…………… IN CLOUD RECESSES……….

 

After dismissed the assembly everybody left from assembly hall and Luo ji Chang is taken to dungeons. But there is someone who still did not leave and that person is Wei Wuxian. 

Who still sat their like stone. 

 

 

It’s his second time in assembly and someone again dragged his late parents in the conversation. He himself didn’t want to come here .Some unanswered questions are ringing on his mind . Why did Luo ji Chang said him to found out about his parents.

 

 

Is it all of this are trap? Or there is really something he didn’t know. Is his parents death is not natural. Did someone killed them . There are too many Questions ringing in his mind and there is none answer.

 

 

 

 

“Consort Wei…… Consort Wei…….. Wei gege” ……. he is in deep thought when he felt that someone calling him, his thoughts get broken. 

 

“Huh …. What happened Young master Nie” he asked . He saw Xichen beside him. 

 

 

 

“What are you thinking so deeply Wei gege …. Everyone is already left…… let’s go ” Nie Huaisang says. 

 

 

“I’m coming in some time … You can take your leave first young master Nie….. I want to meet EMPEROR First .” Wuxian replied. 

 

 

Huaisang notice a mixed emotions in his face like anger , curiosity, confusion etc.

 

“Are you sure you are okay ”….. Nie Huaisang asked for assurance.

 

“Yes I am fine …… I take my leave childe Nie” Wuxian replied and left from there .

 

 

He directly goes towards dungeon where’s guards take unconscious Luo ji Chang.

 

.

 

 

“General Nie I want to meet second master Luo” he speak respectfully. 

 

 

 

“You Can’t go inside without Majesty order your highness” general Nie replied stoping Wuxian outside the dungeon.

 

 

“I just want to ask him some Questions general Nie. If you don’t believe me then you can just come with me , but please let me see him , it’s important.” Wuxian requested to him. 

 

 

“Forgive me your highness but without EMPEROR’S order I can’t let you go inside”. General Nie replied. 

 

 

Wuxian immediately left for Wangji’s chamber. 

He didn’t even wait for Wangji’s approval to come in the room . before guard stopped him He barged in the Emperor room.  

 

 

Where he saw both Emperor and first consort face each other . And consort Luo help him remove his outer robe. He immediately turn his back front of them.

 

 

“I apologise for disturb your privete moments your majesty but I want to talk to you ” Wuxian hurriedly said. 

 

 

“You should have to ask before come in consort Wei …… Did not you have any common ethics ” Qingyang mock Wei Wuxian. 

 

 

“I apologized Consort Luo …… But I have important work to discuss with your majesty.” Wei Wuxian replied while rolling his eyes.

 

 

“You can face us Consort Wei…. And tell me what do you want discuss”. Wangji asked.

 

 

 

“I want to meet second master Luo ” , Wuxian face him and reply plainly. 

 

 

Why? …… Wangji asked in confusing.

 

 

“I want to know what he know about my parents death” he replies looking at Qingyang. 

 

 

 

“What i listen to people they called that your parents died in night hunt …… And it’s not a mystery” Qingyang speak up before wangji said anything. 

 

 

“I Apologise to you behalf of my uncle Consort Wei … He just gone made for power and extreme greed that he forgets about his morals ” He just said nonsense for protecting himself. Qingyang said while looking pitiful. 

 

 

” I Accept your apologise Consort Luo ….. But i still want to meet him “. He said sternly. 

 

 

“I will meet you later mian mian you can leave us alone …… I want to talk Consort Wei.” Wangji who is listening all this order Qingyang.

 

Qingyang bow down and left the chamber. 

 

“There is no need to meet him Consort Wei” Wangji sternly said to Wuxian.

 

 

“There is Your Majesty ” , “He speak ill about my late parents , and you are telling me that there is no need meet him” Wuxian asked angrily.

 

 

“He just wanted to justify himself for his doing , you don’t have to mind him ” Wangji replied plainly.

 

“I Wanted to know what he knows about my parents .” ,“why did he said i should have to find out about them” Wuxian replied 

 

 

“Your parents are died in the night hunt and everyone knows this , he just blabbering the things that does not exist”. Wangji state .

 

 

“I just want to meet him once ….. Why is it too much for you your Majesty.” Wuxian said again but it’s like he raising his voice at him.

 

 

“i don’t want you to come in the contact with any culprit. Specially someone who wants to give you path of revenge with his lies.” Wangji replied seriously.

 

 

“Are not you the one of those, who himself take revenge for his parents and killed Wen Rouhan brutally. Even after killing him you never serve wen commoners to justice, just because they belong to Wen clan.”

 

 

 

 

“Huh but who am I expecting justice from? How can I forget that you are the same Emperor who let their soldiers to killing the commoners and harrassing the omaga’s , Let them rob poor . Even after everything you put thousand taxes. And it’s not only for wen’s but everyone out there . Wei Wuxian spoke brutally.

 

 

“Emperor Lan Wangji ……. One way or another way I’ll found out about my parents , and if I found out anything suspicious about your clan or other clan or any involvement of anyone in my parents death like second master Luo said .” Then no one not even you can save them. He state angrily and left Wangji stunned. He left from here.

 

 

 

 

“What do you think about yourself Consort Wei . I didn’t even know how can you behave so brainless. Someone provoke you with some harsh words and you let them do.”

 

“I thought you are arrogant but still have some brain cells to know about the difference between lies and truth”. Wangji mumbled himself but between this there is still one Question left.

 

 

Why Wei Wuxian said that Lan Soldiers killed commoners and rob them . Even harrassing omaga’s. The much he knows that soldiers have good salary so they didn’t have to rob other and about harrassment he never hear about it.

