger suddenly stabbed at him.
Sheng Anyi said angrily, "You pervert!"
Li Ran grabbed the dagger and pressed it against the wall. He frowned. "Are you crazy?"
Sheng Anyi struggled violently. "Pervert, trespassing into the imperial palace is a capital crime. Don't tell me you don't want to live anymore?"
Li Ran was puzzled. "What pervert? You let me in… Huh? You changed your clothes so quickly?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Sheng Anyi looked up and was stunned.
“Li, Li, Li Ran?!”
Wasn't this Li Ran? Why did he appear here?
Li Ran looked at her familiar face and felt that something was wrong.
After carefully sensing it, he realized that the other party's aura was completely different. He suddenly realized something.
"Aren't you Sheng Zhixia? Who are you?"
"I…" Just as Sheng Anyi was about to speak, she heard footsteps behind her.
"Sheng Zi Li, this spiritual tea is of the highest quality…" Her voice suddenly stopped.
Pa!
The tea jar fell to the ground and shattered.
Sheng Zhixia stared blankly at them.
Li Ran pressed Sheng Anyi against the wall, while Sheng Anyi's hand was still holding onto his arm. The two of them were pressed together, making them look extremely close.
Sheng Zhixia's eyes were immediately shrouded in mist.
She held back her little mouth and said in grievance, "Sister, how could you do this?"
"Zhixia, I'll explain…"
Li Ran looked at the two similar faces and his voice tightened. "Why don't you explain it to me first?"
A moment later, the three of them sat on the chair and stared at each other.
Sheng Zhixia was speechless, "So elder sister, are you treating Sheng Zi Li like a flower thief?"
Sheng Anyi lowered her head and said embarrassedly, "You haven't even let the Imperial Father enter your room, let alone other men, and he’s even wearing casual clothes.
Sheng Zhixia shook her head and smiled wryly. "Then you have to take a good look. It's too impulsive to attack directly."
Sheng Anyi lowered her head even further. "This is my mistake. I'm sorry, Sheng Zi Li."
"It's fine."
This was a misunderstanding and Li Ran didn't care.
He rubbed his chin and looked at the two of them. "Are you twins?”
Sheng Zhixia shook her head. "No, Sister is three years older than me. We just look alike."
Li Ran was taken aback. "Aren’t you too similar?!"
The two of them looked the same. Unless one looked closely, they couldn’t see some differences.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have not recognized her immediately.
Even twins rarely had such high similarity.
Sheng Anyi said, "Imperial Father is an Emperor-level powerhouse and it's very difficult for him to give birth to a child. He needs to borrow the secret technique of the Sheng Clan… This is why we are so similar."
Sheng Zhixia added, "If we don't wear a palace dress, even the people close to us might be mistaken."
Li Ran nodded.
If one were to really say the difference between them, they might have different auras.
Sheng Anyi was more gentle, like a willow supporting the wind, while Sheng Zhixia was full of youth.
At that moment, Sheng Zhixia recalled, "I remember that Big Sister had a hood that blocked out her aura. After putting it on, even Mother almost admitted her mistake."
"Blocking aura… Hood?” Li Ran was stunned.
Thinking back to what had happened before, she looked at the red-faced Sheng Anyi and suddenly reacted.
"So the person who came to see me that day was you?"
No wonder she suddenly wanted to look at the photographic stone. It was not Sheng Zhixia!
Sheng Zhixia was puzzled. "Big sister went to find Sheng Zi Li?"
Sheng Anyi's face turned red and she was almost under the table.
Li Ran said unhappily, "It's not just that. She even pretended to be you and asked me to play a video for her."
"What?!" Sheng Zhixia suddenly stood up and stammered, "Sister, sister has already seen that image?"
Sheng Anyi nodded and said in a low voice, "I heard you say that Sheng Zi Li did something strange to you. I was worried that you would be deceived, so I took the opportunity to trick him."
"Then, you really watched it!" Sheng Zhixia covered her face and stomped her feet in embarrassment.
When she thought about how her sister had seen that embarrassing scene, she immediately panicked and wished she could find a hole in the ground.
Sheng Anyi was also embarrassed. "I didn't expect it to be like that either!"
Both of them shrugged their heads and looked as if they had no face to see anyone.
Li Ran smiled and said, "It's fine. You're about the same age anyway. Who knows if it's older sister or younger sister?"
Sheng Zhixia shook her head. "At that time, I was wearing a flood dragon robe and my sister is Princess Jinyun. The palace dress was embroidered with Xiangyun. People could tell with a single glance."
Li Ran shrugged. "Then we have no other options."
Sheng Zhixia's eyes twitched as if she had thought of something. She moved closer to Sheng Anyi and muttered.
Sheng Anyi's face instantly turned red, and her head shook like a rattle drum. "No, absolutely not!"
Sheng Zhixia replied, "That's not fair. If sister doesn't agree, I'll ignore you again!"
"But, but that's too…"
Sheng Anyi looked conflicted.
"It doesn't matter. It’s! It's not someone else anyway."
Sheng Zhixia dragged her into the bedroom and pulled on the curtains. She poked her head out and said, "Sheng Zi Li, don't peek."
"Ah?"
