In Battlefield
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

There is a war going on in the battlefield. This war is going on between the Wen Kingdom's troops and the Yunmeng Kingdom's troops.

Wen Xu is leading the war. He wants to acquire the Yunmeng Kingdom. He has made a strong troop and entered into the war with full planning of defeating war General Yiling Patriarch and his co-warrior Xu Yang. But Xue Yang isn't there.

**********

Name : Wen Xu
Age : 21
Prince of Qishan
Son of Wen Ruohan
Brother : Wen Chao

**********

Yiling Patriarch is riding on a horse and he is killing his opponent fiercely. His face is covered with the mask. Yiling Patriarch's defense skills and killing skills are great. He doesn't show mercy on his opponents. When he feels that the opponent is top week and ready to admit defeat then he let him go otherwise he doesn't leave the trace of any enemy.

There's good quality of Yiling Patriarch that he supports his troops in battlefield. He never let them to lose hope and end the war with tide over.

Wen Xu and Yiling Patriarch come in front of each other. They both are in horses and holding swords in their hands. Those swords look thirty for the opponent's blood. Wen Xu and Yiling Patriarch commands their horses and the moves towards each other.

Yiling Patriarch jumps out of the horse and he unbalanced Wen Xu's horse due to which Wen Xu falls on ground. Yiling Patriarch smirks behind his mask. Now they both are ground.

Wen soldiers are trying to attack on Yiling Patriarch but Jiang soldiers are protecting Yiling Patriarch. Wen Xu and Yiling Patriarch are in a sphere. They bith runs towards each other and starts attacking.

Yiling Patriarch dodged all Wen Xu's moves and he attacks on his arm due to which Wen Xu's one arm falls on floor. He lost his arm.

Wen Xu cries while holding his bleeding shoulder. He lost one arm. Yiling Patriarch stands in front of Wen Xu and attacks on Wen Xu's neck with his suibian. Wen Xu's head got separated from his body and it falls away.

The war stops there. When soldiers knelt down. Wen Xu is killed. His arm and head are cut off from his body. Everyone starts praising Yiling Patriarch.

"Keep quiet!", Yiling Patriarch says.

Everyone gets quiet.

"Take his dead body to your king and don't forget to show his head and arm. If Wen Ruohan will keep his disgusting eyes on Yunmeng then then I will cut him like his son Wen Xu. Tell your so called king that if he wants to live a long life than stop attacking on Yunmeng. We will not kneel down.", Yiling Patriarch says in his dominant voice.

All the enemy troops start shivering. Yiling Patriarch and his troops leave the battlefield.

__________________

In Yunmeng
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Yiling Patriarch and troop behind him are returning to the place Lotus Pier. Everyone are praising Yiling Patriarch and all the soldiers who have successfully defeated the Wen soldiers.

Yiling Patriarch has a proud smile on his face. He is still wearing mask. He doesn't show his face whenever he lives in the form of Yiling Patriarch.

The citizens feel greatful to have war general like Yiling Patriarch. Yiling Patriarch always supported the family of troops. If any soldier died and got injured in the battlefield then Yiling Patriarch himself gives them and their family members economic support and other job opportunities so the family don't suffer longer.

________________

In Lotus Pier
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Today there's hustle and bustle in the palace because someone special is coming in Yunmeng for the first time.

Jiang Fengmian, Madam Yu and Jiang Cheng are so stressed sitting in the hall. Their faces are pale and their hands are wet. Even Jiang Fengmian himself is a bit afraid.

"Where's prince Jin Zixuan?", Madam Yu asks.

"Mother! He is near lotus pond with Jie Jie.", Jiang Cheng says.

"He is going to arrive here anytime. Why didn't he inform us a day before?", Jiang Cheng asks.

Jiang Fengmian takes a deep breath. He looks at Jiang Cheng.

"Tell Yanli to take Jin Zixuan to the market. Jin Zixuan shouldn't be here otherwise it can create trouble for us.", Jiang Fengmian says.

"Okay father.", Jiang Cheng replies.

Jiang Cheng comes out of the hall and he walks towards the lotus pond.

Jiang Yanli and Jin Zixuan are sitting together near lotus pond. They both love each other. They have attended many conference and assembly in which the king, prince and princes organize meetings. They have met each other earlier in such kind of meetings that's why they know each other. Feelings develop in their heart for each other and now they both are in love with each other from head to toe.

Jin Zixuan sometimes arrives Yunmeng to meet specially Jiang Yanli without letting anyone know. Only Jin family knows that Jin Zixuan loves Jiang Yanli. Other then them in Lanling no one knows about Jin Zixuan and Jiang Yanli's love affair. He always comes in simple dress to meet Jiang Yanli.

Jin family doesn't want to let anyone to know too soon because Jin Zixuan is still a prince. If he will tell directly to everyone that he loves Jiang Yanli than ministers in his palace can be danger for Jiang Yanli because they themselves want their daughter to marry Jin Zixuan. Jin Zixuan is so clever that's why he has kept the relationship secret.

The other reason Jin Zixuan has kept the relationship secret because his enemy kingdom can hurt and attack on Yunmeng after knowing that Jiang Yanli is soon to be wife of Jin Zixuan.

Jiang family understands this thing very well that's why they have also kept their daughter's relationship secret. They don't want to invite trouble before Jiang Yanli and Jin Zixuan's wedding. Jiang family wants peace with everyone because they know that war only creates destruction and loss of innocent lives.

Right now Jiang Yanli and Jin Zixuan are near lotus pond. Jin Zixuan's hand is on Jiang Yanli's hand. Jin Zixuan plucks a lotus flower and gives it to Jiang Yanli. Jiang Yanli takes the flower. There's blush and shyness on her face.

***********

Name : Jin Zixuan
Age 25
Prince of Lanling
Son of Jin Guangshan and Madam Jin.
Jin Ling is Jin Zixuan's younger brother. Jin Zixuan has step brother - sister too.
Jin Zixuan is soon to be King of Lanling.
He loves Jiang Yanli.

***********

They both are silently sitting on the edge of lotus pond. There's chirruping sounds of birds. The cozy window is touching their body. There's peace on this silence but then Jiang Cheng appears there.

"Jie Jie!", Jiang Cheng says. He is breathing heavily.

Jin Zixuan feels irritation because he rarely gets chance to meet Jiang Yanli but here comes someone to spoil their romantic moment. Jiang Yanli and Jin Zixuan look at each other and then they turn their eyes to Jiang Cheng. Jiang Cheng

"A-Cheng! Are you alright? What happened? Why are you tense?", Jiang Yanli asks worriedly.

"Jie Jie! I am sorry because I have interrupted both of you but it was necessary. Actually emperor of Gusu is arriving here. He will come here in some time. And it will not be good for Jin Zixuan to stay here.", Jiang Cheng says.

"Hanguang-Jun is arriving Yunmeng! Why?", Jin Zixuan asks and he grits his teeth.

"Today at morning we got his letter. We also don't know why he is coming here. If he will see you here then it can create a mess. Lanling Kingdom is enemy of Gusu Kingdom. Hanguang-Jun doesn't know anything that you are soon to be husband of my jie jie!", Jiang Cheng says.

"So what! Let him come here. I will see him. I am not afraid of him.", Jin Zixuan says. He has ego.

Jiang Yanli tightly holds Jin Zixuan's hand as she wants to calm him. Jin Zixuan looks at Jiang Yanli.

"Let's go out of the palace. I will show you the market. We haven't gone market together since a long time.", Jiang Yanli says.

"Princess! Are you afraid of Hanguang-Jun that he will hurt me?", Jin Zixuan asks.

Jiang Yanli looks into Jin Zixuan's eyes. Jin Zixuan melts in her eyes and he holds her hand carefully.

"Please!", Jiang Yanli says.

"Okay!", Jin Zixuan replies.

Jin Zixuan always gets weak in front of Jiang Yanli. Jiang Yanli also doesn't want Hanguang-Jun to see Jin Zixuan that's why she wants to take Jin Zixuan to the market with herself.

Jiang siblings get relief when Jin Zixuan agrees to go to the market. Jin Zixuan has arrived Yunmeng without proper security that's why he can get in danger. Everyone knows how heartless emperor Hanguang-Jun is!

Jiang Yanli and Jin Zixuan take permission from Jiang Fengmian and they leave for market. There's security around Jiang Yanli because she is princess.

All the servants have done preparation of Hanguang-Jun's arrival. They have decorated the entrance and decorated the hall and garden.

Yiling Patriarch along with his troop comes outside the palace. The troop goes to their quarters. Yiling Patriarch comes inside the palace with his horse.

All the people gets happy to see Yiling Patriarch. Xue Yang and Jiang Fengmian come to him and they smile.

"Wei Wuxian! I am proud of you my son!", Jiang Fengmian says and his chest gets more border due to proud.

Wei Wuxian comes down from the horse. He greets Jiang Fengmian. Jiang Fengmian pats Wei Wuxian's head.

"I heard that you cut off Wen Xu's head and arm from his body! It was great punishment for Wens.", Xue Yang says.

"Hmm! If they will again keep their disgusting eyes on Yunmeng then I will do the same thing with them which I have done to Wen Xu.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Wei Wuxian! Go and get ready! Today Hanguang-Jun is arriving here.", Jiang Fengmian says.

"Hanguang-Jun!", Wei Wuxian says shockingly.

"Yes. As you can see that there's less people are here for celebration of victory because everyone is busy in preparation of the arrival of Hanguang-Jun! We will celebrate the victory tomorrow. I promise but today we have to present well in front of Hanguang-Jun. We don't have too much time.", Jiang Fengmian says.

Wei Wuxian is smiling. He nods his head. Wei Wuxian takes out his mask. He takes deep breath.

"Why do you always wear mask?", Xue Yang asks

"As you know I like to visit everywhere. If Wens find me without any weapon or protection then they won't think before to attack on me. That's why I am Yiling Patriarch in battlefield and Wei Wuxian in family.", Wei Wuxian says with a smile.

Wei Wuxian thinks something and he gets a naughty idea. He curiously looks at Jiang Fengmian.

"Uncle! Please don't tell Jiang Cheng that we got victory in the war. I want to tell him myself.", Wei Wuxian says.

"As you wish my son.", Jiang Fengmian replies.

Wei Wuxian goes to the hall. He is amazed that why Hanguang-Jun is arriving Yunmeng. It's the first time when he is arriving Yunmeng but he didn't give any information two three days ago about his arrival otherwise Jiang family could do more preparation.

Wei Wuxian goes into his room. His room is so big and luxurious. He goes in his bathroom. He removes all his clothes and walks towards the bathtub.

Wei Wuxian has a strong body. There's some cuts on his body and some old scars too. Right now the body is sweaty and smell of sweat is coming.

Wei Wuxian sits inside the bathtub and takes bath. He cleans his body thoroughly and comes out of the bathroom in a silk robe.

Wei Wuxian opens the wardrobe and looks at a dress. He smirks.

"Shijie! I am sorry but I am going to wear your dress. I want to tease Jiang Cheng a bit.", Wei Wuxian says.

Wei Wuxian's takes out Jiang Yanli's robes. He has an ability to transform his body into other gender.

The capability of body transformation in other's body was discovered by Baoshan Sanren. It spiritually goes to Cangse Sanren and then it goes to Wei Wuxian. Today Wei Wuxian has the ability to change body shape and gander. All credit goes to Baoshan Sanren.

Wei Wuxian has only used his specialty three times. When he was a kid then he transformed his body to Jiang Cheng's body to tease him.

Third time Wei Wuxian transformed his body to Jiang Yanli's body again to tease Jiang Cheng. But at that time he didn't change the gender. He was male inside but he only makes himself small to look like Jiang Yanli and changes his facial features. Jiang Cheng got confused and he thought the person with whom he is talking is Jiang Yanli.

Only Jiang Fengmian, Madam Yu and Jiang Cheng knows about Wei Wuxian's specialty.

Wei Wuxian has never used his expertise for negative purposes. He has never harmed anyone. He even can't hide any scar and wounds on his body due to his specialty of transformation.

Right now Wei Wuxian makes his body to the size of Jiang Yanli's body size. He doesn't change his gender. He is male from his lower and upper part.

After that Wei Wuxian immediately wear Jiang Yanli's clothes and then ties his hair simply. Wei Wuxian looks at himself in the mirror. He transforms the face into Jiang Yanli's face.

Wei Wuxian's eyes fall on his chest which is flat. He grabs two oranges from the basket and puts it inside his clothes. Now his chest isn't flat anymore. It looks like breast.

It's fourth time when Wei Wuxian has transformed his body to others body but he doesn't change his gender. Instead he has used oranges to create breast. He can change gender too but he doesn't find it respectable.

Wei Wuxian grins and he comes out of the room. He starts searching Jiang Cheng. Finally he found that Jiang Cheng was scolding some servants.

Wei Wuxian suddenly appears in front of Jiang Cheng. Jiang Cheng gets surprised to see Jiang Yanli. Wei Wuxian starts crying.

"Jie jie! You here!", Jiang Cheng asks. He knows that Jiang Yanli isn't in the palace.

"A-Cheng... Our Wuxian... My A-Xian... H..he", Wei Wuxian says ans he starts sobbing.

"What happened to him? Why are you crying Jie jie?", Jiang Cheng asks.

"He died in the war....", Wei Wuxian says ans he pretends that he is fainting.

Jiang Cheng held Wei Wuxian's hand and made him sit on the mattress. Jiang Cheng wipes Wei Wuxian's tears. Still he doesn't know the person in front of him is Wei Wuxian not Jiang Yanli. But Jiang Cheng gets a shock to hear about Wei Wuxian's death. His hands are trembling. He doesn't want to believe in it because everyone knows including him that how brave Wei Wuxian is. Wei Wuxian is a good fighter.

"Jie jie! How did you know? You were in market!”, Jiang Cheng asks.

Wei Wuxian gets stiff and he looks at Jiang Cheng with die like big eyes. Jiang Cheng also looks at Wei Wuxian. Jiang Cheng narrows his eyes. Wei Wuxian again starts pretending to cry.

"Ooh..!ye.s. I was in the market with my friends... I heard that few people were talking about A-Xian's death that's why I hurriedly arrives here!", Wei Wuxian says.

Jiang Cheng crossed both his arms. Now he is staring at Wei Wuxian.

"Jie jie! How many friends were with you?", Jiang Cheng asks.

Wei Wuxian gets stiff because of the question. He shows his three fingers which are trembling. Jiang Cheng grabs Wei Wuxian's three fingers inside his fist.

"Wei Wuxian!", Jiang Cheng yells.

"Jiang Cheng... Let me explain... But how did you know I am Wei Wuxian?", Wei Wuxian asks and he gets afraid.

"Jie Jie is in market with Jin Zixuan!", Jiang Cheng says.

Wei Wuxian keeps quiet. His lips tightly closed. He smiles forcefully and gets up from the floor. Wei Wuxian starts running. Jiang Cheng runs behind Wei Wuxian.

Jiang Cheng isn't offended by Wei Wuxian's behavior. Today Hanguang-Jun is arriving and everyone is tense. In this serious moment Wei Wuxian tried to prank on him. Jiang Cheng is irritated.

From the main gate of palace Hanguang-Jun arrives inside the Lotus Pier. Along with him some ministers, Lan Sizhui and army arrive in Lotus Pier.

Lan Wangji and Lan Sizhui are riding on the horses. They are in front. All the other guests are behind them.

Jiang Fengmian and Madam Yu greet the emperor of Gusu. Lan Wangji and Lan Sizhui come down from their horses.

Jiang Fengmian and Madam Yu welcomes emperor Lan Wangji and prince Lan Sizhui in very well.

"You are welcome in Yunmeng! Hanguang-Jun!", Jiang Fengmian says.

"I always wanted to visit Yunmeng but due to lots of work I never got time. In hurry I had to plan to visit Yunmeng. I think because of my quick letter you all suffered problem.", Lan Wangji says.

"No! We are glad to see you here. He didn't face any problem. By the way we have gone through preparation. Come inside Hanguang-Jun!", Madam Yu says.

"Prince Sizhui! You are also welcome in Yunmeng.", Jiang Fengmian says.

"It's really a beautiful place. When I was coming here then in my way I saw many beautiful place. The lotus lakes are so beautiful. Everywhere there are beautiful flowers and the nature of people is kind too. I like it.", Lan Sizhui says.

Madam Yu and Jiang Fengmian smiles. Hanguang-Jun and Lan Sizhui come into the palace. They all come in the big hall.

There's special seat for Lan Wangji and Lan Sizhui. Other seats are for the ministers who have arrived with Lan Wangji. The guards stands away from the two royal families.

Suddenly someone's laughing sound comes. Everyone's attention goes to that direction. Wei Wuxian is still in Jiang Yanli's form. He is running without looking at Jiang Cheng.

Wei Wuxian accidentally comes into the hall. Madam Yu and Jiang Fengmian gets shock to see Jiang Yanli in palace and in this condition.

Wei Wuxian is still laughing but then he hits with a muscular body.

"Ouch!", Wei Wuxian says but his leg trips and he was about to fall.

Suddenly the person whom he was bumped tightly holds him by his waist. Wei Wuxian looks at the person and he gets shock. The person is none other than Lan Wangji.

Lan Wangji is looking into Wei Wuxian's eyes. Wei Wuxian is also looking at Lan Wangji. Wei Wuxian is afraid but there's something in Lan Wangji's eyes.

Jiang Cheng also comes in the hall and he gets stiff. He has close eyes. He wants to hit his own head on the pillar. He is cursing Wei Wuxian internally. Jiang Cheng puts his hand on mouth and starts biting his fingers.

Everyone thinks that the person in Lan Wangji's arms is Jiang Yanli except Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng.

Still Lan Wangji is looking into Wei Wuxian's eyes. His grips tightens on Wei Wuxian's thin waist without knowing the person is Wei Wuxian not Jiang Yanli. Wei Wuxian is trembling because he is in Jiang Yanli's form and second thing that the person who his grabbing him has dominant aura.

==========================================

I am telling you....if anyone has problem with the concept of story then they can skip it.

Wei Wuxian can change his gender but he never takes advantage of it. He has never changed his gender. He just changed his body height, body density and facial features. And for breast he uses oranges.

Thanks for reading. I hope you like this part.

Please forgive me for my grammatical mistakes.

Wei Wuxian is in Lan Wangji's arms and Lan Wangji is continuously looking at him even without blinking his eyes. Wei Wuxian lightly pushes away him and immediately goes to Jiang Cheng.

There's silence in the hall. Madam Yu and Jiang Fengmian looks at Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng. Wei Wuxian lowers his head. He is in Jiang Yanli's form that's why everyone is thinking that he is Jiang Yanli.

"Emperor of Gusu, Hanguang-Jun! These are my kids. Princess Jiang Yanli and prince Jiang Cheng.", Jiang Fengmian says.

Lan Wangji looks at Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian can feel his gaze on himself. He bows his head.

"I am sorry! Sorry everyone.", Wei Wuxian says as he bows.

"Yanli! You can go now.", Madam Yu says. There's anger in her voice which all the family members can understand.

"Hmm!", Wei Wuxian replies.

Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yanli come out of the hall and they go inside a room. Wei Wuxian takes a relief breath.

"Wei Wuxian!", Jiang Cheng shouts in anger.

"C...Cheng! I'm sorry...", Wei Wuxian immediately apologizes.

"Because of you my sister's image gets ruin in front of emperor Hanguang-Jun! Everyone thinks that it was my Jie Jie! You idiot. Why were you running?", Jiang Cheng asks in anger.

"I am sorry. I will personally ask for forgiveness from Lan Wangji. I will tell him that it wasn't Shijie's fault.", Wei Wuxian says.

"You better do it quickly. Now change your getup and come to the hall.", Jiang Cheng warns Wei Wuxian.

Jiang Cheng leaves the room and goes into hall. Wei Wuxian comes inside his room and changes his clothes. He wears his clothes and walks towards the hall.

All are sitting on their seats. Wei Wuxian enters the hall. He is holding his sword Suibian. His eyes fall on Lan Wangji who is sitting. Lan Wangji's focus is on Jiang Fengmian.

"Wei Wuxian!", Xue Yang says.

Wei Wuxian turns his back to everyone. Everyone looks at his back. Lan Wangji looks at Wei Wuxian's back.

"There's emergency! Come quickly.", Xue Yang says.

"Alright.", Wei Wuxian replies and he leaves the hall.

Madam Yu glares at Wei Wuxian and then she turns towards Lan Wangji. Lan Wangji sees that Wei Wuxian has left the hall without even greeting him. He didn't even see his face.

"He is Wei Wuxian. My third son.", Jiang Fengmian says.

"Adopted son.", Madam Yu says.

"You mean Wei Wuxian is your adopted son.", Lan Wangji asks.

"Yes. His parents died when he was a child. His father was my friend. One day I saw Wei Wuxian was saving his life from dogs. He was holding a bun and running in the street. My eyes fall on him. Then I asked about his parents and he said they both died. I adopted Wei Wuxian. He is my son. He is cheerful, sweet and kind person. Everyone loves him.", Jiang Fengmian says with a smile. He is so happy by telling everything about Wei Wuxian.

Madam Yu coughs. Jiang Fengmian stops talking about Wei Wuxian. Then he tells Lan Wangji about Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yanli.

They all talk. A maid serves wine to all the members.

On other side Wei Wuxian gets busy in some work with Xue Yang. It's important and Wei Wuxian can't leave it.

Lan Wangji finished two cups of wine. He looks at Lan Sizhui. Lan Sizhui gets up and he takes out a scroll from his robes. He comes to Jiang Fengmian and gives it to him.

Jiang Fengmian takes the scroll and opens it.

"You are our neighboring kingdom. I want you to form an alliance with us. The political and social relationship between us should remain good. Qinghe Kingdom is already an alliance with Gusu Kingdom. Now I want Yunmeng to also become our alliance. This will be beneficial for you.", Lan Wangji says.

"Alliance!", Jiang Cheng says shockingly.

Jiang family gets worried. The looks at Lan Wangji. It's difficult for them because Jiang Yanli and Jin Zixuan have decided to marry. Lanling kingdom is enemy of Gusu Kingdom. Now Jiang family is in trouble. If they will create alliance with Gusu then Lanling will be known as their enemy and Lan Wangji will never want Jiang Yanli to marry in Jin family.

"W..We will think about it.", Jiang Fengmian says.

"If you aren't ready to become our alliance then you will be in category of our enemy. I will conquer Yunmeng and you will under me. This kingdom will become part of Gusu. The name of this kingdom will be lost in history. Now the choice is yours. War or alliance!", Lan Wangji says in his dark voice.

Jiang Cheng gets angry and he gets up from his seat.

"Hanguang-Jun! It's not right. You can't force us to alliance with yourself. We are neutral. History is the proof. Even our ancestors were neutral. We never created alliance and we never had any enemy. I know Wens sometimes attack on us but we never wanted to make any enemy. We can't treat Lanling Kingdom as our enemy kingdom.", Jiang Cheng says.

Lan Wangji gets up and he puts bichen on Jiang Cheng's neck.

"So you are choosing violence.", Lan Wangji says and he smirks.

Jiang Fengmian and Madam Yu get afraid when they see the sword on Jiang Cheng's neck. Jiang Cheng starts trembling.

"D..don't kill my son.", Madam Yu says worriedly and she gets up from her seat.

Lan Sizhui lowers his head. His fist tightens on his robes. He is afraid of some reason. He gets courage and looks at Lan Wangji.

"Brother! Let's give them some time.", Lan Sizhui says.

"Okay. I am ready to give them sometime to mentally prepare themselves. If they will deny our proposal then we will attack on them.", Lan Wangji says.

Lan Sizhui nods his head.

"Gusu is the most powerful country. We have large army. Remember, you are nothing in front of us. Don't even try to cheat on us. I want answer in a positive way. Think now.", Lan Wangji says.

"Hanguang-Jun! We are happy that you want to create alliance with us. But unknowingly we will have more enemies. If there will be more enemies then there will be more war. We have always lived in peace. But the war can cause economic and social problems in our kingdom.", Jiang Fengmian says.

"You don't need to worry about enemies. I will be your alliance so I will save your kingdom. In return you have to give me large amount of army. The Yiling Patriarch will have to always be ready to fight for us. In return I will provide you security.", Lan Wangji says.

Jiang Fengmian thinks. He looks at Madam Yu. Madam Yu is speechless. She also doesn't want. As a queen she can't ignore her citizens. Alliance is better option than war. But Lanling will itself become their enemy. This is the main thing they are afraid of.

Lan Wangji's sword is still on Jiang Cheng's neck. Jiang Cheng is looking at his parents. Jiang Fengmian sits on his seat and dips the brush on black ink.

"Your son's life is in my hand. Prepare mentally yourself and sign there to become our alliance or your son will be dead.", Lan Wangji says while pressing the sharp edge of blade on Jiang Cheng's neck.

Jiang Fengmian's hand trembles and he signs on the paper. Then he put a stamp on the paper. Now Yunmeng is the alliance of Gusu.

"Emperor!", Madam Yu says and she puts her hand on Jiang Fengmian's shoulder.

Lan Wangji's release Jiang Cheng. Lan Sizhui holds the scroll and gives it to Lan Wangji.

"It's the proof that you are our alliance. Now I don't want any betrayal.", Lan Wangji says.

Everyone stays quiet. Then two people arrive in the hall. Lan Wangji and others look at those two people. Yiling Patriarch and Xue Yang have arrived there. Yiling Patriarch is wearing a mask.

Yiling Patriarch and Xue Yang bow to Lan Wangji. Lan Wangji nods his head. Wei Wuxian gets shocked to see sword on Lan Wangji's hand. He sees a little cut on Jiang Cheng's neck. He goes to him.

"What happened here?", Wei Wuxian asks.

"Hanguang-Jun arrived here to give a proposal of alliance to us. He used force and put his sword on my neck. Father has to sign on the scroll.", Jiang Cheng says.

Wei Wuxian turns towards Lan Wangji and he glares at him. Lan Wangji also glares at Wei Wuxian. He looks into his eyes. These are kinda same eyes which he saw some moments ago.

"Yiling Patriarch!", Lan Wangji says.

"Hanguang-Jun! You can't force anyone to be your ally. You have enemies but we don't have none except Wens. How can you force someone? We don't want any enemies because of you.", Wei Wuxian says.

Lan Wangji looks at Jiang Fengmian. Jiang Fengmian is silent. Lan Wangji glares at Wei Wuxian.

"How dare you to talk in the matters of royal discussion? Who are you? You are just a war general Yiling Patriarch! Be in your limits. Don't you have manners? Two royal families are discussing something important and how can a normal person like you interfere in our matters. You are war general then focus on your work.", Lan Wangji says.

Now the atmosphere is getting dense. Wei Wuxian tightens his clench.

"I care about the citizens. I don't want people to die in the war. We want peace with everyone.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Emperor Jiang Fengmian! How can you let a lower position man to take decisions in your court? Teach him some manners. He is war general that doesn't mean that he can interfere in royal matters.", Lan Wangji says.

Madam Yu gets angry. She thinks that Wei Wuxian is interfering in their matters. She is getting more angry on him because Wei Wuxian is arguing with Lan Wangji.

"We....Yiling Patriarch! Get out of the hall!", Madam Yu says in anger.

Wei Wuxian turns towards Madam Yu.

"Empress!", Wei Wuxian says.

"Right now! Go away. You are creating trouble. Hanguang-Jun is right. Focus on your work rather than interfering in royal matters. Your duty is to safeguard us and the citizens. We are here to take major decisions. We have alliance with Hanguang-Jun so nothing can be changed now.", Madam Yu says.

Wei Wuxian feels hurt. He remembers about Jiang Yanli and Jin Zixuan. Now it's difficult for both of them to marry. If Lan Wangji will know about their relationship then he will tell to cancel the wedding or he will attack on Yunmeng in the punishment of betrayal.

Wei Wuxian looks at everyone and he leaves the hall with Xue Yang. He is so much angry.

_________
*********

Lan Wangji and Lan Sizhui live in guest palace. It's the palace built for royal families who visit Yunmeng.

At evening Jiang Yanli returns to the palace. Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng tells her everything that how Wei Wuxian changed himself in her and bumped into Lan Wangji.

"Shijie. I'm sorry.", Wei Wuxian says.

"A-Xian! Okay...I will forgive you...but please be careful from the next time.", Jiang Yanli says.

"I am sorry shijie. Because of me you will never feel humiliation. You can give me any punishment. I will never ever take your getup. I will never change myself into anyone.", Wei Wuxian says.

"A-Xian! Okay... Don't worry. I will forgive you.", Jiang Yanli says and she smiles.

Wei Wuxian smiles and takes a relief. He puts his head on Jiang Yanli's lap.

"Jie jie! There's a big problem.", Jiang Cheng says ans he sits with Wei Wuxian and Jiang Yanli.

"What is it? Is it serious?", Jiang Yanli asks.

"Hanguang-Jun has forcefully make us his alliance. We are his alliance that means his enemies are our enemies...and Lanling...It's also Hanguang-Jun's enemy.", Jiang Cheng says.

Jiang Yanli gets worried. She puts her hand on her mouth. She gets emotional.

Jin Zixuan is resting in his room. He can't go outside openly because he has known about the forced alliance. If Lan Wangji will see him then a biggest mess can occur that's why he is inside his room for Jiang family's safety.

After dinner Wei Wuxian meets Jiang Fengmian and Madam Yu in personal. He is so nervous and wants to tell the truth.

"Aunt Yu! Uncle! Please forgive me... I have committed a mistake.", Wei Wuxian says.

"What can we expect from you?", Madam Yu says in harsh tone.

"Wei Wuxian! What happened?", Jiang Fengmian asks.

"I wanted to do a prank with Jiang Cheng so I changed myself in shijie. I did prank and after that Jiang Cheng runs behind me. I mistakenly entered the hall without knowing that Hanguang-Jun is also there and then..", Wei Wuxian says and he stays quiet.

Jiang Fengmian gets shock. He doesn't want to scold Wei Wuxian but he is angry. He calms his anger and looks at Wei Wuxian.

"Wei Wuxian! Please be careful from next time. Yanli is your shijie and don't do any prank by changing yourself in her. What people will think about Yanli. You respect her and you have to save her dignity.", Jiang Fengmian says.

"Emperor! How can you easily forgive him?", Madam Yu shouts and gets up from her seat.

Madam Yu takes out Zidian and walks towards Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian falls on his knees and gets ready to take the punishment.

"Yu! No!", Jiang Fengmian says.

Madam Yu doesn't listen to her husband and she attacks on Wei Wuxian's back with the Zidian. Wei Wuxian tightly closes his eyes and takes all the pain.

Madam Yu comes to her place. Wei Wuxian is in pain. He bows to emperor and empress and then he leaves the room.

Jiang Fengmian is worried about Wei Wuxian.

"No need to care about him. He is ruining our reputation.", Madam Yu says.

Jiang Fengmian and Madam Yu stays quiet for sometime. After that they starts discussing about Jiang Yanli and Jin Zixuan's relationship. They both don't know how to eliminate this problem. They can't even go against Hanguang-Jun because Gusu is most powerful Kingdom. They don't want to create any enemy.

Wei Wuxian returns to his room. He takes out his robes. There's a mark of Zidian on his back. If normal person will get punished by that weapon then he will be dead in seconds but Wei Wuxian has endured the pain. He has golden core also he is strong that's why he is capable of tolerating this pain.

Wei Wuxian himself tries to apply the medicine on his back. The scar is big and deep. Even some blood is oozing from that wound.

On the other side Lan Wangji is resting in his room. He remembers about the moment when Jiang Yanli falls on his arms. He looks into her eyes. Those bright shiny brown eyes are so addictive. He is more attractive to those eyes rather than any other features in Jiang Yanli.

Another flash comes in Lan Wangji's mind. He remembers about arrogant Yiling Patriarch.

"Yiling Patriarch... No one has dared to talk to me in loud voice. You raised your voice against me. Huh! Now I have power to control Yunmeng... I will make you work according to me to break your ego.", Lan Wangji thinks.

Lan Wangji remembers the brown shiny eyes of Yiling Patriarch which are the same as Jiang Yanli's eyes. Lan Wangji shakes his head and closes his eyes.

