Raising Wolves
Chapter 67
The next day, Wei Herong was beheaded, and there were many onlookers.
However, Lu Qing did not go to watch, and leisurely led Chen Xiaodao to Duke Wu's mansion.
In the past, he was healthy and bright, always arguing with Tang Qing outside the yard, and Mr. Shi, who was pulling Lin Xi to make gestures, fell ill.
It would be better to say that he has been sick all the time, but he just didn't show it. Now that the weather is getting colder, Shi Rongfeng's hidden wounds all over his body work together, and he collapses.
Lin Xi's eyes were red, as if he had been crying, while Lu Qing patted his head, asking Chen Xiaodao to comfort Lin Xi, opened the thick windshield curtain, and stepped into the house.
Shi Rongfeng was lying on the bed, his face pale and tight, the old man who was still in good spirits last month seemed to have lost weight several times this month, when he saw Lu Qing coming, he looked left and right: "Did you sneak me some wine? "
Lu Qing was speechless for a while: "General, are you still thinking about that bite?"
Shi Rongfeng lay back down bored, full of dissatisfaction: "I have fought in the battlefield all my life, and now I am going to die in such a useless hospital bed, what's the matter with drinking?"
Lu Qing couldn't help but laugh, and took out a bulging small bottle from his cloak: "Then drink some."
Shi Rongfeng's eyes lit up, he took it and poured it into his mouth, his pupils trembled, and he almost spat out: "What is this!"
"Rice wine is also wine," Lu Qing said with a smile, "It's all made of grain, so why don't you dislike it, it's good to drink it if you have it."
Shi Rongfeng: "..."
Shi Rongfeng chanted, and gulped down the sweet rice wine: "Look at you, you seem to have something on your mind, what's the matter?"
Lu Qingze's smile faded, and he looked outside: "What does the general think of the knife?"
Shi Rongfeng raised his eyebrows, and put away the displeasure on his face: "It's decided?"
Lu Qing narrowed his eyes: "These days, there are many battles between the court and China about me."
At first, Lu Qing didn't care about it, and told his subordinates not to fight with others, but who can stand being scolded every day, especially after Lu Qing handed over a series of new laws that harmed the interests of princes and nobles, someone had already secretly told him Moved to kill.
Lu Qing made friends with Shi Rongfeng, and naturally he also made friends with the military generals in the court, and there were already many people who received his favor, so the court was divided into two factions about his problem, and they quarreled every day. The speech officer had something to say, bluntly saying that the "Lu Party" had begun to take shape, and Lu Qing's heart could be punished.
Now the quarrel is not aimed at Lu Qing, but the confrontation between the new school and the old school.
Lu Qing's living space in the ruling and opposition parties seems to have become very narrow.
Unless Ning Juan dragged all the people out and cut them off for no reason, and used bloody power to kill all voices against Lu Qingze.
But Lu Qing would not allow him to do so.
Shi Rongfeng didn't care about the government for many years, but after returning to Beijing, it was difficult for him not to care, so he listened to Lu Qingze's appearance with sharp eyes: "I don't think you will make up your mind because of these things, why, What is His Majesty doing?"
Lu Qing paused for a moment without saying a word.
If Ning Juan went astray for a while before, they still have a teacher-student relationship, he can try to correct Ning Juan, but after Ning Juan terminated this teacher-student relationship, they are first and foremost monarchs and ministers.
This made him suddenly a little at a loss.
What he raised with his own hands was really not an obedient puppy, but an extremely aggressive wolf.
That predatory sense of urgency made the originally not very strong sense of crisis soar.
But I have to say that he did cultivate a qualified emperor.
If Ning Juan wanted to kill him instead of having other thoughts about him, his mood would not be so complicated.
It's also his fault that he never paid attention to the distance between teachers and students before, and didn't teach Ning Juan the correct view of love. It is obviously too late to wait until Ning Juan grows up to make up lessons.
Seeing that Lu Qing was silent, Shi Rongfeng nodded and did not ask what happened: "If you are going to leave, let Xiao Dao follow Xi Ce. With the name of Duke Wu, no one will dare to bully him."
Lu Qing felt relieved: "Thank you."
"If you know thank you," Shi Rongfeng looked haggard, he lost all energy after talking for a while, and closed his eyes tiredly, "Next time, bring some wine..."
Before he finished speaking, he fell asleep.
Lu Qing exited the room lightly, thinking about how to implement the plan in his mind, when he went out, he saw Chen Xiaodao and Lin Xi sitting on the rockery in the courtyard, gesturing for some reason.
Lu Qing listened closely, and it turned out that Chen Xiaodao was teaching Lin Xi to speak.
"Father," Chen Xiaodao said with a serious face, "you should call me that."
Lin Xi: "..."
Lu Qingze: "..."
Thanks to Shi Rongfeng who fell asleep, if he hears you abetting his son like this, the general will fight to get up and give you a good meal.
Lin Xi could barely make a sound of "ahhh", but it was very vague, let alone speak clearly.
Lu Qing folded his hands, leaned on the pillar and looked at it for a while, before he said: "Xiaodao, the general is sick now, you are staying in the Duke's mansion for a while, teach Lin Xi more."
Chen Xiaodao had no doubts about him: "What about you, my lord? You are most likely to get sick at this time of year."
Lu Qing said: "Aren't I very strong now?"
"..." Chen Xiaodao said, "Then when I'm not around, don't water that potted plant in your house anymore, its roots are going to rot."
Lu Qing has been drinking medicine to recuperate his body recently, and he hummed casually: "Got it, I'll go first."
"Isn't it Xiumu today, son, where are you going?" Chen Xiaodao stretched his neck, thinking that Lu Qing would stay and have dinner together.
Lu Qing waved his hands indifferently, and when he turned around, a corner of his snow-white cloak was lifted by the wind: "Go and fulfill an agreement."
Now that the execution has ended, what he promised must be done.
Early winter is approaching, and it is bleak and cold.
The name Wei Herong has completely become a stroke in the history books.
Because Chen Xiaodao was arranged to come to the Duke's mansion, the Lu mansion became even quieter.
Without Chen Xiaodao who was chattering all day long, the remaining guards arranged by Ning Juan were ruthless and would not say a word except to carry out orders.
Shi Rongfeng guessed the situation, and after thinking about it, he simply asked Tang Qing to bring Lu Qingze to the Duke's mansion from time to time.
Lu Qing and Shi Rongfeng got so close, there was another disturbance inward.
