Raising Wolves

After waiting for too long, the people below filed in, moved into the tub, and brought hot water, towels, soap, and clean clothes.

As soon as the hot water came in, the room was filled with mist. It was already a dog day, and now it was even more stuffy.

Lu Qing saved his energy for a while, and felt that he had regained some strength. He couldn't wait to wash it, and when everyone quit, he put his hands on the front of his clothes, and couldn't help but glance at a certain blank person: "I'm going to take a shower."

Ning Juan sat where he was, motionless: "Well, I know."

Lu Qing pointed out the door with a good temper: "I heard from Chang Shun that you may not have rested for a long time, so go catch up on sleep now."

Ning Juan remained motionless, sitting as firmly as a mountain, and looked up at him: "I'm worried about the teacher."

Ning Juan's eyes are long and narrow. Because he is in a high position, he always looks at people casually and sharply, but now he is looking up at Lu Qingze from the bottom up. His eyes look like a puppy with sincerity and burning, as if he is a real person. I was very worried that Lu Qing was taking a bath alone, for fear that he would faint from exhaustion.

Lu Qing was really stunned for three seconds. He liked small animals very much, and naturally he also liked small animals, especially dogs.

Such a sincere, warm and innocent puppy.

Lu Qing couldn't bear the look in his eyes, his reason was shaky for three seconds, before he held the bottom line, Su Rong chased people away again: "I can do it alone, don't worry."

It's okay to change clothes in front of Ning Juan, but it's not acceptable for him to take it off.

Especially now that he feels dirty and smelly.

The little brat always has a sweet mouth in front of him, smells so sweet... It's really itchy, dare to talk to the teacher like that.

Ning Juan didn't respond to Lu Qingze's words, and said naturally, "Let me wash the teacher's hair."

Lu Qing looked at his reluctance and pondered for a while.

Is this child being stimulated again?

When we first met, he blocked the assassin's sword for Ning Juan, and he lost blood and fell into a coma for several days. The little emperor was worried all day long that he would suddenly disappear in the middle of the night, and he had to come to test his breathing every night before he could fall asleep peacefully.

This time he was seriously ill and fell into a coma for several days, Ning Wean watched over him non-stop, worrying more than before.

This child is a little left-handed, and no one can pull back when he becomes paranoid.

Forget it, they are all men anyway, so are you afraid to look at them?

Lu Qing thought about Ning Juan taking care of himself in the past few days, and his heart couldn't help softening, and he compromised: "Okay, then turn your head away."

Ning Juan sat at the table, resting his chin on his palm, blinked his eyes with a smile, and obediently turned his head away.

It is true that there are some dirty and ulterior thoughts hidden in his heart.

But Lu Qing is just recovering from a serious illness. If he has any charming thoughts and wants to take advantage, isn't he no different from a beast?

He was really worried about Lu Qingze's body and what would happen to him in the bath.

... Although Xiao misses his teacher, it seems that he is not as good as a beast.

If Lu Qing knew, what would he think of him?

Will he feel nauseous like when he was harassed by Ning Cong back then?

Ning Juan lowered his eyelashes, his pitch-black eyes were dim and hazy like night fog.

Lu Qing didn't pay attention to what Ning Juan was thinking at all, and lowered his head to unbutton his shirt with confidence.

The sound of the rustling clothes rubbing seemed to be close at hand, Ning Juan suddenly regained consciousness, propped his forehead, and suddenly felt a little bit regretful.

Shouldn't it be left behind?

Every sound seems to be hooking him to turn his head to look.

He closed his eyes impatiently, the roots of his ears were deeply red, and exhaled softly.

The room was filled with steaming steam, and taking a deep breath could not relieve the heat in his chest.

Instead, the scene behind him emerged in his mind - the soft clothes were loose, revealing the snow-white skin, under the long black hair, the exquisite butterfly bones were looming...

Immediately there was a splash of water.

Ning Juan and Lu Qing were suddenly relieved at the same time.

Lu Qing sank into the warm water, squinting his eyes comfortably.

The slight uneasiness that lingered around him also disappeared.

He and Ning Juan were obviously the only ones in the room, but just now he felt as if someone was staring at him.

It’s weird.

There are guards from Jin Yiwei and Imperial Guards outside, as well as hidden guards watching, who can pass them and spy on him and Ning Juan?

