Raising Wolves

Before falling asleep, Lu Qingze's mood fluctuated greatly, but he didn't expect to sleep well this time. His cold hands and feet were put into a warm embrace, so this time he slept peacefully, like floating in water The uncertain duckweed suddenly caught its roots.

When he woke up, his spirit had recovered a lot.

Chang Shun was still guarding outside. Hearing the sound, he raised his head and saw Lu Qing pulling aside the bed curtain and coming out.

"Lord Lu, you're awake." Chang Shun didn't dare to look any further, and lowered his gaze, "Do you want to have lunch first?"

Now that Ning Juan has discovered it, it is almost impossible to escape now.

Lu Qing didn't have much strength in his body, so he nodded his head weakly, waited for Changshun to bring lunch, washed up a little, sat down and drank the porridge slowly.

Changshun saw that his face was clear and cold, and he was in a bad mood, so he hesitated for a moment, then swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

Lord Lu is still angry at the moment, if he speaks kind words for His Majesty, it will not be of much use according to Lord Lu's temper, but it will make Lord Lu not even want to listen to his words.

After eating, Lu Qing felt that he had regained some strength, took the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his lips: "I want to see Your Majesty."

Qian Mingming still doesn't know which prison he is squatting in Beizhen Fusi. He really can't sit still.

Chang Shun hurriedly laughed and said: "Your Majesty is afraid of disturbing you, and is writing notes in the study, you follow me."

Lu Qing didn't speak, just picked up a robe and put it on, and followed Changshun out.

When he woke up yesterday, he ran into Ning Juan and went crazy, so he didn't have time to observe. Today, he realized that this place didn't seem to be the Palace of Heavenly Purity, nor any other palaces he was familiar with.

There are many plum blossoms planted in the yard, and the fragrance collides and floats in the air.

The study is in the side room on the west side. When Lu Qing stepped in, he saw several palace people carrying a plaque out of it. Because the plaque was facing him, he didn't see clearly what words were mentioned on it. .

Ning Juan was in the study, putting down the wolf hair in his hand.

Lu Qing sighed in his heart, His Majesty the Emperor personally bestowed the calligraphy, and I don't know which favorite minister was honored.

As soon as Ning Juan raised his head, he saw Lu Qing came in wrapped in a robe, his long black hair was loose, his usually bloodless lips were very red, his brows were deeply frowned, and his eyes were shining.

Probably Lu Qingze didn't realize that the outer robe belonged to him, it was very wide, and it was empty when it caged Lu Qingze.

His eyes darkened, and he waved away the others, but looked at Lu Qing without saying a word.

Just standing there, the fully mature Emperor His Majesty exuded a faint indifference and majesty.

As if that mad dog from last night wasn't him.

Lu Qing was a little awkward facing the grown-up Ning Juan.

He could clearly feel Ning Juantan's deep gaze on him, with hidden warmth and longing.

In the past, he felt more of the teenager's impatient possessiveness and desire for him, but now... Ning Juan seems to have changed.

Can't say what changed, but it did change.

"...Where's Qian Mingming?" Lu Qingze and Ning Juan confronted each other for a while, but they still spoke first.

Mentioning this person, Ning Juan's mood was a little gloomy.

According to the news sent by Jin Yiwei, perhaps three years ago, Lu Qing left the north under the protection of Duan Lingguang.

When he asked Jin Yiwei to capture Duan Lingguang from the cargo ship, Lu Qing was hiding on it.

He just passed by Lu Qingze.

The only thing that made him feel better was that Lu Qingze did not stay by Duan Lingguang's side in recent years, but wandered elsewhere.

If Lu Qing would hide beside Duan Lingguang, facing him every night, he might not be able to be so calm.

"What I promised you, I will do."

Ning Juan walked slowly to Lu Qingze's side, and stretched out his hand towards his neck: "I will not kill him, nor will I implicate Duan Lingguang."

But don't think too much about it.

Duan Lingguang's behavior has already touched his back scale.

Lu Qing frowned even deeper, and unceremoniously "slapped" Ning Juan's hand open: "Don't do anything to Duan Lingguang, not by any means."

