the person who came was the palace maid on ning zhiyu's side, yan yi heard that ning zhiyu had an accident, and when he left, his head did not return, and xuan long had to swallow back the words that came to his mouth.
the hall was silent, xuan long felt out the placenta pill in the dark compartment on the side of the bed and took a pill, and the sharp pain in his abdomen gradually faded, but the pain of being eaten by ants in his body and bones only increased unabated.
that was the taste of being eroded by the power of the soul, from the moment of losing neidan. there are always a few hours of the day that the pain is very severe, probably just like people need to supplement a lot of nutrition when they are hungry, and when the fetus is hungry, they also have to absorb a lot of nutrients.
xuan long's body curled up like a battered pangolin, trembling visibly with the naked eye, and he wrapped his arms around himself to relieve the pain, but the effect was obviously very weak.
a cold sweat came out of his back, and he could barely maintain his composure in front of yan yi, but he couldn't do it at the moment, and his mind was so confused that he didn't have the energy to think about anything else, and he fell into a deep sleep in the dense pain.
when yan yi arrived at the luan feng palace, ning zhiyu was waking up from bed, and the palace people boiled the medicine and sent it to the bedside, and advised him bitterly: "empress niangniang, you will drink the medicine, if you let the emperor know that you do not care about your body so much, how worried you should be..."
ning zhiyu was as thin as a skinny paper man, lying thin in the thick brocade quilt, his scarlet eyes looking up lifelessly, looking like he would lose his breath at any moment.
hearing the words of the palace people, he only blinked woodenly and did not react at all.
the great eunuch saw that the advice was useless, and gave a look to the two small eunuchs next to him, and the little eunuch immediately went to the bedside and joined forces to support ning zhiyu's shoulders and back to set him up, and the old eunuch carried the jade medicine bowl forward and scooped a spoonful of dark soup medicine to ning zhiyu's lips.
"empress dowager, you should take a sip..."
ning zhiyu did not look over his face, raised his hand to block, he had not eaten for several days, the strength could not be controlled, the turquoise jade bowl was thrown to the ground by the loss of his hand, and after a crisp sound, it shattered into pieces, and the soup medicine with dragon scales sprinkled all over the ground.
the grand eunuch 'oops' sounded, patted his thigh and cried, "this medicine is extremely precious, and the medicine in it was brought back by the emperor with painstaking efforts, and if it was spilled, there was no..."
the corners of ning zhiyu's mouth bent, his eyes were dead silent, and he said softly, "if there is none, there is no." "
"we said yes... hold the hand of the son, and grow old with the son..."
"he's dead, what reason do i have to live... i'm going to go with him. "
"on huangquan road... i took him by the hand, and for the rest of my life, i would still be a husband and wife..."
ning zhiyu is not hurried, gentle and quiet, and his treatment of the palace people is also excellent. the palace was desolate, and when the palace people saw that he was determined to die, they raised their sleeves to wipe their tears, and even someone outside the palace did not pay attention to it.
"ayu..."
ning zhiyu was stunned, and looked stiffly at the source of the voice line, yan yi attacked the dragon robe, opened the bead curtain and walked quickly towards him. ning zhiyu moved his mouth and failed to make a sound.
yan yi came in, the palace people consciously retreated, giving way to a road, yan yi sat down by the bed, grabbed ning zhiyu's cold hands, and said anxiously.
"i heard that you haven't taken your medicine properly for a few days, do you want to be scolded?"
宁枝玉目不转睛地盯着面前绝色面容，泪从漆黑的眼中落至面颊："阿鸢......是你吗。"
yan yi tightened his hand, "it's me." "
ning zhiyu smiled, his fingertips trembled and caressed yan yi's face, felt the fresh touch and temperature, and cried lowly: "they said you were dead..."
yan yi took the person into his arms, patted ning zhiyu's back, and said softly, "isn't this coming back?" "
"don't cry, don't cry."
although ning zhiyu was a few years older than yan yi, when the two of them got along, yan zhiyu's steadiness never lost to him, xu was because he felt that ning zhiyu was lonely and bitter, and only he could rely on him, so he was reluctant to let him suffer a little grievance.
yan zhiyu did not tell ning zhiyu when he left the palace that day, and for several days he did not meet with ning zhiyu under the pretext of being busy with the government, ning zhiyu thought that he was really busy and did not come, so he asked the palace maid to make a delicious snack to send to the qiankun palace, wanting to tell him to pay attention to his body, and as a result, the palace maid inadvertently learned from the conversation between chen yan and the guards that the whereabouts of yan yi's body after death were unknown.
ning zhiyu ordered the people to buy off the chief of the guards, and when he learned that yan yi had died of stabbing wounds in order to find his medicine to lure out of the palace, he was immediately disheartened and bent on death.
yan yi comforted ning zhiyu, learned the cause and effect from his mouth, and was afraid, if he did not come back to life, or woke up a few days later, would ning zhiyu really die with him?
"silly ayu." when yan yi reprimanded ning zhiyu, his tone was also soft and soft, completely unlike that of xuan long, saying that he was angry, and his words were extremely ugly.
