MTL - Raising Wolves-v2 Chapter 81

Following the shock of Ning Juan's plea for joy last night, Lu Qing was once again hit by a mental shock.

The tea in his hand was almost unsteady, his eyes widened slightly, staring at Ning Juan in disbelief.

His Majesty the Emperor's face was quite serious, as if he was really worried about his leg being frayed.

He lowered his voice and stared at Lu Qingze's legs with deep eyes. Originally, he didn't mean to be affectionate, but it also became a little charming.

Lu Qingze's memory was pulled back to that night by him.

In the middle of the night, he was forcibly pressed by the young emperor and took off his trousers. The young Ning Juan knelt down in front of him and carefully rubbed the medicine for him... After wiping, he blew a cool breath on his legs.

At the time, he didn't quite understand it, but now it seems that 80% of the wolf cub did it on purpose!

That time it was worn on horseback, this time it was...

Lu Qing's whole body was on fire, his ears were silently stained with blood, his slender fingers trembled, his face was not good, and he warned Ning Juan to stop talking with his eyes.

It was rare for Ning Wan to see his face, and he liked it very much. When he didn't notice, he took out a box of delicate ointment from his sleeve, and his eyes were burning: "Huaixue's skin is tender, if it is worn, I will apply the medicine for you. ?"

After a pause, he added in a hoarse voice, "I promise, just watch and do nothing."

It's better not to add.

Sima Zhao's heart is well known.

Lu Qing put down the tea cup "right", and said without mercy: "Get out."

That night, Changshun, who was standing outside the Warm Pavilion and really felt happy for His Majesty, watched as His Majesty the Emperor was kicked out of the Warm Pavilion.

And at night, before Lu Qing went to bed, he let people in and sealed the doors and windows of the bedroom.

In the middle of the night, Ning Juan wanted to get into Lu Qingze's house like before, and when he secretly warmed the bed for Lu Qingze, he found that not only the door was locked, but the window was also locked.

Chang Shun held the lantern and waited by the side, not daring to speak: "..."

Last night, Lord Lu accompanied His Majesty for half the night, came out in the morning, and avoided people to bathe. No matter what you think, something happened!

We played chess together tonight, and the atmosphere looked good.

He thought it was done.

My Majesty, why did you annoy Lord Lu again?

Chang Shun thought with a sad face, it's true that the emperor is not in a hurry for the eunuch.

To Changshun's surprise, Ning Juan didn't feel unhappy because Lu Qingze locked the doors and windows to prevent him. After standing in front of the door for a while, he smiled inexplicably.

Changshun swallowed his saliva.

Wouldn't it be outrageous laughing?

For a long time, Changshun had a very clear understanding: if Lord Lu was not happy, His Majesty would not be happy either. If His Majesty was not happy, those who served by their side would have to live a terrifying life.

If these two people quarrel, then the good days will really come to an end, which means that they will have to live in a suffocating atmosphere until Mr. Lu is popular with His Majesty Shun Mao.

Ning Juan ignored Changshun and said to himself, "As expected, I know..."

Lu Qing knew that he would sneak in at night, but he didn't say anything and didn't take precautions. He was only annoyed by him tonight, so he had the doors and windows sealed.

Even according to his usual understanding of Lu Qingze, Lu Qing allowed him to enter the house, probably because he thought his hands and feet were too cold and it was uncomfortable to fall asleep, so he closed one eye and thought he would not be cold. Mrs. soup to use.

By summer, he won't be so popular.

It is estimated that if you want Lu Qing to go to the dragon bed, you will have to coax and deceive, and you will be disgusted if you get close.

But he was still indescribably happy.

"I'm really cheap."

With a smile on the corner of Ning Juan's mouth, he made a low self-evaluation.

Chang Shun was so frightened that he almost fell to his knees. After a long while, seeing Ning Juan staring at the pitch-black room and saying nothing, he asked tremblingly, "Your Majesty...?"

Since Mr. Lu's house can't be entered, do you want to go back to the Qianqing Palace tonight?

Ning Juan turned around and said, "I am staying at Jixue Xuan."

Ning Juan also had a residence in Jixuexuan. The decoration of the room was not luxurious, it was only a temporary residence.

After waving Changshun away, Ning Juan undressed and went to bed, pillowing on the plain soft pillow that Lu Qingze threw when he threw the fire last time.

The pillow was still stained with Lu Qingze's breath. Although the plum scent was not as warm and fragrant as my own, it still made his slightly twitched eyebrows relax and relieved the faint headache.

Sniffing the familiar plum fragrance, he just fell into a deep sleep.

