Vol 2 Chapter 78

In March, the capital was still warm and cold. Although the earth dragon was burning in the house, it still couldn’t stop Lu Qing from getting cold in his hands and feet, and he slept very restlessly at night.

For the past two days, he blasted Ning Juan away and slept alone.

While tossing and turning, Ning Juan’s voice “call me here if it’s cold at night” ran through his mind, and a faint little regret passed through his heart.

Although Ning Juan does look like a big-tailed wolf sometimes, but His Majesty the Emperor is very good at warming the bed.

Young people are hot.

Half asleep, he seemed to hear familiar footsteps.

Then someone slightly lifted the quilt and got in.

The warm heat came over, and Lu Qing drooped his eyelids, half-dream and half-awake, his consciousness was hazy and unclear: “…Guoguo?”

The man beside him stretched out his hand and took him into his arms without changing his expression. He hugged his hands and feet, fell silent, said “um”, and then snorted softly, “I know you can’t sleep without me. Safe.”

I must have slept badly for the past three years.

His hands and feet were no longer cold, and Lu Qing murmured unconsciously, “Aren’t you?”, ignoring the sudden stiffness of His Majesty the Emperor, he closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully.

Lu Qing’s relatively gentle breathing was gently sprayed in his throat.

Ning Juan’s Adam’s apple rolled, and he didn’t dare to move, for fear of waking him up.

During the two months of the Cold War three years ago, he would sneak into the Lu Mansion every night, sleep with Lu Qingze in his arms, and do nothing. As long as he hugs Lu Qingze, he can feel a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

After that, he was completely deadlocked with Lu Qingze. He could only look at Lu Qingze from a distance, but he could never go forward and embrace the warm plum fragrance.

Just like that for three years.

In the darkness, Ning Juan lowered his head and stared at Lu Qingze’s vague sleeping face, and another thought involuntarily popped into his mind:

Is the Lu Qingze in his arms the real Lu Qingze?

Is this another dream, or an illusion created by his confusion?

Every night when he found Lu Qingze, he would fall into such a predicament, but he never dared to open his mouth, for fear that it was a dream that would shatter as soon as he made a sound.

If it’s false…then let this dream continue.

Ning Wan was silent for a long time, and gently opened Lu Qingze’s collar.

In the misty darkness, his fingertips trembled slightly, and he cautiously reached over and touched a deep tooth mark.

It was a mark that deepened in the afternoon.

Ning Juan suddenly felt a little sense of security, his tensed shoulders loosened, his eyebrows stretched slightly, he closed his eyes, and fell into a rare and precious peaceful sleep amid the familiar plum fragrance.

When Lu Qingze woke up the next day, he felt warm on his body, and he guessed that Ning Juan must have come to sleep with his arms around him in the middle of the night.

He rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache.

After driving Ning Juan away yesterday, he didn’t want to understand where those chaotic thoughts came from and how to fix them. All the disturbances were caused by Ning Juan, but he couldn’t avoid Ning Juan.

He has always been able to take care of all his thoughts in his mind and solve problems calmly and self-sufficiently, just like in the past, in the face of Ning Juan’s pressing step by step, he also chose to do the same.

It can’t be done now.

Lu Qing simply gave up on himself, gave up thinking, went to the warm pavilion to finish his breakfast, and Changshun took out the ointment: “Your Majesty has gone to the court, will our family give you medicine?”

Lu Qing shook his head, took the ointment, frowned himself, and applied the medicine to the ankle that was swollen like a steamed bun.

Changshun watched from the side, waiting for Lu Qing to slowly swallow the good medicine, and then brought a bowl of warm medicine: “Lord Lu, Your Majesty ordered that when you drink the medicine in the future, if he is not there, our family will Gotta keep an eye on you…”

Lu Qing was not very happy: “Does your majesty think I’m a three-year-old child?”

As he said that, he frowned and drank the bowl of medicine.

Seeing how unhappy he was, Chang Shun smiled and said, “Your Majesty also ordered something.”

