Vol 2 Chapter 76
Before falling asleep, Lu Qingze’s mood fluctuated greatly, but he didn’t expect that he slept well this time. His cold hands and feet were put into a warm embrace, so this sleep was peaceful and stable, like floating in water. The uncertain duckweed suddenly caught the root.
When I woke up, my spirit had recovered a lot.
Chang Shun was still standing outside, and when he heard the sound, he raised his head and saw Lu Qing lifted the curtain of the bed and walked out.
“Master Lu, you’re awake,” Changshun didn’t dare to look any further, and lowered his eyes, “Would you like to have lunch first?”
Now that Ning Juan had discovered it, it was almost impossible to escape now.
Lu Qing had no strength, nodded weakly, and waited for Changshun to bring his lunch, took a shower, and sat down to drink porridge slowly.
Changshun saw his face was clear and cold, and he was not in a good mood. He hesitated for a while, and then swallowed the words he said.
Lord Lu is still angry at the moment. If he speaks good words for His Majesty, it will not be of any use to follow Lord Lu’s temper. On the contrary, it will make Lord Lu not even want to listen to his words.
After eating, Lu Qing felt that he had regained some strength, picked up 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 any longer.
Chang Shun hurriedly smiled and said, “Your Majesty is afraid of disturbing you, so he is approving the manuscript in the study, you come with me.”
Lu Qing didn’t speak, picked up a robe and put it on at random, and followed Changshun out.
When he woke up yesterday, he happened to bump into Ning Juan and went crazy, and he didn’t have time to observe. Today, he found out that this place does not seem to be the Qianqing Palace, nor is it any other palace he is familiar with.
There are many plum blossoms in the yard, and the fragrance collides and floats in the air.
The study was in the west side of the room. When Lu Qing stepped in, he saw several palace servants carrying a plaque from the inside. Since the plaque was facing him, he could not see the words mentioned on it. .
Ning Juan was in the study and put down the wolf in his hand.
Lu Qing sighed in his heart, His Majesty the Emperor personally bestowed the calligraphy treasure, and I don’t know which favored minister was honored.
As soon as Ning Juan raised his head, he saw Lu Qing walked in wrapped in a robe, his long black hair was loose, his normally bloodless lips were extremely red, his eyebrows were deeply frowned, and his eyes were shining.
Probably Lu Qingze didn’t realize that the robe belonged to him.
His eyes darkened, and he waved the others away, looking at Lu Qing without saying a word.
The fully mature His Majesty the Emperor just stood there, with a faint indifference to his majesty.
Like the mad dog last night wasn’t him.
Lu Qing faced this grown-up Ning Juan, and he felt a little awkward.
He could clearly feel the deep gaze of Ning Wantan falling on him, with a hidden warmth and desire.
In the past, he was more aware of the boy’s impatient possessiveness and desire for him, but now… Ning Juan seems to have changed.
Can’t say what has changed, but it has.
“…Where’s Qian Mingming?” Lu Qingze and Ning Juan faced off for a while, but he spoke first.
When it comes to this person, Ning Juan’s mood is a little hazy.
According to the news handed by Jin Yiwei, perhaps three years ago, Lu Qing left the north under the protection of Duan Lingguang.
When he asked Jin Yiwei to grab Duan Lingguang from the cargo ship, Lu Qing hid on it.
He just passed by with Lu Qingze.
The only thing that made him feel better was that Lu Qing did not stay by Duan Lingguang’s side in recent years, but went to other places to swim.
If Lu Qing was hiding beside Duan Lingguang, facing him every night, he might not be able to be so calm.
“I will do what I promised you.”
Ning Juan slowly walked to Lu Qingze’s side and reached out to his neck: “I won’t kill him, nor will I implicate Duan Lingguang.”
But don’t think too much.
Duan Lingguang’s actions have touched his inverse scales.
