Vol 2 Chapter 87

Chen Xiaodao stayed in the Lu Mansion for two days, feeling uneasy.

After Lu Qing returned to the palace, he didn’t move. He only heard some vague news. It seemed that something really happened.

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

He can be considered a person who has been on the battlefield, and he can sense that there are people guarding around the Lu Mansion, which makes him more and more uneasy.

Whether or not His Majesty really had an accident, there is no doubt that His Majesty must have noticed his sneaky little movements.

Thinking that the young master is going to leave again, what will His Majesty’s reaction be?

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 captured than to wait for news.

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

Sure enough, after stepping over the threshold, someone immediately stepped forward, shoved him away, and took him to Miyagi.

Done.

How do you go in the direction of Miyagi?

If he was taken to Beizhen Fusi, he would have a good relationship with Commander Zheng!

Even though he was mentally prepared, Chen Xiaodao was still a little frightened when he thought that he might face His Majesty’s indifferent face.

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

I don’t know what’s going on with your son?

Chen Xiaodao was beating a drum in his heart, and he followed a few guards into the palace. It was rare that he didn’t talk to anyone.

After being taken outside Jixue Xuan, several guards let him go and motioned for him to go in by himself.

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

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

As soon as the two met, Changshun glanced at him up and down, and twitched the corners of his mouth: “Master Chen, you are really capable.”

Chen Xiaodao saw that he was carrying the medicine, for fear that he would hurt Lu Qingze, and felt even more uneasy: “What’s wrong with the son? Has your majesty done anything to the son…”

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

Chen Xiaodao was so nervous that his whole body was tense, and he followed Changshun into the room with the medicine.

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

Lu Qing, who hadn’t seen him for three days, was leaning on the couch, with a robe on his body – it was large and empty, it didn’t look like his, except that his face was paler, he seemed to be in good spirits, and he turned over the memorial in his hand. , Occasionally frowning and coughing, it doesn’t look like he’s been punished…

His Majesty the emperor’s robe did not know where it went. He sat on the side and reviewed the memorial. Hearing the footsteps, he just glanced at it lightly: “Huixue, it’s time to take medicine.”

The room was covered with a thick and soft blanket. Lu Qing focused on the folds in his hand, but did not notice the footsteps. He looked up to find Chen Xiaodao, and smiled slightly: “Xiaodao is here?”

…

What is the situation with you two?

Chen Xiaodao looked at Changshun dumbfoundedly, trying to get an answer, but Changshun lowered his head and ignored him.

Chen Xiaodao had no choice but to bow himself: “Xiaguan has seen His Majesty.”

Ning Wan’s cool and indifferent gaze lingered on him for a moment.

Although Chen Xiaodao’s action made him extremely angry, but thinking about it from another angle, if it wasn’t for Chen Xiaodao, Lu Qing still didn’t know how long it would take to break through that line of defense.

“Be flat.”

The last bit of anger in Ning Wan’s heart disappeared, and his eyes fell back to the memorial in front of him.

Zhu Hong’s pen made a ruthless stroke and dismissed it.

Why does it seem so peaceful?

Chen Xiaodao was still a little dazed, but when he heard Lu Qingze cover his lips and coughed in a low voice, he hurriedly sent the medicine over, worrying: “It’s not cold this day, why is your son getting cold again?”

Could it be that when he invited Lu Qingze out to meet him that night, he caught a cold on the way?

Hearing Chen Xiaodao’s concerned question, Lu Qing was a little embarrassed and said vaguely, “It’s cold at night, don’t worry.”

What else could it be for?

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 I woke up yesterday, others were fine, but by the afternoon I had a fever.

Originally, I wanted to see Chen Xiaodao yesterday, but Ning Juan stopped him. He drank the medicine and burned it all night. Today, the fever subsided.

He was completely dazed, and the culprit who pulled him to play with water was very good, and there was nothing wrong with him.

Ning Juan tried to take the medicine and fed it to Lu Qingze himself, but Lu Qingze couldn’t see his intention, patted his hand, took the medicine, held his breath and poured it, then got up and said, “I Go and talk to Xiaodao in the warm pavilion next door, and His Majesty will deal with the manuscript first.”

