Raising Wolves

It was a very uneventful night.

Although Lu Qing and Ning Juan reached a subtle "reconciliation", the atmosphere between the two is still a bit strange.

No matter how worried Ning Juan was about Lu Qingze, he finally left the room with a step back and forth. He didn't act coquettishly like in the past, and wanted to stay and sleep with him.

I don't know if the experience of being forced to ask was not very pleasant. Lu Qing tossed and turned and had a nightmare all night. When he woke up the next day, he was even more tired and tired. Disappeared cleanly.

Fortunately, Xu Shu's hand rejuvenated, and the prescribed prescription was very useful to drink. The brain that was torn and exploded yesterday no longer hurts, but he is still coughing and his throat is sore.

After waking up for a long time, he stood up with dim eyes and washed up.

Chen Xiaodao was worried that Lu Qing would have a fever in the middle of the night, and he wanted to stay on the couch all the time, but he couldn't hold back and fell asleep in the middle of the night, and he was still sound asleep at the moment.

Hearing the movement, Chen Xiaodao woke up from his sleep, got up, yawned, rubbed his eyes and walked around the screen: "Young master woke up so early, why don't you sleep a little longer... Ah!"

Lu Qing wiped his face and looked at him suspiciously: "What?"

Chen Xiaodao pointed at his chin with a frightened expression: "Master, why is your chin blue?"

Lu Qing was stunned for a moment, and took advantage of the gradually calming water surface to take a closer look, only to realize that his jaw was indeed a little blue.

He had a bad premonition in his heart, lowered his head and rolled up his sleeves, and glanced at his wrist.

Sure enough, it is also a little green.

Chen Xiaodao was shocked, and leaned over to look around Lu Qing: "Did His Majesty beat you last night? Why is Your Majesty doing this!"

"..." Lu Qing was speechless for a moment, "What are you thinking, no."

Ning Juan was furious last night, but he only squeezed him a little harder, and when he felt his pain, he immediately let go.

This body is too delicate, it can leave traces.

The two looked at each other, the door was knocked lightly, and Chang Shun's voice came from outside: "Master Lu is awake? Our family brought you breakfast and medicine."

Chen Xiaodao muttered, "Why is it Changshun", and stomped over to open the door.

Lu Qing's skin was too fair, and the bruise looked particularly shocking. He glanced out, lowered his sleeves, and covered the marks.

The door opened, unexpectedly, only Chang Shun was outside, and Ning Juan, who usually leaned close to him, was not there.

Today's breakfast is the famous "Pianerchuan" in Lin'an Prefecture. The toppings are Daodu vegetables, sliced ​​bamboo shoots and sliced ​​lean meat, which smells delicious.

Chang Shun guessed that he had a bad throat, so he asked the kitchen to cook the noodles until they were soft, and he was busy with other things, asking someone to change the ice basin in the house.

Lu Qing sat down, looked out again, and looked away.

His throat was too sore, and he didn't bother to ask where the kid went.

Chen Xiaodao went outside to wash up, only Changshun was left in the room.

Chang Shun took a peek at Lu Qingze, saw the mark on his jaw, and twitched the corner of his mouth fiercely, and looked at his sickly appearance, feeling very complicated.

Your Majesty usually wants to hold Master Lu in his palm, fearing that he will melt, why was he so rough last night?

It looks like it hasn't been said yet.

But if he said it, Mr. Lu might be so angry that he vomited blood.

Mr. Lu's body still needs to be figured out slowly, the loss outweighs the gain if he is too angry.

Changshun secretly sighed for Ning Juan's matter, and seeing Lu Qing looked out twice, with a quick mind, he guessed what he wanted to ask, and leaned over to fan him attentively: "Governor Li and Chief Minister Jiang You Waiting for a group of people to come to see His Majesty early in the morning, His Majesty could not shirk, so he went out with him to inspect the people's situation, and should come back later."

