Raising Wolves

Chen Xiaodao stayed in Lu's residence for two days, feeling very anxious.

After Lu Qing returned to the palace, there was no movement. He only heard some vague news. It seemed that something had really happened. Now that the defense is getting tighter, the commander who made it easier for him before can't be contacted.

Chen Xiaodao didn't come back alone. Lin Xi dispatched a team of soldiers to escort him back to Beijing, but everyone else went to Duke Wu's mansion. He stayed in Lu's mansion and couldn't get in touch with others.

He can be regarded as someone who has been on the battlefield, and he can feel that there are people guarding around the Lu residence, and he becomes more and more uneasy.

Regardless of whether something really happened to His Majesty, there is no doubt that His Majesty must have discovered his sneaky tricks.

Thinking that the young master is leaving again, how will His Majesty react?

And the leader...

Chen Xiaodao struggled for two days, and simply decided that if Lu Qing didn't come back tomorrow, he would leave the Lu residence.

It's better to be caught back than to wait for the news.

On the third day, Chen Xiaodao took a deep breath and stepped out of the gate of the Lu residence.

Sure enough, after stepping through the threshold, someone stepped forward, grabbed him away, and led him to Miyagi.

It’s over.

Why is it going in the direction of Miyagi?

If he was taken to Beizhen Fusi, at least he has a good relationship with Commander Zheng!

Even though he was mentally prepared, Chen Xiaodao was still a little apprehensive at the thought of facing His Majesty's indifferent face.

It was said outside that Zheng Yao, a vicious dog under His Majesty's command, can stop a child from crying at night like a bandit. He really felt that the person who said these words must have never seen His Majesty.

I don't know how the son is doing now?

Chen Xiaodao was beating his heart, and entered the palace with a few guards, it was rare that he didn't have a relationship with anyone.

After being taken all the way outside Jixuexuan, several guards let him go and signaled him to go in by himself.

Chen Xiaodao had also heard of Jixuexuan, and it was said that His Majesty specially repaired a palace for the new queen, and stayed here every night.

Full of worry, he walked in anxiously, and saw Chang Shun coming from the kitchen with a bowl of medicine.

As soon as the two bumped into each other, Chang Shun glanced at him up and down, and twitched the corner of his mouth in a vicious way: "Master Chen, you are really capable."

Seeing that he was holding the medicine, Chen Xiaodao was afraid that he would harm Lu Qingze, and felt even more uneasy: "What's wrong with the young master? Did your majesty do anything to the young master..."

Chang Shun deliberately shook his head and sighed, and put the medicine bowl into his hand: "Come in with our house."

Chen Xiaodao was tense all over, carrying the medicine and followed Changshun into the house.

There was a faint bitter smell of medicine in the room, but it was different from the horrible scene he had imagined.

Lu Qing, who hadn't seen him for three days, was leaning on the couch with a robe on his body - it was wide and empty, it didn't look like him, except that his face was pale, he seemed to be in good spirits, and he was flipping through a book in his hand. In the memorial, he frowned occasionally and gave a low cough, as if he had received some... punishment.

The robe on His Majesty's body went to nowhere. He was sitting aside, reviewing the memorial, and when he heard footsteps, he just glanced at it lightly: "Huaixue, it's time to take some medicine."

The room was covered with thick and soft blankets, while Lu Qing focused on looking at the folder in his hand, without noticing the sound of footsteps. He looked up and found Chen Xiaodao, and smiled slightly: "Is Xiaodao here?"

……

What's the situation with you two?

Chen Xiaodao looked at Changshun in a daze, trying to get an answer, but Changshun hung his head and ignored him.

Chen Xiaodao had no choice but to salute by himself: "Your majesty has seen His Majesty."

Ning Juan's cool eyes lingered on him for a few moments.

Although what Chen Xiaodao did made him extremely angry, but thinking about it from another angle, if it weren't for Chen Xiaodao, Lu Qing would not know how long it would take to break through that line of defense.

"Stay flat."

The last bit of anger in Ning Juan's heart disappeared, and he turned his gaze back to the memorial in front of him.