Lu Qing’s brows furrowed deeper, and he unceremoniously opened Ning Juan’s hand with a “snap”: “Don’t attack Duan Lingguang, no means are allowed.”
Ning Juan paused for a while, not thinking about it or not, and coaxed in a low voice, “Let me see the wound.”
Lu Qing said coldly: “Who are you pretending to be now, don’t you go crazy?”
It was the first time that Ning Juan saw Lu Qingze with such a big temper. He couldn’t stop laughing a few times, and then, under Lu Qingze’s increasingly icy gaze, he grabbed his hand and didn’t let him block it. Grabbing his collar, he opened his eyes.
On the back of the snow-white neck, deep tooth marks still remain.
Bite a little deeper and it’s time to break the skin.
Ning Yan felt a little satisfied, and lightly rubbed the tooth mark with his fingertips, and said to himself, “It’s good if it’s still there, otherwise it’s time to make it up.”
Lu Qing thought that Ning Juan had passed one night, but suddenly he realized that he felt ashamed for the mad dog’s behavior last night. He didn’t expect Ning Juan to check the bite marks to make up for it!
He angrily patted Ning Juan’s hand away again and blurted out a curse: “Are you sick?”
Ning Juan was still not angry: “Yes, but why do you think I am sick?”
His eyes were a little red, like grievance and anger, 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? ”
The dignified emperor, it’s okay to be scolded by others. He compares himself to a dog. Lu Qing was dumbfounded for a while, before saying, “Why did I make such a decision, you should be clear in your heart.”
Ning Juan stared at him gloomily and said in a low voice: “Is my feelings so unbearable for you?”
Lu Qing shook his head subconsciously: “You just…”
Just why, he couldn’t say it.
Three years ago, Ning Juan was just a young boy under the age of 18. He was able to take charge of political affairs, but he was still emotionally ignorant.
He could keep telling himself that Ning Juan did like him somewhat, but he was more dependent and possessive of him than he liked. As long as he stayed away from him and cut off his thoughts, Ning Juan would understand.
But three years later, Ning Juan still likes him.
I haven’t forgotten him, nor have I forgotten that feeling.
It was difficult for him to ignore Ning Wan’s eyes looking at him.
It’s not disgust, it’s just making him feel flustered.
Lu Qingze’s eyelashes trembled, he has always kept his mind calm, and he has rarely been disturbed like this. He wanted to escape, but was blocked by Ning Lian. He moved his lips and shook his head: ” This is not right, Your Majesty, you should not treat me…”
“Teacher didn’t tell me that there is nothing in this world that should or shouldn’t be.” Ning Jian interrupted him, approaching step by step, aggressively, “Why do you have to put shackles on yourself?”
Lu Qing couldn’t bear it any longer: “I grew up watching you, how do you want me to see you?”
“You don’t need to think so much, just look straight at me.” Ning Wan stopped his momentum in an instant, like a big dog that suddenly became docile, and said in a low voice, “Huixue, I have grown up.”
Lu Qingze’s breathing was heavy, then he pulled away and left.
After walking out of the small study, Lu Qing suddenly realized that his palms were slightly wet with sweat. When facing Ning Juan, he couldn’t go to the office with the attitude of a high-ranking elder like before. Education, correction, but felt nervous.
Lu Qing rubbed his temples and took a few deep breaths before he stabilized his mind, suspecting 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 simply walked into the plum garden, and suddenly heard a thumping noise outside, not knowing what he was doing, and glanced at it, only to find that he was changing the plaque of this residence.
Lu Qingze just remembered that when he entered the study, Ning Juan seemed to have written some plaque. He thought it was a calligraphy gift to a minister, but he didn’t expect that it was actually an inscription here?
He was in the mood to be bored, and he was not in the mood to look at it. The wind was cold in March, probably because Ning Juan ordered it, Chang Shun quickly ran over with the big cloak: “Oh, Master Lu, Doctor Xu told you not to catch cold any more. Come in and hide from the wind.”