Ning Juan paused for a moment, didn't say yes or no, and didn't think it was against him, so he coaxed in a low voice, "Let me see the wound."

Lu Qing said coldly: "Who are you pretending to be now, are you not crazy?"

It was the first time that Ning Juan saw Lu Qingze's temper so violent, he couldn't help but chuckled a few times, and then, under Lu Qingze's increasingly cold gaze, he grabbed his hand so that he wouldn't block it, and pointed his fingers forcefully. Holding his collar, he opened it and glanced.

On the snow-white back of the neck, the deep tooth marks still remain.

Bite any deeper and it's time to break the skin.

Ning Juan suddenly felt somewhat satisfied, rubbed the tooth mark lightly with his fingertips, and said to himself: "It's good that it's still there, otherwise it should be repaired."

Lu Qing thought that Ning Juan passed by overnight, but suddenly his conscience realized that he was ashamed of the mad dog's behavior last night, but he didn't expect Ning Juan to check the bite marks to make up for it!

Angrily, he patted Ning Juan's hand away again, and blurted out: "Are you sick?"

Ning Juan still didn't get angry: "Yes, but why do you think I'm sick?"

The sockets of his eyes were a little red, as if he was wronged or angry, and his voice was cold and slow: "Lu Huaixue, when you lose a dog, don't you think about whether the dog will be injured and become a mad dog? "

For the dignified son of heaven, it's okay for others to scold him. He compared himself to a dog, but Lu Qing was dumb for a while, before saying: "Why I made such a decision, you should be clear in your heart."

Ning Juan stared at him gloomyly and said in a low voice: "Is my relationship that unbearable to you?"

Lu Qing shook his head subconsciously: "You just..."

Just how, but he couldn't tell.

Three years ago, Ning Juan was just a dissatisfied young man. He was able to take charge of politics alone, but he was still ignorant emotionally.

He can keep telling himself that Ning Juan does like him somewhat, but his dependence on and possession of him is greater than his liking. As long as he stays away from him and cuts off his thoughts, Ning Juan will understand.

But three years later, Ning Juan still likes him.

I didn't forget him, and I didn't forget that feeling.

It was hard for him to ignore Ning Juan's eyes looking at him.

It's not disgust, it's just making him unspeakably flustered.

Lu Qingze's eyelashes trembled slightly. He has always kept his mind calm and was rarely disturbed by others. He wanted to escape, but was blocked by Ning Juan. His lips moved, and he shook his head and said: " This is wrong, Your Majesty, you shouldn't treat me..."

"Didn't the teacher tell me that there is nothing in this world that should or shouldn't be." Ning Juan interrupted him, approaching him step by step aggressively, "Why do you want to put chains on yourself?"

Lu Qing couldn't bear it anymore and said: "I watched you grow up, how do you want me to see you?"

"You don't need to think so much, just look at me straight in the eye." Ning Juan regained his aura for a moment, like a big dog suddenly docile, and whispered, "Huaixue, I've grown up."

Lu Qingze's breathing became heavy, and he pulled away abruptly and left.

After walking out of the small study, Lu Qing suddenly realized that his palms were slightly wet with sweat at some point. When facing Ning Juan, he couldn't go to him with a senior attitude like before. Education, correction, but feel nervous.

Lu Qing rubbed his temples, took a few deep breaths, and stabilized his mind. He suspected that he was infected with some kind of madness after being bitten by Ning Juan.

He didn't want to see Ning Juan again for the time being, so he walked into the plum garden, and suddenly heard the banging outside, he didn't know what he was doing, glanced at it, only to find that he was changing the plaque of this residence.

Lu Qing then remembered that when he entered the study just now, Ning Juan seemed to have written something on the plaque. He thought it was a calligraphy given to some minister, but he didn't expect it to be inscribed here?

He was depressed, and he was not in the mood to watch it. The wind in March was cold, and Ning Juan probably ordered it. Chang Shun quickly ran over with a cloak: "Oh, Mr. Lu, Dr. Xu ordered you not to catch the cold anymore. Hurry up and get into the house to hide from the wind."

Lu Qing glanced there again, looked away, hummed hoarsely, and followed Changshun into the bedroom.