Lu Qing glanced at him and said hoarsely, "So you are left to watch me?"

Changshun's brow was filled with cold sweat instantly, and he laughed dryly "haha" twice: "How could it be, His Majesty just saw that you were sick again and couldn't stay by your side for the time being, so he asked me to follow you to take care of you."

Lu Qing made a noncommittal "hmm" and managed to eat more than half a bowl of noodles, but couldn't eat any more. After digesting for a while, he frowned again and drank the cold bowl of bitter medicine next to him, with candied fruit in his mouth. Slow down for a while.

Chang Shun was racking his brains on how to open the topic and say something nice for Ning Juan, when Lu Qing stood up and opened his small box.

The small box was made by Lu Qingze with drawings and asked a carpenter to imitate a suitcase. There are also four small wheels, which are very convenient to carry.

In addition to clothes and some homemade modern toiletries, there are some soft gold and silver.

Ning Juan saw that this small box was very interesting, so he asked the craftsman to make a set for himself.

Lu Qing can only rejoice that although this world is somewhat similar to his original world, the history is not the same. Otherwise, after thousands of years, later generations will find that the emperor of Daqi travels with a suitcase, and it will take many hot searches to calm down.

Thinking of this, Lu Qing curled his lips, took out all the money inside, tapped some, turned around and handed it to Chang Shun: "Chang Shun, please help me distribute these to the guards who were punished last night."

Ning Juan punished the dereliction of duty guards, blameless.

But he grew up in a modern society, no matter how careless he is, he can't accept the punishment of beating and killing at every turn, and he doesn't agree with Ning Juan's words. His life, which is likely to burp at any time, is more precious than others.

These people were fined and their salaries deducted because of him, and he felt uneasy if he didn't give any compensation.

Chang Shun didn't expect Lu Qing to do this. He opened his eyes wide and waved his hands again and again: "Oh, that's not acceptable. If Your Majesty knew..."

"So what if you know," Lu Qing said lightly, "Do you think I'm offering bribes?"

Chang Shun choked: "You're being serious, but..." He scratched his ears, not daring to take up the job, knowing that Lu Qing was always open to discussing, "Why don't you talk to Your Majesty when His Majesty comes back?"

Seeing his embarrassment, Lu Qing didn't force him, nor did he respond to Changshun's words.

He dreamed last night that he was pressed down by a mass of black shadows, he couldn't move, and he was too tired to sleep. Before he woke up this morning, he saw Ning Juan's face clearly in the dream.

Little bastard, I never let him go in my dreams.

I don't want to talk to this kid right now.

"Since you can't send money," Lu Qing leaned back on the couch, picked up a cup of hot tea, and took a sip, "Can you explain it to me?"

Changshun raised his vigilance: "You said?"

"Has Your Majesty sent someone to look for Duan Lingguang again?"

Today's errand is obviously very dangerous, Changshun said painfully: "...Why don't you just stop talking about it?"

Lu Qing was a little puzzled.

Why is Duan Lingguang a taboo character?

He just didn't want Ning Juan and Duan Lingguang to have anything to do with each other. Even though Duan Lingguang was not Duan Lingguang in the original book, he promised him that he would not follow the route in the original book.

But with this little brat's madness last night, if he did something to force Duan Lingguang to follow the original plot, wouldn't it be in the dark, and he was in harmony with God's will again?

Chen Xiaodao also sneaked into the room at some point, lying on the back of the chair next to him and listening for a long time, he couldn't help interjecting: "Shun'er, did Mr. Zheng ask Mr. Duan last night? Didn't he just An ordinary dude? Why does His Majesty care so much..."

Changshun, one head and two older, almost wanted to escape from this room.

What else could be the reason?

His Majesty thought that Mr. Lu and that Mr. Duan were jealous in a private meeting late at night... How dare he say it!

His Majesty didn't even dare to tell Lord Lu what he was thinking directly. If he did, Lu Qing would be so angry that his head would be in danger.