Lu Qing glanced over there again, retracted his gaze, hummed hoarsely, and followed Changshun into the bedroom.
Changshun looked at his face much better than when he woke up in the morning, the look that he wanted to slash with a knife, guessing that the two of them probably didn’t quarrel in the study just now, but Master Lu still had some lumps in his heart and lowered his voice. : “Master Lu, we haven’t told you yet that your Majesty is very sad during the days you left.”
Of course Lu Qing knew that this **** would be sad and did not speak.
Changshun sighed and said, “You don’t know, when I heard that you were stabbed the other day, His Majesty ignored the dissuasion and rushed to the post house overnight. He heard from Commander Zheng that it was freezing cold at the time, and His Majesty seemed to be stunned. He was unwilling to let go of the charred corpse, and finally vomited a mouthful of blood before he was willing to take the corpse back to Beijing, which frightened Commander Zheng quite a bit.”
Lu Qing was startled.
It’s like when I heard that Ning Juan made people’s souls 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.
Changshun pretended not to notice the slight changes in Lu Qingze, and lowered his voice a little bit: “Since you left, Your Majesty has never slept once again, and his headaches are splitting from time to time, and even Doctor Xu is not good at it. Let’s pay more attention to Your Majesty, and don’t let him do stupid things.”
Lu Qing was silent, did not speak, and let Changshun speak.
Changshun said: “This year, during the New Year’s Eve, Your Majesty, like a whim, suddenly picked a child from the clan and brought it into the palace to raise it under his lap.”
“…what?”
Seeing his reaction, Changshun hurriedly continued: “It’s an orphan who has lost both parents, but he is quite smart and honest. Your Majesty never tells our family about this in private, but our family can see that His Majesty may be trying to kill this child. Adopt it under the name, train him to be… the prince.”
Lu Qing didn’t know if he was more sour or angry, he couldn’t believe it: “He is so young, he adopted a child to be the prince?!”
Does Ning Juan know what he is doing?
Changshun was cautious and cautious on weekdays, so he dared to say something sincere in front of Lu Qingze: “Your Majesty hides things in his heart and never tells anyone. There was a time in the middle of the night, when our house was guarding the night, I accidentally took a nap and woke up, Your Majesty. He was no longer in the house, it was so noisy, everyone was looking for where to go to, but the next morning, when he came forward, His Majesty came back in good condition with red eyes… Mr. Lu, His Majesty listens to you very much, he Saying that you want him to be a good emperor, he will do it well and not let you down, so he came back to court early.”
Lu Qing was holding the door frame, dizzy for a while.
For three years abroad, he often dreamed that Ning Juan stood alone on the tower and looked up at the bright moon, and that lonely back suddenly overlapped with the current Ning Juan.
What is he doing? Isn’t he the noble and unparalleled emperor?
He closed his eyes, took a breath, turned around and changed directions, and walked quickly to the study, with countless words he wanted to say in his chest, so fast that Changshun couldn’t keep up.
As a result, Ning Juan had already left.
Lu Qing was stunned. He was actually very used to finding Ning Juan immediately, or even if he didn’t look for it, Ning Juan would take the initiative to come and stick to him, and it was rare that he would be lost.
Feeling more and more irritable.
Lu Qing tightened his thick cloak and didn’t want to stay in this palace anymore. He walked past Merlin in front of him, walked out, and walked straight 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, Ning Juan doesn’t have to worry about him running away.
Even if he ran away, he had to worry about Duan Lingguang’s head.
What’s more, there is probably a dark guard around.
Ning Juan told him that he would be obedient. He heard anecdotes in Beijing in the suburbs of Beijing. When he cleaned it three years ago, Ning Juan did not bother others.
I haven’t seen him for three years, and it seems to have changed and calmed down.
It seemed to become more uncontrollable, more insane.
Lu Qing had an indescribable contradiction in his chest. After walking for a while, he felt a little tired, so he sat down and rested.
