Raising wolves

On the day of Chongyang, on the way of ascending the mountain for sacrifice, Wei Herong wanted to rebel against the remnants of the party, and ambushed hundreds of people on the mountain in advance. Unexpectedly, His Majesty the Emperor had expected that Huang Que was behind, and all the rebels were captured on the spot. Kill them on the spot, and the rest will be handed over to Beizhen Fusi.

In addition, Fan Wei and others who kidnapped Taifu Lu, except for Fan Wei, who blocked Lu Qing's throat with a poisoned arrow, were all brought back to the capital.

However, Lu Qing didn't have the energy to listen to this.

Before returning to the capital, he passed out in a coma.

Fan Wei threw him on the wet and cold ground, aggravating the wind-chill. Even after taking medicine to relieve the headache, on the way back, Lu Qing's body was as hot as a stone thrown into the fire, as if the next moment. Due to the excessive heat, it was fortunate that Xu Shu was called to accompany him, and he gave Lu Qingze another injection in time.

When he returned to the palace, it was already dark, and Lu Qingze's consciousness was completely blurred. He said vaguely that it was cold, and then felt too hot, and wanted to get out of the quilt.

Ning Yan could only wrap him up with a quilt and hug him tightly to prevent him from getting cold.

The curtain of the bed was low, Zheng Yao knelt on the ground and came to report to Fan Wei's remnant who he had caught.

When going down the mountain, Lu Qing was carried away by His Majesty.

He took a peek at that time and didn't think there was any problem. After all, Lord Lu was half unconscious. His Majesty would definitely not allow others to carry Lord Lu down the mountain.

But now that they are all back in the palace, His Majesty is still holding Lord Lu on the bed, isn't this a bit...

Zheng Yao's face flashed across Lu Qingze's mind, and his eyelids jumped even more.

isn't it?

Ning Juan didn't seem to think there was any problem. He listened to Zheng Yao's report without changing his face, and responded coldly: "First, take Qin Yuanan to the Beizhen Fusi for detention, and the rest..."

Two cold words came from behind the bed curtain: "Capital punishment."

He will not let anyone who dares to hurt Lu Qingze.

Zheng Yao stopped talking, and finally silently kowtowed and stepped back.

The surroundings were quiet, except for the slightly heavy breathing of the person in his arms.

Ning Juan used his fingertips to smooth his frown from the high fever, and kissed the teary mole at the corner of his eye pitifully: "It's alright, teacher."

"I'll listen to you, get well soon."

Lu Qing was in a coma for two days, and finally woke up from a strange nightmare.

Opened his eyes and stared for a while, and after his consciousness slowly returned to his original position, Lu Qing glanced at the arrangement around him, and knew where it was, and he was not surprised at all.

Ning tired bedroom.

This is how the little brat has been since he was a child. No matter what it is, he always needs to put it in his own nest and watch it to be relieved.

Although it was not yet winter, the earth dragon had already burned in advance, and it was warm. Changshun stayed by the bed, holding his chin and dozing off. He slipped his hand and slammed his chin on the back of the chair, which was so painful. Ouch, I was overjoyed to find that Lu Qingze opened his eyes and rubbed his chin: "Master Lu, you really scared our family to death. When His Majesty brought you back, you were all hot... Are you hungry? Let's go to the kitchen. Called lunch, oh, and I have to report to Your Majesty!"

Seeing Changshun jumping up to get busy, Lu Qing pressed his forehead, his voice seemed to have been ground by grit, and his voice was low and hoarse: "Where's Your Majesty?"

Changshun hurriedly explained to Ning Juan: "Your Majesty will be by your side when you are free. It's just that the previous court is too busy, so he left two quarters ago."

The Guardian Party had just been removed, and Ning Juan was in power. He was dozens of times as busy as when he was in Jiangyou, so he really couldn't be by Lu Qingze's side all the time.

Instead, Lu Qing felt relieved, coughed sullenly, slowly sat up, and waved his hands sullenly: "You don't have to report to Your Majesty, bring something light, I'll go home after eating."

Chang Shun groaned inwardly and squeezed out a smile: "You haven't recovered yet. You should rest in the palace for a few more days. You look sick, and Your Majesty is worrying about tea and food again."

Changshun, you are very good at sharing your worries for Ninglan.