After all, he is General Shi, the god of war who has guarded the border for decades, and most people still don't dare to comment on Shi Rongfeng, but inside and outside the words, there is also a sense that General Shi is ignorant of people and careless in making friends.
Ning Juan has been in a bad mood lately, but seeing these melodies made her even more irritable.
In the past, he was irritable and restless, but Lu Qing could still comfort him. During these days, Lu Qing avoided seeing him, and his anxiety and irritability kept piling up little by little, but Lu Qing went to the Duke of Wu's mansion every three days. He wanted to take advantage of it. It's not okay to take a peek at night.
Lu Qing also put the memorial in the official documents of the official department, telling him not to intervene in the disputes in the court.
This situation, indeed.
The more biased Ning Juan's actions, the more fierce the people who oppose Lu Qingze will be, and the more the officials will feel that they are right to remonstrate, and the matter will intensify.
Those people didn't understand Lu Qingze, so they slandered him like that!
Ning Juan tried his best to suppress his killing intent every day, and when he was reviewing the playbook, he would get angry and walk around twice in order to suppress the anger.
On the other hand, Lu Qing seemed to know what he was thinking, and wrote a memorial every day to warn him.
The killing intent was barely able to be suppressed, but what followed was an inflated and clearer desire to protect.
If he protects Lu Qingze well, these people will not be able to slander him.
But Lu Qing didn't want to accept his protection, and hid in the Duke's mansion.
Ning Juan pursed his lips, and after much thought, he gave an order.
The next day, the imperial order from the palace was sent to the Duke's Mansion. It was said that the Duke's Mansion had been in disrepair for a long time, and it was not convenient for General Shi to recuperate. There was a royal courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing, which was very suitable for the General to recuperate. His Majesty gave the courtyard to the General. Let the general go to another courtyard to recuperate.
When Chang Shun came to announce the decree, Lu Qing was also there, and he was a little surprised when he heard Ning Juan's decree.
Unexpectedly, Ning Juan would choose to move the people around him and drive the general to another courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing.
Although objectively speaking, Shi Rongfeng has not returned to Beijing for many years, the Duke's Mansion is indeed decayed and damaged because it has been unoccupied all year round, and the soldiers have to go to the house every three days to repair the roof, which is somewhat shabby.
But Ning Juan would suddenly send this order, which was obviously related to Lu Qingze.
Shi Rongfeng didn't know what was going on between His Majesty the Emperor and Lu Qingze, but he could guess the real reason for this imperial decree. He raised his eyebrows and wanted to resist the decree.
Lu Qing held down Shi Rongfeng in time, and said in a low voice: "General, the capital is noisy. You will be able to recuperate when you are old, and it will be good for Lin Xi."
Ever since the Duke of Wu's government announced that the young prince had been retrieved and Shi Rongfeng fell ill again, people often came to bother him even if he said he was sick and didn't see anyone.
Except for a small number of those people who really cared about Shi Rongfeng's body, most of the rest were curious about the young prince who had never appeared in front of others, guessing what he was like, and whether he could marry the Duke of Wu.
It is indeed a good thing for Shi Rongfeng and Lin Xi to go to another courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing to recuperate.
Shi Rongfeng was silent for a while, and finally accepted the order.
Lu Qing took advantage of the opportunity to pack Chen Xiaodao and sent him to another hospital.
His Majesty ordered General Shi to go to another courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing to recuperate, which inevitably aroused heated discussions again.
Everyone who is good at trying to figure out the divine will and is proficient in human nature thinks again:
A few days ago, Lu Qingze got so close to the General, and went to the Duke's Mansion to spend the night every three days. His Majesty suddenly issued this imperial decree. Could it be that he was secretly warning the General and Lu Qingze?
This must be a blow to Lu Qingze!
So the officials who opposed Lu Qingze became more energetic, and the court fought very fiercely again.
In such a fiery scolding battle, Fan Xingyan came back from Jiang You.
It was scorching midsummer when the imperial envoys left Beijing, and it was early winter when they returned to Beijing, and it would be snowing in a few days.
On the way back to Beijing, Fan Xingyan heard a lot of rumors about Lu Qingze along the way. He was terrified, suppressed his worries, and advanced to the palace to report the situation after Jiangyou's reconstruction.
The killing before Ning Juan left was very effective. At least after he left, the remaining local officials did not dare to make too many small moves, so everything went smoothly.
After returning to His Majesty, Fan Xingyan hurried back home to see his wife who was seven months pregnant, and apologized and comforted tenderly.
In this way, on the third day back to Beijing, Fan Xingyan was free and went to visit Lu Qingze in the Lu residence.
When Lu Qing heard that Fan Xingyan had returned to Beijing, he guessed that he would come to find him, so he made preparations in advance and waved away the guards.
Although these people will be responsible for monitoring and protecting him, there is still a thin line of distance, and they will not eavesdrop on his conversation with others, which is why Lu Qing can tolerate it a little bit.
When it was getting late, Fan Xingyan came to Lu's mansion with a servant, special products and tonics brought from Jiangyou.
When I arrived at the study, when I saw Lu Qingze, I sighed: "Huaixue, what is this..."
Lu Qing saw that he was frowning, more worried than himself, couldn't help but smiled, and poured him a cup of tea: "It's okay, it's actually expected."
As long as he is in a high position, he will encounter such things, which is why he didn't want to be a minister in power before.
Fan Xingyan was still full of indignation: "I used to be a censor, and everyone worked together to denounce power and traitors, but I never thought that words are like knives, and they will stab loyal ministers!"
Lu Qing comforted him: "I heard that you were going back to Beijing, so I specially brewed chrysanthemum tea and waited. Drink it to lower your anger."
Fan Xingyan: "..."
The boy who came with Fan Xingyan suddenly laughed.
Lu Qingze didn't talk much just now because there were outsiders present. After all, although Fan Xingyan's official position is getting higher and higher, he doesn't have a lot of ostentation. Talk to him and put him next to Fan Xingyan.
Hearing this laughter, he suddenly felt a little familiar. He couldn't help but take a closer look, and was shocked: "Duan Lingguang?"
Duan Lingguang, who was wearing a dusty servant's clothes, raised his head and said with a smile, "Long time no see, fellow countryman. Would you like to pour me a cup of tea too? I'm not very angry, so I don't need to drink chrysanthemum tea."
Lu Qing looked at Fan Xingyan, then at Duan Lingguang, and realized instantly.
It is likely that the rumors from the capital flew to the south of the Yangtze River. Duan Lingguang was worried that he would be beheaded by the little emperor, so he found out that Fan Xingyan was going back to Beijing. Somehow, he persuaded Fan Xingyan to join the imperial envoy and came to the capital together.
