Raising Wolves

Vol 2 Chapter 53:

In the dark room, the rapid breathing stopped suddenly, and the cold wind poured in.

The moment Lu Qingze pulled his hand away, Ning Yan's eyelashes trembled.

A few moments ago, the fiery heart that was still beating rapidly was suddenly empty, and the cold wind seemed to blow through the empty heart, asking him to smack Lu Qingze's faint voice, "I can't see things clearly, and I can't speak clearly." Some want to laugh.

Did the teacher notice?

When he noticed it, his first reaction was to leave without hesitation, feeling that he was talking nonsense.

He sat stiffly beside the bed, expressionless on his face, coldly watching the familiar figure groping through the darkness to find the lamp, his eyes were filled with thick ink that could not be melted, and he silently clenched his fists.

After a few breaths, the room suddenly lit up.

The warm yellow candlelight was beaten by the wind, swaying and sketching the thin and thin lines of the people at the table, hidden in the flickering and darkening.

Lu Qing could clearly feel Ning Lian's gaze falling on him.

Existence is too clear.

But he is not in the mood to coax the child now and needs to calm down.

Lu Qing lived two lifetimes, only two times when his brain was blank, and he didn't know how to deal with things for a while, all because of Ning Juan.

After lighting the lamp, he did not look back at Ning Juan, nor did he leave the dormitory immediately, but turned around and walked to the window and closed the window.

Ning Wancai's heartbeat was fast, abnormally fast.

He stared at him and said ambiguous words.

If he hadn't been too self-assured... then it would have been a bit of a problem.

calm.

Lu Qing warned himself in his heart, his fingertips trembled a little.

He treats Ning Juan as a child and feels that he is "like a teacher and a father", but the age gap between them is actually only seven years old.

What's more, Ning Juan matures much earlier than teenagers of this age.

And he looks okay.

Although he was sick and thin, there was nothing to see.

Lu Qing closed a window numbly.

A young boy in adolescence is a time of restlessness.

Since childhood, he felt insecure, and the person he trusted most was the teacher who grew up with him, taught him to read and write, planned strategies, and protected him.

It would indeed be easy to get his feelings wrong, especially when he tied all his desire for warmth to one person.

By the way, there is also Ning Cong, the king of Shu who should have been whipped countless times.

Ning Juan was misled by this uncle when he was in his teens.

Seventeen-year-old Ning Juan is not naive if you say naive, but if you want to say mature, he is not mature enough, especially in terms of emotions, he will dislocate emotions such as attachment and reverence, become curious about him, and then breed some strange, It's normal to have a bit of possessive disorder.

It's just an illusion, he is Ning Juan's teacher, what needs to be done at this time is to guide and correct.

Even if Ning Juan really had any thoughts, he had to kill it as soon as possible.

They are teachers and students.

Countless psychological analyses ran through his mind, and Lu Qing took a deep breath. While he felt calm, his mind was still confused, and he closed the window again.

In previous interviews, how did he answer and how did he deal with this kind of question?

Can not be avoided, it will hurt the child's heart.

Then explain it frankly and openly, help him analyze his psychology, let him understand what his feelings are, and then...

Lu Qing thought about it step by step in his heart, and was about to continue closing the window when his hand was suddenly held down.

The hand that was on his hand was slender and strong, but it was just cold, no longer as hot as it used to be.

The boy's low and calm voice sounded behind him: "Teacher, this is the Baibao Pavilion. Although you lift it up, it's fine, but the china above it hits the ground too loudly, and it will scare you."

Lu Qing suddenly came back to his senses, the fingers on the back of his hands were obviously not warm, and his hands were still scalded. He looked up and found that he was walking and walking, and he had already walked to the Baibao Pavilion.

"It's nothing to lift" is a very light thing to say - the things on it, which are not rare treasures that are priceless, even a small vase is invaluable.

He looked back calmly: "Why did you get up?"

