This King wants you to take her place and stay by This King's side for all eternity.

Even though he had made sufficient mental preparations, it was still like a thunderclap that had struck his ears. Zi Ling's words still caused her entire body to stiffen, as though she was holding a lump in her throat.

Xiao Zhihe finally understood why the Emperor Xun said that.

"You dare to say that I, Xiao Zhihe, a person who is made of flesh and blood would be regarded as a substitute for the late Empress?"

Suddenly, an indescribable heart-wrenching pain assaulted him, Xiao Zhihe bent down and bent her body, grabbing onto the cloth covering her chest as she panted heavily, scaring the servant girl beside him, Empress! What's going on with you, Empress?

Xiao Zhihe trembled in pain, her lips turned white, but her rationality remained clear — This feeling, this premonition, it seemed like that person was about to come out! No! At this moment... At this very moment, she couldn't disappear! She clearly still had many questions, many doubts, many grievances … I want to talk to that hateful and hateful man!

Xiao Zhihe bit her lower lip and staggered to her feet, using all her strength to push Zi Ling away from the room. She screamed crazily, Zi Ling, get out of here! Don't look at me! Get out!

Everyone below, get out! Not a single one! This was an order from the imperial concubine!

Xiao Zhihe held onto the edge of the table, looked at the servants in the hall and shouted with difficulty: Those who disobey will be killed without mercy!

The two rows of Palace Maid s waiting at the door looked at each other. Seeing Xiao Zhihe's crazed and terrifying look, they were extremely afraid, no one dared to go against him, and immediately disappeared without a trace.

Zi Ling was pushed out of the door by Xiao Zhihe. She was at a loss as to what to do. Before she even had the chance to shout out, Xiao Zhihe had already struck the ground! She slammed the door shut.

Empress! Open the door, Your Highness!

Empress! "Your Highness, open the door!" If you have any serious illness, open the door and we'll go to see the imperial physician … Empress, please don't scare Zi Ling!

Zi Ling begs you! "Open the door, Your Highness!"

Ignoring the tearful sounds of Zi Ling hitting and hitting the door, Xiao Zhihe endured the pain of her chest as she slowly walked into the hall.

After walking a few steps, she suddenly felt that it was difficult to breathe. With her back leaning against the jade pillar, she gasped for breath, when suddenly her legs went soft and she fell down, Xiao Zhihe onto the ground heavily.

Lifting up one of her slender arms, she saw several wisps of faint white smoke emerging from her fingertips. Xiao Zhihe couldn't help but smile bitterly as tears welled up in her eyes.

You're here, Xiao He.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Xiao Zhihe had disappeared from her original spot. Replacing him was a red-haired man with a robust physique who was sitting on the ground.

Xiao He opened his eyes, a pair of deep and heavy black pupils were overflowing with blood waves. He slowly stood up, like a brown bear that had just walked out of a mountain, grinding his fists and fighting for his prey. Xiao Zhihe, this time, I have finally found something for you.

On Xiao He's face that was as hard as a statue, a mocking smile rose. His heart was still lingering after being eaten by me, seizing my body … My memories and still having the strength to resist … As expected of a first rate Soul Power User whose Hong Huang Kingdom was hard to come across. The depth of his obsession had truly broadened his horizons.

"You … "You shameless man-eating demon …"

It was as if some kind of strange brainwave was shuttling through, Xiao He could clearly hear a weak female voice in his head, it was Xiao Zhihe's voice, and at that moment, she was cursing herself powerlessly.

He thought that you had some kind of ability. Earlier, you randomly appeared in the Emperor's chamber and wiped away his memories to lock me in your mind. Xiao Zhihe, I really thought that I was going to be tricked to death by you. Xiao He laughed out loud, narrowing her unfathomably deep, frivolous and crafty eyes. Right now you can only be arrogant a few times, but Yours Truly knows, as long as you are willing to let go, you won't be able to suppress me.

Then it will disappear.

"You … "You're lying!"

Especially things related to that wretched Emperor, they would affect you greatly. As long as you waver in your will, I can effortlessly take back my body. Xiao He said to himself happily, his eyes shining.

Right now, you are already very weak. Don't mention controlling me, you can't even control your own heart. Xiao He rubbed his chin, then sat down on the soft and silky soft ground, slouching his body and crossing his long legs, he said to Xiao Zhihe who was trapped in her mind.

