Binding the Dragon for the Empress

The candlelight in the hall was flickering and dimming, and above the bed, the curtain was hung up, and the dim candlelight reflected the two people who were closely stacked on the bed.Xuanlong sat on Yan Yuan's body, with his arms around his neck, barely supporting his body.The wound on the arm slowly dripped bright red blood with the constant bumps, and it fell on Yan Yuan's tense white back, sinking into the bedding.

Xuanlong frowned slightly, pursed his lips and did not make a sound, even breathing was forbearable and resolute, Yan Yuan clasped his hands tightly on his slightly round waist, pinching out bruises.

His eyes touched his slightly raised belly, and he frowned.

"I don't like your current state. In a few days, I will send someone to Huajing's place to find abortion medicine. Let's drop the child as soon as possible."

Xuanlong was very thin, so the child looked pitifully small, a circle smaller than a normal four-month-old pregnant woman, but it was enough to make Yan Yuan feel an eyesore.

He didn't know that for Xuanlong, it was the only warmth left in this world. Whenever he felt that he couldn't hold on anymore, the baby in his belly moved slightly, and he regained some strength.

In his final life, his only wish is to find a stable environment for his child to grow up in, to accompany him through the final journey, and hope that the child in his womb will not go his own way.That was the only thing he could give him with all his might, even at the cost of his life.

But Yan Yuan felt that this child was a burden.

Yan Yuan will be very happy with the child born from Ning Zhiyu's womb.

The crow-black long hair covered Xuanlong's thin back, and a few bundles fell in front of him. His whole body was tense and his abdomen was aching, his green eyes were drooping, his forehead touched Yan Yuan's chin from time to time, and his voice was unsteady.

"You are not qualified...to decide whether he will stay or not."

Yan Yuan said angrily: "I'm not qualified, who is qualified?"

Once Yan Yuan is upset, Xuanlong will encounter it. He is panting more and more, and it is rare to confront Yan Yuan, saying intermittently.

"If you don't want him...he has nothing to do with you."

"Shut up." Yan Yuan lowered her face, trying her best to keep him from saying what she didn't like to hear.

"Everything about you is about me."

"If you say something like this again in the future, I'll—" The threatening words came to his mouth and were cut off suddenly.

so what?

Xuanlong raised the corners of his lips, "You just...killed me?"

Yan Yuan felt a little flustered in her heart, her eyes flickered a few times, and she said emphatically.

"I just... I just killed that vixen."

Xuanlong really stopped talking.

Yan Yuan successfully told him to shut up, but on the contrary she became even more unhappy, she picked up the man on her body and turned over, pushing him down on the bed.

Xuanlong never looked at him very much at such times, and always closed his eyes and turned his head to one side, silently enduring it, as if being with him was a very bad thing.

Yan Yuan pinched Xuanlong's face and forced him to turn around, her eyes were cold.

"look at me."

"Don't look at me."

Clearly spending the whole day with Ning Zhiyu, but like a jackal who has been hungry for a long time, Xuanlong doesn't know what Yan Yuan is thinking, his sweetheart is next door, and he insists on pestering him to do these meaningless things.

Seeing Xuanlong looking at her absent-mindedly, Yan Yuan frowned.

"Let me tell you, don't think I'm infatuated with you like this."

"It's because of Ayu's poor health that I reluctantly vented on you."

It turned out to be the case.

Xuanlong lowered his eyes and said in a low voice.

"That's really hard for you."

Yan Yuan snorted, "No."

"Wake up." In the middle of the night, Xuanlong was numbly being pushed by someone, he opened his eyes tiredly, and faced Yan Yuan's indifferent face, "You should go."

"It would be bad if Ayu found out you were here."

Xuanlong propped up the bed and sat up. He got off the bed slowly and picked up the clothes on the floor to wear. A layer of cold sweat broke out on his body after such a small movement. He fastened his belt and turned around with a pale face, "Qi Le..."

Yan Yuan's ears were callused when she heard the name, and she was reflexively disgusted, "Don't worry, I will pay you back tomorrow."

"as you wish."

Xuanlong was silent for a moment, "You send someone to send him out of the palace."

"...I don't want to see him anymore."

Yan Yuan pursed her lips: "Impossible, who knows if he will go out to find some reinforcements, you'd better give up the idea of ​​leaving me."

Xuanlong knew that if he didn't hand over the inner alchemy, Yan Yuan probably wouldn't let Quile go, and it was meaningless to say any more right now, so he turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait." Yan Yuan stared at the red brocade pouch on his waist.

"What's that on your body?"

Xuan Long looked down, it was given to him by Que Le, and he often felt uncomfortable in his stomach, and carrying this sachet, which has the effect of calming the nerves and nourishing the fetus, can somewhat relieve the discomfort.

He reached out his hand to cover the kit, and tightened it tightly.

"It's nothing."

"Stop." Yan Yuan rushed over from the bed in a few steps, and tore off the kit from his waist, the red lanyard broke immediately, the movement was so fast that Xuanlong had no time to stop it.

Xuan Long frowned, stretched out his hand: "Give it back to me."

Yan Yuan stared at the handbag, the veins on her forehead twitched violently.He had seen this style of kit at the night market of the Qiqiao Festival, and it was clearly used as a token of love.

"Who sent you?"

Xuanlong didn't know what the other party was angry at all, the attack of soul-eating pain became more and more frequent, his teeth trembled from the pain, he just wanted to go back and have a good rest, he said in a muffled voice.

"It's none of your business, give it back to me."