But Ning Juan, who was more sensitive than his five senses, didn't notice it, it seemed it was just an illusion.

Lu Qing was thinking seriously, and there were familiar footsteps behind him.

Immediately, I felt my hair being picked up.

Lu Qing turned his head and smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, do you really want to wash my hair?"

"Yeah." Afraid of being seen, Ning Juan picked up his hair, not daring to look at it, and said in a serious tone, "Don't be afraid, I will wash it well."

Lu Qingze: "..."

I wasn't afraid at first, but now you say that.

The young majesty of his family is relatively independent, and does not depend on outsiders for daily necessities.

But after all, it is His Majesty the Emperor, and the people who serve him are not just for nothing.

It is actually a bit difficult for Ning Juan to serve others.

Fortunately, although the little emperor's method was not very thoughtful and meticulous, he was very careful, as if he was handling some fragile objects, for fear of accidentally hurting Lu Qingze.

Lu Qing didn't have those stinky problems of being served, as long as he wasn't so sick that he couldn't move his fingers, he cleaned himself up by himself. After struggling for a while, from awkwardness at the beginning to calmness, he slowly gave birth to a heartfelt gratification, and the more The better you think about it.

My son is well-raised, and I know to wash his hair.

If it was the group of brats in his previous class, who were busy rebelling and arguing with their parents, how would they know how to be filial to their elders?

Ning Juan gently combed Lu Qingze's hair, lowered his eyes, shook the soft and thick hair in his hands, and tightened his fingers slightly.

It was as if he wanted to hold this person in his hand.

Lu Qing didn't notice it, and praised in a teasing tone: "Your Majesty has served you well."

Ning Juan ticked the corner of his mouth: "Does the teacher like it?"

"It's okay," Lu Qing said with a hoarse voice and a lazy tone, "I'll see you next time."

Can there be a next time?

Ning Juan was slightly pleasantly surprised, put down Lu Qingze's hair in satisfaction, and obediently retreated behind the screen: "Call me if you need anything, teacher."

Lu Qing roughly scrubbed it once, and it didn't take long before his eyes started to turn black, and his breathing was a little short, so he had to get out of the tub quickly, dry himself in a daze, and put on clean clothes.

After changing clothes and feeling refreshed all over, I feel truly alive.

Glancing outside, he didn't hear Ning Juan's movement. Lu Qing supported the table and slowed down for a while, wiped his hair and walked around behind the screen, calling in doubt, "Guoguo?"

But he saw the young man propping one hand on the armrest of the chair, with the back of his hand resting on his forehead, his long eyelashes closed, breathing evenly.

He just fell asleep sitting up.

After this period of time, even if the young man is full of energy, his body can't hold it anymore, and the black and blue on the lower eyelids are obvious.

Lu Qing was stunned, with a bit of helplessness mixed with distress, he didn't wake him up immediately, walked to the door lightly, and asked the guards outside the door to move things away, and move gently.

Ning Juan's eyelids moved when he heard the slight movement of coming in and going out.

Lu Qing signaled Chang Shun to help, and the two moved Ning Juan to the couch next to him, while Lu Qing coaxed, "It's okay, go on sleeping."

The young emperor, who was struggling to open his eyes, frowned. After smelling the familiar scent, he really calmed down. Lu Qing helped him take off his coat, shoes and socks, and fell asleep soundly.

During these days, Changshun couldn't persuade Ning Juan to go to bed and sleep. Seeing this scene, he took out a small handkerchief to wipe the corners of his eyes in relief, and sighed in his heart.

It has to be Mr. Lu.

Lu Qing didn't want to sleep anymore for the time being, and stayed in the room for fear of disturbing Ning Juan, so he made a "shh" gesture to Changshun, picked up a hairpin, tied up his still wet hair, and gently exited the room. room.

There was no light or wind for many days, and the moment he walked out of the house to breathe fresh air, Lu Qing squinted his eyes, turned his head and asked Chang Shun: "What happened during the few days I was sleeping?"

It is naturally impossible for Changshun to say to Lu Qing, "Your Majesty seems to be a little unruly with you."

Although Lu Qing is His Majesty's teacher... but the monarchs and ministers, even teachers, are only His Majesty's subjects in the final analysis.

Above ten thousand people is within His Majesty's thought, and under one person is also within His Majesty's thought.