 

 

On the other side…….

 

 

Sect Leader Luo felt restless. He didn’t know that things would go too far. His brother is in the dungeon now . He will never able to see him. He didn’t have any idea that his daughter use his brother for this.

 

 

At the same time Qingyang came with Xiao Jia to his chamber . And they bowed him out of respect. But sect leader Luo blood boils when he saw his daughter. In his mind it’s all Qingyang fault . 

 

 

“You Wicked Lady ! How do you dare to go this far.” Sect leader Luo asked aggressively to her .

 

 

“what did I do ? ” Qingyang asked in confusion. 

 

 

 

“You still has courage to ask that what did you do? . When you are the reason my brother is in the dungeon, And gonna meet painful death . You kidnapped his daughter and force him to take my blame.” Sect Leader Luo spat angrily.

 

 

 

Why are you blame me father …….. “Is not you, who want me to help you , So you Don’t have to face brutal consequences?.” Qingyang replied. Some tears slipped from Sect Leader Luo’s eyes and he felt guilty. 

 

 

“You gone too far Luo Qingyang I’ll never forgive you for this ” Sect Leader Luo state while grithing his teeth. 

 

 

 

“Lan Qingyang …… Forgive for your your inconvenience father but All this has happened because of you, because of your stupidity uncle is in this condition.” Qingyang replied arrongantly While reminding him that she is Lan now. 

 

“Slap …….. A sound of slap echoes in the room “ sect leader gave a hard slap to Qingyang .

 

 

Qingyang held his red stinging cheek . it’s the first time his father hit her . In his whole life no matter what she did , how many mistakes she made he never hit her but today he hit her. That broke her heart and made her blood boils. 

 

 

 

“Stupidity? …….. Oh yes it’s my stupidity, because I trust you . I thought you can handle this Matter , but no you sit there calmly for last moment and did nothing ”. He shouted.

 

 

 

“Stop shouting like a mad man, “I made them killed in the dungeon . How did I know that idiot have his dagger . It’s his fault that he did not destroy his belongings. ”

 

 

 

“And your also if you didn’t send people towards celestial mountain or those fake invitation to commoner’s then we can able to defend ourselves or minimise the punishment.” she replied in equally loud tone.

 

 

 

“I never sent those invitation letters to anyone. I had only sent a few people towards Celestial Mountain.” He said 

 

 

“ then Who told you to send those people ……huh ” Qingyang asked madly. 

 

 

“No one” ……. I just want to become powerful like others . Sect Leader Luo state. 

 

 

“ohh………. So Do you really think that celestial mountain has a immortal power . Who’ll make you powerful .” Qingyang Asked. 

 

“ Immortality doesn’t have anything with power father , my husband is the Emperor of China and he is not immortal , still held power to destroy anyone in second and you still connected power with immortality. ” Qingyang spat venom .

 

 

 

“Correct…… It’s your husband who held power with his extraordinary strength “NOT YOU ” , YOU ARE JUST AN USELESS ALPHA WHO NEVER GONNA GIVE A HEIR TO LAN EMPIRE AND BECOME THE EMPRESS. ” so don’t be arrogant infront of me.”Sect Leader Luo state without thinking twice. 

 

 

 

“But I’m still Wangji’s first and his Most Favoured Consort” . what about you father?

Qingyang asked evily.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“i did everything to save you father. I removed the thorn in your path otherwise you would have known that uncle is better than you”. Qingyang replied proudly in anger like if she doesn’t help her father would died . 

 

 

 

“So what? still I’m the one who is sect leader of Luo clan. But what about you ? you are not going to favoured forever, one day he will find his mate and made him/ her empress. Then what power would you be held? ” Sect Leader asked evily. 

 

 

 

“Don’t let make this power blind you because it does not belongs to you ,”. Sect Leader Luo state the fact. 

 

 

Reality hit her hard . Deep down she knows that all the time . That’s why she trying so hard to make herself powerful . Wants royal family members, new consorts, Concubine and Emperor in her favor . So she remain always powerful.

 

 

“That time will never come ,i will make sure of it” …….Qiangyang fisted her hands angrily . 

 

 

“What uncle know about Wei Wuxian or his parents. Why did he bring them in this”. Qingyang asked.

 

 

Sect Leader Luo think sometime before he said “ I don’t know anything about this”.

 

 

Qingyang didn’t felt satisfied with answer “father I did not know what you are hiding. But I want to give you advice , don’t let anyone use you as a puppet”. She state befor leaving. 

 

 

 

somewhere outside Gusu ………..

 

 

“ Everything failed. Sect Leader Luo failed miserably, and his younger brother is in dungeons. We are trying to find Baoshan Sanren place for years . But still there is not a single thing we get. Now what should I do . ” A man who sat on the throne state angrily.

 

 

“Our people are safe and no one knows that we are involved in sect leader Luo ” , “Sect Leader jin i suggest that we have to stop our investigation . I don’t think there is something. ” the second man replied trembling.

 

“hmm I think we have to stop until Emperor eyes have on this matter. After everything is settle we will proceed. Sect Leader jin state.

 

 

“What about sect Leader Luo , what if he ask why didn’t we proceed the process ” the second one asked. 

 

 

“hahaha He not gonna ask , his beloved brother is in dungeons . He already made mistake for power now I didn’t think he has enough courage to go towards celestial mountain.” Sect Leader jin replied.

 

 

 

Sect Leader jin left the throne and goes towards his library. 

 

 

 

“Everything happened as we  planned. Now Emperor and every minister and authority Focused on Celestial mountain . And in the meantime they will forget about Dafan mountain”. Sect Leader jin said while kneeling down.