Fan Xingyan was even more surprised: "I didn't expect the two of you to really know each other."
Lu Qing smiled and said, "After all, we are fellow villagers."
Duan Lingguang took off his hat, turned his head and looked at Fan Xingyan: "Master Fan, can I talk to Mr. Lu alone?"
Fan Xingyan nodded, still in complicated emotions.
Lu Qing then led Duan Lingguang into the small Nuan Pavilion that was connected to the side of the study. Usually, Lu Qing was too late to deal with official business and was too lazy to go back to his room to sleep, so he slept here.
As soon as he entered the Nuan Pavilion, Duan Lingguang sighed and said, "What did I say? The cunning rabbit is a dead dog, but I didn't expect it to be your turn so quickly."
Lu Qing squeezed his forehead: "That's not the case."
After a pause, he said: "I was in Lin'an before, so I didn't have time to say goodbye to you. I'm sorry, I didn't expect to involve you."
"It's okay, that Commander Zheng didn't torture me." Duan Lingguang pulled up a chair and sat down as if he was at home, "It's you, after being discovered, your little emperor didn't like you, right?"
Lu Qing remembered that chaotic night, fell silent for a while, and chose to skip the topic: "How did you convince Fan Xingyan to take you back to Beijing?"
"The reconstruction of Jiangyou requires a lot of wood and medical food." Duan Lingguang was quite satisfied. "I have been doing business secretly for these years, and the business has a considerable surplus. I contacted Fan Xingyan at a low price and got to know him. He has a lot of love for me. Good impression, I think I am a chivalrous merchant, I heard about you in the capital, and I said that I and you are old acquaintances, but I offended Commander Zheng and wanted to come to Beijing to meet you, so he agreed."
After finishing speaking, he took a sip of the tea that Lu Qingze poured for him, and raised his eyes: "I have to tell you something. After you left Lin'an, I found someone staring at me."
Lu Qing's eyelids twitched: "Your Majesty's person?"
"There is no other possibility." Duan Lingguang said, "Your little emperor's desire for monopoly and control is much more than you imagined, but he probably hides it well in front of you."
The corner of Lu Qing's mouth twitched.
No, he had already begun to feel it.
Seeing his strange silence, Duan Lingguang couldn't help hissing: "No way, has it really changed to Shizun Literature?"
Lu Qingze: "?"
Duan Lingguang looked at his pure but confused eyes, almost couldn't bear to explain to him, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Well, I would venture to ask, do you have anything for your little emperor, other than the teacher-student relationship?" other feelings?"
Lu Qing said numbly: "Do you think I look like a beast?"
Duan Lingguang took out a fan out of nowhere and knocked on the table with a serious face: "Don't run away, speak out."
That is to say, Duan Lingguang came from a different place on the opposite side, otherwise Lu Qing would have let the guards chase him away, and he endured it before saying lightly: "He is my real brother in my heart."
No matter whether he likes men or women, Ning Juan was raised by him alone. In his heart, Ning Juan is almost like his own brother.
If he had other thoughts about Ning Juan, what would he do?
Duan Lingguang saw that he looked a little tired, kindly stopped mentioning this matter, and guessed how His Majesty the Emperor would deal with Lu Qingze.
With the tactics of the tyrant in the original book, if he really liked Lu Qingze, he would probably break Lu Qingze's wings and imprison him.
But if he didn't like Lu Qingze that much, maybe he would take advantage of the situation to get rid of Lu Qingze. He came all the way to inquire about the news, but felt that Lu Qingze's current situation was extremely dangerous.
There was silence in the warm pavilion for a while, Duan Lingguang shook his fan: "You won't just sit and wait for death, what are you going to do?"
Lu Qing hummed: "When the arrangements are made, it's time to leave."
"Is there anything I can do for you?"
Lu Qing said: "It's best not to, since His Majesty has people staring at you, if you do something, it's easy to be implicated again."
"I think it's still possible." Duan Lingguang thought for a while, "I guess the little emperor won't let you go easily. If you leave, you have to remain anonymous and don't bring too many clothes with you. Look at your medicine jar body. How do you live without money?"
He proudly "slapped" the fan: "If you are short of money in the future, you can go to Jubao Bank to say a code word and withdraw it as you like."
Jubao banks are spread all over the south, rich and powerful, and extremely reputable. Even if Lu Qing has been staying in the capital, he has heard of this name, but he did not expect that the boss behind this bank is actually Duan Lingguang.
Lu Qing said with a smile: "It seems that you are much better than me."
"Where did you come from?" Duan Lingguang teased, "You are a civil servant of the imperial court, and now you are an extremely human minister. If you just extend your hand, how many people in Beijing will not rush to curry favor with you? I just saw that the vase in your study is still an antique from several dynasties. , Priceless, not much better than me."
Lu Qing shook his head: "I may really have to borrow your light in the future, thank you in advance."
"You don't need to say thank you, we are from the same village, if you die, I will feel bad."
Duan Lingguang added: "Don't be moved. My time is very precious. I didn't come here specially to talk to you. I have a business to discuss in Jingu, and I will go there tomorrow. After the discussion is over, I will go south by boat. I guess it will be soon." I will return to Lin'an during the New Year, if you make it in time, I can still give you a ride."
Lu Qing thought for a while: "I still need an opportunity."
By the way, before leaving, he wanted to help Ning Juan solve some troubles.
The two agreed on a secret sign, and they didn't continue talking for too long. When they went out, Duan Lingguang put on his servant's hat again, and put away his unrestrained flair. He looked ordinary and could act very well.
After Fan Xingyan drank the chrysanthemum tea, he really felt calmer.
Lu Qing sent the person to the gate and patted Fan Xingyan on the shoulder: "Sister-in-law is about to give birth, you have been away for so long, stay with her well, don't come to me, you are not afraid of gossip, but it is not good to irritate sister-in-law gone."
Speaking of his daughter-in-law, Fan Xingyan smiled and replied: "When the child is born, I will let the child recognize you as a godfather, Huai Xue, you are an upright person, I believe these rumors will pass, and His Majesty will not listen to slander. "
Lu Qing smiled and nodded, sent the person away, stood at the door for a while, coughed a few times, turned and returned to the mansion.
Fan's carriage left, but no one noticed another carriage hidden in the darkness.
Ning Juan looked at Lu Qing with a slight smile from a distance away, and went back after talking with others, pursing his lips.