With a ruthless swipe of Vermilion's pen, she dismissed it.

Why does it look so peaceful?

Chen Xiaodao was still a little dazed, but when he heard Lu Qing cough again with his lips covered, he hurriedly sent the medicine over, worried: "It's not cold today, why is your son suffering from the cold again?"

Could it be that when he invited Lu Qingze out for a meeting that night, he caught a cold from the wind on the way?

Hearing Chen Xiaodao's concerned question, Lu Qing felt a little embarrassed and said vaguely, "It doesn't matter if you catch a cold at night."

What else could it be?

No matter how warm the water in the hot spring pool is, it is easy to catch cold when playing in the water at night.

When he just woke up yesterday, he was fine, but he had a little fever in the afternoon.

Originally, he wanted to see Chen Xiaodao yesterday, but Ning Juan stopped him. He drank the medicine and had a fever all night, and the fever subsided a little today.

His whole body was wilted, but the culprit who pulled him to play in the water was very good, and there was nothing wrong with him.

Ning Juan tried to take the medicine, and gave it to Lu Qingze himself, but Lu Qingze couldn't see his intention, so he slapped his hand away, took the medicine, took a breath, and then got up and said, "I'm going to give you medicine." Let Xiaodao go to the next door to talk in the warm pavilion, and His Majesty will deal with the playbook by himself first."

Ning Juan frowned, he didn't like Lu Qing being alone with others, especially talking behind his back.

At the moment when Lu Qing got up and passed Ning Juan, and was about to get out of bed, Chen Xiaodao clearly saw His Majesty's eyes half-closed, like a wolf planning to catch the prey in its mouth by the throat, as if it would be horrified in the next moment. With a leg blocking, when Lu Qingze was tripped by him, he pulled him into his arms and imprisoned him.

He was startled, but in the end Ning Juan still didn't move.

Everything seemed to be just his imagination.

Lu Qing stood firmly on the ground, stepping on the special slippers, taking advantage of His Majesty's unhappy head, and comforted him: "I'll be back to accompany you later."

Ning Juan's complexion turned from cloudy to sunny, and he obediently said "um".

Chen Xiaodao: "..."

Seeing Chen Xiaodao's dumbfounded look, Chang Shun seemed to see himself yesterday, and felt a little more at ease.

He wasn't the only one who was shocked after seeing Master Lu getting along with His Majesty.

He thought yesterday that His Majesty treated Mr. Lu so badly that the two of them were really going to tear their skins apart.

Unexpectedly, at night, His Majesty stopped sneaking around, but went into Mr. Lu's room openly, and was not kicked out.

It turned out to be a success.

……I don’t understand it, even if he read it all the way, he still doesn’t understand it.

Chang Shun thought rebelliously in his heart, he didn't know whether it should be said that His Majesty finally coaxed Master Lu to the dragon bed, or climbed into Master Lu's bed by himself.

Lu Qing dragged on his slippers and followed Chen Xiaodao to the Nuan Pavilion next door. Ning Juan asked someone to break through the walls of the Nuan Pavilion and the bedroom, walked outside, and arrived within a few steps.

There was no one else around, Chen Xiaodao babbled, and baldly asked a bunch of questions: "My lord, what happened after you came back that night? I heard that something happened in the palace outside, Your Majesty doesn't seem to be all right Is it? You and His Majesty are..."

Lu Qing poured him a cup of tea and signaled him not to get excited. When Chen Xiaodao seemed to calm down, he said after deliberation: "Something happened, but it doesn't matter for the time being. Your Majesty and I...we're talking about it." .”

From that night when Lu Qingze insisted on going back to the palace and entered the palace gate without looking back, Chen Xiaodao had a premonition, but when he heard Lu Qingze's last words, he still hissed lightly and held back. He couldn't help but lower his voice and ask: "Young Master, what are you doing, have you promised Your Majesty?"

Lu Qing paused and nodded.

Chen Xiaodao drank two sips of tea dully, and said, "Master, can I ask you a question?"

Lu Qing could vaguely guess what he wanted to ask, nodded and said, "Ask."

