Binding the Dragon for the Empress

The person who came was the maid beside Ning Zhiyu, Yan Yuan heard that Ning Zhiyu had an accident, and she didn't turn her head when she left, Xuanlong had no choice but to swallow the words that came to her lips.

In the silence of the hall, Xuanlong took out the anti-fetal medicine in the dark compartment beside the bed and took a pill. The sharp pain in his abdomen gradually faded away, but the pain in his muscles and bones like being bitten by ants only increased.

That is the taste of being eroded by the power of the soul, starting from the moment of losing the inner alchemy.There are always several hours of severe pain every day. Just like when a person is hungry, he needs a lot of nutrition. When a fetus is hungry, he also needs to absorb a lot of nutrients.

Xuanlong's body curled up like a severely wounded pangolin, trembling visibly with the naked eye, he wrapped his arms around himself, trying to relieve the pain, but the effect was obviously very weak.

Cold sweat broke out on his back, and he could barely maintain his composure in front of Yan Yuan, but now he couldn't do it anymore, his mind was so confused that he didn't have the energy to think about other things, and fell asleep in the dense pain.

When Yanyuan arrived at the Luanfeng Palace, Ning Zhiyu was waking up from the bed. The palace servant boiled the medicine and brought it to the bedside, and persuaded him earnestly: "Empress, you should drink the medicine. If the emperor knows that you are so If you don't take care of your body, how worried should you be..."

Ning Zhiyu was as thin as a skinny paper man, lying thinly under the thick brocade quilt, with her scarlet eyes staring up lifelessly, as if she would die at any moment.

Hearing what the palace man said, he just blinked blankly without any reaction.

Seeing that the persuasion was useless, the elder eunuch winked at the two younger eunuchs next to him. The younger eunuchs immediately went to the bedside and supported Ning Zhiyu's shoulders and back together to lift him up. The old eunuch came forward with a jade medicine bowl , took a spoonful of the pitch-black decoction and brought it to Ning Zhiyu's lips.

"Empress Empress, just take a sip..."

Ning Zhiyu turned his face away and raised his hand to block it. He hadn't eaten for several days, and he couldn't control his strength. The green jade bowl was brushed to the ground by mistake, and it shattered to pieces after a crisp sound. all over the place.

The eunuch said 'Oh', patted his thigh and mourned: "This medicine is extremely precious, the medicine in it was brought back by the emperor after a lot of painstaking efforts, and it will disappear after spilling it..."

The corners of Ning Zhiyu's mouth curled up, her eyes were dead silent, and she said softly: "If you don't have it, then you don't have it."

"We agreed... to hold your hand and grow old with you..."

"He's dead, why should I live...I'm going to accompany him."

"On the way to Huangquan... I will hold his hand, and in the next life, we will be husband and wife..."

Ning Zhiyu's temperament is neither sick nor slow, gentle and quiet, and treats the palace people very well.The hall was desolate, seeing that he was determined to die, the palace people raised their sleeves and wiped their tears, not even paying attention to someone coming in from outside the hall.

"Ayu..."

Ning Zhiyu was stunned, and looked stiffly at the source of the voice, Yan Yuan dressed in a dragon robe, opened the bead curtain and walked towards him quickly.Ning Zhiyu moved her mouth but failed to make a sound.

Yan Yuan came in, the palace people backed away consciously to make way, Yan Yuan sat down beside the bed, grabbed Ning Zhiyu's cold hands, and said anxiously.

"I heard that you haven't eaten or taken medicine properly for a few days, do you want to be scolded by me?"

Ning Zhiyu stared intently at the stunning face in front of her, tears fell from her dark eyes to her cheeks: "A Yuan...is that you?"

Yan Yuan tightened his hand: "It's me."

Ning Zhiyu smiled, touched Yan Yuan's face with trembling fingers, felt the vivid touch and temperature, and cried softly: "They said you died..."

Yan Yuan hugged her into her arms, patted Ning Zhiyu's back lightly, and said softly: "Isn't I back now?"

"Don't cry, don't cry."

Although Ning Zhiyu is a few years older than Yan Yuan, when the two get along, Yan Yuan's stability never loses to him. Perhaps because she feels that Ning Zhiyu is lonely and he is the only one she can rely on, she is reluctant to let him suffer any grievances.

Yan Yuan did not tell Ning Zhiyu when she left the palace that day, and she used the excuse of being busy with government affairs to not meet Ning Zhiyu for several days. He sent the snacks to Qiankun Palace, trying to tell him to pay attention to his body, but the maid inadvertently learned from the conversation between Chen Yan and the guards that Yan Yuan's body was missing after his death.

Ning Zhiyu ordered someone to bribe the head of the guard, and when she learned that Yan Yuan was stabbed to death in order to find his medicine to lure the palace, she was immediately disheartened and wished for death.

Yan Yuan comforted Ning Zhiyu, learned the cause and effect from him, and was terrified. If he didn't come back to life, or if he woke up a few days later, would Ning Zhiyu really die with him?

"Stupid Ayu." When Yan Yuan reprimanded Ning Zhiyu, her tone was soft and soft, not at all like she would get angry when she said she was angry with Xuanlong, and her words were extremely unpleasant.

"No matter at any time, you can't belittle your own life. I have spent so much effort to find your medicine, and you will repay me like this?"

Ning Zhiyu stopped crying, and leaned on Yan Yuan's arms with peace of mind, listening to his steady and strong heartbeat: "Everyone in this world despises my life, only you care about me and love me dearly."

"If you die, I will follow you. Even if I go to the underworld, as long as you are by my side, I will not be afraid of ghosts and monsters."

