Raising Wolves

Lu Qingze's eyelids twitched, and it was the first time in his two lifetimes that he experienced a sense of horror.

Called out by name, it seems that the anger is not small.

Thanks to Duan Lingguang, he still swore that Ning Juan would never see him.

In summer, the clothes are light and thin, and because they are too close, they can clearly feel each other's body temperature. The surroundings are thick and dark like ink, with limited vision, and the other senses are infinitely magnified, almost a sense of absurd skin touching.

Perhaps it was because his hand was too cold, and the temperature of holding his hand was too hot, and the tightly gripped fingers were burning.

A little hazy light came in from the window and couldn't penetrate to the bottom, so he couldn't see the expression of the person in front of him clearly.

He didn't hear the answer, and the strength of holding his five fingers increased a little, and the boy's voice fell into his ears again, with unpredictable emotions: "Don't you want to say it?"

Lu Qing felt flustered for no reason, trying to appease the boy's emotions first: "Guoguo, let go of me first, Let’s talk about it after lighting the lamp, okay?”

Ning Juan still restrained him, motionless, and said softly, "Teacher's body is cold, I'll keep you warm."

Does the weather still need to be warm?

He was already sweating a little after staying in the room for a while.

However, Lu Qing didn't want to add fuel to the fire at this time. After a moment of silence, he decided to open up and said: "You saw me on the boat? I..."

"What ship?" Ning Juan interrupted him with a cool voice, "Isn't the teacher unwell, did you go to bed early after I went to the banquet? Chen Xiaodao also asked the secret guard to help catch the cicada in the palace Worm, I'm afraid I'll wake you up."

Lu Qing only felt that his head, which was sore from the cool wind blowing on the boat just now, hurt even more now, and said sincerely: "I did bypass your people and went out alone. Tell me in detail."

Ning Juan's face darkened again when he couldn't see clearly.

Is it inconvenient to talk to him in detail?

Is there anything between them that cannot be discussed in detail?

Is it the corners where he is not allowed to touch the hidden secrets?

There was a rustling sound of cloth rubbing, and Lu Qing clearly felt that the hand holding his finger was slowly sliding up. The young man practiced sword all the year round, and there were thin calluses on his finger pads. When rubbing against his skin, he felt a little unbearable. The itch, like touching with such force, made his scalp numb.

The sense of touch is infinitely stretched and magnified, but that is actually only a moment.

Then the wrist was tightly grasped.

The voice next to my ear was low and deep, with an unknown depression: "Is there anything I can't know?"

...You really can't know that.

Not only was the dead body resurrected, but also two lonely ghosts floated from another world.

Lu Qing's mind turned sharply, thinking about how to find a reasonable explanation.

This simply confirms what Duan Lingguang said jokingly, "You didn't come to me to conspire against me."

Based on his relationship with Ning Juan, apart from plotting to rebel, what other reason could he have to sneak out alone, avoiding all of Ning Juan's eyeliners?

This is really...

Lu Qing's head hurt even more, and several unreliable reasons went around his mouth, but he couldn't spit it out. Instead, there was a thunderbolt in his mind, and when he realized something, he held Ning Juan's hand behind his back, There was more eagerness in the tone: "Where's the knife? And Duan Lingguang, you didn't do anything to Duan Lingguang, did you?"

Chen Xiaodao just went to the kitchen to get medicine for him, the kitchen is not far from here, but he hasn't come back for so long, he must be pressed down by Ning Juan's people.

And Duan Lingguang.

With this brat's character, Duan Lingguang might have been bound and tortured in front of Zheng Yao!

Lu Qingze's body was at a disadvantage. Even if he felt that he had used a lot of force and fell into Ning Juan's hands, he was still light, and he could easily break free without any effort.

Ning Juan let him hold his right hand, raised his other hand silently, and took off the mask on his face. With his sharp eyes like an eagle, he traced his outline over and over again in the blurred light and shadow. .

