There is a dragon in the backyard of the palace

The red dragon has been trapped in this secret room for hundreds of years.

Seven bone-penetrating nails were nailed to her body, and the bone-penetrating nails went through her bones, firmly nailing her to the ground.These seven nails are made of black ice that will never melt, and there are water veins in the ground. As a red dragon, she belongs to fire, and being nailed to the water veins by these black ice nails, she can't move at all.

She didn't know how long she had been trapped. In this dark place, it was meaningless to count time.She just felt pain, but over time, even this pain had become numb.She has no food, and being detained in such a place, she can only feel that she is getting weaker and weaker, and she has no energy at all.With her current state, even if she is released now, she may not be able to move.But she is one of the five original true dragons that have existed since ancient times, and she is not so easy to die.

Maybe it's better to be dead.

She had already lost hope, and she had even forgotten what hope was.In other words, she couldn't remember everything.Even the reasons for her being in this situation took a lot of effort to remember.But this is not for hatred, she has long since lost the power to hate,

The only thing she can remember clearly is that name:

Heavy Jia.

All her hopes are on Zhongjia, if she can still remember what hope is.Only Zhongjia has the chance to save her, only Chongjia may come to save her, and there is no one else.

But... after such a long time, where is Zhongjia?

But Chilong still waited until this day. On this day, Chilong was awakened by a loud bang. She tried her best to open her eyes, and saw a faint light penetrate into the dark cell where she was imprisoned.The young man standing behind the light looked so familiar... So she asked the name in a hoarse voice:

"Chongjia?"

Xiao stood in front of the dark cave, barely able to move.

Of course he is not Chongjia, but the name Chongjia is no stranger to him, and he even recited that sentence in the history books:

"After Gaozu passed away, the fifth son ascended the throne as Emperor Taizong, named Chongjia."

Why was the red dragon, who was actually a woman, imprisoned in Gaozu's tomb?Why did she call Taizong's name with such tenderness?

With all the clues strung together, Xiao could only think of one possibility.

Xiao's body trembled violently.

The things he had always believed in all the time collapsed in an instant.Everything about the founding of this country, all the sentences in the history books he memorized, all the legends he talked about, were all based on hypocritical lies.Gao Zu is not only not a hero, he is also a robber, a thief, and a big liar.What he did was as disgusting as the old King Jin's, or even worse.

Xiao's teeth chattered, and he was almost speechless, but he finally made a sound, asking in a trembling voice:

"You...excuse me...are you...are you Empress Gao?"

As soon as Xiao asked this question, he felt something was wrong.Empress Gao is the posthumous title of empress Gaozu, which was drafted by the courtiers after the empress died.Although the red dragon is not dead now, it is obvious that he will not know his posthumous title.

The red dragon seemed a bit confused:

"What are you talking about? I can't understand. But I seem to have been a queen...why should I be that kind of empress?"

Most of the guesses in Xiao's heart were confirmed by these few words. To make sure, he asked cautiously:

"Is the Chongjia you mentioned... your son?"

"The red dragon nodded, her eyes seemed to be filled with tears, you...you really aren't Chongjia? You look alike to him."

Xiao shook his head:

"The Chongjia you mentioned has been dead for hundreds of years. I am his great-grandson nine generations later."

Chilong's eyes suddenly lost their spirits:

"Did he not escape after all?"

Xiao asked her a few more words, but she didn't say anything else, just kept repeating this sentence in her mouth.Xiao felt that Chilong seemed to have been imprisoned for too long, and his mind was a little confused.

He turned his head to look at Qinglong, only to hear Qinglong say to him:

"Look at her."

Xiao held up the lantern and looked over, only to see seven crystal ice nails nailed to Chilong's body.

Seeing her like this, Xiao remembered what Qinglong looked like when he was imprisoned in the palace.At that time, Qinglong was only pierced with a lute bone, and he could change shape, and he could usually walk around the house.But the red dragon was completely nailed to the ground, except for the head and tail, there was no way to even move it.

With seven nails driven into the body, how painful is that?Gaozu is really ruthless.

Xiao raised his head and looked at Qinglong:

"Can we save her?"

A smile appeared on Qinglong's lips:

"If it's someone else, I'm afraid it's really not easy to save. It's also considered that this red dragon is lucky to meet me. Although I am not a black dragon who specializes in water, I am still in charge of the East China Sea after all, and I have a little control over this mysterious ice. It's just that she has been nailed here for too long, and her body is too weak. If you remove the seven ice nails at once, I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it. If you want to save her, we have to make a little trouble and come here every few days to replace her. She pulls out the ice spikes and gets her something to eat along the way."

Of course Xiao would not object to this plan. This time, Qinglong pulled out the ice nail on Chilong's tail, Chilong roared in pain, shaking the entire underground palace.