Chang Shun didn't dare to catch his breath, and seeing Lu Qing turned and left, he still couldn't hold back his words: "Your Majesty, don't you want to go and talk to Mr. Lu?"
In the past few days, His Majesty came every day at night, and the carriage stopped here, watching Lu Qing come back from the official office, but he didn't go there.
What is this awkward?
Ning Juan lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "Teacher is angry."
Lu Qing was not angry because he took Shi Rongfeng away, but because he had affection for him.
He would choose to back down on other things, but not this one.
Chang Shun scratched his head: "Master Lu has never been angry with you for too long, why don't you go coax him?"
Ning Juan didn't say a word.
Changshun racked his brains: "At this time last year, the following people presented an ice sculpture lamp, which is really beautiful. Mr. Lu likes it very much. It is a pity that Mr. Lu will melt after it melts. Why don't you give Mr. Lu another lamp?"
In Changshun's heart, any conflicts and unhappiness can be offset by things he likes.
Ning Juan glanced at him, didn't say yes, didn't say no, then looked at the gate of Lu Mansion for a while, then lowered the curtain: "Go back."
A few days later, the first snow of the year fell in the capital city, and the bustling capital city was covered in plain white.
Lu Qing was summoned by the palace after a long absence, asking him to enter the palace to face the saint.
The two had been in a cold war for a long time, and the communication was all through the air. Either Lu Qing handed over the notebook, or Chang Shun came to the mansion to give the reward, as if separated by a thin layer of ice, before either party took any action. , this layer of ice has existed for a long time.
Unexpectedly, Ning Juan would take the initiative to break through.
Lu Qing couldn't figure out what Ning Juan wanted to do for a while, after thinking about it again and again, he still wrapped himself in a thick fox fur, and sat on the sedan chair that came to pick him up with a hand stove in his arms.
Unexpectedly, this time the sedan chair did not go to the Qianqing Palace, but to another place.
It was getting dark, but Lu Qing opened the curtain, couldn't see the road outside, and was a little confused, so he went to the place.
The one who came to invite him was Changshun's disciple An Ping, who bowed his waist respectfully and asked Lu Qing to get off the sedan chair, and said with a smile, "Master Lu, please come in, Your Majesty is waiting for you inside."
Only then did Lu Qing see clearly what this place was, swallowed his doubts, and walked into the palace in front of him.
This is the plum garden in the palace. The cold winter has come, the red plums are in full bloom, and the plums are fragrant in the snow. In previous years, when the plum blossoms bloomed, Lu Qing and Ning Juan would come to enjoy the plum blossoms.
But this year is different.
I don’t know when many ice lanterns were hung on the plum trees. In the crystal clear ice lanterns, the candlelight flickered faintly. When it came, it snowed again. It was really beautiful against the cold plum trees in the courtyard.
Lu Qing blinked, stared at the transparent lamps swaying in the wind, reached out to lift one, and took a closer look. The ice lamps were extraordinarily delicately carved, and there were faintly two figures on it.
Before he could see clearly, a familiar voice from the boy came from behind: "Does Huai Xue like it?"
Lu Qing paused for a moment, turned around, and leaned over to salute: "I have seen Your Majesty."
Before he could bend down, he was helped up, and Ning Juan's voice, which was still slightly smiling just now, suddenly became angry: "Do you have to be so angry at me?"
Lu Qing was puzzled, it was clearly Ning Juan who erased the friendship between teachers and students himself, why is he wronged again now?
His eyes were lowered, and he noticed that Ning Juan's hand holding him was a little red and swollen, and it was wrapped in a cloth, as if injured, so he frowned.
Even though the relationship with Ning Juan is very awkward now, Lu Qing still couldn't hold back his habitual concern: "What's wrong with His Majesty's hand?"
There has been little communication between the two of them recently, and Lu Qing talked to him mostly in a business-like manner. After receiving a rare greeting, Ning Juan became happy again, and stared at him with burning eyes: "I didn't notice when I was carving the ice lamp. Yes, it still hurts now, does Huai Xue love me?"
The ice lanterns in the yard were carved by Ning Juan?
The dignified Son of Heaven is actually willing to do this kind of thing just to please another person.
Lu Qing was stunned for a moment, as if he had been burned, Huo then took a big step back, not noticing that his hand was loosened, the ice lamp slipped, and fell to the ground.
It was originally made of ice, and there were candles inside. The ground was extremely hard in winter, and the ice lamp fell to the ground and shattered.
There are also cracks in the two figures above.
Ning Juan's expression suddenly changed.
Only then did Lu Qing realize that the sculptures on it seemed to be him and Ning Juan.
Ning Juan stared at the ice lamp, his face darkening.
He had been trying his best to endure these days, and he didn't want to push Lu Qingze too hard. He wanted to please Lu Qingze and show his heart.
But Lu Qing broke his heart.
Lu Qing wanted to explain, but he opened his mouth, but didn't know how to explain.
He was a little confused.
He had been trying his best to convince himself that Ning Juan had just had an illusion about him.
But it's just an illusion, why do this.
Could it be that Ning Juan is serious...
Lu Qing was stimulated by that possibility, and couldn't help but took another step back.
Ning Juan only felt that his heart was broken like a lamp on the ground.
But under Lu Qingze's teaching, he had learned to hide his fragility. He stared at Lu Qingze for a moment, then turned and left without expression.
He obviously didn't want Lu Qing to suffer, but Lu Qing wanted to make trouble for himself.
Then don't blame him.
The back of the young emperor disappeared at the gate of the courtyard, leaving Lu Qingze and a courtyard of ice lanterns swaying in the wind.
Lu Qing looked down, and saw that the ice lamp on the ground was broken into many pieces, and lost its crystal beauty when it was complete. It looked ordinary, just a few pieces of broken ice.
No one knew that this was the ice lantern carved by His Majesty the Emperor himself in order to please others.
Not only Ning Juan's heart was shattered, but also Tian Huang's pride and self-esteem that was constantly rejected.
Lu Qing sighed silently, Duan Lingguang's question flashed in his mind, his eyelashes trembled, he hesitated for a while, then bent down, hugged the broken ice lantern with his cloak, and walked out of the yard slowly.
He can't bear such a heart.
Even if Ning Juan doesn't want to admit it, they are also teachers and students, such a relationship is immoral and shouldn't exist.
Today he hurt Ning Juan's heart, and according to his familiarity with Ning Juan, this little brat won't keep his hand anymore.
He had to finish the last step quickly and leave as soon as possible.
The author has something to say:
Lu Qingze: Do you think I look like a beast?