On the second night, Ning Juan was also blocked from the outside, and when His Majesty didn't seem to care much, Chang Shun knew that 80% of the time the two were not really quarreling, but had a little innocence.

I don't understand, I really don't understand.

Chang Shun choked for a while, and didn't worry anymore.

Lu Qing was not only annoyed by Ning Juan's words, but because of rubbing the medicine, he inevitably thought of a lot of past events.

The more I thought about it, the more I became angry, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that I used to be ignorant and innocent, so stupid that I didn't want to give Ning Juan a good face.

At night, the doors and windows were closed to prevent Ning Juan from sneaking in. During the day, Ningsi would come to class more and more. Even if Ning Juan came over, he couldn't get along with Lu Qingze alone.

But the more Ning Si brought it to Lu Qingze himself, he couldn't say anything, even if he was a little depressed, he couldn't say anything.

After March, the wind in April was a little gentler, and the weather gradually warmed up.

When Xu Shu came to check Lu Qingze's ankle, he only stayed for a moment, then he was sweating from the heat, severely criticized Tong Lu Qingze, and told him to stop the earth dragon.

The sky is getting hot, and the earth dragon is still burning, so don't be afraid of being too dry!

Can your body take it?

Lu Qing didn't feel dry, but the more Ning Si stayed in his room for a while, the more dry his nose bleeds. It was estimated that if Ning Jian came in, it would be more serious, so he followed the doctor's advice and stopped the dragon.

It wasn't very cold during the day, but at night the temperature difference was quite large, and it was still cold. He could only put a few more mothers in the quilt to bask in it, but when he woke up, his hands and feet were still cold.

Sleeping is getting worse.

The next day, Lu Qing checked Xiao Ning Siyue's homework in the study, and listened to him stutteringly recite a Book of Poetry he had learned yesterday: "Simple and simple, all will dance. Fang Zhong, Sun Fang Zhong... Shuo Ren Mata Mata, public court ten thousand dances. Powerful like a tiger, powerful like a tiger, powerful like a tiger..."

After stammering a few times before finishing the memorization, Ning Siyue put his hands behind his back, twisting his little hands behind his back, his face full of frustration: "Master Lu, am I stupid?"

Lu Qing patted his head: "Stupid, you are only five years old, and you are already very powerful."

Ning Si became more and more dejected: "But I heard Eunuch Changshun say that when my father Huang first learned to calligraphy, he could memorize it by reading it once."

That is, Ning Juan only had the opportunity to come into contact with these at the age of eleven or twelve, and the progress can be said to be a thousand miles away.

Lu Qing smiled: "Your father was really smart when he was a child, but you are not bad. Why does Your Highness care about this?"

Ning Si looked at him with a gentle smile, and his eyes were flat with him, sincere and gentle, he mustered up his courage, blushed, with awe and admiration in his eyes, and whispered, "Royal father is very powerful, so do I. I want to be so powerful and make my father proud of me."

What a good boy.

Lu Qing's heart softened and rubbed his head: "Your Majesty will."

The two of them stayed in the house for a long time, and Lu Qing got up and said, "Your Highness goes out for two steps, you can't stay in the house all the time."

Ning Si nodded his head slightly, and walked out of the study with Lu Qing, just in time to bump into Ning Juan who walked in through the Moon Cave.

Ning Siyue has always been quiet and well-behaved in front of Ning Juan, for fear that if there is any irregularity in the rules, he will be displeased by the royal father. As soon as he stops jumping, he bows his head obediently: "My son has seen the royal father."

Ning Juan responded lightly, "How did you learn today's homework?"

The words were spoken by Ning Siyue, but his eyes fell on Lu Qingze.

Ning Siyue was suddenly a little nervous.

Lu Qing never hesitated to praise good students: "Your Highness is very smart, he knows a little bit, and he has done his homework very well."

Ning Jian glanced at Ning Siyue, who seemed to be relieved, and hummed, "Not bad."

Just as he was talking, another person came in hotly from outside: "Well, Your Majesty, you asked to check..."

His eyes swept to Lu Qingze, his voice stopped abruptly, his eyes widened: "Lu, Lu..."

After stammering twice, in His Majesty's cold glance, he didn't dare to finish bald.

Lu Qing had been training in Jixuexuan for more than a month, and when he saw the fourth old friend, he nodded happily: "Zheng Commander, long time no see."

Zheng Yao was dumbfounded.

When Ning Juan arrested Lu Qingze last month, he was not there. When Qian Mingming was being judged, Ning Juan didn't tell him the reason. Went on a business trip.

