Raising Wolves

On the day of Chongyang Festival, on the way of ascending to sacrifice, Wei Herong's remnants of the party intended to plot rebellion, and ambushed hundreds of people on the mountain ahead of time. Unexpectedly, His Majesty the Emperor had expected that all the rebels would be captured on the spot, and the leader of the Ministry of War, Cui Jin, was killed. He was killed on the spot, and the rest of them were handed over to Beizhen Fusi.

In addition, Fan Wei and others who hijacked Taifu Lu, except for Fan Wei who blocked Lu Qing with a poisoned arrow, the rest were all taken back to the capital.

But Lu Qing didn't have the energy to listen to these.

Before returning to the capital, he passed out.

Fan Wei threw him on the wet and cold ground, which aggravated the wind and cold. Even though he took medicine to relieve the headache, on the way back, Lu Qing's whole body was scalded like a stone thrown into the fire, as if he would die in the next moment. It exploded due to the excessive heat, but fortunately Xu Shu was called to accompany him, and gave Lu Qingze another injection in time.

When he returned to the palace, it was already dark, and Lu Qingze's consciousness was completely blurred. Sometimes he said vaguely that it was cold, and then he felt too hot and wanted to get out of the quilt.

Ning Juan could only wrap him in a quilt and hug him tightly to keep him from getting cold.

The curtain of the bed was hanging low, Zheng Yao knelt on the ground, and came to report to Fan Wei's remnants who had been captured. He vaguely saw the scene inside, and his eyelids couldn't stop twitching wildly.

When going down the mountain, Lu Qing was carried away by His Majesty.

He took a sneak peek at that time, but he didn't think there was a problem. After all, Master Lu was semi-conscious, and His Majesty would definitely not allow others to carry Master Lu down the mountain.

But now that they are all back in the palace, His Majesty is still hugging Mr. Lu on the bed, isn't that a bit...

Lu Qingze's face flashed in Zheng Yao's mind, and his eyelids twitched even more.

isn't it?

Ning Juan didn't seem to think there was any problem. He listened to Zheng Yao's report without changing his face, and responded coldly: "Take Qin Yuan'an to Beizhen Fusi to be imprisoned first, and the rest..."

Two cold words came from behind the bed curtain: "Capital punishment."

He will not let anyone who dares to hurt Lu Qingze go.

Zheng Yao wanted to speak but stopped, and finally kowtowed silently and retreated.

The surroundings became quiet, only the slightly heavy breathing of the person in his arms.

Ning Juan smoothed his brows that were frowning due to the high fever with his fingertips, and kissed the tear mole at the corner of his eyes pitifully: "It's okay, teacher."

"I listen to you, get well soon."

Lu Qing was in a coma for two days, and finally woke up in a series of bizarre nightmares.

He opened his eyes and stared for a while, and after his consciousness slowly returned, Lu Qing glanced at the surrounding layout, and knew where it was, and he was not surprised at all.

Ning Juan's bedroom.

The cub has been like this since he was a child, no matter what it is, he always has to put it in his nest and watch it at ease.

Although it’s not yet winter, the earth dragon has already burned ahead of time, and it’s warm. Changshun is standing by the bed, dozing off with his chin on his hands, his hand slipped, and his chin slammed on the back of the chair, excruciatingly painful. Ouch, when I found that Lu Qing opened his eyes and rubbed his chin, he was overjoyed: "Master Lu, you really scared our family to death. When His Majesty brought you back, you burned all over... Are you hungry? Let's go home The kitchen is called lunch, oh, I have to report to His Majesty!"

Seeing that Chang Shun was jumping up to get busy, Lu Qing pressed his forehead, his voice seemed to be ground by gravel, and his voice was low and hoarse: "Where is Your Majesty?"

Chang Shun hurriedly explained to Ning Juan: "His Majesty will stay by your side whenever he has time, but the previous court is too busy with affairs, so he left two quarters of an hour ago."

The Guard Party had just been abolished, and Ning Juan was now in power. He was dozens of times more busy than when he was in Jiangyou, so he really couldn't be by Lu Qingze's side all the time.

On the contrary, Lu Qing felt relieved, coughed muffledly, sat up slowly, and waved his hands wearily: "There is no need to report to His Majesty, just bring something light, and I will go home after eating."