After the banquet tonight, it was on his whim that he wanted to take a boat ride again, thinking that when Lu Qingze got better, he would take him to go boating on the lake.

After sitting on the boat for a while, he suddenly felt a little dizzy from seasickness. He made an excuse to come out to enjoy the wind, and was surrounded by a group of people and walked to the side of the boat. On the painting boat, we talked happily.

Although he couldn't see his expression clearly, he could tell from his familiarity with Lu Qingze that Lu Qing was very relaxed at that time.

Maybe he tilted his head slightly, listening carefully to what the other person said, with the corners of his lips raised, showing a nice smile.

His Huai Xue was actually like that in front of a stranger he didn't know.

Even in front of him, Lu Qing would not do that.

Because Lu Qing believed himself to be his teacher, but in Lu Qing's eyes, he was just a child who hadn't grown up yet.

He supported the side of the boat, and the pain of seasickness subsided, and he watched the painting boat rushing away coldly.

At that moment, an uncontrollable thought rose in his heart, and a cold emotion boiled in his chest.

That emotion is, jealousy.

"Chen Xiaodao distracted the guards who were protecting you, and put your safety at risk, he should be punished."

Ning Juan said in a faint voice, "The secret guards in charge of the night watch tonight will receive thirty whips and one year's punishment."

But Duan Lingguang was not mentioned at all.

"What's the matter with them?"

Lu Qing was still a little guilty at first, and didn't think it was a big deal. Hearing this, he finally realized something was wrong, frowned, and said in a slightly harsh tone, "Chen Xiaodao is following my orders, and those hidden guards are just being deceived." If you really want to be punished, just punish me."

Compared to Lu Qingze, who was rarely more emotional, Ning Juan's tone was still calm: "Teacher, have you ever thought that if something happens to you outside, even if they die [-] times, it will be hard to forgive them?"

Lu Qing didn't even think about it: "If something happens to me outside, it's my own fault, and I'm responsible for it, so it has nothing to do with others."

Ning Juan's lungs were already filled with anger, which hadn't dissipated at all, but he prodded him even more vigorously, and suddenly grabbed his jaw, and said coldly: "Lu Huaixue, you have to understand that your life is as important as theirs. no the same!"

"Dereliction of duty is dereliction of duty. I was deceived by Chen Xiaodao today and didn't take good care of you. Tomorrow, I should be distracted and let the assassins in. They deserve to be punished for their long memory."

His jaw was pinched and he couldn't move. Lu Qingze's temples throbbed. Amidst the splitting headache, he suddenly discovered the problem.

He and Ning Juan looked at this matter from a different angle. He viewed it from a private perspective, but Ning Juan's handling method was from the emperor's perspective.

There is no point in saying this at all, and it is not clear whether it is right or wrong.

For an emperor, no matter he, Chen Xiaodao, or those hidden guards should be punished tonight.

Because this provoked the authority and safety of the emperor.

Lu Qing's jaw ached from being pinched, and he hissed softly. Taking advantage of the pain, he calmed down a bit, and decided to grab one or the other first: "That Duan Lingguang should be released. You can rest assured that I didn't fight with you." He said any confidential matters, just happened to meet and swim in the lake together."

Hearing Lu Qingze's hiss in pain, Ning Juan's hand paused, his strength relaxed, his fingers caressed his chin as if soothing, touching his lower lip either intentionally or unintentionally.

Lu Qingze's body tensed involuntarily.

Ning Juan didn't want to simply let Duan Lingguang go, so he said noncommittally, "Zheng Yao will report what happened."

Lu Qing couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and even the pain on his jaw suddenly became lighter.

Ning Juan...doesn't trust him?

If Zheng Yao tortured Duan Lingguang, the consequences would be unimaginable.

His fingertips holding Ning Juan's wrist were turning white, and he paused each word: "Duan Lingguang was released, if you want to torture me, why don't you torture me!"

As soon as these words came out, it seemed that Ning Juan's nerves were suddenly pricked.