In Lotus Pier
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

The next day Lan Wangji gives gifts to the emperor of Yunmeng. Then he goes to his guest palace. He has prepared himself to go back to Gusu.

Wei Wuxian with some servants arrives in the courtyard of Lan Wangji's guest palace. All the servants are holding gifts in their hands. It is sent by Jiang Fengmian.

"Hanguang-Jun! Emperor of Yunmeng has sent gifts to you. All the servants are in your courtyard.", Lan Wangji's guard informs.

"Hmm! Tell them to come inside.", Lan Wangji replies.

The guard comes into the courtyard. He signs everyone to come inside. Wei Wuxian and all the servants go into the hall. Lan Wangji's back is towards them.

"Hanguang-Jun! Greetings!", Wei Wuxian says ans he bows down.

Lan Wangji turns behind and looks at Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian stands straight and looks at Lan Wangji.

"Hanguang-Jun! The Emperor has sent all these things for you. He hopes that peace will always remain between the two Kingdoms.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Umm! I hope so. I don't like betrayal. We are alliance so it's both of us duty to help each other.", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian nods his head. He looks at the servants. The servants put all the things in front of Lan Wangji. Many expensive gifts are there. Pearls and gold jewellery are there too.

"Please accept these gifts which is sent by emperor.", Wei Wuxian says.

Lan Wangji nods his head. Wei Wuxian bows in front of Lan Wangji again and he leaves the hall with all his servants.

"Is he the servant?", Lan Wangji asks.

"Maybe! His dress doesn't like servants but I think he is head of the servant.... Empress said that servants will come to us to give us gifts... I think that boy is servant but higher level.", The guard says.

Lan Wangji doesn't reply and he thinks about Wei Wuxian and then he thinks about Jiang Yanli. It's the first time when he is feeling himself attracted towards two people.

Wei Wuxian comes into the courtyard. He clenches his fist.

"I don't like betrayal... Huh! I was so angry when I was heading towards his guest room. What do he think that what he is! Huh! If I had a chance I would insult him. He forced my family to be his alliance and he is expecting everything from us. I was in limit and I didn't argue with him. If I would argue with him and insult him so surely Madam Yu would get angry on me.... Already I created a mess yesterday and I didn't want to create a mess today by arguing with this egoistic emperor that's why I was quiet and controlling my anger.", Wei Wuxian thinks.

Wei Wuxian flips his hair and headed toward his work. Today he has lots of work. He has to go to the market with Xue Yang to buy the weapons and army suit.

Lan Wangji meets Jiang Fengmian for the last moment and then he returns to Gusu.

___________

In Gusu
°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Lan Wangji, Lan Sizhui and all the guards arrive palace. The name of the place is Cloud Recesses. It's a cold place.

Lan Wangji along with his brother and troop returns to the palace. Everyone welcomes him.

Lan Wangji gets down from his horse and walks. Suddenly Lan Wangji's all concubine comes around him.

"Hanguang-Jun! How was the journey?", Lan Liling asks. She is the first concubine of Lan Wangji.

"Hanguang-Jun! I missed you in these days. Did you miss me?", Lan Zi Xuan asks.

********

Name : Lan Zi Xuan
Lan Wangji's second concubine.

*********

Lan Wangji is walking with his thick face. All concubines start running after him. They all want to grab his attention. His all ten concubines are there.

"Hanguang-Jun! Did you feel comfortable there?", Lan Fang asks.

*********

Name : Lan Fang
Lan Wangji's third concubine.

***********

Lan Wangji didn't even look at any of his concubine. He walks towards his palace. He lives in separate palace and no one is allowed to go there without his permission. Only his parents, Lan Sizhui, Lan Xichen and Zhu Yan can go there. Except them no one is allowed.

All the concubines stop at their place because Lan Wangji goes inside his place. They all look at each other.

"Why always Hanguang-Jun ignores me?", A concubine asks.

"Because you look like a pig. Look at your face. And you have gained too much weight.", Lan Fang says.

"Shut up! You are a bitch.", A concubine says to Lan Fang.

"Shhh...stop!", Lan Liling says in frustration.

All the concubines stop arguing. Lan Liling is first concubine that's why she has most power than the other concubines. Her value is more among them.

"Tonight we will ask him for dinner! But everyone has to behave politely.", Lan Liling says.

"I want to meet him in personal.", Lan Zi Xuan says.

"Huh! You will never get a chance. You are just a showpiece.", Lan Fang says.

Again all the concubines start fighting. Suddenly Mian Mian comes there. She is step sister of Lan Wangji.

"Stop shouting. My ears will start bleeding.", Mian Mian says.

Everyone looks at Mian Mian.

"I heard my brother has arrived! Where's he?", Mian Mian asks.

"Inside his palace.", A concubine says.

"Ooh! So you all were fighting for him.", Mian Mian says and she chuckles.

"What's there to laugh?", Lan Liling asks.

"You know very well that my brother doesn't like anyone of you. You all are just showpiece here! Why are you still bothering him? Go to your quarters.", Mian Mian says.

"How dare you! Just because you are his step sister that doesn't mean you can taunt on us! We are Hanguang-Jun's concubines ...we should have more right than you.", Lan Fang says.

Main Mian gets angry. She clenches her fist.

"I will tell my brother to stop giving monthly pocket money to all of you.", Mian Mian says and leaves from there without arguing anymore.

"I will teach her a good lesson! She is a real bitch!", Lan Fang says and clenches her fist.

On the other side Lan Wangji comes into his palace Jingshi. He takes a long bath. He rests inside the bathtub for a long time. He thinks about two people.

Lan Wangji wears his royal robes and comes into his room. A servant informs him that Madam Lan and Lan Liling have arrived his palace. Lan Wangji takes a sigh and he comes into the guest room.

Lan Liling and Madam Lan are sitting there. Lan Wangji greets his mother and he sits with her. A servant serves tea to everyone.

"Wangji! How was the journey? What did you explore in Yunmeng?", Madam Lan asks.

"It was good! Yunmeng is such a special place. It is our neighboring country that's why I wanted to make it out alliance. My work has done. But..", Lan Wangji says and he stops.

Lan Wangji takes a sip of tea.

"But what?", Madam Lan asks.

"They weren't agree first. I had to use force.", Lan Wangji says.

Madam Lan nods her head. It's common for them to force other kingdoms to kneel down in front of them.

Lan Liling looks at Madam Lan and smiles. Madam Yu smiles and nods her head.

"Why did you ignore Liling? She is your first concubine. You should give more priority to her than anyone else.", Madam Lan says.

Lan Wangji glares at Lan Liling but she gives a wink to Lan Wangji.

"Lan Zhan! Are you listening?", Madam Lan asks.

"Yes mother!", Lan Wangji replies..

"Wangji! You are emperor and its time to chose an empress for this kingdom. It's up to you whom you chose. And when you are going to give us good news. I think Liling is good! You should give her a chance. She is better than all other concubines. She is intelligent and smart. She can be an empress.", Madam Lan says.

Lan Wangji puts the cup on the table. He doesn't look at Lan Liling. Lan Liling is blushing. She starts imagining herself in the position of empress.

"Mother! I have found someone.", Lan Wangji says.

Madam Lan gets shock. She smiles and looks curiously at her son. Lan Liling chokes the tea and wipes her lips. She looks at the emperor.

"Who?", Madam Lan asks.

Lan Wangji gets up from his seat. He goes to a window and closes his eyes. Wei Wuxian's face comes in his mind and then he remembers Jiang Yanli's (Wei Wuxian's) eyes.

Lan Wangji only interacted with Wei Wuxian three times. At first time he interacted with him when he was in Jiang Yanli's form, second time when he was in Yiling Patriarch's dress and third time when he arrives his guest palace.

Lan Wangji didn't interact with Jiang Yanli.

"She is a princess.", Lan Wangji says.

Madam Lan gets up from her seat and stands behind Lan Wangji. Lan Wangji turns to his mother and looks into her eyes. He smiles.

"I can't choose that servant... He is man and he is servant! Yanli! She is something which I want. She is unique. I want her. She can give birth to hier... If she will reject me then I will make her concubine...she has to understand that I am only one for her...", Lan Wangji thinks.

"Who is she? Yunmeng's princess? Jiang Yanli?", Madam Lan asks.

Lan Wangji turns towards his mother and nods his head. Madam Lan gets shock. A big smile appears in her face. Finally her son has taken interest in someone. Madam Lan pats her son's shoulder.

"Really?", Madam Lan asks.

"Yes mother! I like Jiang Yanli. I want to make her empress.", Lan Wangji says.

Madam Lan is smiling but then her smile drops and she thinks.

"Is she pure by heart...I mean do she like someone else? What if she will reject you... I am sorry I shouldn't talk like this but this conversation is also necessary...", Madam Lan says.

Lan Wangji clenches his fist and looks at his mother intensely.

"If she will reject me then I will make her my concubine. When she will realize that being empress is better than concubine then I will give her that post.", Lan Wangji says.

"But what if there's already someone in her heart. We need to learn about her.", Madam Lan says.

"Mother. I have taken decision. I will make her mine. If she will not come to me and won't give any hier to us then I will not look at any other lady. She is one and only.", Lan Wangji says.

Madam Lan gets tense. She takes deep breaths and tries to remove the negative thoughts. She prays to the god to unite Lan Wangji and Jiang Yanli. It's the first time when Lan Wangji has taken interest in someone and he is ready to make her empress. Madam Lan never wanted to let go this opportunity.

"Ok! If she is one and only for my son then do whatever you want and make her yours.", Madam Lan says.

Lan Wangji smirks. He looks at the sky from the window. The weather is soothing.

Lan Liling has been looking at both mother and son since a long time. She gets angry when Lan Wangji mentioned about Jiang Yanli. She gets a shock that the emperor wants to marry her.

"Emperor! Excuse me.", Lan Liling says.

Lan Wangji looks at his first concubine. He raised his eyebrows.

"What if Jiang Yanli has already in physical contact with someone else! You need to check her... I think she won't be your type... I heard that the princess of Yunmeng is so fragile. She can't even take decisions properly.", Lan Liling says.

"We have plenty of good teachers. They can teach her everything... From swordsmanship to be mentally strong. If she will learn then she will be able to take better decision for our kingdom.", Lan Wangji says.

Lan Liling comes closer to Lan Wangji. She tries to hold Lan Wangji's hand but Lan Wangji takes a step back.

"How dare you?", Lan Wangji says in a deep voice.

"I... I'm sorry.", Lan Liling says and she bows.

Lan Liling is afraid that she won't be able to become empress. She looks at the emperor.

"What about me? I am your concubine. ", Lan Liling asks.

"You will live in your quarter with other concubines... I am providing you all facilities.. what you want more?", Lan Wangji asks.

Lan Liling gets stunned! She grabs Lan Wangji's hand and comes closer to him. Lan Wangji glares at Lan Liling.

"Keep in distance! How many time I have told you not to come close to me! If you will touch me again I will surely imprison you inside your room and took all the freedom which you have. Be in limits otherwise...", Lan Wangji says as he stops. He has threatened his first concubine.

Lan Liling gets scared. She knows the consequences of making Lan Wangji angry. She keeps distance.

"I'm sorry Hanguang-Jun. Forgive me please.", Lan Liling says.

"Don't come in my palace again. If I have to meet you then I will meet you outside but never ever again come in my palace without my permission.", Lan Wangji says and he grits his teeth.

Madam Lan stays quiet and she looks at Lan Liling. Lan Liling looks at Madam Lan with wet eyes.

Madam Lan and Lan Liling comes out of Lan Wangji's palace. Lan Liling starts crying silently. She is wiping her tears. She sits on a chair and puts both her hands on her face.

"Stop crying. Wangji is always like this. It's not new. Go to your quarter safely.", Madam Lan says.

"Madam Lan! What's problem in me? Hanguang-Jun never spent a day with me. He never came to my room and he never invited me in his room. There isn't any physical bonding in us. ", Lan Liling says.

"It's not only you. He treats all of you equally. It's his personal reason that he hasn't spent nights with you all.", Madam Lan says and she caresses Lan Liling's head.

On the other side Lan Wangji comes out of his palace. He walks towards his elder brother Lan Xichen's house Hanshi.

Lan Wangji enters Hanshi. A maid is working there. She looks at Lan Wangji and she greets him.

"Where's brother?", Lan Wangji asks.

"In courtyard.", the maid replies.

Lan Wangji goes into the courtyard. Lan Xichen is sitting on his wooden wheelchair. He is reading a book. The atmosphere of Hanshi is very calm. Birds are on a beautiful cherry tree. Lan Xichen is sitting under the tree on his wheelchair. His focus is on his book. It seems like interesting.

"Ge.", Lan Wangji says.

Lan Xichen looks at Lan Wangji. A smile appears on his face. Lan Wangji goes to be brother and he greets him.

"Wangji! How was your journey to Yunmeng?", Lan Xichen asks with smile.

"It was good. Leave it now... Tell me how is your health? Did you eat well? Did you take medicine?", Lan Wangji asks.

"I am as it is Wangji.", Lan Xichen says ans his face becomes gloomy.

Lan Xichen looks at his legs which aren't working. Earlier he was fine. When he was sixteen years old then he climbed on a tall tree. He was so careless and he falls on the ground. Both his legs got injured. Since then Lan family hired many doctors to check Lan Xichen but nothing happened. His legs never recovered. Lan Xichen didn't want to face anyone that's why he always lived in Hanshi. He rarely comes out when there's any occasion. His family members meet him time to time. Lan Xichen's health also starts affecting. He was in depression and didn't take proper diet.

Lan Wangji comes near his brother. He takes out something from his robes. Lan Xichen looks at it.

"It's for you. I brought it from Yunmeng.", Lan Wangji says.

Lan Xichen's smile again appears on his face. There's a jade bracelet on Lan Wangji's hand. He held his brother's hand and put the bracelet on his wrist.

"Thank you.", Lan Xichen says.

Lan Wangji smiles. He sits with his brother and talks to him. He tells everything which he finds in Yunmeng.

On the other side Lan Liling meets all concubines. She sits with them and tells them everything.

"Really? That bitch has impressed our Hanguang-Jun!", Lan Fang asks.

"Let her come here! We will make her life miserable! She can't take my position.", Lan Zi Xuan asks.

Liling, Fang and Zi Xuan are the first three concubines of Lan Wangji. They all show dominance over other concubines. They are boss.

All concubines have their own maids who work for them. They get monthly pocket money. Everything is provided to them. But Liling, Fang and Zi Xuan snatches away when they sees any attractive thing to other concubines..

This time also all seven concubines are sitting quietly. Liling, Fang and Zi Xuan are discussing about Lan Wangji and Jiang Yanli.

"I will kill her. We will add poison in her food.", Lan Zi Xuan says.

"Shhhh! Say slowly.", Lan Liling says.

"Hanguang-Jun have never come to us. I think that he even don't like to see our faces but Jiang Yanli has grabbed Hanguang-Jun's attention easily. What's special in her that make Hanguang-Jun crazy about her?", Lan Fang asks.

All concubines are so jealous of Jiang Yanli. They all are eager to destroy her. They don't let her to sit on the position on empress.

Lan Wangji is in Jingshi and he is sitting in his room. There's a table in front of him and he is holding a brush. He dips the brush in the ink and moves it on a scroll.

Lan Wangji is writing a wedding proposal letter to Jiang Yanli. He writes it in the scroll. Then he puts an imperial stem on it.

Lan Wangji soon tells a person to send the scroll to Yunmeng. He looks at the sky and remembers something. He comes out of Jingshi and meets Zhu Yan.

"Yan! I want to meet Bingyi.", Lan Wangji says in a cold voice.

"Okay your highness.", Zhu Yan replies and he bows.

Zhu Yan and Lan Wangji go towards the prison. This prison is so big. Lan Bingyi is imprisoned in the last row. There is no chance for him to escape.

Lan Wangji and Zhu Yan stand in front of Lan Bingyi's prion. There's a wooden door that's why no one can see him inside. Zhu Yan looks down. He is feeling suffocation.

"Zhu Yan!", Lan Wangji says in a harsh voice.

Zhu Yan gets stiff and he stands straight and looks at the door.

"Open the door.", Lan Wangji orders him.

Zhu Yan opens the door. Lan Bingyi is tied up with chains. He is sitting at a corner and his face is hidden in between his knees. Lan Wangji enters the prison. Lan Bingyi uplifts his face and looks at his brother Lan Wangji.

Lan Wangji and Lan Bingyi are staring at each other. Zhu Yan gives look to Lan Bingyi but soon he looks at the other way to avoid eye contact.

"Still you are not going to tell?", Lan Wangji asks.

Lan Bingyi tightly closes his lips and looks other side.

"Who told you to kill me?", Lan Wangji asks.

"I don't like you! I myself wanted to kill you.", Lan Bingyi says.

Lan Wangji grits his teeth and looks at Zhu Yan. Zhu Yan is standing stiff at his place. He looks at Bingyi and then he looks at Lan Wangji.

"He is not going to tell me! Ask him. If he will not tell them inform me.", Lan Wangji says and he comes out of the prison.

Lan Bingyi and Zhu Yan look at each other.

"Why don't you...", Zhu Yan was about to say but Lan Bingyi stops him.

"Shut up! Leave me! Gooo!", Lan Bingyi shouts.

Zhu Yan comes near Lan Bingyi and bends down.

"You know what will happen if you will not tell the name. I know someone is there who manipulated you to kill emperor.", Zhu Yan says.

"No one manipulated me.", Lan Bingyi says.

Zhu Yan closes his eyes and then he looks at Lan Bingyi. He extends his hand towards him but he shrugs off his hand.

After sometime Zhu Yan comes out of the prison and stands in front of Lan Wangji. His head is lowered.

"What happened?", Lan Wangji asks.

"He didn't tell anything.", Zhu Yan says.

Lan Wangji's eyes get cold. He asks a person to beat Lan Bingyi with a hunter. A person goes into the prison and he beats Lan Bingyi with the hunter ten times.

Lan Bingyi's becomes weak. His all over body is hurting. He lies down on the floor but he remains stubborn. He is not ready to speak anything. Zhu Yan is standing outside. Lan Wangji has arrived to assembly hall for his work.

When the person comes out then Zhu Yan goes inside the prison. He sees that Lan Bingyi is lying on the floor. He immediately walks towards him and holds his shoulder but Lan Bingyi pushes him away.

"Stay away!", Lan Bingyi says while gritting his teeth.

"Why don't you tell who told you to attack on emperor. You were never against emperor but who manipulated you? Who's behind everything?", Zhu Yan asks.

Lan Bingyi keeps quiet. Zhu Yan takes out medicine from his robes and gives it on Lan Bingyi's hand.

"I have to go. Apply it on your wounds.", Zhu Yan says.

___________________

In Yunmeng
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Jiang's gets the wedding proposal scroll. They all come in assembly hall and take their seats. Only family members are there.

Jiang Fengmian opens the scroll. It's red in color that's why everyone understands that it's wedding proposal. He reads the scroll silently.

"What happened? What's in it?", Madan Yu asks.

Jiang Fengmian closes the scroll and takes a deep breath. He looks at his wife and then his daughter.

"Hanguang-Jun sent this wedding proposal for Jiang Yanli. He wants to marry her and make her empress.", Jiang Fengmian says.

Everyone gets shocked. Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng look at each other. Jiang Yanli gets tense because she loves Jin Zixuan.

"It can't happen. We will reject it.", Madam Yu says.

"Father! I can't let my jie jie to marry Hanguang-Jun. He is so many concubines and most importantly jie jie likes Jin Zixuan... Jin Zixuan is far better than Hanguang-Jun.", Jiang Cheng says.

Jiang Yanli looks at her father.

"Father. I don't want to marry Hanguang-Jun. I want to reject this proposal.", Jiang Yanli says.

"Hmm! Shijie shouldn't marry that egoistic emperor. Already he has so many concubines... I can't trust that he will love shijie.", Wei Wuxian says.

"That peacock is better that Hanguang-Jun!", Wei Wuxian mumbles.

Everyone discusses a lot about it. Jiang Fengmian rejects the proposal and he puts a stamp on it. He feels a person to send the scroll to Gusu.

"Husband! If he will attack on us then?", Madam Yu asks.

______________

In Gusu
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Lan Wangji receives the scroll. He is alone in Jingshi. He is curious to know the answer.

"She must have accepted it. Who will not want to marry me? Who will not want to become the Empress of Gusu?", Lan Wangji thinks and smirks.

Lan Wangji sits on his table and unties the thread.

"She is so pretty. I deserve her.", Lan Wangji thinks. There's a victory smile on his face. He is feeling proud that he will have the most beautiful women as empress and his wife.

Lan Wangji opens the scroll and soon his facial expressions get cold. His grip becomes tight on the scroll. He throws the scroll away and gets up from his seat in anger.

"It can't happen! No one has dared to reject me!", Lan Wangji mumbles.

Lan Wangji grits his teeth and he grabs the scroll from the floor. He reads it. After it he again throws it on the floor.

"I gave you a golden opportunity to become my queen. But you rejected me? How dare you? Alright! Now I will use other method. When you will realize my value then you yourself wanted to become my wife.", Lan Wangji says.

Lan Wangji immediately grabs another blank scroll and dips the brush into the ink.

"I, Lan Wangji wants Jiang Yanli as my concubine. I like her and I want to make her my concubine. I am ready to provide her all the facilities and I will take her all responsibility. She will be happy with me. I hope the answer will be in my favour. If it's not then I will declare Yunmeng my enemy. The war will happen and Yunmeng will destroyed in few days. I want Jiang Yanli as a concubine or get ready for the war.
~ Emperor Lan Wangji "

Lan Wangji writes on the scroll. He puts an imperial stamp on it. He tells a messenger to send the scroll to Yunmeng.

Lan Wangji goes to his parents' palace to meet them. He is so much angry. Anger is shown in his face and his aura gets more dark. The concubines gets afraid from far. They know that it's dangerous to go in front of Lan Wangji when he is angry.

Lan Wangji enters his parents' palace. He greets his parents and then they sit in a room.

"Wangji! What happened? Why your mood is off?", Lan Qingheng-Jun asks.

"She rejected my proposal!", Lan Wangji says.

Lan Qingheng-Jun and Lan Yi look at each other.

"Wangji. You have power. You are king. Use your power and claim whoever you want. Don't be angry.", Lan Qingheng-Jun says.

"Hmm!", Lan Wangji replies.

"Wangji! You should ask her the reason of rejection. What if she likes someone else?", Lan Yi asks.

"Mother! I don't know whom she likes or not. I know that when she will start living with me then she will like me.", Lan Wangji says.

"That's my son. I am proud of you.", Lan Qingheng-Jun says and he pats on his shoulder.

Lan Wangji smirks. He is satisfied now.

"Now I want to see her. I want to know how she looks. She has grabbed my son's attention and she even dared to reject her. She is so courageous. She is capable of being a queen.", Lan Yi says.

"Mother! I have to make her concubine until she accepts me. If she won't accept me then she will remain my concubine. I can't give the position of the empress to a person who has bitterness for me. Only the person deserves to be empress who respects me and my parents.", Lan Wangji says.

"Do as you wish.", Lan Yi replies.

Lan Wangji's mind gets calm. He spends sometime with parents and then he leaves for his work.

On the other side Lan Sizhui is in library pavilion. He is checking the library works. He comes to a bookshelf.

There's a book on the history of Lanling Kingdom. Jins are their old enemies. Lan Sizhui stares at the book and he turns his face away.

"I love him. The person whom I love belongs to Jin family. My brother will never accept this relationship.", Lan Sizhui thinks.

Lan Sizhui forgets about the work and thinks about the person. He comes to the yard and looks at the sky.

"When will I be able to tell my family that I love him.", Lan Sizhui thinks.

Lan Sizhui takes a small glass jar from his robes. There's a small firefly. He releases the firefly from the jar. The firefly sits on Lan Sizhui's hand.

"Tell him that I miss him and I want to meet him.", Lan Sizhui says.

The firefly flies high in the sky and flies to Lanling kingdom. Lan Sizhui smiles and then he returns to his work.

In Yunmeng
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Jiang Fengmian gets the scroll from Gusu. When he sees the scroll again then he gets tensed. He didn't think that Lan Wangji would return the scroll.

Jiang Fengmian tells everyone to meet in the meeting room. He also goes there with the scroll.

After sometime all the royal family members comes in meeting room. Jiang Fengmian, Madam Yu, Wei Wuxian, Jiang Cheng, Jiang Yanli and other higher ministers are sitting there.

"What happened his highness. Is everything alright?", A minister asks.

"Lan Wangji wants Yanli as his concubine. He threatens us if we will not send her as his concubine then he will destroy us in a few days.", Jiang Fengmian says.

Everyone present in the hall gets shock. They are not ready for war because they don't want to lose the precious lives of their citizens and army.

Jiang Yanli is tense. She loves Jin Zixuan. The sudden news has shivered her. Wei Wuxian's fist tightens and he gets up from his seat. He bows to Jiang Fengmian.

"Emperor! Can you read what he wrote on the scroll?", Wei Wuxian asks.

Jiang Fengmian nods his head and reads the scroll. Jiang Cheng's clenches his sword. He is ready to cut the head of Lan Wangji who has his evil eyes on Jiang Yanli.

Madam Yu and Jiang Fengmian are worried for their daughter and for their citizens too.

"Emperor! Our princess will not become someone's concubine. She is princess and we can't let anyone to lose her dignity.", Jiang Cheng says.

"Emperor! Gusu is so powerful. We can't take risk.", The prime minister says.

"What do you want to say?", Madam Yu asks in anger.

"I am sorry...but it's a serious matter. We have to take decisions carefully.", the minister says.

Everyone gets quiet for some time. Few ministers are gossiping. Jiang Yanli is looking at everyone and then she looks at her father.

"We can't let this war happen but Yanli will not become Hanguang-Jun's concubine.", Jiang Fengmian says.

"How is it possible?", Wei Wuxian asks.

Madam Yu looks at Wei Wuxian. For a moment she gets an idea. She smiles.

"Emperor! We should dismiss this meeting now. Tomorrow we will held the meeting. We need time to think. Everyone will give their opinion tomorrow.", Madam Yu says.

Everyone gets silent due to Madam Yu's decision. The silence fills up in the meeting room. Jiang Fengmian likes the idea.

"We will hold the meeting tomorrow at morning time.", Jiang Fengmian says.

Everyone agrees and they bow their heads. After that everyone leaves. Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng go to Jiang Yanli.

"Jie Jie. Don't worry. I won't let anyone ruin your life. I am always here to protect you.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Shijie! Your both brothers will protect you at any cost. You don't need to get tense. If we will have to fight a war against Hanguang-Jun then we will fight.", Jiang Cheng says.

Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng looks at each other and they smiles.

Only Jiang Fengmian, Madam Yu, Wei Wuxian, Jiang Yanli and Jiang Cheng are in the meeting room. Madam Yu walks towards her daughter and she holds her hand.

"My daughter! Yanli! You will marry the one whom you want. I have a solution for this problem. The war won't happen and Hanguang-Jun will get his concubine.", Madam Yu says.

"How?", Everyone asks.

Madam Yu turns to her husband.

"Husband. You have to support me in my decision. Then only this plan will work. Promise me that you will support me.", Madam Yu says.

Jiang Fengmian nods his head. He is ready to do anything to save his family and Kingdom.

"I promise that I will be with you in every decision you make.", Jiang Fengmian says.

"Mother. What's it?", Jiang Cheng asks.

Madam Yu pats on Jiang Cheng's shoulder and she turns to Wei Wuxian.

"Wei Wuxian. You have ability transform into other body. You have to become Yanli and you have to become Lan Wangji's concubine.", Madam Yu says.

Everyone gets shocked. Jiang Yanli widens her eyes. Nothing comes out from her mouth. Jiang Cheng is too stunned to take any action. Jiang Fengmian's mind goes blank and then remembers the promise which he made a moment ago to Madam Yu.

Wei Wuxian's body turns numb. He can't believe what he heard.

"Wh...what?", Wei Wuxian asks.

"Yes. You have to become Yanli and disguise yourself in her. Only it can prevent the war.", Madam Yu says.

"No! I don't want to be a concubine of Hanguang-Jun. I can't disguise myself as shijie! I am war general Yiling patriarch!", Wei Wuxian says. His voice is heavy.

"But you have to do it! I can't let my daughter to be his concubine. She loves Jin Zixuan. You have to be Hanguang-Jun's concubine. I don't know anything else. Don't forget that we have done a favor on you. We adopted you and took care of you. Can't you disguise yourself as Yanli? Have you forgotten what we have done for you?", Madam Yu says angrily.

"Mother.", Jiang Cheng says. He is worried about Wei Wuxian.

"Shut up. It's about security of our kingdom. Hanguang-Jun likes Yanli but I can't let him marry her. Only Wei Wuxian can be his concubine. He has special ability. Only he can do it.", Madam Yu said in loud and firm voice.

"Aunt! I... I am man. I am war general. I can't be someone's concubine.", Wei Wuxian says and he joins both his hands.

"We have Xue Yang. He will be next war general. Wei Wuxian! You have to sacrifice yourself for our kingdom.", Madam Yu says.

Wei Wuxian falls on his knees. He shakes his head in no. It's the matter of his self respect and most importantly he is a man. Madam Yu takes out her weapon Zidian.

"Wei Wuxian!!", Madam Yu shouts and she attacks on Wei Wuxian with Zidian.

Wei Wuxian feels that he will due on the spot with the attack of Zidian but still he tolerates it.

"Yu... Don't hurt him.", Jiang Fengmian says worriedly.

"Husband! Have you forgotten your promise? You should take a better decision with me. Only Wei Wuxian can do it.", Madam Yu says.

Wei Wuxian looks at Madam Yu with wet eyes. Jiang Cheng and Jiang Cheng grabs Wei Wuxian's arms and makes him stand.

"Mother! I am ready to become Hanguang-Jun's concubine.... He likes me and I don't want to hurt anyone because of myself.", Jiang Yanli says.

"Jie jie! No.... We will find another way. You don't need to go there. And Wei Wuxian is war general.... He will not go there too.", Jiang Cheng says and his grip tightens on Wei Wuxian's arm.

"Cheng! Yanli!", Madam Yu shouts in anger.

Madam Yu grabs Wei Wuxian's shoulder and pushes him on the floor. She again takes a stand to attack on Wei Wuxian with Zidian but this time Jiang Fengmian stops her.

"Yu. Don't hurt him. We will find any other solution.", Jiang Fengmian says.

"What's the other solution? Husband!", Madam Yu asks.

Everyone gets quiet. Wei Wuxian's hands tremble. To become someone's concubine is too humiliating for him. Wei Wuxian's face turns cold, his eyes are red. He gets up from floor and stands a little far from Madam Yu.

"One day Hanguang-Jun will know about Wei Wuxian....And what will we do if he will ever wanted to meet Yiling Patriarch?", Jiang Fengmian asks.

"Xue Yang will become next war general. We will tell Hanguang-Jun that Yiling Patriarch died in war with Wens.", Madam Yu says.

"Death!", Wei Wuxian thinks and he doesn't like the idea.

The atmosphere is dense. It's the only Sol they have to prevent the war but Wei Wuxian has to sacrifice his life.

"Mother! Father! I will be Hanguang-Jun's...", Jiang Yanli says.

"No Shijie!", Wei Wuxian says.

"If you can't see her to become Lan Wangji's concubine and you have to take her place.", Madam Yu shouts.

Jiang Fengmian has clenched his fist. He closes his eyes. He remembers the way he took care of Wei Wuxian. He has spoiled him more than Jiang Cheng. He gave him more freedom because he never wanted to make him feel outsider and adopted. Jiang Fengmian is too much attached with him. He is more like his son and he doesn't want to lose his son. But he has promised his wife that he will take her side.

Jiang Fengmian sits on his seat and he holds his forehead. Madam Yu goes to him and puts her hand on his shoulder.

"Husband. Remember your promise. Only you can approve it further. Just say yes and save everyone. One has to sacrifice.", Madam Yu says.

Jiang Fengmian looks at his wife and daughter. It's true that he doesn't want to lose his daughter in the hands of Lan Wangji. He has to protect her but at the cost of Wei Wuxian.

Jiang Fengmian's face gets serious. He doesn't look at Wei Wuxian. He put one hand on his back. Finally he has taken the decision.

