Chapter 49: I wish I had no regrets
Dunbei's medicine had a miraculous effect, but in two days, Zhong Yan was able to walk.
Nianqing's spring cold disease has also gradually recovered, and Mama Suli has recently personally sent a decoction to Nianqing, taking care of this future demon queen, but she is worried today, and always asks the maid in the dormitory, Ah Yan is very good.
It wasn't until Zhong Yan felt strange and ordered to invite Mama Su Li that she hesitated for a long time before deciding that she should tell the truth.
"Mama, please be seated. Zhong Yan's body was completely relaxed, but his heart still hurt a little.
"Ah Yan. "Mama Su Li has always regarded Zhong Yan as her own child, and she has taken care of the affairs of the main palace of Ibaryama for him.
She has lived in Cishan for thousands of years, because she inherited the fairy vein of the deer demon clan, so she is also good at understanding marriage, and she is the elder here, but her demon law is not strong, but she is very good and admired.
"Mama has something to say. Zhong Yan added tea to her.
"Although Nianqing is compatible with you, it is a good omen, and there is a posture of longevity, but ......" She drank some tea, and her fingertips were dyed with Kodan, broke open a southern orange, handed it to Zhong Yan, and said, "Do you have the honor of Nianqing?"
He was puzzled, shook his head, and ate the sweet, at the end of last year, the demon slaves went to the South China Sea to buy the southern oranges, fortunately this batch is of excellent quality, the quantity is considerable, and it can be eaten for many days.
"So...... I could tell that she was pregnant before she even came to Ibarayama. ”
Zhong Yan almost choked, "How can it be so ......?"
Mama couldn't help but worry that Nianqing would not be able to hide it, so she used demon magic to drain the child in private, "Nianqing is not very good at panicking, but she actually said that she was bloated and uncomfortable." ”
"Ah Yan, the demon gives birth to an heir, not like the October pregnancy in the world, just devour the demon power on the mother's body, you can grow up in a few days, this Nian Qing has already shown signs of pregnancy, I am afraid that it will be born in less than three days. ”
"At this moment, you need to make a decision, whether to let her stay in the main palace to give birth to a child, or let the demon servant send her away immediately. ”
Zhong Yan put the oranges together and put them on a jade plate, "Mama, if you give these oranges to her to eat, you will say that the deity is grateful to her for giving birth to the first noble son for Cishan, and the ceremony will be held as scheduled." ”
"Ah Yan...... This...... Even if you leave the child in the main palace, it is not your bloodline after all......"
"Mama, as a demon clan, our bloodline doesn't matter. ”
Mama Su Li sighed, "We have worked hard to build the main palace and practice the rules, isn't it just that we can make the demon clan live justifiably, and it is no longer as ethereal as rootless water." ”
"Mama, I remember telling you that I don't love Nianqing, so I don't care if I leave her child as a noble son and make her a demon queen......"
"Love is rare, since you think so, I will go to her to congratulate her, and spread the good news to the demons in Cishan. ”
She held the plate full of tangerine, but she couldn't help but ask, "Have you thought clearly? ”
After hearing this, he hesitated a little, "If she is sent away, where can she go if she is alone with the child." ”
"Of course, to find the father of the child......"
Then she was helpless, "If the child's father is a good person, Nianqing will not have a child and be your demon queen." ”
There was a commotion outside the hall, and the rich and wealthy came anxiously and fell to the ground.
Mama hurriedly pulled them up, "If you have something to say, speak slowly, don't be in a hurry." ”
"Drums, drums, the drums of the lonely mountain somehow sounded......"
Before Fugui finished speaking, the drum beat sounded rapidly, becoming clearer and clearer, hitting people's hearts, and the ground shook as if the sky was about to collapse.
"Fugui, you go to the main palace. Mama, you and hurry to save Nianqing!"
He was deliberately calm, but his heart was full of fear, the wound on his heart had not yet healed, and the demon magic was weak, but he still arrived at Ember's room in an instant, and saw her lying on the ground, like a turtle, he didn't know whether to laugh at her stupidity or incorrigibly cute.
Seeing Zhong Yan coming, Ember hugged him tightly, unspeakably afraid.
He carried her and fled outside the main palace, the drums became more and more harsh, as if to break their bodies, he carried her in his arms, and collapsed to the ground.
The demon slaves in the main palace, there are about 100 demon servants, all of whom have good demon methods, but they still can't stand the breathtaking drumbeat, and they die in an instant.
Zhong Yan's forehead muscles and veins were bulging, his eyes were slightly red, and he didn't dare to think about what would happen to the demon group living in this Cishan at this moment.
Is what the blue-robed immortal said about to be fulfilled, not only his life, but also the lives of all living beings in Ibaryama......
He looked at the embers in his arms who were struggling to endure the violent drumming, do you really want her to go to the lonely mountain to shed blood by the drum, no, no, never! Let me fail the sentient beings of Cishan, God's retribution, I will repay it in a few lifetimes without regrets!
A baby's cry sounded, and the drums suddenly dissipated.
Ember asked him with a dazed head, "Whose child is crying?"
Zhong Yan helped her up, looked around, and looked in the direction of the cry, "Nianqing's child." ”
"You ......"
"It's her and someone else's child, not mine. Zhong Yan explained earnestly.
"Someone else?"
"I didn't know that she had a body before she came to Ibarayama. ”
Ember couldn't help but think of the name on the silk tree, could it be Qingden......
"Ember, I'm going to Lonely Mountain at this moment to find out what makes the drum sound, and you wait for me here. ”
"I'll go with you. She grabbed him, her eyes bright.
Zhong Yan took her into his arms and said softly, "I won't let you have any problems." ”
On the top of the lonely mountain, there is a huge drum under a withered pine.
The drum surface is old, the red paint is mottled, and the red silk tied to the drum body rises with the wind, like a forgotten elegance.
The mountain wind gradually became swift, and the drums sounded again, but there was no way to torture it.
Zhong Yan conjured a delicate sword, the sword aura was overwhelming, he soared into the air, his wide sleeves flew up, and stabbed straight towards the drum skin.
The drum skin was as hard as a rock, Zhong Yan's sword was useless, and it was bounced to the ground by the force of the drum skin, and blood gushed out from his throat.
The ember called his name, and it was unbelievable that this unsightly drum had such divine power, even Zhong Yan, who was strong in mana and was a demon venerable, could not be defeated.
"This drum is in this mountain...... Mama said that most of them are fetish......"
"Say no more. She looked at the red that kept flowing from the corners of Zhong Yan's mouth, and remembered that he was covered in blood that night, and there was a red tear in his eyes, and the tear was just covering Zhong Yan's cinnabar mole.
Zhong Yan only felt as if his heart had been cut by a thousand knives at this moment, and he was secretly in pain, it seemed that today was my death period......
"Zhong Yan, you promised me that I would be fine......" She grabbed his no longer warm hand, as if to pull him back from the border of death.
“...... That year in ...... Room...... A wish...... Don't seek immortality...... But I have no regrets...... I think...... I...... It should ......" The cinnabar mole on his neck turned into a begonia and fluttered in front of his eyes.
She wanted to wave away, but the begonia flower entered her eyebrows in an instant, and she was like that day, a vague but memorable picture appeared in her mind: the quiet river, there are intoxicating begonias by the river, pink and white swaying.