His eyes blurred suddenly, there was a creak in his ear, the canopy bed shook, and when he came back to his senses, he had already been pressed onto the bed.

Ning Juan propped up his side with one hand, and knelt on the bed with one leg, crossed in the middle, making him unable to close it.

The young man on his body trembled a little, his heavy breath sprayed finely on his neck, tainted with the smell of alcohol, and his soft voice seemed to come out from between his teeth: "How much affection does the teacher have for him? Are you willing to be punished for him?"

Lu Qing frowned. He didn't like this oppressed posture very much, but now is not the time to be picky about the posture. Try to keep your tone more stable so as not to irritate him again: "Meeting by chance, it's just a coincidence. I just I don’t want to involve innocent people anymore.”

He took a deep breath, pleading in his voice: "Guoguo, let him go."

The teacher begged him for another man?

Ning Juan's eyes became colder and he didn't respond.

Lu Qing felt his temples throbbing, tugging on the string in his brain, and the pain made his mind confused.

On the boat, when Duan Lingguang bluntly reminded him of those taboos, he categorically denied it, because he felt that he was very familiar with Ning Juan's character. He watched Ning Juan grow up, raised Ning Juan, and he was the one who knew him best in the world. people.

But now he has a trace of doubt.

Does he really understand Ning Juan?

At least the young emperor in front of him, who was pressing him down on the bed with heavy coercion, gave him a slight sense of strangeness.

Lu Qing came back to his senses, and found that he was sweating at some point, his throat was itchy, and the sharp pain in his head made his eyes look like fireworks exploding, and the pieces were gorgeous and white.

He didn't want to show weakness, he gritted his teeth and said nothing, Ning Juan didn't even notice, his fingertips slipped from the tear mole at the corner of his eyes, and landed on his sweaty and cold Adam's apple.

The fragile throat slid under his fingers, with a slight swallowing motion.

The anger was suddenly exaggerated by the feeling of fullness into another meaning.

Ning Juan couldn't help lowering his head, and smelled the cold plum fragrance, but besides this familiar smell, there was also a hint of lotus fragrance.

His movements froze, and he whispered softly: "You also gave him a lotus?"

It seems to be asking, but the tone is flat and straightforward.

The fatal place was pinched so lightly, there was an indescribable danger.

Lu Qing couldn't help but raised his head, trying to avoid Ning Juan's actions, but he couldn't avoid it.

Lu Qing can accept accusations and torture.

But in the dark, he was humiliated by being aggressively teased, and he became a little annoyed under the pain, so he simply let go of Ning Juan's sleeves and said coldly: "It's just that I'm afraid you will find out, so stay there That’s all—what, is His Majesty planning to strangle me tonight?”

"Why would the teacher think so?" Ning Juan stroked his Adam's apple, and suddenly smiled vaguely, "How can I be willing?"

His voice was hoarse, and he repeated softly: "How can I be willing."

The field of vision was pitch black, so Lu Qing didn't see Ning Juan's eyes and the curvature of his mouth.

It was not a kind smile, staring at him like a wolf with cruel green light, wishing to tear him apart and swallow him, it was creepy.

If Ning Juan hadn't dared to press him down for fear of crushing him, Lu Qing would have discovered the problem.

Perhaps because of drinking, Ning Juan's mind was boiling like lava.

Lu Qing is so disobedient that he even dared to bypass his people to find a private meeting tonight, so next time, will he just leave him?

If Lu Qing left, what would he do?

Lu Qing taught him since he was a child that he is the emperor of Daqi, and if he wants anything, he can get it by himself without asking for help.

He just wanted Lu Qingze, so what's wrong?

Just obey the teacher's order.

Ning Juan's eyes were dim, with a kind of plunder and cautiousness determined to win, he bent down silently, wanting to kiss the lips that were always saying things he didn't like to hear.

He had tasted this lip, and it was softer and sweeter than anything he had tasted in these years.

Lu Qing felt a little dazed in pain, but he knew that Ning Juan probably wouldn't hurt him.