Ning Guoguo: I do!
Lu Qingze:?
However, Lu Qing did not go to watch, and leisurely led Chen Xiaodao to Duke Wu's mansion.
In the past, he was healthy and bright, always arguing with Tang Qing outside the yard, and Mr. Shi, who was pulling Lin Xi to make gestures, fell ill.
It would be better to say that he has been sick all the time, but he just didn't show it. Now that the weather is getting colder, Shi Rongfeng's hidden wounds all over his body work together, and he collapses.
Lin Xi's eyes were red, as if he had been crying, while Lu Qing patted his head, asking Chen Xiaodao to comfort Lin Xi, opened the thick windshield curtain, and stepped into the house.
Shi Rongfeng was lying on the bed, his face pale and tight, the old man who was still in good spirits last month seemed to have lost weight several times this month, when he saw Lu Qing coming, he looked left and right: "Did you sneak me some wine? "
Lu Qing was speechless for a while: "General, are you still thinking about that bite?"
Shi Rongfeng lay back down bored, full of dissatisfaction: "I have fought in the battlefield all my life, and now I am going to die in such a useless hospital bed, what's the matter with drinking?"
Lu Qing couldn't help but laugh, and took out a bulging small bottle from his cloak: "Then drink some."
Shi Rongfeng's eyes lit up, he took it and poured it into his mouth, his pupils trembled, and he almost spat out: "What is this!"
"Rice wine is also wine," Lu Qing said with a smile, "It's all made of grain, so why don't you dislike it, it's good to drink it if you have it."
Shi Rongfeng: "..."
Shi Rongfeng chanted, and gulped down the sweet rice wine: "Look at you, you seem to have something on your mind, what's the matter?"
Lu Qingze's smile faded, and he looked outside: "What does the general think of the knife?"
Shi Rongfeng raised his eyebrows, and put away the displeasure on his face: "It's decided?"
Lu Qing narrowed his eyes: "These days, there are many battles between the court and China about me."
At first, Lu Qing didn't care about it, and told his subordinates not to fight with others, but who can stand being scolded every day, especially after Lu Qing handed over a series of new laws that harmed the interests of princes and nobles, someone had already secretly told him Moved to kill.
Lu Qing made friends with Shi Rongfeng, and naturally he also made friends with the military generals in the court, and there were already many people who received his favor, so the court was divided into two factions about his problem, and they quarreled every day. The speech officer had something to say, bluntly saying that the "Lu Party" had begun to take shape, and Lu Qing's heart could be punished.
Now the quarrel is not aimed at Lu Qing, but the confrontation between the new school and the old school.
Lu Qing's living space in the ruling and opposition parties seems to have become very narrow.
Unless Ning Juan dragged all the people out and cut them off for no reason, and used bloody power to kill all voices against Lu Qingze.
But Lu Qing would not allow him to do so.
Shi Rongfeng didn't care about the government for many years, but after returning to Beijing, it was difficult for him not to care, so he listened to Lu Qingze's appearance with sharp eyes: "I don't think you will make up your mind because of these things, why, What is His Majesty doing?"
Lu Qing paused for a moment without saying a word.
If Ning Juan went astray for a while before, they still have a teacher-student relationship, he can try to correct Ning Juan, but after Ning Juan terminated this teacher-student relationship, they are first and foremost monarchs and ministers.
This made him suddenly a little at a loss.
What he raised with his own hands was really not an obedient puppy, but an extremely aggressive wolf.
That predatory sense of urgency made the originally not very strong sense of crisis soar.
But I have to say that he did cultivate a qualified emperor.
If Ning Juan wanted to kill him instead of having other thoughts about him, his mood would not be so complicated.
It's also his fault that he never paid attention to the distance between teachers and students before, and didn't teach Ning Juan the correct view of love. It is obviously too late to wait until Ning Juan grows up to make up lessons.
Seeing that Lu Qing was silent, Shi Rongfeng nodded and did not ask what happened: "If you are going to leave, let Xiao Dao follow Xi Ce. With the name of Duke Wu, no one will dare to bully him."
Lu Qing felt relieved: "Thank you."
"If you know thank you," Shi Rongfeng looked haggard, he lost all energy after talking for a while, and closed his eyes tiredly, "Next time, bring some wine..."
Before he finished speaking, he fell asleep.
Lu Qing exited the room lightly, thinking about how to implement the plan in his mind, when he went out, he saw Chen Xiaodao and Lin Xi sitting on the rockery in the courtyard, gesturing for some reason.
Lu Qing listened closely, and it turned out that Chen Xiaodao was teaching Lin Xi to speak.
"Father," Chen Xiaodao said with a serious face, "you should call me that."
Lin Xi: "..."
Lu Qingze: "..."
Thanks to Shi Rongfeng who fell asleep, if he hears you abetting his son like this, the general will fight to get up and give you a good meal.
Lin Xi could barely make a sound of "ahhh", but it was very vague, let alone speak clearly.
Lu Qing folded his hands, leaned on the pillar and looked at it for a while, before he said: "Xiaodao, the general is sick now, you are staying in the Duke's mansion for a while, teach Lin Xi more."
Chen Xiaodao had no doubts about him: "What about you, my lord? You are most likely to get sick at this time of year."
Lu Qing said: "Aren't I very strong now?"
"..." Chen Xiaodao said, "Then when I'm not around, don't water that potted plant in your house anymore, its roots are going to rot."
Lu Qing has been drinking medicine to recuperate his body recently, and he hummed casually: "Got it, I'll go first."
"Isn't it Xiumu today, son, where are you going?" Chen Xiaodao stretched his neck, thinking that Lu Qing would stay and have dinner together.
Lu Qing waved his hands indifferently, and when he turned around, a corner of his snow-white cloak was lifted by the wind: "Go and fulfill an agreement."
Now that the execution has ended, what he promised must be done.
Early winter is approaching, and it is bleak and cold.
The name Wei Herong has completely become a stroke in the history books.
Because Chen Xiaodao was arranged to come to the Duke's mansion, the Lu mansion became even quieter.
Without Chen Xiaodao who was chattering all day long, the remaining guards arranged by Ning Juan were ruthless and would not say a word except to carry out orders.
Shi Rongfeng guessed the situation, and after thinking about it, he simply asked Tang Qing to bring Lu Qingze to the Duke's mansion from time to time.
Lu Qing and Shi Rongfeng got so close, there was another disturbance inward.
After all, he is General Shi, the god of war who has guarded the border for decades, and most people still don't dare to comment on Shi Rongfeng, but inside and outside the words, there is also a sense that General Shi is ignorant of people and careless in making friends.