He squeezed out a smile: "There is nothing new. Master Yu presided over the construction of the river embankment, and it went very smoothly. Those rich businessmen who are sneaky, treacherous, and cunning dare not make any small moves. His Majesty released the magistrate who was locked in the prison to do business. There is no need to worry about big and small things, the resettlement centers have been built everywhere, and the statistical roster has been handed in..."

Chang Shun roughly said a few words, seeing that Lu Qingze's face was still not very good-looking, and he was very clever: "Why don't you go back to the house and sleep for a while?"

His Majesty must be happy when he wakes up and sees Master Lu sleeping next to him.

Lu Qing waved his hand: "If you don't walk again, you will forget how to walk."

After sleeping for so long, it's enough to go to bed early.

Your Majesty... the servant has worked hard.

Chang Shun swallowed the words silently, helped Lu Qingze, and walked slowly around the yard twice.

It wasn't too hot in the morning, but after just a few steps, Lu Qing was sweating a little on his forehead, feeling exhausted.

He didn't want to disturb Ning Juan's rest by going back to the room, Chang helped him by the way, walked into the opposite room and sat down.

It is said that this is Ning Juan's resting room, but in fact, he has never received the blessing of His Majesty the Emperor at all, so there are some documents piled up on the desk, and there are some traces of life.

As soon as Lu Qing sat down, he saw an open document, which was a report from the patient's office.

Glancing twice, his brows furrowed.

It records the situation of the infected patients in the ward for the past few days.

The number of infected people is increasing.

The entire infirmary has now been completely sealed off, and only a few people can enter and leave with orders.

He has a weak constitution and even weaker resistance. He is sick for half of the year due to various reasons. It stands to reason that if it is contact, it will be contagious. He has been in contact with Linxi so many times, so he should not be spared.

So what is the route of infection?

Lu Qing rubbed his chin, recalling the various infectious disease cases he had seen in his previous life, and flipped through the documents on the table about the patient's clinic.

The ward is far away from Ji'an City, and because of the high risk, Ning Juan only went to inspect it twice, and never went again. Dr. Xu and several imperial physicians tested the medicine, and also selected patients with different degrees of disease from the ward , Not all of them went in to take risks, otherwise, if they were infected, no one in Jiangyou would be able to control them.

It is difficult for people in the ward to come out, and the actual situation inside is reported by the people below.

They should have sent someone to check on the spot, but Ning Juan's attention was mostly on him in the past few days.

Lu Qing crushed that page of documents, thought for a long time, and looked up at Changshun: "Changshun, can you find two people to go to the patient's clinic to find out the actual situation? Don't report your majesty's name, keep a low profile."

Chang Shun was about to nod, when there were hurried footsteps outside the door, and a warm gaze suddenly enveloped him.

The young man woke up at the beginning of the day, and a hoarse voice came from the door: "Teacher, just ask me if you have anything to do. What do you want to ask Changshun for?"

Chang Shun immediately shut his mouth, and silently shrank back into the corner.

Lu Qing looked over in surprise: "Didn't Your Majesty just fall asleep, why did you wake up?"

Ning Juan's face was faintly pale, his eyes were fixed on his face, but his tone was very steady: "I can't sleep without the teacher around."

He didn't want to fall asleep at first, but seeing Lu Qingze finally woke up, his mind relaxed a little, his body was too tired, and when he leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes, he fell into a dark and sweet dreamland.

Until he had a nightmare and woke up with his heart clenched, but Lu Qing disappeared when he opened his eyes.

At that moment, he almost thought that the nightmare had come true. Cold sweat poured down like rain in an instant, and he hurriedly jumped out of bed to look for someone.

He didn't even have time to put on his outer robe, and when he rushed out of the room, he startled the hidden guards guarding outside.

Fortunately, the desk in the opposite room was moved to the window, and when he stepped out of the room, he saw Lu Qingze, and his beating heart calmed down.

Lu Qing looked at him in a hurry, with sweat still floating on his forehead, looked straight at himself, guessed that he must have had a nightmare, got up and took out his handkerchief, and wiped his sweat: "dream gone?"

Ning Juan stretched out his hand to cage him silently, lowered his head, knocked on his shoulder, and closed his eyes.

Changshun is still there, so he is not ashamed to act like a baby in front of Changshun.