Ning Juan's expression was the same as usual, with a smile that was not different from the past: "It's rare to see the teacher dumbfounded. I want to scare you, and I've been lying down for two days, and I want to get down and walk."

Lu Qingze: "..."

Why does he look like he's nothing.

The opening remarks he prepared were all choked back by Ning Juan's attitude, so he had to push Ning Juan onto the couch and sit, recalling the young man's rapid heartbeat, and feeling that it was necessary to talk about it again. .

Even if the meaning is vague and people are misunderstood, the heartbeat will never lie.

I can't let this little brat get through.

Just to take the initiative to bring this up, Lu Qing was a little awkward.

He has lived for two lifetimes, because of physical problems, he has always been pure-hearted and has few desires. He has never been exposed to this aspect, and his experience is actually zero.

But he was older than Ning Huan, and he should take the initiative to clarify this kind of thing.

Lu Qingze paused for a while, but then opened his mouth: "Guoguo, you just now..."

"Is the teacher still angry?" Ning Juan sat down and tilted his head to look at him, "It's really my fault for hiding you, I'll discuss it with the teacher next time, don't get angry, okay?"

The ending sound was pitifully lowered, making people unable to bear the scolding.

Lu Qing was dumbfounded for a moment: "Who told you this, I'm not angry. I mean, you just..."

"Does the teacher care about my body?"

Ning Juan rushes to answer again, probably because the Luohan couch is not very comfortable to lie on, he is half leaning on the couch, one long leg rests lazily on the edge, and the other leg swings down, full of youthful air, and his tone is very casual: " Xu Shu's medicine will make me feel flustered and thirsty occasionally, but it's not a big deal."

Lu Qing was stunned, because Ning Juan's performance was too understated, he couldn't even remember that Ning Juan was poisoned by a poison that even the entire hospital was helpless.

Probably because of delaying the time and leaving the Taiyuan Hospital temporarily unsolved, such a sinister poison was administered.

Ning Juan has always been cruel to himself and to the enemy.

...is it really because of poisoning?

Then, how to explain that.

The low, inaudible "you" still feels like a thunderbolt on the ground when I think of it, and it is thrilling in the silence.

Seeing Lu Qing, he scrutinized himself without saying a word, and Ning Wan looked back at him flatly: "As for that hairpin, the teacher doesn't have to mind, I'm no longer the incompetent and ignorant kid I used to be, and I really don't need it, although I have borrowed it. The opportunity is to use Xu Shu's mind, but more, it is indeed for my mother, and Xu Shu will also get the corresponding compensation after the event is completed..."

Speaking, he frowned: "Teacher, I hurt so much."

From his demeanor to his tone, he was extremely natural, and at the end he even skillfully acted like a spoiled brat.

Lu Qing almost softened because of his heartache. After examining for a long time, he could not find any flaws in him.

Is it his illusion, or is he too self-motivated, thinking that everyone will think about him because of this face?

Or Ning Juan's acting is too good.

It was difficult for Lu Qing to determine for a while.

But the belly draft just made, under the confusion of Ning Juan's call, it is indeed impossible to say it.

After a while, Lu Qing pointed to the outside: "I asked Changshun to prepare hot water, and it should be able to be brought in now. You go to take a bath, come back and rest, I will finish the military and political affairs of the past few days during the day. , come back tonight and let you know."

Ning Juan nodded obediently and got up from the couch, his footsteps not as steady as usual due to the pain after the poison.

When the two got closer, Lu Qing almost had a hunch that Ning Juan would fall to him in the next second.

The atmosphere is like a sudden and straight line, shaky.

His nerves also tightened slightly.

However, in the next instant, the young man passed him by, only his fingertips touched each other unconsciously, but in that instant, they separated again.

Lu Qing was inexplicably relieved.

Sure enough, he was self-indulgent.

He didn't see that Ning Yan turned his back, the smile on his face vanished cleanly, and the dark bottom of his long and narrow eyes spread.

