Binding the Dragon for the Empress - Chapter 63

[Chapter 63: It’s False]

Apart from the welts, burns, pinch marks, and hickeys, Querle’s heart was carved with the word ‘锔’ with a knife. The handwriting was rampant and sharp. The knife marks were about a finger wide, and the blade had to be repeatedly scratched on the skin. , to achieve this effect.

The wound has scabbed over, but it is enough to imagine the pain he endured when he went through this.

The most unpleasant thing is that the part of Querle was cut off, and the fracture seemed to have been scalded by tongs.

Xuanlong used all the wound medicine given to him by the medical sage on Querle, and after dressing his wound, he put on clean clothes.

Querle slept very restlessly. She kept mumbling and talking nonsense in her sleep. Perhaps it was because her tongue was missing a small section, so she couldn’t hear the content.

Xuanlong was worried and left him alone in the hall, quietly guarding him beside the bed.

Querle slept for a whole day, and when he woke up, it was already dark, and his sanity recovered, but he was no longer arrogant and indomitable. The quilt asked Xuanlong in a low voice.

“Apo…Where is this?”

“The Imperial Palace.” Xuanlong was like a stinger in his throat.

Qu Le propped up her body, gently rested her head on Xuanlong’s legs, grasped his clothes tightly with both hands, tears silently gushing out of the corners of her eyes, and said softly, “You don’t even want me…”

Xuanlong felt in his heart . Tight, he knew that Querle was talking about the fact that he left without telling him that day.

At that time, he intuitioned that Yan Yuan was in danger and the situation was urgent, so he left before he could tell Qu Le. Later, he took Yan Yuan back to the Dragon Clan for medical treatment. He also didn’t want Querle to know that he was about to die, so he thought, it’s better to leave.

Qu Le is talented and intelligent, and is extremely talented in Taoism. If he follows the right path, he may be able to ascend to immortality within 10,000 years.

He didn’t expect that the cheerful little fox would look like this when he saw each other again in just two months.

Xuanlong felt so uncomfortable in his heart that it was hard to say anything when he was stuck in his throat, and it seemed like an excuse to say anything.

“No.”

“I thought…you can live well by yourself, you don’t need me…”

Querle knew that in Xuanlong’s heart, he couldn’t compare to that human race, so he didn’t make trouble, just lay on Xuanlong’s side On his knees, weeping softly.

Xuanlong used to not be able to comfort people, so he put his palms on his trembling back helplessly: “Querle… I’m sorry.” “It ‘s

my fault.”

Pain is vented. After crying, he changed back to his quiet appearance, hugged Xuanlong’s waist, and said softly.

“You didn’t feel sorry for me… We just met by chance.”

“…I want to rely on you.”

Xuanlong touched his head, but did not speak.

Querue raised her head to look at him, her bloodshot eyes filled with caution: “Apo… Can I still like you in the future?…”

“…What?” Xuanlong was slightly stunned.

There was a thick nasal voice in Qu Le’s voice: “I like you.”

“I never regarded you as a brother…because I like you the same way that the human race treats you.”

Xuanlong was completely stunned, unexpectedly When the other party will have such thoughts on him: “Querle…” Regardless of

whether he can respond or not, even if he can, his lifespan is only less than three years, and there is an unborn child in his belly, no matter how he looks at it. is inappropriate.

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t like me, it doesn’t matter if you treat me as a younger brother.” As if he was afraid that he would say refusal, Qu Le spoke first, with a smile on his pale face.

“I know…I am no longer qualified to like you now.”

“I can’t even protect you…”

Xuan Long raised his hand, wiped away the tears on Qu Le’s face with his thumb, and said warmly.

“You have treated me very well.”

“I have always regarded you as a younger brother.”

As a relative.

Querle propped up his body unnecessarily, put his hand on the slightly bulging abdomen under Xuanlong’s robe, and forced a smile: “The little things are already so big, have you named them?”

“No.” Xuanlong knew him When changing the subject, he tacitly stopped mentioning it.

Qu Le raised his eyes: “Did you tell that person?”

Xuan Long shook his head and said softly, “Never.”

Qu Le likes Xuan Long, and naturally loves the child in Xuan Long’s womb, even if this child is not with him. Any relationship:

“Then I’ll give the baby a nickname, the name is up to you, okay?”

Seeing him so happy, Xuanlong nodded: “Okay.”

Qu Le was in a very bad state. He was hurt too badly, and every word he said was consuming what little vitality he had left.

He rested on Xuanlong’s lap, with tears in his eyes and a sporadic smile on his lips.

“That’s called… Shui Shui, okay?…”

“Because we met on a rainy day… I was very happy when I saw you that day.”

“I thought… how could there be a dragon following? Behind me, are you fascinated by me…”

Xuanlong’s voice became hoarse when he spoke again.

“Okay.”

“It’s called Shui Shui. Listen to you.” Hu

Le hugged Xuanlong, closed her eyes with satisfaction, tears slid out of the corners of her eyes, and whispered.

“If he can treat you well, I will be relieved.”

“But he clearly treats you badly…why do you have to be with him.”

“…that day? Didn’t you say everything… You want to leave the Millennium Ancient Pond with me, stay far away from him, so that he won’t bully you any more.”

“Why did I only work for a moment, and you regretted it…”

Xuanlong was unable to tell him the real reason. : “…I’m sorry.”

