Binding the Dragon for the Empress - Chapter 59

[Chapter 59 Demons]

“Empress Empress, use something. This is a snack from the imperial kitchen. It’s a fresh pattern.” Qingmei brought an enamel painted plate to the bed, which contained pink and tender pastries in the shape of peach.

Ning Zhiyu looked at the green willows Yiyi outside the window, the midsummer was about to pass, and the afternoon was already a little cool.

“…A Yuan hasn’t seen me for 13 days.”

“It’s the first time he’s been so busy since we met.”

“The servants don’t understand the affairs of the government, and the emperor is always inseparable from his body. .” Qingmei whispered comfortingly. “Yesterday when the slaves went to Qiankun Palace to deliver fresh peach juice, the emperor instructed the slaves to take good care of you and tell you to take care of yourself. He will come when he is free.”

Ning Zhiyu: “I want to see him.”

“If he doesn’t come looking for me, I’ll go look for him. It’s fine to make a pot of tea for him.”

“Empress Empress, you are not well, so don’t go out and walk around freely.” Qingmei worried.

Ning Zhiyu shook her head: “I’m fine.”

“Lying for too long, maybe it’s good to go out for a walk.”

Qingmei knew that she couldn’t persuade him, so she didn’t persuade him. She waited on Ning Zhiyu to get out of bed and put him on White robe, put on a cape outside, just went out.

Qingmei asked someone to prepare a phoenix chariot, but Ning Zhiyu didn’t want to sit, so she insisted on walking.

Although Qiankun Palace is not far from Luanfeng Palace, it still takes half an hour to walk so slowly. With such a weak body, Ning Zhiyu was sweating and panting heavily. The setting sun fell on the palace wall, Qingmei followed him with an umbrella, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.

Seeing that you can see the gate of Qiankun Palace after passing the corner, Qingmei said happily: “The Empress will see the emperor in person, the emperor will be happy to see you.”

“Really.” Ning Zhiyu smiled, Obviously in a better mood.

“yes.”

Chen Yan and Xiao Dezi were guarding outside the hall, and when they saw Ning Zhiyu coming, they hurriedly greeted him and saluted him. Ning Zhiyu exchanged a few words with them and explained the purpose of his visit.

When Chen Yan went in to inform Yan Yuan, Yan Yuan was sitting on the edge of the bed wiping the face of the unconscious man on the bed. Xuanlong’s high fever subsided, but he has not woken up yet. After listening to Chen Yan, Yan Yuan turned her head in surprise.

“A-Yu is here?”

“Yes, the Empress is waiting for you outside the palace.”

“He’s in a bad condition, why did he come to find me in person?” Yan Yuan frowned, threw the veil and got up and walked out. “It’s all my fault. I haven’t found time to see him recently, so I left him in the cold.”

Yan Yuan was about to leave the inner hall, when she was about to leave the inner hall, suddenly there were a few small sobbing noises behind her. He froze, turned around abruptly, and saw that the man on the bed moved his hand on the quilt.

Yan Yuan returned to the bed excitedly and called to Xuanlong: “Apo…”

Xuanlong’s dark eyelashes trembled, and after a few breaths, he slowly opened his ice-green eyes. Yan Yuan held his hand: “Apo!”

“You’re awake…you’re finally awake.”

“Are you feeling uncomfortable?”

Xuanlong shook his head. Yan Yuan said with red eyes.

“You scared me to death. You fell asleep for thirteen days.”

“How could you be so sick? I gave you the medicine used by the human race, but it didn’t work at all. If you don’t wake up, I don’t know what to do. How is it?”

Wannian Daoxing dissipated in an instant, and he became no different from ordinary people. With a child in his belly, he would be extremely weak. It is normal to be sick, but it is abnormal to not be sick.

Yan Yuan’s hand was holding him so tightly that it felt a little painful. Xuan Long saw Yan Yuan was so worried, and he didn’t know how to explain it to him.

“Did it take too much spiritual power to save me?” Yan Yuan had seen in the storybook the story of the ghost who gave up half-length Taoism to save people in order to repay her benefactor, so she thought of this.

“No.” Xuanlong said in a hoarse voice. He instinctively didn’t want Yan Yuan to know the truth.

“Why is that?”

Xuanlong was quiet for a moment: “Maybe I’m a little tired, so I’ve been sick for a long time.”

“That’s good…that’s good.” Yan Yuan grabbed the back of Xuanlong’s hand and pressed it against her face , terrified.

“Then I can rest assured.”

Seeing that Yan Yuan had not come out for a long time, Chen Yan came in and urged, standing outside the bead curtain, “Your Majesty… the Empress is still…” She was standing under the sun.

Yan Yuan’s eyes met Xuanlong’s, and she felt a little guilty for some reason. She paused and said, “You should tell him to go back first. I will go to find him later.”

“Your Majesty…” Chen Yan seemed to want to persuade.

“Go.” Yan Yuan interrupted him without turning her head.

Chen Yan had to retreat.

“Apo…I…” Yan Yuan wanted to explain something, but Ning Zhiyu was the queen he was marrying. Xuanlong knew about this, so what was the explanation.

“He came to look for you, aren’t you going?” Xuanlong asked.

Yan Yuan clenched his hand tightly and said truthfully, “You finally woke up, I’m worried about you.”

“I’m fine.” Xuanlong lowered his eyes and wanted to pull his hand back.

He was not used to Yan Yuan’s abnormal appearance. In the past, when Yan Yuan heard that Ning Zhiyu had something to do, she couldn’t wait to leave, but when he woke up, it changed.

Yan Yuan naturally refused to let go of Xuanlong’s hand, and said unhappily.

“Are you pushing me out now?”