At this moment, subconsciously, he felt extremely dangerous.

Sensing the hot breath approaching, he suddenly turned his head to avoid it, but it landed on something that was not dangerous. Something soft with a slight smell of alcohol rubbed against the tear mole at the corner of his eye, so lightly that there was a kind of pity. illusion.

After a while, he realized that those were Ning Juan's lips.

Did you come across it by accident?

Lu Qing opened his lips, and the itching in his throat suddenly intensified.

He wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he burst into a heart-piercing cough, his frail body trembled violently, as if his bones were about to break.

All the charming thoughts disappeared in an instant, Ning Juan immediately helped Lu Qingze up, patted his back to give him comfort, and sternly shouted: "The medicine!"

The door panel creaked, and Chang Shun, who was guarding the outside, walked into the room with the medicine in his hand.

There was no candle in the room, so he poked his head, unable to tell the direction for a while, afraid of spilling the medicine, but also afraid to light the candle himself, afraid of seeing something he shouldn't see, he hesitated for a while, weak He called out loudly: "...Your Majesty?"

Ning Juan frowned, got up and wanted to get the medicine.

The hand was grabbed.

Lu Qing coughed until his eyes turned black, his throat seemed to be ground by sand, and there was a little bloody smell. When he spoke, his voice was already hoarse: "Your Majesty, let Duan Lingguang and Chen Xiaodao go."

The voice was low and tired, as if he no longer regarded him as a student who could be reprimanded, but as His Majesty the Emperor above ten thousand people.

Ning Juan's heart suddenly felt fine and dense pain.

He didn't brush away Lu Qingze's hand, nor did he agree immediately.

The room was silent for a few moments, Chang Shun was sweating profusely, put the medicine bowl by the table, and quietly retreated.

Ning Juan picked up the medicine and handed it to Lu Qingze's lips without saying a word.

Lu Qing's mind was in a mess, don't start, tried his best to suppress the itching in his throat, his thin chest heaved and heaved heavily, and he said intermittently: "I promise, there will be no second time for what happened tonight .”

After another silence, Ning Juan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and ordered outside: "Let Chen Xiaodao and Duan Lingguang go."

Lu Qing's tensed shoulders suddenly loosened.

Ning Juan conveniently lit the candle beside the bed, the warm candle light filled the room, and his eyes suddenly lit up, while Lu Qing closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the bowl of medicine appeared in his eyes again.

Ning Juan said coldly: "Now you should be willing to drink medicine."

Lu Qing leaned against the bed exhaustedly, raised his eyelids and glanced at him with little strength, and then deeply closed his long eyelashes that were almost soaked in sweat.

Under the candlelight, the face was very pale, covered with a thin layer of cold sweat, the hair crown was loosened at some point, and a few strands of hair were messy on the cheeks, making the complexion as cold and jade-like astonishingly white , the light-colored thin lips were also reddened and dripping with water because of being bitten by herself when the emotion was intense.

Clearly Ning Juan didn't have time to do anything, yet it looked as if he had done everything.

Lu Qing is so weak, he was forced to be like this by himself.

Ning Juan was well aware of this fact, but looking at Lu Qingze who was short of breath, dirty thoughts rose uncontrollably in his mind.

How can someone be so sick even when they are sick?

Even if it is sick, it is difficult to suppress the beast.

Lu Qingze like this is really... perfect for being hidden.

For a moment, he subtly understood Ning Cong's reaction when he saw Lu Qingze.

Compared with Ning Cong, he doesn't seem to be much better.

Ning Juan lowered his eyes, covering the burning eyes, scooped up a spoonful of medicine and fed it to Lu Qingze.

Lu Qingze's throat hurt even when he swallowed, and his brain hurt even more. He felt that whoever poked him again would collapse uncontrollably.

Didn't even have the energy to cough and get angry anymore.

He felt that the corners of his eyes were still burning, and he turned his head away again, and his breath was unstable when he spoke: "Go out."

