Raising Wolves

About to arrive at the gate of the palace, Lu Qing calmed down a little, and patted Chen Xiaodao on the shoulder: "Xiaodao, after I enter the palace, you should go back to Lu's residence immediately and don't come out."

Even if Chen Xiaodao took advantage of the opportunity of the Tatars and the vassals entering the capital and their eyes were on the other side to pry open the gap, Lu Qing didn't think that Chen Xiaodao's movements would be seamless.

This is the capital, under Ning Juan's nose.

Regardless of whether Ning Juan set up a trap to lure him back, Chen Xiaodao would be unlucky afterwards.

The Lu Mansion is a special place in Ning Juan's heart. He let Chen Xiaodao hide it inside, just because of his attitude, Ning Juan would keep it even if he was angry.

Chen Xiaodao knew the risks of what he did and the consequences of being discovered by Ning Juan, but he was ready to bear it long ago, and wrinkled his face to speculate: "My lord, did something happen to His Majesty? One is fake..."

"Even if it's fake." Lu Qing said in a low voice, "I want to go back and have a look."

Chen Xiaodao said in a daze: "My lord, you are not..."

Didn't he not hesitate to fake his death just to leave the capital, a place of right and wrong, and to leave His Majesty's side?

Lu Qing was quiet for a few moments: "Xiao Dao, I'm sorry, I failed you, but I may..."

Don't want to leave.

Chen Xiaodao vaguely squeezed out some meaning from his unfinished words, scratched his head, and then grinned: "It's okay, it's also my own initiative. Young master, whatever you want, you can do it with confidence, I will never I support you. Didn’t you say that life is good for a hundred years, as long as you stand upright and don’t hurt others, then choose the happiest path.”

This sentence was indeed said by Lu Qingze to Chen Xiaodao.

I didn't expect that Chen Xiaodao would turn it over and hand it over to him.

Chen Xiaodao's eyes were clean, like a mirror.

Lu Qing looked at him for a while, then nodded slowly.

The palace gate approached from far to near, and soon arrived, but in a short while, the surrounding defenses had already intensified a lot. Seeing a carriage approaching, the imperial guards immediately stepped forward to question.

Lu Qing's heart sank slightly, and he immediately jumped out of the carriage and showed his teeth plate.

The leader of the imperial guards checked the lower teeth card, his face tightened, and he lowered his head to move aside: "My lord, foreign carriages are not allowed to enter the palace without permission."

Lu Qing knew the rules, turned his head and nodded to Chen Xiaodao who was full of worries, and walked into the palace gate without looking back.

Sure enough, the defense in the palace has been tightened up a lot, and there are more Jinyi guards that Lu Qing is not very familiar with.

Lu Qingze's heartbeat accelerated slightly, and he hurried to Qianqing Palace, but within a few steps, an acquaintance came to meet him, leading a group of Jinyi guards.

Xiao Jin, Zheng Yao's capable subordinate back then.

Lu Qing, the guard in Jinyi, has a deep memory. Versatility is one thing. Three years ago, he was the one who caught up with Duan Lingguang's merchant ship and escorted Duan Lingguang to Beijing.

Now it is Jin Tongzhi.

Seeing Lu Qingze, Xiao Jin's face was surprised—several senior officials in Jinyiwei already knew Lu Qingze's identity, and hurriedly got off his horse and asked, "Lu...Your Highness, why are you here? you……"

Lu Qing took a breath, and asked directly, "Where is Your Majesty?"

Xiao Jin was silent for a while: "Your Majesty... I am in Jixuexuan right now, you follow us."

Lu Qing looked at his reaction, and his heart sank again.

Could it be that the one in ten thousand chance really happened?

Xiao Jin was about to help Lu Qing get on the horse, when the breeze swept by him, Lu Qing had already passed him, turned on the horse neatly, and only left three words: "Borrow me."

After speaking, he flicked the reins, turned his head, and ran towards Jixuexuan.

The cold wind in the middle of the night beat against the face, and when the fast horse was running wildly on the narrow palace road, Lu Qingze's heart was also like a galloping horse's hoof, up and down, thumping non-stop.