Chang Shun's heart skipped a beat, and he forced a smile: "You haven't recovered yet, you should rest and recuperate in the palace for a few more days, you look sick, His Majesty is going to worry about food and drink again."

Changshun, you are very good at sharing Ning Juan's worries.

Lu Qing glanced at him, and said indifferently: "I can't afford to be your majesty's tea and don't think about food, go."

Chang Shun's scalp was numb, he didn't like to disobey Lu Qingze, but he didn't dare disobey Ning Juan even more, he agreed with a smile, grabbed his little apprentice as soon as he went out, and asked him to run errands to report to His Majesty.

When Lu Qing finished his porridge, held the thick black bitter medicine that Changshun brought, and was thinking aimlessly whether he could suggest Xu Shu to make more pills, Ning Juan came back.

The young emperor was still wearing a rather formal black suit, and his whole body was covered with a bit of chill from the outside.

Or maybe it was emanating from himself.

Lu Qing didn't wonder why Ning Juan came back so quickly, and sighed in his heart: Couldn't there be a development that surprised him?

Ning Juan's handsome face was tense, and he looked a little stern. When he came in, he took a closer look at Lu Qingze's face, then reached out and touched his forehead, his face softened: "It's better than yesterday."

Lu Qing let him work, bowed his head and drank the medicine.

Ning Juan didn't speak, just stood by the bed and waited for him to drink the medicine, saw his snow-white Adam's apple rolling a few times clearly, his eyes dimmed, and for a moment, a pity thought came to him involuntarily: How could he be so obedient to take the medicine? Did you drink the medicine?

If Lu Qing thinks the medicine is bitter and is unwilling to drink the medicine obediently, he can feed Lu Qingze the medicine.

Not when Lu Qingze was unconscious, but when he was awake.

When those beautiful light-colored eyes widened in surprise, they should also be very beautiful.

Secret and dark thoughts swelled silently, and just a little reverie made the blood boil.

Ning Juan rubbed his fingertips and exhaled lightly.

After Lu Qing finished drinking the medicine, Ning Juan sat down and saw that his face was still sick and his lips were very pale. When he came back angrily and wanted to ask, he couldn't help softening his mouth: "Mr. Are you out of the palace?"

Lu Qing put down the medicine bowl, and said slowly: "Guoguo, the most important place in the harem, outsiders shouldn't live there forever."

Ning Juan retorted without thinking: "The teacher is not an outsider."

"I'm glad you think so." Lu Qing just woke up and had no sense of taste. He was so bitter that the root of his tongue was numb, so he could only squeeze a candied fruit in his mouth. It was rare for him to speak clearly, "But I don't want Fan Wei If that kind of misunderstanding reappears, it will affect your reputation. You are the emperor, and your words and deeds will be recorded in the book."

Ning Juan's jaw line was tense, and he wanted to pour out what was in his heart, but tried his best to restrain himself: "I don't care."

Lu Qing said lightly: "You don't need to care, but I do. Guoguo, this kind of gossip, whether it affects you or me, is not good."

Seeing that Ning Juan fell silent for a moment, and his face began to look a little ugly, Lu Qing decided to speak a little more: "If I meet a girl I like in the future, it's not easy to explain to her."

Changshun: "..."

Changshun held his breath, silently turned his back, faced the wall, and regarded himself as air.

Ning Juan stared at Lu Qingze expressionlessly.

It's clear that the breath is like honey, but how did Lu Qing use such soft lips to say such knife-like words?

Perhaps it was because the high fever subsided, but Lu Qingze's face was pale.

After two days of coma, I lost a little more.

These are restraining Ning Juan's emotions.

Lu Qing looked straight into his eyes without dodging, and his lips moved again.

Ning Juan's temples were throbbing, and he felt that if Lu Qingze said something more that he didn't like, he might really be unable to contain his emotions anymore. Before Lu Qingze's words came out, he got up, shook his sleeves, and strode away Sleeping hall.

Only then did Chang Shun carefully release himself from facing the wall, poked his head over, saw Lu Qing was facing Ning Juan's anger, and was still sitting there calmly, eating another candied fruit, couldn't help but said with a bitter face: " Lord Lu, please don't make His Majesty angry..."

Lu Qing found it interesting, and looked at him with a smile: "Did I say something very annoying?"