Seeing his appearance, Ning Juan's Adam's apple rolled, and he suddenly became weak: "Teacher, I will feed you the medicine first, and I will go out after you drink the medicine."

"I'll drink it myself." Ning Juan was a little strange tonight, but Lu Qing didn't look at him. He needed to take a moment to sort out his chaotic thoughts, and repeated, "Go out."

Ning Juan stared at him for a while, his dark pupils filled with some emotion, finally nodded, put down the medicine bowl, and backed out.

Chang Shun was guarding the door, and when he saw Ning Juan coming out, he stooped to close the door, and peeked in. Seeing Lu Qingze's disheveled clothes and disheveled hair, his scalp became numb, his eyebrows were pleasing to the eye, and he didn't dare to look more.

Ning Juan walked into the yard, showing no signs of happiness or anger: "Go and call Chen Xiaodao over."

Chen Xiaodao was someone close to Lu Qingze, and Ning Juan didn't do anything to him.

Although he didn't want to admit it, if he dared to touch Chen Xiaodao, Lu Qing probably wouldn't give him a good face in his life.

So Chen Xiaodao was just detained.

He was locked in the room and didn't know what happened to Lu Qingze. He turned around in a hurry. After being summoned, he ran back to the side hall and saw Ning Juan's tall and straight figure. Nervously want to kneel.

Ning Juan was impatient and waved his sleeves: "Go in and take care of the teacher."

Chen Xiaodao couldn't wait for it, so he sneaked in.

Chang Shun couldn't figure out what was going on now, he only knew that His Majesty was about to go crazy when he came back.

You can't really use your strength against Mr. Lu, can you?

When his words reached his lips, Ning Juan, who closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, opened his eyes and said again: "Let Xu Shu take a look."

Chang Shun swallowed back the words: "Yes."

As soon as the Changshun people left, Zheng Yao came again: "Your Majesty, according to your instructions, Duan Lingguang has been released."

Ning Juan raised his thin eyelids: "Sentenced?"

"Before it was too late, he threatened him and said nothing." Zheng Yao scratched his head, "Wei Chen sent people to find Mr. Lu's former neighbors and the people near Duan's mansion. They all said that they didn't know Lu My lord knows Duan Lingguang."

Ning Juan crushed a handful of lotus flowers expressionlessly: "Check again, and find out everything in Duan Lingguang's life, from big to small."

Others don't know, but he knows very well that with Lu Qingze's temperament, it is impossible to get so close to someone he just met, and even have a good chat on his painting boat.

Just now he had someone cheat on Chen Xiaodao. Chen Xiaodao was very alert. Although he didn't ask anything, he still had some flaws. When he heard Duan Lingguang's name, his expression changed differently.

Lu Qing sneaked out to meet Duan Lingguang privately.

What's so special about Duan Lingguang?

He couldn't use those tough methods on Lu Qingze, so he turned Duan Lingguang upside down.

You can always discover the secrets that Lu Qing avoids.

Whether it was out of selfish jealousy or something else, he had to find out.

Zheng Yao hadn't seen Ning Juan get so angry for a long time, she silently prayed twice for Lu Qingze, and retreated.

In the room next door, Lu Qing finished the medicine with the help of Chen Xiaodao.

After a while, Xu Shu, who was dug up from the bed in the middle of the night, opened the door and entered the room with an unkind expression, as if he had entered a no-man's land, he took Lu Qingze's hand unceremoniously, took his pulse, and diagnosed him. After a while, he observed his complexion again, and reprimanded him angrily: "If you are not in good health, stop tossing. You don't mind tossing, and I will do it."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Lu Qing to speak, he left the room again, went out and said to Ning Juan who was guarding in the courtyard: "I was short of breath and caught cold again. It's nothing serious. Follow the current prescription and drink again." The medicine will be fine in two days."

As he said that, he yawned and couldn't help gossiping: "Mr. Lu is normally stable, and his mood is the most stable. What did His Majesty do to make him so angry?"