Ning Juan has been in a bad mood lately, but seeing these melodies made her even more irritable.
In the past, he was irritable and restless, but Lu Qing could still comfort him. During these days, Lu Qing avoided seeing him, and his anxiety and irritability kept piling up little by little, but Lu Qing went to the Duke of Wu's mansion every three days. He wanted to take advantage of it. It's not okay to take a peek at night.
Lu Qing also put the memorial in the official documents of the official department, telling him not to intervene in the disputes in the court.
This situation, indeed.
The more biased Ning Juan's actions, the more fierce the people who oppose Lu Qingze will be, and the more the officials will feel that they are right to remonstrate, and the matter will intensify.
Those people didn't understand Lu Qingze, so they slandered him like that!
Ning Juan tried his best to suppress his killing intent every day, and when he was reviewing the playbook, he would get angry and walk around twice in order to suppress the anger.
On the other hand, Lu Qing seemed to know what he was thinking, and wrote a memorial every day to warn him.
The killing intent was barely able to be suppressed, but what followed was an inflated and clearer desire to protect.
If he protects Lu Qingze well, these people will not be able to slander him.
But Lu Qing didn't want to accept his protection, and hid in the Duke's mansion.
Ning Juan pursed his lips, and after much thought, he gave an order.
The next day, the imperial order from the palace was sent to the Duke's Mansion. It was said that the Duke's Mansion had been in disrepair for a long time, and it was not convenient for General Shi to recuperate. There was a royal courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing, which was very suitable for the General to recuperate. His Majesty gave the courtyard to the General. Let the general go to another courtyard to recuperate.
When Chang Shun came to announce the decree, Lu Qing was also there, and he was a little surprised when he heard Ning Juan's decree.
Unexpectedly, Ning Juan would choose to move the people around him and drive the general to another courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing.
Although objectively speaking, Shi Rongfeng has not returned to Beijing for many years, the Duke's Mansion is indeed decayed and damaged because it has been unoccupied all year round, and the soldiers have to go to the house every three days to repair the roof, which is somewhat shabby.
But Ning Juan would suddenly send this order, which was obviously related to Lu Qingze.
Shi Rongfeng didn't know what was going on between His Majesty the Emperor and Lu Qingze, but he could guess the real reason for this imperial decree. He raised his eyebrows and wanted to resist the decree.
Lu Qing held down Shi Rongfeng in time, and said in a low voice: "General, the capital is noisy. You will be able to recuperate when you are old, and it will be good for Lin Xi."
Ever since the Duke of Wu's government announced that the young prince had been retrieved and Shi Rongfeng fell ill again, people often came to bother him even if he said he was sick and didn't see anyone.
Except for a small number of those people who really cared about Shi Rongfeng's body, most of the rest were curious about the young prince who had never appeared in front of others, guessing what he was like, and whether he could marry the Duke of Wu.
It is indeed a good thing for Shi Rongfeng and Lin Xi to go to another courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing to recuperate.
Shi Rongfeng was silent for a while, and finally accepted the order.
Lu Qing took advantage of the opportunity to pack Chen Xiaodao and sent him to another hospital.
His Majesty ordered General Shi to go to another courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing to recuperate, which inevitably aroused heated discussions again.
Everyone who is good at trying to figure out the divine will and is proficient in human nature thinks again:
A few days ago, Lu Qingze got so close to the General, and went to the Duke's Mansion to spend the night every three days. His Majesty suddenly issued this imperial decree. Could it be that he was secretly warning the General and Lu Qingze?
This must be a blow to Lu Qingze!
So the officials who opposed Lu Qingze became more energetic, and the court fought very fiercely again.
In such a fiery scolding battle, Fan Xingyan came back from Jiang You.
It was scorching midsummer when the imperial envoys left Beijing, and it was early winter when they returned to Beijing, and it would be snowing in a few days.
On the way back to Beijing, Fan Xingyan heard a lot of rumors about Lu Qingze along the way. He was terrified, suppressed his worries, and advanced to the palace to report the situation after Jiangyou's reconstruction.
The killing before Ning Juan left was very effective. At least after he left, the remaining local officials did not dare to make too many small moves, so everything went smoothly.
After returning to His Majesty, Fan Xingyan hurried back home to see his wife who was seven months pregnant, and apologized and comforted tenderly.
In this way, on the third day back to Beijing, Fan Xingyan was free and went to visit Lu Qingze in the Lu residence.
When Lu Qing heard that Fan Xingyan had returned to Beijing, he guessed that he would come to find him, so he made preparations in advance and waved away the guards.
Although these people will be responsible for monitoring and protecting him, there is still a thin line of distance, and they will not eavesdrop on his conversation with others, which is why Lu Qing can tolerate it a little bit.
When it was getting late, Fan Xingyan came to Lu's mansion with a servant, special products and tonics brought from Jiangyou.
When I arrived at the study, when I saw Lu Qingze, I sighed: "Huaixue, what is this..."
Lu Qing saw that he was frowning, more worried than himself, couldn't help but smiled, and poured him a cup of tea: "It's okay, it's actually expected."
As long as he is in a high position, he will encounter such things, which is why he didn't want to be a minister in power before.
Fan Xingyan was still full of indignation: "I used to be a censor, and everyone worked together to denounce power and traitors, but I never thought that words are like knives, and they will stab loyal ministers!"
Lu Qing comforted him: "I heard that you were going back to Beijing, so I specially brewed chrysanthemum tea and waited. Drink it to lower your anger."
Fan Xingyan: "..."
The boy who came with Fan Xingyan suddenly laughed.
Lu Qingze didn't talk much just now because there were outsiders present. After all, although Fan Xingyan's official position is getting higher and higher, he doesn't have a lot of ostentation. Talk to him and put him next to Fan Xingyan.
Hearing this laughter, he suddenly felt a little familiar. He couldn't help but take a closer look, and was shocked: "Duan Lingguang?"
Duan Lingguang, who was wearing a dusty servant's clothes, raised his head and said with a smile, "Long time no see, fellow countryman. Would you like to pour me a cup of tea too? I'm not very angry, so I don't need to drink chrysanthemum tea."
Lu Qing looked at Fan Xingyan, then at Duan Lingguang, and realized instantly.
It is likely that the rumors from the capital flew to the south of the Yangtze River. Duan Lingguang was worried that he would be beheaded by the little emperor, so he found out that Fan Xingyan was going back to Beijing. Somehow, he persuaded Fan Xingyan to join the imperial envoy and came to the capital together.