Lu Qing slapped his foot, and it was inconvenient to go anywhere, so he sighed “um”, his nasal voice rising.

Changshun clapped his hands outside: “Bring it here.”

Lu Qing realized something, looked up and saw that Qian Mingming was brought in by two guards.

Although he was detained for a few days, he didn’t seem to be injured, but the dark circles under his eyes were a little heavy. When he saw Lu Qingze, he exclaimed in surprise, “Mr. Lu, it turns out that you are all right, that’s great!”

Lu Qing was also a little surprised. Ning Juan’s appearance yesterday made it clear that he was strictly guarding Duan Lingguang and would never let him have contact with Qian Mingming again.

He had no idea that Ning Juan would actually let someone bring Qian Mingming to see him.

This is different from the left-minded and twisted Ning Juan in his impression.

Changshun said, “We’ll wait outside at our house, so I won’t disturb Master Lu talking to your friends. If you have anything, Master Lu remember to call our house.”

After saying that, he took the two guards out and closed the door.

Ning Juan asked people to interrogate him, and he realized that Qian Mingming didn’t know anything, but it was enough to pass Qian Mingming and touch the melon behind.

Qian Mingming has been squatting in the prison for the past few days. He has never been tried again, and he has no way of knowing the outside world.

His eyes were full of confusion: “That **** just now, I heard someone call him the chief general. He came to the prison to take me away in the morning. How could he be so respectful to you? He called you Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu?”

Lu Qing smiled helplessly: “It’s a long story, just sit and talk.”

Qian Mingming didn’t hesitate. He sat on the heated kang and pondered the “Lord Lu” in the mouth of the chief executive several times. Who in this world can be treated so respectfully by the chief executive next to His Majesty?

Suddenly a thunder struck in his mind: “Lu, Mr. Lu, you, you are the one, the rumored emperor Lu Qingze?!”

When the emperor was stabbed and buried in the fire, the capital was bloodbathed again, but it caused quite a stir among people, and there were discussions everywhere.

Seeing Lu Qing, he didn’t say anything, just poured a cup of tea and pushed it over. Qian Mingming was still in shock, and took the tea cup dully: “But aren’t you dead…”

The big change is indeed a bit scary, but Lu Qing kindly suggested: “Would you like to drink some tea to calm the shock?”

Qian Mingming said, “Oh, oh,” two times, he was suffocated to suppress his shock, and then said in horror: “The emperor himself poured tea for me?!”

Lu Qing smiled and gave him another half cup of tea: “Calm down?”

Qian Mingming drank another half cup of tea, as if in a dream: “Calm down.”

“I didn’t expect to be found out when I returned to Beijing this time,” Lu Qing sipped the warm tea to moisten his throat, and sincerely apologized, “I’m bothering you, sorry.”

Qian Mingming shook his head: “I’m fine, but when you went back to the inn that day, a group of Jinyi guards suddenly gathered around me and took me away, which shocked me, and the people who interrogated me were fierce and frightening, and they didn’t do anything after that. If you don’t care about me again, I’ll guess if your enemy in the capital came to you, and I’ve been worried about your accident.”

“I’m fine.”

Lu Qing smiled, and as soon as he heard the words “fierce and evil”, he knew that 80% of them were referring to Zheng Yao.

After many years of separation, Commander Zheng’s demeanor remains the same.

Qian Mingming looked at Lu Qingze secretly. He was good at dressing up. When Duan Lingguang took him to see Lu Qingze, he felt that he was born like the darling of God. He had seen so many people, but this was the first time to look so good.

But according to rumors, didn’t the emperor’s teacher Lu Qing cover it with a mask because he was ugly?

It seems that the rumors are the other way around. It is because they are so good-looking that they are covered with a mask.

After Qian Mingming sighed, he glanced outside and asked in a low voice, “Then what is your current situation…”

As he spoke, he remembered the day when he was in the capital, and Lu Qing told him that he had offended a big man in the capital.

As far as Lu Qingze is concerned, what other big people can’t afford to offend?

Qian Mingming hissed.

In addition to being today, who else!

