Wei Wuxian woke up late in the morning, he had slept soundly, and his body was way too relax. He did not feel any discomfort and his wound is bandaged. Suddenly he remembered last night then he looked at his body carefully but there is no bruises and no pain.

“He mixed sleeping herbs in my food , but did nothing. Why ? What do you want Lan Wangji ? is there something that’s going on your head” . Wei Wuxian thinking while doing a little stretching.

He got up from the bed and started walking towards his room, when the guards stopped him at the door.

“You can not go out from this chamber Consort Wei, it is the order from Your Majesty”. One guard state respectfully.
And Wuxian just nod his head.

After a while Wuxian’s personal maids came for serving him. Then Wuxian take his time for bath . But suddenly Wangji came back to his Chamber and ordered servants to go outside and he himself goes straight in the bathroom.

“Wha…..What are you doing here ”? Wuxian asked shockingly, just a second ago he was lying comfortably in the bathtub when Lan WangJi suddenly appeared without warning.

“This is my chamber and this is my bathroom” . Wangji thought that Wuxian already goes to his chamber so he is little shock but he composed himself quickly and replied calmly

“So what ? You have brought me in this chamber of your own free will, I did not come myself. So go outside first ”. Wuxian state Sassily.

“Why ? Why i have to go” ? Lan Wangji saw Wuxian white milky skin and asked teasingly while opens his robes.

“Wha….. What ar….are you looking at? stop taking off your clothes”. Wuxian stuttering a little while cover his chest with hands.

”What are you trying to hide i saw everything last night ” Lan Wangji state licking his lips.

“Huh , So that is why you drugged me last night” Wuxian said in disgust.

“What’s there about to be disgusted huh you are already my Consort” . Lan Wangji asked in annoying tone he didn’t like when Wuxian felt disgusted about him.

“My unfortunate , Just get out” Wuxian whisper shouted but Lan Wangji didn’t
Listen and continue to strip himself.

“If you have any problem then ……go outside” Lan Wangji state while finally removed his robes.

“How can I go out in this condition, I am not even wearing single layer ”. wuxian said averting his eyes.

Wangji started coming towards him , “wait what are you doing, I told you not ……

“What did you say”, Lan Wangji came close to Wuxian’s ear and said in a low voice.

As if electricity ran through Wuxian’s body, his face turned red. Wangji touched Wuxian’s lips gently with his thumb.

 

“Wei Wuxian ! What i gave you last night it’s just sleeping herbs, not any type of toxic drug . Understand , because i don’t have to play tricks for that ” Lan Wangji state sensually.

“Then …… Wh ….Why did you do it”; Wuxian breath got hitched it’s the first time he felt sensually aroused. The tickle feeling grows in him.

“Because…….. I want to , Now tell me where is your flute” Lan Wangji’s eyes turned black and on his face has a dark look.

“Which ….. Flute?” Wuxian asked shockingly

“The flute you had, when you were reminiscing your ex lover. Where is that ?” Wangji asked darkly.

Wuxian pushed him hard and replied ; “I did not had any flute”.

“Do not dare to lie Wei Wuxian , last time I saw it myself ”. Wangji whisper darkly.

“I didn’t have , Even if you had seen such a flute, then why did you not take it at that time, it is your illusion, Your Majesty”. Wuxian replied Confidentially.

“ Your Majesty ! You already have thousands of Concubines , It would be good if you go and spend some time with them, often tiredness creates confusion in the mind.” And yes…… He takes a pause

“It would be very kind of you if you would go out for a while”. Wuxian ask with a innocent smile.

“Why i have to need spending my time on another Concubines when I have you , you are also one of them just they are above from you because they know how to pleasing there emperor but you don’t ……. Don’t think yourself so highly Consort Wei”.

 

And one more thing “Consort Wei ! Don’t let my illution become reality because if i found out anything unusual it’s going to create a big trouble for your loved once. ”. Lan Wangji said darkly.