"at any time, you can't take your own life lightly, and you have spent so much effort to find your medicine, so you repay you?"
ning zhiyu stopped crying, and leaned peacefully in yan yu's arms, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat: "everyone in this world despises my life, only you care about me and hurt me." "
"if you die, i will follow you, even if i go to the underground mansion, as long as you are by my side, i will not even be afraid of cattle, ghosts, snakes, and gods."
"because i know... you will protect me. "
yan yi listened to the stem in his throat, and the strong sense of guilt in his heart surged up again.
ning zhiyu trusted him so much, how could he hurt his heart, this was his lover in his past life and this life... what about xuanlong, what about xuanlong?
the despair of the dream made yan iris not willing to hurt ning zhiyu in the slightest, and his inexplicable obsession with xuan long made him unable to be cruel, and in a dilemma, yan iris was still hesitating.
he temporarily pressed the matter of the concubine in his heart, asked the palace people to send a light meal in, saw that yan yi was safe, ning zhiyu was finally willing to eat, bite after bite, obediently ate the green vegetable porridge that yan yi scooped in the spoon, he chewed things slowly, it seemed particularly elegant.
half a bowl down, ning zhiyu waved his hand to refuse the spoon sent by yan yi, covered his lips and coughed twice, shaking his head.
"no more."
yan yi knew that he had a small appetite, and did not force it, so he handed the bowl to the palace people, and let all the palace people withdraw, leaving only two people in the palace.
"sleepy?"
"looking at you, i'm not sleepy."
although ning zhiyu said this, because his body was too weak, he could not hold on to it for a long time after taking the medicine, and yan yi helped him to lie down, and his fingers stroked ning zhiyu's delicate eyebrows.
ning zhiyu saw his absent-minded appearance and asked with exhaustion, "ah yi, do you have any concerns?" "
yan yi was silent for a while, looked at shangning zhiyu, and plucked up the courage to speak: "ayu... i have something to ask you what you mean. "
"if you are not happy to hear it... that's it. "
ning zhiyu intuitively felt that it was not a very good thing, but still smiled: "what? "
"you say, i'm not going to be upset."
yan yi rarely had such a nervous time: "haven't you always wondered why the medicinal lead you are taking is so precious and difficult to find?" "
"in fact, it is not something that can be found from the cliffs, it is only found in a 10,000-foot deep pool."
"i was afraid of scaring you before i died, and i didn't tell you the truth."
"你的药引，不是草药......而是龙鳞。"
"龙鳞？......"宁枝玉惊诧道。
燕鸢决定将事情和盘托出："嗯。"
"大婚之夜，你忽然病倒，生命垂危，太医们皆束手无策，这时候，宗画告诉朕，景花山下的千年古潭中有条玄龙，龙心入药......可医百病。"
"除了这办法外，朕不知还能如何才能叫你醒来，只能死马当活马医，隔日便带了修士去了古潭，想将玄龙活捉回来。谁知半途遇上刺杀，误打误撞入了潭底。"
"说来也奇......分明是水底，人却能呼吸自如，想来是玄龙施了什么法术。"燕鸢说到这里，像是回忆起什么美好的事似的，脸上不自觉露出几分笑意，很快因为接下来的话消失了，变得有些沮丧。
"我原以为他同江湖传闻般凶残，谁知他外表冷酷，待朕却很温柔。朕便借此机会，假意喜欢他，骗他回宫，让他拔龙鳞给你入药引。"
"朕想趁他熟睡直接挖心，可终是于心不忍，他与朕无冤无仇，只因为他的血肉能救人，便必须死么？朕做不到。"
"所以，只能以爱之名不断哄着他......从他身上获取龙鳞，用龙鳞抑制你的病。"
"后来，他发现了朕根本不爱他，全然是骗他的，便离开了。"
"这回出宫，朕就是为了去寻他要龙鳞，结果再遇刺杀，命丧半途......是他救了朕。"
"so? ning zhiyu knew that what yan yi was going to say next was the point.
"if it weren't for him... he died. "the swallow kite's confidence is insufficient.
"i don't think he should have given so much in vain... since he liked yuan, he was willing to stay by his side, and he thought, give him a name, and make him a concubine. "
ning zhiyu felt that yan yi might be crazy, but it was a demon, and whether it was true or not, what he said alone was enough to make people wonder: "you want to seal a demon as a concubine?" ......"
yan yi hurriedly explained, "although he is a demon, he has a gentle temperament, and there is no difference between him and the human race." "
"rest assured, even if you make him a concubine, the person you love the most is still you."
ning zhiyu frowned slowly, "for thousands of years, the rumored monsters are all evil demons, like to eat human flesh and blood, will he stay by your side, will he have any purpose..."
"no, it won't! what purpose he can have, he is just love, so he is willing to pull out the scales to save you. yan yi didn't like ning zhiyu very much to say xuanlong like that.
ning zhiyu looked at yan yi as if she didn't know him: "ah yi, are you in love with him?" "
"nothing! love has always been you. yan yi blurted out.
"if it weren't for the cure of your illness, the concubine would have gone to such great lengths to leave him behind, firstly to stabilize him, and secondly to treat him with guilt... at best, just a little like at best. "
"yes." ning zhiyu retracted his gaze.
"hmm."
"then you... do you agree? yan yi finally turned to ning zhiyu and took more care of his feelings.
"if you don't agree, then find a reason to prevaricate, anyway, he is a good liar, it will not be good."