Now that Qu Le has lost his way, he can’t notice that his inner elixir is gone. Xuanlong was also able to sense Qu Le’s condition because he took Lingxuan Pill.

“Then, are you really with him in the future?” Qu Le held her last strength, opened her dim blue eyes, and looked at the man shrouded in candlelight.

“Yeah.”

The rain outside the window has not stopped, and the raindrops are rolling down from the eaves, and Xuanlong’s expression cannot be seen clearly in the dim yellow light in the hall. He has always been so taciturn.

Qu Le: “…He has a queen.”

Xuanlong pursed his lips: “I know.”

“In the demon clan, three wives and four concubines are not allowed… We fall in love with one soul, and it is a lifetime.” The voice was getting softer and softer. He knew that Xuanlong had a simple temperament and was easy to be deceived.

After a long time, the hall returned to silence, Qu Le fell asleep, Xuanlong looked at his pale face and said softly.

“Dragon clan is also true.”

But now he couldn’t help it, and he had to stay beside the man.

Sitting quietly beside the bed for a moment, Xuanlong got up and left Qiankun Palace silently.

Before the efficacy of Lingxuan Pill had receded, he had to complete the task that Yan Yuan had given him.

It was originally planned to ambush outside the city, but since I missed it, the best way is to wait outside the Hall of Preserving Harmony.

Xuanlong was not familiar with the routes in the palace, so he searched for Yan Yuan’s breath and found the Hall of Preserving Harmony.

At this moment, the gate of the palace was wide open, and Yan Yuan sat on the dragon chair, chatting and laughing with the courtiers below.

Yan Yuan was dressed in a black dragon robe, with a flowing pearl emperor’s crown on her head, which made her face as unreachable as a god of the sky.

Ning Zhiyu was sitting beside Yan Yuan. Ning Zhiyu wore a phoenix robe, and the gorgeous red color on him did not look tacky at all, but had a bit of stunning beauty, which was quite different from the elegant appearance of his usual white robe.

The two of them sitting in the same place were a perfect match.

Xuanlong retracted his gaze, subconsciously stopped looking at them, quietly walked into the hall, and went to find Yan Huanheng’s figure.

Yesterday, Yan Yuan showed him the portrait of Yan Weiheng. If he saw him in the daytime, he would have easily recognized it. At this time, it was already dark, and although there were night pearls in the hall and the lights were bright, he could wait outside the hall door. He couldn’t see clearly, he had to confirm the identity of the other party in advance.

The Hall of Preserving Harmony is a special place in the palace to hold banquets. It can accommodate thousands of people. At this time, the two rows of long table banquets are arranged from the beginning to the end. At least a few hundred people are seated. It is necessary to recognize an unfamiliar person at once. It’s not that easy.

Xuanlong walked from the door to the bottom of the dragon chair, looked left and right, but failed to find the target.

Instead, she was attracted by Yan Yuan’s warm words to Ning Zhiyu.

Although the emperors and empresses have always sat in one place, the tables are separated from left to right, and there is a certain distance between them. Yan Yuan and Ning Zhiyu were sitting at the same table, as if they were reluctant to part for a moment.

Yan Yuan put the crystal shrimp into the Ningzhi jade bowl with a soft expression.

“Are you tired?”

“If you are tired, go back to rest first, and I will go to find you later.”

Ning Zhiyu’s face was not very good-looking, but he was in good spirits. He smiled at the corner of his mouth, almost touching Yan Yuan’s head. Together: “Today is your birthday, and as the queen, I have to step down halfway through an unreasonable number.”

“What does it matter?” Yan Yuan’s eyes were full of distress, and she shook Ning Zhiyu’s hand on the table in the crowd.

“You’ve been very ill these days, and you still insist on attending our birthday banquet. It’s really hard for you.”

“It’s not hard, I want to be with you.” Ning Zhiyu said softly.

Xuanlong looked away at a loss, and clenched the hand hanging by his side slightly, and suddenly the thought of wanting to leave this place came into his heart. He thought he could really not care about anything, but in fact, how could he ever be so broad-minded.

The two were tired and crooked when a eunuch suddenly came in outside the hall to report that King Zhennan had arrived.

Immediately afterwards, a tall and straight man came in from outside the hall. He was wearing a black robe. He was clearly a general galloping on the battlefield, but his complexion was surprisingly fair, his eyebrows reached his temples, and he was unsmiling. Climbing out, there is an indescribable coldness.

Looking closely, his eyebrows and eyes were vaguely similar to Yan Yuan.

This is Yan Weiheng.

No wonder Xuanlong couldn’t find him just now, so he hasn’t arrived yet.

After the salute, Yan Weiheng sat down, and the first seat on the left banquet table under the dragon chair was empty, which was Yan Weiheng’s position.

Xuanlong took his appearance in his heart and walked out of the palace gate.

The torrential rain in the sky fell like a basin, and it was getting bigger and bigger, but it did not affect the people in the hall to have fun. Xuanlong leaned against the door with his sword in his arms, staring at the dark sky in a daze.

He couldn’t help but think of the days when he and Yan Yuan first met in Gutan. At that time, Yan Yuan treated him the best, saying that he would be with him for the rest of his life…

Always fake.

Xuanlong clenched the sword in his arms tightly and closed his eyes.