Chang Shun was speechless.

According to common sense, it is nothing, but Your Majesty is different!

Your Majesty's thoughts are getting harder and harder to hide, did Lord Lu really not notice?

Although it doesn't sound good to say it, but His Majesty just wants Mr. Lu, who can stop him?

Lu Qing choked on Changshun, swallowed the candied fruit, felt that his mouth was not so bitter, lifted the quilt, and sat up slowly: "Changshun, please bring me some clothes."

When he was in the carriage before, Lu Qing thought for a long time before passing out.

He has been with Ning Juan for many years, and Ning Juan has too few contacts, so he is overly dependent on him.

Now that Ning Juan has cleared away the obstacles in the court and truly stood on the pinnacle of power, he no longer needs to rely on anyone.

Standing in a place where the cold is too high, Ning Juan will understand that the teacher can only educate and guide him, but not the one who will accompany him to the end.

Before that, he'd better not get too close to Ning Juan.

After eating porridge and drinking medicine, Lu Qing regained some strength, changed into the clothes Changshun sent, and wanted to leave the palace and return home.

The autumn wind was cold outside, and seeing Lu Qingze was still coughing lightly, Changshun couldn't help it, so he held down Lu Qingze, ran to Ning Juan, and told the news that Lu Qingze was going to leave the palace.

After the voice fell, the room was filled with silence and oppression for a moment, making it difficult to breathe.

After a while, Ning Juan closed his eyes and said coldly, "Send him back."

Chang Shun didn't expect such a response from His Majesty, he was dumbfounded, and didn't dare to ask, he bowed his head in response, and then withdrew.

Ning Juan walked to the window and watched Lu Qing from the gap being helped out of the house by Chang Shun. He seemed to have noticed his gaze, paused for a moment, and without looking back, went straight into the densely-covered carriage .

Looking at the thin figure that disappeared behind the car curtain, Ning Juan gritted his teeth.

Obviously found out, obviously knows everything.

Lu Qing would not think that he had an illusion of attachment to him.

Before Jiang You and his party, he really couldn't tell what that feeling was, and he was tormented all day long, terrified by every contact of Lu Qingze.

But he already understood.

He is clear and knows what he wants.

Ning Juan thought indifferently, Lu Huaixue, I will give you a little more time to think clearly.

Lu Qing was not well at first, and after returning to Lu Mansion, he was ill for half a month.

For more than half a month, there were people taken away by Jin Yiwei every day. When they went to the morning court, most of the space below was empty.

Now there are only two cabinet ministers left in the cabinet, and there are vacancies in each hall. Everyone has a faint guess in their hearts.

There must be Lu Qingze among them, right?

Lu Qing is now also the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the Imperial College Jijiu.

The Ministry of Officials is where officials are promoted, and officials have to look at their faces. Many students in the Imperial College can become officials without taking the imperial examination. Naturally, countless people sharpen their heads and want to squeeze in. It is not an exaggeration to say that the authority is monstrous.

Even when Wei Herong was most powerful, he was not as amazing as his current power.

Being in a high position is also at the cusp of the storm, naturally countless people discuss it.

But what was unexpected was that His Majesty didn't seem to have the intention of letting someone fill the vacancy for the time being, and even Lu Qingze, whom he respected and trusted, was not selected.

In addition, Lu Qing couldn't afford to be ill for many days, and His Majesty did not visit Lu's mansion in person like before, but asked people to send some rewards to Lu's mansion from time to time.

Everyone couldn't help trying to figure out the meaning of the Holy Spirit, wondering if there was some conflict between the teacher and the student who had always been in harmony with each other?

It's okay for ordinary teachers and students to have conflicts, but this student is His Majesty the Emperor.

After pulling down the fate of the emperors of all dynasties, everyone didn't know whether to curry favor with Lu Qingze, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

Lu Qing supported his sick body and brought up his young majesty with one hand. Now his majesty acts neatly and ruthlessly, and his thoughts are so hard to fathom, which is actually quite respectable.

It would be sad if he also ended up like that.

Although many people pondered the holy will and did not dare to act, many people chose to praise it first. Lu Qing did not stop when he was ill. , bring a bunch of presents over here.

Lu Qing was so dizzy that he simply closed the door to see no visitors, which made Chen Xiaodao refuse.