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

At the moment when Lu Qingze got up and passed Ning Juan and was about to get out of bed, Chen Xiaodao clearly saw His Majesty the Emperor half-squinted his eyes, like a wolf who was thinking about taking the prey by his mouth by his throat, as if he would be sideways in the next moment. He blocked his legs, and when Lu Qing was tripped by him, he pulled the person into his arms and imprisoned him.

He was shocked, 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 special slippers, taking advantage of the unhappy head of the emperor, soothed, “I’ll be back with you later.”

Ning Juan’s face turned cloudy to sunny, and he obediently said “um”.

Chen Xiaodao: “…”

Seeing Chen Xiaodao looking a little dumbfounded, Chang Shun felt a little relieved when he saw the self of yesterday.

He wasn’t the only one who was shocked when he saw the relationship between Master Lu and His Majesty.

He thought yesterday that, with His Majesty being so rude to Lord Lu, the two of them are going to tear their faces.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty would no longer sneak in at night, but entered Lord Lu’s house openly and was not driven out.

It did.

…I can’t understand it, even if he looks all the way down, he still can’t understand it.

Chang Shun thought rebelliously in his heart, not knowing whether it was His Majesty who finally coaxed Lord Lu onto the dragon bed, or whether he climbed onto Lord Lu’s bed by himself.

Lu Qing pulled his slippers and went with Chen Xiaodao to the nurturing pavilion next door. Ning Juan asked someone to get through the walls of the nudist pavilion and the bedroom, and walked to the outside room, which was only a few steps away.

There was no one else around, Chen Xiaodao pursed his lips, and baldly asked a lot of questions: “Master, what happened after you came back that night? I heard that something happened in the palace outside, and His Majesty didn’t look well. What? You and Your Majesty are…”

Lu Qing poured him a cup of tea and signaled him not to get excited. After Chen Xiaodao seemed to calm down, he thought about it and said, “There is something wrong, but it doesn’t matter for the time being, your majesty and I…it’s a good idea. ”

From that night, when Lu Qingze insisted on returning to the palace and entered the palace gate without turning his head, Chen Xiaodao had a hunch, but when he heard Lu Qingze’s last words, he still sighed and endured. He kept lowering his voice and asked, “Young Master, this is your promise, Your Majesty?”

Lu Qingze paused and nodded.

Chen Xiaodao drank two sips of tea sluggishly, and said: “Master, can I ask you a question?”

Lu Qing could vaguely guess what he wanted to ask, and nodded, “Ask.”

“You promised Your Majesty because His Majesty is unwilling to let go,” Chen Xiaodao said more implicitly, not mentioning “force”, “It’s because…”

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

Chen Xiaodao got stuck.

Lu Qing smiled: “Do you think we are weird?”

Chen Xiaodao thought about it for a while, but he didn’t feel that it was so unacceptable. He shook his head and said, “How could it be, the son does whatever he wants.”

But he still had doubts, gritted his teeth, and said boldly: “But, Young Master, your Majesty is the king of a country, unlike you, in case your Majesty regrets his actions today, he can withdraw at any time and accept it. What are the seventy-two concubines of the three palaces and six courtyards, the officials of the DPRK and China will only compliment them, but you…”

Lu Qing knew what Chen Xiaodao was worried about, shook his head, took a sip of tea, and washed away the bitter taste of medicine in his mouth, although his voice was light, but very firm: “If Ning Juan did that, he would not be Ning Juan. already.”

Chen Xiaodao was stunned for a while, then scratched his head: “That’s good, I see Your Majesty’s affection and love for you… It is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people.”

After digesting the matter of Lu Qingze a little, Chen Xiaodao didn’t have time to think too much, and his heart suddenly shuddered, and he quickly asked, “Well, son, where is Commander Zhou? It’s all my fault, I’m going to ask Your Majesty for mercy!”

Lu Qing held him down: “I was about to tell you about this, Your Majesty’s punishment for Commander Zhou has been handed down, he will be demoted to three levels, and he will be punished for five years. Beijing.”