Yan Yuan threw the kit on the ground violently: "Are you so despicable, aren't you? You accept whatever is given to you by anyone?"

Xuanlong responded in a low voice, bent down to pick up the brocade pouch that fell at Yan Yuan's feet.

"Well, I'm just mean."

Before touching the hand, Yan Yuan raised her foot and stepped on the kit.

"The lowly people are not worthy of this kind of thing."

In the end, Yan Yuan crushed the kit with the sole of her foot, and the anti-abortion spice inside leaked out and spilled all over the ground in a mess.The delicate red satin was covered with jet-black footprints.

Yan Yuan ruined Que Le's good intentions and left. Xuanlong picked up the dilapidated shell of the kit with his fingertips, trying to wipe off the dirt on it, but he couldn't do it.

"A lowly person...doesn't deserve to use this kind of thing..."

He murmured and repeated what Yan Yuan said just now.

It turns out that lowly people are not worthy of using such things.

The night was dark, Yan Yuan had already entered Ning Zhiyu's door when Xuanlong went out, he walked back to Qiankun Palace with strength, and fell outside the door.

When he woke up again, it was still dark, with candles burning in the hall, Xuanlong couldn't tell the time, someone on the side of the bed held his hand, it was warm.

"A Bo...you're awake." When Que Le called his name, he was fine, but became dumb after the second half of the sentence.

Xuanlong heard the sound and looked, his ice green eyes revealed some softness, and his throat could not make a sound because of the high heat.

"Qie Le... you're back."

"En." Que Le replied with a thick nasal voice.

Xuanlong looked down and landed on Que Le's blood-stained prison uniform. His long hair was loose, his white face was dirty, and the marks on his body seemed to be pulled out by a whip.

"They beat you."

Que Le smiled, squeezed his hand tightly and said, "This little injury is nothing, my young master, I can bear it."

Xuanlong turned his head and closed his eyes.

"sorry."

"I shouldn't have brought you here."

Que Le: "You should bring me here."

"If you don't bring me here, I don't even know what kind of miserable life you have lived here. They are too much, and they just let you pass out outside the door like that. If I didn't come back, you still don't know how to stay outside How long will you lie down?"

Xuan Long opened his eyes and looked up: "...he doesn't want to let you go."

Que Le hoarsely said: "I like to be with you, I will be where you are, you have already dumped me once, this time you don't want to dump me again."

"Don't lie to me...I don't allow you to sacrifice anything for me. We all have to live well. As long as we live, there is hope to leave."

Xuan Long looked at Que Le, his seductive eyes glowed red under the candlelight, and there was a tenacious light in them.

"There is a highly respected elder in the fox family who is proficient in astronomy and geography. He will definitely have a way to extend your life and keep you alive."

"Don't you want to grow up with Shui Shui?..."

Xuanlong opened his lips, "I want to..."

Que Le took the opportunity to say: "Then you promise me, never do stupid things, don't compromise with that bastard...even if it's for me."

Xuanlong was silent for a moment, "Okay."

At this moment, there was hope in Xuanlong's heart, and with Que Le by his side steadfastly accompanying him, the suffering in front of him seemed nothing.

However, he never expected that one day, Que Le would leave this world before him.

Since Xiao Dezi was replaced, the new eunuch Xu Shi saw that Yan Yuan left Xuanlong here regardless, relying on the prestige of the old master, he always sent some rotten food intentionally or unintentionally. If you eat it, you will not die, but you will also lose half your life.

It is not possible to steal something from the imperial dining room every day, if not, you can only eat moldy food.

At noon that day, the little eunuch arrogantly threw two steamed buns that had been sitting for a few days on the table in the outer hall and left. Que Le opened the steamed buns and saw that there were worms in them.

He smashed the steamed buns on the ground, his eyes were red with anger: "It's too much, as the emperor, he won't even give him a fresh meal."

Back in the inner hall, I saw Xuanlong leaning on the head of the bed with eyes dozing, his face was bloodless, and his head was sweating profusely. Knowing that he was suffering from the pain of soul-devouring, Que Le went over distressedly and wiped his face with his sleeve. wipe sweat.

"Apo..."

"Does it hurt a lot?"

Xuanlong closed his eyes and shook his head, said weakly.

"I can stand it."

At this time, Que Le could do nothing but quietly accompany him.

After the attack, Xuanlong fell into a weak sleep, and Que Le covered him with a quilt, and went out of the palace gate. When he came back, he had two red carps in his arms.

Qiankun Palace has a small kitchen, and Que Le carefully cleaned the fish. One fish was deboned and cut into fillets, and the other was steamed.

"Abo...it's dinner."

Xuanlong is pregnant now, it is impossible not to eat on time, Que Le wakes him up, and Hulong sits at the table together.

Que Le picked up a piece of sashimi and put it in the Xuanlong bowl, and said with a smile, "I bought the fish from the imperial dining room. I forgot to take the fish sauce. The taste will inevitably be bland. You can just eat it."

Xuan Long shook his head: "This is very good."

"You eat too."

Xuan Long knew that Que Le liked it cooked, so he put a large piece of steamed fish into his bowl without being too quick. The two demons in the hall were eating warmly when the door was suddenly pushed open.

The eunuch called Xiao Chenzi walked in, followed by a tall and solemn court lady and two guards with knives.Xiao Chenzi pointed at Que Le with the whisk in his hand, his triangular eyes were full of darkness, and he said proudly.

"He was the one who stole the empress's beloved red carp."

"The fish scales are still in the small kitchen. It's a solid proof."