Hearing the news from the capital, I was only a little surprised and emotional.

Back then, His Majesty was so sad that he vomited blood because of Lord Lu's death, but now His Majesty has established a new Empress.

Three years is neither long nor short. He is happy that His Majesty can come out, but there are also a few subtleties, which shocked Master Lu to be forgotten.

Unexpectedly, the new queen that was being discussed all over the capital was actually Lu Qingze.

After all, His Majesty's sadness and pain were real, not knowing it. The only possibility is that Lord Lu planned a suspended animation in order to leave the capital, or in order to leave His Majesty.

According to Zheng Yaoliao's understanding of Ning Wan, His Majesty must be furious when he learns of all this.

Now that Lu Qing was arrested, he couldn't understand how the two of them could still talk so peacefully.

Zheng Yao is like a tiger, but he is as careful as a hair. After turning around in his head, he suppressed all the shock on his face, haha ​​and laughed dryly: "It's been a long time."

Ning Juan retracted his gaze on him: "What's the matter."

Zheng Yao swallowed his saliva and knew in his heart what was going on with the matter that His Majesty asked him to investigate: "The other matter you asked him to investigate has already been investigated. Three years ago, there was indeed a death row prisoner sent to the Ministry of Justice. After that, his whereabouts are unknown, and his family also moved out of the capital at the end of the fifth year of Shengyuan, and now they are far away in the area of ​​Huguang, and they have bought a manor house and live a very prosperous life."

Ning Juan nodded slowly, and repeated in an unpredictable tone, "Death prisoner."

Lu Qingze: "..."

I knew that Ning Juan would investigate to the end.

He wiped the clues clean back then, but no matter how cleanly he wiped them off, it was something that really happened. If he checked carefully, he could still be excavated.

I just didn't expect it to be so fast.

There was no joy or anger on Ning Juan's face: "Go on."

Zheng Yao had already guessed what was going on. He glanced at Lu Qingze sympathetically, bowed before turning around and left.

It's like running away.

After all, he is a death row prisoner from the imperial prison. Even if something happened in the Ministry of Punishment, His Majesty is really angry, maybe he will also be affected by Chiyu.

Lu Qing faced Ning Juan's dark pupils and rubbed his temples with a headache.

Are you going to go crazy again?

Unexpectedly, Ning Juan was not angry, and his tone was even quite calm: "Go back to the room and sit and talk."

Said, perhaps to reassure Lu Qingze, Ning Siyue said, "Follow up."

The two returned to the study room, and Lu Qing looked at Ning Siyue who was sitting beside him, feeling that Ning Juan didn't look like he was going to settle accounts.

After all, the child is on the side, he can't go crazy in front of the child, right?

Ning Juan didn't go crazy, he sat calmly in front of Lu Qingze and said, "I asked Zheng Yao to go to Shuzhong."

No wonder it took so long to see you.

Lu Qing saw that he was going to talk about business, and he calmed down a little: "How is the situation in Shuzhong?"

"Ning Cong is indeed raising tens of thousands of private soldiers in the grain camp," Ning Juan lightly tapped the table with his fingertips, "Moreover, he has secret contacts with Jiaozhi."

Lu Qing frowned: "This idiot."

Jiaozhi was a vassal state of Daqi. When Emperor Chong'an was in the state, he had the heart of not being a minister.

When Ning Juan first took power, not only was the treasury empty, but there were piles of moths up and down, which gnawed at the bright and beautiful surface of Daqi, and the backside was bumpy. In fact, it was not suitable for martial arts. Reluctantly, he took a breath from the shadow of Emperor Chong'an.

It was also because of his iron-blooded means that he shocked the surrounding countries, so he had time to do this.

But those who are restless will move sooner or later.

When Emperor Chong'an was there, the Tartar envoys came to Daqi to celebrate their birthday, secretly intending to hook up with Wei Herong, Wei Herong agreed on the surface, and smeared the Tartar envoys behind his back, causing them to suffer a big loss and go to him. I didn't dare to come back to Daqi in the next few years.

Those who were scolded by the common people as big treacherous and evil people knew the righteousness. As a relative of the royal family, Ning Cong colluded with foreigners. This behavior is really stupid and bad, and there is no bottom line.

"Next month is your birthday," Lu Qing pondered, "Does Ning Cong dare to come?"

Ning Juan smiled: "He has to come."

Ning Cong indulged in sensuality, lingering in the wine pond and meat forest, and he did not avoid meat and vegetables, but he didn't know what was going on, and the relationship between the children was very thin.