Chang Shun saw that his face was much better than when he woke up in the morning, and he wanted to kill someone with a knife. He figured that the two of them probably didn't quarrel in the study just now, but Mr. Lu still had some lumps in his heart, and said in a low voice. : "Lord Lu, our family hasn't told you yet, Your Majesty is very sad during your absence."

Of course Lu Qing knew that this bastard would be sad, so he didn't speak.

Chang Shun sighed and said, "You don't know. When I heard that you...was assassinated, His Majesty rushed to the post overnight regardless of dissuasion. Commander Zheng said that it was freezing cold and His Majesty seemed to be in a nightmare. Holding the charred corpse, he refused to let go, and finally vomited blood before he was willing to bring the corpse back to Beijing, which frightened Commander Zheng very much."

Lu Qing was taken aback.

It's like when I heard that Ning Juan was summoning someone's soul in Lin'an.

He expected that Ning Juan would be sad and depressed for a period of time because of his "death", but he didn't expect that Ning Juan would be so sad.

Chang Shun pretended not to notice the subtle changes in Lu Qingze, and lowered his voice a little bit: "Since you left, Your Majesty has never slept soundly again, and he always suffers from splitting headaches. Even Doctor Xu doesn't like it. Let us pay more attention to His Majesty, and don't let him do stupid things."

Lu Qing was silent, did not speak, and let Changshun speak.

Chang Shun said: "During the New Year this year, His Majesty seems to have had a whim, and suddenly picked a child from the clan, and brought him into the palace to raise him under his knees."

"……what?"

Seeing his reaction, Chang Shun hurriedly continued: "He is an orphan whose parents died, but he is quite smart and honest. His Majesty never tells our family this in private, but our family can see that His Majesty may want to treat this child Take him under his name and train him to be... the crown prince."

Lu Qing didn't know if it was more numb or more angry, he couldn't believe it: "He is young, adopting a child to be the heir apparent?!"

Does Ning Juan know what she is doing!

Chang Shun was cautious on weekdays, so he dared to speak the truth in front of Lu Qingze: "Your Majesty hides things in his heart, and he never tells anyone. Once in the middle of the night, our house was guarding the night. We accidentally took a nap and woke up Your Majesty. Not in the house anymore, there was a lot of trouble, everyone was looking for where your majesty went, but the next morning, your majesty came back in good condition, with red eyes... Lord Lu, your majesty listens to you very much, He said that you want him to be a good emperor, and he will do well and not let you down, so he came back and went to court early."

Lu Qing held on to the door frame, feeling dizzy for a while.

During the three years abroad, he often dreamed that Ning Juan was standing alone on a high tower looking up at the bright moon, and that lonely figure suddenly overlapped with Ning Juan now.

What is he doing?Isn't he His Majesty the Emperor?

He closed his eyes, took a breath, turned around and changed direction, and walked quickly to the study room, with countless words he wanted to say in his chest, so fast that Chang Shun couldn't keep up.

In the end, Ning Juan had already left.

Lu Qing was stunned. He was actually quite used to finding Ning Juan immediately if he wanted to, or even if he didn't look for him, Ning Juan would take the initiative to come and stick to him, and rarely missed.

Feeling more irritable.

Lu Qing tightened his thick cloak, not wanting to stay in this palace anymore, walked through the plum grove in front, walked outside, and walked out of the palace.

No one came to stop him.

Ning Juan didn't seem worried that he would leave.

That's right, this is the Forbidden City, the emperor's territory, so Ning Juan doesn't have to worry about him running away.

Even if he ran away, he still had to worry about Xia Duan Lingguang's head.

What's more, there is probably a hidden guard by his side.

Ning Juan told him that he would be obedient. He heard anecdotes about the middle of Beijing in the suburbs of Beijing. During the cleaning three years ago, Ning Juan did not trouble others.

I haven't seen you for three years, but it seems to have changed and calmed down.

It seemed to become more uncontrollable and crazier.

Lu Qing felt unspeakably contradictory and irritable in his chest. After walking for a while, he felt a little tired, so he sat down to rest.

The position he was sitting in was between several tall flowers. His body was already thin, and was hidden by the flowers. He could not be seen unless he walked around. Two passing maids happened to steal it from the other side Lazy, whispered a few gossips: "... What a happy event."