Nervousness and worry never before filled his mind, even if Ning Juan was sitting in Jixue Pavilion right now, waiting for him to throw himself into the trap, he would be willing.

Whether it's true or not, he just needs to see Ning Juan immediately.

As if it had been a long time, and it seemed only a moment, the outline of Ji Xuexuan came into view, and Lu Qing pulled the rein when the horse was about to rush to the door, reined in the castration, and turned over.

He had never ridden so fast before, and under the violent bumps, his legs even went limp when he got off the horse.

All the nearby guards knew Lu Qingze, and when they saw him coming on horseback, they all froze, startled, and stepped forward to help him.

Lu Qing waved his hand and walked in quickly.

Lu Qingze's dormitory was brightly lit, and Chang Shun was wandering anxiously outside the house, with a blister on the corner of his mouth, when he heard familiar footsteps approaching, he suddenly raised his head, and saw Lu Qingze's figure coming in a hurry , I was stunned for a moment, with an indescribably complicated expression on my face, and then I sighed a long time: "Master Lu, how can you... well, go in quickly."

Lu Qing nodded slightly to him, took a light breath, pushed the door open and entered.

The window in the house was not closed, and the moment he pushed the door, the night wind poured in, without the strong and pungent smell of medicine that he had imagined.

For a moment, Lu Qing realized, but without pausing, he closed the door behind his back, walked into the room, looked up and saw Ning Juan, who was quietly sitting on the couch by the window.

Ning Juan, whose eyes were still full of soft smiles before they parted, could hardly hide the joy between his brows, had changed in just one stick of incense time. There was no expression on his handsome face, and his eyes were too dark to detect emotions, and seemed to be full of emotions. Another dark color that is so strong that it can swallow people up.

He was casually playing with a wine cup in his hand, and when he heard footsteps, he just raised his eyes calmly and looked at Lu Qingze without any disturbance.

This kind of Ning Juan is actually more disturbing than the angry Ning Juan.

Lu Qing was worried about Ning Juan all the way, and even forgot how to organize the language to explain. The moment he saw Ning Juan, his words couldn't help but stagnate.

"Lu Qingze." Ning Juan stared at him and said slowly, "I was counting just now."

Such Ning Juan made Lu Qing dare not speak casually, approached him slowly step by step, and followed him and asked, "What are you counting?"

"I'm counting, before the stick of incense burns out, will you leave the capital with Chen Xiaodao, or will you come back to see me?" Ning Juan looked down at the wine cup in his hand, "I bet you will come back, If you don't come back, I'm going to drink this glass of wine."

The incense beside him has burned to the bottom.

Realizing what was in the glass of wine in Ning Juan's hand, Lu Qingze's expression changed suddenly, and when there were only three or two steps left, he rushed up quickly, intending to take the glass of wine away.

However, the moment he got close to Ning Juan, his eyes dimmed, and he was overturned and pushed down on the couch.

Ning Juan lowered his pressure, breathing heavily, gritted his teeth and showed a distorted smile: "Do you also know the feeling of worry?"

Scared?

Lu Qing was dazed, thinking along Ning Juan's words.

He was indeed afraid.

When rushing all the way, panic and unfamiliar emotions filled his heart, he suddenly understood the panic of "losing", and he didn't dare to take any chances.

It turns out that's what it's like to be afraid of losing someone important to you.

Ning Juan experienced this feeling twice.

His mind was buzzing for a while, and he tried his best to keep his tone calm: "Guoguo, I don't want to leave, you put that glass of wine away first, we'll talk later, be obedient, okay?"

Ning Juan just showed a weird smile, grabbed Lu Qingze's jaw with one hand, brought the wine to his lips, and drank it without hesitation.

Lu Qing paused for a moment without struggling, but opened his pupils slightly wide, looking at Ning Juan without blinking, obediently swallowed the spicy wine, and his stomach was instantly on fire.

His reaction stunned Ning Juan for a moment, he threw away the wine glass, wiped the wine from the corner of his lips before he could swallow it, and said lightly: "This is not poisonous wine, how could I be so stupid... sleep peacefully for a while .”

The drowsiness drug was added to the wine.

Lu Qingze's eyelashes trembled, and soon fell into an unconscious dream due to the strength of the alcohol and the effect of the medicine.

