As soon as Tu Baichuan finished questioning, heavy footsteps sounded outside.
Lin Ran didn't need to look out to know that this room had been surrounded. This was what he wanted to tell the empress just now. If she pretended to be a non-existent person in the Five Elements Imperial Guards, she would be exposed as soon as they checked.
Fortunately, the empress was not a spy sent by an enemy country, so Lin Ran was not very worried.
The empress was also very calm. She stood up and said in a neutral voice, "Commander Tu, I've already said that I'm new to the Golden Guards…"
"Nonsense!"
Tu Baichuan snorted and slammed the heavy sword in his hand on the ground, making a muffled clang. "Even if you've only been here for a day, the Golden Guards will still register your name."
"I've already said that I'm new here."