He was sitting in this position, among several clusters of tall flowers, his body was already thin, and was hidden by the flowers, and he couldn’t see it unless he walked around. Lazy, he whispered a few gossips: “…It’s a big happy event.”
“But we have been staying in the palace, and we haven’t seen any strangers being brought into the palace.”
“There are discussions everywhere in the palace. Your Majesty has never been close to women. I have never seen His Majesty show a smile to anyone. It will never be a maid in the palace…”
“I heard that the ministers of the previous dynasty were very excited!”
“I really want to meet that mysterious Queen Empress…”
After a few words of gossip, he didn’t dare to be lazy any more, and hurried away.
Lu Qing’s mind was buzzing when he heard it.
What queen concubine?
Is Ning Juan about to stand up?
Combined with what Ning Juan said yesterday when he was mad, Lu Qing suddenly realized something, stood up in a rush, and wanted to go to the Qianqing Palace to find Ning Juan, but he walked too quickly and accidentally twisted his ankle.
Lu Qing really didn’t have the strength to say anything about his fragile body. He sat silently for a while, and spit out “don’t get close” coldly. The dark guard who was protecting Lu Qingze in the dark hesitated for a while before he dared not. close.
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 be unable 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 “Jixue Xuan”.
His Majesty’s words not only climbed up, but also became vigorous and powerful, and the writing was very beautiful.
Lu Qing glanced at it and didn’t care too much. He went back to the bedroom, drank the medicine that Changshun brought, and looked down at his ankle. He didn’t feel swollen, so he didn’t pay any more attention.
Compared with this small problem, it was the matter of Ningjuan that gave him more headaches.
Whether it was yesterday or today, when talking to Ning Juan, he couldn’t help but be carried away by his emotions, and then he forgot what he was going to say, which was not like him.
He had to calm down and speak clearly to Ning Juan.
When the sky 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 expected, His Majesty the Emperor went directly into the bedroom to find Lu Qingze, with a box of ointment in his hand.
Lu Qing sat on the couch and watched him approaching calmly before slowly opening his mouth: “I want to tell you three things.”
The two of them tacitly agreed, and did not mention the conversation in the study. Ning Juan also seemed to be very good at talking, and nodded happily: “Okay.”
“The first thing is, you can’t do anything to Duan Lingguang, no matter what 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.”
Duan Lingguang again.
Ning Wan endured the jealousy in his heart, the corners of his lips were straight, and his jaw line was taut. After a long while, he said indifferently: “The death penalty can be avoided, but the life penalty cannot be escaped. I will give him a trade deal in the Western Regions. If he can do it, I will spare him, if he can’t do it…”
Ning Juan was still wearing an extravagant black uniform. He half-kneeled in front of Lu Qingze and held up his sprained foot: “Huaixue, I can’t bear to talk about you alone.”
Lu Qing pumped his feet, but he couldn’t. Instead, it was convenient for Ning Lan to take off the stockings on his feet.
The ankles, which seemed to be nothing in the afternoon, were now red and swollen.
Ning Juan dug out a spoonful of snow-white ointment, frowned, and his handsome face was full of displeasure: “I just haven’t seen you for a while, and I’m hurt again.”
Lu Qing told himself to calm down in his heart, ignored his words, and continued: “Second thing, I hope Your Majesty will keep the news of my return well and don’t spread it.”
Back then, he decided to leave with suspended animation, for reasons of Ningjuan and other reasons.
At that time, countless officials in the DPRK were afraid of him. After experiencing the turmoil of the Eunuch Party and the Guard Party, they were afraid that there would be another “Lu Party”. In addition, many of his reform political views were extremely offending, causing such a big storm. It’s hard to ride a tiger, and in that case, it’s the same whether it’s better to protect him or not.