"But we have been staying in the palace all the time, and we haven't seen any strangers being taken into the palace."

"There are discussions everywhere in the palace. Your Majesty has never been close to women. I have never seen His Majesty smile at anyone. It can't be a maid in the palace..."

"I heard that the ministers of the previous court were very excited!"

"I really want to meet that mysterious empress..."

After a few gossips, he didn't dare to be lazy anymore, and hurried away again.

Lu Qing could hear the buzzing in his head.

What empress?

Ning Juan is about to stand up?

Combined with what Ning Juan said yesterday when he went crazy, Lu Qing suddenly realized something, stood up awkwardly, and wanted to go to the Qianqing Palace to find Ning Juan, but walked too hastily, and accidentally twisted his ankle.

Lu Qing didn't have the strength to say anything to his frail body, sat in silence for a while, and said coldly, "Don't come close", and the guard who was protecting Lu Qingze in the dark hesitated for a moment, but dared not approached.

Lu Qing endured the pain, and slowly limped back to the palace just now, waiting for Ning Juan to come to him.

This wolf cub will definitely not be able to bear it.

Because he twisted his foot, Lu Qing walked very slowly. When he walked in, he inevitably saw the plaque that had been replaced.

He didn't know what this place was called before, but now it's called "Ji Xue Xuan".

The characters of His Majesty the Emperor not only stood up, but also became strong and powerful.

Lu Qing glanced at it, but didn't pay much attention. He went back to the dormitory, drank the medicine Changshun brought, and looked down at his ankle. He didn't feel that it was swollen, so he didn't pay any more attention.

Compared with this small problem, Ning Juan's matter caused him more headaches.

Whether it was yesterday or today, when talking to Ning Juan, he could not help but be distracted by his emotions, and then forget what he was going to say, which is not like him.

He needs to calm down and speak clearly with Ning Juan.

When it was dark, Lu Qing finished his meal, took a bath and drank medicine, and Ning Juan returned to Jixuexuan.

Lu Qing could guess why he came back so late.

As soon as His Majesty the Emperor came, he went straight into the dormitory to look for Lu Qingze, still holding a box of ointment in his hand.

Lu Qing sat on the couch, watched him approach calmly, and then slowly opened his mouth: "I want to tell you three things."

The two agreed, and did not mention the conversation in the study room. Ning Juan also seemed to be very talkative, and nodded happily: "Okay."

"The first thing is, don't do anything to Duan Lingguang, no matter which aspect." Lu Qing stared at him and said, "Since Your Majesty said he would listen to me, at least this point, I hope you can do it."

It was Duan Lingguang again.

Ning Juan endured the overturned jealousy in his heart, the corners of his lips were straightened, and the jaw line was also tense. After a long while, he said coldly: "Death is inevitable, but life is inevitable. I will give him a business deal in the Western Regions." The task, if he can do it, I will spare him, if he can't..."

Ning Juan was still wearing an expensive black uniform, half-knelt down in front of Lu Qingze without paying any attention, and held up his sprained foot: "Huaixue, I can't bear to be alone about you."

Lu Qing twitched his foot, but failed to twitch it away. Instead, it was convenient for Ning Juan to take off the stocking on his foot.

The ankle, which looked fine in the afternoon, is now red and swollen.

Ning Juan dug out a spoonful of snow-white ointment, frowned, his handsome face was full of displeasure: "I just didn't see you for a while, and I got hurt again."

Lu Qing told himself to be calm in his heart, ignored his words, and continued: "Second thing, I hope Your Majesty will keep the news of my return secret, and don't spread it."

When he decided to feign death and leave, there were reasons for Ning Juan and other reasons.

At that time, countless officials in the court were afraid of him. After experiencing the rebellion of the eunuch party and the Wei party, they feared that there would be another "land party". Riding a tiger is hard to get off, in that situation, it doesn't matter whether Ning Juan protects him or not.

Protect him, or some people with a heart have reason to shout the slogan "Qingjun side" to cause chaos. If you don't protect him, he will really become a powerful minister in the midst of countless attacks, and gather his own party members to protect himself .