“It’s too late for find out (Wuxian thought to himself) ……I’m afraid to tell you this but there’s nothing about me that should cause you trouble………By the way, Your Highness, if you’re not going, just hang around. I need to wear my robes.” Wuxian said

“it’s ashamed for me to be with a man like you anyway.” he mumbled to himself but Lan Wangji hear it.

“Wei WuXian Afterall I’m your alpha , You don’t have to be ashamed of that” . Wangji stork his cheeks lovingly and suddenly starting to kissing him . But this kiss is not so much rough nor so gentle.

Wei Wuxian trying to push him hard but he failed , When Lan Wangji thought Wuxian is going to out of breath….He stopped.

“Believe me…… I’ll give you better reasons to be ashamed off”. Lan Wangji said while leaving hickeys.

“Wear your clothes and let’s go for lunch , Every one waiting for us in dinning hall ” after saying this, Wangji left the bathroom.

“Shameless pervert” Wuxian’s face turn red out of anger. After that ,Wuxian dressed and got ready.

 

Lan WangJi and Wei WuXian went together to the dining hall for lunch, Whenever people in the harem see them together, some of them consider them perfect companion. And some people considered him as a thorn in their path.

 

In Haram ( little chit chat session)

Concubine 1 : – “Don’t you think that Nowadays Your Majesty spend most of time with Consort Wei.” a concubine said out of curiosity

 

Concubine 2 : “Yes ,I have heard that ever since The Emperor’s married with Consort Wei, the relationship between the Your Majesty and the first Consort has also been affected.” another concubine add.

Concubine 3 ; “If this continues, Then Consort Wei will become a Challenger for The first Consort . since Your Majesty got married, he hasn’t seen anyone else apart from Consort Wei and sometime the first Consort.”

 

Concubine 1 ; “But I think that Consort Wei is Far better than the first Consort.
He stands up for justice regardless of the consequences.Also Consort Wei is the only one whom the Emperor has allowed to stay in his room”.

 

Concubine 3 ; “In all this I feel bad for Consort jin , her makeup doesn’t affect the Emperor, but first Consort always forced her to seduce the Emperor, poor Consort.”

“And on another hand Consort Wei didn’t even put his wedding hair pins , refused to wear Lan clan robes and disrespect the Emperor everytime they meet but still got his favour . there’s no matter how many tantrums he shows or how many arguments they had , still Your Majesty is seen him”.

Concubine 2 Shut up. Do you have a death wish? Don’t forget that Consort Wei is just a war prize but First consort manages the harem, with the power in her hands.

Concubine 3 ; No No No No No you are wrong , Consort Wei is not just a War prize but also one of the main Consort from three main Consort , and first Consort jealousy is valid for it i also feel jealous from him. since he came Your Majesty never lay his eyes on us.

Concubine 2 :- like they used to see a lot earlier? It’s just a haram politics it’s depends on first Consort if You got her favour then there is a chance for you to spend night with Your Majesty.

Concubine 3 :- hmmm …. I agree with you there’s nothing we can do about this ……. Apart Watching the cat fight between two main Consorts ….. Hahahaha

In the Evening ……….

“Greeting Your Majesty ” General Nie bow respectfully to Lan Wangji.

“This Emperor also greets you General Nie, come take your seat”. Lan Wangji said softly .

“Your Majesty i want to talk to you about celestial mountain matter …… I am telling you this in private because I cannot tell you this in front of everyone. ” General Nie asked seriously.

“Go ahead ” Lan Wangji replied .

“When we investigated the people going towards the celestial mountain, we also found that some of them are from the Luo Clan. We also investigated him and found this dagger with him”. He showed the dagger they found and He also showed the invitation.

“Your Majesty, This dagger is owned by the Luo Clan’s spies who have received rigorous training”. “We have arrested them also and put them in dungeons”. General Nie state.