He is in an important position now, so it doesn't matter if he offends a few people, if he really wants to take all the gifts, then that's a big problem.

Except for a few officials who were single-handedly promoted by Zheng Yao and Lu Qingze, Shi Rongfeng came to visit the doctor most openly.

Hearing that Lu Qingze was ill, the general came almost on horseback, but was persuaded by Tang Qinghao to sit in the carriage, and Jiji brought him all the way.

As soon as he arrived at Lu's mansion, he saw that Lu Qing was sick, sitting in a room with a charcoal basin wrapped in a big cloak, holding a small hand stove, Shi Rongfeng was amazed, and laughed: "You boy, why don't you treat me like this?" This dying man is healthy."

The blue veins on Tang Qing's forehead were throbbing: "General! Don't keep saying this word, taboo, taboo!"

Shi Rongfeng didn't care: "What's taboo, isn't this the truth?"

Tang Qing was so angry: "Lord Lu, the general can listen to what you said, please tell me about him!"

It was rare for Lu Qing not to be long-winded. Shi Rongfeng was afraid that Tang Qing would spoil him, and drove him away with a tiger face: "Go down, you are the only one who talks too much."

When there was no one around, Shi Rongfeng looked outside and said meaningfully: "Your Majesty is very worried about your safety."

The entire inner courtyard of the Lu Mansion is guarded by palace guards.

After Fan Wei's incident, Ning Juan quietly dispatched double the number of people.

Lu Qing didn't change his face: "Although the Guards are eliminated, there are still hidden dangers. It is normal for Your Majesty to be more cautious."

This is true, Wei Herong's people have been rooted in the imperial court for many years, and many officials had to make friends with the Wei Party for their future. Under the entanglement of roots, the scope of the network spread out is immeasurable.

What's more, there is such an old and stubborn old Xu Ge.

Although Mr. Xu Ge is old and a little confused, but when he was young, he was also the head of the speech officer, and his peaches and plums were all over the world. Among the courtiers who supported Ning Juan early on, there were also his disciples. Ning Juan could not tolerate his dictating Well, even for the face of those officials, they had to find an irrefutable reason before they could get rid of him.

How can Shi Rongfeng be so easy to fool, he said bluntly: "I see the current wind direction in the capital, it is said that the Guards have fallen, and another Lu Party will emerge."

Lu Qing couldn't help but laugh: "This really upsets me."

"I know you don't have that kind of thought." Shi Rongfeng didn't know what he thought of, and his tone sank, "I never had that kind of thought."

Lu Qing knew that the old man must have remembered the chill of being stabbed in the back by the royal family more than ten years ago, so he listened quietly and did not answer.

Shi Rongfeng withdrew his gaze from looking outside: "When my father and brother went to war, I was left alone in the Duke's Mansion. When the Empress Dowager saw me alone, she was moved with compassion and took me into the palace to be raised. I was excluded by other princes. , It was the late emperor who took the initiative to make friends with me. He was mediocre from a young age, but he had a good temper. He was not like a prince. I grew up with the late emperor. We went to a school, slept in the same bed, and were punished to kneel when we fought. I taught the late emperor how to ride horses. He taught me how to paint, and his relationship is better than a brother."

Lu Qing never imagined that General Shi and Emperor Chong'an still had such a past.

"When the first emperor ascended the throne, the first empress dowager also passed away. At that time, I had been traveling for several years. After hearing the news, I hurried back to Beijing to kneel farewell. The first emperor lifted me from the ground and cried loudly, saying that he would trust me forever Brothers."

Shi Rongfeng's tone was neither complaining nor hating, with a bit of calmness after going through thousands of sails: "Huaixue, I don't deny that His Majesty is talented and talented today, but you have to remember that members of their royal family are born with sick."

Lu Qing fell into silence.

Until now, what he thought about the most was Ning Juan's misplaced feelings for him.

Although I have seriously thought about the words of Duan Lingguang and Wei Herong, one of them is from the perspective of future generations, and the other is a notorious power minister, so they have considered it, but they have never considered it in their hearts.

After all, Ning Juan is the child he watched grow up.

Didn't General Shi have a close relationship with Emperor Chong'an in the past?

Not deep enough?

Lu Qing was silent for a long time, and said in a low voice: "I still... want to see it again."