Feigning death is inevitable, and only when the threat of "Lu Qingze" disappears can the frenzy in the court disappear, and Ning Juan will have the opportunity to deal with some dishonest people.

Under such circumstances, if the news of his return spreads... I really don't know what kind of mess it will turn into.

His political enemies and opponents are afraid that they will die of anger in place.

The cool ointment was applied to the red and swollen area, and it felt cool and comfortable.

Ning Juan knew the pros and cons of this, carefully applied the medicine to Lu Qing, and hummed lightly.

There is no rush, but he will let Lu Qingze reappear in front of everyone.

His Huai Xue is open and aboveboard, and he doesn't need to hide his head and show his tail.

He thought about it three years ago, and he would never hide Lu Qingze again.

Lu Qing is the bright moon in the sky, who can hide the moon?

"The third thing." Lu Qing said slowly, "Since Your Majesty is going to marry a new queen, you shouldn't lock me here."

Ning Juan froze for a moment, then looked up quickly, with an inexplicable smile on his handsome face: "Have you heard?"

It was clear that the emperor who everyone looked up to was half-kneeling in front of Lu Qingze at this moment.

Lu Qing sat on the couch, looking down at him, feeling inexplicably confused.

His forehead twitched and he tried to keep his tone calm: "Since you are no longer a child, you should know what you are doing. You are the emperor, and you are not just pretending to be an empress."

"Huaixue, you still don't understand my intentions." Ning Juan held his ankle with some disappointment, and slowly stroked it, as if applying medicine, with a kind of indescribable emotion, " I naturally know what I'm doing."

He stared at Lu Qingze with burning eyes, his eyes filled with anxious desire: "Huaixue, I want to marry you as my queen."

Hearing these words clearly from Ning Juan's mouth, Lu Qing endured all afternoon and let out his temper. With a cold face, he withdrew his foot and stomped on Ning Juan's shoulder unbearably, wishing he could Then kicked him a few more times, his chest rose and fell slightly: "What if I don't want to?"

The snow-white bare feet stepped on the shoulders, and when the corners of the clothes passed by, there were a few traces of fragrant plum fragrance.

Even though he was half kneeling on the ground and being stepped on by someone, the corner of His Majesty's mouth hooked happily, and gently held his feet: "I know you don't want to, so I won't force you to marry me."

Three years ago, he wanted to hide Lu Qingze, only for himself.

After experiencing a loss, what he fears day and night now is losing Lu Qingze.

What he wants is Lu Qingze who will smile at him.

He had discovered long ago that it bothered him if the teacher smiled at him.

But if the teacher doesn't smile, he will be more troubled.

Lu Qing felt even more confused, obviously he was the one who should know Ning Juan best, but at this moment he couldn't figure out what Ning Juan was thinking.

If you don't want to force him, what is he doing now?

But if he wanted to force him, it seemed that Ning Juan really didn't have to endure until now.

After all, except for Duan Lingguang, no one knows that he is alive, and he was taken back to the palace by Ning Juan. He was sick and unable to resist. Ning Juan could do whatever he wanted, and he was not allowed to resist.

Realizing that his thoughts were about to be distracted by emotions again, Lu Qing took a deep breath, and was about to speak again, so he immediately had another talk with the "Prince Prince", and watched Ning Juan lower his head, He kissed lightly on his toes.

Lu Qingze had never been treated like this in two lifetimes, his mind went blank for a moment, the red from his toes to the tips of his ears, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Is this bitch a pervert? !

"Huaixue, just treat me as a mad dog begging for mercy." Ning Juan kissed his toes and said in a hoarse voice, "I will listen to you and not bite you."

Lu Qing sat on the couch in a daze, his lips trembled, and he gritted a few words between his teeth: "Do you still remember your identity, stand up for me."

Ning Juan obediently stood up and stared at him.

Lu Qing turned away, avoiding his sight: "Get out."

The room was brightly lit, and when Lu Qing turned his head away, the blush on the snow-white earlobe was very conspicuous.

Ning Juan stared longingly at his earlobe for a moment, then obediently got out.

The author has something to say:

Lu Qingze: I asked Dr. Xu for a rabies vaccine overnight.

Ning Juan:?