"Don't worry." Xiao said to Chilong, "We will come back tomorrow and bring you something to eat. Don't worry, you will be free soon."

Chilong didn't make a sound, and I don't know if she understood.

Xiao and Qinglong left the underground palace, and they came again the next day.

They brought a lot of food to Chilong, took good care of her, applied medicine to the part where the ice nail was removed, and talked with her.They took care of Chilong like this for more than half a month, and pulled out three ice nails for her.After such a long period of care, Chilong's physical condition has improved a lot, and his spirit has also improved. He finally figured out that hundreds of years have passed, and although her beloved son Chongjia became the emperor, he failed to come to save him. she.

She also told Xiao and Qinglong about her experience, which was a story completely different from the historical records.

Chilong lives on the Nanshan Mountain, she is like a green dragon, she usually lives alone, occasionally she feels bored, she turns into a human form to play in the world.At that time, the world was in troubled times, and Chilong met Gaozu by mistake.

At that time, Gaozu was the leader of a small rebel army. The two met and fell in love with each other, so they lived together.Chilong's nature is brilliant, and it didn't take long for him to reveal his identity.She doesn't care about fame and wealth in the world, and often wears Gaozu's armor to pretend to be Gaozu and fight for him.Once when encountering a white dragon, it was also the red dragon who cut off the white dragon's head with a single blow.

Knowing that the flesh and blood of a real dragon can prolong life, Chilong thought that his own lifespan is endless, but his lover's lifespan is less than a hundred years, so he asked Gaozu to eat the flesh and blood of a white dragon so that he could prolong his life.

Gao Zu attributed many achievements of Chilong to himself, and called himself Chilong to the outside world.Chilong never cared about these things, and later when Gaozu ascended the throne, Chilong became the queen.

Gao Zu was already 70 years old when he came to the throne, but because he drank dragon's blood, he looked like a man in his thirties.Chilong gave birth to five children one after another, all of whom were taken away by Gaozu as soon as they were born.The red dragon is not strong in motherhood and does not object.However, those five children died one after another, which made Chilong feel that something was wrong.Therefore, the two youngest children, Chilong has been raising them personally, and only then did he raise them up.

Later Gaozu built a mausoleum for himself and invited her to watch it with him.She was defenseless, but she didn't want to be locked here.It wasn't until that time that Chilong finally realized that her lover was no longer the person she knew back then.

Gao Zu, who tore off the mask of hypocrisy, looked extraordinarily crazy and terrifying.Bailong's flesh and blood kept him youthful for decades, but the effect could not last forever. When he found wrinkles on his forehead one day, he already had other thoughts in his heart.

He was afraid and jealous of his wife.He has occupied the title of Red Dragon for too long, worrying that people will find out that the real Red Dragon is not himself.He is also jealous of Chilong's near-eternal life and tyrannical and invincible body.This kind of fear and jealousy, coupled with the desire for power and longevity, made Gao Zu a completely different person.

Only when Chilong was imprisoned in the underground palace did she know that her five dead children were actually killed by Gaozu himself.Just because her children are half-dragon bodies, they are destined to be stronger than his father who lives by drinking dragon blood.Gaozu didn't want heirs, he was afraid of his children, afraid that they would be stronger than him, afraid that they would compete with him for the throne, so he killed them with his own hands, even the girl among them.Only the two youngest, because they were always protected by the queen, he didn't find a chance to strike.

Gaozu imprisoned her here, announced that the queen died of illness, and buried the corpse of a court lady in the queen's coffin.

During that time, Gao Zu came every day to cut open her body to take blood, and the amount he took was much more than what he needed to drink every day.Outsiders watched Gaozu go to the underground palace of the queen's mausoleum every day, and only said that he was deeply affectionate and missed his dead wife.Little did he know that he came here every day just for his own greed.

Finally, Gao Zu saved enough blood, enough for him to drink for 100 years.So he asked someone to build a brick wall in front of the red dragon, and locked her inside firmly. He also placed the skull of the white dragon in the secret room to cover up the dragon aura emanating from her body.

Chilong didn't know what happened later.She just hoped that her son Zhongjia would grow up and be able to kill his father and rescue herself from this prison.Unfortunately, she has never been able to wait until this day.

Xiao knew a little about what Chilong didn't know.Through the records in the history books, combined with what Chilong said, Xiao vaguely guessed the truth of the matter: Taizong couldn't bear Gaozu's violence, or was tired of waiting endlessly, and finally killed his father and king.But he didn't know that his mother was not dead, let alone that she was hidden in the underground palace of this mausoleum.Maybe he also had doubts, maybe he also searched secretly, but no matter what, he couldn't find his mother. After all, his mother was locked in this dark and narrow space for hundreds of years.
