Chapter 35: Encountering a Demon
Chapter 35: Encountering a Demon
As soon as Xiaolong came down from the morning court, he heard that Xiao Xiang had returned to the palace and was waiting in the bedroom.
Xiang'er is finally back!
Ever since Xiaolong sent out the soldiers to report Xiao Xiang's visit to Old General Cui, there was no news.Xiaolong felt strange.Could it be that the dead man was discovered by Xiang'er?After all, Xiang'er used to be a martial artist, maybe he could easily find out that he was being followed.However, where has Xiang'er gone these days? !
Forget it, anyway, he has come back, I will never let him out of the palace again.
Xiaolong couldn't wait to step into the bedroom, and saw his beloved in silver and white robes, standing with hands behind his back, waiting for him.
"Xiang'er!" Xiaolong laughed happily, stepped forward quickly and pulled Xiao Xiang into his arms. "You are finally back!"
Saying that, he leaned over to kiss her.But the person in his arms lowered his head, as if avoiding his enthusiasm.
I just feel Xiao Xiang leaning lightly on Xiaolong's chest, it's obviously an intimate gesture, but it makes people feel alienated inexplicably.
But Xiao Xiang said quietly, "I'm sorry, Xiaolong...I may be a little tired..."
Xiaolong was slightly puzzled, but he was not easy to ask.Then he patted Xiao Xiang's head and told him to rest well.
That night, the two embraced and slept on the spacious dragon bed, but there was no act of love.
Xiaolong held Xiao Xiang in his arms.He felt the nostalgic atmosphere, but slightly felt that Xiao Xiang was different from the past.
The feeling of intimacy makes Xiaolong feel that he is holding Xiao Xiang, but the person in his arms is not thinking about him.
After all, what happened to Xiang'er outside the palace? !
Four days later, Xiao Xiang was conferred the title of Concubine Xiang and moved into Yiyao Palace.
After becoming a concubine, Xiao Xiang took off his guard's military uniform and changed into a feather blue floor-length robe.Wherever he went, the tail of the robe behind him was scattered on the ground.When the sun shines, you can see the rusty gold dark pattern on the robe.Or the breeze blows by, bringing up the fairy-like robe and fluttering with the wind.People passing by in the distance can't help but sigh secretly when they see it, no wonder the emperor dotes on this man so much.
"Young Master Xiao, the emperor has sent something again!"
Xiao Xiang smiled wryly at the obedient maidservant.He opened the box on the table with little expectation, and saw that it was a plum blossom necklace, and he was not happy for some reason.Why...Xiaolong sent something from his daughter's house again?Could it be that I am just like a woman in his eyes? …
That night, Xiaolong came to Xiao Xiang's Yiyao Palace to make love with him as usual.But after the love, Xiao Xiang looked at Xiaolong who was sleeping peacefully, but he couldn't fall asleep in a daze.
I wonder what Shi Nian is doing now?Did he listen to Dr. Ji's orders, take medicine on schedule, and rest more?Alas... why am I thinking of him again? …
Xiao Xiang tiptoed out of bed, casually put on the feather-blue robe, and wandered alone in the small garden outside the bedroom.
He looked up and saw the dark night sky with no bright moon, so he couldn't help sighing softly.
"Why are you sighing?"
Xiao Xiang was taken aback.He looked back nervously, only to see a strange figure sitting on the pavilion with one knee bent.
I saw the man in the pavilion wearing a black robe as cold as the night, and the dark red robe hem was like a blood demon.Long silver-white hair hangs down to her waist, and her moon-white skin feels breathless.The handsome face was as graceful as an ice sculpture, and her thin lips were bloodless.But the most disturbing thing was that pair of ice blue eyes like snow wolves, as if they could devour people's souls at any time.
"What are you... person...?!" No! ...he can't be a "human"!Xiao Xiang realized in astonishment that what was in front of him was... "What are you?!"
The figure on the pavilion grinned, revealing two sharp fangs, "Well, what am I... Where should I start?" The man jumped down, but the ghostly figure instantly The time has come to Xiao Xiang's eyes.