Lu Qing glanced at him and said indifferently, "I can't afford to be His Majesty's tea, but I don't want to eat, so let's go."

Changshun's scalp was numb, and it was difficult to disobey Lu Qingze, but he didn't dare to disobey Ning Juan. He responded with a smile. As soon as he went out, he grabbed his little apprentice and asked him to run errands to report to His Majesty.

When Lu Qingze finished drinking the porridge, holding the thick black bitter medicine brought by Changshun, and thinking aimlessly if he could suggest Xu Shu to make more pills, Ning Juan came back.

The juvenile emperor was still wearing a rather formal mysterious suit, and he was wrapped in a bit of chill from the outside.

It could also be that he radiated it from himself.

Lu Qing was not surprised at all why Ning Juan came back so quickly, and sighed in his heart: Can't there be a development that surprises him?

Ning Juan's handsome face was tensed and looked a little stern. When he came in, he took a closer look at Lu Qingze's face, then reached out and touched his forehead, his expression softened: "It's better than yesterday."

Lu Qing let him work, and lowered his head to drink the medicine.

Ning Juan didn't say anything, just stood by the bed waiting for him to drink the medicine, watching his snow-white Adam's apple roll clearly a few times, his eyes darkened, and a pity thought came into his heart: why are you so obedient? Did you drink the medicine?

If Lu Qing thinks the medicine is bitter and doesn't want to drink the medicine obediently, he can give Lu Qing the medicine.

Not when Lu Qingze was unconscious, but when he was awake.

When those beautiful light-colored eyes widened in surprise, they should also be very beautiful.

Hidden and dark thoughts swelled silently, and just thinking about it for a while, blood was boiling.

Ning Yan rubbed his fingertips and exhaled softly.

When Lu Qingze finished drinking the medicine, Ning Jian sat down and saw that he was still sick and his lips were very pale. When he came back angrily and wanted to ask, he couldn't help but softened his mouth: "Teacher, why did you just wake up and think about it? Are you out of the palace?"

Lu Qing put down the medicine bowl and said slowly: "Guoguo, outsiders should not live in the harem."

Ning Juan retorted without thinking: "The teacher is not an outsider."

"I'm glad you can think so," Lu Qing just woke up with no sense of taste, and his tongue was numb from the bitterness, so he could only hold a candied fruit, and it was rare to speak clearly, "but I don't want Fan Wei to do so. Misunderstandings like that appear again, affecting your reputation, you are the emperor, and your words and deeds will be recorded in a book."

Ning Wan's jaw line was taut, trying to pour out the words in her heart, she tried her best to restrain herself: "I don't care."

Lu Qing said in a low voice: "You don't have to care, but I do. Guoguo, whether it affects you or me, is not good."

Seeing that Ning Juan was silent for a moment, and his face began to look a little ugly, Lu Qing decided to open up his words a bit: "If I meet a girl I like in the future, it's not easy to explain it to others."

Changshun: "…"

Chang Shun held his breath and silently turned his back, facing the wall, as if he were the air.

Ning Juan stared blankly at Lu Qingze.

Clear breath is like honey, but how did Lu Qing use such soft lips to say such knife-like words?

Perhaps because the high fever subsided, Lu Qingze's face was pale.

After being lethargic for two days, I lost a few points.

These are restraining Ning's emotions.

Lu Qing looked directly into his eyes without hesitation, and his lips moved again.

Ning Juan's temples throbbed, only to think that if Lu Qingze said one more thing he didn't like, he might not be able to hold back his emotions anymore. Before Lu Qingze's words could be said, he got up and flicked his sleeves and strode away. dorm.

Only then did Chang Shun cautiously get rid of the wall-faced state, leaned his head over, and saw Lu Qing facing Ning Juan's anger, he sat there calmly, ate another candied fruit, and couldn't help but said with a bitter face: " Lord Lu, don't make Your Majesty angry..."

Lu Qing thought it was interesting and glanced at him with a smile: "Did I say something very irritating?"

Changshun is speechless.

According to common sense, it is nothing, but His Majesty is different!

His Majesty's thoughts are becoming more and more difficult to hide, did Master Lu really not find out?

Although it is not good to say this, but His Majesty just wants Lord Lu, who can stop it?

