After seeing her.
Zeng Anmin nearly stood up to bow to her and call out, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
But he forcibly stopped himself.
His brows furrowed.
He looked toward the people around him.
Others nearby had also seen Gu Xiangnan.
Yet after seeing her, they immediately shifted their gazes elsewhere, without the slightest reaction.
Seeing this scene.
Zeng Anmin knew that something was definitely unusual!
For one thing, even if no one in this Jiaofang Division had ever seen the Empress and mistook her for a stranger.
That face of hers alone would have caused a stir among anyone who saw it, male or female.
Even if there was no commotion, people would certainly be unable to resist taking a few more looks.
But Zeng Anmin observed very carefully.
Almost every single person lowered their heads again quite normally after seeing the Empress.
It was precisely that complete lack of concern.
That made his heart sink sharply.
There were now two possibilities.
First, he had been exposed.
Everyone here was an ambush laid by the Empress.
But that possibility was nearly nonexistent.
He dared guarantee that, apart from Bai Ziqing, no one else could possibly see through his identity.
And Bai Ziqing... based on Zeng Anmin's understanding of him.
Even if that guy died, he would never betray him.
Then there was the second possibility.
"The Empress must have some treasure on her that interferes with people's souls or Spiritual Power."
"This treasure can alter or conceal her appearance."
"So, in other people's eyes, she should currently look like an utterly ordinary person."
"It is only because I have the Unyielding Martial God bug granted by the system that I remain unaffected."
Zeng Anmin's thoughts were grave yet certain.
Otherwise, there was simply no way to explain the bizarre scene