“…”

Seeing Chen Yan coming out, Ning Zhiyu took a step forward unconsciously, and Qingmei immediately followed. Chen Yan closed the door of the hall and turned around, apologetically.

“Empress Empress, the emperor was suddenly entangled in other things and couldn’t get away… I’m afraid I won’t be able to see you now.”

“You pay more attention to the phoenix body, the emperor said to see you later, you should go back first.”

“I’m so busy that I don’t even have time to meet…” Qingmei muttered.

Ning Zhiyu didn’t speak for a long time, the slanting sun above his head reflected on his face, elegant and moving, but also pale as paper, he smiled and nodded.

“Well, I see. Eunuch Chen has to work.”

“The Empress is very polite.” Chen Yan, who had a whisk in his arms, bowed down.

Ning Zhiyu turned around, the smile on her lips faded, and when she stepped out of the Qiankun Palace, her thin figure was shaky, and Qingmei nervously supported him: “The Empress…”

Ning Zhiyu seemed gentle, but in fact she was a little indifferent. Known to be stubborn, he gently pulled back his hand, avoided Qingmei’s support, and left under the umbrella.

“I once told him that if one day he fell in love with someone else, he would give me a cup of red crane and drink it with his own hands…”

“It would be good to die in his arms.”

“Look at it now. Come on, even this wish can’t be fulfilled… When he doesn’t like me, he doesn’t even want to look at me.”

He walked inside the scarlet palace walls, for many people, this palace is a prison The cage, for Ning Zhiyu, this is the place of redemption in his life. The palace wall several feet high is a strong barrier to protect him. He is fearless when he is here.

Apart from this, he has nowhere to go.

“Empress Empress, don’t be silly, how could the emperor give you the red top of the crane…” Qingmei chased after her and said.

Ning Zhiyu smiled and said nothing.

After returning to the palace, he was so tired that he fell asleep. When he woke up, it was late at night. Ning Zhiyu sat up from the bed and asked.

“Has he been here?…”

Qingmei shook her head and whispered, “No.”

Ning Zhiyu was not surprised. He was absent-minded on the bed for a long time, and then ordered: “Qingmei, go get someone to prepare some food. If he comes, he will not be happy if he doesn’t have a warm mouth to eat.” The spirit is obviously not good, Qingmei is anxious, but she doesn’t dare to show on her face: “What is the empress’s words, the emperor loves you so much, how can he be willing to be angry with you.”

Ning Zhiyu shook his head and said with a smile: “It’s different now.”

Qingmei didn’t answer, and said with red eyes: “The emperor doesn’t know when he will come, you should put something to pad your stomach first. The medicine can only be taken with meals.”

“No, I think Wait for him.” Ning Zhiyu said softly.

After the palace maid withdrew, he was the only one left in the hall. In the middle of the night, he was like a demon with a huge mouth. The air was filled with endless emptiness and silence, and he might be completely swallowed up at any time.

Yan Yuan broke her promise.

He didn’t come.

Maybe it was because of the ‘later’ he said, it wasn’t tonight. Ning Zhiyu sat on the bed with her legs around her, and kept the same posture all night, as if she was thinking about something, but also like she was thinking about nothing.

Since the voice calling himself ‘Demon Venerable’ stopped talking three days ago, it has not appeared again. After midnight today, the three-day period will come.

“Isn’t the deity right?”

“He doesn’t even want to see you now.”

“What are you waiting for?…”

The voice of a beating outside had just sounded, and the low and magical voice was heard in Ning Zhi. Yu brain appeared.

“…”

Seeing that Ning Zhiyu didn’t respond, the other party said slowly to himself:

“If you don’t act, it will be too late…”

“You are still so young, and you will have great prospects in the future. You are really willing to do this. give up?”

“You said that he would give you the red top of the crane, but ask yourself, are you really willing to die like this? Your happiness only lasted for a few short years.”

“Although Yanyuan and Xuanlong were in the previous life It’s an immortal companion, but in this life… the person who becomes husband and wife with Yan Yuan is you, and the person who meets Yan Yuan first is you, Ning Zhiyu.”

“Xuanlong is the despicable third party, don’t you? Shouldn’t we get rid of him to vent his anger? As long as you get rid of him, Yan Yuan will be yours alone, and he will belong to you in this life.”

People’s fear of the unknown is instinctive, just like Ning Zhiyu did to Xuanlong , When he heard Yan Yuan talking about Xuanlong, he only felt absurd and scared, but he never thought about getting rid of the other party.

From childhood to adulthood, Ning Zhiyu has never killed a chicken, how could he do such a thing.

“No…no…I can’t do it.” Ning Zhiyu shook her head, tightly surrounding her body, and trembled.

Demon Venerable said warmly: “I didn’t let you do it yourself, I just asked you to kill people with a knife.”

“No, it’s not a human, it’s a dragon.”

“He’s a monster now… You killed him for the sake of the people.

” Zun resides in Ning Zhiyu’s body, and can easily obtain all his memories, gain insight into all his thoughts, and gradually break through his psychological defenses.

“He’s a demon…” Ning Zhiyu was indeed led away by his thoughts.

“Yes, he is a demon. He will confuse Yan Yuan’s mind and take away your lover. He is the culprit who took away your lover. If you kill him, everything in the past will not change.”

“The method is very simple, look Have you arrived at the demon in front of you? As long as Yan Yuan melts into his body when he is asleep, he will wake up with no reason to fall in love with the person he sees for the first time, and all the rest are in his eyes. It will no longer matter.”

“At that time…whatever you ask him to do, he will do.”

As the Demon Venerable spoke, a small cluster of flame-like things appeared on Ning Zhiyu’s forehead, floating in front of him.