"Wei Wuxian! You have to become Hanguang-Jun's concubine. It's final.", Jiang Fengmian says.

The ground beneath Wei Wuxian's feet slipped away. He feels that his world has stopped. He is forced to be a concubine. He has to lost his dignity of a war general.

Wei Wuxian remains silent. His head is lowered and tears slip from his eyes. Jiang Fengmian turns his face away. He doesn't want to see his tears. He has controlled his emotions till now. As an emperor he has to take a beneficial decision.

Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yanli get worried again Wei Wuxian. In front of Jiang Fengmian they both remain silent. Madam Yu has a smile. She normally smiles and praises her husband.

"Husband. You have taken a very good decision. I agree with it.", Madam Yu says.

"Hmm.", Jiang Fengmian replies.

Wei Wuxian kneels in front of Jiang Fengmian.

"As you wish emperor! I am ready to be his concubine in disguise of shijie.", Wei Wuxian says. Finally he has accepted it.

Madam Yu pats Wei Wuxian's shoulder.

"Your specialty is worth it. Someday you had to use it for a good purpose and you have gotten a chance. You should feel great that you have saved so many lives. Don't be upset.", Madam Yu says.

Wei Wuxian doesn't reply. His eyes are emotional and his body is numb.

"We will send many guards with you. They will protect you.", Jiang Fengmian says.

"Hanguang-Jun never touch anyone without their permission. You can deny him as long you want.", Madam Yu says.

It's the final decision that Wei Wuxian will become Lan Wangji's concubine. Wei Wuxian has accepted his fate. It's very difficult at first but he has convinced his mind that he can do it.

Jiang Fengmian agrees and he send a letter to Lan Wangji in which he mentioned that Jiang Yanli has accepted the proposal and there's no need of war.

After sending the letter everyone takes relief breath and waits for Lan Wangji's response. But Wei Wuxian is so restless. He is trying to prepare himself mentally to become Lan Wangji's concubine. He doesn't have any option. Everything is in his hand. It was him because of whom the problem happened and now he has to solve it by himself. He has to sacrifice himself to save the Jiang Kingdom.

Wei Wuxian comes into his room and he closes the door. This time he doesn't want to face anyone. He wants time to think about it. Many questions are coming in his mind.

Jiang Yanli and Jiang Cheng are so tense about their brother. They know he is silly but still they love him a lot. They both couldn't speak anything in favor of Wei Wuxian because Jiang Yu was dominant there.

Jiang Fengmian had to sacrifice Wei Wuxian for Jiang Yanli. He is feeling sorry for his adopted son because he can't protect him by becoming Lan Wangji's concubine.

Wei Wuxian is searching all his necessary things. He packed everything in a wooden suitcase. He finds his toys from which he used to play in his childhood and he kept them in the suitcase. After that he looks at the things which were given to him by his adopted parents. As a memory he wants to take everything with him.

"I don't know for how long I have to live there.", Wei Wuxian thinks.

Wei Wuxian packs all the things which are related to his childhood and teenage memories. After that he sits on the edge of bed and his grip tightens on the bedsheet.

Suddenly Wei Wuxian widens his eyes. He gets an idea and a devil smirk appears on his face. But soon the smirk drops and he make pout.

"No.... This idea is not good. Bothering Hanguang-Jun can be risky. It will ruin the image of my shijie. If I will bother Hanguang-Jun in palace and show tantrums then he might get angry or he can give me death penalty. No...no... But I have to do something so he will let me go.", Wei Wuxian thinks.

"Or... What If I will live there and built a plan against him. I will kill him by poison. He will die and I will not have to live there. I will be free and Shijie will be freely able to marry Jin Zixuan. There won't be any war if Hanguang-Jun will die. Many lives will be saved. Yes..it's a better option. No Hanguang-Jun, No war.", Wei Wuxian thinks and he smirks.

Lan Wangji is in his palace. It's evening time and guard enters the palace while holding the scroll. He bows to Lan Wangji and gives the scroll to him.

Lan Wangji let him go and closes the door. He looks at the scroll and he is satisfied now. He knows that no one would like a war against him. It's better to do whatever he says.

Lan Wangji goes to his seat and puts the scroll in the table. After that he opens it and reads it. There's satisfaction on his face.

Lan Wangji grabs the scroll and comes out of the palace and goes to his parents' palace. Suddenly Fang appears in front of him. She is third number concubine. Lan Wangji gives her death glare.

"I.. I'm sorry Hanguang-Jun.", Fang says and gets aside.

Fang heard that Jiangs have responded to the letter which Lan Wangji sent them. She wants to know what they wrote in the letter.

Lan Wangji starts walking again and Fang walks behind him.

"Hanguang-Jun! I want to know something...Can I?",Fang asks.

"Yes.", Lan Wangji replies without looking at Fang.

"Is Jiang Yanli ready to be your concubine?", Fang asks.

"Umm.", Lan Wangji replies.

Fang stopped at her place. She immediately walks towards her quarter where all the concubines live. She wants to inform them.

Lan Wangji comes to his parents' palace and he greets them. After that they all sit in dining area. Dinner is ready. Today Lan Sizhui, and Lan Xichen, Mian Mian also arrived in palace to have dinner with their parents'. They all gets interested when they see scroll in Lan Wangji's hand.

"What happened? Have they agreed?", Lan Qingheng-Jun asks.

"Yes father.", Lan Wangji replies. He shows the letter to his father.

Lan Xichen doesn't know how to react because he also knows that Lan Wangji has forced Jiang Yanli to become his concubine. He stays quiet.

"Brother! Now you will have eleven concubines! One more is going to come here. When you are going to marry?", Mian Mian asks.

Lan Wangji stays silent. He wanted to marry but he got rejection and he doesn't want to give the position of empress to the person who doesn't like him.

"I will think later.", Lan Wangji replies.

After that a servant serves dinner in everyone's plate and bowl. They have had dinner together. No one talk while eating food. It's a rule.

___________
**********

The next day Zhu Yan prepares a troop and a carriage. Mian Mian herself chose the carriage in which Jiang Yanli is going to come there.

"You all listen carefully. It's your responsibility to keep her safe. Nothing should be happen to her.", Lan Wangji says.

Two other normal carriages are also prepared by a minister and it is filled with jewellery, royal clothes, jade stone and many other expensive things. It's all for the Emperor of Yunmeng. These two carriages are normal for Lans but it's very expensive for others. They are made of special kind of words and it has designed well.

Lan Lingjiao and Lan Su She are standing far. They both are looking that how Lan Wangji is crazy for Jiang Yanli. Lingjiao stamps her feet in anger. Su She holds her hand.

"Let her come here! I will make her life hell.", Lan Lingjiao says.

Su She Looks at Lan Wangji. He looks at his crown and clenches his fist. He touch his head and imagine the crown on his head.

"What are you thinking?", Lan Lingjiao asks.

"That crown would look good on my head.", Su She says.

"Never! Hanguang-Jun is made for it.", Lan Lingjiao says and leaves Su She's hand.

Lan Lingjiao leaves from there in anger. Su She looks at Lan Lingjiao and then he looks at Lan Wangji in anger.

All the concubines are looking at Lan Wangji. They want a chance to talk to him but Lan Wangji doesn't even look at them. At this time he is only thinking about Jiang Yanli.

Wang Zixuan, Lan Wang's second concubine walks towards the emperor but soon Mian Mian stands in front of her. She doesn't let her meet the emperor.

"Get off my way!", Wang Zixuan says in anger.

"My brother is busy. Don't bother him.", Mian Mian says.

"I said...." Wang Zixuan says but suddenly Mian Mian takes out her sword.

Wang Zixuan gets flinched.

"I will throw you in the mud. I will cut your hair. Get off right NOW!", Mian Mian says while gritting her teeth.

Lan Liling, Fang and other concubines get afraid. They keep distance from Mian Mian. Mian Mian is so savage and she knows how to control these brat concubines.

Within one hour after rechecking everything a troop arrives towards Yunmeng Kingdom. Zhu Yan also arrives with them for safety.

_____________________

In Lotus Pier
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

The procession arrives Yunmeng. Few days ago they sent a letter to Lan Wangji and Lan Wangji has sent procession to Yunmeng for Jiang Yanli.

Wei Wuxian is shocked because he didn't think that he has to go within these days. He was prepared for it but it's sudden.

Everyone welcomed the procession in Lotus Pier. Wei Wuxian has to run inside his room. He doesn't want to face anything right now. Jiang Yanli is also in her room.

Jiang Fengmian welcomed the procession. The procession greets the emperor. All Jiang family members are present in the hall even ministers are also there. Zhu Yan comes in front and he greets the emperor.

"Emperor Jiang Fengmian! We are here to bring princess Jiang Yanli with us. Hanguang-Jun has ordered us to bring the princess as soon as possible. We have to take here to Gusu today.", Zhu Yan says.

"T..today!", Jiang Cheng says shockingly.

"Yes. Today!", Zhu Yan says.

A maid comes beside Zhu Yan and she sits on her knees. There's a box in her hand. There's a dress in it.

"Hanguang-Jun has told us to give this dress to the princess. She has to wear this dress today.", Zhu Yan says.

Madam Yu smiles and she happily nods her head. The dress is inside the box.

"Can't Yanli go tomorrow?", Jiang Fengmian asks.

"I am sorry but it's Hanguang-Jun's order. He doesn't want any delay.", Zhu Yan says.

"You all would be tired. Have some rest for one day.", Jiang Cheng says.

"No! We are not tired. We have less time. Ask the princes to wear the dress and come with us. The royal beauty experts are also here for the princess. They will get her ready.", Zhu Yan says.

Jiang Fengmian and Jiang Cheng are shocked. Only Madam Yu is there who is smiling. Xue Yang also arrives in the hall and he stands behind Jiang Cheng.

Wei Wuxian has sent Xue Yang. He wants to know the conversation.

Zhu Yan gives the jewellery, jades, clothes and other gifts to Jiang's.

"Hanguang-Jun has sent all these things for you.", Zhu Yan says.

All the gifts are placed near Jiang Fengmian. Zhu Yan smiles and he looks around but he couldn't find Jiang Yanli.

"We are getting late. I hope you will understand.", Zhu Yan says.

"Come with me.", Jiang Cheng says to Xue Yang.

Xue Yang nods his head and he along with Jiang Cheng comes to Wei Wuxian's room.

"I am so nervous!", Xue Yang says.

"It's a thing to be worried about. Even Emperor has sent royal beauty experts.", Jiang Cheng says.

Soon Jiang Cheng and Xue Yang come in front of Wei Wuxian's room. They knock on the door. Wei Wuxian opens the door and finds that his brother and co-warrior is present there.

"You are ready!", Jiang Cheng asks.

Wei Wuxian is in Jiang Yanli's form. He immediately transformed himself into Jiang Yanli.

"Yes. I didn't have any option. What's going there?", Wei Wuxian asks worriedly. His heart is beating fast due to weird feelings.

Xue Yang and Jiang Cheng come inside and they tell everything to Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian is numb after knowing that today he has to leave Lotus Pier. He wanted to spend some more days in Lotus Pier. He never wanted to leave it but after knowing that he had to become Lan Wangji's concubine, Nie he doesn't hav any other option.

"Come in the hall. All are present there.", Jiang Cheng says.

Wei Wuxian half heartedly agrees. He arrives towards the hall. Every time he takes small steps. Jiang Cheng and Xue Yang knew that Wei Wuxian doesn't want it. But nothing is in their hand.

Wei Wuxian arrives in the hall in the form of Jiang Yanli. Zhu Yan greets him. He also believes that she's princess Jiang Yanli.

Wei Wuxian keeps silent all the time because he is male and he doesn't have any qualities of female. He is afraid that if he would talk and do any action then others would think him weirdo.

Jiang Fengmian, Madam Yu, Jiang Cheng and all the ministers talks to Zhu Yan for sometime. Wei Wuxian quietly listened to the conversation.

After that Lan royal beauty experts bow their heads. Zhu Yan points towards them.

"All these will get you ready.", Zhu Yan says.

"No!", Suddenly Wei Wuxian says in loud voice due to fear.

Everyone looks at him confusingly except Jiang family members. No one knows that it's Wei Wuxian not Jiang Yanli except Jiang family. Even ministers don't know about the transformation quality of Wei Wuxian.

"But why?", Zhu Yan says after breaking the silence.

"B.. because! Because I don't like it, other touch me. I have always cared about my own beauty. I never allow anyone to touch myself. I will get ready by myself. Thanks for all this but sorry I can't let them touch myself. I will do it by myself.", Wei Wuxian says and he apologizes.

Zhu Yan understands and he agrees. A servant gives the royal Lan hanfu to Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian holds it and goes to his room.

Wei Wuxian's eyes are wet. He is a war general but today he is going to be someone's concubine. His grip tightens on the hanfu.

Xiao Xingchan informs everything to Jiang Yanli that Wei Wuxian has to leave today. After knowing it Jiang Yanli gets very sad and emotional. He immediately comes out of her room and runs to Wei Wuxian's room.

Jiang Yanli enters Wei Wuxian's room. She sees that Wei Wuxian is standing in front of mirror while holding his royal hanfu.

Jiang Yanli goes to Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian hides his tears and looks at his shijie.

"A-Xian!", Jiang Yanli says worriedly..

"I am fine shijie.", Wei Wuxian says because he felt worried in Jiang Yanli's voice.

"Don't go if you don't want.... I am ready to go... But I can't see tears in your eyes. Still we have chance. Give these robes to me.", Jiang Yanli says.

Wei Wuxian hides the royal hanfu behind him.

"No! You have loved Childe Jin. You have to marry him. I can't let you take any risk. I will handle it.", Wei Wuxian says.

"But I am afraid. By chance if they will know your identity... And what will happen if they will request to meet Yiling Patriarch! How you will handle everything?", Jiang Yanli asks.

Wei Wuxian puts both his hands on Jiang Yanli's shoulder. He made her sit on a couch.

"I will handle everything. When I will not pay any attention on Hanguang-Jun then he will himself leave me... He never touch anyone without their consent. He will never touch me too. I will bother him a lot. He will himself send me Yunmeng again.", Wei Wuxian says.

Jiang Yanli silently looks at Wei Wuxian. She is upset because she can't do anything. Wei Wuxian goes inside a changing room and wears the royal hanfu.

When Wei Wuxian comes out and stands near Jiang Yanli then she gets shock. Wei Wuxian is in Jiang Yanli's form and he is wearing royal hanfu.

"A-Xian! Y..you are looking just like me! No one will be able to see any difference.", Jiang Yanli says.

Jiang Yanli starts moving around Wei Wuxian.

"I don't know anything about make-up and hairstyle. Will you do it for me? Hanguang-Jun sent royal makeup artist for you but I rejected them.", Wei Wuxian says.

Jiang Yanli nods her head. She holds Wei Wuxian's hand and makes him sit on the chair in front of dressing table. After that she comb his hair and apply jewelery on his hair. Wei Wuxian closes his eyes.

Half an hour later Jiang Yanli finishes her work.

"A-Xian! Look at yourself.", Jiang Yanli says.

Wei Wuxian opens his eyes and looks at himself in the mirror. For a moment he forgot that it's him not his Shijie.

"You are looking so beautiful.", Wei Wuxian says.

"It's not me... it's you.", Jiang Yanli says.

Wei Wuxian realizes that it's him who is in Jiang Yanli's form. Then they both get ready to leave the room.

"Shijie! You have to marry Jin Zixuan secretly as soon as possible. Otherwise chaos will happen. Our minister also doesn't know about my secret. If they will see you here then they can ask many questions and this news will spread out of the kingdom. Hide yourself in this palace and don't come in front of anyone. You have to be more conscious.", Wei Wuxian says.

Jiang Yanli nods her head and he caresses Wei Wuxian's head. Jiang Yanli wear a cloth mask on her face and they both come out of the room while holding each other's hand.

Jiang Yanli leave Wei Wuxian in hallway after hugging him for five minutes. After that she leaves to her room. She is so sad and she doesn't want to show her tears to her brother.

Wei Wuxian also gets emotional. He comes into imperial hall. Everyone looks at him. Wei Wuxian tries to calm himself.

Jiang Cheng and Jiang Fengmian tighten their fists. Wei Wuxian in Jiang Yanli's form looking beautiful and everyone are looking at him by thinking that he is Jiang Yanli.

Jiang Cheng breaks the silence and he hits the tip of his sword on the ground. Everyone comes into their senses and they lower their heads. All the time Wei Wuxian was uncomfortable when he felt so many eyes on himself.

Wei Wuxian is in red hanfu and he is wearing jewelery which Lan Wangji has sent for him. Not for him but for Jiang Yanli. No one knows except Jiang family what's happening there. Now Xue Yang and Xiao Xingchan have learned about Wei Wuxian's specialty too.

"Princess. You can meet your family and friends. You have only sometimes. After that we have to leave.", Zhu Yan says.

Wei Wuxian nods his head. He goes to Jiang Fengmian and bows in front of him. They both don't speak anything and remain silent. They only look at each other. Jiang Fengmian nods his head.

After that Wei Wuxian goes to Jiang Cheng. Jiang Cheng hugs him.

"I will miss you. Try to come fast.", Jiang Cheng mumbles in Wei Wuxian's ear.

"Hmm.", Wei Wuxian replies.

Wei Wuxian breaks the hug. He comes to Madam Yu. Madam Yu holds Jiang Yanli's hand and she starts crying.

"My daughter... I will miss you so much... We have lots of memories together. How I will live without you. But I have to.", Madam Yu says and she starts crying more.

Wei Wuxian stays silent. His eyes are wet too but he isn't crying. He is shockingly looking at Madam Yu.

"Yanli!", Madam Yu says and starts crying more.

Wei Wuxian doesn't know what to do. He can't even hug Madam Yu. He takes a deep breath and caresses her hand. Madam Yu creates the distance while sobbing and looks at him.

"We all will miss you. Take care of yourself.", Madam Yu says.

Wei Wuxian nods his head. After that some maids come to Wei Wuxian and they walk towards Zhu Yan.

"Let's go!", Zhu Yan says.

Wei Wuxian nods his head. A maid stands behind Wei Wuxian. She is Xiao Yu.

Then they all greet Jiang Fengmian and starts walking out from the palace. Wei Wuxian is walking silently. His face is cold and he doesn't even look at anyone.

Suddenly Xue Yang appears in front of Wei Wuxian with all the main army men. He bows to him.

"Xue Yang! Now the Kingdom is in your hand.", Wei Wuxian says.

"I will protect it. I am faithful to my motherland. I will wait for you.", Xue Yang says.

Wei Wuxian has a small smile on his face which soon disappears.

"We are getting late. Please let us go.", Zhu Yan says.

Xue Yang looks at Wei Wuxian and nods his head. He gives him the way to go. Wei Wuxian starts walking again.

They all reached near the carriage. Wei Wuxian sits in a carriage which is mostly made of gold and gems. Its luxury. He sits inside. Xiao Yu helps Wei Wuxian to sit inside the carriage.

Zhu Yan sits on his carriage. After that everyone takes their position. Maids sit inside the carriage and male servant rides on the horse. Some start walking while holding the sword.

The procession leaves to Gusu. Jiang Yanli is looking at the scene from the window of her room. Tears slip from her eyes.

"He has gone.", Xiao Xingchan says. He is in Jiang Yanli's room.

"Umm.", Jiang Yanli replies.

_____________

In Gusu
°°°°°°°°°°°°

After a long tiring journey the procession reached Gusu. In the journey Zhu Yan provides everything to the people who belongs from Yunmeng. He takes special care of Jiang Yanli.

Wei Wuxian is so restless and many weird thoughts start coming in his mind. He doesn't want to think anything. He peeks his head out from the curtains of the carriage and looks outside. Everyone is in the market place.

Wei Wuxian has seen this much biggest market for the first time. This kind of market isn't in Yunmeng. He looks around and sees that many biggest shops and Inns are there.

Everything is available in the market. Wei Wuxian looks at the sky which is covered with clouds. Today the weather is cold.

The maid gives an outer robe to Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian wears it and again he starts looking out of the carriage.

After a few hours they all reach the gate of the Lan palace. The gate is very huge and strong. It is made on black and red theme.

Many guards are standing outside the main gate while holding shield and sword. Zhu Yan goes to his military team. Everyone bows to him.

The huge gate opens and everyone gets aside while leaving the space for the procession. Wei Wuxian peaks his head out of the curtains and looks at the military. It's only ten percent military which is standing there. But they are too much in numbers. It would take time for Wei Wuxian to count Lan Wangji's army.

The procession starts going inside the palace. Wei Wuxian puts his head inside and stays silent. His heart is racing like a horse. Today he is going to face Lan Wangji.

Inside the palace Lan Wangji has arrived in the court. Lan Wangji's all sisters and brothers are there. They are all excited to see Jiang Yanli.

Lan Wangji's ten all ten concubines are present there too. Lan Liling is fanning herself. Fang and Lan Zixuan are trying to see Jiang Yanli's face.

Lan Qingheng-Jun, Lan Yi and prime minister Lan Qiren are standing with Lan Wangji.

"Take her out of the carriage. Help her.", Lan Yi says to Lan Wangji.

Lan Wangji nods his head. He walks towards the carriage and stops near it. He extended his hand to Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian gets flinch when he sees a strong and big hand.

Wei Wuxian gulps and holds the hand. Lan Wangji pulls Wei Wuxian out of the carriage. Wei Wuxian comes out. When his eyes fall on Lan Wangji then he looks at his hand.

Lan Wangji is lost in looking at Wei Wuxian. He wants to look into his eyes. His eyes are so addictive. For him Jiang Yanli is standing in front of him.

Everybody in Lan family sees Jiang Yanli's face for the first time. Lan Yi smiles.

"My son's choice is best.", Lan Yi says.

"Indeed.", Lan Qingheng-Jun replies.

"She is beautiful.", Fang says.

"What did you say?", Lan Liling asks in anger.

"Is she more beautiful then me?", Lan Zixuan asks in anger too.

Fang gets quiet. Suddenly Lan Lingjiao comes to them and she starts laughing.

"You got a competitor.", Lan Lingjiao says.

"It's easy for us to remove her from our way.", Lan Liling says.

"She is Hanguang-Jun's special.", Lan Lingjiao says.

"But I will destroy her. She can't take my position.", Lan Lingjiao thinks. She is cousin of Lan Wangji but still she wants him.

"I will rot her image in everyone's eyes.", Lan Zixuan says.

"Good luck.", Lan Lingjiao says and walks towards the other side while fanning herself.

All the concubines starts getting jealous. And on the other side Su She's eyes stuck on Jiang Yanli. She smirks while looking at her from head to toe.

Wei Wuxian greets Lan Wangji and he bows. Lan Wangji nods his head. He again holds Wei Wuxian's hand and then starts taking him into the assembly hall.

After a few minutes everyone comes in the assembly hall. Wei Wuxian is looking straight with no expression. Then he glares at Lan Wangji's hand by which he is holding Wei Wuxian's hand.

"You can leave my hand.", Wei Wuxian says.

Lan Wangji leaves Wei Wuxian's hand half heartedly. Wei Wuxian takes a sigh of relief and creates distance between himself and him.

Everyone takes their place. Lan Wangji sits on his throne. All the family members take their respective seats. Wei Wuxian along with his maids and servant is standing in the middle of the assembly hall.

Wei Wuxian is wearing heavy robes and now he starts feeling dizzy. All the way he was sitting that's why it didn't affect him but these robes are more heavier than the shield which Wei Wuxian used to wear in war.

"Why these clothes have too many layers. It's suffocating me and I am not able to concentrate on anything properly.", Wei Wuxian thinks.

Xiao Yu is standing with Wei Wuxian. Her head is lower. She feels that someone is looking at her. Xiao Yu turns her head to see the person who is looking at her from sometime.

Lan Xichen is looking at Xiao Yu for a long time. When Xiao Yu looks at Lan Xichen then Lan Xichen turns his face towards Lan Wangji and looks at him with straight face.

Xiao Yu ignores Lan Xichen and she again bows her head. She has seen that Lan Xichen is sitting on wooden wheelchair.

"Jiang Yanli!", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian greets Lan Wangji and sits on his knees. He is under compulsion otherwise he would never sit on his knees in front of anyone except Jiang family.

"From now onwards you are my concubine. You and your everything belongs to me. You have to follow the rules of Gusu and follow our every decision.", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian is sitting silently. Lan Wangji's dangerous eyes on him. Wei Wuxian can feel those eyes. His fist tightens. He is imagining that if his Shijie would be here then she would definitely feel uncomfortable due to Lan Wangji's presence.

"You are Lan Yanli. You are a Lan.", Lan Wangji says.

"You are Lan Yanli. You are a Lan.", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian nods his head.

"Now you can get up.", Lan Wangji says.

Xiao Yu and another maid helps Wei Wuxian to get up from the floor. Wei Wuxian was about to fall because of those heavy robes but he manages himself. He takes a sigh of relief.

"You have to know about our family members. Tomorrow you will be invited in family banquet. Then you will get chance to meet and know all the Lan family members.", Lan Wangji says.

"Hmm.", Wei Wuxian replies.

Xioa Yu and other maids give the present to Hanguang-Jun which they brought from Yunmeng. There's many expensive and unique things.

After that Wei Wuxian leaves from there with his maids. Lan Sizhui also goes with him to show a quarter which is specially prepared for Jiang Yanli.

All the concubines lives in one quarter and that quarter has many rooms. But Jiang Yanli is treated specially and she has a separate and big quarter. It's more like a small palace.

Lan Sizhui takes Wei Wuxian to the palace. They come on the courtyard.

"It's your quarter.", Lan Sizhui says.

Wei Wuxian nods his head. He looks at the quarter which is very beautiful and there are cherry blossom trees everywhere. The courtyard is big and different types of flowers are also there.

Wei Wuxian and other maids go inside the quarter. Lan Sizhui also goes with them. From inside its fine.

"Take rest. If you will need anything then tell the servent. We will provide you everything. It's Hanguang-Jun's order for all the servant to provide you everything which you need. If you need more guards and maids then we will provide you.", Lan Sizhui says.

"No! I already have so many maids from Yunmeng. If you want then you can put few guards outside the quarter for safety of my maids.", Wei Wuxian says.

"As you wish eleventh concubine.", Lan Sizhui says.

Wei Wuxian feels it weird when Lan Sizhui calls him eleventh concubine.

"Listen first of all!", Wei Wuxian says.

Lan Sizhui surprisingly looks at Wei Wuxian. For him it's Jiang Yanli.

"Don't call me concubine. Please.", Wei Wuxian says politely.

"Okay. If you feels uncomfortable with this name then I will not call you from that word from the next time. I am sorry.", Lan Sizhui says.

Wei Wuxian gets impressed with Lan Sizhui's behavior. He is very calm and polite. Wei Wuxian smiles.

"It's okay. Don't apologize.", Wei Wuxian says.

Lan Sizhui smiles. Wei Wuxian sits on a chair and spreads his legs. He is tired. He holds a handfan and starts fanning him. This time he isn't behaving like a lady. He is in his original nature.

Everyone gets shocked to see Wei Wuxian's behavior. For them Jiang Yanli is there. Lan Sizhui lowers his gaze.

"Princess!", Xiao Yu says.

Wei Wuxian looks at Xiao Yu and everyone. He immediately fixed his pose and sits on the chair like a girl.

"Now I am going. Give me permission.", Lan Sizhui says.

"You can go.", Wei Wuxian replies.

Lan Sizhui comes out of the quarter. After that the maids arrange all the things in that quarter. There's a big room for Jiang Yanli and other rooms for the maids and other servants which came with the princess..

Wei Wuxian goes into his room and he immediately disrobe himself. He is in inner rob. He is relaxed now. He lies on the bed and closes his eyes.

"What's next? I have arrived here as Hanguang-Jun's concubine. I have to be careful.", Wei Wuxian thinks.

Wei Wuxian sits on the bed. This time he comes in his real form.

___________________

In Yunmeng
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Jiang Yanli is in her room. Today she is wearing red wedding robes. There are tears in her eyes.

"Today I am going to marry Jin Zixuan. My first love. I will starts a new life with him. I can't love here for many days because everyone get doubt on me. No one knows except my family that real Jiang Yanli is here and Wei Wuxian is there instead of me. He has sacrificed himself for me. It's my duty not to create any trouble for him.", Jiang Yanli thinks.

Jiang Yanli wears the red veil. She comes out of the room. Jiang Cheng was standing outside the room for half an hour. When Jiang Yanli opens the door then he extends his hand towards her.

Jiang Yanli holds Jiang Cheng's hand. They both are silent. Jiang Cheng wanted a grand wedding for his jie jie but destiny played a game. Now everything is happening secretly.

Jiang siblings come into the wedding hall. Only Madam Yu, Jiang Fengmian, Jin Ling and Jin Zixuan are present there. No one is there except them. Even guards and servants are outside the hall. They are not even allowed to listen anything which is going in the wedding hall.

Jiang Yanli holds a corner of silk cloth. Jin Zixuan holds the other corner of the silk cloth. Jin Zixuan is excited because he is going to marry his first love, whom he loves more than his life. He looks arrogant from outside but his heart is so soft.

Jin Ling is happy for his brother. He stands away from them.

*************

Name : Jin Ling
Age : 22
Son of Jin Guangshan and madam Jin. He is younger brother of Jin Zixuan.

*************

Jiang Yanli and Jin Zixuan perform their wedding rituals. They both bowed three times. After that they drink wine. Jiang Yanli only takes a sop. It's a ritual that's why she can't deny it.

After that Jiang Yanli and Jin Zixuan greets Jiang Fengmian and Madam Yu. They both got so many blessings from them.

Jiang Cheng hugs his sister. He is emotional. Jiang Yanli pats Jiang Cheng's shoulder. She sobs and wipes her tears. After that Jiang Yanli hugs her mother and father.

Jiang Cheng comes to Jin Zixuan.

"Take care of my sister. She is so much profit us. From now her life's responsibilities are yours. Promise me that you will keep my sister happy and never let anyone harm her. If I will see tears in my jie jie's eyes then it's responsible will be you. You have to take care of her.", Jiang Cheng says.

"I promise I will keep her happy.", Jin Zixuan says.

After a final goodbye Jin Zixuan, Jin Ling and Jiang Yanli comes out from the wedding hall from an another area. This way is clear and no one there who can see them.

"Brother! Why we are doing all this? I mean you could marry her in front of everyone but you chose secret way. Why?", Jin Ling asks.

"Hanguang-Jun has forced the king to be his alliance. If Hanguang-Jun will know that Jiang Yanli has married to me then he will start a war against Yunmeng.", Jin Zixuan says.

"Brother! I heard that Hanguang-Jun sent marriage proposal for sister in law. Then what happened to it? If sister is law is here then who's there?", Jin Ling asks.

Jin Zixuan tells everything to Jin Ling about Hanguang-Jun. But he didn't tell him that Wei Wuxian is there in disguise of Jiang Yanli. He doesn't want to expose some secrets.

"Jin Ling! It's a big secret and no one should know about it. Someone is there instead of me and that person has sacrificed himself for my happiness.", Jiang Yanli says.

Jin Ling nods his head. Then he walks silently with Jin Zixuan and Jiang Yanli.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

It's evening time. Wei Wuxian is sitting in his room. He is in his original form. All the maids have already adjusted the things in the quarter.

Wei Wuxian heard knocks on the door. He takes Jiang Yanli's form and then he opens the door. A servant is standing there.

"Hanguang-Jun has arrived here to meet you.", The servant says.

Wei Wuxian widens his eyes.

"Okay.", Wei Wuxian replies and he immediately closes the door.

"Oh no! Why is he here? What does he want? Today I am very tired but still he has come here to meet me.", Wei Wuxian thinks.

Wei Wuxian gets prepared properly and he wears the jewellery. He calls a maid inside the room and tells her to apply make-up on his face.

Wei Wuxian comes out of his room. He sees that Lan Wangji is standing in the hall in the same aura. Dense aura and dominating personality.

"Hanguang-Jun! You here?", Wei Wuxian asks shockingly.

"Yes. I arrived here to check everything. If you are feeling uncomfortable or you want some other things or extra maids then you can inform me.", Lan Wangji says.