Just now, Lu Qing only showed a little clue, and Lu Qing couldn't wait to withdraw and leave him.

Therefore, he can't reveal his mind now and scare Lu Qing away.

He had to be patient, be patient, and weave a natural trap before Lu Qing stepped in unprepared.

Changshun was always worried, afraid that he would use force against Lu Qing.

He is also worried.

If Lu Qing really ran away, he was not sure what he would do.

If Lu Qing is obedient, he doesn't mind being a well-behaved puppy in front of him all the time.

teacher.

Ning Juan walked to the door of the palace with a blank expression, and knocked on the door three times.

You'd better not find yourself guilty.

When Changshun came in, he happened to meet the face of His Majesty the Emperor, who seemed to have been refrigerated in the ice cellar for 18 years.

Isn't Master Lu inside, why is he still looking murderous!

Ning Juan's face was cold, but his tone was calm: "Pass the hot water."

Lu Qing listened from a distance and felt fine.

That night in Lin'an Mansion, when Ning Juan found out that he and Duan Lingguang had a private meeting, maybe he felt betrayed - after all, Ning Juan hated being betrayed the most in his life. What intense emotions are there.

His Majesty the Emperor is precious and precious, and it is inevitable that he has the mentality of "those who go against me will die". If he really has any thoughts about him, he should not be so calm.

But whether it was true or not, he had to be on guard.

He cultivated the emperor well, and wanted to teach a wise man, not to raise a wolf who would only bite back.

In the future, I can no longer pay attention to distance like before, and I have to give Ning Juan a correct view of love.

A few years ago, I felt that the child was still young and he had no experience himself, so he rarely talked about this aspect.

Now that Ning Juan has grown up, it's time to learn these things.

While thinking about it, Lu Qing put his bedding on the couch and put it on the couch. He pulled a thread, crossed the screen, tied it between the bed and the couch, and hung a bell.

After Ning Juan came back after grooming, seeing all this, he was a little silent: "What is the teacher doing?"

In order to prevent the little brat from getting angry, his heart softened in the middle, Lu Qing had already lay down on the couch, tucked into the quilt, closed his eyes as if drowsy, and said lazily: "If you have anything to do at night, just dial it. Line, the bell rings, and I'll know."

Ning Lan: "…"

Ning Juan gritted his teeth secretly, his canines were itchy, staring at Lu Qingze.

Even though he was so afraid of the heat, he was still dressed tightly, with overlapping collars, blocking all the scenery, only a thin and slender neck was exposed, which looked as white as a washed lotus root under the candlelight. , looks very bitten.

But in the end, Ning Juan just smiled freely: "Okay."

Both of them couldn't close their eyes very much that night.

Early the next morning, Lu Qing woke up from his sleep, got out of bed lightly, put away the line and bell, and leaned over to look at Ning Juan.

The boy had fallen into a drowsiness again, his brows furrowed, as if he was in a nightmare.

Lu Qing gently smoothed his brows, left the bedroom quietly, washed in the warm pavilion next to him, asked Changshun for a pen and paper, and thought for a while.

General Shi had been chilling to the imperial court for a long time. If he sent a letter and bluntly said that he had found the little prince, I am afraid that he would not be trusted.

After thinking about it, he didn't write directly, he picked up the pen to outline, and based on his memories, he drew the jade pendant on Lin Xi's body. Changshun sent people to the Lu Mansion to get the court clothes.

After breakfast, the ink on the paper dried up, he folded the letter, stuffed it into the envelope, walked out of the warm pavilion, and handed it to Xiao Jin: "Please send this letter to Mobei, and it must be handed over to General Shi. "

Xiao Jin received the letter: "Yes!"

Mobei was busy with military affairs. When he returned to Beijing, he heard that General Shi had already led his troops to Oara. Yesterday, he received the military report, and the battle was almost over. It was just in time to receive this letter.