Combined with the assassination of the emperor three years ago, there is no doubt that something must have gone wrong between the teacher and the student!

Lu Qing shook his head and said, “I can’t go away, but since His Majesty has allowed you to see me, I think I’m going to let you go back to find Young Master Duan, so don’t be afraid.”

Of course Qian Mingming is not afraid, he is only full of worries: “Then Mr. Lu, you…”

“Don’t worry,” Lu Qing saw the worry in his eyes and comforted him with a smile, “Your Majesty won’t do anything to me.”

Except for a few bites when he’s crazy, it really doesn’t matter.

He could sense that Ning Juan had been suppressing some kind of emotion, trying to get along with him peacefully, and didn’t want to make trouble.

So at least for now, the two of them can be considered peaceful.

Qian Mingming hesitated to speak, but he really couldn’t do anything, so he could only swallow the rest of the words.

“Because of me, Young Master Duan was also implicated, and His Majesty punished him to go to the Western Regions to do business.” Lu Qing tapped his fingertips on the table, his voice was gentle and clear, “This task is quite difficult. If you hit it, you may suffer a big loss, but if you do it well, the benefits are countless. I have sorted out some documents in the past two days, which are beneficial to this matter. Please bring it to him, and then tell him for me. Sorry.”

With that said, he handed Qian Mingming the documents he had prepared in his spare time for the past two days.

Qian Mingming took it and sighed: “Don’t worry, Boss Duan is a righteous person, I won’t blame you, I, I can’t do anything, I can only guarantee that I will bring the documents and words, Master Lu, you are in the palace Here, take care of everything.”

Lu Qing nodded with a smile: “Go back, you have been frightened these days.”

Qian Mingming hesitated, and turned his head three times and left the warm pavilion.

Not long after Qian Mingming left, Ning Juan also came back.

These past few days, the ministers have been very distressed, and they are very sad to see that His Majesty is unmoved by it, so it is inevitable that every morning will be delayed by an hour than before.

Ning Juan was a little impatient and delayed his return to see Lu Qingze.

As for those remarks about the demon empresses who ruined the country, thinking about the teachings of the emperor, I just pretended that I didn’t hear it.

And he wasn’t joking that morning.

Ning Juan has never followed any royal rules. He has added Lu Qingze’s name to the jade plate to pay tribute to his ancestors.

Or, just to inform the ancestors.

Although there is no canonization ceremony, in essence, Lu Qing is already his “Queen”.

This was what he wanted to do the most, but Lu Qing just didn’t want to, so he did it.

In the future, if Lu Qing is willing, he will hold another canonization ceremony. If Lu Qing doesn’t like it so lively, then that’s fine.

Even if he selfishly wanted to worship the heaven and earth with Lu Qing and enter the bridal chamber.

“Finished talking?”

Ning Juan walked into the Nuan Pavilion, saw Lu Qing leaning on the kang bed and reading a book, and glanced at his face quietly.

I’m not angry, it seems that I’m in a much better mood. I slept in such a daze last night, and I didn’t realize that he climbed into bed in the middle of the night.

Lu Qing felt the faint pain still lingering on the back of his neck, glanced at him, and stabbed him: “Isn’t your majesty telling me to see Qian Mingming?

Ning Juan has reason and reason: “I said ‘you can’t go’, but I don’t mean that he can’t come.”

Lu Qingze: “…”

Lu Qing was angry and funny: “Forget it, send someone to see Duan Lingguang earlier.”

Ning Juan was silent, thinking that Changshun had just reported back and forth, saying that Qian Mingming had a few more papers in his arms, and when he asked, it was prepared by Lu Qing and brought it to Duan Lingguang, and his heart suddenly became sour.

Lu Qingze has been in and out of the study frequently in the past few days, and he has retrieved a lot of secret files to see that it is for Duan Lingguang.

Do you care so much about Duan Lingguang? The connection business has to worry about him.

But no matter how sour he felt in his heart, Ning Juan would not show it. He sat opposite Lu Qingze and said, “Recently, there are beggars in Beijing who are spreading songs about the southwest. The two beggars that came out first.”

