Binding the Dragon for the Empress

Xuanlong knelt on the ground blankly, not moving for a long time.

After the death of the demon, the three souls and seven souls will dissipate with the death of the body, leaving only a wisp of living soul wandering in the dead place, without the two souls and seven souls, the memory of life will not be complete.

The cool wind poured in through the gaps in the window sills, and the hall was quiet. Seeing the man kneeling on the ground, Que Le felt unspeakable sadness when he saw his back. He floated over with his thoughts, bent down, and stretched out his hand carefully Touching the man's face, trying to wipe away the tears on his face, but the fingertips passed through his skin and couldn't touch it at all.

Just wondering why this was, a gentle voice came from behind.

"Ale..."

Que Le was taken aback, then turned around: "Brother..."

The visitor was dressed in an elegant white robe, and had a face exactly like that of Que Lesheng. The charming fox eyes were raised, and the eyebrows were slightly raised, but he was not as cold and flamboyant as before Que Lesheng. Wrapped in an elegant temperament, the ice blue eyes are full of smiles.Looking at Que Le, he sighed leisurely and said.

"Let's go, brother will take you home."

"Go home..." Que Le looked around blankly, knowing in her heart that this was not his home.In the blink of an eye, a blurry segment suddenly appeared in his mind. Because his brother fell in love with the human race, he was bullied and killed by the human race. His eyes turned red and he complained in a trembling voice.

"You are so cruel... Just leave me alone like this, let me live alone in the world..."

After death, a person becomes a wisp of soul without tears, and so does a monster, but Que Le can feel extremely sad.

Qi Qi recalled the past, with a gloomy expression: "Ale... I'm sorry..."

Que Le rushed over to hug him like she was when she was a child, put her arms around his waist, and leaned on his shoulder, saying hoarsely: "From now on, if you don't leave me, I will forgive you."

Michelle raised her hand to cover his back, and said with a smile, "...OK."

When the two brothers left the hall, Que Le touched the five silver feathers on the front of the vertical white long hat on Que Qi's head strangely.

"Brother, why are you wearing such a strange hat?"

"Also, what is this?" Que Le looked at the silver hook chain in his hand.

Michelle lifted up the chain with a silver hook in his hand, and said with a smile, "This is the hooked chain, and the cap on his head is the cap of impermanence."

"The cap of impermanence?..."

Michelle: "Well, after I died, I didn't go to reincarnation, but did a ghost job in the underworld."

The events before his life were so tragic that he had no attachment to the mortal world. The King of Hades saw that he was a fox demon and had done no evil, but also did many good deeds. He granted him the post of impermanence in the underworld, transcending the six realms and avoiding reincarnation. .

"Oh..." Que Le half understood.

Just as she was about to step out of the inner hall, Que Le couldn't help but stop, and turned to look at the people in the hall: "Brother..."

"Ok?"

"That person looks so sad... Is it because I died?"

"Ah."

Que Le stopped and refused to turn back for a long time.Although I have lost the memory of the past, the reluctance in my heart is very real.

Qi Qi gently grabbed his younger brother's sleeve: "It's getting late, let's go."

"The mortal world is gone, and the things in life should be forgotten."

Quer Le looked away reluctantly, and disappeared into the hall together with Qi Qi.

Li Nianhuai seemed to be aware of it, and looked in the direction of the exit in a daze.

The candles in the hall were burnt out, and the place where he was standing was completely in the dark, so it was easy to be ignored, but Xuanlong could clearly sense Li Nianhuai's breathing, knowing that he hadn't left.

"You killed him."

"You are satisfied."

Xuanlong's voice was low and hoarse, as if he was so weak that he couldn't even make a sound.

Li Nianhuai's whole body was stiff, and he was completely at a loss and puzzled by the scene just now.Shouldn't this heinous fox demon be heartless and ruthless? ...

He didn't domesticate him in such a cruel way.

But he is so sincere to a dragon that he is even willing to sacrifice his life for the dragon...

how could this be...

