Just as Lin Ran was feeling puzzled, the empress's voice sounded in his mind again. "Lin Ran? Can you hear me?"
"Yes!"
Lin Ran immediately replied. Now, he was very sure that it was the empress's voice!
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Hongshan pursed his lips in annoyance. "Why are you shouting again?"
"Nothing."
Only then did Lin Ran remember that there was someone beside him. He replied in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I can hear you!"
After a few seconds, the empress's voice sounded again. "Lin Ran! Lin Ran!"
"I can hear you! Go on!"
Lin Ran replied impatiently in a low voice. After saying that, he felt that something was wrong.
He had already replied three times, but the empress kept calling him, as if she could not hear his reply at all.
"Am I in an illusion too?"
Just as he thought this, the empress's voice sounded again.