"It's okay! I don't need nothing. Every necessary things are available here. You don't need to get worried for me. You can go in your palace and take rest.", Wei Wuxian says. He doesn't want Lan Wangji to live there for a single moment.

"Right now I am not tired. I arrived here to talk to you. Let's have some talk.", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian gets irritated. Lan Wangji tells all the people to go out of the hall. He wants to spend sometime with his new concubine.

Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian sit on a table. Wei Wuxian tries to act elegantly. Lan Wangji is observing him and he can see that Wei Wuxian's behavior is not normal. He doesn't know that the person in front of him is Wei Wuxian not Jiang Yanli.

Lan Wangji diverted his gaze on tea. Wei Wuxian serves tea to Lan Wangji and then he also takes a sip of tea. Lan Wangji holds the cup and he also takes a sip.

Lan Wangji closes his eyes. The tea is very tasty and unique. He has never ever tasted a tea like this. When he arrived Yunmeng that time too he didn't drink this tea. A special tea was prepared for him. But today when Lan Wangji takes the sip of this tea then his mind gets calm and his body relaxes.

"What happened? Isn't it tasty?", Wei Wuxian asks.

"It's very unique and it has a different taste. I like it.", Lan Wangji says.

"Ooh! Actually I like this tea a lot that's why I bring it here with me.", Wei Wuxian says.

Lan Wangji looks into Wei Wuxian's eyes. He smirks.

"I like it. I will come here to have tea with you. You will prepare tea for me. I will also talk to you on this pretext.", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian coughs. He looks at Lan Wangji with shock face.

"No!", Wei Wuxian says.

"What?", Lan Wangji asks.

"I...i mean you don't need to come here only because of me. I will send tea for you in your palace.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Who wants to see your poker face. If you will arrive here continuously then I won't have any privacy. I want to be in my original form.", Wei Wuxian thinks.

"But I want to come here whenever I want. I have rights on everything which is mine. Lan Yanli.", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian's grip tightens on the cup of tea.

"As you wish. You are the emperor and you have more rights on everything.", Wei Wuxian says.

"You are very interesting Lan Yanli.", Lan Wangji says.

"Please don't call me Lan Yanli. I will like it if you will say my original name Jiang Yanli.", Wei Wuxian says.

Lan Wangji smiles. Wei Wuxian glares at him. This man's small smile on his cold face looks very attractive.

Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian finish their tea. They both had normal conversation during that time.

Lan Wangji gives a small box to Wei Wuxian.

"It's for you.", Lan Wangji says.

"What's it?", Wei Wuxian asks and he starts shaking the box. His innocent behavior is so adorable.

Lan Wangji chuckles. In his eyes Jiang Yanli is so adorable. She isn't behaving like a well mannered girl but she is showing all the emotions without any fear.

"It has honey which is prepared by special bees of our garden. This honey works as medicine. You can eat it or apply it on your wounds and other body organs where you feel pain.", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian gets surprise. He never had any knowledge of medicinal honey. He always thought that honey is only used to eat. Lan Wangji is looking at Wei Wuxian's all gestures.

"If you will like it then I will give you more.", Lan Wangji says.

"Sure!", Wei Wuxian replies.

Lan Wangji looks at Wei Wuxian and takes a glance of him. Then he comes out of the quarter.

All the ten concubines of Lan Wangji are outside the quarter and they are trying to know that why Hanguang-Jun has arrived Jiang Yanli's quarter.

Lan Wangji goes away without even looking at them.

"Let's meet our new friend.", Lan Liling says.

"It will be fun.", Fang says.

"Let's see what's special in her that Hanguang-Jun has giving her more priority.", Lan Zi Xuan says.

"Yes. What's the special in her that she is attracting the kind towards herself. Hanguang-Jun never visited to us. Even he never tried to talk to us but here he talked to her, sent her marriage proposal and now going to her quarter. What's special in her?", Fang asks.

"We will see after disrobing her.", Lan Liling says and there's dark aura around her.

All the concubines agree. They all discuss for sometime and then arrives inside the quarter without any information.

When Wei Wuxian knows that all the ten concubines of Lan Wangji are in his courtyard then he goes there to meet them.

"Lady Yanli!", Lan Zi Xuan says and walks closer Wei Wuxian.

Wei Wuxian clenches his fist. He doesn't want to face these people. After seeing their faces he has understood that these concubines are expert in bully.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

All the ten concubines are in Wei Wuxian's courtyard standing in front of him with a devil smirk.

"You all are welcome in my house.", Wei Wuxian says and tries to be polite as he can.

"Lady Yanli! You are really so beautiful that your charm has attracted Hanguang-Jun towards yourself.", Fang says.

Wei Wuxian raises his eyebrows. All the concubines stare at him.

"How can I help you?", Wei Wuxian asks.

"If you really want to help us then stay away from Hanguang-Jun.", Liling says directly without wasting any time.

"Huh! Alright! By the way I am not interested in him. It's him who brought me forcefully here. If you want to keep him then you can. I really don't want to be with him or I am not fond of being his future wife and empress of this Gusu.", Wei Wuxian says.

All the concubines get shock to see after hearing Wei Wuxian's answer. They look at each other.

"But it's not enough. Hanguang-Jun has taken you here because you are beautiful. He will never let you go.", Fang says.

"So what?", Wei Wuxian asks.

"Let's talk in alone.", Zi Xuan says.

Wei Wuxian takes all of them inside his quarter. No guards are there.

"Now what you want to talk about? I have told you that I don't have any interest in Hanguang-Jun.", Wei Wuxian says.

"It's not enough. We have decided something else.", A concubine says.

"What?", Wei Wuxian asks.

Suddenly all the concubines start walking around him. Wei Wuxian looks at them and he tries to understand the next step of these concubines.

Liling grabs the outer robe of Wei Wuxian and she pulls it from his body. A concubine cuts the belt of his waist by her knife. Zi Xuan grabs the pin from his hair and she pulls it. Wei Wuxian's all hair falls on his back.

Four concubines grabs Wei Wuxian's hand and pins them behind his back. Liling comes near Wei Wuxian.

"I am first concubine that's why I have more rights on Hanguang-Jun rather than anyone else.", Liling says.

Fang enters the room and she closes the door again. There's a hot rod in her hand. She comes near Wei Wuxian.

"Surprise!", Fang says.

"What's this Fang?", Zi Xuan asks.

"We will ruin her face so she won't be able to do her ugly face to anyone else and she won't get Hanguang-Jun's attention too.", Fang says.

"Great idea. Let's do it.", Fang says.

"Enough!", Wei Wuxian shouts in anger. His hands are still pinned on his back by four concubines.

Fang comes near Wei Wuxian and she takes the hot rod closer to his face. Wei Wuxian pushes all the four concubines with a force who were holding him.

Everyone gets shock to see Jiang Yanli's strength but they doesn't know that the person is Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian grabs his outer robe from the floor and he wears it.

Suddenly the door opens and a lady comes inside the quarter with guards. There's a hunter in her hand.

"Liling, Fang!!", Mian Mian shouts in anger.

Mian Mian attacks on Fang with the hunter when she sees red hot rod in her hand. The hot rod falls from Fang's hand and he gets hurt on her shoulder from that hunter.

All the concubines get scared. Mian Mian comes near Wei Wuxian and stands in front of him while protecting him. Her back is towards him.

"Lan Qingyang! What are you doing here? Who gave you permission to disturb us?", Zi Xuan asks in anger.

Mian Mian attacks Zi Xuan with her hunter. Zi Xuan shot in pain.

"Who gave you all permission to come here and bully Lady Yanli! Don't you know her position or you have forgotten your position! Huh!", Mian Mian shouts.

Wei Wuxian gets surprised to see that a lady is taking stand for him. Right now he doesn't know her name. All the concubines feel it as insult.

"Only I can bully here whoever I want!", Mian Mian says ans she smirks.

"Why are you taking her side?", Liling asks.

Mian Mian also attacks on Liling with her hunter on her leg due to which Liling gets on her knees due to pain.

"She is special for my brother! That's why it's my duty to protect her. I saw you all heading towards Lady Yanli's quarter that's why I decided to follow toy all with my guards. I already knew it that you all are going to bully Lady Yanli. Today is her first day and you all have started bullying her... Even you tried to disrobe her and burn her face!", Mian Mian says in disbelief.

Mian Mian looks at Wei Wuxian's clothes and hair which are mess now.

"Guards! Take all of them in front of Hanguang-Jun's palace!", Mian Mian says.

All the guards takes those ten concubines out of the quarter. Wei Wuxian turns to Mian Mian.

"Thank you.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Whenever they will bully you then tell me. Now take rest. I will see them.", Mian Mian says.

Wei Wuxian nods his head. He takes a relief breath. If those ladies would disrobe him then they would definitely find that it's not female.

Mian Mian got out of the quarter. She tells guard to take care of Lady Yanli. When the maids know that Lady Yanli was bullied then they get more conscious. They all take care of Wei Wuxian.

All the concubines are sitting on their knees in front of Lan Wangji's palace. When Lan Wangji heard the news then he comes out to see them.

"Mian Mian! What's this?", Lan Wangji asks.

"Brother! They all misbehaved with Lady Yanli. That's why I have given them punishment to sit on their knees for two hours on front of your palace.", Mian Mian says.

"What they did?", Lan Wangji asks.

"When you came out of Lady Yanli's room then they all went inside. I got doubt on them so I followed them. When I entered inside then I saw that Lady Yanli's clothes were....*sigh*... Her hair were open and Fang tried to burn her face with hot rod.", Mian Mian says.

Lan Wangji's fist tightens up. He glares at all the concubines.

"Hanguang-Jun! It's not our fault. She is lying.", Liling says and she tries to defend herself.

"I know your intentions.", Lan Wangji says.

Lan Wangji looks at the guards.

"Make all of them sit on their knees till morning. If they get up then increase their punishment. They will sit like this till morning. It is already night now... Let them stay like this in the cold all night. Just keep an eye on them so that they don't go anywhere," Lan Wangji says.

Mian Mian gets a satisfied smile on her face.

"Mian Mian you can make any wish if you want.", Lan Wangji says.

"I will tell you later.", Mian Mian replies.

___________
*********

Next day all the family members gather in the hall for family banquet. Only family members are present there. Lan Qingheng-Jun's all three concubines and his queen are also there.

Lan Wangji's none of those ten concubines are allowed to join this family banquet because it's specially prepared for Jiang Yanli. He doesn't want them to ruin this moment.

Lan Wangji is sitting on his special seat. There's a special seat for Jiang Yanli which is near him. Lan Lingjiao is gritting her teeth to see Jiang Yanli too close to Lan Wangji.

Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji look at each other.

"Are you alright?", Lan Wangji asks. Only Wei Wuxian can hear it.

"Yes.", Wei Wuxian replies.

"Mian Mian told me that my other concubines mistreated you. They all got their punishment. They won't bother you again.", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian gets surprise. He wants to know that which kind of punishment Hanguang-Jun can give them.

After that the banquet starts. Lan Wangji introduces his family members to Wei Wuxian. Different types of dishes are placed in front of Wei Wuxian.

After that everyone ate the food. Lan Su She's eyes are on Wei Wuxian. He is looking at him and eating food. He is lost in Jiang Yanli's beautiful face.

Everyone gives their speech and some shows their talent. Many females enter the hall and they all dance to entertain them.

Wei Wuxian looks at Lan Wangji but Lan Wangji's focus isn't on the female who are dancing there. His focus is on Wei Wuxian.

"Why are you looking at me?", Wei Wuxian asks.

"There's something in you which always attracts me towards you. Yanli, you are different from everyone.", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian's face turns red. He rolls his eyes. Lan Wangji chuckles.

"Concentrate on their dance not on me. I will never allow you to come closer to me.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Let's see!", Lan Wangji replies as a challenge with a smirk.

In the end of banquet everyone gives gifts to Wei Wuxian. It's first time when Lan Wangji held the banquet for his concubine. So, everyone understands that Jiang Yanli is really very special for Hanguang-Jun.

Everyone comes out of the banquet hall. Xiao Yu is waiting outside for Wei Wuxian. When she sees that Lan Xichen is coming out in his wheelchair then she lowers her head.

Lan Xichen looks at Xiao Yu and she smiles. There's blush on Xiao Yu's face. Lan Xichen leaves for his palace with his guards.

Xiao Yu sees Wei Wuxian and she goes to him. They both along with other maids and guards return to their quarter.

"What happened to Hanguang-Jun's elder brother's legs?", Xiao Yu asks.

"I don't know... I will ask him.", Wei Wuxian says.

"I have knowledge how to cure old injuries. My grandmother taught me. If I can help him then it will be my pleasure.", Xiao Yu says.

Wei Wuxian smiles. He nods his head in agreement.

_____________
************

Now a week has passed. In these days none of Lan Wangji's concubine misbehave with Wei Wuxian.

Wei Wuxian learn the history of Lan family. He learned some rules. It's better to know your enemy very well.

If someday Lan Wangji will know that Jiang Yanli has married to Jin Zixuan then surely he will fight a war against Yunmeng. That's why Wei Wuxian is doing all the preparation that how can he save his kingdom. He is learning all the war techniques of Lan Wangji and his war general. As a war general he needs to know every military activity of Gusu too.

Today Wei Wuxian wants to see how big Lan Wangji's army is and how many skills he has. He also wants to visit the arms depot so that he can know how many types of dangerous weapons Lan Wangji has.

Wei Wuxian walks towards the imperial army quarters. Other troops live in different places of Gusu. Imperial army is best way for Wei Wuxian to know the strategy of army. It's not too far from the palace.

Wei Wuxian along with his few guards head towards the imperial army quarters. He is excited.

Wei Wuxian stops in front of the quarters. There's a huge grass field where the army men train the beginners. The military base is also there in nearby place.

It's morning time that's why all the imperial army are on the grass field and they are sword practicing. Many are fighting while riding horses. Many are running to strengthen their speed. Everyone is busy.

Wei Wuxian's goes inside the field. Many people stop and they look at Wei Wuxian. An imperial army man comes near Wei Wuxian and he greets her.

"Lady Yanli! What are you doing here?", The army man asks.

"Actually I came here to check you all. I am interested in all this. I want to know your practices, strategies and military weapons.", Wei Wuxian says with a smile.

Everyone gets shocked. First of all a lady has entered in the imperial army site and she is saying that she is interested in all this. It's the first time when a lady has arrived the military mear in excitement. Maids do work there but they never show any interest.

"What are you talking?", The army man asks.

"Lady Yanli!", Zhu Yan says.

Wei Wuxian turns behind. Zhu Yan greets him.

"How can I help you?", Zhu Yan asks.

"She wants to know about our military activities and our weapons.", The army man says.

"It's okay! You can go to your work. I will show her.", Zhu Yan replies.

"But she is female. She is a lady!! How can you agree?", The army man says. This thing hits his ego. He can never let any lady to come on army.

"Know your place. Now go!", Zhu Yan scolds the army man.

The army man leaves from there in anger. Zhu Yan looks at Wei Wuxian and he smiles. After that he starts showing him the practice area. The body of these people are tough and strong.

Wei Wuxian discuss many things with Zhu Yan. Zhu Yan is shocked because it's Jiang Yanli in his eyes and he gets surprised to know that Jiang Yanli has so much idea about the army.

"I want to see the arms depots. Can I?", Wei Wuxian asks.

"Really?", Zhu Yan asks.

"Yes! Please!", Wei Wuxian says.

Jiang Yanli is Lan Wangji's favorite concubine and she is very special for him. Zhu Yan doesn't want to disappoint her.

"Okay. You can.", Zhu Yan replies.

"It's good! If army general Zhu Yan wants to show me everything then it's beneficial for me. I shouldn't let this opportunity go.", Wei Wuxian says.

Wei Wuxian and Zhu Yan come to army depot. Wei Wuxian gets surprised to see the area of army depot. He couldn't believe in his eyes.

All the guards and army are looking at Wei Wuxian. Army general Zhu Yan is with him that's why everyone is silent.

"That's why Hanguang-Jun win all the wars because he has a strong army and a hug army depot. Ours is not even half in front of Hanguang-Jun's army depot.", Wei Wuxian thinks.

"Lady Yanli!", Zhu Yan says.

Wei Wuxian comes out of his senses. He shakes his head and again looks at the army depot. He takes a step but suddenly Lan Su She arrives in front of him. The army man has sent him because Jiang Yanli was pricking in his eyes. He could not tolerate any lady coming into the army and showing her interest.

"Lady Yanli! It's a surprise for me to see you here!", Lan Su She says.

"Why can't I come here?", Wei Wuxian asks directly.

"It's not like that. You are a female... You should keep attention on your personal work. It's a very harmful place. You can get hurt.", Lan Su She says.

"But I am interested to know about the army.", Wei Wuxian says.

"What? Have you ever held a sword? Oh you were a princess, have you ever held a sword? You do not even know how to use a sword... are you wasting your time uselessly?", Lan Su She says while taunting.

Wei Wuxian's blood boils. He is a war general but Lan Su She is insulting him. Wei Wuxian looks at Zhu Yan.

"I want a sword.", Wei Wuxian says.

Zhu Yan gets startled. He hesitates.

"Please give a light weight sword to Lady Yanli. She won't be able to hold the heavy sword.", Lan Su She says.

"Zhu Yan!", Wei Wuxian says.

Zhu Yan gets confuse whom to look at.

"I want the heaviest sword. I want to have a sword fight with Lan Su She.", Wei Wuxian says.

Lan Su She takes it lightly and he starts laughing. Then he picks a sword for himself. Zhu Yan puts many swords in front of Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian chooses the heaviest sword and he holds it in one hand without any discomfort.

Lan Su She's eyes widen up. He has tried to hold that heavy sword once but he couldn't even hold it with both of his hands but Jiang Yanli has hold that sword from only her one hand without any difficulty.

Zhu Yan gets surprised to see Wei Wuxian's strength. He blinks his eyes multiple times.

Wei Wuxian stands in front of Lan Su She with his heavy sword. Lan Su She stands with his broad chest. Then they both start their sword fight.

In just two attacks Wei Wuxian throws Lan Su She on floor and he points the tip of his heavy sword on Lan Su She's neck. Zhu Yan smiles and he claps.

Lan Su She is breathing heavily. It's a great insult for him in front of all the army. He feels ashamed and useless. It's like someone has taken his respect.

"Lady Yanli! You are so strong.", Zhu Yan says.

Wei Wuxian puts the sword on its place. He turns to Zhu Yan.

"Now I want to see army depot.", Wei Wuxian says.

Zhu Yan nods his head in yes and he shows the army depot to Wei Wuxian.

Lan Su She is still falling on the floor. He grits his teeth and glares at Wei Wuxian who has gone far with Zhu Yan.

"Jiang Yanli! I will not spare you. I will take the revenge of my insult.", Lan Su She thinks.

An army man comes near Lan Su She.

"Do you need our any help? We will send you to the palace if you are feeling pain anywhere!", The army mans says.

"Shut up!", Lan Su She shouts in anger.

Through the gossip the news starts spreading in palace that Jiang Yanli defeat Lan Su She in sword fight in only two moves. Lan Su She is unaware of this gossiping.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Wei Wuxian returns to his quarter. He is unaware of all the gossiping. He is walking carefree and his guards are behind him.

"Yanli!", Lan Lingjiao says.

Wei Wuxian stops and turns to Lingjio. Lan Lingjiao is in anger. She comes Wei Wuxian's face to face.

"Do you know that you have done a crime? A crime which you shouldn't have done.", Lan Lingjiao says.

"Crime! Which crime?", Wei Wuxian asks and he looks around. Then he looks under his feet to check if he has killed any insect or small animal.

"You injured Lan Su She! He is a prince and Hanguang-Jun's brother! It's a heinous crime to attack on any royal member. Now you will get the punishment and you will be out in dungeon. I will inform Hanguang-Jun about everything which you did to Lan Su She.", Lan Lingjiao says.

Lan Lingjiao has a perfect chance to remove Jiang Yanli from her way by proving her guilty. It's a crime to attack on royal family member and Lan Liling will take it's advantage.

Wei Wuxian raises his eyebrows. Then he laughs. Lan Lingjiao gets startled when she doesn't see any fear in Wei Wuxian's face.

"Stop laughing. I am not joking.", Lan Lingjiao says in anger.

Wei Wuxian doesn't respond and he goes inside his quarter. It's a huge humiliation and disrespect for Lan Lingjiao because someone ignored her. She is daughter of minister prime and someone ignores her, she will not tolerate it.

"Yanli!", Lan Lingjiao shouts.

Wei Wuxian doesn't come out of the quarter. He is chilling inside his room. He closes the door and comes in his original form. He sits on the bed.

"It's a headache to behave like a lady all the time. Still the half day is left and I am getting bored. Let's do something.", Wei Wuxian thinks and he smiles.

Wei Wuxian gets an idea. He thinks to visit the palace. But Lan Lingjiao is still outside the quarter and she is shouting. Wei Wuxian rubs his ear. He chose the backside area and comes out of the quarter. He has the only key of back door.

Wei Wuxian goes far from his quarter. He the guards and maids aren't with him. He reaches the main palace and walks inside it. It's first time when he is getting chance to observe all the minor details of the main palace.

Suddenly someone grabs Wei Wuxian's hand and pulls him to the corner. Wei Wuxian gets shocked. He tries to shout but the other person puts his hand on his mouth. When Wei Wuxian sees the face then he narrows his eyebrows. The other person removes his hand from Wei Wuxian's mouth.

"Sizhui!", Wei Wuxian says shockingly.

"Who are you?", Lan Sizhui asks.

"What are you asking? I am Jiang Yanli.", Wei Wuxian answers immediately.

"No! You are not.", Lan Sizhui says.

"I am Jiang Yanli. Look at my face. Have you hurt your head somewhere?", Wei Wuxian asks and he put his hand on Lan Sizhui's head.

Lan Sizhui grabs Wei Wuxian's hand and then he takes him with himself. They both enter a room.

"Who are you? I know you are not Jiang Yanli. Jin Ling informed me that princess Yanli has married to emperor Jin Zixuan. Then who are you? How do you look a like princess Yanli? Are you her twin sister? But I never heard of her twin sister.", Lan Sizhui says.

Wei Wuxian widens his eyes. He didn't think that someone in Lan family would get the news. Wei Wuxian massages his head.

"Jin Ling! How do you know him?", Wei Wuxian asks.

"H...he is..", Lan Sizhui says but now he feels hesitation.

"What? His do you know Jin Ling? He is younger brother of Jin Zixuan! Are you his friend? Everyone knows that Laling kingdom and Gusu kingdom are enemies and Hanguang-Jun hates that kingdom. Then how can you contact with Jin Ling.", Wei Wuxian asks and he takes a step closer to Lan Sizhui.

Wei Wuxian wipes sweat from Lan Sizhui's forehead with his thumb.

"Why are you panicking? You should have think before opening your mouth. If I will tell Hanguang-Jun that you are in contact with Jin Ling then he will put you inside the prison just like your sibling is in prison.", Wei Wuxian says to threaten Lan Sizhui.

Lan Sizhui is in regret after taking Jin Ling's name. His brother will not show mercy on him after knowing the truth.

"Okay... I will tell you but you have to tell me too that who you are. We both will not inform anyone and this secret will within us.", Lan Sizhui says.

"You want to know? But what's the guarantee that I should trust you?", Wei Wuxian asks.

"Alright! I promise I will tell anyone about the truth. Actually Jin Ling is my f.. freind. We both send each other messages. I never want any fight in between both the kingdoms because I want to save my best friend and his family. Now princess Yanli is also there. So, don't you think it's both of our duty to hide this secret and need to put everyone in lie for sometime!”, Lan Sizhui says.

Wei Wuxian looks at Lan Sizhui with doubtful look.

"I promise. Now please will you tell me about yourself. I am getting impatient. How can you look alike princess Yanli? We both can be friends.", Lan Sizhui says and takes a pause.

"I love Jin Ling. We know each other for many years. We were friends earlier. But later the tension in between both kingdoms increased. Then we both used to send each other messages. Our friendship turned into love. We always send messages to each other and tell our feelings to each other. I never want my brother to attack on Lanling. For Jin Ling's safety I hide this truth from everyone. But after knowing that you are here in place of princess Yanli I am excited to know about your identity. I promise I will be loyal to you and we both will work together. I just want a company who isn't anti Jins. So, we both can work together.", Lan Sizhui says.

"Interesting love story.", Wei Wuxian says with a smirk.

After a long time of request Lan Sizhui gets successful in building trust in Wei Wuxian's mind. Wei Wuxian nods his head.

Wei Wuxian takes Lan Sizhui towards his quarter. This time Lan Lingjiao isn't there. She has returned to the palace.

Wei Wuxian comes into his room after telling Lan Sizhui to wait outside the quarter. He can't let him come inside the quarter casually otherwise people will get unnecessary doubt on them and they can be in trouble.

Wei Wuxian goes to his room. He has the clothes of a servant. He doesn't have his own clothes. Whatever clothes he has are made for a female. Wei Wuxian comes in his original form and he wears the dress of servent.

Secretly Wei Wuxian comes out of his room and he locks the door. He secretly comes out of the quarter and appears in front of Lan Sizhui.

"You!", Lan Sizhui says. He has seen this person in Yunmeng when the person arrived in the guest palace with gifts which were sent by Jiang Fengmian.

Wei Wuxian takes Lan Sizhui into the courtyard in a quiet place. They both sit on chair.

"Yes. It's me. Wei Wuxian. Army general Yiling Patriarch. I am compelled to take Shijie's form and stay here.", Wei Wuxian says.

Lan Sizhui gets up from the chair.

"A..army general Yiling Patriarch! But why? You are a man? How can you change your gender?", Lan Sizhui asks surprisingly.

"Jiang Royal family has done a lot of favors for me which is why I had to come here. I have a specialty which I got from my Grandma. I can change my body figure. I can also change my face and height.", Wei Wuxian says.

Wei Wuxian smiles and then he changes his height and face according to Jiang Yanli, Lan Sizhui gets surprise. It's the first time he is seeing a miracle. Wei Wuxian comes in its original form. He doesn't want to scare this kid  more.

"Now sit here.", Wei Wuxian says and points on the chair.

Lan Sizhui sits on chair. Wei Wuxian tells him everything that why only he was eligible to come here. Lan Sizhui just nods his head. He is curiously listening to everything.

"Now I am very hungry. Let's eat something.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Yes.", Lan Sizhui replies.

Lan Sizhui and Wei Wuxian come inside the hall. Wei Wuxian comes into the kitchen then Xiao Yu looks at him.

"Who are you? Master Wei?", Xiao Yu says shockingly.

Wei Wuxian turns towards Xiao Yu and tells her to stay silent.

"What are you doing here?", Xiao Yu asks.

Many maids know Wei Wuxian in Yunmeng but those who have arrived here with him doesn't know him a lot except Xiao Yu. For other maids he is a normal person but Xiao Yu recognize him.

"Shh!", Wei Wuxian signals Xiao Yu to stay silent.

"I have arrived here fir a mission. Now keep quiet or otherwise I have to send you back. Don't tell anyone that I am Wei Wuxian.", Wei Wuxian says.

Xiao Yu nods her head like an obedient lady.

"Help me to prepare food. I am so hungry. Lan Sizhui is also here. Prepare for him too.", Wei Wuxian says.

Xiao Yu helps Wei Wuxian to prepare food. They both take half an hour and then set the food in dining area. After that Xiao Yu leaves.

Wei Wuxian and Lan Sizhui have lunch together. Then they both come out from the quarter and walks towards the nearby area.

Lan Sizhui shows all his favorite places to Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian is feeling more confident in his real form. Finally he got chance to roam around I his real form which he missed a lot.

Lan Wangji comes out of the meeting hall with ministers. He stops and talks with them. After that he walks away with his guards.

Wei Wuxian and Lan Sizhui have no idea that Lan Wangji is walking towards the same way. And coincidentally Lan Wangji sees both of them talking, smiling and walking with each other.

Lan Wangji knows the face but he doesn't know his name. Wei Wuxian gets afraid to see the emperor. He gulps. He is thinking that the emperor will caught him red handed.

After staring Wei Wuxian from head to toe he looks at Lan Sizhui.

"Brother actually...he is...he is from Yunmeng.", Lan Sizhui says.

"I know. He is the servant who brought gifts for us which were sent by the emperor if Yunmeng.", Lan Wangji says.

"Servant!", Wei Wuxian says and points finger towards himself.

"That day did he think I am servant?", Wei Wuxian thinks. He looks at his clothes. This time he is in a servant's attire.

Lan Wangji looks at Wei Wuxian's face and he looks into his eyes. Same charm, same beauty, same aura. Something is similar in Wei Wuxian and Jiang Yanli.

"Am I missing something or any clue? But he is just a servant of Yunmeng.", Lan Wangji thinks.

"Your name?", Lan Wangji asks.

"A-Xian!", Wei Wuxian says and he smiles.

Lan Wangji's grip tightens on the scroll which he is holding.

"Brother! Can we go now?", Lan Sizhui asks.

"Where? What are you doing with A-Xian?", Lan Wangji asks. He is feeling something heavy in his heart after seeing the cute boy with his little brother.

Wei Wuxian is looking freaking cute in servant dress because his muscular body isn't showing from the dress and his baby like face is making him cuter.

"I was telling him some work.", Lan Sizhui lies.

"Which work?", Lan Wangji asks. He wants to investigate what's going on between A-Xian and Lan Sizhui.

"I told him to prepare new clothes for all the servants. The color of this cloth is very dull and it's fading. I have taken permission from shijie.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Shijie?", Lan Wangji asks.

"I... I mean Lady Yanli! She is like my elder sister that's why I call her shijie.", Wei Wuxian says. His heart beat is fast.

Wei Wuxian is feeling suffocation and he is thinking that his heart will explode due to Lan Wangji's gaze.

"Brother. Now let us go. Please.", Lan Sizhui says. He can'tet his brother to investigate more otherwise he along with Wei Wuxian will get in trouble.

Wei Wuxian is here but Jiang Yanli isn't at quarter.

"Sizhui! You can go. You should take rest.", Lan Wangji says.

"Brother. I am not tired.", Lan Sizhui says.

"By the way you don't need to do this work. Other workers are here. They will do it. You can go. I am going towards Yanli's quarter. A-Xian should also return to his quarter.", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian gets nervous. He looks at Lan Sizhui to save himself. Lan Sizhui smiles awkwardly because he can't argue with his brother.

Anyhow Lan Wangji gets successful in sending Lan Sizhui away from Wei Wuxian. Now that both are alone.

"Whom you are waiting for? Let's go.", Lan Wangji says in his rough voice.

Wei Wuxian lowers his head. Lan Wangji walks and Wei Wuxian walks behind him. He is in servant attire that's why he has to behave like this.

"How do you know Sizhui? From when you both have this much closeness?", Lan Wangji asks.

Wei Wuxian is confused that why Lan Wangji is asking this question but he can't figure out that something is burning.

"Why are you silent?", Lan Wangji asks and now Wei Wuxian can feel the anger in his voice.

"From today.", Wei Wuxian replies.

Lan Wangji doesn't say anything. Wei Wuxian is walking silently behind him. He has to find any excuse to escape.

"Hanguang-Jun!", Wei Wuxian says in his slow and calm voice.

Lan Wangji stops and turns towards Wei Wuxian.

"I have some other work. You can go. It's something personal. Please let me go.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Which work?", Lan Wangji asks.

"I said it's personal. Please understand.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Okay.", Lan Wangji replies.

Wei Wuxian bows to Lan Wangji and he immediately runs away from there. He is walking fast. Lan Wangji looks at him for sometime. His walking style is the same as his eleventh concubine Jiang Yanli. She also walks like a man sometimes.

Lan Wangji shakes his head and then walks towards Jiang Yanli's quarter.

Wei Wuxian immediately comes into the quarter while running. He enters from the backside area. He secretly jumps inside his room. He takes a relief breath but he doesn't have time to rest.

Wei Wuxian immediately changes his clothes and body shape. She applies some makeup like lipstick. He wears some jewellery. Then he comes out from the backside area and enters the quarter from front side so no one will doubt on him.

At the same time Lan Wangji also arrives there and he sees Wei Wuxian going inside the quarter. Wei Wuxian tries to stay calm.