Chang Shun waved his hand in fear, "Lord Lu, if you feel sorry for the little one, just, don't ask these things." After a pause, he reminded in a low voice, "It's best not to ask His Majesty either."

Lu Qingze: "Then you just have to say something back to me."

Changshun Yusheng took out a small handkerchief to wipe his tears: "You say."

"Is Duan Lingguang alright?"

My God, why does Mr. Lu care so much about Mr. Duan?

Could it be true?

Chang Shun tried his best to speak for Ning Juan: "Don't worry, when you left yesterday, Mr. Duan's clothes were just a little messed up. Mr. Zheng didn't get His Majesty's order, so he didn't dare to use torture indiscriminately. You also know Your Majesty, Your Majesty promises a thousand gold, What I promised you, never came to nothing? I said that I would not hurt Mr. Duan, so I will not touch him again."

Even if His Majesty really had that thought, he didn't dare to move.

Lu Qing lowered his eyelashes.

Even if Duan Lingguang was not hurt last night, he must have been frightened.

It's just that before he stepped out the door, he could sense that there were many more guards guarding outside the house. I'm afraid that every word and deed was under Ning Juan's nose.

If he asked Chen Xiaodao to send an apology letter, then the brat might go crazy again.

There may be some suspicion between him and Ning Juan.

It was unintentionally picked up by him, but it is also difficult to erase, after all, it is such a thing as returning a soul from a dead body...

Lu Qing sighed silently, stopped thinking, asked Chen Xiaodao to find a book, leaned on the couch, and read the book quietly without making a sound.

While Changshun was anxiously staying beside Lu Qingze, Ning Juan met another group of villagers outside.

After the bloody massacre in Jiangyou, the local officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were very honest.

Ning Juan stayed in Jiangsu and Zhejiang for one more day, and the first thing they did after waking up was to make sure that their heads were still there and that they hadn’t moved, so they were very hospitable and invited Ning Juan to visit the villages and show the prosperity and stability of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Look, Your Majesty.

All he had to do was shout: Look, Your Majesty, we are different from Pan Jingmin's team!no the same!

Governor Li is also a guy with twists and turns, but compared to Pan Jingmin, who is full of fat and bent on making money, he is still a bit real, and his team of officials is much better.

At least on the surface, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are well-organized, and the weather is smooth, and the annual tax payment to the treasury is also very important.

The villagers below who were interviewed didn't even need to think about it, it must have been arranged in advance by the people below.

It is estimated that even the words are polished and memorized in advance, which is meaningless.

Ning Juan didn't brush the faces of these local officials, but just cared about Lu Qingze in his heart, and walked through a few cutscenes casually.

Just as this place was about to end, a child suddenly squeezed out from the crowd, looked up at the slender and handsome young emperor, blushed and held up a beautiful lotus flower, wanting to give it to Ning Juan.

The guard next to him wanted to stop the child without even thinking about it, but Ning Juan stretched out his hand to signal him not to move, and took the lotus.

Last night Zheng Yao found the lotus from Duan Lingguang's painting boat, and when he learned that it was left by Lu Qingze, he was so angry that he wanted to shovel all the lotus in the lake.

The teacher should really like this flower.

The officials headed by Li Xun were relieved to see that Ning Juan was not unhappy.

A group of people got into the carriage and walked to the city.

Ning Juan was twirling the lotus and was in a daze. Zheng Yao, who had disappeared for a day, came on a fast horse, reported outside, and then got into the carriage: "Your Majesty, I have found something about Duan Lingguang, which is quite suspicious."

Ning Juan put down the lotus, hummed lightly: "Tell me in detail."

"The Duan family made their fortunes from silk and tea, and they are also one of the most wealthy businessmen in Lin'an Prefecture. Duan Lingguang once had an elder brother who died of illness with his biological mother when he was six years old. Duan Lingguang became taciturn. Two years later, Duan's father succeeded the Ge family , gave birth to a son, favored the youngest son, and Ge's slander, always wanted to kill Duan Lingguang and win the Duan family property for his son, so the relationship between the two was extremely bad."