Lu Qing choked on Changshun, swallowed the candied fruit, felt that the bitterness in his mouth was not so much, he lifted the quilt, and sat up slowly: "Changshun, please bring me some clothes."

When he was in the carriage before, Lu Qing thought for a long time before fainting.

He has been with Ning Juan for many years, and he has too few people in contact with him, so he has excessive reliance on him.

Now that Ning Juan has removed the obstacles in the court, he has truly stood on the pinnacle of power, and he no longer needs to rely on anyone.

Standing in a place where it is too cold, Ning Juan will understand that the teacher can only educate and guide him, but he will not be the one who will accompany him to the end.

Before that, it's better for him not to get too close to Ninglan.

After eating the porridge and drinking the medicine, Lu Qing regained some strength, put on the clothes sent by Changshun, and wanted to leave the palace and return to the house.

The autumn wind was cold outside, seeing that Lu Qingze was still coughing lightly, Changshun couldn't help it, he held Lu Qingze down, ran to find Ning Juan, and bit his head to tell the news that Lu Qingze was leaving the palace.

As soon as the voice fell, the room was filled with silence and depression, making it hard to breathe.

After a while, Ning Juan closed his eyes and said coldly, "Send him back."

Changshun didn't expect His Majesty to respond like this. He was dumbfounded and didn't dare to ask. He bowed his head in response, and then left.

Ning Juan walked to the window, saw Lu Qing from the gap, and was helped out of the house by Chang Shun. He seemed to be aware of his gaze. He paused a little, didn't look back, and got into the tightly covered carriage. .

Looking at the thin figure that disappeared behind the curtain, Ning Juan gritted his teeth.

Obviously found, obviously know everything.

Lu Qing would not think that he had an illusion of attachment to him.

In front of Jiang You and his party, he really couldn't tell what that kind of feeling was. He was tortured all day long, and was terrified by every contact with Lu Qingze.

But he already understood.

He clearly knew what he wanted.

Ning Wan thought indifferently, Lu Huaixue, I will give you a little more time to think clearly.

Lu Qing was not well at first, and after returning to Lu Mansion, he was ill for more than half a month.

For the past half a month, people were taken away by Jin Yiwei every day. When they went to court in the morning, most of them were empty below.

There are only two cabinet ministers left in the cabinet now, and the halls are waiting for empty seats, and everyone has vague guesses in their hearts.

There must be Lu Qingze among them, right?

Lu Qing is now also the minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the Imperial College.

The Ministry of Officials is where officials are promoted, and officials have to look at their faces. Many of the students in the Imperial Academy can become officials without taking the imperial examination. Naturally, countless people have sharpened their heads and want to squeeze in... If they enter the cabinet and become the first assistant, said It's no exaggeration to have authority.

Even when Wei Herong was the most powerful, he was not as powerful as he is now.

Being in a high position is also on the cusp of the storm, and naturally countless people are talking about it.

But unexpectedly, His Majesty did not seem to have any intention to fill the vacancy for the time being, and even Lu Qingze, whom he respected and trusted, was not selected.

In addition, Lu Qing could not be ill for many days, and His Majesty did not visit Lu Mansion in person as before, but only asked people to send some gifts to Lu Mansion from time to time.

Everyone couldn't help but speculate on the holy meaning, thinking about the two teachers and students who have always been happy and harmonious. Could it be that there is some conflict?

It is no problem for ordinary teachers and students to have conflicts, but this student is His Majesty the Emperor.

After pulling down the fate of the emperors and teachers of the past dynasties, everyone didn't know whether they should go and curry favor with Lu Qingze, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

Lu Qing, on the other hand, supported the sick body and raised the little His Majesty with one hand. Now His Majesty acts neatly and ruthlessly, and his mind is so difficult to figure out, which is actually quite respectable.

It would be tragic if he ended up like that.

Although many people speculate on the holy will and dare not act, many people choose to take it as the top priority, and Lu Qing has not stopped in his illness. , bring a bunch of gifts here.

Lu Qing's head was so big that he simply closed the door and saw no guests, so Chen Xiaodao refused.

Now that he is in an important position, it doesn't matter if he offends a few people. If he really wants to accept all the rituals, then the problem is big.

