Binding the Dragon for the Empress - Chapter 106
[Chapter 106 I regret it]
Yan Yuan’s eyes were bloodshot, she stared at the person on the rack, and said softly, “Tell me how you treated him, and I will spare your wife and daughter not to die.” How could the
jailer think that violating a prisoner would bring his own annihilation. Disaster, not to mention no success at all. He was dying begging for mercy.
“I don’t dare to be a humble officer anymore… The emperor spares my
life…” “Abandoning my life…”
Yan Yuan took the tongs handed over by the prison officer, and pressed the red-hot triangular head on the prisoner’s chest. , made a ‘Zizi’ sound, in exchange for the heart-breaking screams of the jailer.
The smell of burnt meat fills the air.
“Tell me.”
“How did you treat him?”
Yan Yuan was surprisingly calm.
The tongs were heated three or four times, and the jailer’s chest was almost scalded. He passed out several times, and was woken up by cold water. Xu Shi knew that he was doomed, and he finally said it.
“Biezhi wanted to be happy with him… He refused, so he pulled his nails and kicked him in the abdomen…” It
seemed that an invisible giant palm was pinching his heart, slowly tightening it until it was deformed. The more Yan Yuan listened, the redder the corners of her eyes became, blood dripped from under her sleeve robe and fell on the dusty ground.
“…Your Majesty spare your life.”
“Your Majesty… spare your life…” The half-dead jailer was still begging for mercy.
The prison officer beside him saw the blood dripping from Yan Yuan’s sleeve robe, and hurriedly said: “Your Majesty, you are injured…”
Yan Yuan didn’t feel the pain, he didn’t want to stay in this place any longer, turned around, and said dumbly: “Pulled his fingernails, chopped them up, and fed them to the dog.”
“Yes…”
Yan Yuan stopped when passing by the cell where Xuanlong was once imprisoned. Yes, there is nothing left. The straw and bedding that Xuanlong once slept on were all cleaned up.
People cannot be resurrected from the dead.
The same goes for demons.
Even if Yan Yuan couldn’t accept this fact, she had to accept it.
He stayed for a while and then continued to walk out along the dim corridor. The cold wind penetrated into his bare neck from the pores, causing a shudder.
Yan Yuan remembered the fact that Xuanlong was afraid of the cold again. He always thought that Xuanlong liked water, so he would not be afraid of the cold.
It turned out that there were many things he didn’t know.
It’s not that the dragon refused to tell him, it’s that he never gave him a chance to speak freely.
Xuanlong didn’t say much when he suffered here, and he wouldn’t tell him when he suffered grievances from others, because the person who caused such a situation and made him fall into a doom and gloom was him and Yan Yuan himself.
When she came out of the iron gate of the prison, the warm light from outside made Yan Yuan’s eyes dazzle, and she was about to fall over her feet
. Sunlight walked forward in a daze, unable to figure out how there could be such a strong sun in Shengdong, let alone why his heart was so cold when the sun was clearly so strong.
“Chen Yan…”
“Hey, Your Majesty, the servant is here.” Chen Yan replied hoarsely.
Yan Yuan’s pale lips moved slightly: “I’m the most stingy…”
“I’m the most stingy…”
“…I’m so stingy, I don’t want to give him any good, I don’t want to let him taste the slightest bit of comfort. When I was tired, I left…”
“I won’t come back…”
Since Xuanlong left, Yan Yuan has become more ill. When the stubborn headache attacks, she has to roll over and over on the bed. He would also knock his forehead against a hard object, and the palace servants couldn’t hold it.
After finally calming down, when he fell asleep, he would dream, calling Xuanlong’s name constantly, sometimes giggling, sometimes crying bitterly, begging the other side not to leave.
The wine could no longer restrain Yan Yuan’s head ailment. In just ten days, he lost weight. Chen Yan looked at Yan Yuan at this time and found that there were a few silver threads on his temples.
New Year’s Eve is approaching, Yan Yuan is only 20 years old after the New Year’s Eve.
Chen Yan didn’t understand why his remorse was born, because of guilt? If there is any guilt, then Xuanlong shouldn’t be in such a desolate situation when he was alive.
I don’t know if it’s love, and I’m used to being arrogant and self-willed, and I think the world will always revolve around him.
“I won’t be coming back.”
“Your Majesty, there are some things, some things, that can’t be repented.” Chen Yan looked at the sky in the distance, the cage built by the vermilion high wall blocked the outside world, maybe Xuanlong’s departure, yes It was a good thing for him.
At least he is free.
“But Chen Yan, I regret it…” Yan Yuan was already crying, and Juejun’s face was full of tears. “I regret it…”
Chen Yan sighed: “The deceased is gone, the emperor, look at the people around you.”
“Since the queen woke up, you haven’t seen him, so you can go to him for dinner today. ?”
All this is for Ning Zhiyu.
Regardless of his safety, he sneaked into the thousand-year-old ancient pond, tricked the stupid dragon with a pure heart back to the palace, coaxed him to pull out Lin, and forced him to hand in the inner elixir, all for the sake of Ning Zhiyu and to save the life of his sweetheart.
Now his goal has finally succeeded, Ning Zhiyu has obtained the Dragon Heart, and after that, he can live a hundred years and grow old with him.
Hua Niang was right, what else could he be dissatisfied with?
He should give amnesty to the world, and the whole country should rejoice, and let the people of the entire Daxuan Dynasty experience this joy together, but in fact, the longer Xuanlong leaves, the more empty Yan Yuan’s whole person is. His soul seemed to have left with each other.