Xiao Xiang backed away in a hurry, but accidentally tripped over the robe and fell to the ground. The robe he was only wearing betrayed Xiao Xiang's attractive chest.
"Well. Where I come from, people call my kind vampires..."
"Are you a ghost?!"
"Well... Strictly speaking, I'm not a ghost. In your Central Plains, I should be called a 'demon', right? Right, right. I'm a vampire."
"Vampire?!" Sitting on the ground, Xiao Xiang couldn't believe it. Why did the monster come to the palace? !Besides, in the current situation... "Could it be... you want to suck my blood?!"
The monster bent down with a bewildering smile, and raised Xiao Xiang's chin with cold fingertips, "Hey. If I just want your blood, I don't have to follow you to the palace, and wait until now to appear in your palace." Right now. I worked so hard to help you get rid of that man who was following you."
"The man following me? Who?"
"The person your monarch sent to monitor you. After you left the palace, he followed you all the time. When you visited that junior brother, I removed that person for you."
"Why are you doing this?!"
"Hey." The evildoer smiled charmingly, his half-closed eyes seemed to be able to see through his mind. "I came from Xiguan and drank the blood of many people along the way. However, no one's blood can be like yours..."
"Like me?" Xiao Xiang frowned and wondered, "What do you mean?..."
The male demon withdrew his outstretched hand, but Xiao Xiang's body seemed to be attracted by an invisible force, and followed that hand to stand up slowly, leaning in front of the evildoer.
Xiao Xiang was still in astonishment, only to feel that evil voice like honey rang in his ears, "It's the blood contaminated by hatred and love, very attractive..."
Blood stained by hatred and love...
Are you talking about my blood?
Hatred... Is it because Shi Nian framed my brother that I hate him so much?
Love...do I have a crush on someone? ...who am I in love with?
Just listening to the evil voice, the maid continued lazily, "Well... that's the taste. I just wait for you to return to the palace and fall in love with your monarch. The love and hate, sin and regret in the blood are even more so. It's tempting and delicious..." As he spoke, the tip of his cat-like tongue licked under Xiao Xiang's ear, which made people feel a chill.
"Well, Xiao Xiang, I'll make a deal with you."
The male demon took a few steps back and let Xiao Xiang stand alone in the dark night.His feather blue thin robe fluttered slightly in the wind, and one sleeve casually hung on his elbow, exposing his white chest.
"What deal?..."
"You let me drink your blood, and I will take you out of the palace."
"...But after you drink my blood, can I still live?"
"Hey. It's not allowed. But, you probably don't want to die, right?" The male demon had a wicked smile on his face, "I can take you out of the palace, and I guarantee that your monarch will never die again." To find you. You can wander about as you please, and be free again."
"...Why are you doing this? Aren't you a monster? If you just want my blood, you don't need to ask for my consent at all... What else do you want?!"
"Indeed, I can attack you like I did to humans before, bite your neck open, let your blood flow out like a fountain, and then satisfy my desire. But in this way, your blood will be mixed with panic What a shame. What I want is pure love and hate. What I want is your willingness to donate your blood to me..."
Xiao Xiang was at a loss when he listened.
As long as the vampire drank his own blood, he could leave the palace and regain his freedom.I don't have to stay in the palace as a male concubine for the rest of my life, I can still... I can go to Shi Nian and be with him forever...
Xiao Xiang hesitated, "Can you ensure that Xiaolong will never look for me, and I won't have to go back to the palace in this life?"
The male demon smiled evilly, "Well. I am a demon, and things of this level are very simple for me."
Xiao Xiang looked at the cold smiling face of the vampire, and there were many lies hidden in those icy blue eyes.But for some reason, when Xiao Xiang thought that he could see Hong Shinian again, he felt that even if he might be cheated into his life, this deal was worth a try.
Xiao Xiang nodded slowly, "Okay. I am willing to donate my blood to you."
The evildoer smiled in satisfaction, as if someone had fallen into his perfect trap, "Okay. I will visit again after noon tomorrow."