Apart from a few officials who were brought up by Zheng Yao and Lu Qingze, the most frank person who came to visit was Shi Rongfeng.

Hearing that Lu Qing was ill, the general almost came on a horse, but Tang Qing persuaded him to get on the carriage, and led him all the way.

As soon as he arrived at the Lu Mansion, he saw Lu Qing was sick and crooked. Sitting in a house with a burning charcoal basin, he had to wrap himself in a big cloak and hold a small stove. Shi Rongfeng was amazed and laughed, "You kid, why don't you have me? This dying man is Jian Lang."

Tang Qing's blue veins jumped on his forehead: "General! Don't open your mouth and shut your mouth, taboo, taboo!"

Shi Rongfeng didn't care: "What is taboo, isn't it true?"

Tang Qing was so angry: "Master Lu, the general can listen to what you said, please tell him!"

Lu Qing is rarely long-winded. Shi Rongfeng is afraid that Tang Qing will ruin him, so he rushes people: "Go down, you talk a lot."

When no one was around, Shi Rongfeng glanced outside and said meaningfully, "Your Majesty is very worried about your safety."

The entire inner courtyard of Lu Mansion is guarded by palace guards.

After the incident with Fan Wei, Ning Juan silently dispatched twice the number of people.

Lu Qing did not change his face: "Although the Guardian Party has been eliminated, there are still hidden dangers. It is normal for Your Majesty to be more cautious."

This is true. Wei Herong's people have been rooted in the imperial court for many years, and many officials have to make friends with the Wei Party for the sake of their future. Under the complex roots, the network spread out is so large that it is difficult to estimate.

What's more, there is such a stubborn old man Xu Ge.

Although Xu Ge is old and a little confused, when he was young, he was also the head of the officials. The world was full of peaches and plums. There were also his disciples among the courtiers who had supported Ning Juan early on. Ning Juan could not tolerate his finger-pointing. Even in the face of those officials, he had to find an irrefutable reason to get rid of him.

How can Shi Rongfeng be so fooled, he said bluntly: "I see the current wind direction in the capital, and they all say that the Guardian Party has collapsed, and another Lu Party will emerge."

Lu Qing laughed and laughed: "This really broke me."

"I know you don't have that kind of mind," Shi Rongfeng didn't know what he remembered, and his tone sank, "I've never had that kind of mind."

Lu Qing knew that the old man must have remembered the cold heart of being stabbed in the back by the royal family more than ten years ago, and listened quietly without answering.

Shi Rongfeng withdrew his gaze and said, "When my father and brother went on an expedition, they left me alone in the manor of the country, and when the empress dowager saw me alone, she felt sympathetic and took me into the palace to support me. I was ostracized by other princes. , It was the late emperor who took the initiative to make friends with me. He was mediocre in aptitude since he was a child, but he had a good temper. He taught me how to paint, and I feel like a brother."

Lu Qing never thought that General Shi and Emperor Chong'an had such a past.

"When the emperor ascended the throne, the empress dowager also passed away. At that time, I had been in the army for several years. When I heard the news, I hurried back to Beijing and knelt to say goodbye. The emperor lifted me up from the ground and cried a lot, saying that I would trust me for the rest of my life. Brothers."

Shi Rongfeng's tone was neither resentful nor resentful, with a bit of calm after experiencing a thousand sails: "Huaixue, I do not deny that the current His Majesty is majestic and talented, but you must remember that their royal family is born with sick."

Lu Qing fell silent.

Until now, what he thought about the most was only the misplaced feelings Ning Juan had for him.

Although I have also seriously considered the words of Duan Lingguang and Wei Herong, one of them is from the perspective of future generations' view of history, and the other is a well-known official.

After all, Ning Juan was the child he watched grow up.

Wasn't the relationship between General Shi and Emperor Chong'an not close before?

Are the feelings deep enough?

Lu Qing was silent for a long time, then whispered, "I still... want to see it again."

Shi Rongfeng didn't say much: "There are rumors in Beijing, you just need to pay more attention."

The two talked secretly in the room for a while, and the guard outside walked around twice.

Mr. Shi has been galloping on the battlefield all his life. He was extremely keen on such eyes, and rolled his eyes in annoyance: "Okay, if I stay with you for a while, there are so many people watching inside and out, it's very uncomfortable, I'm going back, When you feel better, come to the palace, go to my place, no one dares to stare at you."