"Yanli.", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian turns back. He knows the presence of Lan Wangji there. He was already prepared.

"Hanguang-Jun! Good evening. Come inside.", Wei Wuxian says in very polite manner.

Lan Wangji enters the quarter with Wei Wuxian. He again looks at the door as he is waiting due someone. Wei Wuxian also notices it.

After sometime Wei Wuxian prepares tea for Lan Wangji and himself. Lan Wangji is looking at Wei Wuxian's all small gestures.

"No! I can't think about anyone except Yanli. She is my first love. No... I have to create closeness in between us so I will not be able to think about anyone else.", Lan Wangji thinks.

Wei Wuxian goes a cup of tea to Lan Wangji. Lan Wangji takes the sip.

"Hanguang-Jun! I'm sorry but can I ask something?", Wei Wuxian asks.

"Yes you can.", Lan Wangji replies.

"It's personal but necessary. What happened to your elder brother's legs? I have always seen him on the wheelchair.", Wei Wuxian asks.

Wei Wuxian looks at Lan Wangji's facial expressions. Lan Wangji is calm.

"Sure.", Lan Wangji replies.

Wei Wuxian gets surprise. Lan Wangji tells that how his brother falls. He explained everything to him.

"Actually I know someone who has knowledge of medicine. She is also physiotherapist.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Who?", Lan Wangji asks.

"Xiao Yu.", Wei Wuxian says.

Xiao Yu comes out of a room and she appears in front of Wei Wuxian. She sees the emperor than she greets him. Lan Wangji nods his head.

"She is Xiao Yu. She has told me that she is experienced in physiotherapy and in herbal medicine. You can give her try.", Wei Wuxian says.

"She is a normal maid. How she can cure my brother's legs.", Lan Wangji asks.

"Excuse me Hanguang-Jun. I am sorry to talk in between. I want to give a try. I have cured many people's injuries. Please give me a chance.", Xiao Yu says.

"You can trust her. Everyone deserves a chance. It will be good if your elder brother will get well. He will start walking.", Wei Wuxian says.

Lan Wangji thinks for sometime. Then he agrees.

For sometime there's silence in the room. Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji finish the tea. Lan Wangji looks at the door but still A-Xian doesn't return.

Lan Wangji is in Wei Wuxian's quarter. He is looking at him and then looking at the door. Wei Wuxian notices it.

"Are you waiting for someone?", Wei Wuxian asks.

"No!", Lan Wangji lies.

"I can feel the same presence! But he is not here.", Lan Wangji thinks.

Lan Wangji removes the thought and takes another sip of tea. Wei Wuxian eats the cake and wipes his lips. He finishes his tea.

"Now I am going.", Lan Wangji says.

"You can go.", Wei Wuxian replies.

Lan Wangji comes out of the quarter. He looks at the main entrance but A-Xian isn't there. He doesn't want but still his mind is going to him.

Wei Wuxian takes a sigh of relief. He puts his hand on his chest.

"He has no doubt on me.", Wei Wuxian thinks.

_______________
**************

Its midnight. Everyone is sleeping except the night guards. There is peace everywhere.

Wei Wuxian is sleeping in his room. He is in his original form. The room is filled with darkness. The windows of the room open and a person comes inside the room. He slowly closes the window. The room again fills with the darkness when the other person closes the window.

The person's leg rests on a table. He stops at his place and breathes slowly. Due to noise Wei Wuxian suddenly opens his eyes. He looks around bt still he is lying on the bed.

Wei Wuxian closes his eyes and concentrates. He comes into Jiang Yanli's form. He again hears small footsteps sounds.

Wei Wuxian knows small moment in a silence. He is army general and he knows that how the enemy attacks after camouflage. He comes down from his bed and he wears outer robe. He takes out a sword from his robes which he always puts with himself for emergency situation.

The person comes near the bed and he checks the bed but it's empty. Wei Wuxian pushes the person on the bed and makes a stab on his waist.

"Aaah!", The person make sound but soon he covers his mouth with his hand.

The unknown person flips Wei Wuxian on bed and comes over him. He starts sniffing his neck and tries to kiss him. With one hand he closes Wei Wuxian's mouth to stop his voice. Wei Wuxian clenches his teeth and he harshly pushes the unknown person.

"Guards!", Wei Wuxian shouts without any delay.

All the guards get alert and they run towards Wei Wuxian's room. Two guards open the door. The person gets panic and he runs away from the same window.

Wei Wuxian sits on the bed. His hands are trembling. Today an unknown person tries to take his advantage.

"What happened?", A guard asks.

Xiao Yu runs inside the room and she burns the candles. She sees Wei Wuxian's condition and comes near him. She sees knife with blood on Wei Wuxian's hand.

"What happened? Why did you shout?", Xiao Yu asks.

"Someone tried to take my advantage. I attacked him for my self protection.", Wei Wuxian answers.

All the guards gets alert and they all searches the culprits in the quarter, courtyard and nearby area. But there is no sign of him.

Wei Wuxian also comes out of the quarter and he sees some blood stains. After a distance the blood stains vanishes. Now no one knows where the culprit hides himself.

Wei Wuxian remembers that how the unknown person tries to take his advantage. He can't even imagine his sister in place of himself in this mansion. She would definitely be in trouble.

"We will find him.", Wei Wuxian says.

"How?", Xiao Yu asks.

Wei Wuxian looks at the bloody knife. He is sure that tomorrow at any cost he will find out the culprit.

For whole night the guards doesn't sleep and they provide the toughest security to Wei Wuxian.

_____________
************

Wei Wuxian wakes up early in the morning and after bath he doesn't have breakfast. He furiously goes towards Lan Wangji's palace with all the maids and guards.

Wei Wuxian is so serious and he is walking like a man in Jiang Yanli's form. Everyone is giving space to him. Anyone can say a strong personality lady is walking towards Hanguang-Jun's palace.

A servant informs Lan Wangji that Wei Wuxian has arrived there with all of the maids and servants. He comes out and sees that Wei Wuxian along with his maids, servants and guards are standing there.

"Good morning Hanguang-Jun.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Good morning. Is everything alright? Why are you all here this sudden in this morning?", Lan Wangji asks.

"Hanguang-Jun. I feel very embarrassed to say this but I will not keep quiet. At midnight someone came into my room. He tried to take my advantage in the darkness.", Wei Wuxian says.

Lan Wangji squeezes his eyebrows and comes near Wei Wuxian.

"What? Who? Did you see his face?", Lan Wangji asks.

"No. Due to darkness I couldn't see his face. He secretly came into my room and tried to take my advantage. I stabbed him and shouts that's why he ran away.", Wei Wuxian says in a serious tone.

Lan Wangji stares at the guards.

"What were you all doing? Who was on night patrolling duty at night?", Lan Wangji shouts.

"Ha... Hanguang-Jun... We were doing our duty. We don't know from where he went inside the quarter. When we followed him then he disappeared.", The guard says. He is trembling dur to Lan Wangji's anger.

"Tell everyone to come in assembly hall. All the guards, ministers, family members. We will discuss there.", Lan Wangji says.

Lan Wangji comes closer to Wei Wuxian and holds his hand.

"I will find him.", Lan Wangji says.

"I have stabbed him maybe on his waist. He has a fresh wound on his body. Here's the knife. I haven't cleaned the blood.", Wei Wuxian says.

Lan Wangji takes the knife and puts it inside his robe. He headed towards the assembly hall with Wei Wuxian. No one has done breakfast. First they want to know the culprit then they will have breakfast with peace.

Within twenty minutes everyone arrives in the assembly hall. A corner is covered with white cloth. Its semi transparent. Lan Sizhui is disrobing all the guards and he is checking wounds on their body. He has checked many guards but there's no wound on their body.

On other side Zhu Yan is checking the ministers. All the ministers are quiet because they know that angry Hanguang-Jun is so scary. The let Zhu Yan to check themselves behind the white curtain.

Lan Qingheng-Jun and Lan Yi arrived there. Lan Qingheng-Jun's all three concubines arrive there too.

"Wangji! What's happening here?", Lan Yi asks.

"Mother! It's a very big matter. Someone tried to do something heinous. Someone went into Yanli's quarter at night but Yanli defended herself at the right time.", Lan Wangji says.

"What happened! Tell me in detail.", Lan Qingheng-Jun asks.

"Yanli will tell you.", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian stands in the hall and he explained everything that how a person entered his room at midnight and tried to take his advantage.

Lan Liling, Lan Zi Xuan, Fang, and other seven concubines get satisfied when they know that someone tried to misbehave with Jiang Yanli.

"Yanli! Can you explain in detail? What that person did to you... I mean where did he touched you?", Fang asks shamelessly.

"Before he could do anything I stabbed him at correct time and that person ran away.", Wei Wuxian says in anger. He knows the intentions of these concubines.

"Yanli! Maybe you give some hint to that person that's why he came in your quarter to meet you.", A concubine says ans she smirks.

"My character is not like that what you are telling. My parents have given me good manners. I never tried to give hint to anyone. I don't have interest in any of your royal family member or any minister and worker.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Be in your limit otherwise I will send you all in the black palace.", Lan Wangji says.

All the concubines get afraid after hearing about the black palace. They all get silent and keep their mouth shut. If they will speak anything word then they have to live in the black palace for a month.

The time passed but no one could find out the person. Wei Wuxian gets frustrated and he stares at Lan Wangji.

"Hanguang-Jun! Why is everyone working slow?", Wei Wuxian asks.

"The culprit will be here.", Lan Wangji says.

"When?", Wei Wuxian asks in anger.

Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian looks at the people who are coming out of the curtains.

"Where is Su She? Why isn't he here?", Mian Mian asks.

"Are you doubting on him? He knows very well that Yanli is Hanguang-Jun's favorite concubine. Why would he try to misbehave with her?", Lan Lingjiao says.

"Hanguang-Jun! I want Lan Su She now! Bring him here at any cost.", Wei Wuxian says.

Lan Wangji obediently nods his head and he sends a servant to take Lan Su She into the hall. He waits there for him.

After a moment Lan Su She arrives in the hall. He is walking slowly and a guard is beside him. He sees that Hanguang-Jun has taken the strict action against the culprit. Everyone is in the line to be checked by Lan Sizhui and Zhu Yan.

"Su She! Now it's your turn.", Lan Wangji says.

"Hanguang-Jun! Are you doubting on me? I am your brother!", Lan Su She says by forcing his words.

"You have to do it. Everyone is doing it. You have to do it too.", Lan Wangji says.

"No!", Lan Su She says and he puts his hand on waist.

"Guards!", Lan Wangji says in loud voice.

All the guards grab Lan Su She and forcefully takes him behind the curtain. Everyone is looking at him curiously. Lan Su She is shouting.

"Wangji! He did not do it. You have misunderstood him. My son is so innocent.", Lan Su She's mother says.

Lan Su She is half naked in front of Lan Sizhui. He is trying to hide something on his body with his hands. Lan Sizhui sees the wound and a bandage is wrapped around his waist.

"Sizhui! Keep your mouth shut otherwise...", Lan Su She mumbles.

"It was you!", Lan Sizhui says shockingly.

"No...", Lan Su She says in low voice.

Lan Sizhui opens the curtains. Everyone sees Lan Su She. Right now it's a great humiliation for Lan Su She because he is half naked in front of everyone and the wound of his waist is visible to everyone.

Lan Wangji's eyes are burning in anger. Wei Wuxian doesn't wait for anyone and he goes towards Lan Su She in fierce.

"It's you!", Wei Wuxian says in disbelief.

"Su She! How did you get this round shape on your waist? Did someone stab you?", Lan Wangji asks.

"N..no! No one stabbed me. It's a very old wound.", Lan Su She says and he gets panick.

"Take the healer inside.", Lan Wangji says.

Lan Su She's forehead turns sweaty. A healer comes in the hall. He is an old man. He goes to Lan Su She. Guards grabs Lan Su She's hand due to which the healer easily gets chance to see his wound. He removes the bandage and at one glance the healer recognizes the wound is new or old.

The healer bows to Lan Wangji and he chose to tell the truth.

"Your highness. The wound is fresh. Someone has stabbed him with shape knife.", The healer says.

Lan Wangji gives the knife to the healer. The healer sees the knife.

"Yes! He has been attacked with this type of weapon.", The healer says.

Lan Wangji grabs the pouch of gold coins and he gives it in the healer's hand. The healer gets surprised to see the price. He bows many times in front of emperor and happily leaves the hall.

Lan Su She is looking down. No one bothered to cover him. He is still standing half naked in front of which everyone is a great humiliation for him. He doesn't dare look into anyone's eyes.

"Why did you enter in my quarter? Why?", Wei Wuxian shouts.

Lan Su She glares at Wei Wuxian.

"You insulted me in front of everyone, that's why I wanted to insult you. I came to take advantage of you. Yesterday you insulted me in front of the army, I just wanted revenge for that.", Lan Su She says.

"Which insult?", Lan Wangji groaned.

Zhu Yan stands in the hall. He saw everything that's why he is ready to explain everything.

"Do you know?", Lan Wangji asks.

Zhu Yan nods his head and he explains everything to everyone. The news was already spread in the palace through gossip but it didn't came in Lan Wangji's ears. It's first time when he listen all the things.

"Su She! I don't want to see your face. Guard! Take him inside the prison for lifetime.", Lan Wangji says.

All the guards listen to Lan Wangji's command. In that condition Lan Su She gets handcuffed. He is taken towards the prison. Lan Su She's mother cries. It's unbelievable for her that her son can try to commit a heinous act. She feels ashamed and leaves the hall.

Now everything gets quiet. Wei Wuxian is satisfied that Lan Su She got his punishment and more importantly Lan Su She told the truth.

"Thank you Hanguang-Jun!", Wei Wuxian says.

"From now onwards if anyone will bother you then must tell me. Thank you won't work. I want something from you.", Lan Wangji says.

"What?", Wei Wuxian asks with doubt.

"It's secret.", Lan Wangji says with his cold straight face.

Wei Wuxian smiles. Lan Wangji's heart skips a beat to see the beautiful smile and shining eyes. It's forcing him to remember about A-Xian.

All the ministers, workers and guards take a relief breath. They are all out of danger.

___________
**********

It's afternoon time. Lan Sizhui and Zhu Yan are going inside the prison. They both go inside Lan Bingyi's chamber.

Lan Bingyi's condition is very bad. He is still tied up with chains. His hairs are messed and there are small cut marks on his face. Blood is oozing from his legs and other body parts.

Zhu Yan and Lan Sizhui's heart clenches to see Lan Bingyi in this condition. Lan Sizhui is younger brother of Lan Bingyi. And other side Zhu Yan has feelings for Lan Bingyi.

"Bingyi!", Zhu Yan says.

"Gege!", Lan Sizhui says worriedly.

Lan Bingyi looks at his little brother and army general. He properly sits on the floor and then lowers his head.

"Gege! For how long you are going to torture it! Who has manipulated you. Who is filling poison in your heart. Tell us his or her name. In childhood you were always sweet and calm but what happened that you tried to kills Wangji gege! You both had food bonding then who filled the position in your heart against him. Please tell! I want you back.", Lan Sizhui says and he hugs his brother.

Lan Bingyi is silent. Zhu Yan caresses Lan Bingyi's hair.

"Why are you silent?", Zhu Yan asks.

"I don't regret my decision.", Lan Bingyi says.

"But why?", Zhu Yan asks.

Lan Bingyi stays silent. Lan Sizhui takes opens a lunch box and he takes out food from it. He feeds the food to Lan Bingyi with his own hands.

Zhu Yan tells Lan Bingyi whatever happened in royal palace. When Lan Bingyi hears Lan Su She's name then he stops eating food. He looks at both of them with a different look.

__________
*********

At evening Lan Wangji arrives at Wei Wuxian's quarter. As usual they both are enjoying the tea. Lan Wangji's eyes are searching someone.

"Yanli! I will tell you something and you have to do it.", Lan Wangji says.

"What's it emperor?", Wei Wuxian asks.

"I am telling about our physical relationship. We have to do it soon. Don't you want your son to become crown prince!", Lan Wangji asks.

"No! Not you! I am here just for sometime. If you will always put me here then still I will not allow you to touch me.", Wei Wuxian says.

"You have to accept one day. Why don't you understand the simple things. Marry me with happiness. You will be empress and you can manage the imperial affairs.", Lan Wangji says.

"I will marry a beggar but I will not marry you.", Wei Wuxian says as he takes a sip of tea.

Lan Wangji finishes his tea and he takes Wei Wuxian's tea. He finishes it in one sip.

"Hanguang-Jun! It was my tea.", Wei Wuxian says ans he hits on Lan Wangji's shoulder. It's the first time when he has tried a bold move with the emperor.

Lan Wangji glares at Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian shrinks himself at the corner of a table and behaves like a lady. Sometimes he forgot that he is in Jiang Yanli's form. He walks like a badass female.

Lan Wangji gets up from his seat. He turns to Wei Wuxian.

"Where is A-Xian?", Lan Wangji asks. Actually he didn't want to ask but the curiosity to see him gets dominant in his mind.

"Actually he is not here. I have sent him for some work.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Which work?", Lan Wangji asks.

"We want new clothes for all the guards and maids. We want some new designs on our new clothes. I have sent him for this work.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Oh! Tell him to come at my palace tomorrow morning. I want to have some conversations with him. I want to know that which types of colors and designs you want.", Lan Wangji says.

"Why you? I mean you are an emperor. You have lots of big works to do but still why are you taking interest in normal things?", Wei Wuxian asks.

"Actually... I will tell Lan Sizhui to come there too. He was discussing in this matter with A-Xian. If can come too if you want.", Lan Wangji says.

"N..no. I can't come to your palace at morning time. A-Xian will come. I will send him.", Wei Wuxian says.

Lan Wangji takes a look of Wei Wuxian and comes out of the quarter. Be checks the security of the quarter. Everything is fine. The imperial guards are very careful now.

In Cloud Recesses
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Its morning time. Wei Wuxian calls Xiao Yu in his room. Xiao Yu greets him.

"Yu! You have to go to Hanguang-Jun's palace along with Wei Wuxian.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Okay princess. But where's he? Why I never found him anywhere? Where do he live because I didn't see him. I only saw him once in the kitchen. He was preparing food for prince Sizhui.", Xiao Yu says.

"He is doing a very important work. Don't let anyone know that he is Wei Wuxian. Tell everyone if they will ask that he is A-Xian!", Wei Wuxian says.

"Task! I understood! I will call him A-Xian.", Xiao Yu says.

Wei Wuxian takes a sigh of relief.

"Which work I have to do?", Xiao Tu asks.

"You told me that you have knowledge of herbs due to which you can cure any wound or disease. You want to help Hanguang-Jun's elder brother. You can help him.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Really!", Xiao Yu says and she feels shy but she doesn't show it.

"Yes. Now get ready. Wait for him in courtyard. He will be available there in sometime.", Wei Wuxian says.

Xiao Yu nods her head. She goes to her room. Wei Wuxian takes a sigh of relief. He closes the door and removes his clothes.

"What Hanguang-Jun is thinking? Why he is taking interest in small things. It's workers work to select the costume for servants but why he is involving in it. Why he told me to come in his palace?", Wei Wuxian thinks and make weird face.

After half an hour Wei Wuxian gets ready in a servant form. He tries to cover his muscular body. He comes out and goes to Xiao Yu.

"Good morning young master Wei.", Xiao Yu says.

"Yu! Let's go.", Wei Wuxian says after nodding his head.

Xiao Yu and Wei Wuxian walks towards Lan Wangji's palace. They both talk casually. He doesn't let her know that he is living there as Jiang Yanli. Only few people know about it and he doesn't want to tell everyone about his speciality otherwise he will get in trouble.

Wei Wuxian and Xiao Yu reach in courtyard of Lan Wangji. They both are smiling to each other. Wei Wuxian is continuously talking and he tells Xiao Yu that he feels bored in Cloud Recesses. Their talk is so casual but someone is burning due to their closeness.

Lan Wangji is standing in the balcony. His eyes are on Wei Wuxian and Xiao Yu. Wei Wuxian's smile and all his little gestures for Xiao Yu are creating fire in the emperor's heart. Don't know what's happening with the emperor's heart. He likes Jiang Yanli but why he is feeling himself attached to Wei Wuxian.

Lan Wangji is struggling with his own feelings. He walks and takes big steps to arrive on the ground floor. His aura is dangerous and his eyes cold.

A guard stops Wei Wuxian and Xiao Yu outside the palace.

"Hanguang-Jun told me to meet him in his palace.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Let me inform him.", The guard says.

At the meanwhile Lan Wangji comes at the main door of the palace. Wei Wuxian looks at him and he bows. Xioa Yu also bows and they both greet him.

"A-Xian and you, come inside.", Lan Wangji says.

Lan Wangji goes into the hall. Wei Wuxian and Xiao Yu walk behind him. They both look at each other and then suddenly Lan Wangji turns towards them and he caught them both looking at each other. His fist tightens up.

Lan Wangji sits on his seat. He puts his hand on his knee and stares at both of them.

"Hanguang-Jun! Yesterday you told princess that you want to meet me in your palace.", Wei Wuxian says.

"I only told you not the one who is with you.", Lan Wangji says.

"Princess told her to come along with me. We can't deny her command.", Wei Wuxian says to defend Xiao Yu.

"Y..yes.", Xiao Yu replies.

"Why did she send you to me?", Lan Wangji asks.

"Em... Emperor! Your elder brother's legs have some pr.... I am here to cure his legs.", Xiao Yu says.

Lan Wangji remembers that his eleventh concubine once told him that Xiao Yu could cure Lan Xichen's legs because she had knowledge.

"Okay! I will give you the most unique present if you will be able to cure my brother's legs. If you will fail then you will have to face the consequences.", Lan Wangji says.

"Hanguang-Jun. I'm sorry to interrupt you but let her try once. Don't scare her.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Shut up! You are just a servant and telling me how to speak to a maid? Have you lost your mind that you can't recognize that I am emperor.", Lan Wangji says in anger because he couldn't tolerate that Wei Wuxian is defending Xiao Yu.

"Emperor... Please forgive him. I apologize in behalf of him.", Xiao Yu says and she gets on her knees. Her forehead turns sweaty after seeing Lan Wangji's anger.

Lan Wangji claps and he gets up from his seat. Wei Wuxian also gets on his knees and he lowers his head. Lan Wangji walks around them and his footsteps are echoing in the hall.

"You both are defending each other! What's the relationship in between you! Are you lovers?", Lan Wangji asks and he stops behind Wei Wuxian.

Wei Wuxian widens his eyes. His grip tightens on his clothes. Xiao Yu gets afraid due to the question. She doesn't have feelings for Wei Wuxian.

"No! We are nothing. We both are servants. There's nothing in between us. You have misunderstood us.", Wei Wuxian says.

""Hanguang-Jun! I like someone else. I don't have feelings for... for A-Xian.", Xiao Yu says.

Lan Wangji goes to his seat and sits there. He sees that Xiao Yu is trembling badly. He tells a servant to take Xiao Yu towards Lan Xichen's palace.

"Remember! If you will do any mistake or deliberately try to hurt my brother then nothing will be worse then me. Examine his leg's condition. If you won't be able to do it then must inform me. I don't want any mistake in my brother's case.", Lan Wangji says.

"Hanguang-Jun! I will try my best. Just give me a chance.", Xiao Yu says.

"Go!", Lan Wangji says.

The guard takes Xiao Yu towards Lan Xichen's palace. Now only Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian are in the hall. Wei Wuxian is still sitting on his knees and his head is lower.

"Sizhui will be here after one hour. You have arrived earlier so you have to stay here for one hour.", Lan Wangji says.

"Okay Hanguang-Jun! I will wait for him.", Wei Wuxian replies.

"For one hour you have to entertain me because I am getting bored. What can you do to entertain me? What ability do you have?", Lan Wangji asks.

"Entertain him! But why? I am not an entertainer!", Wei Wuxian thinks.

"What are you thinking? Don't you want to entertain YOUR emperor!", Lan Wangji says while pressuring on his words.

"I... I can play flute!", Wei Wuxian says.

"Nice! Now play flute.", Lan Wangji says.

"But I don't have flute.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Such a useless!", Lan Wangji mumbles.

Wei Wuxian pouts and rolls his eyes. His head is still lower that's why Lan Wangji couldn't see him rolling his eyes. He tells a servant to bring a flute for Wei Wuxian.

A servant brings the flute and gives it to Wei Wuxian. Lan Wangji looks at Wei Wuxian. He leans on his seat. Wei Wuxian hesitates. He puts the flute on his lips and closes his eyes.

Wei Wuxian is still sitting on his knees but he didn't mind it. He plays the flute and a melodious sound comes from it. After listing the melodious music of flute Lan Wangji's mind gets calm.

Wei Wuxian takes a look of Lan Wangji's face and he continues playing the flute. The melody fills the palace with a calmness. All the servant and maids works slowly th listen the magical music which effect their soul and mind.

After ten minutes Wei Wuxian finishes the music and puts the flute on the floor.

"Great! You have successfully impressed me.", Lan Wangji says.

"It is my good fortune that you liked my music.", Wei Wuxian says with a smile.

"I give you an offer. You can't deny it. I will pay for you for your work.", Lan Wangji says.

"Work?", Wei Wuxian asks surprisingly.

"Yes. You have to work as my musician in my palace to entertain me. You plays very good music. I appoint you from today.", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian gets panic.

"Hanguang-Jun. I'm sorry but ai can't go it.", Wei Wuxian says immediately.

"There's no choice for you to deny. You have to accept it.", Lan Wangji says.

"Hanguang-Jun! I already busy for whole day. I am here for princess. I can't work as your personal musician. Please let me go.", Wei Wuxian says.

"You can't argue with me. You have to accept it means accept it.", Lan Wangji says in loud voice.

Wei Wuxian shuts his mouth. He thinks about other options. If he will live here then he will not be able to go and turn into Jiang Yanli.

"Hanguang-Jun! I really have lots of work and I have promised emperor Jiang that I will take care of princess maids and all other servants. I will come here at morning time to entertain you with my music but at other time it's impossible. Please think about my time too.", Wei Wuxian says and he joins both his hands.

Lan Wangji can see that Wei Wuxian is taking stress. He sighs.

"Alright! You can arrive here in the morning for one hour to entertain me with your music. But it's compulsory for you to be present here at six o'clock at every morning time. If you will take a leave without informing me then you will get the punishment.", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian gets relaxed. One hour is better then a whole day. He bows and thanks Lan Wangji.

"Thank you Hanguang-Jun.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Hmm. Now play the music one more time. I want other music now.", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian nods his head. He again puts the flute on his lips and plays it.

After one hour Lan Sizhui arrives in the palace. He stops at the main door when he listens to the melodious music of the flute. He gets excited to see the person who is playing such a beautiful music.

Lan Sizhui comes into the hall and gets stunned to see Wei Wuxian there. He doesn't bother him and his brother and stands at his place.

Wei Wuxian stops playing the flute. Now his mouth is tired. He is continuously playing since one hour. ,

"Wangji ge.", Lan Sizhui says.

Lan Wangji was leaning on the seat. He sits properly on his seat. Lan Sizhui greets him.

"Brother! Is there any work?", Lan Sizhui asks.

"Hmm! I wanted you to meet A-Xian here. You can discuss to him about the clothes.", Lan Wangji says.

"Wangji ge. There as no need for you to take tension about it. I can meet him anytime. You don't need to invite him at palace.", Lan Sizhui says.

"I wanted to help you. Didn't you like it?", Lan Wangji asks.

"It's... Nothin brother.", Lan Sizhui says then he gets quiet.

Lan Wangji gives a pouch of money to Wei Wuxian.

"If you will continuously play music for me personally and in my assembly hall then I will praise you with expensive gifts and you will get chance to wear luxurious clothes and diamond jewellery.", Lan Wangji says.

"Th..thank you Hanguang-Jun. But I like as I am. I don't need any expensive gifts. My salary is enough for me.", Wei Wuxian says.

Lan Wangji smirks at Wei Wuxian's answer. He doesn't bother him again and goes to his room because now he has other main work.

Wei Wuxian immediately comes out of the palace with Lan Sizhui. He thought that he has saved his life from a lion's den. He put his hand on his head.

"Are you alright?", Lan Sizhui asks.

"No! Why it's happening to me. At evening Hanguang-Jun arrives my quarter to have tea with me and he wants me to entertain him at morning time with my music.", Wei Wuxian says and he gets frustrated.

"You are A-Xian and Jiang Yanli for him. Both are different personality that's why he can't recognize you. I am sorry for you because you are getting in the trouble. I will help you Wei Wuxian.", Lan Sizhui says.

"My blessings are with you. You are so sweet. May you get a best life with your Jin Ling.", Wei Wuxian says.

Lan Sizhui blushes. He walks away.

"Don't run.", Wei Wuxian says as he runs behind La Sizhui. They both playfully go towards their work.

__________
*********

Lan Lingjiao arrives to Wei Wuxian's quarter but she finds that Jiang Yanli isn't there. She waits in the quarter. Today she will clear something.

After a long time Wei Wuxian returns to his quarter. He sees that Lan Lingjiao is already there. He gets surprise.

Lan Lingjiao and Wei Wuxian come near each other. Lan Lingjiao opens her hand fan.

"You are here! Is there anything you want to tell?", Wei Wuxian asks.

"Jiang Yanli! It's not good to grab Hanguang-Jun's all attention towards yourself. You are trying to snatch him.", Lan Lingjiao says.

"Oh c'mon! Who wants your Hanguang-Jun. He is the one who wants me. I don't want him. I will be glad if he will let me go to my kingdom.", Wei Wuxian says as he doesn't care about the emperor.

"Seriously! Then why Hanguang-Jun always come to your quarter for tea? He never spent anytime with his other concubines. Even these days he has stopped talking to me too! What's your planning? I'm telling you stay away from him.", Lan Lingjiao says.

"I already said that I am not interested on him. Do whatever you want. But wait a minute! Why are you angry to see me closer to Hanguang-Jun?", Wei Wuxian asks.

Wei Wuxian comes near Lan Lingjiao and looks into her eyes. He got it.

"You like him that's why you are getting jealous after seeing me with him. But you are his cousin sister. How can you have desires for your brother?", Wei Wuxian asks and he smirks.

"Yanli! Yes! It's true. I love him. Soz I am warning you to stay away from him. Otherwise.....", Lan Lingjiao says but Wei Wuxian cuts her sentence.

"Do whatever you want. I am not afraid of you. Hanguang-Jun is yours. Go to him.", Wei Wuxian says.

Lan Lingjiao gets quiet. Wei Wuxian is taking everything casually. Is he making fun of her?

Lan Lingjiao takes a step towards the door but Wei Wuxian grabs her hand due to which she looks at him.

"Do you really think you will be able to win his heart! He is crazy for me. He has never spent a single night with any of his concubines. He is still pure virgin, saint and wants to lose his virginity with me. He wants to impregnate me with his baby. I don't think that he has shown this much possessiveness and love towards anyone else. Then how can you expect that Hanguang-Jun will like you after all. Huh!", Wei Wuxian says.

Today there is a kind of taunt on Wei Wuxian's words. He is jealous or not, Lan Lingjiao can't understand it. Wei Wuxian stares at her and leaves her hand.

"At evening and anytime he will be here. Do you want to know how much he cares for me then you can stay here.", Wei Wuxian says.

"You said you don't like him than why are you showing off? Are you jealous, bitch!", Lan Lingjiao says.

"Why I would be jealous? I am not jealous... Huh!", Wei Wuxian says and his body heats up.

The thing pierce his heart when Lan Lingjiao tells him to stay away from Lan Wangji and for the first time he feels that he can't let anyone go near his emperor.

Lan Lingjiao stubbornly sits on a chair.

"Take me water!", Lan Lingjiao shouts at a maid.

"Be respectful towards my maids. I never shouts on them and I never mistreat them. You don't have right to bully them.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Don't give me lecture.", Lan Lingjiao shouts.

"No one give her water if she will not talk nicely to anyone. It's my order.", Wei Wuxian says.

All the maids and servants engage in their own work. Some rests after finishing their work but no one asks Lan Lingjiao about water or any beverages.

Wei Wuxian and Lan Lingjiao stare at each other. There's so many things in their mind but someone is starting the argument.

