Binding the Dragon for the Empress

The bright yellow dragon pattern auspicious cloud bed curtain was tightly closed, and a hand with distinct bones was hanging outside the tent, pale by the dim yellow candlelight.A blue brocade handkerchief was covered on the wrist, and the imperial doctor put his fingers together, and rested his fingertips on the wrist through the handkerchief, concentrating on the pulse diagnosis.

Yan Yuan did not expect that the supernatural dragon would be as sick as ordinary people. When he came back from the imperial study, he heard from Xiao Dezi that Mr. Han hadn't delivered food all day, and he didn't respond to his calls. He hurried into the side hall and found Xuanlong fell asleep on the bed, his whole body was terribly hot, and he couldn't wake up no matter what.

In desperation, he had no choice but to pass on to the imperial physician.

Seeing that Zong Hua hadn't moved for a long time, Yan Yuan asked with a worried mind: "How?..."

"The pulse of this person... is really strange." Zong Hua frowned.

Yan Yuan: "How strange?"

Zong Hua thought about it and said, "It's not the same as ordinary people."

Yan Yuan frowned slightly: "He is not a human, he is a dragon."

"Dragon?..." Zong Hua was stunned.Before, she was curious about how Yan Yuan obtained the dragon scales, but she never expected that he would bring the mysterious dragon into the palace.

"En." Yan Yuan said anxiously, too lazy to explain to him.

"You can't do it?"

Zong Hua took a few steps back, lowered his eyes and kowtowed: "If you go back to the emperor, your medical skills are limited, you can only treat people, not dragons."

Yan Yuan thought for a moment: "He has such a severe fever, go and prescribe some antipyretic medicine."

"I don't know if it's useful..."

"That's all for now." Zong Hua nodded.

Yan Yuan waved her hand to signal him to go down, Zong Hua lifted the medicine box and said.

"The emperor can use a damp cloth soaked in cold water to wipe his forehead to reduce the heat, and wipe his body with cold water every other hour. It should have some effect."

Yan Yuan immediately ordered the palace servants outside the palace to bring in cold water, then lifted the small bed curtain, sat down on the edge of the bed, and held Xuanlong's cold hand.

Zong Hua looked at Yan Yuan's figure, hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing, turned and left slowly.

Although the Xuanlong's pulse was different from that of the human race, he vaguely felt two pulses, one big and one small, from the pulse.The pressing is fluent, as smooth as pressing a ball... Isn't it the joy pulse?

It should be wrong... That Xuanlong is a man, besides, both pulses are so weak, if placed on a human body, it will kill two people.

Before making a conclusion, how dare he speak falsely, if one is not careful, it is the crime of deceiving the king.

Xiao Dezi quickly brought in a basin of clean water.Yan Yuan didn't want others to touch Xuanlong, so Bing Tui, a palace official, rolled up her sleeves and moistened a white cloth with water, wrung off the excess water and covered Xuanlong's forehead.

The wet cloth pasted on it was turned warm by Xuanlong's scalding body temperature not long after, so Yan Yuan had to dip the veil over and over again, then lifted the quilt and used another piece of veil to wipe the dirt between Xuanlong's legs. cleaned up.

It was left by Huanhao this morning. He learned that Ning Zhiyu had an accident and left Xuanlong behind. At that time, Xuanlong seemed to say that he wanted to ask him for something, but Yan Yuan didn't have time to listen. Yes, you must ask him what is the matter.

The human race’s method of cooling down with cold water seemed useless to Xuanlong. Yan Yuan could only hope for antipyretic medicine. Half an hour later, the palace servants fried the medicine from the Tai Hospital and brought it in.

Xuanlong's lips were pursed, his teeth were tightly shut, he couldn't feed it no matter what, even if he forced it open, he would not swallow it. Yan Yuan guessed that Xuanlong was afraid of suffering, and he didn't show it when he was awake, and he didn't hide it when he fell asleep. up.

There was no other way, Yan Yuan had no choice but to drink the medicine enduringly, covered Xuanlong's lips, opened his jaw with her tongue, and poured the medicine in.

In the past, Xuanlong would occasionally be weak, but he had never slept for a long time like now. For the first time, Yanyuan realized that this dragon was not as powerful as he imagined. sick like that.

And it was a disease that even the best medicine in the palace could not cure.

After the decoction was poured down, Xuanlong suddenly had a reaction. His body curled up with slight cramps, his hands were deeply embedded in his abdomen, as if there was pain in it, a low whimper came from his throat, his teeth were trembling constantly, his forehead Break out in a cold sweat.

Yan Yuan was startled, worried that he would hurt herself, and instinctively pulled Xuanlong's hands away from her abdomen: "Abo..."

"Abo... don't scare me."

Xuanlong was in a coma, completely unconscious, Yan Yuan instinctively felt that he shouldn't be like this, so she lay down in a panic and held his body tightly in her arms with her arms.

"Abo...Abo..."

Apart from calling his name, Yan Yuan didn't know what to do.For the first time, he discovered that the boundary between himself and Xuanlong was so far away, and he knew so little about him, so little that he couldn't even notice that Xuanlong was sick, let alone why he was sick. Although he knew it later, But he was still helpless, not even knowing how to alleviate his pain.

Yan Yuan was very afraid that he would not be able to sleep like this, so she kissed Xuanlong's sweaty forehead in panic, trying to give him strength in this way.