Lu Qing put on his mask, and after watching Xiao Jin leave, he went to Wenyuan Pavilion again under the guard of Jin Yiwei.

Several cabinet ministers also arrived at about the same time. Seeing that Lu Qingze came on time, they all smirked.

This sick seedling, in the past, would have to pass out every three days and drink medicine, why hasn't he collapsed yet?

Lu Qing not only did not fall down, but he was quite energetic when he played right, and he had a lot of leeway.

The Wenyuan Pavilion was quiet, while Lu Qing flipped through the memorials prepared by the cabinet ministers and asked lightly, "Mr. Qiu Rongwei, a member of the Ministry of Rites, and his colleagues are drunk and **** prostitutes.

"Yan Quanming, the son of Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, rode a horse in the street and trampled the vegetable seller to death. After being taken to prison, he was released in just two days. The Ministry of Punishment said that the vegetable seller's family was blackmailing. In that case, let Beizhen apprehend him. The Secretary will check to see if it is blackmail."

"The Ministry of Industry spent 3 million taels on the 20th of last month. The detailed purpose and whereabouts have not been disclosed. Let Yang Shangshu hand over a memorial to clarify it."

"The autumn hunting list proposed by the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple was rejected and reworked."

"The imperial censor, Sun An, advises, and Liu Pingyuan, the prefect of Tai'an, pays tribute to Lu Wei Xingbing, the chief of staff..."

Lu Qingze's voice is very stable, clear and light, neither high nor low, always maintained on a line, and his voice is clear and pleasant to the ears.

But at this moment, it got into the ear, but it made everyone burst into a big head.

Those who are not listed and not dealt with, apart from having something to do with them, what other reasons can there be?

Lu Qing looked at people softly, how could he act so smooth!

But after this incident, it can be seen that Lu Qing is not as peaceful and elegant as he looks on the surface.

They can only force their dissatisfaction.

From early morning to noon, everyone rested for a while, and the palace servants who were serving came forward and served tea.

Lu Qing lowered his head and took a sip of tea, moistening his dry throat, and glanced at Wei Herong, who had been leisurely.

Several other cabinet ministers felt that he had grabbed the power and suppressed them, and felt dissatisfied in their hearts. Wei Herong, the first assistant who had been in power for many years, seemed to have no opinion.

Isn't he afraid?

No matter what kind of person in power, there should be fear of losing power.

Especially Wei Herong, Quan Nian with such an unjustified name, the day when he loses power will be the time of his burial.

Lu Qing was rubbing the tea cup, thinking about it, a little **** came outside, his face full of joy: "Lord Lu! Eunuch Changshun sent me to tell you that the medicines of several imperial physicians worked, and His Majesty woke up only After a while, Imperial Physician Chen said that he has a direction, and it is only a matter of time to clean up the residual poison!"

As soon as these words came out, except for Lu Qingze, Feng Gelao and Wei Herong, the eyes of everyone else could not hide their disappointment.

This little emperor has a big fate.

Although this play was not arranged by Lu Qingze, it was within his expectations.

Although Wei Herong couldn't let Chen Ke play with the medicine, he could order Chen Ke to deliberately interfere with the thoughts of other imperial physicians, so that they could not find the direction of detoxification for a while.

Now Wei Herong needs the imperial physician to play a role and can detoxify, so let Chen Ke lead the imperial physicians back to the right direction. In this way, Xu Shu can "ineffective" and hand over to the Ministry of Punishment for execution, otherwise it will be Wei Herong's hand , nor reach the edict.

Wei Herong was completely taken aback.

Lu Qing stood up abruptly, showing a relieved smile: "That's fine, that's fine, did your majesty say anything?"

The little **** lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty was not very energetic when he woke up. He fell asleep again without saying anything, but his face was much better than the previous two days."

Lu Qing raised his foot and wanted to rush to the Qianqing Palace to see, but he stopped, and looked at the ministers behind him with a little hesitation.

