Binding the Dragon for the Empress - Chapter 89
[Chapter 89 Escape]
Xuanlong knelt on the ground blankly, not moving for a long time.
After the demon dies, the three souls and seven souls will dissipate with the demise of the body, leaving only a strand of living soul wandering in the dead place.
The cool breeze poured in from the gaps in the window lattice, and the hall was silent. When she saw the man kneeling on the ground, she felt unspeakable sadness when she saw his back. He floated over with his thoughts, bent down, and carefully stretched out his hand. He touched the man’s face, trying to wipe the tears from his face, but his fingertips passed through his skin and could not be touched at all.
While wondering why this was, a gentle voice came from behind.
“Ale…”
Qule was stunned for a moment, then turned around: “Brother…” The
person wearing elegant white robes gave birth to a face that was exactly the same as Qule’s. Yang, but not as cold and flamboyant as Querle was in his lifetime, he was enveloped by a gentle aura, and his ice blue eyes were full of smiles. Looking at Qu Leyou, he sighed and said.
“Let’s go, my brother will take you home.”
“Go home…” Querle looked around blankly, knowing that this was not his home. Between the lights and flint, a vague fragment suddenly appeared in his mind. His brother was bullied and killed by the human race because he fell in love with the human race. His eyes suddenly turned red, and he complained in a trembling voice.
“You are so cruel… just leave me alone like this, and let me live in the world alone…”
After a person dies, he becomes a dead soul, and there will be no tears. The same is true for demons. Le can feel extremely sad.
Querqi remembered what happened in his life, and his expression became sad: “Ale… I’m sorry…”
Querle rushed to hug him like a child, wrapped his waist, put a pillow on his shoulder, and said hoarsely, “After that, you won’t leave. I, I will forgive you.”
Querci raised his hand to put his back on his back and smiled, “…Okay.”
When the two brothers left the hall, Querle strangely touched the five silver feathers that were prefixed with the vertical white long hat on Querqi’s head.
“Brother, why are you wearing such a strange hat.”
“And, what is this?” Querle looked at the silver hook chain in his hand.
Querqi raised the silver hook chain in his hand and said with a smile, “It’s a soul hook, and the cap on my head is the cap of impermanence.”
“The cap of impermanence?
” The underworld was a ghost.” The
events of his life were so painful that he no longer had any nostalgia for the mortal world. The King of Hell saw that he was a fox demon, who had never done evil, and had done many good deeds. Outside the realm, avoid reincarnation.
“Oh…” Querle seemed to understand.
When he was about to step out of the inner hall, Qu Le couldn’t help but stop and turned to look at the person in the hall: “Brother…”
“Huh?”
“That person, looks so sad… Is it because I died? ”
Well.”
Querle stopped, and refused to look back for a long time. Although there is no memory of the past, the reluctance in my heart is very real.
Querqi gently pulled on his brother’s sleeve: “It’s getting late, let’s go.” “The world is over
, and the events of the past should be forgotten.”
Qule reluctantly retracted his gaze and disappeared together with Querxi into the hall.
Li Nianhuai seemed to feel something, and looked in the direction of the exit in a daze.
The candles in the hall were exhausted, and the position he was standing was completely in the dark, which was easily overlooked, but Xuanlong could clearly sense Li Nianhuai’s breathing and knew that he had not left.
“You killed him.”
“You’re 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 body was stiff, and he was completely at a loss and puzzled about the scene just now. Shouldn’t this heinous fox demon be heartless? …
he didn’t tame him in such a cruel way.
He was so sincere to a dragon that he was even willing to give his life for this dragon…
How could this be…
Xuanlong raised his head, tears silently pouring out of his ice-green eyes, sliding down his cheeks: “Queer Le told me about the relationship between you, he said…he has never harmed your clan.”
Li Nianhuai clenched his fists beside him, unable to accept that what he did might be a misjudgment: “I was poor back then. The monk saw it with his own eyes.”
Fifteen years ago, that quiet night, a monstrous fire ravaged the quiet village in the valley. .
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 hearts and drinking blood. Through the tiny hole in the rice jar, he watched helplessly as his parents and his three-year-old sister were cut by the fox demon’s sharp claws. The throat died tragically, and he escaped by hiding in the rice vat because of his playfulness.
There are hundreds of people in the whole family, and he is the only survivor.
When the fox demon left, he left a piece of scraped cloth hanging on the thorn wood fence at the door. He tremblingly took off the piece of cloth that was shaky in the wind, put it in his nose and sniffed it fiercely, swearing that there would always be something. One day, the murderer will be found to avenge the clan.
After many years, the murderer’s face has already become blurred. The only thing that is certain is that the fox demon has a stunning and seductive appearance. When he saw the first face of Qu Le in Chang’an City, the two faces were completely blank. Combining them in a discordant way, coupled with the special scent on his body, which is almost the same as the smell on the clothes left by the fox demon, he determined that Querle was the murderer.
“15 years ago, you were still a child. How can you be sure that the murderer of your clan is Querue.”
“Just a thin piece of fabric…”
“…” Li Nianhuai was confused and didn’t speak.
Xuanlong felt that he was also amusing. What did he say to the murderer who killed Qule, would he feel guilty if he knew the truth?
Will not.
For the human race, demons have never been any different from raw birds that can be slaughtered at will. Yan Yuan was like this, and so was this self-proclaimed poor monk.
“You humans all say that demons are evil spirits, and you must try to get rid of them… In fact, most of you are more terrifying than demons. They wear human skin and do all kinds of ghostly things.”
“I was wrong…”
He should have listened to the mistletoe . If Le’s words were far away from the human race, if he had taken Qu Le into seclusion early, he would not have been captured by this monk, and he would have been tortured so much that he would not have died because of himself.