Zheng Yao finished speaking quickly, paused, and talked about what he was also confused about: "Seven years ago, Duan Lingguang was pushed into the pool, and after being fished out, he was out of breath. The Duan family is preparing for his funeral. Duan Lingguang suddenly came back to life, and after a serious illness, he said that he lost his memory, and his personality has become different from before."

"The relationship between him and his stepmother has become very good on the surface, and he is running his own business in secret. After he was fourteen or five years old, he often went on and off the pleasure boats. It was rumored in Lin'an Mansion that Duan Lingguang was a prodigal son. It is to receive guests from all over the world, which is far from the appearance."

Ning Juan paused for a moment in casually stroking the lotus petals.

He fell into the water without breathing, and suddenly came back to life.

Amnesia after a serious illness.

The change of attitude before and after, the change of personality.

Ning Juan thought over these pieces of information over and over again, lowered his eyelashes, and said in a calm tone: "Are you sure the teacher has never met him?"

Zheng Yao nodded: "After Duan Lingguang fell into the water, he couldn't see the wind. He was ill for a full year. Counting the time, when he was able to get up, Mr. Lu happened to go to Beijing for the exam, and there was no chance to meet him. And the neighbors near Lu's house said , Mr. Lu studied hard in the cold window, very diligent, and also taciturn, he rarely went out, the Lu family's ancestral home is also quite a distance away from the Duan family, even if he went out, it should be difficult to run into."

Listening to Zheng Yao's report, Ning Juan suddenly remembered that on the way to Lu's mansion that day, Lu Qing chatted with him and told some anecdotes about mountain spirits and ghosts.

He never believed in ghosts and gods, but Lu Qing knew it very well, but he still talked about it with him in the carriage.

This is not like the teacher's usual personality.

Not only that, the teacher seems to have a sense of strangeness and alienation towards Lin'an Mansion, unlike growing up in this place, even in the mourning hall of the Lu family, Lu Qingze's attitude is still more than respectful when facing the spirit cards of relatives and parents , unfamiliar attitude.

In other words, his whole person and the world seem to be separated by some invisible layer, floating erratically, like duckweed.

Ning Juan's mood sank.

He suddenly felt that the experience of Lu Qingze and Duan Lingguang seemed a bit similar.

At the end of the year six years ago, Lu Qing uprightly admonished the eunuchs who disrupted the palace and the court, and was imprisoned by the eunuchs who became angry and imprisoned in a water prison.

In the early spring of the next year, Wei Herong, together with Fan Wei, the commander of the Fifth Army Battalion, led troops into the palace. Under the name of Emperor Qing, he killed and captured all the eunuchs in court, and rescued the trapped Emperor Chong'an. After that, Lu Qing was released .

He paid special attention to everything about Lu Qingze, and had read the imperial physician's pulse case.

It was clearly written in the pulse case, but Lu Qing had no pulse at that time.

When the imperial doctors shook their heads and sighed, and were about to ask someone to carry him down, he suddenly took a slight breath again.

That's why his breath lasted, and his teacher survived.

After waking up, Lu Qing kept silent about the past, but no one would ask him about it.

The number one scholar back then was short-lived and had no familiar people, and Lu Qing rarely appeared in front of people, so he didn't know until he came to Lin'an Mansion that Lu Qing in the past turned out to be a "taciturn nerd".

It's not like his ice-cold teacher.

One of the lotus petals was accidentally torn off.

Ning Juan had no emotion on his face, his heart was overwhelmed, and the four big characters that Lu Qingze seemed to say unintentionally popped up in his mind.

"Borrowing a dead body to resurrect the soul".

Although he doesn't believe this, doesn't it make sense in this way?

