C42 (2/2)
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.