When he woke up again, his vision was blurry.

Lu Qingze's head was still a little dizzy, he managed to open his eyes, and vaguely judged that it was not far from the time before he was drugged and fell asleep.

He seemed to be lying on a bed.

Outside the veil, bright candles were dancing, and Ning Juan was pouring wine at the table.

Lu Qing wanted to sit up subconsciously, got out of bed and walked over, but when he raised his hand, he heard a sound like iron chains colliding, his hands and feet were bound by something, and he couldn't lift it up.

He lowered his head slowly, and with the help of the dim candlelight coming through the veil, he saw clearly what it was.

It was a pair of handcuffs and anklets made of gold, the ends of which were tied to the head of the bed, locking him to the bed.

Lu Qing was stunned for a moment, and then found that his clothes had also been changed.

The black dress he was wearing before was thrown away somewhere, but now he is wearing a bright red wedding dress.

For a moment, Lu Qing felt a little ridiculous. Ning Juan changed him into a wedding dress and locked him on the bed...what did he want to do!

Ning Juan also heard the sound of chains, and walked over with two wine cups, parting the gauze curtain.

Lu Qing was a little annoyed by being locked up, and was about to question, when Ning Juan spoke first: "You abandoned me again."

One sentence dispelled most of the anger in Lu Qingze's heart.

It was only then that he realized that Ning Juan was also wearing a bright red wedding dress.

Not only that, this room is decorated only for big weddings, and it is very festive.

There was no joy in Ning Juan's voice, he had the light behind him, his expression was blurred, while Lu Qing could only hear him saying plainly: "It's like three years ago...you promised me to return to Beijing as soon as possible, I I waited for your return with joy, and what I waited for was the news of your death."

"You didn't reject me today, even if it's just because it's my birthday, I'm very happy."

Ning Juan approached step by step, with a calm tone: "I know I made mistakes in the past, so I don't want to make the same mistakes again. But am I not good enough? I am so obedient... You are still going to leave again."

He watched Lu Qingze's attitude gradually soften, he was no longer so resistant, and even showed signs of loosening, thinking that his victory was imminent, and that everything Changshun had prepared would not be needed.

I didn't expect it to be used.

Lu Qingze's Adam's apple choked, and he felt out of breath. It wasn't because of Ning Juan's overwhelming sense of oppression, but another strange emotion: "I really don't want to leave, you misunderstood……"

"I'm worried that you'll catch a cold tonight and you'll have a fever." Ning Juan cut off his words, his voice was steady, but the hand holding the wine cup was trembling slightly, and he put the wine on the bedside. A volcano with gushing lava, "so let Changshun go and have a look."

Then Chang Shun hurriedly came to report to him that Lord Lu had not returned to Jixuexuan, nor was he at His Highness's side, and there was no sign of Lord Lu nearby.

His dizziness was dizzy, blank for a long time.

The fear he had felt when he heard the news of the fire at the post station three years ago swept over him again, spreading from his fingertips to his heart.

Is something wrong?

Sure enough, he should personally send Lu Qingze back to Jixuexuan to lie down before leaving, in case something happens to Lu Qingze...

He came to Zheng Yao with a cold body, and sent him to secretly search the entire palace city, but before he could make any move, someone from below reported Chen Xiaodao's change.

Only then did Ning Juan know that Lu Qing was not in danger, but just left him again.

He and Chen Xiaodao left.

At that moment, since the reunion, all the anger and gloom that had been suppressed in the bottom of my heart broke out together.

He wished he could lead the army immediately to catch Lu Qingze back, but another thought slipped through his mind at the same time.

So he ordered Jin Yiwei to spread the false news.

"If you don't have that news, you will just leave, hide in a place where I can't find it, and never come back."

Ning Juan bent down, and Lu Qing finally saw his expression clearly.

The young emperor's eyes, which would always light up when he saw him, were gloomy and lifeless. He stretched out his finger and rolled over the tear mole at the corner of his eye expressionlessly, and whispered softly: "You are always so ruthless...I treat you As far as it is concerned, it can be discarded at any time."