Lu Qing knew a lot of things that he shouldn't have known, such as how to predict that someone would push him into the pool, the whereabouts of the hairpin left by his mother, and even insisted that Zheng Yao was a trustworthy person when the assassin attacked...

Could it be that Lu Qing is a god in the sky as he had vaguely guessed before?

Or, some lonely soul who came from nowhere.

He and Duan Lingguang chatted together when they first met, perhaps because their situations were similar.

So is this the secret that Lu Qing is hiding and refuses to tell him?

Seeing that Ning Juan hadn't spoken for a while, Zheng Yao couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty? Do you want to continue the investigation?"

Ning Juan suddenly came back to his senses.

His lips moved, and his heart was suddenly filled with anxious anxiety.

These conjectures are very mysterious and bold, but if his conjectures are correct, is the teacher really not from this place?

He didn't care at all which Lu Qingze was, whether he was a god in the sky or a lonely soul in hell.

Lu Qingze is the Lu Qingze who grew up with him.

He just felt that Lu Qingze, who had an invisible barrier between him and the world, was suddenly a little further away from him, and might float away at any time.

"...No need."

Ning Juan squeezed the lotus in his hand tightly, as if he wanted to grab something, and his voice was slightly tense: "Order, go back to Beijing tomorrow, send a few people to stay, watch Duan Lingguang's every move, and report at any time."

Zheng Yao was startled, and swallowed the words that came to his mouth: "Yes!"

I don't know if it's his illusion, how does it feel... Your Majesty is suddenly in a hurry to leave Lin'an Mansion?

Lu Qing stayed at home, read books for a day in the house, and closed his eyes for a while when he was tired.

The scene where Changshun asked to go for a walk did not happen at all, as Changshun had guessed.

Chang Shun grabbed Chen Xiaodao, squatted under the window, and whispered with his two heads together: "Isn't Mr. Lu unhappy watching it?"

Chen Xiaodao rolled his eyes: "Your Majesty let so many people look at you, would you be happy?"

"Presumptuous," Chang Shun glared at him, "You brat, we haven't taught you a lesson yet, yet you dared to help Master Lu run out. With Master Lu's body, if something happens outside, you can afford it." blame?"

Chen Xiaodao suddenly felt a little guilty, he just listened to Lu Qingze's words subconsciously, without thinking too much about whether it would be dangerous.

"Last night, Your Majesty and Lord Lu..." Chang Shun said implicitly, "There was a quarrel, and although Lord Lu didn't show it on the surface, he was still depressed in his heart. He must be angry with His Majesty."

Chen Xiaodao: "I also think, do you think His Majesty is also angry with you?"

Lu Qing turned the pages of the book and glanced at the window.

Although he is a little weak now, these two people don't think he is deaf, do they?

He wasn't angry, he was just reading and pondering what Duan Lingguang said.

He had been thinking lightly before, and had always thought that when Ning Juan really took power, he would resign and retire in peace.

But as Duan Lingguang said, Ning Juan was a good student, but he was also the emperor. He kept telling himself that, but it seemed that there would be cognitive deviations.

In the final analysis, they are teachers and students, but also monarchs and ministers.

Last night he made Ning Juan suspicious and created a rift. If the rift continues to take root, will the reputation of harmony between monarch and minister still exist?

Lu Qing rubbed his forehead, he really didn't expect this kind of thing to happen between him and Ning Juan.

The more I think about it, the more I can't read the book.

Chang Shun outside suddenly jumped up: "Oh, His Majesty seems to be back!"

Chen Xiaodao: "Keep your voice down, don't disturb the young master's reading!"

Lu Qing numbly turned another page of the book.

It seemed that the two outside really thought he was deaf.

One day today is enough to uncover the eight generations of Duan Lingguang's ancestors.

But it shouldn't be able to see anything based on that little thing.

He and Ning Juan didn't reconcile and forgive each other last night, nor did they break up. At most, Ning Juan saw that he was weak and held back his breath, probably still angry.