"Abo, Xiao Dezi said that you have been sleeping all day, don't sleep, open your eyes and see if I am okay?"

The man in his arms gradually calmed down, with sparse and long eyelashes hanging down, as delicate as a lifeless doll.

Seeing that he ignored her, Yan Yuan gave in and said, "I know, you must be tired, then you should have a good rest, I will accompany you."

"Then you must wake up tomorrow, okay?..."

"I've never seen you sick, and you suddenly became like this, it really scared me..."

Yan Yuan didn't close her eyes until midnight, and Xuanlong was still sleeping when she opened her eyes the next day. The high fever on her body not only didn't subside, but even intensified, her whole body was like a furnace, and Yan Yuan was awakened by the heat.

If this body temperature appeared on the human race, I'm afraid it would have been burnt stupid. Yan Yuan didn't even bother to take it early, and continued to ask someone to send cold water to cool Xuanlong down.Seeing that Xuanlong had a stomach ache after drinking the antipyretic medicine last night, it was estimated that the medicine would be harmful to Xuanlong, so Yan Yuan dared not give him to drink it.

With such a rough method, I don't know when it will take effect, but there is no way, I can only endure it, other than that, there is no other way.

Xuanlong's illness lasted for ten days, and Qiankun Palace became a mess.There was a backlog of government affairs, and Yan Yuan had to return to the morning court on the third day of his coma. Except for the one or two hours of the morning court every day, he stayed by Xuanlong's bed all day long, never leaving the Qiankun Palace.

The Palace of Luanfeng sent several times to deliver snacks to Yan Yuan, but they were all blocked out of the door with the excuse of being busy with government affairs.Rumors gradually appeared in the palace that the queen had fallen out of favor. It was said that the emperor brought back a man of great power when he went out of the palace in micro-clothes some time ago. He was raised in Qiankun Palace and was fascinated.

As for the promise of being a couple for life, it may be true when the love is strong, but it will not count when the love fades.An ordinary man has three wives and four concubines, let alone the king of a country.

With her sickly body, the queen couldn't even have intercourse, so sooner or later she would lose her heart.

The maid in charge of Luanfeng Palace repeated those rumors to Ning Zhiyu indignantly. After Ning Zhiyu listened, the smile on her lips remained unchanged:

"Is that what they said..."

The palace lady looked at Ning Zhiyu's lifeless face, her eyes were hot and humid: "Yes, I don't know where this rumor started. I just came back from the Qiankun Palace. When I passed by the Leng Palace, I heard the eunuchs and palace ladies there. Gossiping, the slaves couldn't stand listening, so they went in and dealt with them severely."

Ning Zhiyu laughed: "Why are you so depressed... What is true is true, and what is false is false. It won't become true just because you hear more people."

"Didn't I tell you not to bully others?"

"How can the servant bully others!" The maid said aggrievedly.

"It's clear that those dog servants saw the empress's downfall and couldn't wait to step on her back. They said a few bad things about you and they seemed to be happy as if they had won ten thousand taels of gold. If you really have such a day, maybe you will be bullied. Woolen cloth."

"You are so soft-tempered, even if you hear those people criticizing you, you probably won't take action to punish them...The servants can only be tougher, let them know that the empress is not easy to bully, and Luanfeng Hall is not easy to bully of."

"I'll say one thing, you can say ten...cough cough cough... cough cough..." Ning Zhiyu's eyes showed helplessness, she covered her lips and coughed, breathing unsteadily, "I'm really spoiled by you on weekdays... "

"The Queen Mother..."

This cough coughed up a lot of blood, dripping down the back of the snow-white hand on the brocade quilt, the palace maid took out the handkerchief with red eyes, took Ning Zhiyu's hand to wipe off the blood for him.In fact, it has long been familiar, but seeing such a good person suffering from illness every day makes my heart ache.

Ning Zhiyu's eyes fell on the air, and the light in his dark eyes was faint, like the last light of a fire that was about to burn out, he smiled.

"Actually, what they said...is not completely false."

"In the past, A Yuan could not wait to see me every day and pester me. Now I ask people to visit him with some snacks, trying to get a few words of love from him, but he is not willing to give it to me."

"Actually, there are many things, so why should others talk about them?"

"I know best myself..."

The maid grabbed his hand and said hoarsely: "Empress Empress...don't say that, the emperor is just too busy. When he is free, he will come to accompany you."

"The emperor cares about you most."

Ning Zhiyu shook her head with a gentle voice.

"No need to comfort me, I'm not a fool."

"They are right... How can a sick body keep the king's heart?"

"I've got enough. At least he once loved me...Meeting him is the only blessing in my life. Maybe my blessing is poor, and there is only a little bit of blessing. I haven't realized it yet, so it's gone. "

"What can't be forced... can't be forced..."

Tears fell on the beautiful face of the court lady, she had an intuition that if the emperor really stopped loving the queen, then Ning Zhiyu would die.Without enough love, those who are not strong will wither like autumn leaves.

"No, no, this servant will ask the emperor to come and see you tomorrow."

"Don't go." Ning Zhiyu said softly.

"A person should have dignity when he is alive. In that way, even if I am no longer by his side one day... I can still leave a good impression in his heart."

The palace maid burst into tears when she heard the words, Ning Zhiyu had a headache from the noise and didn't bother to drive her away, so she leaned her head against the bed frame and closed her eyes.

After a while, he suddenly heard a strange male voice rang in his mind.

"Do you want to let him only love you forever?..."