Ning Juan was speechless for a moment.

If it weren't for Lu Qing to get angry at him first, he wouldn't have made Lu Qing so angry.

Angry and distressed at the same time, the fire has nowhere to go.

Seeing that he was sullen and didn't answer, Xu Shu couldn't help but rolled his eyes, yawned and went back to sleep.

Lu Qing drank the medicine and relaxed for a while. His body and mind calmed down a little, and he regained some strength. He leaned on the pillow and looked at Chen Xiaodao: "Is there any injury?"

Chen Xiaodao shook his head: "No, I was just locked in the room for a while."

Lu Qing exhaled lightly: "I'm sorry, I've troubled you, and I don't know what happened to Duan Lingguang."

"What's the matter, what's involved or not." Chen Xiaodao comforted after hearing the second half of the sentence, "Mr. Duan is fine, and he has not been sentenced. Don't worry, Mr. Duan."

Just now when he saw Lu Qingze's forehead was covered with sweat, when he went to soak the handkerchief by the basin, he heard Zheng Yao's reply in the yard.

But he didn't dare to listen too much, for fear of being found out.

His Majesty looks really scary tonight, not the same as the last time when Lu Qing was suspected of being infected with the epidemic, it is a different kind of horror.

The headache was no longer so painful, Lu Qing frowned and said in a low voice, "That's good... I was too blindly confident. I used to think that I knew His Majesty very well, but I just found out today that I don't know that much. .”

In the past, he thought that Ning Juan was just left-handed, but today's Ning Juan gave him a very strange aggressiveness.

As if it would tear and bite him.

Chen Xiaodao didn't know what happened. Seeing his low expression, he scratched his head and said, "My lord, don't think that way. Your Majesty cares about you very much. He is still guarding outside the door. There are many mosquitoes in the yard. What should I do instead?" I'm not necessarily happy to be there."

Lu Qing smiled hoarsely, followed his words and looked towards the door.

A lantern was lit outside, and the light and shadow were shaken by the evening wind.

The boy's silhouette was vaguely reflected on the door, and the shadow was moving.

If you don't call him in tonight, I'm afraid His Majesty the Emperor will really spend the night feeding mosquitoes outside.

He stared at the shadow for a long time, then sighed silently: "Go and call Your Majesty in."

He was indeed wrong today.

It is obvious that he has been teaching and reminding Ning Juan of what he should have as an emperor, what he should do, and he is constantly warning himself, don't be vain, don't pretend to be the emperor's teacher, and do anything that tries to change Ning Juan's will , but still inadvertently challenged the majesty of the emperor.

It's normal for Ning Juan to be angry.

Rather, Ning Juan's reaction was the reaction an emperor should have.

It's just that the way he punishes him is a little weird.

He was angry like that just now, and it was only because of the aggressiveness hidden in the darkness, and the almost humiliating questioning.

If it weren't for his concern about his body, I don't know what Ning Juan would continue to do.

The words Duan Lingguang said tonight could not help flashing through his mind.

He thought wildly for a while, then heard a creak, Chen Xiaodao exited the room, and then familiar footsteps approached.

Lu Qing raised his head.

However, the young emperor squatted down. Unlike the previous aggressive, he changed from a vicious wolf to a docile puppy. He was obedient and submissive. He gently held his hand, lowered his head and rubbed it, and said in a low voice: " Teacher, I'm sorry, don't be angry with me, okay?"

No matter how complicated Lu Qing's heart was, he was mostly calmed down by this sound.

He couldn't help stroking Ning Juan's soft hair, staring at him, thinking of the kiss that fell to the corner of his eyes, he hesitated: "Guoguo, are you... are you drunk tonight?"

Ning Juan paused, smiled at him, and nodded: "Well, I'm drunk."

The author has something to say:

Lu Qingze: I noticed something was wrong, but I didn't fully discover it.

Ning Guoguo gradually developed the sick beauty XP