Lu Qing couldn't read the book at all. Seeing that it was getting dark outside and the kitchen hadn't delivered dinner yet, he leaned back and said to himself: "If you don't deliver the meal, can you stop taking the medicine?"

Chang Shun happened to bring someone to deliver dinner, and when he heard this, he put on a straight face: "Of course not, Master Lu, Doctor Xu said, you have to eat well and drink your medicine well, so that you will recover quickly."

Lu Qing drank the medicine until his mouth became numb, and he didn't feel like eating anything. Coupled with the heat, he lost his appetite even more.

But he was not a naive child, no matter how reluctant he was, he still sighed and got off the couch to eat.

The dishes in the kitchen tonight were very simple, except for a bowl of lotus seed and red bean porridge, there were a few simple side dishes, but as soon as he ate it, he changed his mind. After swallowing it hard, he looked at the porridge in the bowl suspiciously.

Just now he said that there was no taste in his mouth, but he didn't expect to be overwhelmed by such an unpalatable taste right now, what a negligence.

Chang Shun stood nervously by the side, seeing him suddenly stop, swallowed his saliva: "What, what's the matter, Mr. Lu?"

Lu Qing already understood in his heart: "...it's okay."

With a flat face, he ate up the bowl of porridge that was so sweet that it was bitter.

Seeing that he had finished eating, Chang Shun breathed a long sigh of relief, and praised: "Lord Lu has a good appetite tonight!"

Lu Qing glanced at him, put down the bowl, poured a cup of strong tea, and waited to see Changshun's next move.

Sure enough, when the medicine cooled down, Lu Qing poured the medicine, and Chang Shun suddenly clapped his hands again, a little exaggerated: "Oh, my family suddenly thought that there seems to be something interesting outside the palace today, Mr. Lu is in the house It's been a boring day, why don't you go out and have a look?"

Lu Qing thought that it would not be easy to receive a salary, so he nodded, "Okay."

Changshun winked and asked someone to bring a windproof robe, and put it on for Lu Qing.

There was a ladder outside, Chang Shun said nervously: "Master Lu, climb slowly, don't fall."

Lu Qing was amused, and still did not refuse. He climbed the ladder to the eaves of the side hall and sat on the ridge.

He was locked in the house for a day, and he was indeed a little depressed. Now that he climbed up to the roof, he was no longer stared at by people. The cool night breeze was blowing, and it was very comfortable to blow on his face. There is an endless stream of pedestrians on the long street one street away, looking up at the sky full of brilliant stars.

All of a sudden, I felt enlightened, and my mood improved a lot.

At this moment, a sound of "咻" was heard suddenly, and gorgeous fireworks exploded in the sky, colorfully shining, illuminating the entire night sky.

Even in the bustling long street, many people stopped and looked up.

Lu Qingze hugged his knees and looked up at the dazzling fireworks in the sky. Suddenly footsteps came from behind him, and the windproof robe that had fallen off unconsciously was lifted up and put on him again.

He didn't look back, and let others squat beside him silently.

After a long while, Lu Qing was so stared at by that bright gaze that he had to turn his head: "What are you doing?"

Ning Juan lowered his head, like a puppy who has done something wrong: "Apologize to the teacher."

Lu Qingze: "Really? As soon as I ate the bowl of porridge tonight, I thought His Majesty sent someone to give you poison."

Lu Qing's mouth became poisonous occasionally, and Ning Juan's face froze: "...doesn't it taste good?"

When he came back, he got into the kitchen and didn't dare to come to see Lu Qingze when he was done.

Changshun reported back to him that Lu Qing had a good time drinking, and rarely ate a whole bowl, so he dared to lie about the military situation!

Lu Qing didn't move his eyes: "Sit down, how decent it is."

Ning Juan came a little closer and sat beside him, his eyes still glued to him.

Just as he thought, Lu Qingze is Lu Qingze, there is nothing different.

But if Lu Qing really came from another place, will he want to leave one day?