"You agreed to His Majesty because His Majesty didn't want to let go," Chen Xiaodao said more reservedly, without mentioning "forced", "Or because..."

Lu Qing raised his slightly drooping long eyelashes, and looked at Chen Xiaodao gently: "As you think."

Chen Xiaodao was stuck.

Lu Qing smiled: "Do you think we are strange?"

Chen Xiaodao thought for a while, and felt that it was not so difficult to accept. He shook his head and said, "How come, the young master is right for everything."

But he still had doubts, gritted his teeth, and said boldly: "But, young master, His Majesty is the king of a country after all, unlike you, in case His Majesty regrets his actions today, he can withdraw at any time. For the 72nd concubine of the Sixth Court of the Sangong, the officials in the court and the central government will only praise you, but you..."

Lu Qing knew what Chen Xiaodao was worried about. He shook his head, took a sip of tea, and washed away the bitter taste of the medicine in his mouth. Although his voice was soft, he was very firm: "If Ning Juan did that, he is not Ning Juan. gone."

Chen Xiaodao was stunned for a while, then scratched his head: "That's good, I see His Majesty's care and love for you... is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people."

After slightly digesting the matter of Lu Qingze, Chen Xiaodao didn't have time to think too much, and his heart suddenly trembled, and he quickly asked: "That's right, my son, where is Commander Zhou? All this is my fault, I will go and beg His Majesty for mercy!"

Lu Qing held him down and said, "Just as I was about to tell you about this, His Majesty's punishment for Commander Zhou has been handed down. He has been demoted to three levels and given a five-year penalty. Yesterday, the staff duty was completed, and he will have to be released after he has a little self-cultivation. Beijing."

Chen Xiaodao also understood in his heart that it was magnanimous for His Majesty to discover this matter, but he was still annoyed and blamed himself after hearing these punishments: "Blame me, it's all my fault, I thought His Majesty couldn't find out, he just believed I... I'm going to make amends!"

Lu Qing nodded and said: "I still have some money in the private treasury of the Lu Mansion, you can take it together."

After Ning Juan took power, he agreed to the cabinet minister Fan Xingyan's proposal and adjusted the salaries of officials at all levels.

In the past, the salary was too meager, and many down-to-earth officials struggled to make ends meet, thus breeding many corrupt officials.

Now the new salary system is much better, but the impact of the five-year penalty is still quite large. Rehabilitation and food and drink for the family are all problems.

Chen Xiaodao is his younger brother, Commander Zhou was convicted because of Chen Xiaodao, so he should help him as much as he can.

Chen Xiaodao refused: "I have some savings, and this matter was brought about by me alone, so you don't have to be burdened."

After all, seeing that Lu Qingze was really fine, Chen Xiaodao went out, charged Ning Juan with another crime, then took the sign to leave the palace, and hurried to Commander Zhou's house.

Lu Qing waited for a while, and then slowly returned to the bedroom from the Nuan Pavilion.

He didn't come back for a long time, and Ning Juan couldn't help but go over to see if he had run away. Seeing that he was still there, he was slightly relieved.

Lu Qing clenched his fist to his lips and coughed a few times: "I see your attitude just now, it seems that you are not angry anymore?"

Ning Juan raised his eyebrows and refused to admit it: "When did I get angry? Didn't I let Chen Xiaodao go yesterday?"

Don't let Lu Qing feel that he is narrow-minded.

Lu Qing glanced at him with a half-smile, and didn't try to expose it: "Yes, you are the most generous-it's been two days, and Ning Cong hasn't done anything yet?"

Ning Juan felt that the first half of his sentence was too perfunctory and dissatisfied, but he still replied: "According to his temperament, he will take action by tomorrow at the latest."

Lu Qing said "oh", took off his shoes and sat on the couch, still feeling sore all over, frowned and leaned on the big pillow, and took this memorial to help him read together.

The face of the person in front of him was as snowy as the moon, with a slightly sick face, but his color remained unchanged. The warm and fragrant plum fragrance came to his nostrils, making Ning Juan feel like he was about to move, and his throat was burning with thirst.