Except for Foreigner Feng Ge, the others wished him to get out of the way, showing a reserved smile: "Master Lu, since Your Majesty has been awake for a while, maybe he will wake up again, do you want to go take a look?"

"Yeah, I'll wait until I've dealt with these notes before sending them to the Qianqing Palace."

"Seeing that your face is not good, I'm afraid you are tired. If you are tired, what should you do?"

Lu Qing showed a deep thought, and then sat back moved, with a firm tone: "You adults are already old, you are devoted to your duties, and you are so considerate of myself as a young man, how can I leave and take care of all the heavy things. Leave it to you? Your Majesty has the entire imperial hospital to watch. I can't detoxify your Majesty when I go. I might as well do two more things for Majesty, and when Majesty wakes up, you can be relieved. Come on, let's continue."

Several of the guards were completely blinded by his words "do two more things for Your Majesty", and they were speechless. After all the words were said to Lu Qing, and then urged Lu Qing to leave, it seemed to make him do less. Your Majesty is doing business.

It's better not to speak just now and let him go by himself!

Wei Herong, as the first assistant, sat closest to Lu Qingze, smiled and said in a low voice, "It seems that Taifu Lu is in a good mood, and he has the heart to tease them."

Lu Qing didn't know Wei Herong's intention to speak, took another sip of tea, and said calmly: "Your Majesty has improved, I am naturally in a good mood. I see Wei Shoufu's expression is happy, did I also encounter something good? "

Seeing that the topic was brought to him, Wei Herong smiled and said naturally, "Of course it's also because Your Majesty is very happy to see him."

After a pause, Wei Herong also picked up the tea in front of him and looked at the floating tea leaves inside with a deep smile: "Your Majesty and Mrs. Lu have a deep relationship, and you must be anxious to see you when you wake up. It's okay for Mr. Lu to not go back. ?"

Lu Qing heard something was wrong and looked at him kindly.

It's not an illusion, Wei Herong deliberately emphasized the words "love and meaning".

Ning Juan treated him in front of outsiders, at most, he was a respectful teacher.

Where did he see his deep affection?

There are very few palace people in the Qianqing Palace, and all of them have been traced to the eighteenth generations of their ancestors. All of them are from innocent backgrounds, and they rarely get close to the South Study and the bedroom. The guards in charge of guarding Jinyiwei have also been screened. Several imperial physicians lived in the side hall for two days, and the rest can be ensured. How could Wei Herong see him and Ning Juan get along normally.

Is that what happened in Jiangyou?

He was suspected of being infected with the virus, and Chen Ke misdiagnosed. Ning Juan rushed to his side regardless of the danger, took care of him hand in hand, and guarded him for several days in confusion.

It's truly a sentimental one.

It's just that Wei Herong's tone makes people uncomfortable.

It reminded Lu Qing of the burning gaze of the young man he faced in the dark last night.

Lu Qing's tone was indifferent: "Your Majesty wakes up and wants to see me, so I won't worry about it."

After speaking, he stopped looking at him, picked up the playbook again and looked over.

They changed their strategy because of Chen Ke, temporarily shelving the affairs of Pan Jingmin and the ledger, but they did not move, Wei Herong would also find out that something was wrong, and maybe they realized that they had discovered that Chen Ke was an internal thief.

That ledger that was finally obtained, even if there is no way to defeat Wei Herong, it should show some light and heat.

Lu Qing thought of two things. After finishing today's memorial, it was already dark. He said goodbye to a few patriarchs, and calmly sat on the sedan chair and returned to the Qianqing Palace.

Not long after arriving at the Qianqing Palace, someone came to send a letter: "Master Lu, someone from the Ministry of Punishment has brought Doctor Xu away."

Lu Qing raised his eyebrows: "So anxious? How is Wei Qiao?"

"It shouldn't be good. Qin Yuanan was on duty yesterday and wanted to see Weiqiao, but was stopped."