Fan Xingyan was even more surprised: "I didn't expect the two of you to really know each other."
Lu Qing smiled and said, "After all, we are fellow villagers."
Duan Lingguang took off his hat, turned his head and looked at Fan Xingyan: "Master Fan, can I talk to Mr. Lu alone?"
Fan Xingyan nodded, still in complicated emotions.
Lu Qing then led Duan Lingguang into the small Nuan Pavilion that was connected to the side of the study. Usually, Lu Qing was too late to deal with official business and was too lazy to go back to his room to sleep, so he slept here.
As soon as he entered the Nuan Pavilion, Duan Lingguang sighed and said, "What did I say? The cunning rabbit is a dead dog, but I didn't expect it to be your turn so quickly."
Lu Qing squeezed his forehead: "That's not the case."
After a pause, he said: "I was in Lin'an before, so I didn't have time to say goodbye to you. I'm sorry, I didn't expect to involve you."
"It's okay, that Commander Zheng didn't torture me." Duan Lingguang pulled up a chair and sat down as if he was at home, "It's you, after being discovered, your little emperor didn't like you, right?"
Lu Qing remembered that chaotic night, fell silent for a while, and chose to skip the topic: "How did you convince Fan Xingyan to take you back to Beijing?"
"The reconstruction of Jiangyou requires a lot of wood and medical food." Duan Lingguang was quite satisfied. "I have been doing business secretly for these years, and the business has a considerable surplus. I contacted Fan Xingyan at a low price and got to know him. He has a lot of love for me. Good impression, I think I am a chivalrous merchant, I heard about you in the capital, and I said that I and you are old acquaintances, but I offended Commander Zheng and wanted to come to Beijing to meet you, so he agreed."
After finishing speaking, he took a sip of the tea that Lu Qingze poured for him, and raised his eyes: "I have to tell you something. After you left Lin'an, I found someone staring at me."
Lu Qing's eyelids twitched: "Your Majesty's person?"
"There is no other possibility." Duan Lingguang said, "Your little emperor's desire for monopoly and control is much more than you imagined, but he probably hides it well in front of you."
The corner of Lu Qing's mouth twitched.
No, he had already begun to feel it.
Seeing his strange silence, Duan Lingguang couldn't help hissing: "No way, has it really changed to Shizun Literature?"
Lu Qingze: "?"
Duan Lingguang looked at his pure but confused eyes, almost couldn't bear to explain to him, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Well, I would venture to ask, do you have anything for your little emperor, other than the teacher-student relationship?" other feelings?"
Lu Qing said numbly: "Do you think I look like a beast?"
Duan Lingguang took out a fan out of nowhere and knocked on the table with a serious face: "Don't run away, speak out."
That is to say, Duan Lingguang came from a different place on the opposite side, otherwise Lu Qing would have let the guards chase him away, and he endured it before saying lightly: "He is my real brother in my heart."
No matter whether he likes men or women, Ning Juan was raised by him alone. In his heart, Ning Juan is almost like his own brother.
If he had other thoughts about Ning Juan, what would he do?
Duan Lingguang saw that he looked a little tired, kindly stopped mentioning this matter, and guessed how His Majesty the Emperor would deal with Lu Qingze.
With the tactics of the tyrant in the original book, if he really liked Lu Qingze, he would probably break Lu Qingze's wings and imprison him.
But if he didn't like Lu Qingze that much, maybe he would take advantage of the situation to get rid of Lu Qingze. He came all the way to inquire about the news, but felt that Lu Qingze's current situation was extremely dangerous.
There was silence in the warm pavilion for a while, Duan Lingguang shook his fan: "You won't just sit and wait for death, what are you going to do?"
Lu Qing hummed: "When the arrangements are made, it's time to leave."
"Is there anything I can do for you?"
Lu Qing said: "It's best not to, since His Majesty has people staring at you, if you do something, it's easy to be implicated again."
"I think it's still possible." Duan Lingguang thought for a while, "I guess the little emperor won't let you go easily. If you leave, you have to remain anonymous and don't bring too many clothes with you. Look at your medicine jar body. How do you live without money?"
He proudly "slapped" the fan: "If you are short of money in the future, you can go to Jubao Bank to say a code word and withdraw it as you like."
Jubao banks are spread all over the south, rich and powerful, and extremely reputable. Even if Lu Qing has been staying in the capital, he has heard of this name, but he did not expect that the boss behind this bank is actually Duan Lingguang.
Lu Qing said with a smile: "It seems that you are much better than me."
"Where did you come from?" Duan Lingguang teased, "You are a civil servant of the imperial court, and now you are an extremely human minister. If you just extend your hand, how many people in Beijing will not rush to curry favor with you? I just saw that the vase in your study is still an antique from several dynasties. , Priceless, not much better than me."
Lu Qing shook his head: "I may really have to borrow your light in the future, thank you in advance."
"You don't need to say thank you, we are from the same village, if you die, I will feel bad."
Duan Lingguang added: "Don't be moved. My time is very precious. I didn't come here specially to talk to you. I have a business to discuss in Jingu, and I will go there tomorrow. After the discussion is over, I will go south by boat. I guess it will be soon." I will return to Lin'an during the New Year, if you make it in time, I can still give you a ride."
Lu Qing thought for a while: "I still need an opportunity."
By the way, before leaving, he wanted to help Ning Juan solve some troubles.
The two agreed on a secret sign, and they didn't continue talking for too long. When they went out, Duan Lingguang put on his servant's hat again, and put away his unrestrained flair. He looked ordinary and could act very well.
After Fan Xingyan drank the chrysanthemum tea, he really felt calmer.
Lu Qing sent the person to the gate and patted Fan Xingyan on the shoulder: "Sister-in-law is about to give birth, you have been away for so long, stay with her well, don't come to me, you are not afraid of gossip, but it is not good to irritate sister-in-law gone."
Speaking of his daughter-in-law, Fan Xingyan smiled and replied: "When the child is born, I will let the child recognize you as a godfather, Huai Xue, you are an upright person, I believe these rumors will pass, and His Majesty will not listen to slander. "
Lu Qing smiled and nodded, sent the person away, stood at the door for a while, coughed a few times, turned and returned to the mansion.
Fan's carriage left, but no one noticed another carriage hidden in the darkness.
Ning Juan looked at Lu Qing with a slight smile from a distance away, and went back after talking with others, pursing his lips.
Chang Shun didn't dare to catch his breath, and seeing Lu Qing turned and left, he still couldn't hold back his words: "Your Majesty, don't you want to go and talk to Mr. Lu?"