“It was my fault…”
Xuanlong suddenly laughed lowly, every word weeping with blood, his thin shoulders kept shaking, he bent down, his forehead pressed against the icy ground, and let despair and sadness devour him.
Li Nianhuai has been practicing Taoism since childhood, in order to make the fox demon pay his debts with blood one day. Now that his goal has finally been achieved, he has not been as happy as he imagined.
Killing countless evil spirits, I have never seen such a scene.
Could it be that he is really wrong…
Li Nianhuai withdrew his gaze and left the deserted palace quietly, with loneliness and determination in his dark eyes.
He must go to find the truth…
The palace guards outside the palace banged on the gong and shouted, and soon after, Xiao Yuzi knocked on the palace door.
“Young Master Han, the time is coming…”
“…” The people in the hall did not respond.
“Young Master Han?…”
Xiao Yuanzi called out several times, Xuanlong staggered from the ground and stood up, and went over to open the hall door.
The moonlight was shrouded in the man’s body, reflecting his erect pupils without any hesitation. They were green and gold, showing a strange indifference. The first time Xiao Yuzi saw Xuanlong’s eyes so frankly, he gasped in fright and backed away. step.
Xiao Yuanzi reacted and quickly lowered his head: “Young Master Han… Please make atonement for Young Master Han, servant…”
Xuanlong lowered his eyes to cover his pupils and turned his back.
“Nothing.”
“Have you packed all your belongings?” The
little felt clenched his fists nervously and bowed halfway: “Slave… I have nothing to pack, I just went to my residence, the important thing is, It’s all on him.”
Xuanlong didn’t notice anything unusual.
“Yeah.”
“Let’s go then.”
“When I change my clothes… I’ll set off.”
Xuanlong stepped inside, and the little felt raised his head and called to him.
“Young Master Han…”
Xuanlong paused in his footsteps.
Xiao Yuzi looked at the thin back, hesitantly: “Do you really want to go…”
Xuanlong: “Yeah.” I
want to go.
Querle protects him with his life, he can’t live up to his sacrifice, and he can’t let him sacrifice in vain.
He wants to live.
To live with the child.
“…” Xiao Yuzi lowered her head and said no more.
Querue had already prepared a set of eunuch clothes that fit Xuanlong’s body and hid in the cabinet. Xuanlong opened the wardrobe and stroked the azure blue silky fabric with his palms.
He was always so considerate, in addition to this eunuch suit, he also prepared a soft belly belt. The eunuch suit can make him less conspicuous when walking in the palace, and the belly belt can temporarily restrain his stomach and make his body look normal.
Xuanlong took out the belly belt, lifted up his underwear, wrapped the white belly belt around his round belly, and tightened it carefully. The child in the middle began to flip uncomfortably, until Xuanlong’s complexion turned pale, and there was no blood on his lips.
The fingertips touched the stomach through the abdominal belt, touched it soothingly, and said in a low voice.
“Shui Shui… Be nice… Daddy will take you out of here, and soon, you won’t be uncomfortable…” The
child in the belly seemed to understand, and slammed into his palm aggrievedly, shrinking into a ball and motionless. .
Xuanlong smiled awkwardly, touched him twice, wrapped the belly belt tightly, tied it into a not-so-fine knot, and put on the eunuch uniform.
He didn’t know how to tie his hair, so Xiao Yuzi came in and tied his hair. Xuanlong’s hair was long and many, and it took some effort. When Xiao Yuzi put the pure black eunuch hat on him, Xuanlong looked at the bronze mirror. The young and tender face in the middle, lowered his eyes.
“I’m sorry… I hurt you.”
He should have continued to work safely in the palace, because of him, his life in the future may be bumpy.
Xiao Yianzi was stunned for a while: “…Young Master Han, don’t say that.”
Xuanlong whispered, “If I were alive, I wouldn’t let you starve and freeze.”
Xiao Yianzi’s eyes became red, and she shook her hands for a while. Not saying a word.
When he left, Xuanlong only took two things with him. One was the red bag that Querue had given him. It was trampled by Yan Yuan that day. After the dirt on the kit, he sewed it back again, and the sewing was crooked, not as delicate and beautiful as before, but it was something he cherished very much.
Another thing is the iris jade pendant.
He has long stopped expecting Yan Yuan, but Yan Yuan is after all the biological father of the child in his womb. This is an indelible fact. If one day the child asks about his biological father, he can take out this jade pendant , falsely told him that his biological father loved him.
If he died, he could also leave this jade pendant as a relic to the child in his womb. At least some of the time, Yan Yuan really hoped that he would be born safely and did not have to cause him to die.
Compared with the bright lights of the Hall of Preserving Harmony, and the singing and dancing, the entire imperial city was dormant quietly like a sleeping lion. Xuanlong and Xiao Yenzi walked side by side in the palace wall path, heading in the direction of Leng Palace. The oil lamp flickered as he walked, and the light in the hood flickered.
Xuanlong was more than six months pregnant, and his belly was heavy, and he couldn’t walk too fast. He was sweating coldly on his forehead, his abdomen tightened by the girdle became painful, and he was breathing low.
Xiao Yuanzi felt something was wrong, he helped his arm, and whispered, “Young Master Han, are you alright…”
Xuanlong didn’t dare to slow down, and replied in a hoarse voice, “It’s alright.”
“Come on.”
This palace is really It was too big, they walked for an hour, turned a deserted road, and finally reached the alley that Yan Weiheng said.
When he looked up, he saw a group of guards standing there in darkness, and the person who led the dark black dragon robe was not Yan Yuan, but someone else.