On the other side Xiao Yu has prepared liquid with the different varieties of herbs in a pot.

Xiao Yu uses a cloth to separate the liquid from the herbs fiber and she collects the liquid in a bowl. She is doing work with her all focus and good intentions.

Lan Xichen is reading book in his courtyard under a blossom tree. He doesn't know that Xiao Yu is there and preparing medicine for him.

Xiao Yu comes into the courtyard with a few servants.

"Prince! G...good afternoon!", Xiao Yu says.

Lan Xichen uplifts his head but his eyes stick on Xiao Yu. The servants create the distance.

"I am Xiao Yu. Maid of Princess Jiang. Actually I wanted to cure your legs that's why I am here. I talked to princess and she has given me permission. Hanguang-Jun sent me here with his permission.", Xiao Yu says.

"Yu! Don't waste your time over me. It's useless. My legs will never cure.", Lan Xichen says.

Xiao Yu feels pain in Lan Xichen's voice. She takes a few steps towards him.

"Prince! Please don't lose hope. I just want a chance. I promise I will not hurt you.", Xiao Yu says.

Lan Xichen smiles painfully and he gets emotional. He still thinks that every try is useless because he has lost all his will power. He has accepted that he will never be able to walk.

"Xiao Yu! Nothing will work. Please don't waste your time over me.", Lan Xichen says.

"Prince! Let's try one time. If it will be helpful then it will be good fortunate for you.", Xiao Yu says.

Lan Xichen doesn't argue and he accepts it. A servant takes Lan Xichen inside his room. Xiao Yu enters there.

"You can go.", Lan Xichen says to the servant.

Now only Xiao Yu and Lan Xichen are in the room. Lan Xichen is lying on the bed. Xiao Yu comes near him.

"Prince! I have to remove your trousers.", Xiao Yu says.

Lan Xichen unknowingly smiles and looks at Xiao Yu. Xioa Yu's head is lowered.

"Hmm. Treat me as a patient. Don't think that I am prince. You will be more focused.", Lan Xichen says.

Xioa Yu removes the outer robe from Lan Xichen's body. Then she removes the belt. And then she removes the trousers. Lan Xichen is only in inner robes and a cloth on his private part. His long legs are visible.

Xiao Yu applies the medicine on Lan Xichen's legs. She massages on them. She pinches some nerves to stimulate them. She also massages on the sole of foot, toes and fingers.

Lan Xichen closes his eyes. Again a hope raises inside him. Today a lady has come to him and asked herself that she wants to help him. Lan Xichen feels himself lucky that someone herself wants to help him without any selfishness.

Jiang Yanli is pregnant and tomorrow morning she told her husband after checkup. Jin Zixuan tells his mother and then announces to people that the express is pregnant and soon they will get a hire.

Jiang Yanli is living in Jin Palace with a different name, Jin Xu. Everyone knows her by Jin Xu name. Many people asked Jin Zixuan that from where did he brought this lady as his empress. Jin Zixuan replied to them that he found her in a small clan, that's why no one knows her.

Madam Jin is taking a very good care of Jiang Yanli. Jiang Yanli is so happy in her palace. But some people are unhappy because of her. Some mature daughters of higher level of ministers in the palace are jealous of her. They think that a girl from low clan can't be empress but in order of Jin Zixuan they all are silent.

Some also tries to create trouble for Jiang Yanli but Jin Zixuan and Jin Ling handles them all.

Jin Ling is sitting with Jiang Yanli in the hall. There are lots of food items in front of Jiang Yanli.

"Empress! Mother said that you have to finish it.", Jin Ling says.

"It's too much.", Jiang Yanli says.

"It's for my nephew's good health.", Jin Ling says.

Jiang Yanli blushes and she caresses her tummy. Jin Ling comes into the porch and sits on a wooden chair.

Jin Ling closes his fist.

"Sizhui! Empress is pregnant! Soon the kingdom will get a hire. I am going to be uncle.", Jin Ling thinks and he opens his fist.

A butterfly comes from Jin Ling's hand and it disappears.

Lan Sizhui receives the butterfly message. After knowing about Jiang Yanli's pregnancy he gets happy.

"I will tell Wei Wuxian. He will get more excited after hearing this good news. His Shijie is pregnant.", Lan Sizhui thinks.

On the other side Wei Wuxian and Lan Lingjiao are waiting for Lan Wangji inside the quarter.

At evening Lan Wangji comes into Wei Wuxian's quarter. When he goes inside he finds that Lan Lingjiao is already present there. He stares at her and then looks worriedly at Wei Wuxian.

"Yanli! Are you alright?", Lan Wangji asks.

Wei Wuxian grins towards Lan Lingjiao. He gets up from his place and goes near Lan Wangji. He holds his arm. Lan Wangji feels current in his body because for the first time Jiang Yanli herself approaches him and holds his arm.

"Wangji! I am not fine!", Wei Wuxian replies with a pout.

"What happened?", Lan Wangji asks.

"Hanguang-Jun! She bullied me! She isn't good for you.", Lan Lingjiao says.

"No Wangji. I didn't bully her. She is lying.", Wei Wuxian says and tries to do some melodrama.

Lan Wangji looks confusingly at both of them. Lan Lingjiao comes to the other side of Lan Wangji and she holds his hand.

"Hanguang-Jun! She is not good for you. Please leave her. Please! She can't impress me. She doesn't know the value of an empress. She can't do anything right. She doesn't have knowledge.", Lan Lingjiao says.

"Did you both fight?", Lan Wangji asks.

"No! She came to my quarter. Then she said that she lik..... I should stay away from you.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Lingjiao! What behavior is this?", Lan Wangji asks.

"It's all her fault. She didn't talk nicely to me. Even she didn't ask me to have water. I came here to explain to her that she needs to be more eligible for the empress post but she started bullying me.", Lan Lingjiao says.

"No... She said that...", Wei Wuxian says but Lan Wangji tells them to stay quiet.

"Okay! Now finish the argument. Lingjiao, go to your palace.", Lan Wangji says.

Lan Lingjiao stays silent in front of his brother. She leaves the quarter. Wei Wuxian leaves Lan Wangji's arms and creates distance from him. Lan Wangji raises his one eyebrow.

"Yanli! Why did you pretend to be near to me in front of Lingjiao. Were you jealous?", Lan Wangji asks when he noticed that Wei Wuxian has created distance soon when Lan Lingjiao left.

"No! It's nothing like that. I don't have interest in you.", Wei Wuxian replies.

Wei Wuxian comes into the kitchen and prepares tea. He comes into the room with the plate and serves tea in the cups.

"Yanli! What have you thought about marrying me legally and being the empress of this kingdom?", Lan Wangji asks.

Wei Wuxian doesn't reply. He is fed up because Lan Wangji asks same question every time. He chose to keep silent.

"Yanli. Think about kids.", Lan Wangji says.

"I don't want to marry you.", Wei Wuxian replies.

"I am the king. I can force you if you will not agree.", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian stares at Lan Wangji. He sighs but doesn't reply.

"Aren't you afraid?", Lan Wangji asks.

"I will kill you if you will come closer to me.", Wei Wuxian says in a challenging tone.

"Really? I am king.", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian stares at Lan Wangji. He gets up from his seat and comes to the kitchen. He folds his arms and looks around.

Lan Wangji finishes his tea and waits for Wei Wuxian in the room. He is thinking that his future empress has gotten upset because of him. His imagination breaks when Wei Wuxian comes there with a tray for four cups.

Wei Wuxian puts the tray on the table. There are four cups of tea. He extended then in front of Lan Wangji.

"One of them has poison. Drink it and you will go to hell.", Wei Wuxian says.

Lan Wangji gets surprised and Wei Wuxian can see expressions on his face. Lan Wangji holds a cup. He is really impressed by his bravery.

"Three are normal cups of tea. One has poison. It's a game. Drink one cup of tea.", Wei Wuxian says.

"What if I die?", Lan Wangji asks.

"I will have chance to go home. I will be free. Someone else will be the emperor of Gusu.", Wei Wuxian says.

Lan Wangji's grip tightens on the cup.

"If I will drink one then you will allow me to come one step closer to you.", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian's eyes get wide and he stares at Lan Wangji.

"I mean! We can start from kiss. If I will not die then I will kiss you.", Lan Wangji says.

"Leave it. Don't drink it.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Are you afraid huh? You said you will kill me. What happened? Are you not sure that you will be able to kiss me? Are you afraid of this challenge?", Lan Wangji asks.

"No! At any cost I don't want to lose my dignity. There's no relation in between you and me. O know you are so clever. By challenges you will come closer to me step by step. No... I will not take risk.", Wei Wuxian says and he crosses his hands on his chest.

Lan Wangji put the cup on the table. He is serious now. He gets up from his seat.

"You are so stubborn! I am going.", Lan Wangji says.

"I will always deny you. So, forget about me.", Wei Wuxian says.

Lan Wangji comes out of the quarter in anger. Wei Wuxian takes a sigh of relief.

"It's getting very dangerous for me to stay here. I have to leave this place as soon as possible... But how? This angry bull can take my advantage anytime, by force.", Wei Wuxian thinks.

Lan Wangji was going to his palace in anger. A servant comes to him. He can see that his emperor is very easy.

"Hanguang-Jun! Your parents wants to meet you.", The servent says while bowing in front of Lan Wangji.

"Hmm.", Lan Wangji replies.

Lan Wangji goes to his parents' palace. His parents guessed that their son is angry.

"Son! Why are you angry?", Lan Yi asks.

"She is denying me everyday.", Lan Wangji says in frustration.

"Don't forget that you are an emperor. You can do everything and no one will stop you. Use your power son! Don't ask for permission.", Lan Qingheng-Jun says.

Lan Wangji listens to his father. Still he listens to his father in many decisions. Lan Wangji nods his head. Then he talked to his parents.

_____________
************

The next day Wei Wuxian reaches Lan Wangji's palace. Lan Wangji is sitting on his seat and Wei Wuxian is sitting far from him on a mattress. The place where Wei Wuxian is sitting is decorated.

Today also the hall is empty because Lan Wangji has given order to all the servants to go out of the palace.

Today Lan Wangji isn't smiling for a second. Maybe he is thinking something bold. Wei Wuxian feels uncomfortable due to his gaze.

"Start.", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian puts the flute on his lips and he plays the music. Lan Wangji is listening to the music. Also he is thinking about the future.

"Stop.", Lan Wangji says after sometime.

Wei Wuxian stopped playing the flute. Lan Wangji signals him to come near him. Wei Wuxian comes to him. Lan Wangji grabs his hand and pulls him on his lap.

Wei Wuxian widens his eyes. He tries to get up from his lap but Lan Wangji wraps his arms around his waist too tightly.

"Hanguang-Jun! Leave me! I am not a lady.. I am a man. Leave me!", Wei Wuxian says in anger.

Lan Wangji flips Wei Wuxian and he pins him under himself and comes over him. He grabs both his hands from one and holds his chin with his other hand.

"A-Xian! Why you and Yanli feels so similar to me? You both are not brother and sister but still I think there's something similar in you. I feel same for you as I feel for Yanli! What's the matter?", Lan Wangji asks.

Wei Wuxian gets afraid because he thought that Lan Wangji has got doubt on him.

"Hanguang-Jun! There's nothing similar in me and princess. I am just a servant.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Whatever! But I like both of you. A-Xian! I can't marry you and make you empress because you are a male. I have reserved the seat of empress for Yanli. But you can be my personal slave who will serve me on my bed. In return I will give you a luxurious life. You have done something on me that I want to feel you deeply. I don't care whatever you are a male or not but I am crazy for you.", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian gets goosebumps in his body. He tries hard to push Lan Wangji with all his strength by Lan Wangji's grip is too tight on him.

"Hanguang-Jun! I don't have feelings for you. I am straight! Please leave me. I will not tell anyone that you like men. Let me go.", Wei Wuxian says.

Lan Wangji grabs Wei Wuxian's thin waist and nibbles his nose on his neck.

"You are cheating on princess. She will never want to replace herself by anyone else. If she will accept you then she will get possessive for you. She will never want me to come in your life.", Wei Wuxian says.

Lan Wangji doesn't reply and he moves his lips on Wei Wuxian's chin. Slowly he moves his soft lips on Wei Wuxian's corner of lips and he smooches on his lips.

Wei Wuxian widens his eyes. He thought his heart would come out of his chest. He stopped pushing Lan Wangji. Lan Wangji pressed his lips with Wei Wuxian's lips. After capturing his lips and kisses him by slowly moving his lips. The kiss is very intense. He isn't harming him by biting his lips but he is gentle in every action.

Wei Wuxian feels the kiss for sometime. It's not lie that he doesn't like the kiss. But then he collects his strength and pushes away Lan Wangji. He turns and gets up.

Lan Wangji wipes his lips and glares at Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian is angry too because Lan Wangji forced him to kiss. His body is shivering due to Lan Wangji's sudden action.

"A-Xian! Come here! Don't be stubborn!", Lan Wangji says by pointing beside him.

"I'm sorry Hanguang-Jun but I can't do it. I can't be your personal SLAVE!", Wei Wuxian says while pressuring on his words. He grits his teeth.

Lan Wangji chuckles.

"I said come here.", Lan Wangji says in his commanding voice.

Wei Wuxian hesitates.

"A-Xian! Come here!", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian walks slowly towards Lan Wangji. Lan Wangji holds his hand and again pulls him on his lap. He turns his face towards himself and moves his fingers on his face.

"Alright! I will not make you my personal slave! I think it has hurt you. Right! You will be my consort. But I want to make empress to Jiang Yanli.", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian doesn't reply. Lan Wangji admires his attractive face. The face is very fine and everything is perfect. He likes Wei Wuxian's all gestures, his walking style, his laughing, his smile. Everything in him.

Lan Wangji takes a deep breath and he again kisses on Wei Wuxian's lips. Wei Wuxian held Lan Wangji's arm. Lan Wangji caresses his hair and he deepens the kiss. Wei Wuxian doesn't respond to the kiss but he doesn't push Lan Wangji.

Lan Wangji breaks the kiss after sucking Wei Wuxian's both lips. He is looking passionately into his eyes.

"In one condition I will let you come closer to me!", Wei Wuxian says.

"What?", Lan Wangji asks.

"You will not force princess and let her live in her boundaries.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Okay...Is anything left?", Lan Wangji asks.

"I will tell after seeing other things.", Wei Wuxian replies.

Lan Wangji again joins his lips with Wei Wuxian's lips. Wei Wuxian closes his eyes. It's the first time when his heart is pounding for a man.

Lan Wangji stops his movement on Wei Wuxian's lips but their lips are still attached. Wei Wuxian doesn't move his lips for sometime. When Lan Wangji doesn't kiss him then Wei Wuxian moves his lips.

Lan Wangji holds something and caresses Wei Wuxian's hair. After a long kiss they both parted their lips. Wei Wuxian turns his face away. His cheeks are red. Lan Wangji gulps after seeing Wei Wuxian's messy condition.

"You can go now.", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian gets up from there and goes away. He turns and looks at Lan Wangji. They both don't speak anything.

Wei Wuxian immediately leaves the palace. He walks towards his quarter. Still the kiss is roaming in his mind.

"A-Xian!", Lan Sizhui says. He can't take Wei Wuxian's real name in front of everyone.

Wei Wuxian comes out of his imagination and looks at Lan Sizhui.

"There's a good news for you.", Lan Sizhui says and comes near Wei Wuxian.

Wei Wuxian takes interest.

"Your shijie is pregnant. You are going to be an uncle.", Lan Sizhui says.

Wei Wuxian widens his eyes with surprise. He hugs Lan Sizhui.

"Is it true?", Wei Wuxian asks.

"Yes.", Lan Sizhui replies.

Wei Wuxian breaks the hug. He has a big smile on his face.

"I will send something for shijie.", Wei Wuxian mumbles.

Lan Sizhui sees something on Wei Wuxian's hair.

"Did my brother give you this?", Lan Sizhui asks.

"What?", Wei Wuxian asks.

Lan Sizhui points at Wei Wuxian's head. Wei Wuxian puts his hand on his ponytail and finds a hairpin. He takes out from hair and looks at it. It's a jade hairpin.

Wei Wuxian again remembers the kiss and he remembers that Lan Wangji was doing something with his hair.

"I saw this once in my Wangji ge's hair. Queen gifted him. Did he give it to you? It means you are special for him. Is there anything going in between you two?", Lan Sizhui asks.

Wei Wuxian gets nervous. He doesn't know how to explain to Lan Sizhui about the kiss.

"He told me to play flute for him. He gifted me in return when I entertained him with a flute's music.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Wow! He never show this much affection to anyone even he has never gifted anything which belongs to him to his concubines.", Lan Sizhui says and smiles.

Wei Wuxian gets current in his body. He is the first one with whom Lan Wangji wants to involve physically and emotionally. Lan Wangji asked Jiang Yanli fir permission but he directly kissed Wei Wuxian without his permission.

"It's nothing.", Wei Wuxian says.

___________
***********

Lan Su She is in the dungeon. He is in very bad condition. Blood is oozing from his body. He was tortured with hunter.

A person in black clothes enters the dungeon. He opens the door and comes inside. He looks at Lan Su She and greets him.

"Master!", the person says.

"Go to Qishan and tell Wen Ruohan.", Lan Su She says.

Lan Su She tells something to the person in black clothes. After that the person left from there. He starts his journey to Qishan.

On the other side Lan Bingyi is still tied up with chains. He is still stubborn.

"I don't regret.", Lan Bingyi mumbles.

"You tried to kill my mother twice. My brother Sizhui trust on you. You have manipulated him but you can't manipulate my Hanguang-Jun. I am glad to the brother because he told me everything.", Lan Bingyi thinks.

__________
*********

At evening time Lan Wangji doesn't get time to arrive Wei Wuxian's quarter. He was busy in a sudden meeting. He got to know that Wens is planning something big.

The other day at morning Lan Wangji waits for Wei Wuxian in his palace. For half an hour Wei Wuxian doesn't arrive. He still waits for him but today Wei Wuxian doesn't arrive there. He goes for his imperial work.

Xiao Yu is taking so much care of Lan Xichen. She is doing everything to cure his legs. Now Lan Xichen has started moving his toes.

Lan Xichen talks to Xiao Yu. Their bonding is getting good. Lan Xichen has gained a friend with whom he can spend his day. At night Xiao Yu returns to the quarter.

_________
********

Now four days have passed. There's no sign of A-Xian in Cloud Recesses according to Lan Wangji. Wei Wuxian hasn't arrived Lan Wangji's palace after that kiss. He only lives in Jiang Yanli's form.

Even at night Wei Wuxian doesn't dare to come in his orginal form because he can't trust Lan Wangji.

Today at morning Wei Wuxian again doesn't arrive Lan Wangji's palace. Lan Wangji comes out of his palace in anger. He met Lan Sizhui.

"Gege! Why are you angry?", Lan Sizhui asks.

"Where is A-Xian!", Lan Wangji asks.

"I don't know. I haven't seen him since many days.", Lan Sizhui says and he crosses his fingers.

"Where can he go?", Lan Wangji asks.

"In quarter.", Lan Sizhui replies.

Lan Wangji furiously walks towards Wei Wuxian's quarter. Lan Sizhui takes a sigh of relief. Wei Wuxian has already informed him that he will not take his orginal form for sometime.

Lan Wangji comes into Wei Wuxian's quarter. He sees that Jiang Yanli is sitting in the courtyard and reading book. She is eating grapes and laughing madly.

Lan Wangji gets stunned at his place after seeing Jiang Yanli laughing like a crazy lady. When Wei Wuxian's eyes fall on Lan Wangji then he immediately closes the book and stands at his place. He wipes his lips and behaves like a lady.

"Good morning Hanguang-Jun!", Wei Wuxian says.

"Good morning!", Lan Wangji replies. Somehow his frustration gets calm after seeing Wei Wuxian.

"You here at morning time!", Wei Wuxian asks.

"Yes.. actually! Have you seen A-Xian? Where's he? I want to talk to him personally.", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian coughs. He looks around.

"He isn't here!", Wei Wuxian says.

"What? Where's he?", Lan Wangji ask. There's tension in his voice.

Wei Wuxian looks at Lan Wangji's facial expressions.

"He told me that he is going to his friend's village which is very far in... In.. I forgot the name..", Wei Wuxian says.

"What? When will he arrive?", Lan Wangji asks.

"I can't say anything. Maybe he will stay there for two three months. He said that he doesn't like to stay here. He was facing some problems. Someone bullied him. That poor and innocent soul left immediately. He said he will do some work in that village to earn money. If he will not be able to find work then he will return here.", Wei Wuxian says.

Lan Wangji closes his eyes in frustration. Wei Wuxian is enjoying his facial expressions. He stops himself from laughing.

"You took my advantage and now I will take your advantage.", Wei Wuxian thinks and he smirks.

"What happened? Why are you searching him?", Wei Wuxian asks.

"Actually he plays music with flute. I told him to play music for me. But he is missing from four days.", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian comes near Lan Wangji and looks at his face.

"Are you missing him?", Wei Wuxian asks.

"...."

"Why are you so worried for him? You can tell other musician to play music for you. Why A-Xian?", Wei Wuxian asks.

Lan Wangji's breath stuck in his lungs and his face turns crimson red. He doesn't reply.

"He...he is...", Lan Wangji says and he hesitates.

"I think it's enough now. He is already red.", Wei Wuxian thinks and he chuckles.

"I don't know when he will return. Also I don't know the village name. If he will not return then don't get worried for him. He will be safe and happy with his friend. I hope he marries a village woman and settle his house in that village.", Wei Wuxian says.

Lan Wangji clenches his fist. He can't imagine Wei Wuxian with a woman.

"He will return.", Lan Wangji says.

"Why are you so sure? Wait a minute! Why are you asking about him? You haven't asked how I am and am I getting facilities or not. But you asked about him.", Wei Wuxian says.

"....."

Wei Wuxian is really enjoying a lot. Lan Wangji sits on a chair.

"Hanguang-Jun. I think you are tense. Let me prepare tea for you.", Wei Wuxian says.

Wei Wuxian goes inside the kitchen and he prepares tea for Lan Wangji. There's a smile on his face which isn't fading. He also doesn't know why he is smiling a lot. Is this because Lan Wangji wants Wei Wuxian?

Wei Wuxian comes into the courtyard and puts the tray on the table. He serves tea to Lan Wangji. Lan Wangji takes a sip of tea.

Lan Wangji returns to his imperial work. Wei Wuxian takes a sigh of relief. Now he doesn't have to go to Lan Wangji's palace. He doesn't have to face problems.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

It's been a long time. Lan Wangji hasn't got any information about A-Xian. These days he is so busy that's why he doesn't get regular chance to meet Wei Wuxian in his quarter. Only twice in a week he visits his quarter.

Wei Wuxian is living peacefully. These days the concubines and Lan Lingjiao aren't bothering him because Lan Wangji has reduced to come in his quarter.

One day at noon time Wei Wuxian arrives at the imperial palace. He searched Lan Wangji. He sees that Lan Wangji is talking to ministers.

Wei Wuxian waits at some distance. Lan Wangji notices him. He finishes his conversation and comes to Wei Wuxian.

"Yanli! You are here! Did you want to meet me?", Lan Wangji asks.

"Hanguang-Jun! Yes I wanted to meet you. There's a surprise for you.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Surprise! What's it? Have you planned a new trick to kill me?", Lan Wangji tells a joke.

"No! It's very simple to kill you. I am not interested in killing you right now. But there's a surprise for you. Come with me.", Wei Wuxian says with a cheerful smile.

Lan Wangji looks at Wei Wuxian's smile. He agrees because he doesn't want to break his innocent heart.

Wei Wuxian holds Lan Wangji's hand and he takes him towards the main door. Lan Lingjiao and a concubine with her are seeing everything.

"Jiang Yanli has started her trick again!", Lan Wangji's concubine says.

"That bitch is so clever! First we have to do something with her.", Lan Lingjiao says angrily.

"Lingjiao!", Lan Qiren says.

Lan Lingjiao gets stunned and she turns towards her father.

"What are you saying?", Lan Qiren asks.

"F..father... It's..", Lan Lingjiao says.

"Please this time don't do any reckless thing. My nephew can be very dangerous for you. Never ever try to hurt Yanli otherwise he will give you the worse punishment and I will not be able to save you. Understand!”, Lan Qiren says in a strict voice.

"Father! I wasn't planning about her... A maid is so reckless. We were talking about her.", Lan Lingjiao says.

"Be careful. My eyes are on you.", Lan Qiren says.

Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji are outside Lan Xichen's palace. Lan Wangji is confused.

"Let's go.", Wei Wuxian says.

Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian enter the palace. They both foes in the hall. They both can hear some voices. They both slowly go towards a room.

Lan Xichen is lying on bed and Xiao Yu is massaging his feet. They are talking at night. Wei Wuxian coughs. Xiao Yu looks at the door.

"Can we come inside?", Wei Wuxian asks.

"Yes!", Xiao Yu answers.

Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian enter the room. Lan Xichen smiles after seeing his younger brother. Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian greet him.

"Brother! How are you? How is your health? Is everything fine?", Lan Wangji asks with concern.

"Yes Lan Zhan.", Lan Xichen says.

Wei Wuxian looks at Lan Wangji.

"Lan Zhan!", Wei Wuxian says.

Lan Wangji's ears turned red. It's his birth name which his parents and elder brother use rarely. In childhood they used to call him by his birth name but when Lan Wangji gets the title of crown prince and then Hanguang-Jun, from then it becomes rade for Lan Wangji to hear his birth name from his parents and elder brother.

"It's his birth name.", Lan Xichen says.

Wei Wuxian nods his head. Xiao Yu has lowered her head because the emperor is there.

"Hanguang-Jun! Look there. It's the surprise.", Wei Wuxian says and points at Lan Xichen's foot.

Lan Xichen smiles and he moves his feet, toes and fingers. Lan Wangji widens his eyes. It's a miracle for him.

"Xichen ge!", Lan Wangji says and he holds Lan Xichen's hand.

"Yes... I can move my foot. I am in progress! Xiao Yu has turned the impossible thing into possible. She has a great knowledge.", Lan Xichen says.

"Prince! It's not just my hardwork...but you also have will power.", Xiao Yu says.

Now Lan Wangji has started trusting on Xiao Yu. She has really put her all patience to cure Lan Xichen's legs. He gets impressed by her.

Lan Xichen turns to Wei Wuxian.

"Did you like it?", Wei Wuxian asks.

"Hmm!", Lan Wangji replies.

Lan Wangji held his brothers hand more tightly. He wants to see his brother walking.

"Xichen ge! If you will get well then I promise your son will be the crown prince.", Lan Wangji says directly without thinking twice.

"Wangji! What are you saying? I am not emperor. You are the emperor! Your child will be the future crown prince.", Lan Xichen says. He can't believe in his ears.

Wei Wuxian also gets surprised by Lan Wangji's words. He never thought that Lan Wangji could have a big heart. He always thought him cruel and heartless.

"Yes! I want your son to be crown prince.", Lan Wangji says.

"Wangji! It's not possible! What if I will not be able to walk!", Lan Xichen says ans get tense.

"You can do it. Get well. You will marry and then you will have a son who will be the crown prince. You are my elder brother but because of your incapability you didn't get chance to become crown prince and emperor. I know you have more skills then me but you never get a chance to show them. Your son will have same skills. I will myself declare him the crown prince.", Lan Wangji says.

"Wangji! In one condition! If he will be capable then he can be crown prince otherwise I will not give this empire in any reckless hands.", Lan Xichen says.

Lan Wangji nods his head. Wei Wuxian put his hand on Xiao Yu's shoulder.

"Well done!", Wei Wuxian says.

"Thank you princess.", Xiao Yu replies with a shy smile.

After an hour Wangji and Wei Wuxian comes out of the palace. They both turn to their work.

"Yanli!", Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian turns towards Wangji.

"Did you get any information about A-Xian?", Lan Wangji asks.

"Oh no! He has started again.", Wei Wuxian thinks.

"No.", Wei Wuxian replies.

Lan Wangji gets quiet.

"What happened? Why are you asking about him?", Wei Wuxian asks.

"It's nothing! You can go.", Lan Wangji says.

A mischievous smile appears in Wei Wuxian's face and he leaves for his quarter.

"Sometimes why I feel that A-Xian is related to Yanli. I get same feeling from both. Maybe it's my illusion. Or maybe I am trying to find A-Xian in Yanli. They both are different and they have different gender. They aren't siblings or twins.", Lan Wangji thinks.

Lan Wangji arrives in the imperial palace. He again got busy in his imperial work.

"Hanguang-Jun! I have a news for you.", A person says.

Lan Wangji gives his work to someone else. He goes inside a meeting room with the person. He is the spy of Lan Wangji.

"Hanguang-Jun! I saw you talking with a lady! Who is she?", Ouyang Zizhen asks.

***********

Name : Ouyang Zizhen
He is an agent and spy of Lan Wangji

***********

"Whom you are talking about? The lady who was wearing blue royal hanfu and red color jade hairpin!", Lan Wangji asks.

"Yes.", Ouyang Zizhen says.

"She is my eleventh concubine. Also she is future empress. Her name is Lan Yanli.", Lan Wangji says.

"Hanguang-Jun! Can it be possible! Do she has a twin sister?", Ouyang Zizhen asks.

"No. She is princess of Yunmeng. She has younger sibling Jiang Cheng and a non biological brother.. I don't know his name.", Lan Wangji says.

"Emperor Jin has married to a lady who looks like your eleventh concubine. Her name is Jin Xu! She is pregnant. She looks exactly like your eleventh concubine. I'm sorry your highness but is it a coincidence?", Ouyang Zizhen asks.

Lan Wangji trusts his agent. He can never lie and his eyes can never deceive.

"When she married to Jin Zixuan?", Lan Wangji asks.

"It's been a long time. She is pregnant these days. There's a mystery about her. Emperor of Lanling, Jin Zixuan has told everyone that his wife belongs to a small clan. There's no history about her. There's no proper background. She hasn't openly mentioned her family to everyone.", Ouyang Zizhen says.

"Maybe she just looks like Yanli.", Lan Wangji says.

Ouyang Zizhen stays silent. He can't forget the face which he saw in Lanling. Also Jiang Yanli has the same face. There's no difference in their height and look.

Someone knocks on the door. Lan Wangji and Ouyang Zizhen look at the door.

"Come in!", Lan Wangji says.

A person enters the room. He closes the door and greets Lan Wangji.

"Hanguang-Jun! Wen Ruohan has built his army. The buy ships from their allies. Maybe they are planning something big. They are giving strict training to their army. Also they collected a large number of weapons.", The spy says.

"They are planning to attack on Gusu or maybe on Yunmeng.", Lan Wangji says. He is serious now.

The spy gives more information to Lan Wangji about Qishan kingdom. Lan Wangji immediately called Zhu Yan in the meeting room.

Lan Wangji sits in his chair. Soon Zhu Yan and some guards arrive there. Zhu Yan greets Lan Wangji.

"Zhu Yan! Wen Ruohan is strengthening his army. He has brought arms from his allies. Maybe they are planning about war. Write a letter to Yunmeng and tell their emperor to send war general Yiling Patriarch for a meeting. It's very important to discuss about the seriousness of war.", Lan Wangji says.

"Okay Hanguang-Jun.", Zhu Yan replies.

Zhu Yan holds a paper and he writes a letter to Jiang Fengmian. Lan Wangji puts his personal stamp on the letter. Zhu Yan sends the letter to Yunmeng by his soldier.

In Yunmeng
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

After a few days Jiang Fengmian gets the letter by Lan Wangji. He gets tense after reading Yiling Patriarch's name on it. He immediately called Jiang Cheng there.

Jiang Cheng and Jiang Fengmian come into the meeting room with Xue Yang. No one is there. They know about Wei Wuxian's truth.

"Father! I will go there for meeting.", Jiang Cheng says.

"But he has told Wei Wuxian to attend the meeting. Yiling Patriarch is war general and at this serious time Zhu Yan and Yiling Patriarch will plan about the war strategies. Look here! Zhu Yan has only talked about Yiling Patriarch to attend the meeting. He has specially invited him.", Jiang Fengmian says.

"Now what?", Jiang Cheng asks.