Protect him, or some people with intentions have reason to shout the slogan of “Qing Jun’s side” to cause chaos. If you don’t protect him, he will become a powerful official in the midst of countless criticisms, forming his own party to protect himself. .
Suspended death is inevitable. Only when the threat of “Lu Qingze” disappears can the fanatic atmosphere in the court disappear, and Ning Juan will have the opportunity to clean up some dishonest people.
In this case, if the news of his return spreads… I really don’t know what kind of mess it will turn into.
His political enemies and adversaries are afraid that they will die of anger.
The cool ointment is applied to the red and swollen place, and it is cool and comfortable.
Ning Juan knew the benefits and benefits of this, so he carefully put medicine on Lu Qingze and hummed lightly.
There is no hurry, but he will let Lu Qing reappear in front of everyone.
His Huaixue is bright and upright, and he doesn’t need to hide his head and show his tail.
He had thought about it three years ago that he would not 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 keep me here.”
Ning Juan was stunned for a moment, then looked up quickly, with an indescribable smile on his handsome face: “Have you heard?”
The emperor, who clearly wanted everyone to look up, was half-kneeling in front of Lu Qingze at the moment.
Lu Qing sat on the couch and looked down at him, feeling an inexplicable sense of confusion.
His forehead jumped suddenly, and his tone was as calm as possible: “Since you are no longer a child, you must know what you are doing. You are the emperor, and you are not pretending to be a family.”
“Huaixue, you still don’t understand my intentions.” Ning Juan held his ankle in disappointment, rubbing slowly, as if applying medicine, with some kind of indescribable emotion, ” Of course I know what I’m doing.”
He stared at Lu Qingze with burning eyes, with a burning desire in his eyes: “Huaixue, I want to marry you.”
He clearly heard the words spit out from Ning Juan’s mouth, but Lu Qing endured his temper all afternoon and let it out. He coldly pulled back his feet, and stepped on Ning Juan’s shoulder unbearably. After kicking him a few more times, his chest heaved slightly: “What if I don’t want to?”
Snow-white bare feet stepped on his shoulders, and there were a few traces of fragrant plum fragrance when the corners of the clothes passed by.
Even though he was half-kneeling on the ground and being stepped on, the corner of His Majesty’s mouth happily hooked, and he gently lifted his foot: “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 for himself.
After experiencing a loss, what he fears day and night now is the loss of Lu Qingze.
What he wanted was Lu Qingze who would smile at him.
From a long time ago, he discovered that if the teacher smiled at him, he would be troubled.
But if the teacher didn’t laugh, he would be more troubled.
Lu Qing felt even more confused. He was the one who should understand Ning Juan the most, but at the moment he couldn’t understand what Ning Juan was thinking.
If he doesn’t want to force him, what is he doing now?
But if he wanted to force him, it seemed that Ning Wan really didn’t need to endure until now.
After all, no one except Duan Lingguang knew that he was alive, and he was taken back to the palace by Ning Juan again.
Realizing that his thinking was about to be distracted by his emotions again, Lu Qing took a deep breath and was about to speak again. He immediately talked with the “Prince Prince” again, and watched Ning Juan lowered his head, He kissed lightly on his toes.
Lu Qing had never been treated like this in his two lifetimes, and his mind went blank for a moment, from the tip of his feet to the tip of his ears, he was so shocked that he was speechless.
Is this **** perverted? !
“Huaixue, you treat me as a mad dog wagging its tail and begging for pity,” Ning Juan kissed his toes and said hoarsely, “I will listen to you and won’t bite you.”
Lu Qing sat on the couch in a trance, his lips trembled, and he grinded a few words between his teeth: “Do you still remember your identity, stand up for me.”
Ning Juan obediently stood up and stared straight at him.
Lu Qing didn’t start, avoiding his sight: “Get out.”
The house was brightly lit, and when Lu Qing turned his head away, the red on his snow-white earlobes 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: He asked Dr. Xu for a rabies vaccine overnight.
Ning tired: ?