Lu Qing nodded with a wry smile, got up and wanted to send it off, but Shi Rongfeng waved his hand, indicating that there was no need, and went out to call Tang Qing, walking with a steady gait and an air of spirit.

Chen Xiaodao stuck his head out: "The general seems to be in good spirits, isn't he getting better soon?"

He didn't know Shi Rongfeng's physical condition yet, and thought that Shi Rongfeng was really as healthy as he looked.

Lu Qing didn't know how to explain to Chen Xiaodao for a while, but smiled helplessly, rubbed his head, and avoided answering: "Have the documents from the Ministry of Personnel and Guozijian delivered today?"

Chen Xiaodao sighed: "It's here, I've sorted it according to what you said, son, so you can look at it later."

Lu Qing clenched his fist to his lips, coughed a few times, and then turned around to go to the study to handle official business.

Chen Xiaodao followed Lu Qingze and muttered, "Young Master, why didn't your Majesty come to see you, it's been more than half a month, so you shouldn't be so busy? When you were sick in the past, don't talk about it. It's been half a month, even half a day, and Your Majesty can't wait. He will come from the palace in the middle of the night... Could it be that you and His Majesty are quarreling again?"

Lu Qing was meditated by him all the way, gave him a glance, sat in the armchair, and raised a pen on his wrist: "What rumors have you heard outside?"

Chen Xiaodao scratched his head and laughed dryly.

He thought he was asking very subtle.

Lu Qing lowered his eyelids, flipped through the stack of official documents in front of him, and swept through them efficiently, his voice was clear and light: "Don't listen to those people's words, hear what they say, and speculate randomly, a few sentences can be true."

Chen Xiaodao shrank his neck to help him study the ink, and said "um" embarrassedly.

Lu Qingze looked at Chen Xiaodao from the corner of his eyes and thought about it seriously.

He was thinking about retreating, so naturally he couldn't just think about himself. Fortunately, he was alone, and only Chen Xiaodao needed to worry about it.

After thinking for a while, Lu Qing said: "Xiaodao, the general is not in good health, and Lin Xi can't speak. You often go to Wuguo Gongfu to accompany them."

Chen Xiaodao has been busy taking care of Lu Qingze recently. He hasn't been to the Guogong's mansion for a long time. He didn't think much about hearing the sound, and nodded happily: "Okay."

Lu Qing smiled and continued to deal with official business.

Wu Guogong's mansion is the best choice, even if Ning Juan wants to catch Chen Xiaodao to go crazy after he leaves, he won't go crazy to the Guogong mansion.

After finishing the official business, the night was dark and the autumn night was cold.

Lu Qing rubbed his eyes, put down his pen, and went back to the house to drink medicine and fall asleep.

I don't know why, but recently he has been sleeping very deeply. Unlike usual, he is either easily disturbed by subtle sounds, or awakened from nightmares at night. He often wakes up in a cold sweat, tossing and turning and can't fall asleep.

Probably because he slept well, Lu Qing coughed intermittently for a few days, and the lingering cold for a long time was finally gone.

Ning Juan is like having eyes in the Lu Mansion, and Lu Qingze was just two days old, so he called Lu Qingze into the palace to discuss matters, and the reason was very legitimate.

After the turmoil between the government and the opposition, the Chong'an Emperor had a lot of troubles, and a hundred wastes were waiting to be revived. Lu Qing, as an important official of the country, naturally had to participate.

We haven't seen each other for nearly a month, but Lu Qing actually misses Ning Juan quite a bit. In the past, he and Ning Juan faced each other almost every day. How could he not see each other for such a long time in the Cold War?

When he stepped into the south study, he couldn't help but secretly glanced at Ning Juan.

The little emperor now has the power, his high-spirited spirit, bright eyes, and even the little gloomy little mushroom that grew in the corner of the wall in the past is gone.

It seems that proper distance is still effective.

Lu Qing heaved a sigh of relief, and after bowing, sat beside Feng Ge.

There were some familiar faces in the study, looking at Lu Qingze with different expressions.

In the past, Lu Qingze and His Majesty did not have such a relationship, and His Majesty did not react when he saw Mrs. Lu.