"I will attend the meeting in disguise of Yiling Patriarch.", Xue Yang says.

"But our kingdom needs you. Anything can happen anytime. We can't trust Wens. They can attack anytime. If you will be in the meeting and Wens will target us then it will get difficult for us to save everything.", Jiang Cheng says.

Jiang Fengmian thinks a lot. He is again and again reading the letter.

"Hanguang-Jun has seen Yiling Patriarch in front of himself. Both of your height and body size doesn't matches to him. He will get it that you both are not Yiling Patriarch if you will disguise yourself into him. Hanguang-Jun is very clever.", Jiang Fengmian says.

"Father! So what's next?", Jiang Cheng asks.

"Inform Wei Wuxian about the meeting. We have to send him message.", Jiang Fengmian says.

"I will go to Gusu! I will inform Wei Wuxian.", Jiang Cheng says.

"We can send letter.", Xue Yang says.

"It's not easy to enter inside the palace. There's always strict checking on the main gate of the palace. They have token.", Jiang Fengmian says.

"Who will tell Wei Wuxian?", Jiang Cheng asks.

"We can't send anyone! No one knows that it's Wei Wuxian who is living there. Only Jiang Cheng can go there. Xue Yang has to stay here for the protection of the kingdom.", Jiang Fengmian says.

"Okay father! I can do it.", Jiang Cheng says confidently.

"Now it's really a time for Wei Wuxian to return home. He has to make an excuse.", Jiang Fengmian says. He is really worried about his son.

______________________

In Cloud Recesses
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Wei Wuxian is roaming in the palace and doing fun. Lan Liling, Fang, Zi Xuan and other concubines are staring at Wei Wuxian. They can't see his happiness.

Wei Wuxian avoids the concubines and takes a turn. He goes inside the assembly hall which is empty. It's not the time for assembly. Then he goes to other places. He is getting bored. He has nothing to do.

Wei Wuxian comes near a pond and sits there. Many colorful fishes are there. A basket of fish food is there. Wei Wuxian feeds the fish. He tasted a bite. He makes a weird face and again feeds the fishes.

"How can you eat this food? It's boring.", Wei Wuxian mumbles.

Wei Wuxian leaves those fishes. After getting bored he returns to his quarter. In these days he has explored all the corners of Cloud Recesses.

Wei Wuxian sees a maid there. There's a box in her hand.

"Princess! Your brother has sent this for you.", The maid says.

Wei Wuxian takes the box and opens it. There's a pendant on it. Wei Wuxian gets alert. He nods his head. The maid left his room.

Wei Wuxian locks the door and takes the pendant out of the box. This pendant has a speciality. Wei Wuxian opens the pendant and finds a small letter inside it.

"Wei Wuxian! I am in Gusu, Caiyi Town! Meet me. It's urgent. ~ Jiang Cheng."

Wei Wuxian immediately destroys the letter. He doesn't let anyone know about it.

On the other side Lan Wangji, Zhu Yan, Ouyang Zizhen and other guards gather for a meeting. Zhu Yan gives the letter to Lan Wangji which they receive from Yunmeng.

"Hanguang-Jun! They have agreed for the meeting but they have asked for sometime. They said Yiling Patriarch is sick these days. Xue Yang can't come because he is protecting Yunmeng. Prince Jiang has some personal issues.", Zhu Yan says. He has read the whole letter.

"When did you get the letter?", Ouyang Zizhen asks.

"Today at morning!", Zhu Yan answers.

"Ooh! Today Jiang Cheng send a gift for his jie jie! I saw a maid giving the first to her.", Ouyang Zizhen says.

"She is his elder sister. It's nothing strange that a brother is sending gift for his sister. You are thinking unnecessarily.", Zhu Yan says.

Lan Wangji plans about the war. He has decided that he will discuss with Yiling Patriarch after someday.

At afternoon Wei Wuxian decides to meet Lan Wangji. When Lan Wangji gets free from his work then he takes rest inside his pond.

Wei Wuxian comes to Lan Wangji's palace. He doesn't ask anyone and he himself searches him inside the palace. He has full freedom to go anywhere in this palace.

Wei Wuxian comes towards the pond area and sees that Lan Wangji is inside the pond and his half upper naked muscular body is visible. He doesn't feel shy because he is also a man.

"Hanguang-Jun! You are here! I was finding you from a long time.", Wei Wuxian says.

Lan Wangji turns towards Wei Wuxian. For him he is Jiang Yanli. Wei Wuxian is staring at Lan Wangji's white broad chest.

"You have a nice body. I have never seen you naked. Your muscles seem very tight. I want to touch them.", Wei Wuxian says.

Lan Wangji's ears turn red after hearing Wei Wuxian's shameless talk.

"Yanli! Do you know what you are talking about?", Lan Wangji asks.

Wei Wuxian blinks his eyes and he gains his senses when Lan Wangji takes Jiang Yanli's name. His fuse mind lits up.

"Aaaa... Hanguang-Jun! You are so shameless! How can you come naked in front of a woman? Where are your manners? Wear your clothes.", Wei Wuxian shouts and turns his back towards Lan Wangji.

"Yeah... I have acted very well. Ladies really do scream like this after seeing a handsome hot naked man.", Wei Wuxian thinks and he smiles.

Lan Wangji looks at himself and then he looks at Wei Wuxian. When did he arrive naked in front of him? It's him who came in his palace and saw him naked taking bath.

"Hanguang-Jun! I am going! You shameless, pervert! How can you seduce a lady?", Wei Wuxian shouts and runs towards away but his foot strips on his robes and he falls on ground.

"Yanli! Be careful.", Lan Wangji says ans he comes out of the pond. He wraps a towel around his waist.

Wei Wuxian gets up and looks at Lan Wangji. Lan Wangji's hair are open and water is dripping from them. He is naked and only a towel is wrapped around his waist.

Wei Wuxian's throat dries up. He unknowingly looks at Lan Wangji. Today he is in his purest form without any external beauty.

Wei Wuxian feels something in his body. He feels that his lower clothes are tightening. He immediately turned his back towards Lan Wangji. He feels that his little dragon has woken up.

"Oh my god! This little shit never awake for any woman after seeing her but it gets eager after seeing Lan Wangji!", Wei Wuxian thinks.

Wei Wuxian immediately runs inside the palace because he doesn't let Lan Wangji know about his hard thing. Otherwise Lan Wangji will get doubt on him.

Lan Wangji sees Wei Wuxian's silly actions. He smirks. He wear his outer and middle white robes enters inside.

Wei Wuxian has calmed himself down. His little dragon again falls asleep.

"Yanli", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian smiles awkwardly and looks at Lan Wangji like a fool.

"Why she is so adorable.", Lan Wangji thinks.

"Hanguang-Jun. I am sorry because I saw you naked. But I didn't see your little lion. I am not lying. I only saw your back and chest.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Hmm!", Lan Wangji replies. He doesn't know what to talk at this moment.

"Hanguang-Jun! I arrived here for a most important discussion. I want your permission. I have got bored in this palace. I want to go to the city. I want to spend some days there. Please..let me go. I came here for your permission.", Wei Wuxian says.

Lan Wangji doesn't reply for sometime. He is thinking

"Okay!", Lan Wangji replies.

Wei Wuxian couldn't believe in his ears.

"Thank you so much. Then I am going today. Can I? Please.", Wei Wuxian says.

Lan Wangji again gets silent and he looks at Wei Wuxian with a different gaze. He nods his head. Wei Wuxian has a big smile on his face. He immediately leaves Lan Wangji's palace.

Lan Wangji's face turns dark.

"Now let's play a game of prey and predator. You are my prey.", Lan Wangji thinks.

____________________

In Caiyi Town
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Wei Wuxian is in a carriage. There are guards around him who are sitting on horses. They have kept swords with them. Wei Wuxian gets irritated by it because he wanted to come alone but Lan Wangji has sent a force if guards along with him.

The man driving the carriage looks back from the corner of his eyes. He is wearing mask on his face. He is Lan Wangji.

"To discover Yanli's secret I have to find everything with my eyes? Who is she? If really Jiang Yanli is in Lanling with a fake name then who is this lady living in my kingdom.", Lan Wangji thinks.

Lan Wangji commands horse to walk slowly because it's the market area.

"Stop now. I want to visit here.", Wei Wuxian says.

Lan Wangji stops the carriage. A maid extends her hand inside the carriage. Wei Wuxian holds her hand and comes out. He has a smile on his face.

Lan Wangji also comes down from the carriage and walks behind Wei Wuxian.

"All are following me! What should I do to meet Jiang Cheng? But where is Jiang Cheng? First I need to find him.",Wei Wuxian thinks.

Wei Wuxian is looking everywhere. In pretext of buying things he visits most of the area of Caiyi Town. All the way Lan Wangji follows him. No one knows that emperor Lan Wangji is also there.

Wei Wuxian sees a familiar figure. He is a man wearing normal clothes. He turns back and looks at the guards. All the guards are behind him.

"Jiang Cheng is here but how to meet him?", Wei Wuxian thinks and gets tense.

Lan Wangji also sees Jiang Cheng in normal clothes. For a moment he couldn't recognise him. When he realises that he is Jiang Cheng then his doubt gets clear that Wei Wuxian has arrived here to meet someone.

Wei Wuxian somehow pretends that he forgets all the guards. He quickly walks away and left his guards behind. Jiang Cheng sees him. He has seen him coming in Caiyi Town in carriage.

Wei Wuxian runs after some time in his heavy royal robes. Jiang Cheng comes to him and pulls him inside a street. Wei Wuxian takes a sigh of relief.

"A-Cheng. I don't have time.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Okay then, we will meet at night. Three kilometers away is a forest. I will be there waiting for you. You can come there anytime.", Jiang Cheng says.

"Okay. Meet you soon.", Wei Wuxian says.

Wei Wuxian comes out of the street from another way. He sees some hens on the ground. He grabs one hen and caresses its head.

Soon many guards along with Lan Wangji appear there. Wei Wuxian pretends to be happy with those hen.

"It's very dangerous for you to be alone in this market. Don't run from the next time.", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian simply nods his head without focusing on the voice. He put the hen on ground.

"I like hens. When I saw hen then I run behind it.", Wei Wuxian says.

"If you want anything then tell us. We are here for you.", A maid says.

"Okay. I will be careful from the next time.", Wei Wuxian says.

Lan Wangji looks around but there is no sign of Jiang Cheng. He understands that something has happened or Wei Wuxian has received message from Jiang Cheng.

"I have to investigate by myself.", Lan Wangji thinks.

Wei Wuxian sits in the carriage. Lan Wangji takes his seat and commands the horse.

"Yanli is in Lanling. A-Xian has gone to a village. Both are far from me. But who is she? Is she the same person whom I met in Yunmeng. Her eyes are same, her gestures, her tone of speaking... Everything is the same!", Lan Wangji thinks.

It's already evening. Wei Wuxian stays in an inn with his guards. His room is big. This inn has been booked for Wei Wuxian for a few days. Lan Wangji has deliberately chosen the next room of Wei Wuxian which is small.

The waiter of the inn serves food and other things in Wei Wuxian's room. The food is delicious. This inn is very popular and big. All the things inside it are very luxury. The food is top class.

Wei Wuxian eat food and take rest. On the other side Lan Wangji is awake. This time he has removed the mask from his face because he is inside the room alone. No one is where to see him.

At midnight Wei Wuxian wakes up. He opens his eyes and sits on the bed.

"It's perfect time. Everyone is sleeping.", Wei Wuxian thinks.

Wei Wuxian takes Jiang Yanli's form. He wears some adjustable clothes which can also fit on his normal form. He slowly opens the door and comes out.

It's a relief for Wei Wuxian that all the guards and maids are sleeping. He takes a deep breath. He nods his head and walks towards the backyard. Lan Wangji didn't sleep. He was sitting in lotus position and kept himself awake. When he heard the door opening sound and footstep sounds he got alert.

Lan Wangji also comes out of the room and follows Wei Wuxian.

"Where is this lady going at midnight? Is she going to meet Jiang Cheng?", Lan Wangji thinks.

Wei Wuxian comes out of the backyard. There is a horse which Wei Wuxian already keeps there for emergency. Lan Wangji also comes out from th backyard. He looks around and sees that horses are sleeping under a shade.

Lan Wangji comes to a horse and wakes up that horse. Then he rides in ir and runs behind Wei Wuxian. They both run in the silent road.

Wei Wuxian doesn't have any idea that someone is following him. Lan Wangji in mask follows him for three kilometers. The forest area starts from here.

"Where's he?", Wei Wuxian thinks.

________________

In Forest
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Wei Wuxian goes deeper into the forest. He looks at the river bank. Jiang Cheng is standing there. It's difficult for Wei Wuxian to take his horse there because the route is not safe for any animal.

Wei Wuxian ties his horse on a tree and walks towards Jiang Cheng. At the same time Lan Wangji reaches there. He sees that Wei Wuxian's horse is tied there.

"Yanli's duplicate is here.", Lan Wangji thinks.

Lan Wangji ties his horse too and walks. He soon goes to an area from which he can listen to the conversations.

Wei Wuxian is still in Jiang Yanli's form. Jiang Cheng gets happy to see him and he spreads his arm.

Wei Wuxian removes his outer robe. Now he is in a man's robe. His body gets tall and masculine. His face changes in orginal face. He is in his real form.

Lan Wangji blinks his eyes after seeing Wei Wuxian shifting his gender. His mouth is open. It seems like he has seen a magic in front of himself.

"Wei Wuxian!", Jiang Cheng says in loud voice.

Wei Wuxian smirks. This time he is looking so hot in Lan Wangji's perspective. Lan Wangji gulps.

"It was him all the time?", Lan Wangji thinks and his eyes get dark.

"A-Cheng! What happened? Why did you tell me to meet you urgently? Is everything fine in Yunmeng?", Wei Wuxian asks.

Jiang Cheng hugs Wei Wuxian first. They both part the hug and sit on river bank. They both are shining in the moonlight. But Wei Wuxian is more beautiful and charming in the moonlight.

"Betrayal!", Lan Wangji mumbles. His grip tightens on the tree trunk.

"Lan Wangji wants to meet Yiling Patriarch. Do something and return to Yunmeng. The Wens have raised their army. They have collected the arms from their allies. They are planning something big. Maybe a war. In Yunmeng we all need you. Also Lan Wangji wants a meeting with Yiling Patriarch and with their army general Zhu Yan.", Jiang Cheng says.

"What? A-Cheng! It's a very serious matter! But it's very difficult for me to come from Cloud Recesses. Lan Wangji is a psycho king. He can do anything. He doesn't even think before a war.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Yes. If Lan Wangji will know the secret then he will attack on us for betrayal. Also Wens will get chance to attack on us. We will be in trouble from both sides. Anyhow we will be able to control Wens but it will get difficult for us to win from Lan Wangji.", Jiang Cheng says.

"A-Cheng! I will try very hard to return back.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Wei Wuxian! A-Xian or Jiang Yanli! Huh! You were living in my palace by shifting your body shape. You will get the punishment for all your doings.", Lan Wangji thinks.

Lan Wangji still doesn't know that Wei Wuxian is Yiling Patriarch. He thinks that Yunmeng needs Wei Wuxian that's why Jiang Cheng comes here to inform him.

"A-Cheng! Shijie is pregnant!", Wei Wuxian says happily.

"Yes! I got a letter from her.", Jiang Cheng replies.

Wei Wuxian gets emotional. He doesn't know when he will get a chance to meet Jiang Yanli again.

"She is living there with a fake name. Lan Wangji shouldn't know about her. I am very afraid if he will know the truth that real Jiang Yanli is in Lanling then what will happen?", Jiang Cheng says.

"Maybe he hasn't seen Shijie clearly. The first day in Yunmeng he saw me. I mistakenly bumped to him when I was running after teasing you. After that Shijie was in her room and with her other friends. I don't think Lan Wangji has seen her.", Wei Wuxian says.

Jiang Cheng takes out a pouch of peanuts. He gives to Wei Wuxian. They both eat the peanut and remember their old memories.

"A-Cheng! There is problem!", Wei Wuxian says.

"What's it? Has Lan Wangji doubt on you?", Jiang Cheng asks.

"No! But... But I came in my original form. I was wandering in the palace in from of a servant. At that day his younger brother Sizhui was also with me. He saw me and got obsessed with me. He also offered me to be his future consort. On one side he wants me, I mean shijie as empress and on other side he wants A-Xian, me as his consort.", Wei Wuxian says.

"I guess he has fallen for both your identities. But it's very dangerous. You can't be available for him in both forms at once.", Jiang Cheng says.

"I don't want to go in front of him in my any identity.", Wei Wuxian says and makes face. He eats peanuts.

"We all are missing you. Even mother is missing you.", Jiang Cheng says.

"Really?", Wei Wuxian asks.

"Hmm!", Jiang Cheng replies.

Wei Wuxian gets sad and makes pout. Jiang Cheng put his elbow on Wei Wuxian's shoulder. They both stay like it and continue their normal conversation.

Lan Wangji tilts his head and an evil smirk appears on his face.

"Wei Wuxian! All the time you played with me. Now I will play with you. I will make you beg in front of me.", Lan Wangji thinks.

After sometime Wei Wuxian gets up with Jiang Cheng. They both give a hug to each other.

"I will return home soon at any cost.", Wei Wuxian says in his serious voice.

Jiang Cheng nods his head. Wei Wuxian fixes his clothes and looks around. He walks away leaving Jiang Cheng there. He unties his horse from the tree and sits on it.

Wei Wuxian wears the outer robe of a lady and turns himself into Jiang Yanli. Lan Wangji secretly comes to his horse. Wei Wuxian comes to the Inn. Lan Wangji comes behind him without letting him know.

_____________

At Inn
°°°°°°°°°°°°

Wei Wuxian returns and comes inside through the backyard. He has tied his horse there. He looks around and walks slowly without letting anyone know. He comes inside his room and closes the door.

Lan Wangji has also come inside. He stands outside Wei Wuxian's room and slightly opens the door. Wei Wuxian removes his outer robe and changes himself into orginal form.

Wei Wuxian took Jiang Yanli's form because if anyone would have seen him inside the Inn in man's form then guards would definitely attack on him. If they would have caught him in Jiang Yanli's form then everyone would believe in what he said.

Wei Wuxian sits on the bed. There's a big smile on his face but then he gets tense. He bites his nail and thinks that how he can escape from Lan Wangji's palace.

Lan Wangji is seeing everything. This time he wants to go inside the room, pin Wei Wuxian on bed and eat him like a hungry dog in return of the betrayal. He isn't letting his dangerous thoughts to win this time. He has a different plan.

Lan Wangji grins. He closes the door and comes to his room. After changing clothes he lies on the bed.

"Wei Wuxian! Jiang Fengmian's adopted son! Oh! Interesting! You can change your gender, shift your body shape and size! Which kind of speciality you have. In this cultivation world form where did you get this speciality!", Lan Wangji thinks.

The whole night it gets difficult for Lan Wangji to sleep. Everytime he thinks about Wei Wuxian, about his betrayal and about his speciality. He is amazed that someone has fooled him too easily? Is he so easy to be fooled? No because he is Hanguang-Jun.

____________
***********

The next day Wei Wuxian goes to the other nearby city area. Lan Wangji is driving the carriage. He also noticing Wei Wuxian's all movements.

Today Lan Wangji has tied his hair in such a way that the front hair are covering his forehead and coming to his eyes. His long hair are on his back. It's difficult for anyone to even guess that he is Hanguang-Jun. He also has a cloth mask on his face.

"Can you tell me the best place where I can have some peace and personal space? I am very tired.", Wei Wuxian asks.

"Hmm! There's a waterfall in nearby area. If you want then you can go there. No one will bother you because guards will be there. The speciality of that place is, it's covered with the forest but there is no harmful animals. Also there's not just one waterfall but there are many waterfalls. It's a big place for enjoyment.", Lan Wangji says.

"It's good. Take me there.", Wei Wuxian says.

Lan Wangji takes the carriage to the waterfall area.

"I want to go to pee too. I'm holding it from a long time.", Wei Wuxian thinks.

______________

In Forest
°°°°°°°°°°°°°

The guards stay a few meters away from the waterfall. Lan Wangji stays there with the carriage. Wei Wuxian gets down from the carriage and walks towards the waterfall. He follows the sound of the river and arrives there.

The place is very beautiful and there are big mountains. Two maids also come with him for his safety.

"You both can do whatever you want but don't bother me. I am going to that side.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Okay madam.", A maid replies.

Wei Wuxian smiles and he goes to the other direction so none of his maids can see him. A waterfall is also there. Wei Wuxian takes a sigh of relief. He looks around.

"Don't come here. I am taking bath.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Okay madam! We will not disturb your privacy.", A maid says.

Wei Wuxian takes out his clothes and two oranges from his chest and comes in orginal form. He is only in his inner man robes. He pees and goes in the water then stands under the small waterfall. He doesn't wear female inner robes because he feels it awkward.

Wei Wuxian closes his eyes. In this cool environment he is getting the peace. His every organ is relaxing. He stays there for a long time.

A person stands behind the bushes and looks at Wei Wuxian taking bath. Lan Wangji goes near Wei Wuxian and hides behind the bushes. He smirks. His eyes fall on the clothes. He takes the clothes leaving nothing there.

Lan Wangji has a mischievous smile on his face. He takes a look of Wei Wuxian and leaves from there.

Lan Wangji secretly hides the clothes in the carriage and comes to the two maids.

"I heard that a wolf is here in this forest.", Lan Wangji says.

"Wolf... Oh no. Madam is taking bath.", A maid says.

"We should go..", Another maid says.

Boht maids go to inform Wei Wuxian about the wolf. Lan Wangji secretly disappear from there.

On the other side Wei Wuxian has taken the bath. His mind is relaxed. He swims to the nearby rock where he puts his clothes. He looks around.

"My clothes! Did they get washed away in the river? What should I wear now?", Wei Wuxian thinks and bites his nails.

Wei Wuxian finds his clothes inside the river but there is nothing. He comes out and finds his clothes in every place. He walks in the direction of the flow of the river. He walks further.

After going further he finds the person who was driving the carriage is sitting there and drinking river water. He doesn't see his face. Only he sees his long hair which are coming to his waist.

Lan Wangji smirks when he feels Wei Wuxian's presence. He already knew it that Wei Wuxian would come there while searching his clothes. He wears mask and turns back. He looks at him from head to toe and gulps. The hotness of Wei Wuxian in wet inner robe and wet hair is mesmerizing.

Wei Wuxian sees that the person is continuously looking at him. Most likely eating him with his eyes.

"What?", Wei Wuxian asks in anger.

"What are you doing here? Aren't you afraid of animals? And most importantly our madam is taking bath here? Did you come here intentionally? What you did to her?", Lan Wangji asks.

"Madam! Oh. I didn't see her. But what are you doing here? Your madam is taking bath and you are here for what?", Wei Wuxian asks.

"She isn't this side. She is that side with her both maids. She told me before coming here. I just came here to drink the water.", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian keeps quiet and folds his arms. He looks at the rocks but his clothes are not there too.

"Did you see any clothes?", Wei Wuxian asks.

"No! Explain me in detail about those clothes.", Lan Wangji asks.

Wei Wuxian opened his mouth but then he closed it.

"If I will tell him the details then he will tell me that why I want a royal clothes...and he will get it that those clothes are of his madam. Oh no...Wei Wuxian...you are in trouble.", Wei Wuxian thinks and gets tense.

Lan Wangji controlled his laugh after seeing Wei Wuxian hopeless. They both heard that someone was coming there. Wei Wuxian hides his body with his hands. Both the maids come there while searching Jiang Yanli.

"Madam!", A maids says.

Lan Wangji takes his outer robe and puts it on Wei Wuxian's body. He can't tolerate if anyone will see Wei Wuxian in this condition.

"Thank you.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Did you see our madam?", A maid asks.

"No. I came here to drink water. As I told you that a wolf is here. We need to be more cautious.", Lan Wangji says.

The maid looks at Wei Wuxian.

"I am getting doubt on both of you. Where is our madam?", The maid asks.

"Maybe she is playing with us. You know that madam is so mischievous.", Lan Wangji says.

"Want if a wolf has hunter her?", The maid says.

"No. It can't happen. Her clothes are also not here.", The other maid says.

Both maids think for a while. They can't lose their madam otherwise Hanguang-Jun will punish them. They both get very tense.

"Listen! Don't get tense. Your madam is here. Where will she go? Find her. Maybe she is playing or doing rest on the tree. She is a mischievous lady. And I just heard people saying the wolf is here. I am not confirmed too about it. Rarely people see animals in this area. I have already inquired about this place before coming here if it's safe or not.", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian stares at Lan Wangji.

"Okay. We will find her.", The maid says.

"I have seen you in the palace!", The other maid says.

"No... Me... No..no... I live in Caiyi Town with my parents. I never went to the palace. I don't know anything about it.. maybe you have misunderstood.", Wei Wuxian says immediately.

"I also thought when I saw him. Maybe I saw him in Madam's quarter. A servant!", The maid says.

"Noooo! Why are you lying?", Wei Wuxian asks and gets tense.

Lan Wangji is enjoying after putting Wei Wuxian in trouble.

"He and in palace.. impossible. Look at him. From where he looks capable for the servant!", Lan Wangji says.

"Hey. Are you making fun of me?", Wei Wuxian asks.

"No. I am telling the truth. They won't chose a person like you as servant. Even I also get doubt on you. But that boy was prettier whom I saw in the palace with Prince Sizhui.", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian clenched his fist. All three are bothering him. He gets irritated. He has lost his clothes and no one of them is letting him go from there.

"You shouldn't waste your time. Go.", Lan Wangji says to the maids.

The maids immediately leaves from there and search Jiang Yanli in the forest. Wei Wuxian takes a sigh of relief. He turned towards Lan Wangji.

"Tell me please.. did you see any clothes? Please. I am requesting you. I will give you money. Please tell me. It's very important. My clothes...", Wei Wuxian says and makes a pout.

"I didn't see them.", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian thinks a lot. Lan Wangji removes his outer robe from Wei Wuxian's body and wears it.

"Can you give me your clothes. Please! I mean I just want your outer robe to cover my body.", Wei Wuxian says.

"I will not give you. It's mine.", Lan Wangji says.

"I am telling you. I will give you a gold coin. Please give me an outer robe.", Wei Wuxian says.

"A gold coin for an ordinary outer robe.", Lan Wangji says.

"Please. What do you want from me? Do you want me to beg? I have lost my clothes. Please..don't tease me. Please... whatever your name is...", Wei Wuxian says.

"Okay! Don't cry. I am giving you.", Lan Wangji says teasingly.

Lan Wangji gives his outer robe to Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian gets happy and a big smile appears on his face. He comes to Lan Wangji but his foot slips due to which he falls into his arms. Lan Wangji catches him.

Wei Wuxian immediately pushes him. Before leaving him from arms Lan Wangji pinches on Wei Wuxian's waist. Wei Wuxian stares at him.

"What behavior is this?", Wei Wuxian asks and rubs his waist.

"Your waist it so slim...so perfect.", Lan Wangji says teasingly and comes closer to Wei Wuxian.

"Pervert! Stay away from me.", Wei Wuxian says.

Wei Wuxian immediately wears the outer robe and runs immediately.

"My gold coin.", Lan Wangji says loudly.

Wei Wuxian doesn't reply and goes far. Lan Wangji removes his mask and he laughs for sometime. It's very rare when he laughs.

On the other side. Wei Wuxian comes towards the carriage. He sees that all the guards and maids are there. He bites his nails.

"My clothes!", Wei Wuxian thinks.

Wei Wuxian again goes to the waterfall area and sees that his clothes and two organs are on the rock. He gets shocked and looks around.

"Did someone prank with me?", Wei Wuxian thinks.

Wei Wuxian takes his clothes and goes inside the bushes.

Wei Wuxian returns to the carriage. This time he is holding Lan Wangji's outer robe. Both the maids are standing there. Their stress disappears when they see their madam.

"Madam! Why did you get late?", The maid asks.

"I was sleeping.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Oh! From the next time must inform us. You know that Hanguang-Jun is very protective for you. If something will happen to you then he will kill us.", The maid says.

"I am all fine.", Wei Wuxian replies.

Wei Wuxian goes to Lan Wangji who is standing near the horse. He gives the outer robe to him.

"It's mine! Who give this to you?", Lan Wangji asks.

"I met a man. He told me to return your robe and this coin to you.", Wei Wuxian says. He also gave a gold coin to Lan Wangji.

Lan Wangji nods his head.

"Return to the Inn. I'm tired.", Wei Wuxian says.

Lan Wangji nods his head.

__________

At Inn
°°°°°°°°°°°

At night Wei Wuxian had dinner then he sleeps in the room. He is in orginal form because he thinks that no one will come in his room to check. If someone has to come then they will knock first.

The door opens and Lan Wangji comes inside the room. He has removed his mask. He doesn't need this time.

Lan Wangji carefully closes the door and comes to Wei Wuxian's bed. He lies beside him and cuddles him after turning him towards himself.

Lan Wangji added medicine in Wei Wuxian's food that's why he is sleeping. Lan Wangji admires Wei Wuxian's face and then moves his fingers on his nose.

"Wei Wuxian! If you are here for other reasons rather then a fake Jiang Yanli then it's not good for you. If you are here just to be in Jiang Yanli's form then it's okay...But if you are playing any trick against me after living here then I will punish you with my hands.", Lan Wangji mumbles.

Lan Wangji kisses on Wei Wuxian's lips. He tastes both his lips and breaks the kiss. He nibbles his nose with Wei Wuxian's nose.

"My Wuxian is so innocent or not I will know it later.", Lan Wangji mumbles.

After two hours Lan Wangji returns to his room.

___________
***********

The next day after breakfast Wei Wuxian meets his maids.

"I am sleeping. I am very tired and my body needs rest. No one from you will disturb me. No one will ask me for food and water. Stay outside my room. I am sleeping and don't make noise to bother me.", Wei Wuxian says.

All the maids and guards obediently follow the orders. Lan Wangji understood that Wei Wuxian has some planning.

Wei Wuxian comes into his room. He opens the closet and takes out his robes. He smiles and touches them.

After sometime Wei Wuxian comes out from the window and jumps off from the backyard. He is finally far from the Inn.

__________________

In Market
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Wei Wuxian has a pouch of money. He has kept them inside his robes. He is wearing black and red robes and making a ponytail. There's a red ribbon on his hair.

Wei Wuxian is looking everywhere. After a long time he is very comfortable in his orginal form. He doesn't need to fake as a princess. He is a man and he is doing whatever he wants.

Wei Wuxian has a cheerful smile on his face. First he ate the spicy street food which he missed a lot. He bought something for himself.

Wei Wuxian stops in front of a shop and sees different kind of flute. He remembers about Lan Wangji.

"Do you want to buy it?", Lan Wangji asks. Today he is again wearing the mask and hides his eyes with the hair.

Wei Wuxian turns behind and finds the similar figure in front of him.

"You!", Wei Wuxian says shockingly.

"Hey! Yesterday I forgot to ask your name.", Lan Wangji asks.

"Why do you want to know my name?", Wei Wuxian asks.

"I will tell you mine.", Lan Wangji says.

"A-Ying.", Wei Wuxian says.

"A-Ying, A-Xian, Wei Wuxian! How many names you have. You are not so innocent as I thought.", Lan Wangji thinks.

"And yours.", Wei Wuxian asks.

"A-Zhan.", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian notices that Lan Wangji is wearing the same outer robe which he was wearing yesterday.

"Yesterday why did you run?", Lan Wangji asks.

"Because your intentions weren't good.", Wei Wuxian says.

"But I have good intentions for you. You can give me a chance.", Lan Wangji says and again he pinches Wei Wuxian's waist.

"Ouch. You pervert! Stay away from me.", Wei Wuxian says with red face.

Wei Wuxian walks and doesn't look behind.

"His voice is similar like Lan Wangji's voice. But why Lan Zhan will come here? What he will get? He has lots of imperial work. He will do his imperial work rather then wasting his time here. And why he will wear a servant's clothes.", Wei Wuxian thinks.

"A-Ying. Stop! Let's talk.", Lan Wangji says while following Wei Wuxian.