But the day before yesterday, he only came twice, and Lu Qing was like this. He could only barely hold back, like a big dog wandering around a seductive fleshy bone, but dared not bite it, so he could only lie down, Surround him with him and watch him carefully.

I lost my mind to read the notebook for a while, Ning Juan saw that his legs were curled up, looking uncomfortable, pulled his calf over, pressed his calf, and asked casually: "Yes, Huaixue, what's the matter?" I haven't asked you anything yet."

Lu Qing was pinched comfortably, and responded: "Huh?"

"You said back then," Ning Juan cared so much that it was already the limit to endure asking until now, "you had some students."

Lu Qing was silent for a while, raised his head, and kindly looked at His Majesty the emperor who was full of "I'm just asking, I don't care at all": "Why?"

Ning Juan: "...how many?"

Lu Qing pondered for a while: "Are you talking about a student who called me a teacher? Then I have to figure it out."

Ning Juan's subordinates paused.

How many students have there, still need to count? !

Lu Qing counted all the students who worked as part-time tutors from the university, the students who participated in the summer camp teaching, and the students who had taken several classes, and estimated a number: "There are so many, hundreds of them?"

Ning Juan: "..."

Lu Qing saw that Ning Juan's face changed in that instant, he didn't know how many colors, suppressed a smile in his heart, and kicked him lightly with his foot: "Why didn't you press it?"

Ning Juan continued to press Lu Qingze's calf silently. After a long time, he suddenly said, "But you only have me now."

He added stubbornly, "You also said that I am different from them."

Lu Qing felt that such Ning Juan was cute for no reason.

It's not the kind of cuteness you feel when you look at your younger brother with the eyes of an elder, or look at a student with the eyes of a teacher.

is another.

Ning Juan was usually indifferent and majestic in front of others, iron-blooded and ruthless, and the people under him didn't even dare to take a breath in front of him.

Besides him, who else would know what His Majesty is like in private?

Lu Qing blinked with a smile, moved the position under his body, and after a little hesitation, he leaned over and lightly "tweeted" Ning Juan's handsome cheek.

His Majesty the Emperor, who was still thinking about proving how special his status was, suddenly fell silent, his eyes widened slightly, and even his breathing froze.

This was the first time that Lu Qingze kissed him proactively.

Although the soft and cool lips just rubbed lightly and then left, as if a dragonfly had just touched water, Ning Juan felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction, his heart felt as if soaked in warm spring water, and his emotions swelled.

Not lust, to be warmer and softer.

The big welcoming pillow was not particularly comfortable to lean on, so Lu Qing changed his posture, leaned on Ning Juan, and continued to read the notebook calmly: "Ning Jiwei, don't be lazy, there is still a mountain in the study. "

This was also the first time that Lu Qingze approached so proactively.

Ning Juan was a little stiff all over, unable to react for a while.

Lu Qing didn't get a response. He thought that Ning Juan was still angry because he had hundreds of students. After thinking about it, he stretched out his hand and patted his back, and said softly, "You are different."

Except for Ning Juan, no one would like him so persistently and passionately, and it is impossible for him to accept the pursuit of any other student.

Ning Juan's throat was slightly choked, and he gave a low "um" sound. He did not dare to move his right body, and used his left hand to finish reviewing the rest of the playbook.

Chen Xiaodao's identity was not special, and he entered and left the palace for a round, but did not attract any attention.

Except Fan Xingyan.

Three days ago, on the night of the Qianyuan Festival, His Majesty was assassinated and injured, and temporarily rested from the court. Several cabinet ministers went to the palace every day to discuss matters in Wenyuan Pavilion, and then the imperial chief officer Chang Shun sent the memorial book back.

During the Qianyuan Festival, Fan Xingyan had some doubts about the identity of the "New Empress". After thinking about it for a while, he sent someone to watch near the Lu residence. As expected, he learned today that Chen Xiaodao was brought into the palace by His Majesty's people. inside.

Chen Xiaodao is the person next to Lu Qingze, what is His Majesty calling him into the palace suddenly?