The callused fingertips rubbed the corners of the eyes, while Lu Qing just woke up, his eyes were already a little moist, but after the thin skin was crushed hard, the corners of the eyes were red, as if he had cried.

Lu Qing's heart contracted and ached: "That's not the case. To me, in this world, you are the most important..."

"fraud."

"Why didn't you do what you promised me? Why did you fix that ice lantern? Why did you leave that letter?" Ning Juan interrupted him, his voice suddenly sharp, "It's been three years since you left, three years. Nian, Lu Qingze! You don't want me like that, do you still have the heart... I'm dying of pain."

He finally vented the anger that he wanted to vent the moment he saw Lu Qingze, but his voice trailed off, a little trembling, as if he had been stabbed by something suddenly, and the pain made his voice unsteady.

Lu Qingze's heart also hurt badly, his throat was constantly choked, and it became difficult to swallow. He said in a hoarse voice, "Guoguo, I never thought of abandoning you."

After the words fell, Ning Juan didn't slow down his face, but pressed him down, pinched his jaw, and said coldly: "Don't call me that."

His strength was too great, and Lu Qing squeezed it a little painfully, and frowned.

Ning Juan noticed it, his fingertips froze, relaxed his strength a little, stroked his delicate jawline, and suddenly softened his tone: "Today is the night of our wedding, Huai Xue, let's drink Hexi Bar."

The contrast between front and back seems to be split.

Obviously the Ning Juan in front of him was not like the mad dog who would pinch him and bite him before, and looked extraordinarily calm, but Lu Qing felt that the Ning Juan in front of him was more dangerous and crazy.

But Ning Juan became like this because of him.

Lu Qingze's breathing was a little short, and countless thoughts in his mind were mixed together like a torrent, washing away his reason.

Ning Juan leaned over and took the wine cup on the bedside, drank one cup on his own, then took another cup into his mouth, lowered his head, kissed Lu Qingze's lips, and forcibly passed the strong wine to him .

The soft lips pressed up, but Lu Qing was powerless to refuse, the lips were forced to part, the wine was forcibly poured in, and the burning feeling rolled from the throat to the stomach.

The new wine, together with the wine that had been drunk before, erupted in an instant, suffocating the precarious sanity.

Those torrents broke the dams in a flash.

Lu Qing's self-proclaimed calmness completely collapsed in front of Ning Juan, and when Ning Juan let go of him, he said hoarsely: "Ning Juan, I am your teacher."

Ning Juan paused, and said coldly, "I don't care."

If he really cared about those things, he wouldn't have come to this day.

Get rid of his ethics.

"Before you, I had some students. In my eyes, you were the same as them, but you were the most different."

Lu Qingze didn't mean to remind Ning Juan to respect his teacher, he raised his hand with the sound of chains shaking, and after a moment of hesitation, he landed on the eyebrows of the person above him, and said softly: "I'll accompany you You grow up, watch you grow, watch you...become the monarch in my mind."

Ning Juan is his most satisfying student.

"I come from a far away place, and in this strange place, you are my greatest comfort."

His fingertips were like fluttering butterflies, tracing Ning Juan's facial features, making Ning Juan dare not move.

Ning Juan stared at him intently, his dark and indifferent expression slowed down, and whispered: "I know."

Lu Qing didn't know whether Ning Juan answered the first half or the second half of the sentence, but he was already a little drunk, and after his reason was overwhelmed, the person who usually never speaks his mind continued to talk about what was in his heart: " I have a ruler in my heart. I used to think that our relationship can only stop at teachers, students and relatives, but during this period of reunion..."

He paused and did not continue.

Ning Juan's feelings were intense like he had never felt before, completely opposite to his calm and stagnant personality.

Ning Juan's enthusiasm made the stagnant water in his heart warm and boil.

That line has long been receding and becoming blurred.

"I don't want you to face the strange eyes of the world." Lu Qingze put his hand on Ning Juan's side cheek, and he looked at this handsome young man who was a little strange but familiar, "I don't want you to do it." It doesn't hurt your choice, I want you...to be famous in history and to last forever."

Ning Juan didn't dare to disturb his fingertips, the muscles on his face tensed, he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't care about being famous forever!"