Xuanlong raised his head, tears welled up from his ice-green eyes, and rolled down his cheeks: "Jue Le told me about the relationship between you, he said...he never harmed your people."

Li Nianhuai clenched his fists hanging by his side, unable to accept that what he did might be a mistake in judgment: "The poor monk saw it with his own eyes."

Fifteen years ago, on that quiet night, a monstrous fire ravaged the quiet village in the valley. Their clansmen have lived in that uncontested place for generations, living a self-sufficient and happy life.

The appearance of that fox demon became a nightmare for the whole family.The fox demon brutally slaughtered the people of the entire village, digging out their hearts and drinking their blood. Through the tiny hole in the rice vat, he watched helplessly as his parents and three-year-old little sister were cut to pieces by the fox demon's sharp claws. Hou Guan died tragically, and he escaped by hiding in a rice vat because of his playfulness.

He was the only survivor of a family of hundreds of people.

When the fox demon left, he left behind a piece of scraped cloth, which was hung on the thorn fence at the door. He tremblingly took off the piece of cloth that was crumbling in the wind, put it in his nose and sniffed fiercely, vowing that there would always be a piece of cloth. One day the murderer will be found to avenge the tribe.

After many years, the murderer's face has long been blurred. The only thing that is certain is that the fox demon had a stunning and alluring appearance. The first time he saw Que Le in Chang'an City, the two faces were completely different. It blended together incongruously, and coupled with the special smell on his body, which was almost the same as the smell on the clothes left by the fox demon, he was sure that Que Le was the murderer.

"15 years ago, you were still a child, how could you be sure that the murderer of your people was Que Le?"

"Just a thin piece of fabric..."

"..." Li Nianhuai was in a state of confusion and did not speak.

Xuanlong felt that he was also funny, and what he said to the murderer who killed Que Le, would he feel guilty if he knew the truth?

Will not.

For the human race, monsters have never been any different from raw birds that can be slaughtered at will.Yan Yuan is like this, and so is this person who claims to be a poor monk.

"You humans all say that demons are evil spirits, and you have to do everything possible to get rid of them... In fact, most of you are more terrifying than demons, wearing human skins, and doing all kinds of ghost things."

"It's my fault……"

He should listen to Que Le's words and stay far away from the human race. If he had taken Que Le to live in seclusion early, he would not have been captured by this monk and tortured, and he would not have died because of himself.

"It's my fault……"

Xuanlong suddenly laughed lowly, weeping blood every word, his thin shoulders trembling uncontrollably, he bent down and pressed his forehead against the cold ground, letting despair and sadness swallow him.

Li Nianhuai has practiced Taoism since he was a child, in order to make the fox demon pay back his debts with blood. Now that his goal has finally been achieved, he has not been as happy as he imagined.

Killed countless evil spirits, never seen such a scene.

Is he really wrong...

Li Nianhuai withdrew his gaze, and left the deserted palace quietly, with loneliness and determination in his dark eyes.

He must find the truth...

The palace guards outside the hall knocked on the gong and yelled, and not long after, the little blanket knocked on the door of the hall.

"Young Master Han, the time has come..."

"..." The people in the hall did not respond.

"Master Han?..."

Xiao Zhanzi called several times, Xuanlong staggered up from the ground, and went to open the palace door.

The moonlight enveloped the man, reflecting his erect pupils without any hesitation, golden and green, bewitching and indifferent, it was the first time that Xiao Zhanzi saw Xuanlong's eyes so straightforwardly, she gasped in fright, and backed away step.

Xiao Zhanzi came to his senses and quickly lowered his head: "Mr. Han... please atone for your sins, slave..."

Xuanlong lowered his eyes to cover his pupils, and turned his back.

"nothing."

"Have you packed all your things?"

Xiao Zhanzi clenched her fists nervously, and bowed her body halfway: "Slave... I have nothing to clean up, I just went to the residence, and all the important things are on me."

Xuanlong didn't notice anything unusual.

"Ah."

"Let's go then."

"Wait for me to change my clothes...then go."

Xuanlong walked in, Xiao Zhanzi raised his head and called him.

"Young Master Han..."