He became more and more suspicious in his heart, and really wanted to see the empress again, and test whether it was really what he thought, but he didn't have the chance right now, so he could only forcefully suppress his doubts.

As Lu Qingze and Ning Juan expected, in the next few days, there will be changes in the Shu Palace.

During these few days in Beijing, Ning Cong's heart was ashamed.

After being passed out from the pain in the brothel that day, since he woke up, he didn't have the courage to look down at himself again.

However, the place where the pain ached all the time reminded him that his dignity as a man was gone.

The brothel was in a mess that day, and the guards rummaged on the ground for a long time before they found the bloody thing that had rolled into the corner. By the way, they put it in a treasure box with another thing. bedside.

Ning Cong felt heartbroken at one glance.

He is not a good-tempered person, and he will fall into a rage if there is any trouble in the past few days. When he sees a maid's eyes turn a little bit, he suspects that she is looking down at him and secretly laughs. The other party is deliberately showing off that he still has that stuff.

Because of his suspicions, quite a few people were executed in the Shu Palace these days, and there was a smell of blood in the backyard.

And outside the mansion there are people sent by the little emperor to monitor.

Ning Cong was full of resentment and hatred, he only hated that the capital was too far away from the middle of Shu, and he didn't bring enough people with him, so he could only hide in the palace and couldn't go out after being so shamed and humiliated.

As long as there is a chance, he will chop up Ning Juan and feed it to the dog, so that he can taste the same pain as him!

Until this day, Ning Cong finally felt that he had a chance.

Hearing that the little emperor had been assassinated, there were fewer people watching outside the Prince Shu's mansion, so he could send people out.

Ning Cong didn't even think about it, and immediately called the remaining people under his command to give orders.

After hearing his words, the people below looked at each other in blank dismay.

Not to mention the current gathering of forces in the capital, what will happen to the assassination of His Majesty.

The point is, His Majesty has already been assassinated, so the defense must be tighter!

Ning Cong watched them hesitate for a moment, and his expression became cold: "A group of useless things, now is the most suitable time. The dog emperor must think that no one will dare to assassinate again. They all smeared the most poisonous medicine in Sichuan on the blades. , I want him to die in agony!"

His face was contorted and ferocious, and he slammed the table: "Cut off his thing too, and bring it back to my king. I will eat it with wine tonight!"

The subordinates were speechless: "..."

This is not good.

But recently, the prince's temper has become more and more violent, and he even chopped off several of the most loyal guards. Several subordinates dared not say anything, but responded bravely: "This subordinate understands."

Ning Cong glanced at these subordinates, and sneered in his heart.

Seeing that he doesn't have that thing, he doesn't treat him like a man, right? His attitude has become more and more disrespectful recently!

When he came back, he cut up all these people before killing them.

Ning Cong threw down the parchment on the table: "The king of the map has drawn it for you. You only need to succeed, and you are not allowed to fail."

He grew up in the palace. When he was a teenager, he often caught some beautiful court ladies and eunuchs in different corners of the palace for lust. The low-status court ladies and eunuchs naturally did not dare to say anything when they encountered such things. No one knows better than him.

Thinking about the happy days in the past, and feeling the chilly weather below, Ning Cong's vicious killing intent became more and more churning.

What big plan, what big picture, what great cause, all are fake, is it important to have his stuff!

He must hear the news of Ning Juan's death tonight!

The people below did not dare to disobey Ning Cong's order, kowtowed, put away the map, and went down to prepare for the assassination plan.

The sky turned from bright to dark little by little. After night fell, Ning Cong drank the medicine made by the doctor of the Fuzhong with his nose, endured the pain and got down from the bed, looking forward to the good news from the Forbidden City.

No one in the palace dared to speak, and they would not approach Ning Cong if they could.

They all felt that the prince seemed to be crazy, and his mind was not clear enough.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a sudden commotion outside, as if someone walked through the second gate and walked quickly.

Ning Cong thought it was someone under his command who came back, his face flushed with excitement, and his pupils shrank suddenly as soon as he stepped out of the room.