Shi Rongfeng didn't say much: "Rumors are spreading in Beijing, you just need to pay more attention."

The two chatted secretly in the room for a while, and the guards outside walked around twice.

Mr. Shi has been galloping on the battlefield all his life, and he was extremely keen on such gazes, so he rolled his eyes in annoyance: "Okay, I'll stay with you for a while, and there are so many people watching inside and out. It's really uncomfortable. I'm going back. When you are better, come to the Duke's mansion, go to my place, no one dares to stare at you."

Lu Qing nodded with a wry smile, got up and wanted to see him off, but Shi Rongfeng waved his hand to signal that there was no need, went out and called Tang Qing, and walked away with a steady and airy gait.

Chen Xiaodao poked his head out: "The general seems to be in good spirits, isn't he getting better soon?"

He didn't know Shi Rongfeng's physical condition yet, and thought that Shi Rongfeng was really as healthy as he looked.

Lu Qing didn't know how to explain to Chen Xiaodao for a while, so he smiled helplessly, rubbed his head, and avoided answering: "Have all the documents from the Ministry of Officials and the Imperial College come today?"

Chen Xiaodao sighed: "Here, I have sorted them according to what you said, my lord, so you can look at them later."

Lu Qing clenched his fist to his lips, coughed a few times in a low voice, hummed, and turned to go to the study to deal with official business.

Chen Xiaodao followed behind Lu Qingze like an idiot, muttering: "My lord, why doesn't your majesty come to visit you anymore? It's been half a month, so you shouldn't be so busy? In the past, when you were sick, don't say It's been half a month, even half a day, and His Majesty can't wait, and will come from the palace in the middle of the night... Could it be that you and Your Majesty are quarreling again?"

Lu Qing was read carefully by him all the way, and he glanced at him, sat in the armchair, and raised his pen with his wrist hanging: "What rumors did you hear outside?"

Chen Xiaodao scratched his head and laughed dryly.

He thought he was being too subtle.

Lu Qing lowered his eyelids, flipped through the stack of official documents in front of him, and quickly finished them with a clear voice: "Don't listen to those people's words, hearsay, random speculation, a few words may be true."

Chen Xiaodao shrank his neck to help him grind the ink, and said "um" in embarrassment.

Lu Qingze looked at Chen Xiaodao from the corner of his eye, and thought about it seriously.

When he considered retreating, he naturally couldn't just think about himself. Fortunately, he was alone, and only Chen Xiaodao needed to worry about it.

After thinking for a while, Lu Qing said: "Xiaodao, the general is not in good health, and Lin Xi can't speak, so you often go to Wu Guogong's mansion to accompany them."

Chen Xiaodao has been busy taking care of Lu Qingze recently, and hasn't been to the Duke's Mansion for a long time, so he didn't think much about it, and nodded happily: "Okay."

Lu Qing smiled and continued to deal with official duties.

Duke Wu's mansion is the best choice, even if that brat Ning Juan wanted to catch Chen Xiaodao and go crazy after he left, he wouldn't go crazy to the Duke's mansion.

After finishing the official duties, the night is dark and the autumn night is cold.

Lu Qing rubbed his eyes, put down his pen, and went back to the house to drink medicine and fall asleep.

I don't know why, but recently he has been sleeping very deeply, unlike usual, he is easily disturbed by small sounds, or awakened by nightmares at night, and often wakes up with cold sweat, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Probably because of the good sleep, Lu Qing coughed intermittently for a few days, and the lingering cold for a long time was completely gone.

Ning Juan seemed to have eyes in Lu's residence, and Lu Qingze had been living for just two days, so he called Lu Qingze into the palace to discuss matters, and the reason was very legitimate.

After the turmoil between the government and the opposition, Emperor Chong'an had a lot of illnesses and accumulated evils, and a lot of waste was waiting for prosperity. Lu Qing, as an important minister of the country, naturally had to participate.

We haven't seen each other for nearly a month, but Lu Qing actually misses Ning Juan quite a lot. In the past, he and Ning Juan faced each other almost every day. How could they not see each other for such a long time? If we don't talk about feelings, we can't get used to it.

When he stepped into the South Study Room, he couldn't help but glance at Ning Juan secretly.

Now that the little emperor is in power, he is full of vigor and bright eyes, and even the little gloomyness like a small mushroom growing in the corner of the wall in the past is gone.