He took a deep breath: "Didn't we face each other once? Huai Xue, the eyes of the world are not that important, what qualifications do they have to judge, this is between us!"

Lu Qing looked at the firm determination in his brows, dazed for a moment, and forced the corners of his mouth to twitch: "Is it worth it? For a half-dead sick person like me, I have to worry about it all the time. I'm still so many years older than you , you will regret later..."

"I won't regret it."

Ning Juan finally interrupted him once, grabbing his wrist, his eyebrows darkened: "I am willing, I am willing to be cheap, Lu Huaixue, you don't know, even if you stare at me, I will be so happy that I can dream, you just So underestimate my feelings for you? If that's what you're worried about, then I can tell you that what you're worried about will never happen. "

Lu Qing stared at him blankly, blinked, and suddenly felt something cold slip out of the corner of his eyes.

After a long while, he realized that those were the tears that were faltering in his eyes just now.

I cried?

Lu Qing thought blankly, he never cried for anyone, and those intense emotions seemed to be separated from him by a layer of water. He sank to the bottom of the water, watching the people on the bank cry with cold eyes, and the tears dripped into the long river. Suddenly, he was taken away without a trace.

He would mourn for others, but not cry for anyone.

Lu Qing touched the wet corners of his eyes in a daze, and his heart, which had been beating extremely violently before, suddenly became more intense, and said with difficulty: "Perhaps in your heart, I don't seem to have selfish desires, but I actually have many selfish desires... "

His rosy lips opened and closed a few times, and his voice was trembling: "Guoguo, I..."

"Don't call me that." Ning Juan moved his hand up, held his hand, and stroked his cheek, "Huaixue, call me Jiwei."

The last time Ning Juan wanted Lu Qing to call him by his name, Lu Qing didn't respond.

Ning Juan no longer called him teacher, but stubbornly called him by his name, in order to remind him constantly that they were no longer simply teachers and students, while Lu Qing only called Ning Juan His Majesty after he came back, and would always lead him with him. With a slight distance.

Lu Qing felt that his sanity seemed to have been burned away by the two glasses of wine, and his lips moved slightly.

Ning Juan clenched his hand, lowered his head impatiently, like a lost traveler in the desert, longing for a source of water, and repeated: "Huaixue, call me."

Lu Qing stared at those scorching black eyes for a long time, closed them, and said softly: "When we approach the gate of the city, I am thinking of you, Ji Wei."

Only then did he realize that he didn't want to see another person beside Ning Juan.

When the ending sound fell, Ning Juan's ecstatic kiss also fell. He kissed the tear mole at the corner of Lu Qingze's eyes hard, and his breath was short: "It is a mortal who has selfish desires. Huai Xue, be more selfish to me." Bar."

It is best to learn to be jealous and jealous because of him, and not willing to possess.

Ning Juan pressed his hand, fingers intertwined, inseparable, lips repeatedly kissed the fingertips of his other hand, like an order, also like a request: "Huaixue, try to accept me."

There were still a few traces of cold tears in Lu Qingze's eyes, but the blood all over his body was boiling, and he thought dimly:

He taught Chen Xiaodao that it is good to look up to the world.

At least at this moment, he and Ning Juan should be worthy of heaven and earth.

He and Ning Juan looked at each other for a long time, the tense nerves finally relaxed, nodded, and said, "Okay."

The response he got was no longer vague, and a smile finally appeared on Ning Juan's face.

When the wedding clothes on his body were stripped off, Lu Qing just flinched slightly, and didn't refuse any more.

Because of the intense emotion and alcohol, his face was intoxicatingly red, his eyelashes were wet, his light-colored pupils were washed clear and bright by tears, and the mole at the end of his eyes was stained red.

The bright red wedding dress set off that face even more, just like Ning Juan's guess from childhood to now, while Lu Qing looked better than ever after wearing the wedding dress.

This is the beauty that he can enjoy alone.

In the subtle sound of chains, when he completely possessed the plum fragrance, Ning Juan kissed Lu Qingze's frowning brows pitifully, and kept comforting him: "It's okay, it won't hurt soon..."

His bright moon finally fell into the billowing red dust.

He won the bet.

So Lu Qing belongs to him.