Qin Yuanan, the son of Qin Hui, the censor of the Zuodu capital, and Wei Qiao are bamboo horses. When Wei Qiao was in better health, Wei Herong probably wanted to make him a little happier, and would allow Qin Yuanan to enter the front yard of Wei Mansion once in a while to talk to Wei Qiao. .

If he didn't see him behind closed doors, it should be because Wei Qiao's health was not good.

No wonder Wei Herong was suddenly impatient and wanted to bring Xu Shu back sooner.

Although he is an out-and-out big traitor who holds great power and privately forms gangs, colludes with the top and bottom to accumulate wealth, and ignores the people and ignores the law, he is extremely concerned about his only son.

However, considering only his own bloodline as a human being, not others, Lu Qing would not be deeply moved by such cuddling affection, and only shook his head, making people pay attention to the dynamics of the three parties of Weifu, Qin Yuanan and the Ministry of Punishment. , then took out a list, wrote down a few names, and handed it to Jin Yiwei who came to report: "Let Master Zheng check these people, the more detailed the better."

"Yes!"

Chang Shun stared at Lu Qingze from the side, always feeling that he was somewhat similar to Ning Juan when he was giving orders.

In fact, the temperaments of the two are very different. Your Majesty is like a sharp sword that is out of its sheath, shining with cold light, and you can't help but want to worship, while Master Lu is like a spring breeze. Although his tone is calm, he is very powerful. , slow and slow, as if nothing could make him anxious.

But it's very similar.

Chang Shun murmured in his heart, maybe it was a teacher-student relationship?

Seeing that Lu Qing was done with his work, Chang Shun came up and said, "Master Lu, will you feed your majesty some medicine?"

The calm Lu Qing paused for a while: "I want to take a bath first, Changshun, go and feed your majesty."

"We can't feed it in our house, but His Majesty refuses to drink any medicine given by others." Chang Shun scratched his head, vaguely guessing the reason why His Majesty's face was cold last night, and asked carefully, "Lord Lu, are you right? Have you quarreled with Your Majesty again?"

again?

Lu Qing thought about it for a while, he and Ning Juan did often have conflicts during this time.

But last night didn't count. It was barely a peaceful settlement.

He was just... a little worried that Ning Juan looked into his eyes after waking up.

Always so serious, enthusiastic and bright, he even had the illusion that he was looking at the whole world, especially like a puppy wagging its tail.

And today Wei Herong's very meaningful words always made him uncomfortable.

"No noise." Lu Qing hesitated for a while, "Has the medicine cooled down? Give it to me, I'll feed it."

Chang Shun immediately smiled, and rushed to deliver the medicine.

Lu Qing returned to the familiar bedroom with the medicine, and looked at the sleeping young emperor. This time, he didn't hold him in his arms, but just raised his head and fed the medicine.

Ning Juan woke up faster than ever, and woke up a quarter of an hour earlier today than yesterday.

The moment he woke up, he subconsciously chased Lu Qingze who was sitting at the table, his eyes lit up, and he smiled: "Teacher."

Lu Qing turned his fingertips around the tea cup, and smiled at him, and then talked about some big and small matters that he had dealt with today, the big ones in detail, the small ones briefly, focusing on the letter sent to Mobei and the other. Wei Herong's attitude.

Ning Juan had just woken up, and he was not confused when he received this information. He asked Lu Qingze a few words along the way, showing a look of relief: "Teacher has worked hard for the past two days, not only to deal with government affairs, but also to be with Wei Herong. Flow around."

"It's okay, it's quite interesting and not tiring. I also saw a few manuscripts today. I implore Your Majesty to draft the draft as soon as possible and manage the harem immediately. I rejected it."

Lu Qing pondered on love education, and said, "But you have grown up, so it's normal to think about these things."

Ning Juan asked, "What do you think?"

Lu Qing looked up at him: "Does Guoguo have a girl she likes, the kind you want to spend a lifetime with?"