Lu Qingze didn’t move his eyebrows: “Oh, then what?”

“They said they were instructed by a young man wearing a bamboo hat near an inn in the suburbs of Beijing.”

There was a rare smile on Ning Juan’s face. He was very handsome, a little less dangerous than when he went crazy a few days ago. His eyes were slightly burning, and he looked at him: “Guess Huai Xue, who is it?”

Lu Qingze paused, put down the book, and said calmly, “Your Majesty doesn’t know.”

Ning Juan’s eyes flickered, staring at him, trying to confirm his position in Lu Qingze’s heart: “You should have come back to sacrifice to General Shi, but you stayed for two more days, for me, right? ”

Yu Bai’s fingertips creased the pages unconsciously, while Lu Qing pursed his lips and said bluntly: “If the southwest is reversed, the people’s stable life will also end.”

“Is it difficult to admit that you care about me?” Seeing him like this, Ning Juan’s smile deepened, “Huai Xue, only when you have a guilty conscience will you avoid answering.”

Lu Qing felt a little annoyed again.

I don’t know what’s going on. Three years ago, he was calm, and Ning Juan was the one who was easily annoyed. Three years later, he reversed his roles. He became the person who was easily disturbed by a few words.

He took a deep breath, recited a few times in his heart “heart is like still water”, and put the book in his hand on the table: “Your Majesty has cut down the vassal over the past few years and offended many vassal kings. The vassal kings are dissatisfied, but because of your hand The military power in the country does not dare to take any action.”

Ning Juan’s mood has improved.

Lu Qingze clearly knew that staying near the capital might also be found, or was it because he was worried that he would stay for a few more days, at least it shows that he occupies a much more place in Lu Qingze’s heart than Duan Lingguang?

Ning Yan held his cheeks and stared at Lu Qingze without blinking: “Well, I know, but it is imperative to cut down the vassal.”

His Majesty the Emperor sitting across from him was burning with flames, and the hot and passionate feelings were unobstructed.

It didn’t hold back at all.

Lu Qing stared at him so much that he felt like his whole body was about to burn, so he could only try to keep himself from being influenced by Ning Juan: “I’ve been to the middle of Shu, and Ning Cong is recklessly training private soldiers there.”

Ning Juan frowned and blurted out, “You haven’t seen him, have you?”

He still remembers clearly what Ning Cong did to Lu Qingze.

Lu Qing was stunned for a moment, guessing what Ning Juan remembered, and laughed: “Of course not.”

Ning Yan’s face softened.

Emperor Tiangao is far away in the middle of Shu. After he emerged, Ning Cong heard the news from Beijing. He was afraid of retribution, so he hid in Shu and never came out.

A few years ago, Ning Juan was struck by Lu Qingze’s death and was almost in a trance. It was not until he saw the letter left by Lu Qingze that he reluctantly cheered up and was busy cleaning up a bunch of messes left by Emperor Chong’an. He never had a chance to attack Ning Cong.

Since Ning Cong is courting death again, of course he will not let him go.

Ning Juan tapped on the table with his fingertips: “I have sent someone to investigate in the middle of Shu, once I get the evidence.”

A cold murderous aura flashed across his eyes: “Kill Wushe.”

Lu Qing took a sip of tea calmly: “I also passed by King Jing’s Ningjing’s fief. Unlike the resentment in the middle of Shu, Ningjing’s reputation in the local area is very good, and the people praised it. I stayed for more than a month. I haven’t seen him raising private soldiers, but he has a deep mind and has to guard against it.”

Ning Juan’s heart was slightly warm, and he couldn’t help holding Lu Qingze’s hand: “Huixue…”

He thought that Lu Qing would leave him and don’t want him anymore, but Lu Qing helped him pay attention to these even when he was outside.

Lu Qing drew his hand uncomfortably: “Walk around, just take a look. The southwest is not too peaceful, and there is nothing wrong with the Mobei side. I heard that the third prince of the Tartars, Ulihan, brought him Dad fell down again?”

