When Xiao Li returned to this supreme position again, he felt mixed emotions.

However, things have changed since then...

A year ago, Xiao Ying rebelled, but he was spared and sent people to escort him out of the capital.

Xiao Li found that his power was not damaged at all, and Xiao Ying even reminded him to transfer power.

All of this made him feel very unusual.

He suddenly remembered what Xiao Ying had said: "I can't help myself..."

He had doubts in his heart, but he couldn't find a clue.

However, it doesn't matter, he will know the truth when he comes back.

When he was preparing to regain the throne, news about Xiao Ying also came to his ears.

Emperor Xiao Ying had a deep affection for Queen Meng Lianyi, and there was no second person in the harem.

In order to make the queen smile, the emperor did everything he could.

The emperor and the queen were deeply in love...

All these rumors seemed to stab a knife in his heart, leaving him with a thousand holes.

Meng Lianyi... Meng Lianyi, what are you worthy of?

How could you receive such wholehearted love from that person?

Xiao Li felt like he was being bitten by thousands of insects in his heart, and he couldn't sleep every night. He madly numbed himself with work day and night until he saw that person again.

His counterattack was particularly smooth, and he didn't even encounter many obstacles. He regained his throne before Xiao Yan found out.

Xiao Li looked at the man's stunned expression, and in a trance, he returned to the same scene when he was deprived of the throne a year ago, except that his role was swapped with his.

******

"Your Majesty, it's late at night, go to bed early."

Xiao Li raised his head from the memorial, pinched his nose with his fingers, slowly stood up, and said: "You all leave."

All the eunuchs and palace maids left the palace.

Xiao Li took an oil lamp and walked to a large vase next to the bookshelf. He gently turned the vase, and then a famous calligraphy and painting on the wall was slowly put away. A small secret door opened, revealing a dark passage inside.

Xiao Li walked in slowly, the secret door slowly closed, and the calligraphy and painting were put down. Everything seemed to be just an illusion, and not even a little sound was made.

The palace servants who were diligently guarding outside the palace did not notice that their majesty was no longer in the palace.

Rather than saying that this is a dark room, it is better to say that this is a torture room.

A man and a woman were tied to two crosses.

The man had a handsome face and neat clothes. Even if he was tied here, he did not look embarrassed at all.

The woman's beautiful face remained the same, but her body was covered with scars, and the scarlet blood was visible through her clothes.

The man looked at the woman's embarrassed and painful appearance, his eyes were full of grief and heartache...even despair.

As soon as Xiao Li appeared here, the man glared at Xiao Li, but he said nothing. Perhaps he also knew that his plea was useless.

Being stared at by the man with such hatred, Xiao Li's eyes flashed with pain, but then he sneered: "What? You still won't tell me where Xiao Ying is?"

When the woman saw Xiao Li, she showed fear in her eyes, and a little hope: "Your Majesty, he is Xiao Ying, please let me go, I really..."

"Shut up!" Xiao Li glanced at her with hatred, "Have I allowed you to speak?"

The man said coldly: "Xiao Li, what tricks are you playing? Winners take it all, if you want to deal with me, just attack me directly, why hurt Lianyi?"

The woman who was tied here and tortured by Xiao Li was Meng Lianyi.

And the man was the former Ninth Prince, the former emperor, and the current deposed emperor 'Xiao Ying'.

Xiao Li put the oil lamp in his hand on the table beside him. He walked to the side of ‘Xiao Ying’ and looked at his face with an obsessed look, but when he saw his eyes, he suddenly woke up.

He is not... He is not Xiao Ying...

Xiao Li turned away his eyes. He wanted to dig out these eyes that were completely different from Xiao Ying. Only in this way could he hypnotize himself that this person was his ninth brother, his Xiao Ying.

Taking a few deep breaths and suppressing his violent emotions, Xiao Li looked at ‘Xiao Ying’ again. He had calmed down.

"Tell me, where is Xiao Ying? I know you are not him. Your eyes and postures are too different." Xiao Li looked at ‘Xiao Ying’ with a cold look like a sword. "I don't know how you, a lonely ghost, occupied the body of my ninth brother. I just want to know, where is my ninth brother? Is he..."

He could hardly say the rest of the words.

His hands covered in wide sleeves couldn't help but tremble slightly.

He was afraid that Xiao Ying, whose body was taken away by a ghost, had already lost his soul.

When Xiao Li said that he was a ghost, ‘Xiao Ying’’s face changed, and he said hatefully: “He is the ghost who occupied my body, and I am the real Xiao Ying!”

Who is the real Ninth Prince? This question is no longer important to Xiao Li.

What he wants is the Ninth Brother who likes to stick to him at a young age, the cold and arrogant Ninth Brother, the Ninth Brother who makes him love and can’t let go... The rest is not important.

He only knows that Xiao Ying from the age of five to a year ago was a person, and that’s enough.

Even if that person is really just a ghost who occupied the body of the original Ninth Prince...

Xiao Li looked at 'Xiao Ying' indifferently, who was making an expression of disgust with that familiar face, and said indifferently: "Since you don't want to talk, then wait. I want to see how long Meng Lianyi can live."

He couldn't bear to hurt his ninth brother's body, so no matter how much Xiao Li hated this 'Xiao Ying', he didn't treat him badly.

But Xiao Li was not without a way to punish this 'Xiao Ying' who always provoked his anger.

Every time 'Xiao Ying' made him angry, he would punish Meng Lianyi's body to make 'Xiao Ying' suffer.

Who made 'Xiao Ying' love Meng Lianyi so deeply?

Whoever fell in love first would lose.

When ‘Xiao Ying’ heard Xiao Li’s words, he thought that he was going to torture Meng Lianyi again, and said angrily: “I am your brother from the same mother, why are you thinking about the monster that occupied my body? Now that I have taken back my body, the monster must be dead! He is dead——”

‘Xiao Ying’, who originally wanted to persuade Xiao Li, instead aroused resentment and anger in his heart.

He is obviously his own brother, why should he treat him like this for a monster that occupies his body?

Xiao Li just sneered, then took the whip placed aside and whipped Meng Lianyi fiercely.

Seeing Meng Lianyi’s painful and twisted expression, seeing ‘Xiao Ying’’s’ painful eyes, he felt that his empty and painful heart was a little relieved.

In the royal family, what is family affection? What is a brother from the same mother?

How important is it as the person in his heart?

Xiao Li had vented enough, and he didn't get the information he wanted from 'Xiao Yan', so he walked out a little disappointed.

In a trance, he remembered the last time he saw Xiao Yan that day, and he said to himself: "I can't help myself..."

Xiao Li walked out of the secret door, looked at the dim sky outside the hall, and slowly closed his eyes.

What should he do if he can't help himself?