After so many years, only a few of the concubines raised in his house have been pregnant, and not many have been born smoothly, and even fewer have been born and can be raised safely.

He only had two sons who were brought up to adulthood. One went hunting in the mountains last year and fell off his horse. After being trampled and injured by the horse, he was taken away by the tiger. The other was the only one alive, Ning Cong. The heart of the flesh, please seal the prince early.

Now, as long as a concubine concubine is pregnant and can still give birth to a child, Ning Cong will be rewarded heavily.

Lu Qing calmly poured a cup of tea, took a sip of the tea, and said in a cool tone: "Obviously it's not his concubine's problem, it's him who can't."

This kind of overindulgence, the quality is not good.

Ning Juan was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood. He didn't expect to be able to spit out such words from Lu Qingze's mouth. A few inexplicable smiles appeared in his eyes, and he whispered, "Don't worry, Huaixue, I'm fine."

What's your business or not?

Lu Qing almost choked: "Shut up!"

The kids are still watching!

Although Ning Siyue listened ignorantly, his attitude was very serious, and he memorized every word carefully. Hearing this, his big eyes were full of daze.

What doesn't work? What are the father and father talking about?

Lu Qing saw that Ning Juan had to work hard to prove that he was "very good", and decided to skip this: "You threatened him with his precious son?"

Ning Ruan nodded: "If he doesn't come, his prince will have to come."

If Ning Cong had many sons, he wouldn't care what would happen if a son was sent to the capital.

But now that he is also old, he is the only one who has such a fruit, and he dares not take any more risks. Eighty percent of them believe that he is Ning Juan's uncle, and it is safer to come here than his son.

Lu Qing raised his eyes and said, "It seems that your birthday banquet will be very lively. A nest of people from east, west, north and south can gather a few tables to hang horses."

Not only are the restless people coming from the southwest, but the vassal kings from all over the country will also send people to come, and there are also the three princes of the Tartars. When these people gather together, it is really... a happy gathering.

Ning Juan looked at him unblinkingly: "I have prepared everything, only one thing, and there are shortcomings."

"what?"

"Will Huai Xue accompany me to attend?"

Lu Qing was stunned and fell silent.

If he promised Ning Juan to attend together, it would mean that he was willing to admit his relationship with Ning Juan.

There was a lot of uproar in the capital, and no one knew that His Majesty had established a male queen. If he didn't want to come forward, Ning Juan would be a little embarrassed.

Ning Juan observed Lu Qingze carefully, and when he saw Lu Qingze's unconsciously tense shoulders and neck, he felt lost, but he didn't force him to interrupt his thinking: "Don't think too much, and don't give me the answer right now, You can go with me if you want, and I won't force you if you don't."

Lu Qing pursed his lips, and his eyelashes trembled slightly: "Well."

After Ning Juan finished speaking, he glanced at Ning Siyue, who had a serious face, and began to investigate: "I talked about this with your father, but what do you understand?"

Lu Qingze: "..."

He is only five years old, so he understands something.

Even the future prince will not be able to understand these messy affairs at the age of five.

Ning Siyue was called, and stood up nervously, shrouded in the majestic eyes of the father, turning his head pitifully, trying to analyze the words of Ning Juan and Lu Qingze: "Er, Erchen, listen. Understood, the King of Shu is a villain and cannot give birth to children!"

Lu Qing almost choked, pushed away the tea cup, for fear of choking again.

Ning Juan calmly scooped up the tea cup that Lu Qingze pushed away: "There's more."

Lu Qing didn't rescue him in time, and watched Ning Juan deliberately turn to the place he had sipped, met his gaze, and took a sip.

He kicked Ninglan under the table, but Ning Siyue didn't find anything, and was still trying to turn his little head: "Al, also..."

The moment Lu Qing kicked over, he regretted his impulse.

Meat buns and dogs have gone back and forth, not to mention Ning Juan is still a mad dog.

The kick was to kick the dragon body of His Majesty the Emperor.

But his feet were also tightly sandwiched between his legs by Ning Lan, and he couldn't take them back.

Ning Juan pinched Lu Qingze's leg, stretched out his hand without changing his face, took off his boots, and scratched lightly on the soles of his feet.

Lu Qing shrank his toes and kicked him again in anger.

His Majesty the Emperor was kicked with a smile all over his eyes, his fingers slowly lifted, his snow-white socks were quietly removed, and he rubbed his slender ankles.

That skin is soft and smooth, and it feels more fascinated than the finest silk.

Ning Juan squeezed his ankle again, and was surprised to find that Lu Qingze's ankle could be wrapped with one hand.