Lu Qing patted his back helplessly: "Okay, am I alright?"

Ning Juan gave a low "hmm", and after a long time, raised his head again.

His hair was uncombed and disheveled, revealing a bit of youthful vigor that is rarely seen at ordinary times: "The teacher is right, the group below is like the darkness under the lamp, I was negligent."

He glanced at Changshun, and said calmly: "Send an order to Zheng Yao, and tell the two of them to go low-key to investigate the situation in the infirmary, and then report what they see and hear in detail."

Zheng Yao looked down on eunuchs, and Chang Shun didn't like dealing with Zheng Yao very much.

But now he was even more afraid of being in the space where the two of them were together.

Seeing that Chang Shun was about to go out, Lu Qing blinked, and suddenly remembered something: "Is there someone missing?"

Ning Juan didn't get enough sleep, the drowsiness came back again, and his voice fluttered: "Is there any?"

Lu Qing looked around, and finally understood where the subtle sense of disharmony in his heart came from since he woke up: "Where is Chen Xiaodao?"

Ning Juan slowly opened his eyes: "..."

Chang Shun, who walked to the door, looked panic-stricken.

Lu Qing instantly saw that something was wrong, tore off Ning Juan who was sticking to him, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Huh?"

"...Shunzi." Ning Juan didn't change his face, "Someone get Chen Xiaodao out."

Chen Xiaodao is still staying in the shelter where suspected patients are isolated.

Chang Shun didn't dare to look back, it was the first time he missed Commander Zheng's gangster face so much, he quickly responded and fled the scene quickly.

Lu Qing nodded Ning Juan's forehead expressionlessly: "Explain?"

Ning Juan pursed his lips, raised his eyelids, and stared at him: "The teacher is sick, and the first reaction is to look for Chen Xiaodao, I don't like it."

Lu Qing knocked hard on his forehead: "You don't know why I looked for a knife? Because he won't break into the door involuntarily!"

Ning Juan didn't think it was his fault.

But discussing this matter again will inevitably lead to another quarrel.

Lu Qingze finally woke up. He didn't want to quarrel with Lu Qingze on this matter again. He just covered his forehead and yelled, rubbed his head against Lu Qingze's neck, and whispered coquettishly: "Teacher , my head hurts."

This matter must correct Ning Juan's thoughts, but now is obviously not the time.

How could he be willing to teach the child who gave him a real lesson?

But also really angry.

Lu Qing knocked him again, and said coldly, "Go to sleep."

The second knock was obviously much lighter than the first knock, and there was no sense of punishment.

The corners of Ning Juan's mouth were slightly bent, and he continued to work hard. Knowing Lu Qingze's weakness, he deliberately looked up at him with innocent eyes: "But the teacher is not around, so I can't sleep."

Lu Qing didn't know his little tricks: "I don't know, when will I still have the effect of calming the nerves and helping sleep?"

Having said that, he still lay down on the bed with Ning Juan.

Lu Qing woke up from a serious illness and lacked energy. After waking up and tossing for a while, his body screamed to rest again.

Originally, I wanted to coax the child to sleep, but when I lay down, I felt a little drowsy.

Ning Juan was the opposite of him. Although he was exhausted physically and mentally, he didn't want to sleep that much after lying down.

The person who misses day and night is lying beside him, how can he sleep?

Ning Juan couldn't help but want to go to Lu Qingze's side, and called slowly, "Teacher..."

Lu Qing said "um" in a daze.

The body also unconsciously rubbed against the outside, and put his hands between the two, refusing Ning Juan to approach.

Think he is too hot.

Ning Juan got angry for a while.

Lu Qingze, do you still have a conscience!

He was so angry that he stared at Lu Qingze for a while, watching his heartless, breathing more and more evenly.

Ning Juan almost laughed angrily at him, and wanted to pinch him, but he stretched out his hand, but he was not willing to pinch him.

Probably because he had just showered, his face, which had been pale and sick two days ago and whose vitality was faltering, had a rare rosy complexion.

It was not easy to raise it, what to do if it is pinched.

"Teacher." Ning Juan lowered his voice.

Lu Qing gave a soft "hmm".

"Next time, if you need anything, you should come to me immediately." Ning Juan said slowly, "I won't be happy if you go to someone else."