It seems that proper distance is still effective.

Lu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and after saluting, sat next to Mr. Feng Ge.

There were some familiar faces in the study room, looking at Lu Qingze with different expressions.

Usually, Lu Qingze and His Majesty didn't have such a relationship, and His Majesty didn't react much when he saw Mrs. Lu.

Could it be that the teachers and students are at odds, as the outside world has said?

This is really, tsk tsk tsk.

Everyone had their own thoughts and offered their words to His Majesty.

Lu Qing's throat was still uncomfortable, and he didn't open his mouth while drinking tea.

Ning Juan endured and endured.

He waited for Lu Qingze for a month, but Lu Qingze has this attitude?

He was still thinking that as long as Lu Qing is willing to succumb, even if he doesn't say those annoying words anymore, he can be given the position of chief assistant. The greater the power and the higher the status, the harder it is to leave easily. There will be more time to grind it out patiently and let Lu Qing accept him.

He won these powers little by little under Lu Qingze's company and teaching, so what about sharing them with Lu Qingze?

But Lu Qing obviously still wouldn't let go.

His Majesty finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said calmly: "Is there nothing Lu Qing wants to say?"

The rest of the ministers "hissed" again in their hearts: My God, His Majesty didn't call Teacher Lu Qingze!

In the past, no matter who came before or after, when His Majesty saw Lu Qingze, he would always call him a teacher affectionately. Even Xu Ge's seniority didn't give him that kind of treatment.

Sure enough, it's a discord!

Today is different from the past, the Guard Party has been eliminated, but Lu Qing is in power, and there is a faint suspicion of regenerating his party feathers. Daqi has experienced the impact of the Eunuch Party and the Guard Party in succession. It is normal for His Majesty to guard against him. Teachers and students are separated. Inevitably.

Everyone sighed in their hearts, and frantically glanced at Lu Qingze to see his reaction.

Lu Qing didn't have any special reaction. Hearing this, he put down the teacup and said in a harmonious voice, "I've been looking through the roster of supervisors in the Imperial College these days, and found some problems."

Then I really expressed my opinions and suggestions on how to build a better system.

Ning Juan saw that he was completely business-like, and was inexplicably annoyed, so he pressed the center of his throbbing eyebrows and listened patiently to him.

Lu Qing didn't mean to be angry and tired on purpose, but proposed reforms sincerely.

Most of the supervisors in Daqi Guozijian are the children of the gentry who are under the influence of the shadows. They go in with ordinary people's livelihood and are quite excluded.

Lu Qing picked out the list of doubtful promotions from the documents of the Ministry of Officials Jingcha, and some of them were sent out by the Imperial College.

After Lu Qing put forward his opinions on recruiting students, before anyone else could speak, Ning Juan nodded decisively: "What Lu Qing said is very true."

Lu Qing proposed to restrict the enrollment of the children of the gentry and increase the difficulty of the assessment. The first point is especially hated.

But after a short time of getting along, all the ministers have already understood very well that His Majesty is one-sided and has a bad temper. If he directly objects now, he may be dragged out.

He could only hold his breath and bear it, and see what else Lu Qing could say.

Lu Qing straightened his back, ignoring the gazes staring at his back, and changed the topic: "And I feel that we can open a female class and recruit some female students."

In this era, it is difficult for women to go to school. Even the official ladies in the capital can only learn characters and read some specific books at home.

Now Lu Qing has the power to change it, so he naturally wants to do his best to change it.

Anyway, he didn't plan to stay in this hated and envied position for long, so why not do what he wanted to do before leaving.

As soon as this remark came out, the other people who were still watching Lu Qingze and His Majesty were excited: "What?!"

"Isn't Master Lu still recovering from his illness?"

Old Xu Ge blew his beard and stared: "Nonsense, the Imperial College has never accepted female disciples, there is no such precedent!"

Lu Qing stood still, and calmly brushed off the tea powder: "Wouldn't it be nice if there is no precedent, and today we will set this precedent."

As soon as this remark came out, it became even more lively.

Ning Juan looked unpredictable, listening to the dispute below, his eyes fell on Lu Qingze.

Contrary to the excited attitude of others, Lu Qing was as graceful and calm as ever, and even took a sip of tea in a hurry, as if the person who was being scolded and strongly opposed was not himself.

