The Ming Dynasty: Starting with the Somersault Cloud, Old Zhu was so envious he cried!

Zhu Ming turned around and looked at Xu Miaoyun, who was still slumped on the ground, her face pale and her eyes still showing a trace of lingering fear.

Clearly, they hadn't recovered from the terrifying scene just now.

Zhu Ming quickly stepped forward, squatted down, and asked with concern, "Sister Miaoyun, are you alright?"

"Are you hurt? Did that guy touch you?"

Xu Miaoyun raised her head, glanced at Zhu Ming, and moved her lips as if she wanted to say something, but didn't know where to begin.

After a long while, she finally suppressed her fear and asked in a trembling voice, "Your Highness, what exactly happened just now?"

"Why are there two of me?"

"What exactly is that thing that looks exactly like me?"

As she spoke, she unconsciously touched her neck.

If it weren't for the Sixth Prince's timely rescue, she probably would have...

Zhu Ming felt a little guilty seeing her still in shock.

It's his fault, really.

If he hadn't taken out the replica mirror and hadn't put it away in time, this whole mess wouldn't have happened.

Zhu Ming scratched his head, organized his thoughts, and awkwardly explained:

"Well... it's a long story."

"Simply put, that mirror we just saw was called a replica mirror."

"Its ability is to replicate everything."

"If you put something in front of a mirror, it will create an exact copy of it for you."

Xu Miaoyun looked completely bewildered: "Copy everything?"

"That's right."

Zhu Ming nodded and continued, "Anything, like gold, silver, or jewelry, can be replicated."

"However, this thing has a drawback."

"It can replicate not only inanimate objects, but also living things, such as people."

Xu Miaoyun: "!!!"

Her eyes widened suddenly.

"A...a living person?"

"That's right."

Zhu Ming sighed and said:

"You stood in front of the mirror for a long time, and the mirror made a copy of you."

"The cloned version of you looks exactly like you, but it has its own consciousness."

"Besides, her ideas are different from yours."

"She wants to replace you."

Xu Miaoyun felt a chill run down her spine and couldn't help but shiver.

"Replace me?"

"That's right."

Zhu Ming nodded and said earnestly:

"She will kill you, and then take your place in this world."

"At that time, no one will be able to tell which one is real and which one is fake."

"Because you two are exactly the same, inside and out."

Upon hearing this, Xu Miaoyun's face turned even paler.

She subconsciously shrank her neck, as if the clone of herself was still beside her.

"Then...then she..."

"Don't worry, I've already taken care of it."

Zhu Ming waved his hand and comforted her, "I just kicked her back into the mirror."

"Besides, I've already put this mirror away and won't take it out casually again."

"Don't worry, everything's alright."

Xu Miaoyun looked at Zhu Ming for a long time before slowly nodding.

Although I'm still a little scared, at least the crisis is over.

At this moment, Zhu Ming struck a pose, raised his head, and said to Xu Miaoyun with a smug look, "Sister Miaoyun, wasn't my kick just now cool?"

Xu Miaoyun recalled the way Zhu Ming had kicked her earlier, and her lips twitched involuntarily.

That posture looked really strange.

But it is undeniable that—

He is indeed quite handsome.

Xu Miaoyun was just about to say a few words of praise,

But the next second, as if she had thought of something, her eyes suddenly changed.

"etc……"

She slowly lowered her head and looked at Zhu Ming.

That kick just now...

It looks like he kicked it pretty hard.

Although that person was a fake, it had nothing to do with me.

but……

That person looks exactly like me.

Same face, same figure, same clothes.

Zhu Ming's kick was incredibly powerful.

She was watching from the sidelines, and she felt as if that kick had landed on her.

Thinking of this, Xu Miaoyun's eyes gradually turned dangerous.

She stared at Zhu Ming, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, revealing a rather "kind" smile.

"Your Highness..."

Zhu Ming was striking a few poses with a smug look on his face.

Hearing Xu Miaoyun call him in that tone suddenly startled him.

He instinctively took half a step back and chuckled dryly, "Ah? Sister Miaoyun, what's wrong?"

Xu Miaoyun smiled slightly and said slowly:

"Nothing much, I just suddenly wanted to ask Your Highness, did you enjoy that kick just now?"

Zhu Ming: "???"

He looked bewildered and asked, "Huh? What's so great about it?"

"Stop pretending to be confused." Xu Miaoyun snorted coldly, her face full of coquettishness, "Your Highness used quite a bit of force when you kicked that fake just now."

"It made a 'crack' sound, and it hurt just to hear it."

"Besides, that fake looks exactly like me. Your Highness kicked it so hard, it's hard not to be suspicious..."

"Is Your Highness using this as a pretext for personal revenge?"

Zhu Ming: "!!!"

His eyes widened suddenly.

"ha?!"

"Sister Miaoyun, what are you saying!"

"Am I, Zhu Ming, that kind of person?!"

Zhu Ming panicked and quickly waved his hands to explain:

"No, Sister Miaoyun, let me explain!"

"I was just so worried about Sister Miaoyun's safety that I acted a little too forcefully!"

"It's absolutely not some kind of abuse of power for personal gain or revenge!"

But Zhu Ming forgot one thing.

Trying to reason with a woman is like talking to a brick wall.

Especially when a woman is angry.

Even Confucius couldn't win the argument!

The little guy's eyes lit up, and he suddenly had an idea.

He suddenly raised his head, looked behind Xu Miaoyun, and exclaimed in surprise, "Mother, you're here!"

Xu Miaoyun's expression changed. Forgetting about settling scores with Zhu Ming, she immediately turned around, bowed, and respectfully greeted, "This humble woman greets Your Majesty the Empress!"

However, no one responded after he finished speaking.

It was quiet all around; there wasn't a sound.

Xu Miaoyun: "???"

What's going on?

Why isn't Your Majesty speaking?

She secretly raised her head and looked ahead, but there was no Empress in sight, not even a shadow of her.

Xu Miaoyun: "..."

She realized it instantly.

I've been tricked.

Then she turned her head sharply, and sure enough, Zhu Ming had already run to the door in a flash.

He held onto the door frame with one hand, turned his head and made a face at Xu Miaoyun, saying with a grin.

"Sister Miaoyun, I actually lied to you!"

"That kick just now really felt good!"

Xu Miaoyun's face instantly darkened.

"Zhu——Ming——!!!"

When the little guy saw that things were not going well, he turned around and ran away without saying a word.

They were as fast as the wind, disappearing in the blink of an eye!

Only one sentence remained, which drifted back from afar.

"Sister Miaoyun, I'm leaving now. Remember to come for dinner later!"

Xu Miaoyun stood there, staring at the empty doorway, trembling with anger.

The next second, she finally couldn't hold back any longer and rushed out the door, chasing after Zhu Ming in the direction he had left, shouting, "Zhu Ming, where are you going?!"