“ Did you inquire with him, did you find out what he was doing there”. Lan Wangji asked in curiosity .

“ Yes Your Majesty, I inquired him but he is not ready to open his mouth, and the surprising thing is that the invitation letter we have received from those people has also confirmed this. According to them, the information given comes from the people of the Luo Clan”. General Nie Explain.

“WHAT?” Wangji felt shocked after hearing this. “Is Luo Clan trying to break the rules made by Lan clan”.

“There activities are unusual these days, when i searched for more there threads also linked with Dafan mountain”.

“Consort Wei’s parents were killed in the accidents that happened in forests of Dafan mountain”.

“Whole Cultivation world knows this that Wei couple were powerful Cultivators specially Consort Wei’s mother who is the diciple of Baoshan Sanren, but still they failed to save themselves. That’s why it is forbidden for everyone to go to those forests”.

“But for the last three to four months the activities have increased there, You know i did not care about Wen’s people but there is something that I’m still not sure…….

“ We cannot take this matter lightly, so you are requested to send such people who are really capable to investigate it”. General Nie Explain briefly.

“General Nie Cancel tomorrow’s public assembly, and send a message to sect leader Luo that I want to meet him. Interrogate the captured prisoners strictly. You can do whatever you want with them but keep in mind that none of them should die”. LAN WANGJI ordered strictly.

“Yes Your Majesty as you say” General Nie replied

“Your Majesty, Nie Furen wants to meet you”. A guard said respectfully.

“ Bring him in respectfully” Lan Wangji state.

“Greeting Your Majesty ”; Lan Xichen said with soft smile.

“Ge ge you don’t have to call me Majesty when we are not in assembly You are my elder brother”. Lan Wangji said lovingly.

Lan xichen chuckled then he served tea for Lan Wangji and Nie Mingjue.

“Wangji I want to go back to Qinghe tomorrow.” Lan Xichen said looking at his husband.

“But why? do you have any problem here or someone said something to you.” Lan Wangji gaze met to Nie Mingjue and they both are coufuse like their gaze has a question “Did something happens”

“No, neither I have any problem here nor has anyone told me anything, as you know Nie Huaisang’s wedding is in less than two months and a lot of preparations have to be done”. Lan Xichen comforting.

“That’s why I thought that I and Huaisang should go back, because I think your brother-in-law doesn’t even remember about his younger brother’s marriage, so he is completely careless”. Lan Xichen rolled his eyes to Nie Mingjue.

“You don’t need to leave from now and you don’t need to worry, this is our family’s wedding and there will be no shortage, trust me”. Nie Mingjue said and Lan Wangji nod with him.

They talked for sometime like a happy and healthy family. After their mother death Lan Xichen became mother figure for Wangji. And apart from politics he has good realtion with Nie Mingjue.

 

On the other hand in Luo Clan palace

A voice of hard slapped echoes is the Hall. The massage reached to Sect leader Luo.

“How can they get Caught? They are the best spies from our clan? What if they told anything to Lan’s”. Sect leader Luo raged in anger.

“Now what is there to think about, when the soldiers or spies of the Luo clan do not have common sense or do not have the ability to endure the pain. When it’s come to tourture we are well known how Lan Wangji becomes merciless ” A man said behind him Mockingly.

“Before he opens his mouth, make sure that you shut his mouth forever”. The man said .

“Write secret message to Luo Qingyang, and make sure she completed her task”.
Sect leader Luo ordered to his Loyal soldier.

“We can’t believe her completely , Lan Wangji asked for your presence in next public assembly so prepare your statement ……. And listen carefully don’t let them found out anything”. Other man state strictly.

Then he saw a little golden bird coming towards him . He came to his Window and Wuxian saw a little scroll.

Wuxian open the scroll his lips has a little smrik and he rollled the flute in his fingers.
“ little birdy Go and tell them that we are going to meet soon ” and “tell them to take care of themselves”. Wuxian whisper.