In the past few days, His Majesty came every day at night, and the carriage stopped here, watching Lu Qing come back from the official office, but he didn't go there.
What is this awkward?
Ning Juan lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "Teacher is angry."
Lu Qing was not angry because he took Shi Rongfeng away, but because he had affection for him.
He would choose to back down on other things, but not this one.
Chang Shun scratched his head: "Master Lu has never been angry with you for too long, why don't you go coax him?"
Ning Juan didn't say a word.
Changshun racked his brains: "At this time last year, the following people presented an ice sculpture lamp, which is really beautiful. Mr. Lu likes it very much. It is a pity that Mr. Lu will melt after it melts. Why don't you give Mr. Lu another lamp?"
In Changshun's heart, any conflicts and unhappiness can be offset by things he likes.
Ning Juan glanced at him, didn't say yes, didn't say no, then looked at the gate of Lu Mansion for a while, then lowered the curtain: "Go back."
A few days later, the first snow of the year fell in the capital city, and the bustling capital city was covered in plain white.
Lu Qing was summoned by the palace after a long absence, asking him to enter the palace to face the saint.
The two had been in a cold war for a long time, and the communication was all through the air. Either Lu Qing handed over the notebook, or Chang Shun came to the mansion to give the reward, as if separated by a thin layer of ice, before either party took any action. , this layer of ice has existed for a long time.
Unexpectedly, Ning Juan would take the initiative to break through.
Lu Qing couldn't figure out what Ning Juan wanted to do for a while, after thinking about it again and again, he still wrapped himself in a thick fox fur, and sat on the sedan chair that came to pick him up with a hand stove in his arms.
Unexpectedly, this time the sedan chair did not go to the Qianqing Palace, but to another place.
It was getting dark, but Lu Qing opened the curtain, couldn't see the road outside, and was a little confused, so he went to the place.
The one who came to invite him was Changshun's disciple An Ping, who bowed his waist respectfully and asked Lu Qing to get off the sedan chair, and said with a smile, "Master Lu, please come in, Your Majesty is waiting for you inside."
Only then did Lu Qing see clearly what this place was, swallowed his doubts, and walked into the palace in front of him.
This is the plum garden in the palace. The cold winter has come, the red plums are in full bloom, and the plums are fragrant in the snow. In previous years, when the plum blossoms bloomed, Lu Qing and Ning Juan would come to enjoy the plum blossoms.
But this year is different.
I don’t know when many ice lanterns were hung on the plum trees. In the crystal clear ice lanterns, the candlelight flickered faintly. When it came, it snowed again. It was really beautiful against the cold plum trees in the courtyard.
Lu Qing blinked, stared at the transparent lamps swaying in the wind, reached out to lift one, and took a closer look. The ice lamps were extraordinarily delicately carved, and there were faintly two figures on it.
Before he could see clearly, a familiar voice from the boy came from behind: "Does Huai Xue like it?"
Lu Qing paused for a moment, turned around, and leaned over to salute: "I have seen Your Majesty."
Before he could bend down, he was helped up, and Ning Juan's voice, which was still slightly smiling just now, suddenly became angry: "Do you have to be so angry at me?"
Lu Qing was puzzled, it was clearly Ning Juan who erased the friendship between teachers and students himself, why is he wronged again now?
His eyes were lowered, and he noticed that Ning Juan's hand holding him was a little red and swollen, and it was wrapped in a cloth, as if injured, so he frowned.
Even though the relationship with Ning Juan is very awkward now, Lu Qing still couldn't hold back his habitual concern: "What's wrong with His Majesty's hand?"
There has been little communication between the two of them recently, and Lu Qing talked to him mostly in a business-like manner. After receiving a rare greeting, Ning Juan became happy again, and stared at him with burning eyes: "I didn't notice when I was carving the ice lamp. Yes, it still hurts now, does Huai Xue love me?"
The ice lanterns in the yard were carved by Ning Juan?
The dignified Son of Heaven is actually willing to do this kind of thing just to please another person.
Lu Qing was stunned for a moment, as if he had been burned, Huo then took a big step back, not noticing that his hand was loosened, the ice lamp slipped, and fell to the ground.
It was originally made of ice, and there were candles inside. The ground was extremely hard in winter, and the ice lamp fell to the ground and shattered.
There are also cracks in the two figures above.
Ning Juan's expression suddenly changed.
Only then did Lu Qing realize that the sculptures on it seemed to be him and Ning Juan.
Ning Juan stared at the ice lamp, his face darkening.
He had been trying his best to endure these days, and he didn't want to push Lu Qingze too hard. He wanted to please Lu Qingze and show his heart.
But Lu Qing broke his heart.
Lu Qing wanted to explain, but he opened his mouth, but didn't know how to explain.
He was a little confused.
He had been trying his best to convince himself that Ning Juan had just had an illusion about him.
But it's just an illusion, why do this.
Could it be that Ning Juan is serious...
Lu Qing was stimulated by that possibility, and couldn't help but took another step back.
Ning Juan only felt that his heart was broken like a lamp on the ground.
But under Lu Qingze's teaching, he had learned to hide his fragility. He stared at Lu Qingze for a moment, then turned and left without expression.
He obviously didn't want Lu Qing to suffer, but Lu Qing wanted to make trouble for himself.
Then don't blame him.
The back of the young emperor disappeared at the gate of the courtyard, leaving Lu Qingze and a courtyard of ice lanterns swaying in the wind.
Lu Qing looked down, and saw that the ice lamp on the ground was broken into many pieces, and lost its crystal beauty when it was complete. It looked ordinary, just a few pieces of broken ice.
No one knew that this was the ice lantern carved by His Majesty the Emperor himself in order to please others.
Not only Ning Juan's heart was shattered, but also Tian Huang's pride and self-esteem that was constantly rejected.
Lu Qing sighed silently, Duan Lingguang's question flashed in his mind, his eyelashes trembled, he hesitated for a while, then bent down, hugged the broken ice lantern with his cloak, and walked out of the yard slowly.
He can't bear such a heart.
Even if Ning Juan doesn't want to admit it, they are also teachers and students, such a relationship is immoral and shouldn't exist.
Today he hurt Ning Juan's heart, and according to his familiarity with Ning Juan, this little brat won't keep his hand anymore.
He had to finish the last step quickly and leave as soon as possible.
The author has something to say:
Lu Qingze: Do you think I look like a beast?
Ning Guoguo: I do!
Lu Qingze:?