Chen Xiaodao also understood in his heart that when His Majesty discovered this matter, the crime of not putting to death was already magnanimous, but listening to these punishments, he was still annoyed and blamed himself: “It’s all my fault, I thought His Majesty couldn’t find it, he just believed it more. I…I’m going to make amends!”

Lu Qing nodded and said, “I still have some money in Lu’s private treasury, you can take it together.”

After Ning Juan took power, he agreed to the proposal of Cabinet Minister Fan Xingyan and adjusted the salaries of officials at all levels.

In the past, the salaries were too meager, and many conscientious little officials struggled to get enough food and clothing, 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. Recuperating from injuries and eating and drinking for the family are all problems.

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

Chen Xiaodao refused: “I have some savings, and this matter is caused by me alone, the son does not need to be burdened.”

After that, seeing Lu Qing, it was really no big deal, Chen Xiaodao went out, sued Ning Juan again, then took the sign of leaving the palace, and hurried to Zhou Tongling’s house.

Lu Qing waited for a while before slowly returning to the bedroom from the warm 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, and he was slightly relieved when he saw that he was still there.

Lu Qing clenched his fist against 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: “When did I ever get angry, I just let Chen Xiaodao go yesterday.”

Lu Qing couldn’t make him feel that he was narrow-minded.

Lu Qing glanced at him with a half-smile, but didn’t break it: “Yes, you are the most generous – it’s been two days, has Ning Cong done anything yet?”

Ning Juan felt that the first half of his sentence was too perfunctory and not satisfied, but he still replied: “According to his temperament, he will take action tomorrow at the latest.”

Lu Qing said “oh”, took off his shoes and sat on the couch, still sore all over his body, frowning and leaning on the big welcome pillow, and took this memorial to help him read it together.

The eyes of the person in front of him were like snow and moon, with a slightly sick face, but the color did not diminish. The warm and fragrant plum fragrance wafted into the nostrils, making Ning tired and eager to move, and the throat was burning with thirst.

But there were only two visits the day before yesterday, and Lu Qing was like this. He could only barely hold back, like a big dog that was wandering around the flesh and bones, but didn’t dare to bite down, so he could only lie down. Wrap him around you and watch carefully.

For a while, I lost the mind to read the playbook, and Ning Wan saw his legs curled up, looking uncomfortable, he pulled his calf over, pressed his calf, pretending to casually ask: “Well, Huaixue, do you have any? I haven’t asked you yet.”

Lu Qing was pinched comfortably, and responded, “Huh?”

“You said at that time,” Ning Juan was so concerned about it that it was the limit to endure it 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 just ask, I don’t care at all”: “What?”

Ning Juan: “…how many?”

Lu Qing pondered for a while: “Did you mean to call my teacher’s student? Then I have to figure it out.”

Ning Juan’s actions stopped.

How many students have there been and need to count? !

Lu Qing counted all the students who had worked part-time as tutors from the university, the students who had taught in summer camps, and the students in several classes that he had taught, and estimated a number: “There are many, hundreds?”

Ning Lan: “…”

Lu Qing saw that Ning Juan’s face changed to an unknown number of colors at that moment. He held back his laughter and kicked him lightly with his foot: “Why don’t you press it?”

Ning Juan continued to press Lu Qingze’s calf in silence. After a long time, he suddenly said, “But you are the only one now.”

He added stubbornly, “You also said that I’m different from them.”

Lu Qing had no reason to think that Ning Juan was a little cute.

It’s not the kind of cuteness that I felt when I looked at my younger brother with the eyes of an elder, or looked at a student with the eyes of a teacher.

is another.

Ning Juan was usually cold and dignified in front of people, cold and ruthless, and the people under him didn’t even dare to breathe in front of him.

Besides him, who else would know that his Majesty in private is like this?

Lu Qing blinked his eyes with a smile, shifted his position, and after hesitating for a while, leaned over and lightly “tweeted” on Ning Juan’s handsome cheek.

His Majesty the Emperor, who was still trying to prove how special his status was, suddenly fell silent, opened his eyes slightly, and even his breathing was stagnant.