Lu Qing didn't notice it until the fireworks stopped, and then he glanced at Ning Juan.

Not to mention the deep-rooted ancient concept that a gentleman should cook far away from the kitchen, it is indeed shocking for His Majesty the Emperor to cook for him.

He had the illusion that he was being carefully courted by the young His Majesty.

"Teacher, I was wrong." Sensing Lu Qingze's gaze, Ning Juan immediately admitted his mistake without hesitation, "Don't be angry, okay?"

Lu Qing said lightly: "I'm not angry."

He was just thinking about the relationship between Juan and Ning Juan.

Will it return to its original appearance, or go to the monarch and ministers.

Just as he was thinking, his fingertips were suddenly hooked.

Lu Qing froze for a moment, then turned his head.

Ning Juan seemed worried that he would be angry, so he only dared to hook his little finger and said in a low voice: "I heard from Changshun that the teacher wants to compensate those guards. I won't take action against Duan Lingguang, if the teacher doesn't believe me, I can make written evidence..."

Lu Qing raised his eyebrows and interrupted: "There is no need to establish written evidence, just remove the people who are staring at me."

He wanted to see if Ning Juan would be willing to remove the people who watched him.

Is His Majesty's suspicion so easily dispelled?

Unexpectedly, as soon as his words came out, Ning Juan hesitated, but nodded: "But we have to wait until we return to the capital."

Lu Qing fell silent

He could feel Ning Juan's urgency to mend that rift.

At least for now, Ning Juan still regards him as a teacher and treats him wholeheartedly.

Whether it is cooking for him, or preparing such a grand fireworks.

After being quiet for a while, Lu Qing showed his first smile today: "Okay."

His smile was so pretty, Ning Juan tilted his head and looked at him, unable to take his eyes off: "Is the teacher not angry?"

"I've been out of anger for a long time." Lu Qing had no strength, and leaned against him lazily, "I don't have the energy to be angry with your Majesty. Your Majesty still has a puffer fish in his heart right now."

Ning Juan didn't refute this sentence, his eyes fell on the light blue pinch mark on his jaw, he paused, and carefully reached out to touch it: "Does it still hurt?"

The teacher's skin is too easy to leave marks.

Although he knew it shouldn't be, a thought flashed through his mind.

I want Lu Qingze to be covered with his marks.

Lu Qing didn't notice the deepness in Ning Juan's eyes, and shook his head, thinking of the innocent Duan Lingguang, he couldn't help but continued, "Guoguo, holding a powerful person is like holding a sharp knife. You have to learn to use this sharp blade, otherwise you will end up hurting yourself and others. I have been teaching you how to use this knife correctly for so many years."

His gaze fell on the young man who was already taller than him, and he said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, if I hadn't stopped you last night, what would you have done to Duan Lingguang?"

Ning Juan pursed his lips, lowered his eyes, not daring to look at Lu Qing.

According to his mood at the time, if Duan Lingguang didn't speak again, he should let Zheng Yao be tortured.

Lu Qing pinched Ning Juan's chin with two fingers, lifted his chin, let him face himself, and stared into his eyes: "You are the emperor above ten thousand people, and almost everyone's life, death and glory are in your hands." In a moment, so don't be impulsive."

Ning Juan looked at him for a long time, nodded earnestly, and obediently rubbed his fingers: "I see, teacher."

Regardless of their status, the teacher seems to have a kind of compassionate sympathy.

Ning Juan used to be a little confused. He grew up in the cold palace, and he had to guard against the queen's attack on him at any time. He was used to the scenes in the palace where people were not treated as human beings, and his heart was indifferent.

But after guessing Lu Qingze's secret, everything was explained.

But he is willing to move closer to Lu Qingze.

As long as Lu Qing is still by his side.

The author has something to say:

Lu Qingze (didn't know the vest was off): performing ing

Ning Juan (silently took off the vest): cooperate with the performance ing