"Xiao He... You beast... Bastard … Madman! "Let me out!"

The red-haired man turned a deaf ear to the angry and screaming woman in his head. He whistled and lightly stepped onto the stairs, starting to flip through the entire Qingling Palace.

In this period of time that Xiao Zhihe had dominated Xiao He's body again, Xiao He did not lose all her memories like before. On the contrary, it was as if she had been placed into a dungeon with an ornamental window. The prison formed in Xiao He's mind allowed him to see everything clearly through Xiao Zhihe's eyes.

Since the Emperor Xun wanted Xiao Zhihe to become a substitute for the Empress Cha, then there must be a special reason, especially since it had not been done for fifteen years, which was impossible for anyone else but Xiao Zhihe.

Xiao He opened each case and looked through all the items in the scroll like the others. He smashed the Night Pearl that was shining and checked if there were any hidden contents within them, pushed down the tribute that he had placed on the wall, knocked on the wall with the help of a secret mechanism and he did not even miss a gap in the bottom of the bed. He carefully looked around one by one, trying to find any traces that could explain Xiao Zhihe's uniqueness from the place that the original owner was currently in Empress Cha's chambers.

Xiao He's original plan before entering the palace was to turn into the most trusted subordinate in the Emperor Xun. He would use his identity as someone else to obtain royal authority to track Chaxianyu's whereabouts, and use his disguised identity to secretly get rid of Chaxianyu. He could both retreat safely and achieve his goal of revenge, but who knew that Xiao Zhihe, who had appeared halfway, would disrupt his original plan?

Xiao He could not help but sigh. Unless it was absolutely necessary, all kinds of people in the world except for the fact that they did not want to become women!

That night, when Emperor Xun ordered Xiao Zhihe to help her bathe, and when she hugged Xiao Zhihe's neck and was about to give him a kiss, Xiao He, who was clearly seen from inside the prison, had his face turn black. Hurry up and avoid it for Yours Truly!

Although his appearance had changed into that of Xiao Zhihe, he could still transmit and experience all of his emotions.

It took Xiao He a long time to accept the fact that he was kissed by a man. At the same time, he also concluded that this dazed woman seemed to have a special feeling towards the Emperor Xun. In these past month, he had watched all of Xiao Zhihe's actions while he stayed in the Qingling Palace, and had also made preparations to take back his body.

"You monster... It wasn't just killing people to eat their hearts, but also increasing their soul power … "Just what are you trying to do, going so close to the emperor, after expending so much effort!"

Although they shared the same body, their thoughts were independent. As long as they didn't talk, they couldn't communicate with each other.

Xiao Zhihe, who had been forcefully locked in place by Xiao He, could only see the man frantically searching for something with his Qingling Palace. She tried her best to convey her words, asking over and over again, but the man always chose to ignore it.

Just as Xiao He was wondering about the progress he had made, suddenly, a copper mirror hanging on the wall behind him cracked with a thud. It fell onto the ground and split into two halves, Xiao He moved closer to take a look and discovered that a piece of yellow colored paper that was folded into a small piece between the frames of the copper mirror.

Hm? What is this thing? Xiao He picked up the piece of paper, unfolded it and looked, it was actually a gorgeous and exquisite character brush.

Xiao He squinted his eyes, feeling that the person on the drawing looked very familiar … He should have seen it somewhere before, but he couldn't recall it in a short while. At this time, Xiao Zhihe clearly saw the painting clearly, and cried out a little in his mind, full of surprise, Ah! This person...

Wasn't this the painting of me?!

Xiao He was startled, then he took the painting to examine it more closely, and his eyes instantly widened.

A painting brush depicted a woman with a brilliant smile on her face. She was holding a white dress in the middle of the flower garden with large clusters of flowers surrounding her back, her black hair was like a waterfall, her red lips were like snow, her appearance was beautiful, and her pair of bright and resolute eyes were especially eye-catching amongst her outstanding facial features.

This was a face that was exactly the same as Xiao Zhihe's.

Not you.

As if all his doubts had been connected in a split-second, Xiao He's black eyes which were staring at the portrait became distant and deep. When he saw a shocking red imprint at the bottom corner of the painting paper, the corner of his mouth involuntarily raised.

He suddenly gripped the thin drawing paper tightly, bowed his head and coldly spoke to the shocked Xiao Zhihe.

This was drawn by Emperor Xun himself, Empress Cha.