This was the first time that Lu Qingze took the initiative to kiss him.

Although the soft and warm lips just rubbed lightly and left, like a dragonfly on the water, Ning Wan had an indescribable sense of satisfaction, the apex of her heart seemed to be immersed in warm spring water, and her emotions were bulging.

Not lust, but warmer and softer.

The big Ying pillow is not particularly comfortable to lean on, but Lu Qing changed his position, leaned on Ning Wan’s body, and calmly continued to read the playbook: “Ning Jiwei, don’t be lazy, there is still a mountain in the study. ”

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

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

Lu Qing didn’t get a response, thinking that Ning Juan was still angry that he had hundreds of students. After thinking about it, he stretched out his hand to smooth his back, and said warmly, “You are different.”

Except for Ning Wan, no one would like him so persistently and enthusiastically, and he would not be able to accept the pursuit of any other student.

Ning Juan’s throat was slightly choked, and he made a low “um” sound. The body on the right did not dare to move, and with the left hand, he finished reviewing the rest of the playbook.

Chen Xiaodao’s identity is not particularly special, and he went in and out of the palace for one round, and did not attract anyone’s attention.

Except for Fan Xingyan.

Three days ago, on the night of the Qianyuan Festival, His Majesty was assassinated and injured, and he temporarily stopped the court. Several ministers entered the palace every day to discuss matters in Wenyuan Pavilion, and then the imperial general manager Changshun sent the manuscript back.

On the Qianyuan Festival, Fan Xingyan had some doubts about the identity of the “new queen”. After thinking for a while, he sent someone to stare near the Lu Mansion. As expected, he learned today that Chen Xiaodao was brought into the palace by His Majesty’s people. inside.

Chen Xiaodao was someone by Lu Qingze’s side. What did His Majesty suddenly call someone into the palace for?

His heart became more and more suspicious, and he really wanted to see the Empress again, to test whether it was really what he thought, but there was no chance right now, so he could only reluctantly press the doubts.

As Lu Qingze and Ning Juan had expected, in the next day, there was a change in the residence of the King of Shu.

In the past few days after entering Beijing, Ning Cong’s heart was ashes.

After being passed out in the brothel that day, when he woke up, he didn’t have the courage to look under him again.

However, the place where there was severe pain all the time was still reminding him that his dignity as a man was gone.

The brothel was a mess that day, and the guards rummaged on the ground for a long time before they found the **** thing that rolled into the corner. bedside.

Ning Cong felt heartbroken when he saw it.

He was not a good-natured person in the first place. He would fall into a rage after a little trouble in the past few days. When he saw a maid with a little bit of eyes, he suspected that she was looking under him, secretly laughing, and when he saw a guard walking with wind, he suspected Yu Fang was deliberately showing off that he still had that stuff.

Because of his suspiciousness, many people have been executed in the Shu Palace these few days, and there is a **** smell wafting in the backyard.

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 that he had not brought enough people with him. After being so humiliated, he could only hide in the palace and could not go out.

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 was stabbed, there were fewer people under surveillance outside the King of Shu’s mansion, so he could send people out.

Ning Cong didn’t even think about it, and immediately called the rest of the people under his hand to give orders.

After listening to his words, the people below looked at each other in dismay.

Not to mention the fact that the forces of all parties in the capital are now converging, and assassinating His Majesty will turn the situation into something.

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 gloomy: “A bunch of useless things, now is the most suitable time, the dog emperor definitely thinks that no one will dare to stab any more. Put the most poisonous medicine in Shu on the blade. , I want him to die in pain!”

His face was twisted and ferocious, and he slammed the table: “Cut off his stuff and bring it back to this king, and this king will drink it tonight!”

The subordinates were all speechless: “…”

This is not good.

But recently, the prince’s temper has become more and more manic, and he even cut off some of the most loyal guards. Several of his subordinates dared not say anything, so they responded bravely: “My subordinates understand.”

Ning Cong glanced at these subordinates, sneering in his heart.

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

When he came back, he cut them all up and killed them.

Ning Cong threw down the parchment on the table: “This king has drawn the map for you, you only need to succeed, not to lose.”