Could it be that, as rumored by the outside world, teachers and students are not in harmony?

This is true, tsk tsk.

Everyone had their own thoughts and offered words to His Majesty.

Lu Qing's throat wasn't very comfortable, so he didn't open his mouth while drinking tea.

Ning tired endured and endured.

He waited for Lu Qingze for a month, but Lu Qingze has this attitude?

He was still thinking in front of him, as long as Lu Qing is willing to accept the softness, even if he doesn't say those irritating words, he can be the first assistant. The greater the power and the higher the status, the harder it is to leave easily. There will be more time, be patient, and let Lu Qing accept him.

All these powers were acquired by him with Lu Qingze's company and guidance, so what if he split it up with Lu Qingze?

But Lu Qing obviously still won't let go.

His Majesty the Emperor finally couldn't bear it any longer, and said lukewarmly, "Don't Lu Qing have anything to say?"

The rest of the ministers snorted again in their hearts: My God, Your Majesty didn't call Mr. Lu Qingze!

In the past, no matter who came before or after, when His Majesty saw Lu Qingze, he never called him a teacher, even a senior like Xu Ge was not treated that way.

It's definitely not in harmony!

Today is different from the past. The Guardian Party has been eliminated, but Lu Qing is in power, and there is a faint suspicion of rebirth. Daqi has experienced the impact of the **** party and the Guardian party in succession. It is normal for His Majesty to guard against him. Inevitably.

Everyone sighed inwardly, and frantically glanced at Lu Qingze to see his reaction.

Lu Qing didn't have any special reaction. Hearing that, he put down the tea cup and said in a harmonious voice, "I have been looking through the roster of students in the Imperial College Supervisor these days, and found some problems."

Then he really expressed his opinions and suggestions on how to build a better system.

Ning Jian saw that he had no trouble, he was completely businesslike, and was inexplicably furious. He pressed the throbbing eyebrows and listened patiently to what he had to say.

Lu Qing didn't mean to be tired on purpose, but proposed reforms with sincerity.

Most of the prison students in Daqi State Children's Prison are the children of the gentry who are in the shadows. They are generally excluded from the ordinary people's livelihood.

Lu Qing, on the other hand, picked out the list of doubts about the promotion from the documents of the Ministry of Personnel Jingcha, and some of them came from the Imperial College.

After Lu Qing finished his advice on recruiting students, before anyone else could speak, Ning Juan nodded decisively: "What Lu Qing said is very true."

Lu Qing's proposal to restrict the admission of the children of the gentry and increase the difficulty of the assessment, the first point is especially hated.

But after getting along for a short time, all the ministers have become very clear that His Majesty said nothing and has a bad temper. If he directly objected now, he might be dragged out.

He could only hold back his breath and see what Lu Qing could say.

Lu Qing's back was straight, ignoring the gazes pinned to his back, and the conversation changed: "And Wei Chen thinks that we can also open a female class and recruit some female students."

In this era, it is difficult for women to enter the school. Even a lady from an official family in the capital can at most learn words at home and read some specific books.

Now that Lu Qing has the power to change, he naturally wants to do his best to change.

Anyway, he didn't plan to stay in this hateful and envious position for long, so why not just do what he wanted to do before leaving.

As soon as these words came out, the other people who were still watching Lu Qingze and His Majesty's liveliness boiled: "What?!"

"Isn't it possible that Mr. Lu has not recovered from his illness?"

Xu Ge blew his beard and stared: "Nonsense, Guozijian has never accepted female disciples, there is no such precedent!"

Lu Qing stood still, and calmly brushed away the tea: "It would be good if there is no precedent, and this precedent will be set today."

As soon as these words came out, it became even more lively.

Ning Juan looked unpredictable, listening to the dispute below, his eyes fell on Lu Qingze.

Contrary to the excited attitude of others, Lu Qing was as graceful and calm as ever, and even took a sip of tea in a hurry, as if the person who was being yelled at and strongly opposed was not himself.

Teachers always do.

No matter who he is facing, he has such a calm and wait-and-see attitude, like an immortal who stands high above the moon and looks down on everything coldly.

He was infatuated with Lu Qingze like this, but he didn't want him to always look at him so calmly and arrogantly, falling into a sea of ​​ups and downs alone.