The Tatars have been in civil strife for several years, and Daqi likes to hear it, but if Wulihan targets Daqi again at this time, and the southwest and Mobei are in chaos at the same time, the situation will be a bit worse.

Ning Ruan nodded and said, “Wulihan handed over a letter a few days ago, willing to be a minister to Daqi, continue to pay tribute, and request Qianyuan Festival to come to Daqi to celebrate his birthday in person.”

Lu Qing stared into his eyes: “Do you believe him?”

Ning Juan said lightly, “Naturally, it’s not credible. How can a person who climbed to this position have small ambitions.”

Seeing that Ning Juan was not confused by Wulihan’s rhetoric, he didn’t need to remind him, but Lu Qing smiled: “I heard that the guard in Mobei is Lin Xi now, and that child has grown up too.”

Ning Juan hummed: “There is a bit of the style of General Shi.”

After a pause, he said: “After you left, Chen Xiaodao went to Mobei with the remaining guards of General Shi Da.”

Lu Qing was stunned for a moment.

Before he left, he tried his best to pave the way for Chen Xiaodao so that he could stay in the capital safely. Unexpectedly, in the end, Chen Xiaodao took the initiative to leave the capital and went to the bitter cold and dangerous Mobei.

But in a few years, it seems that everyone has grown and changed.

“During the Qianyuan Festival, he should come back to celebrate his birthday.” Ning Ruan stretched out his hand and brushed away the broken hair on Lu Qingze’s temples, his fingertips rested on the tear mole at the corner of his eye, and then took it back, “Then you will We can meet.”

Lu Qing glanced at him: “I thought His Majesty was going to lock me in this place, and no one would let me see you.”

Ning Juan did have this thought. Those dark thoughts continued to expand because he learned that Lu Qing came from another place. He felt uneasy, and it became more and more difficult to contain it, but he no longer planned to do that. .

Yin Xuexuan changed his name to Ji Xuexuan, which was one of his attitudes.

“You are inconvenient to move now, so I won’t allow you to run around. If you want to go out for a walk, I won’t stop you.”

Ning Juan grabbed Lu Qingze’s hand again, held it, and whispered, “As long as you don’t leave without saying goodbye, you are still willing to stay by my side.”

Lu Qing was silent for a while, and finally stopped avoiding his eyes, staring at the young and handsome emperor in front of him: “Your Majesty has really changed a lot.”

Ning Juan’s mouth twitched reluctantly: “After all, the teacher taught me so cruelly.”

Lu Qing thought about it, and wanted to ask Ning Wan if the stories outside that he recruited Taoist priests and monks into the palace to summon souls were true.

But when it came to his mouth, he still didn’t say it.

Whether it’s true or not, after he learned of Ning Juan’s pain in those years, there’s no point in discussing it.

Changshun sent today’s memorial to the warm pavilion, Ning Juan reviewed the memorial, and Lu Qing read the book on the side.

Except for the rustling sound of turning over the book and the occasional rustling of writing, the warm pavilion is quiet and the atmosphere is rare and harmonious.

Chang Shun stood outside, feeling as if he had returned to a few years ago. Master Lu and His Majesty often did the same, one reading the book, the other reviewing the playbook, and occasionally discussing and discussing in a low voice.

Thinking of His Majesty’s quiet and lonely appearance over the past few years, his eyes turned a little red.

Fortunately, Lord Lu is back after all.

Otherwise, what can His Majesty do?

Lu Qing did not intend to intervene in political affairs, but Ning Juan didn’t plan to avoid him at all, instead, from time to time, he would show him some temporarily undecided copies and ask him for his opinion.

After so many times, Lu Qing couldn’t help but say, “Your Majesty, don’t you think this is inappropriate?”

“Is there anything inappropriate?” Ning Juan didn’t care much, “You will sit with me firmly on this throne. Even if you want to sit, I will.”

Lu Qing pressed his forehead and wanted to say something else, but Ning Juan interrupted him: “Huaixue, you can rest assured that what happened three years ago will not happen again.”