He grew up in the palace, and when he was a teenager, he often caught some beautiful palace maids and eunuchs in different corners of the palace. No one knows better than him.

Thinking about his happy days in the past, and then feeling the coldness below, the sinister killing intent in Ning Cong’s heart became more and more churning.

What big plans, what big things, what big business, all are fake, is it important to have his things!

He must hear the news of Ning Lian’s death tonight!

The person 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 light to dark, and when night fell, Ning Cong pinched his nose and drank the medicine prepared by the doctor in the house.

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

They all felt that the lord seemed to be crazy, and his mind was not sober.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a sudden movement outside. It seemed that someone passed through the second gate and walked quickly.

Ning Cong thought that his subordinates had returned, and his face flushed with excitement. As soon as he stepped out of the door, his pupils shrank.

It was not his subordinates who came back, but a group of Tsing Yi Jin Yi Wei.

Jin Yiwei, headed by him, was wearing a flying fish suit with an embroidered spring knife on his back, and showed a sign: “Zheng Yao, the commander of Jin Yiwei, has met His Royal Highness the King of Shu.”

The vicious dog under Ning Juan’s hands, living Yan Luo Zheng Yao.

Ning Cong’s back felt chills, his hands holding the door frame were shaking, and his cheeks twitched: “Breaking into the Shu Palace in the middle of the night, Zheng Yao, are you courting death!”

Zheng Yao raised his face and gave him a sarcastic smile: “Ning Cong, the king of Shu, intended to assassinate His Majesty, the assassin confessed, the poison on the knife, identified by the imperial physician, is unique in Shu – here, take His Royal Highness the King of Shu ‘please’ go back, and the rest will wait and take them away!”

Send to Xuexuan.

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

Lu Qingze and Ning Juan were sitting next to each other, listening to the results of Xiao Jin’s rough interrogation.

Those assassins sent by Ning Cong had long been disturbed by Ning Cong’s extraordinarily mad and twisted behavior recently.

Especially when giving orders to them, Ning Cong couldn’t hide the murderous aura in his eyes.

The moment they were caught and exposed, several assassins hesitated whether it was worth it or not, and didn’t immediately bite the poison between their teeth. Therefore, this time, it was more convenient for Lu Qingze and Ning Juan’s plan.

After a brief interrogation, the remaining assassins recruited a lot, and they repeated the words of the King of Shu as they were.

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

Lu Qing came over to watch with interest.

After only two glances, he couldn’t help choking and almost spit out the tea.

As expected of Ning Cong, even the assassination has to be done in three ways.

Naturally, Ning Juan also swept the sentence, and a layer of coldness hung on his face, and he was disgusting enough.

Lu Qing felt that Ning Cong probably lost his big baby, and the whole person was perverted. How does it feel to be remembered?”

“…” Ning Juan calmed down and threw down the paper, “Re-trial, the paper handed in next time will be more detailed.”

Xiao Jin knew in his heart what to say, silently kowtowed, put away the paper, and continued the interrogation as if he had escaped.

When the others left, Lu Qing also prepared to slip away.

But he was caught by the waist.

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

Lu Qingze: “…”

He didn’t want to ask anything that was his.

He opened Ning Juan’s hand and looked calm: “Ning Cong has already entered the net, you should go to bed early tomorrow, and sleep separately tonight.”

Not only because of the heat.

For the past two days, from one night to the next, even if he can’t do anything, Ning Lian can’t stop holding him.

Every time he accidentally bumped into Ning Wan’s eyes, he would be scalded by the heat hidden in those dark eyes.

Ning Juan didn’t let go of him, but instead grabbed his fingers and rubbed them slowly, but he was not frivolous, causing Lu Qing to tingle from his fingertips to his heart.

He lowered his head and kissed Lu Qingze’s finger, and said slowly, “Teacher.”

Lu Qing hadn’t heard Ning Juan call him 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 stretched out his hand and turned his face over forcefully: “Don’t hide.”

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

Ning Juan gave him a slight smile, not concealing 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 realize that it is better to call a teacher at certain times.

A (?) **** case