They are so thin that they can't eat well.

Lu Qing got goosebumps from his rubbing, his toes were so tense, he slammed his foot twice, but couldn't get it back, so he cursed inwardly.

Ning Siyue didn't notice the secret rivalry between the two adults, so he racked his brains: "The third prince of Tartar and Tartar is not a good thing. He wants to hang himself at the father's birthday banquet!"

Lu Qing choked again, not knowing whether to laugh or cry at Ning Siyue's childish words, and at the same time making Ning Juan's wanton behavior angry, he pumped his foot again, but accidentally rubbed something.

Ning Juan tightened his hand on his ankle, staring at him slightly changed.

Lu Qing's mood is usually light, and he is calm and calm when he encounters important matters of life and death. However, when he realizes what he has encountered, he is also shocked. His mind is blank for a moment, and he subconsciously struggles again.

As a result, it accidentally hit again.

This time, Ning Juan's eyes staring at him changed completely, and he was vaguely surprised.

Lu Qingze: "..."

Look at what he does, he didn't do it on purpose.

really not!

Ning Siyue raised his eyes nervously without waiting for his father's response for a long time.

Ning Juan paused for a while, his voice a little hoarse: "Continue."

I don't know who is calling to continue.

Ning Si's face became bitter.

continue ah?

He, he didn't understand a lot!

What are Jiaozhi, Shizi, and Mobei?

He couldn't help but secretly glanced at Lu Qingze, wanting to ask his gentle father to give him some hints, but he saw Lu Qingze lowered his head, pursed his lips, and the tips of his ears were red, and he didn't notice his cry for help. .

Ning Siyue could only continue to search and scrape his stomach, and a flash of inspiration flashed: "Also, the royal father... is better than the king of Shu, and better than the king of Shu!"

The child's milky voice made Ning Wan laugh directly.

The corners of his mouth curved: "Well, not bad."

Ning Si's eyes widened in surprise.

Before he was born, his father left first, and his mother died of illness not long after giving birth to him. Ning Siyue was born an orphan and was not taken seriously in the clan. Ning Juan took a fancy to it and brought it into the palace.

He admired his father very much, but his father was always stern and would not praise him.

This is the first time I have seen the royal father compliment him with such a gentle smile!

The happier Ning Si became, her eyes were shining, she turned to Lu Qingze, wanting to share his happiness with Lu Qingze, and then noticed that there was a residual flower under the tip of Lu Qingze's red ear.

In April, plum blossoms withered, and when he was just going out, Lu Qing fell on plum blossoms.

Ning Siyue raised his head to remind: "Father, there is a falling plum near your collar."

Saying that, I tiptoed and wanted to come up: "I'll brush it down for you, Erchen."

Lu Qing was afraid that Ning Siyue would find out what was happening under the table, so when he mentioned it in his heart, Ning Siyue's head was held down.

Ning Juan let go of Lu Qingze's foot, got up and pressed Ning Siyue back with one hand: "Let me see."

Lu Qing was sitting in the armchair, next to Ning Siyue, watching Ning Juan approaching, but could not retreat, he could only stare at Ning Juan with warning eyes.

Don't mess around in front of children.

Ning Juan understood his eyes, smiled slightly, and slipped his hand on top of Ning Siyue's head, covering the little guy's eyes.

Then the other hand flicked away the plum blossom beside Lu Qingze's collar, as well as the collar.

Ning Juan had no chance to get close to Lu Qingze these days, let alone alone.

The bite marks under the collar have faded a lot, almost disappearing.

Lu Qing realized what he was looking at, a sense of crisis came to his mind, and he turned his head to hide.

But it's too late.

Across the table, Ning Juan covered Ning Siyue's eyes, leaned close to his ear, and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Huaixue, you will be punished if you make a mistake."

For example, let a dirty death-row prisoner replace him.

The voice just fell, he turned his head and bit Lu Qingze on the back of the neck.

The familiar pain hit, Lu Qing clenched his hand tightly holding the armrest of the armchair, but frowned and dared not make a sound, the pale veins on the back of his pale hand were slightly exposed, and he was quickly handed over by Ning Juan's other hand. hold.

Ning Siyue vaguely saw Lu Qingze's slightly white fingertips clutching the armrest between Ning Lan's fingers.

Father's body doesn't look very good, does it hurt somewhere, and he refuses to say it?

The more worried Ning Si thought, the more big doubts popped up in the small head.

It's just a piece of residual flower, how did the father take so long?

The author has something to say:

Ning Siyue: Is there something I can't watch QvQ?

Lu Qingze: ...Children can't see it.