Xuanlong stopped in his footsteps.

Looking at the thin back, Xiao Zhanzi hesitated: "Are you really going to leave..."

Xuanlong: "Yes."

to go.

Que Le guarded him with his life, he couldn't live up to what he had done, and couldn't let him sacrifice in vain.

He wants to live.

To live with the child.

"..." Xiao Zhanzi lowered her head and said nothing.

Que Le had already prepared a set of eunuch uniforms suitable for Xuanlong's figure and hid them in the closet. Xuanlong opened the closet and stroked the blue silky fabric with his palm, as if the warmth from Cue Le's hands still remained on it.

He is always so considerate, besides this eunuch uniform, he also prepared a soft belly belt.The eunuch's uniform can make him less conspicuous when walking in the palace, and the belly belt can temporarily restrain his stomach and make his figure appear normal.

Xuanlong took out the girdle, lifted the obscene clothes on his body, wrapped the white girdle around his round belly, and tightened it carefully. No matter how soft the material is, it is always uncomfortable to be restrained like this. The child in the middle began to toss and turn uneasily, until Xuanlong's complexion turned pale, and there was no trace of blood on his lips.

Fingertips touched the belly through the abdominal belt, touched it soothingly, and said in a low voice.

"Shui Shui...Be good...Daddy will take you out of here, soon you won't be uncomfortable..."

The child in the womb seemed to understand, and bumped into his palm aggrievedly, curled up into a ball and remained still.

Xuanlong smiled jerkyly, touched him twice, tied his belly belt into a not-so-delicate knot, and then put on the eunuch's uniform.

He doesn't know how to tie his hair, so Xiao Zhanzi came in and tied his hair up, Xuanlong's hair was long and thick, it took some effort, when Xiao Zhanzi put the pure black eunuch cap on him, Xuanlong looked at the bronze mirror Looking at the young and tender face in the middle, he lowered his eyes and said.

"I'm sorry... I hurt you."

He should have continued to work in the palace safely, because of him, maybe his life in the future would be bumpy.

Xiao Zhanzi was stunned: "...Mr. Han, don't say that."

Xuanlong said in a low voice: "If I were alive, I wouldn't let you go hungry or cold."

Xiao Zhanzi's eyes turned red, she shook her hands and remained silent for a while.

When leaving, Xuanlong only took two things with him, one was the red brocade pouch that Yu Le had given him, it was trampled to pieces by Yan Yuan that day, he picked up all the scattered anti-birth spices, washed them off After the brocade bag was dirty, it was sewn back again, it was crookedly sewn, not as delicate and beautiful as before, but it was something he cherished very much.

Another thing is that iris jade pendant.

He has long stopped expecting Yan Yuan, but Yan Yuan is the biological father of the child in his womb after all. This is an indelible fact. If the child asks about his biological father one day, he can take out this jade pendant , Pretending to tell him that his biological father loved him.

If he dies, he can also leave this jade pendant as a relic to the child in his womb. At least for some time, Yan Yuan really hoped that he would be born safely, and did not insist on causing him to die.

Compared with the brightly lit Palace of Preserving Harmony, the whole imperial city is dormant like a sleeping lion. Xuanlong and Xiao Zhanzi walked side by side in the path of the palace wall, heading towards the cold palace. The oil lamp flickered as he walked briskly, and the flame in the cover flickered on and off.

Xuanlong was more than six months pregnant, and his stomach was heavy, so he couldn't walk too quickly. He broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, and his abdomen, which was tightened by the abdominal belt, began to ache, and his breathing was low.

Feeling something was wrong, Xiao Zhanzi supported his arm and said in a low voice, "Mr. Han, are you alright..."

Xuanlong didn't dare to slow down, and replied hoarsely: "It's nothing."

"Hurry up."

This imperial palace is really too big, they walked for an hour, turned around a deserted path, and finally arrived at the alley that Yan Fuheng had mentioned.

Looking up, he saw a group of guards standing there densely. The leading man in black dragon robe with a gloomy face was not Yan Yuan, but someone else.