Those who came back were not his subordinates, but a group of Tsing Yi Jin Yiwei.

The leader of the Jinyiwei was wearing a flying fish suit, holding an Xiuchun knife, and showed a sign: "Zheng Yao, the commander of the Jinyiwei, has met His Royal Highness the King of Shu."

Ning Juan's vicious dog is living Yan Luo Zheng Yao.

When did Ning Cong's back feel chills, the hands holding the door frame were trembling, and the cheeks twitched: "Trespassing in the Shu Palace in the middle of the night, Zheng Yao, are you looking for death!"

Zheng Yao raised his face and gave him a sneering smile mockingly: "Ning Cong, King of Shu, intended to assassinate His Majesty, the assassin confessed, and the poison on the knife, identified by the imperial physician, is unique in Shu—come here, Please 'invite' His Royal Highness the King of Shu back, and take the rest away!"

Send Xuexuan.

The surroundings were peaceful, and there was no atmosphere of being disturbed by the assassins at all.

Lu Qing and Ning Juan sat opposite each other, listening to the results of Xiao Jin's rough interrogation.

Those assassins sent by Ning Cong have long been disturbed by Ning Cong's particularly crazy and twisted behavior recently.

Especially when giving them orders, Ning Cong couldn't hide the murderous look in his eyes.

At the moment of being caught and exposed, several assassins hesitated whether it was worth it or not, and did not immediately bite off the poison between their teeth, so this time they were caught alive, which was more convenient for Lu Qingze and Ning Juan's plan.

After just a short interrogation, the few remaining assassins recruited a lot, and even repeated the words of the king of Shu when he ordered them.

After Xiao Jin finished talking, he stopped talking, didn't dare to repeat those words, and just lowered his head and presented the pleading paper.

Lu Qing enthusiastically came over to watch it together.

After only two glances, he couldn't help but choked and almost spit out the tea.

As expected of Ning Cong, even the assassination has to do some tricks.

Ning Juan naturally also saw that sentence, his face was covered with a layer of cold, disgusting enough.

Lu Qing felt that Ning Cong probably lost his big treasure, and his whole person was perverted. The more he thought about it, the happier he was, and he leaned into Ning Juan's ear, and with a voice that only two people could hear, he said with a low smile, "Your Majesty, the How does it feel to be missed?"

"..." Ning Juan calmly threw down the pleading paper, "Retrial, the pleading paper handed in next time should be more detailed."

Xiao Jin knew what to detail and what to do, kowtowed silently, put away the pleadings, and continued the interrogation as if fleeing.

When they left, Lu Qing was also ready to slip away.

But he was grabbed by the waist and brought back.

Ning Juan stared at him without blinking, with a serious face: "Don't worry, it's all yours."

Lu Qingze: "..."

Didn't even want to ask what was his.

He opened Ning Juan's hand with a calm expression: "Ning Cong has already entered the net, you should go to bed early tomorrow, so sleep separately tonight."

And not just because of the heat.

These two days and one night, even if he couldn't do anything, Ning Juan couldn't stop holding him.

Every time he bumped into Ning Juan's eyes inadvertently, he would be burned by the heat hidden in those dark eyes.

Ning Juan didn't let him go, but grabbed his fingers and rubbed them slowly, but he was intimate but not frivolous, which made Lu Qing itch from his fingertips to his heart.

He lowered his head and kissed Lu Qingze's fingers, and said slowly, "Teacher."

Lu Qing hasn't heard Ning Juan call himself that for a long time.

Especially when the atmosphere between the two is ambiguous.

He tilted his head uncomfortably, his eyelashes trembling: "...don't call me that."

Ning Juan reached out and turned his face forcefully: "Don't hide."

Lu Qing was forced to look directly at him, and met those dark eyes again.

Ning Juan smiled slightly at him, not hiding the scorching heat in his eyes.

"Teacher, to accept me, you must look directly at all my desires for you."

The author has something to say:

Ning Juan: Gradually realized that calling a teacher is more effective at certain moments.

A (?) bloody murder