He never even thought of Ning Zhiyu in his spare time, because he always had headaches, and the more he thought about Xuanlong, the more pain he felt, until he had to use alcohol to numb himself.
He had that dream repeatedly, dreaming that Xuanlong was lying in his arms, with a smile on his lips, and he was dying.
“Don’t cry… The scars left by the burning of karmic fire will be engraved on the soul, and will be carried in reincarnation. When I fall into reincarnation, you will come to find me…”
“You can see me at a glance. Recognized me…”
Yan Yuan gradually became sure that she must have recognized the wrong person.
Otherwise, how could he and Xuanlong be so loving in the dream, and even the details were clear, otherwise how could the pain of losing his lover be so unforgettable that he would be heartbroken every time he tasted it…
And he never dreamed I have been to Ningzhiyu.
Yan Yuan didn’t want to see him very much, he knew that Ning Zhiyu was innocent, and he personally blocked Xuanlong’s retreat, causing him to fall into the abyss.
But that didn’t prevent him from thinking more clearly how he had humiliated, coaxed, and tortured Xuanlong along the way when he saw Ning Zhiyu.
He was deliberately escaping.
Even for a long time, Yan Yuan did not dare to enter the side hall where Xuanlong lived. There were too many memories there, most of which were bad memories.
Xuanlong gave him everything, but he never gave him even a little warmth. No wonder at the last moment, he lay in his arms and kept shouting cold.
The Hua Niang was released from the palace by Yan Yuan, and the child stayed. The child who had been shouted by him one by one was the only thought that Xuanlong left for him.
It was born by Xuanlong desperately.
Yan Yuan didn’t understand why she had such feelings of rejection and disgust in the past. It was clear that their children were born so lovable, with green eyes and dragon horns like Xuanlong, and their fair little face was soft and cute.
His character really followed Xuanlong in his infancy. He hardly cried. Only when he was extremely hungry did he let out a cry or two. He named it.
He had promised Xuanlong that he should read through the classics and think about the most appropriate one, but whenever he saw the child’s eyes that were similar to Xuanlong’s, he would always cry.
When I cry, I can’t think of anything.
The streets and alleys are covered with notices, which were ordered by the emperor himself. He wanted to find monks all over the country.
Whoever can rescue the soul-flying Xuanlong, whoever can be promoted to the rank, will be rewarded with a million taels of gold, or, as long as there is a capable person, no matter what the request, the emperor will satisfy.
As long as Xuanlong can come back.
Everyone said that Yan Yuan was crazy.
Only Yan Yuan knows that he is not crazy, he is soberly doing what he should do, and if the dragon doesn’t come back, he will be crazy.
On the 20th day after Xuanlong left, he couldn’t bear it any longer and stepped into the side hall of Qiankun Palace. He misses him so much, misses his breath, misses his hugs, misses the way he clumsily follows his orders in an attempt to please him, misses the way he pursed his lips when he was angry, but all that was gone.
Even the air that belonged to Xuanlong was not left in the slightest. The only thing that could comfort Yan Yuan was that the decoration of the side hall was still the same as before, and the mattress that Xuanlong had slept on was still there.
The brocade blue quilt and soft pillows of the same color were neatly spread on the bed. He didn’t like to be too far away from Xuanlong, even if he was on the bed, he had to stick to the dragon to sleep afterwards, and the two always shared the same pillow.
Yan Yuan buried herself in the soft bed, grabbed the quilt that Xuan Long had once covered, and sniffed hard between her nose. It seemed that she could smell a clear and cold fragrance, very faint, so she could not tell whether it was an illusion or a reality.
He sucked the pleasant smell like a poppy addict, but there was only bitterness and pain in his heart, he bit his hand and cried out in tears.
“Apo…”
“Apo…”
After a drowsy night of sleep, Yan Yuan was woken up by a headache. After he came here, he was reluctant to leave and asked someone to bring breakfast. There are few good memories between him and Xuanlong, and they haven’t even had a few meals together. They seem to be arguing all the time.
No, no, to be precise, it was Yan Yuan’s unilateral attack. If Xuanlong didn’t hand in the inner elixir, he would turn his face. That dragon speaks less, and will not quarrel with him. No matter how harsh the words are, he will not utter a word.
The palace people filed in and put the exquisite breakfast on the table. When a soft peach cake appeared in her sight, Yan Yuan was stunned. He used this cake to coax Xuanlong before and coax him to hand in the inner elixir.
Yan Yuan sat at the table, her hands on her legs tightened.
“Suddenly I’m not hungry anymore… let’s all withdraw.”
Chen Yan next to him stepped forward: “Your Majesty, this… how much do you use?”
Yan Yuan refused, Chen Yan waved to the palace servant to bring the morning meal that had just been brought up. Shan withdrew, followed by the palace servants, leaving Yanyuan alone in the house.
When it was quiet, the bone-thirsty thoughts became more and more like a shadow, Yan Yuan got up and walked to the inner room, and stroked the bronze mirror used by Xuanlong with her palm, the dressing table, and the silver hairpin he had given to Xuanlong on it. Long didn’t want it, he insisted on staying.
Xuanlong’s clothes are placed in the wardrobe.
Everything is fine.
Only the owner of these things is gone.
Just as she was about to close the cabinet door, she suddenly discovered that something seemed to be hidden under the stack of black robes. Yan Yuan lifted the robe to reveal a brown wooden box.
When I opened it, I saw more than a dozen wooden figures inside, all of similar sizes, all carved by the same person, wearing a dragon robe and an emperor’s crown. Some are rough, some are very delicate, and they are carefully painted.