He wanted to see Lu Qing out of control.

Want to stir up a pool of still water ripples.

Ning Wanwan looked at Lu Qingze's eyes that couldn't be concealed, but nothing could be seen on his face, and he tapped his knuckles on the table.

After two "knocks", neither light nor heavy, everyone quieted down and looked over.

Ning Wan looked at Lu Qingze's pale red lips soaked with tea under the mask, his heart was hot, but his tone was cold: "Except for Lu Qing, please step back."

His Majesty looked at Lu Qingze with a terrifying look, and he definitely wanted to scold Lu Qingze!

However, it still saves him a bit of face, after all, it's a teacher and a student.

Everyone analyzed in their hearts, gleefully glanced at Lu Qingze, and retreated.

In an instant, the study room was empty, and the tide-like noise also receded. Lu Qing guessed their thoughts from the eyes of the others, and raised his eyelids: "Your Majesty has left Wei Chen down to scold him alone?"

Ning Juan didn't say a word, got up and walked around the desk, walked to Lu Qingze's side, and reached out to grab his hand.

Lu Qing didn't expect the little brat to move his hands and feet directly, he was stunned for a moment, then ducked, but didn't dodge, his cold fingers fell into the hot and powerful palms, and rubbed slowly a few times.

"The teacher said nonsense, how could I reprimand you." Ning Lan held his hand and stared at him, "This kind of change, the teacher can tell me in private, saying it in front of them will definitely make them dissatisfied."

Lu Qing's eyelids jumped from rubbing, and he pulled his fingers back suddenly, and only mentioned business affairs: "Does your majesty think it's okay?"

Ning Juan pondered his thoughts and guessed that in Lu Qingze's hometown, women could also be admitted to school with men. After pondering, he nodded and said, "It's true that there is no precedent for this, but it might be worth a try."

I didn't expect that Ning Juan was so easy to talk to, but Lu Qing showed a satisfied smile: "It's fine if your majesty allows it. If there is nothing else, the minister will retire first."

Ning Juan frowned, his face calm: "Long time no see, teacher won't even stay with me for a meal?"

He promised Lu Qingze, and he took the initiative to make concessions!

Lu Qing nimbly sideways flashed out of Ning Juan's circle, like a nimble cat, with his hands in his sleeves: "It's not very convenient."

When he refused, Lu Qing was ready to provoke Ning Juan again. After all, he was the noble and unparalleled emperor. After voluntarily backing down, he was saved face, and he would definitely be displeased.

Unexpectedly, Ning Juan just stared at him for a while, and then smiled inexplicably: "Then teacher, let's go back first, it's cold recently, rest early, don't get sick again."

It seems to be cured?

After thinking about it, Ning Juan gradually understood that those feelings were misplaced and should not exist.

Seeing that Ning Juan no longer lost his temper, Lu Qing felt more relieved, turned around and briskly left the palace and returned to the mansion.

When it was getting late, Chen Xiaodao came to remind him, and Lu Qing put down his pen, took a bath, and prepared to rest.

When he went to take a bath, Chen Xiaodao brought the medicine fried in the kitchen into the house, which was just right now.

Lu Qing really didn't want to drink much.

He is almost better, why is he still drinking.

If you drink it every day, people will be marinated.

Looking at the yellowed and withered potted plants by the window, Lu Qing's conscience was still intact, and he insisted on the principle of sustainable development. He only let it share half of the medicine, and he barely drank the rest.

Everything went well today, Ning Guoguo seemed to have figured it out a lot, and only took half of the medicine before going to bed.

Lu Qing lay down on the bed and was in a happy mood. The medicine seemed to contain sleeping ingredients, and his eyelids became heavy after a while.

It's just that tonight, Lu Qing didn't sleep as well as he used to.

In the middle of the night, his body had fallen into a deep sleep, but his consciousness was still a little awake, and he vaguely heard a faint sound approaching.

Someone walked to the window and watched him.

Immediately, the man stretched out his hand, his fingertips rubbed the tear mole at the corner of his eye, and finally stopped on his lips, grinding it hard.

It feels so clear it doesn't feel like a dream.

The author has something to say:

Lu Qingze: Give him some time to let him figure out that he doesn't really like me.

Ning Juan: Give him some time to let him figure out that I actually like him.