The teacher always does.

No matter who they are facing, they always have such a calm and wait-and-see attitude, like a god who lives on the moon and looks down on everything coldly.

He was obsessed with Lu Qingze like this, but he didn't want him to always look at him so calmly and self-confidently, falling into the sea of ​​bitter and bitter love alone.

He lost control when he wanted to see Lu Qing.

I want to stir up ripples in a pool of still water.

Ning Juan looked at Lu Qingze with burning eyes that couldn't be concealed, nothing could be seen on his face, and he tapped his knuckles on the table.

There were two "knock knocks" that were neither light nor heavy, and everyone became quiet and looked over one after another.

Ning Juan looked at Lu Qingze's red lips soaked in tea under his mask, his heart was hot, but his tone was very cold: "Except for Lu Qing, step back."

Your Majesty looked at Lu Qingze with terrifying eyes, and he must give Lu Qingze a good reprimand!

But still save some face for him, after all, it's a teacher-student relationship.

Everyone analyzed in their hearts, gloated at Lu Qingze, and retreated.

The study room was emptied in an instant, and the tide-like noise receded. Lu Qing guessed what they were thinking from the eyes of the others, and raised his eyelids: "Your Majesty left the minister here to reprimand him alone?"

Ning Juan didn't say a word, got up and walked around the table, walked to Lu Qingze's side, and reached out to grab his hand.

Lu Qing didn't expect that the little boy would move his hands and feet directly. He was stunned for a moment, and hid, but didn't dodge. His cold fingers fell into the hot and powerful palms, and he rubbed them slowly a few times.

"The teacher said nonsense, how could I reprimand you." Ning Juan held his hand and stared at him, "The teacher can tell me this kind of change in private. Telling it in front of them will definitely arouse their dissatisfaction."

Lu Qing was rubbed so that his eyelids twitched, and he quickly withdrew his fingers, only mentioning business: "Does your majesty think it's okay?"

Ning Juan pondered his thoughts, and guessed that in Lu Qingze's hometown, women can also go to school with men. After pondering for a while, he nodded and said, "There is no such precedent, but it is not impossible to try."

I didn't expect Ning Juan to talk so easily, but Lu Qing showed a satisfied smile: "It's fine if His Majesty agrees, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."

Ning Juan frowned, his face worried: "Long time no see, the teacher won't even stay and have a meal with me?"

He agreed to Lu Qingze, and also took the initiative to seek peace and concessions!

Lu Qing lightly stepped sideways out of Ning Juan's circle, like a nimble cat, with his hands folded in his sleeves: "It's not very convenient."

When he refused, Lu Qing was ready to provoke Ning Juan again. After all, he is the noble and unparalleled Emperor.

Unexpectedly, Ning Juan just stared at him for a while, then smiled inexplicably: "Then teacher, let's go back first, it's been cold recently, get some rest earlier, don't get sick again."

It seems to be cured?

Thinking about it, Ning Juan gradually understood that those feelings were misplaced and shouldn't exist.

Seeing that Ning Juan no longer loses his temper, Lu Qing felt more relieved, turned around and left the palace briskly back to the mansion, as usual, first went to the study to handle the official affairs of the Ministry of Officials and the Imperial College.

When it was getting late, Chen Xiaodao came to remind him, and Lu Qing put down his pen, took a bath, and prepared to rest.

When he went to take a bath, Chen Xiaodao brought the medicine cooked in the kitchen into the room, and it was just right cold now.

Lu Qing really didn't want to drink much.

He is almost healed, so why is he still drinking.

Drink it every day, people will be marinated.

Glancing at the yellowed and withered potted plants by the window, Lu Qing still had a conscience and insisted on the principle of sustainable development. He only let it share half of the medicine, and squeezed the rest to drink by himself.

Everything went well today, Ning Guoguo seemed to have figured it out a lot, and only took half of the medicine before going to bed.

Lu Qing lay down on the bed, in a happy mood. The medicine seemed to contain sleeping ingredients, and his eyelids became heavy after a while.

But tonight, Lu Qing didn't sleep as peacefully as before.

In the middle of the night, his body had fallen into a deep sleep, but his consciousness was still a little awake, and he vaguely heard a faint sound approaching.

Someone came to the window and was watching him.