In this regard, Lu Qing really had nothing to do with him, so he picked up the book again.

The sky was getting dark, Changshun came in and lit a candle, the warm yellow light filled the warm pavilion faintly, shining on Lu Qingze’s face, a color like warm jade, the pink lips were slightly pursed, as if wet. petal.

Ning Juan couldn’t help but feel a little moved, coughed lightly, and asked in a low voice, “Huaixue, after you come back, how do you feel about my performance?”

Very nice and obedient, right?

Lu Qing raised his thin eyelids: “Do you really want to hear it?”

Crazy and sick and divided.

He still looks like a normal person during the day, but suddenly bites at night.

The two made eye contact and noticed the sneer in Lu Qingze’s eyes. Ning Lan lowered his head angrily and continued to read the playbook: “…Forget it.”

Lu Qing looked at his dejected appearance and felt very strange.

He clearly knew that in front of him was a vicious wolf that was extremely aggressive and would eat people without spitting out bones, but Ning Juan was so sad that his ears were drooping like a big dog, which made people want to. Touch it, give it a piece of meat, and comfort it.

He clearly knew that the wolf was plotting against him, and if he reached out and touched it, he might be bitten.

But still unbearable.

After all, this wolf is so sad because of him.

Lu Qing lowered his eyes, hesitated for a moment, but reached out his hand, touched Ning Juan’s head lightly, and gave an evaluation: “Although he can bite, he is still very good.”

Ning Juan’s eyes suddenly lit up, grabbed his wrist, and his fingertips were shaking slightly with excitement: “Then can I kiss you?”

He has endured it from yesterday to now, even when Lu Qingze fell asleep, he didn’t take advantage of others’ danger, he felt that he was already Liu Xiahui, a gentleman who could no longer be a gentleman.

He is so good, and asking Lu Qing for a little reward is not too much, right?

Lu Qing tried to pull his hand back, but the disparity in strength between the two was too great to pull back at all.

He could clearly feel the scorching heat of the hand that held him.

and a slight trembling.

Lu Qing’s lips were white, and his mind went blank for a moment, realizing that he had almost softened his heart, and felt absurd.

For other matters, it’s okay to let Ning Juan come. How can this kind of thing be done by Ning Juan?

He didn’t start with a straight face: “No…”

Before he could finish speaking, Ning Juan had already come over quickly, and while he was speaking, he pressed him on the kang bed, intruded in with his lips in his mouth, wanton and frivolous.

Then he sat back contentedly, and turned into the majestic Emperor, and continued to deal with the memorials.

Lu Qingze was stunned in place, staring at Ning Juan in disbelief, his chest heaving violently, his lips were kissed red, he wiped his lips, and was so angry: “Are you just asking or notifying? ”

Ning Juan was in a very good mood, admiring Lu Qing’s flamboyant face when he was angry, he held his cheeks and smiled: “If you look at me like this again, I can’t bear it anymore.”

Lu Qing’s ears were hot, and he immediately closed his eyes: “…”

He hasn’t taught any of these, so who did Ning Juan learn from in the past few years? !

Ning Wan’s face was calm: “You took the initiative to reach out.”

Take the initiative to reach out and prepare to be bitten.

Lu Qing was speechless for a while.

It was indeed his own hand.

Ning Juan saw that the tip of his snow-white ear was a little red like a cloud, and after watching it for a long time, he didn’t know if it was a warning or a reminder, and his voice was slightly hoarse: “Think carefully before reaching out next time, this time I’m very restrained.”

Lu Qing said numbly: “Are you really restrained? Otherwise, what else do you want to do?”

Ning Juan stared at him for a while, his eyes were like a hungry wolf for a moment, and he said slowly, “Huixue, you don’t want to know what I want to do to you.”

The author has something to say:

Lu Qingze: ? You say, I am still afraid that you will fail?

Ning Juan: ****** (blocked by mosaic because it involves too many sensitive words)

Lu Qingze: ! ! (extremely frightened) (dial 110)

It’s too good for the dog hook, the dog hook will make an inch!
