Binding the Dragon for the Empress

There was only a single bed in the room, and the two monsters could only squeeze together. Que Le was still angry with Xuanlong, and refused to talk to him. When Xuanlong fell asleep, he walked lightly to the bedside, and settled down. Looking at that heroic and extraordinary face, he touched the bed.

At first she didn't dare to get too close, her heart was beating like it was going to fly out of her chest, Que Le never knew that she would be so innocent, but she was so happy to be under the same roof with another creature, she wanted to get closer, and then get closer.

Xuanlong's body was so warm that he could feel the body temperature half an inch away. Finally, Que Le couldn't help it, and carefully wrapped her arms around his waist, pressing herself against it.

It was as comfortable as sleeping with my brother in my arms.

But it seemed a little different from that feeling, and he didn't quite understand the specific difference.

Xuanlong was wounded and slept soundly, unaware that the little fox secretly used him as a tool to keep warm. Que Le was taller than Xuanlong, with slender arms enough to hold him in his arms.

Que Le nodded Xuanlong's tall nose, frowned and said: "You stupid dragon, if you don't listen to my master, don't cry to me then."

"..."

Since there was no response.

The next day, before dawn, Que Le got up and went to the mountain to hunt a pair of pheasants and hares. Xuanlong was pregnant and had not recovered from his serious injury, so he must be eating well.

The chicken was stewed into soup, and the rabbit was roasted until it was charred on the outside and tender on the inside. Xuanlong smelled the aroma when he woke up. There is a red-hot stove next to it, and the soup is stewing in the earthen pot on the stove, which is gurgling and steaming.

Que Le wore a splendid blue robe, sat on the ground without raising her head: "Are you awake?"

"En." Xuanlong replied.

"Go in and sit for a while, and dinner will be served right away."

Xuan Long stood still, waiting for Que Le to finish the breakfast, followed him and went in with him.

Cuile poured the chicken soup from the crock into a large white bowl, and cut the roasted rabbit into pieces with a knife and put them on a plate.He has been in the world for longer than Xuanlong, so he naturally knows more about the world than Xuanlong.

These bowls and plates were picked up from the waste disposal area of ​​the restaurant when my brother was there. They were all broken bowls with gaps, which did not affect their use, but they were not very beautiful. For them, it was good to be able to hold things. Yes, my brother was gone later, and I was reluctant to throw them away. Every piece was filled with memories.

Que Le scooped a large chicken drumstick into a small bowl with a soup ladle, added another ladle of soup, and pushed it in front of Xuan Long: "Let's eat."

He has no expression on his face, but Xuanlong can sense his kindness, in this respect, Que Le and Yan Yuan are somewhat similar, there is an awkwardness in their bodies, and they both tend to sulk.

"It's a pity for you." Xuanlong responded and reached out to take it.

Que Le let out a snort, lowered her head to drink the soup, and the nine snow-white tails behind her showed their original shape, hanging on the ground and wagging leisurely.

He was spoiled by his elder brother since he was a child. He has a somewhat temper and likes to be coaxed. He doesn't look down on other creatures. Only coaxing him can be effective. But this stupid dragon can't Coaxing people, Que Le wanted to talk to him, but couldn't hold back, so the meal ended quietly, almost giving him internal injuries.

When Que Le got up to clear the table, Xuan Long spoke, and he whispered, "I'm going back."

"Where are you going?" Que Le looked up at him.

Xuanlong: "Chang'an."

Que Le's face turned cold: "You want to go back to that human race?"

Xuan Long pursed his lips, but did not answer his words: "You don't want to kill any more."

"It's not worth getting your hands dirty for those people."

Ke Le was still holding a light blue rag in her hand, her chest heaved violently a few times, her beautiful face leaked anger, she suddenly threw the rag on the table, and said with a sneer, "None of your business, you are my young master." Who, do you need me to take care of me?"

"..."

"I'm not qualified to control you." Xuanlong was silent for a long time.

It's just that Que Le's life experience is pitiful, and since they have met each other, and he takes care of himself like this, he is somewhat worried.

Before I saw him, I thought it was some illicit evil spirit, and that's why I killed him like that. After I got to know him, I realized that there was a cause and effect.

Let him do it again, naturally he can't bear it.

Only to persuade him to be kind.

For Yanyuan, but also for Quere.

"Then what are you talking about? Does it matter to you whether I kill or not, and whether I cultivate the way of goodness? To put it bluntly, it is for your beloved human race, so that you can complete the task, and then go back and continue to have a peaceful relationship with him." Get on with it, don't you?"

Xuanlong frowned slightly: "No..."

"Obviously! You and I just met by chance, if it wasn't for that, why would you worry so much about me?!" Que Le was so angry that the corners of his eyes turned red, he turned his back to Xuan Long, not wanting him to see through his emotions.

Xuan Long looked at his back and said in a low voice: "Qi Le, I don't want you to fall into the devil's way."

Que Le was stunned, his eyes suddenly became hot, he understood why the feeling of sleeping with Xuanlong in his arms was different from that of his elder brother, because with his elder brother it was a family relationship, but with Xuanlong...he seemed to have fallen in love with this stupid dragon.

Que Le sniffed, suppressed her enthusiasm, and said angrily: "Hmph, don't say that there is nothing, if you have the ability, go back and tell that human race that you failed to complete the task, and see if he will give You look good."

"If you are useless to him, will he abandon you like a shoe, or continue to treat you as a treasure."

Xuanlong's throat tightened, and he said in a low voice: "...he won't."

Que Le turned to look at him expressionlessly: "Maybe you'll know if you try it?"

In the afternoon of that day, Xuanlong embarked on his journey back to Chang'an.

There was heavy rain in the sky, and it was as gloomy as evening, Xuanlong was thinking about what Que Le said, and flew extremely fast in the air, the destination was the imperial city.

Xuanlong didn't dare to think about that answer. He wanted to verify with Yan Yuan himself whether he would abandon him if he had no use value.

can you.

Probably not, after all he was so kind to him, would hug him and tell him that he liked him over and over again, would give him medicine, and would prepare fresh fish cakes for him before leaving.

No one has ever treated him like that.

If those good intentions are all fake... Xuanlong subconsciously didn't want to continue thinking about it.

It took three days to go there, but only one and a half days for the return journey. He had consumed too much spiritual power, and there was very little left, which had to be kept for the child in his belly. Xuanlong didn't dare to waste any more. Not willing to do so, he was drenched by the torrential rain that lasted for several days. When he arrived at the imperial city, the rain stopped and there was a beautiful rainbow in the sky.

When Xuanlong disappeared and passed by the clothing bureau, he suddenly heard a few maids who were washing clothes mention Yan Yuan, and he couldn't help but fell to the ground, listening silently.

The two little maids didn't feel anything, they only felt a gust of wind on their cheeks.

"Hey, haven't you heard that recently, there was a Fanbang kingdom that paid more than ten beauties to the emperor. The king of Fanbang knew that the emperor liked men, so he chose men whose bones were more beautiful than women's. I heard... ...much prettier than the empress." The blue-clothed oval-faced little maid on the left approached and the blue-clothed round-faced little maid on the right whispered.

"What's the use of that? The emperor and the queen's wife are deeply in love, and they agreed to be a couple for a lifetime. How can the emperor look at other people? In the eyes of the emperor, the other people are... all in vain." The maid stuttered to use the new words she had learned recently, her eyes full of envy.