"Because I know...you will protect me."

After hearing this, Yan Yuan felt a sting in her throat, and the deep sense of guilt welled up in her heart again.

Ning Zhiyu trusts him so much, how can he break his heart, this is his lover in the past and present... What about Xuanlong, what should Xuanlong do?

The desperation of the dream makes Yan Yuan reluctant to hurt Ning Zhiyu, and the inexplicable obsession with Xuanlong makes him unable to be cruel. Faced with a dilemma, Yan Yuan is still hesitating.

He kept the concubine's matter in his heart for the time being, and asked the palace servants to bring in a light meal. Seeing that Yan Yuan was safe, Ning Zhiyu was finally willing to eat, and obediently ate Yan Yuan, scooped it up in a spoon and passed it on. For the vegetable and meat porridge that came over, he chewed slowly, which made him look extraordinarily elegant.

After half a bowl, Ning Zhiyu waved his hand to reject the spoon Yan Yuan sent, covered his lips and coughed twice, shaking his head.

"No more."

Knowing that he has a small appetite, Yan Yuan didn't force her, she handed the bowl to the palace servants and told them all to leave, leaving only two people in the hall.

"are you sleepy?"

"Looking at you, I won't be sleepy anymore."

Even though Ning Zhiyu said so, but because his body was too weak, he couldn't bear it not long after taking the medicine. Yan Yuan helped him to lie down, and stroked Ning Zhiyu's delicate eyebrows with her fingertips.

Seeing his absent-minded appearance, Ning Zhiyu endured exhaustion and asked, "A Yuan, do you have something on your mind?"

Yan Yuan was silent for a while, met Ning Zhiyu's eyes, and mustered up the courage to speak: "Ayu... I have something, I want to ask you what it means."

"If you're not happy after hearing it... just forget it."

Ning Zhiyu felt that it was not a good thing, but she still smiled: "What's the matter?"

"Tell me, I won't be unhappy."

Yan Yuan rarely felt so anxious: "Didn't you always want to know why the medicine you take is so precious and hard to find?"

"Actually, it's not something that can be found from the cliff at all. It can only be found in the deep pool of thousands of feet."

"I was afraid to scare you before, so I didn't tell you the truth."

"Your medicine is not herbs... but dragon scales."

"Dragon scales?..." Ning Zhiyu was surprised.

Yan Yuan decided to tell the whole thing: "Yes."

"On the night of your wedding, you suddenly fell ill and your life was dying. The imperial physicians were helpless. At this time, Zong Hua told me that there is a mysterious dragon in the thousand-year-old pool at the foot of Jinghua Mountain. The dragon's heart is used as medicine... It can cure all diseases."

"In addition to this method, I don't know how else I can wake you up. I can only use a dead horse as a living horse doctor. I took the monks to Gutan the next day and wanted to capture Xuanlong alive. Who knew that he was assassinated halfway and accidentally It hit the bottom of the pool by mistake."

"It's strange to say... It's clearly the bottom of the water, but people can breathe freely. I think it's some magic cast by Xuanlong." When Yan Yuan said this, as if recalling something beautiful, her face unconsciously showed a few words. He smiled, and soon became a little frustrated because the next words disappeared.

"I thought he was as cruel as the rumors in the world, but who knows that he looks cruel, but treats me very gentle. I took this opportunity to pretend to like him, trick him into returning to the palace, and ask him to pull out the dragon scales and use them as medicine for you."

"I want to take advantage of his deep sleep to directly dig out his heart, but in the end I can't bear it. He has no grievances or enmity with me. Does he have to die just because his flesh and blood can save people? I can't do it."

"So, I can only coax him in the name of love... Get dragon scales from him, and use dragon scales to suppress your illness."

"Later, he found out that I didn't love him at all, and that I was lying to him, so he left."

"This time when I left the palace, I went to find him for dragon scales, but was assassinated again and died halfway...he saved me."

"So?..." Ning Zhiyu knew that what Yan Yuan had to say next was the key point.

"If it wasn't for him... I would have died." Yan Yuan said without confidence.

"I don't think he should pay so much for nothing... Since he likes me and is willing to stay by my side, I just thought of giving him a title and making him a concubine."

Ning Zhiyu felt that Yan Yuan might be crazy, that was a monster, and regardless of whether it was true or not, just what he said was enough to make people unbelievable: "You want to make a monster a concubine?..."

Yan Yuan hurriedly explained: "Although he is a demon, he has a gentle temperament, no different from a human race."

"Don't worry, even if I make him my concubine, the person I love the most is still you."

Ning Zhiyu frowned slowly: "For thousands of years, the monsters that have been rumored in the market are all evil and demonic. They like to eat human flesh and blood. Does he have some purpose for staying by your side..."

"No! What purpose does he have? He just loves me, so he is willing to pull the scales to save you." Yan Yuan didn't like Ning Zhiyu's words about Xuanlong.

Ning Zhiyu looked at Yan Yuan, as if she didn't know him: "A Yuan, have you fallen in love with him?"

"I don't! The person I love has always been you." Yan Yuan blurted out.

"If it wasn't for treating your illness, how could I go to such great lengths to keep him? Firstly, the concubine Ce's move was to stabilize him, and secondly, I felt guilty for treating him... At most, at most, only I just like it a little bit."

"Really." Ning Zhiyu looked away.

"Ah."

"Then you... do you agree then?" Yan Yuan was finally more towards Ning Zhiyu, taking his feelings into consideration.

"If you don't agree, I'll find an excuse to cover it up. Anyway, he's easy to cheat, and nothing will happen."