If he wants to become the irreplaceable person in Lu Qingze's mind, if he wants Lu Qing to rely on him, he cannot do without him.

Lu Qing's mind was in a mess, and he was responding to Ning Juan completely instinctively. He didn't even hear what Ning Juan said, and habitually said "ummm", signaling the little boy to stop making noise, and go to bed if he wants to sleep. sleep well.

Ning Juan saw that he was so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open, promised what he said, he could just abduct him for a bowl of steamed cheese with sugar, he couldn't help smiling, and the anger just now disappeared.

After taking a bath, the bitter medicinal smell soaked in Lu Qingze's body dissipated a lot, and the refreshing fragrance of plum rose to the surface of the ice again.

It was Ning Juan's most familiar breath.

This breath always made Ning Juan feel at ease. He didn't feel sleepy at first, but after staring at Lu Qing for a long time, he fell asleep unconsciously.

However, this sleep did not last long.

After he had several bizarre dreams in a row, he actually continued the nightmare he had when he fell asleep alone.

Lu Qing in the dream was infected with the epidemic and did not wake up in the end.

Everyone is persuading him to burn Lu Qingze's body to prevent the spread of the plague.

He watched Lu Qing lying pale on the bed, the little anger like a candle in the wind between his eyebrows completely disappeared, his fingertips became cold, and his heart also became cold.

That was actually the nightmare he had been recurring these days.

As long as he took a nap, he would dream all this in a short sleep.

He dare not sleep.

In this dream, I don't know who lit the fire.

The flames shot up into the sky fiercely, burning Ning Juan's eyes red, he rushed into the fire scene recklessly, but what he saw was the charred black bones.

……

Ning Juan was awakened by the nightmare again.

His chest was heaving violently, his whole body was trembling while breathing, his eyes were almost frozen, he turned his head mechanically, his eyes were wild and frantic, until he saw clearly the person lying beside him, saw his chest rising and falling slightly, from the dream The heart-wrenching feeling brought out by the movie subsided.

He couldn't help leaning over, and put his ear against Lu Qingze's chest, listening to the heartbeat that was not strong but stable enough.

It is alive and warm.

Not the dry bone in the dream.

I don't know how long it took before Ning Juan's breathing calmed down a little.

It's just a nightmare.

Thankfully it was just a nightmare.

Ning Juan closed his eyes, tried his best to pull out his consciousness from the chaotic dream, propped himself up, stared at Lu Qingze without blinking, rubbed his fingertips on the tear mole at the corner of his eye, and called out in a low voice: "Teacher...Huai Xue."

This distance that can be reached with one hand stretched out, as if he really held Lu Qingze in the palm of his hand.

Lu Qing just twitched his eyelashes and had no other reaction.

This is Lu Qingze's trust in him.

The person he was thinking of was lying beside him unconsciously and completely ignorantly, with a beautiful face peacefully and quietly, unaware that there was a wolf coveting him beside him.

Ning Juan was suddenly full of pity for Lu Qing who was so ignorant, and looked at his still slightly whitish lips deeply, with a slight heat at the tip of his heart.

I want to smear it on with my fingers like before, rub that lip red, and rub it hot.

He tried to make Lu Qing unable to scream, but forced him to scream again.

The room was so quiet that a needle could be heard, Ning Juan could only hear his rumbling heartbeat and Lu Qingze's shallow breathing, his Adam's apple twitched dryly, and his fingers were about to slide down.

Suddenly footsteps came from outside, and Changshun's slightly shrill voice sounded: "Your Majesty, there is a secret letter, and this servant will send it to you..."

When Changshun stepped on the threshold, his voice stopped abruptly.

Ning Juan didn't panic, and unhurriedly withdrew his movements, untied the bed curtain and put it down, glanced faintly in his eyes: "Be quiet."

Chang Shun, like a goose whose neck has been strangled, backed away embarrassingly: "I didn't see anything..."

Ning Juan repeated "I didn't see anything" playfully, with an inexplicable emotion on his face: "So what if you saw everything?"

Chang Shun's eyelids twitched, and he didn't feel like he was speaking to himself.

Could it be that His Majesty is planning to use force on Mr. Lu?

But Master Lu's body, can it bear it?

The author has something to say:

Lu Qingze: What kind of bad intentions can a puppy hook have?

Puppies have a lot of bad intentions!