Wei Wuxian turns behind and shows his tongue to Lan Wangji. He is teasing him. Lan Wangji gets started to see that Wei Wuxian showing him tongue.

"No!", Wei Wuxian says.

"Why?", Lan Wangji asks.

Wei Wuxian folds his arms. Lan Wangji looks at him. Wei Wuxian pouts. His gesture is so hot. It's getting hard for him to tolerate this much hotness of Wei Wuxian. He feels that his breathing is slow.

"Because I belong to someone else.", Wei Wuxian says.

Lan Wangji widens his eyes.

"Who is that lady?", Lan Wangji asks. He can't tolerate Wei Wuxian with anyone else. He will handle his all mischievous but he can't give him any other's hand.

"It's not lady... But a man.", Wei Wuxian says.

Wei Wuxian walks again and tries to go away from Lan Wangji. Lan Wangji again follows him. Wei Wuxian comes in the peaceful area. Lan Wangji also comes there. Wei Wuxian looks at him irritatedly.

"Why are you following me?", Wei Wuxian asks.

"I like you.", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian makes a face and looks away.

"Listen first thing.", Wei Wuxian says and again looks at Lan Wangji.

"I am already in relationship with a man. You don't know anything about him. If he will know that you have your eyes on me then he will kill you.", Wei Wuxian says and points his finger on neck.

"Is he a heartless?", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian thinks and puts his hand under his chin.

"Umm! Yes and no... He is not what he look. He is kind too. He cares about his elder brother a lot. He loves me but he is obsessed with me too. He likes it when I prepare tea for him, he likes it when I play flute for him. Truly I like to spend every evening with him.", Wei Wuxian says. This time he is lost in thinking about Lan Wangji.

Wei Wuxian has a cute smile on his face. Lan Wangji is feeling great that Wei Wuxian has feelings for him. He never confesses to him but he is talking about him.

Wei Wuxian finds a place and sits under the tree. Lan Wangji sits under the other tree. Wei Wuxian is thinking about Lan Wangji and Lan Wangji is looking at him.

"Tell me more about him.", Lan Wangji asks.

"Other women tries to impress him which I don't like. But he kicks me... Even he likes my both identities.", Wei Wuxian says with a pout.

"Is he handsome?", Lan Wangji asks.

"Of course!", Wei Wuxian replies.

Lan Wangji doesn't ask anything. He opens a pouch and takes out fresh fruit.

"Do you want it?", Lan Wangji asks.

"No! Maybe you have put something in it.", Wei Wuxian says.

Wei Wuxian gets up and walks away. Lan Wangji closes the pouch and walks behind Wei Wuxian. After that they both walk together. They come to the village side.

Wei Wuxian sees that kids are playing. Lan Wangji walks with him.

"Why are you following me everywhere? Don't you have work?", Wei Wuxian asks.

"No! Madam is sleeping so I am free.", Lan Wangji says.

"If your Madam will demand to go somewhere then how will you reach there at time?", Wei Wuxian asks putting both his hands on waist.

"I know when madam will wake up.", Lan Wangji says.

"Huh!", Wei Wuxian says.

Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji walk in the village and see the village lifestyle. Women are doing their work. Men are doing agriculture. Kids are playing and some are helping their parents.

"Will you give us water?", Wei Wuxian asks a woman.

The woman gives water in two cups to Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian drinks the water but Lan Wangji doesn't drink it. He has mask on his face.

"What happened?", Wei Wuxian asks.

"I am not thirsty.", Lan Wangji replies.

Wei Wuxian takes the cup from Lan Wangji's hand and drinks it. He was thirsty but now he is feeling better.

Some people are grinding wheat to turn it into flour. Wei Wuxian takes interest in it and he also goes there. Lan Wangji again follows him.

Wei Wuxian looks at the flour which is already prepared. It's very hard work to grind flour. He realizes it.

"A-Zhan! Don't you suffocate in that mask?", Wei Wuxian asks.

"No.", Lan Wangji replies.

"Why are you wearing it?", Wei Wuxian asks.

"Because I don't like to show my face.", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian gets a naughty idea. He wants to see the face behind this mask. He immediately extended his hand to Lan Wangji's mask and grabs it.

Within a second Lan Wangji turns his face away. At the same time a person was walking from the same direction with flour on a plate. They both collapse and Lan Wangji's face turns white due to the flour.

Lan Wangji's coughs and fog of flour comes out of his mouth. All the people looks at him and starts laughing. Lan Wangji turns to Wei Wuxian.

At first Wei Wuxian gets shock and the other second he bursts out laughing very loudly by holding his tummy. No one is able to see Lan Wangji's face due to the flour.

"A-Zhan... Y...you ... You are the most funniest ghost which I have ever seen... *laughs crazily*..... Y...you are... you are extremely funny.... *laughs again*.... I... I am sorry but... But it's so funny.", Wei Wuxian says and again laughs loudly.

Wei Wuxian sits on the floor and holds his tummy more tightly. He isn't even able to open his eyes clearly due to laughter.

"How dare you? It all happened because of you.", Lan Wangji says by showing anger.

"Look at him.", A person says.

"His face is covered with flour.", the other person says and laughs too.

All the‌ people laughing. The kids starts making fun of Lan Wangji. The women are giggling and holding their laughter. Only Wei Wuxian is there who is laughing crazily.

"Ghost!", A kid says. He laughs and runs away.

"Ghost...ghost.", The other kid says. All the kids are making fun of Lan Wangji.

Lan Wangji ignores everyone and focuses on Wei Wuxian. He sees how he is laughing! His eyes stuck on him and a smile appears on Lan Wangji's face.

Lan Wangji looks at the plate which is falling on the ground. It still has some flour which is wastage now. Lan Wangji holds it in his fist and applies it on Wei Wuxian's face.

Wei Wuxian widens his eyes in shock. Lan Wangji has turned his face white with the flour. Now the women also started laughing. The kids surrounded Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian and makes fun of them.

"Two ghosts.", A kids says and makes fun of them.

"A-Zhaaan!", Wei Wuxian shouts.

Lan Wangji runs. Wei Wuxian gets up from the ground and runs after Lan Wangji. They both run from here to there. Everyone is enjoying after seeing them. It's a very joyful moment for everyone. Just two strangers have made them laugh.

Lan Wangji goes to nearby pond and washes his face.

Before Wei Wuxian could see Lan Wangji, he wore his mask. Wei Wuxian also comes there.

"Now enough!", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian takes a long breath. He is very tired because all the time he was chasing Lan Wangji. He washes his face.

"Why don't you show your face?", Wei Wuxian asks.

"I have a mark on my face.", Lan Wangji replies.

"Ooh! I'm sorry.. if you had told me earlier then I wouldn't remove your mask.", Wei Wuxian says.

"It's alright!", Lan Wangji replies.

Wei Wuxian giggles when he remembers Lan Wangji's white face.

"Why are you laughing?", Lan Wangji asks.

"G..ghost!", Wei Wuxian says and laughs again.

"You!", Lan Wangji warns.

Wei Wuxian runs. This time Lan Wangji runs behind him. After sometime Wei Wuxian disappears from his eyesight and returns to the inn.

When Lan Wangji couldn't find Wei Wuxian in the market then he also returns to the inn.

At Inn
°°°°°°°°°°°

At night Lan Wangji again mixed sleeping medicine in Wei Wuxian's food. When Wei Wuxian sleeps after dinner then Lan Wangji secretly arrives in his room and closes the door.

Lan Wangji touches Wei Wuxian's forehead. He smiles and lies beside him. He oves his thumb on his lips and then puts his own lips on Wei Wuxian's lips. Lan Wangji pulls the upper lip by putting it in between his teeth. After leaving upper lip, he holds the lower lip and sucks it. For five minutes he plays with Wei Wuxian's soft lips. This time Wei Wuxian is in its original form.

"Wei Wuxian! I don't want to take your advantage like this..but you have forced me to do this. I am addicted to you.", Lan Wangji says and nibbles his nose with Wei Wuxian's nose.

Lan Wangji sighs. He cuddles Wei Wuxian and admires his pretty face. He doesn't care of Wei Wuxian is pretty for anyone or not but for Lan Wangji, Wei Wuxian is the most beautiful art in this world.

"Mine!", Lan Wangji mumbles.

"I am going to play a trick with you. I want you to speak the truth by yourself. If you don't want to tell anyone then it's okay.. but must tell me. I want to listen from you.", Lan Wangji says.

Lan Wangji interwinds his fingers with Wei Wuxian's long fingers. He feels that Wei Wuxian's body is not soft. Wei Wuxian's body is hard and he has muscles too.

"You are strong! I wonder! Can you give birth because you can change your gender...but I think you completely doesn't change your gender because you use organes instead of real breast. But if you can get pregnant then I am willing to have our children.", Lan Wangji thinks.

Lan Wangji caresses Wei Wuxian's cheeks. After sometime he leaves Wei Wuxian on the bed and comes out of the room

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

The next day Wei Wuxian returned to the palace at evening. He was tired that's why he goes in his quarter and takes a long sleep.

Lan Wangji comes into the imperial palace and asks the minister about the work. He checks his imperial work because it's necessary. Everyone thought that Lan Wangji was in his palace for past three to four days. No one knows that he was in Caiyi Town with Wei Wuxian.

___________
**********

The next day Lan Wangji comes in Wei Wuxian's quarter to meet him. Wei Wuxian is talking to Xiao Yu.

"How are the prince's legs?", Wei Wuxian asks.

"He is moving his foot. There's slow movement on his knees. In two months he will stand in his legs. After that he will start walking.", Xiao Yu says.

"You have a great knowledge. When we will return Yunmeng then I will give you the higher post.", Wei Wuxian says.

Xiao Yu doesn't want to go to Yunmeng because she has started liking Lan Xichen. She just nods her head.

"What happened? Are you sad?", Wei Wuxian asks.

"Nothing!", Xiao Yu replies.

"I am not in his fate. He is prince and I am a normal maid. He will never love me. When he will get cured then someone will come in his life for him.", Xiao Yu thinks.

"Who said you are going to Yunmeng?", Lan Wangji asks.

Wei Wuxian widens his eyes and looks at the door. Lan Wangji steps inside. He was standing at the door and listening to the conversation.

Wei Wuxian gets up and he greets Lan Wangji. Lan Wangji sits with him. He signs Xiao Yu with his hand to leave the room. Now only Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian are in the room.

"How was your experience in Caiyi Town?", Lan Wangji asks.

Wei Wuxian smiles. He takes out a pouch and gives it to Lan Wangji.

"I enjoyed a lot. Why don't you visit the city? It's really amazing.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Umm. Someday! Is it for me?", Lan Wangji asks after opening the pouch.

"Yes! I brought it for you.", Wei Wuxian says.

There's a jade jewellery in the pouch. Wei Wuxian gets up and comes near Lan Wangji. He ties the jade in Lan Wangji's waist belt. Lan Wangji held his hand.

"Hanguang-Jun! Leave my hand.", Wei Wuxian says.

Lan Wangji pulls Wei Wuxian onto his lap. He closes his eyes and hugs him.

"Hanguang-Jun! Leave me...", Wei Wuxian says.

"I want something from you.", Lan Wangji says.

"Yes, I know. You want to impregnate me.", Wei Wuxian says.

"No! But something else. I want A-Xian! Whenever he is, tell him to return to the palace. I have important work from him.", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian gets up from Lan Wangji's waist and sits on his place. He stares at him.

"Are you gay? Why do you want him? Are you betraying me?", Wei Wuxian asks.

"No! He plays good flute that's why I want him so he can play flute for me.", Lan Wangji says.

"You have so many artist. Tell them. They will play music for you. Why only A-Xian. He is going to the village and I don't know the village name.", Wei Wuxian says.

"If he will not come then I will send my guards to search him. I will send my guards to Yunmeng. Maybe they know about him. I have made his painting which exactly looks like him.", Lan Wangji says.

"Yunmeng....no!", Wei Wuxian mumbles.

"If he will ask in Yunmeng about me, then he will know that A-Xian is Wei Wuxian! And I won't be able to present there at correct time. Only my family, Xue Yang and Xiao Xingchan knows that I can shift my body size and gender...other then no one knows. The truth will come to Lan Wangji. Oh no... I have to handle this situation. I can't let him send his guards to Yunmeng.

"What are you thinking?", Lan Wangji asks.

"H...Hanguang-Jun! A-Xian doesn't have any history of his existence. He lives in orphanage.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Then I will ask in that orphanage. I want to investigate about him. He has disappeared without telling anyone except you.", Lan Wangji says.

"Okay... Don't investigate... I will search him by myself. I...I will search him. Okay!”, Wei Wuxian says.

Lan Wangji grins. He moves his hand on the jade which Wei Wuxian gifted him.

"The fish is in my trap. I will make you spit the truth.", Lan Wangji thinks.

"If I will return to him in the form of A-Xian then he will again try to make physical relationship with me... Last time I escaped somehow but it's getting very difficult now.", Wei Wuxian thinks.

"I want tea.", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian prepares tea for Lan Wangji and himself. Lan Wangji takes a sip. He has missed the tea these days.

"I want him in a few days.", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian bites his nails. Lan Wangji then leaves the quarter. Wei Wuxian roams in the room. He holds in head and finally sits on a chair.

"No....no.. why me?", Wei Wuxian mumbles and makes a crying face.

"Lan Wangji has fixed a meeting with Yiling Patriarch but I am here. What should I do. I have to be present for Lan Zhan but how will I go to Yunmeng?", Wei Wuxian thinks.

Lan Wangji comes into the assembly hall. He talks with the ministers and discusses about the economy of the kingdom and compares it with neighboring countries.

____________
***********

Lan Yi arrives at Wei Wuxian's quarter to meet him. Wei Wuxian greets her and invites her inside. They both sit. Wei Wuxian prepares tea for her. It's the first time when Lan Yi is tasting the tea.

"Umm! Tasty.", Lan Yi says.

"Hanguang-Jun also likes this tea.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Yanli. Today I want to discuss with you about marriage. Marry my son Lan Wangji. He loves you. He has never shown any interest in anyone except you. He loves you. Be the empress by marrying him.", Lan Yi says.

"Madam! I will think about it.", Wei Wuxian replies.

"You are eligible to give birth to heir.", Lan Yi says.

"Madam. Okay... I will think about it.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Hmm. I want result very soon. I don't want more delay.", Lan Yi says.

"By the way prince, I mean your elder son has started moving his legs. Maybe he will give his heir soon.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Yes. I met him yesterday. These days he starts smiling and showing his emotions. Otherwise he locked himself in his palace. He was aloof. But these days he has turned cheerful. He likes Xiao Yu, I think. If he wants then I will make him his consort.", Lan Yi says.

"Hmm! If Xiao Yu and prince likes each other then it's better they marry. I will not force her to leave for Yunmeng. It's her wish whoever she wants to marry. But it's my request, if they both like each other then don't let prince to marry other. Xiao Yu should be one and only for him. Please.", Wei Wuxian says.

Lan Yi hesitates because Xiao Yu is just a maid. But her skills have created a new hope of life inside Lan Xichen. She has cured his legs. Wei Wuxian can sense the density of Lan Yi's silent nature.

"I will ask Xichen.", Lan Yi says.

"Hmm!", Wei Wuxian replies.

___________
***********

At every evening Lan Wangji arrives at Wei Wuxian's quarter for tea. He doesn't force him to come closer.

After a few days Wei Wuxian changes himself into his original form. He wears the dress of a maid and goes towards Lan Wangji's palace.

Wei Wuxian is very scared. He has guessed that Lan Wangji will shout at him, punish him or maybe something bad. He gulps.

"Is Hanguang-Jun at palace. Tell him that A-Xian has arrived to meet him.", Wei Wuxian says.

The first informs Lan Wangji. Lan Wangji let him come inside the palace. Wei Wuxian walks inside the palace and stands at hall. Lan Wangji comes there with his cold face and dangerous aura.

"Leave all of you.", Lan Wangji says to all his servants and guards who are in the hall.

All the servants and guards leave the hall. Wei Wuxian is trembling at his place. He doesn't have the courage to look into Lan Wangji's eyes. Lan Wangji takes a step towards him. Wei Wuxian feels that he is going to fall on the floor.

Lan Wangji takes another step and he grabs Wei Wuxian's arm. His grip is very tight. Wei Wuxian groans in pain and looks into Lan Wangji's eyes.

"Why did you leave me without informing me! Do you know how much I waited for you?", Lan Wangji asks while showing anger on face.

"H... H... Hanguang-Jun! I.. I went to the village to see my sick friend.", Wei Wuxian says.

"But Yanli told me that you were going to establish your life there.", Lan Wangji asks.

"H...H...Hanguang-Jun!", Wei Wuxian says.

"What?", Lan Wangji shouts.

"I am sorry..I am sorry..i didn't inform you. But it was necessary for me to go.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Why?", Lan Wangji asks.

"Because you always come closer to me. Whenever you see me then doesn't let any chance to touch me.", Wei Wuxian says.

Lan Wangji pulls Wei Wuxian more closer and holds his jaw. He looks into his eyes. Wei Wuxian avoids eye contact and looks down.

"A-Xian! You will live in this palace with me. I will not let you go anywhere. From today you will live here.", Lan Wangji says and he smirks.

Lan Wangji has a different plan. If he will keep Wei Wuxian in his palace then Wei Wuxian will not be able to go to his quarter and he will speak the truth when he will get into the trouble.

"Nooo... Hanguang-Jun! it's not possible for me to live here. Please. I will appear in front of you whenever you will desire and you will call me... But l can't live here.", Wei Wuxian says.

"It's my final decision and you can't go against the decision of a king.", Lan Wangji says.

Lan Wangji pecks on Wei Wuxian's lips and then he leaves his jawline. Their lips are still touching. Wei Wuxian pushes Lan Wangji and looks at him with narrow eyes.

"You said you like me then why you want to marry princess Yanli! How can you like two people at once?", Wei Wuxian asks.

"Are you jealous? I can feel it in your voice. By the way I am emperor. I can marry whoever I want by either hook or crook.", Lan Wangji asks.



Wei Wuxian gets flinched. He looks away. He is irritated now.

"Take your all the stuff and live here in my palace. I will not listen to any excuse. And most importantly. I think you have forgotten about me. Let me remind you. I am emperor Hanguang-Jun! It's my kingdom and I can do whatever I want. If anyone goes against me then he or she will have to face the harsh punishment or death.", Lan Wangji says.

Lan Wangji stares at Wei Wuxian.

"I am emperor. Then show some respect towards me. I am Hanguang-Jun!", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian nods his head. He realizes that he can't argue with an emperor because at this moment Wei Wuxian is a servant in Lan Wangji's eyes.

"Go and shift your stuff in my palace.", Lan Wangji says in commanding voice.

"Princess Yanli won't agree.", Wei Wuxian says.

Lan Wangji held Wei Wuxian's wrist. He takes him out of the palace.

"Hanguang-Jun! Where are you taking me?", Wei Wuxian asks.

"I will talk about you in front of her. She has to accept. Let's meet her.", Lan Wangji says.

Lan Wangji knows very well that what is he doing. He knows that Jiang Yanli isn't in her quarter. Wei Wuxian trembles and stops. Lan Wangji turns towards him.

"Okay Hanguang-Jun! No need to talk to princess. I will live in the palace.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Good!", Lan Wangji replies. He takes Wei Wuxian into the palace.

"But I want freedom. Please give me some freedom so I can go out of the palace.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Okay.", Lan Wangji replies.

Wei Wuxian takes a sigh of relief. He returns to his quarter and packs some of his necessary things. He has only one pair of clothes. He tells a servant to buy a pair of servant's clothes.

Wei Wuxian then shift his necessary stuff into Lan Wangji's palace. Lan Wangji gives him a big room. Wei Wuxian adjusted his stuff in the room. He sees that the bed is too soft. The room has many expensive things.

Suddenly Lan Wangji hugs Wei Wuxian from behind. He licks his tongue. Wei Wuxian closes his eyes due to sensation in his body.

"We will live here in our secret relationship. When I will marry Yanli then afterwards I will make you my consort.", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian doesn't say anything. He stays quiet but eyes fill up with tears. It's the first time when he is getting so much jealous. Even jealous of his Yanli's form. Lan Wangji can see Wei Wuxian's face.

"Are you sad? Do you want to say anything?", Lan Wangji asks.

"Hanguang-Jun! Princess will never accept you.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Then I will make the other women empress. What about Liling? You can also give me suggestions. Liling is my first concubine. She is talented and has good knowledge of everything.", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian clenches his fist and lowers his head. Lan Wangji is enjoying after teasing Wei Wuxian. He can feel that Wei Wuxian is jealous.

"Marry whoever you want.", Wei Wuxian says boldly.

Lan Wangji smirks. Wei Wuxian gets free from Lan Wangji's cage and goes inside washroom. He leans on the wall and takes heavy breath.

"He said he likes me then why he agrees to marry other ladies. He likes me then why he wants to make others his empress! Huh!", Wei Wuxian thinks.

Wei Wuxian wipes his tears. He pretends to be normal. He stays inside and then comes out. Lan Wangji isn't there. Finally he is alone in the room.

"Plan something so you can escape from here! Lan Zhan doesn't like you. He has twisted mind and he isn't sure about his own feelings. He doesn't like you Wei Ying! Forget about him and move on. He is the emperor, he has many concubines and in future he will have an empress and concerts too. He even can take a mistress for himself who can pleasure him. You are nothing for him. You are here just for his entertainment. When he will get bored if you then he will maintain distance from you. It's truth. The truth is bitter.", Wei Wuxian thinks.

**********

Wang Lingjiao comes into concubines' quarter. She has a dangerous plan in her head. They all sit together.

"You! Here! What's the matter Lingjiao? What kind of help you want from us?", Zi Xuan asks.

"It's better if we all work together to eliminate Jiang Yanli from our way.", Wang Lingjiao says.

"How? She has always had lots of guards with herself. It's impossible to go in her quarter at night. Also she is clever.", Fang says.

"It's really important to eliminate her from our way.", Lan Lingjiao says.

"I have an idea. I am willing to tell you so we all can work together!.", Lan Lingjiao says.

"What's it?", Another concubine asks.

"We will burn her alive. I want your help. If she will due then we will not have any competitor.", Lan Lingjiao says.

Everyone agrees. The plan is perfect but they have to shape it. Lan Lingjiao tells her plan in detail. She has a devil smirk.

"Great idea. It's necessary to eliminate her. After that we can continue our struggle for the position of empress. But we don't want her.", Fang says.

In Cloud Recesses
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Wei Wuxian stays in the palace because he isn't allowed to go out without Lan Wangji's permission. He is getting late for his quarter. If he will not arrive there at correct time then guards will search him. If Jiang Yanli will be missing then it can create a great trouble in whole palace.

Wei Wuxian gulps. He gets an idea. He writes a letter. He sees a guard and gives the letter to him.

"When Hanguang-Jun will come to the palace then give him this letter. Please, don't forget.", Wei Wuxian says.

The guard nods his head. Wei Wuxian finally goes inside the room and locks the door. He goes towards the window. There's garden behind his room. He jumps off the window and comes out. Wei Wuxian changes his face into a servant's face. He is already in a servant clothes that's why no doubts on him. He easily comes out of trh palace after changing his face.

Wei Wuxian returns to his quarter. In pretext of meeting Jiang Yanli he goes inside the room. He takes out all his clothes and wears the royal clothes of Jiang Yanli. He applies some makeup.

"Now! Hanguang-Jun will not doubt on me.", Wei Wuxian thinks.

Lan Wangji returns to his palace after completing his work. He wants to have some rest with Wei Wuxian. The guard gives him a letter. Lan Wangji takes it.

"Hanguang-Jun! I am sorry but I am very tired. I want to do some rest. I won't be able to talk to you. Please don't disturb me. After a long journey I arrived Cloud Recesses due to which my body is exhausted and my legs don't have energy to walk. I have eaten food. Don't get worried about me. I just want some rest. I hope you will understand.", Wei Wuxian has written in the letter.

Lan Wangji looks at Wei Wuxian's room. He tries to open it but the room is locked from inside.

"A-Xian! Open the door! A-Xian!", Lan Wangji says.

Lan Wangji doesn't get any response from Wei Wuxian's. He gets more doubts. Lan Wangji goes to the backyard. He can see the window of Wei Wuxian's room are opening here. Lan Wangji goes to the window and opens it.

Lan Wangji looks inside. Wei Wuxian isn't there! He smirks.

"Playing with me! Now pay the consequences!", Lan Wangji says.

Lan Wangji immediately goes for Jiang Yanli's quarter. He knows that he is going to find Wei Wuxian there in Jiang Yanli's form.

Wei Wuxian is telling work to the maids. At meanwhile Lan Wangji arrives there with his guards. The guards stay outside but Lan Wangji comes inside.

"Hanguang-Jun! You are welcome.", Wei Wuxian says with a smile.

"Jiang Yanli! I am surprised to see you here!", Lan Wangji says.

"Why? It's my quarter and I am supposed to be here only. Right!", Wei Wuxian replies.

Lan Wangji takes his seat. Wei Wuxian tells the maids to leave and he himself prepares the tea for the emperor.

"So clever!", Lan Wangji thinks.

"Hanguang-Jun! Why are you surprised to see me here?", Wei Wuxian asks.

"I heard that you aren't here. I mean you are with your friends.", Lan Wangji says.

"Here I don't have any friends.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Leave it!", Lan Wangji says.

Lan Wangji thinks and he remembers something.

"Day after tomorrow is family banquet.", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian gets surprised and nods his head. Lan Wangji notices Wei Wuxian's face and then his eyes. His eyes never change whenever he shifts his shape.

"By the way did you meet A-Xian?", Wei Wuxian asks.

"Yes! He will live in my palace as my personal entertainer. I want him.", Lan Wangji says.

"Hanguang-Jun! You have many weird thoughts. Don't you think? You can have many flute players but why only him, why you only allowed him to live in your palace. Aren't you aware of the gossips which will spread in the whole palace?", Wei Wuxian asks.

"I don't care. I am the king and I can do whatever I want.", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian makes a weird face and glares at Lan Wangji.

"When you have planned about the meeting with Yiling Patriarch?", Wei Wuxian asks.

"Day after tomorrow we will be in family banquet. The next day of it Yiling Patriarch and Zhu Yan will have meeting in the border. I have already cleared everything with Jiang Cheng.", Lan Wangji says.

"I have to run from here but how? Yanli and A-Xian can't be missing at the same time otherwise Hanguang-Jun will get doubt. Oh god, please help me.", Wei Wuxian thinks.

"Leave those things. Don't take interest in wars and all. We will definitely kill all the wens.", Lan Wangji replies.

Wei Wuxian nods his head. Lan Wangji returns to his palace after tea. Wei Wuxian bites his nails. He gets an idea.

"I have to go to the palace! If Hanguang-Jun will try to meet me then what will happen? He is so stubborn. I can't believe on him that he will not try to open the door. Already he has so much dirty thoughts for my A-Xian's personality.", Wei Wuxian thinks.

"Yu, come here.", Wei Wuxian's says.

Xiao Yu comes to Wei Wuxian.

"I am tired. I am going inside the room for rest. I will take my meal inside my room. Okay! Take care that no one should bother me.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Okay princess. I will take care of it.", Xiao Yu replies.

Wei Wuxian comes inside his room with a food plate. He finishes it and then changes his clothes and shape. Wei Wuxian returns to Lan Wangji's palace.

Wei Wuxian jumps inside the room. He takes a relief breath. He comes to the door. His hands tremble and he unlocks the door. He comes on the bed and lies down.

"If Hanguang-Jun will see me then he will not get doubt on me. Maybe he will try to come inside the room.", Wei Wuxian thinks.

After sometime Lan Wangji comes to the backyard. He looks at the window. He comes near it and opens it. Wei Wuxian is lying on the bed but his eyes are open. Lan Wangji immediately closes the window.

"Wei Wuxian! You are so clever. How can you manage to be present at both places at the same time? Tomorrow I will close the window so you will not be able to go anywhere.", Lan Wangji thinks and grins.

____________
***********

The next day at morning time Lan Wangji sat son in his seat. Wei Wuxian sits on front of him with a flute. Then he plays flute for the emperor.

"Come here!", Lan Wangji says and he points on his lap.

"Pervert!", Wei Wuxian thinks.

Wei Wuxian sits on Lan Wangji's lap without any argument. Lan Wangji kisses on the flute and gives it to Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian holds it and plays it.

Lan Wangji's more focus is on Wei Wuxian rather then his flute. He observes him from head to toe. He pinches his cheeks. Wei Wuxian stopped playing flute due to sudden touch.

"Don't stop.", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian gulps and plays the flute again. Lan Wangji moves his fingers on Wei Wuxian's neck. Then he takes th finger behind his earlobe, behind the neck and finally he grabs his hair in his fist.

"Hanguang-Jun!", Wei Wuxian says after stopping the music.

Lan Wangji pulls Wei Wuxian on his shoulder. He attached his lips with Wei Wuxian's lips. Wei Wuxian closes his eyes and tightens his grip on the flute. Lan Wangji holds the flute and throws it away.

"I am jealous of it!", Lan Wangji says in between the kiss.

"Of whom?", Wei Wuxian asks.

"The flute. You always kiss it, your lips always touch it. The flute is so grateful because you hold it in your hands.", Lan Wangji says. He is losing his sense.

Lan Wangji pulls the cloth of the table. The table gets clear. Lan Wangji pushes Wei Wuxian on the floor and pins his head on the table. He comes over him and nibbles his nose with Wei Wuxian's nose.

Wei Wuxian is only taking heavy breaths. He is losing his control from his body due to sudden closeness of Lan Wangji. Lan Wangji held the bottle of wine. With one hand he removes Wei Wuxian's belt. Wei Wuxian held his large hand.

"N...no!", Wei Wuxian says.

"Shhh! Feel this!", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian gets quiet. Lan Wangji removes Wei Wuxian's outer robe, middle robes and then finally he removes his inner robes. He rubs his lips on Wei Wuxian's chest. He kisses his nipples.

Wei Wuxian grabs Lan Wangji's hair. Lan Wangji takes his nipple in his mouth.

"Hanguang-Jun! D..don't!", Wei Wuxian says with a moan.

Lan Wangji tickles the nipple with his tongue and he leaves it. Wei Wuxian's face is red. Lan Wangji glares at him with his dark eyes. He poured the wine on Wei Wuxian's chest. Wei Wuxian's eyes get wet due to pleasure and he moans.

"Aah... Stop! Hanguang-Jun... Ummhhh!", Wei Wuxian moans.

Lan Wangji put the bottle of wine aside. He licks Wei Wuxian's chest and tastes the wine. Then he licks his belly and whole upper body with his tongue. Wei Wuxian held Lan Wangji's hair with one hand and grabbed the edge of the table with the other hand. He has lost his senses.

"Mmhhh.. Lan er gege! Please stop! Mmh....", Wei Wuxian says with difficulty.

Lan Wangji doesn't respond. Suddenly he grabs Wei Wuxian's dick from outside of his clothes. Wei Wuxian opens his mouth like a fist.

"Aaahh... Huh!", Wei Wuxian moans.

Lan Wangji rubs his hands on Wei Wuxian's dick. Wei Wuxian is in cloud nine. Tears slip from the corner of his eyes. Lan Wangji captures both his lips and from hsi hands he gives pleasure to Wei Wuxian by outside of the clothes.

After sometime Wei Wuxian release his semen in his clothes. His face flushes dark red. Lan Wangji's eyes meet with him. Wei Wuxian's grip loosens on Lan Wangji's hair and the edge of the table.

Lan Wangji understood that Wei Wuxian has released his cum. He grins.

"I think you have done something shameful! Right.", Lan Wangji says.

"N..no!", Wei Wuxian replies and avoids the eye contact.

Lan Wangji can't tolerate this much cuteness. His Wei Wuxian even can't lie. He chuckles and kisses on his lips.

"Mine!", Lan Wangji says as he leaves Wei Wuxian. He creates distance with him.

Wei Wuxian drops the clothes on his body. He can feel wetness in between his thighs.

"You can go wherever you want.", Lan Wangji says.

Wei Wuxian gets up and quickly walks inside the room. He closes the door and lies on the bed, covering his face on the pillow. His little dragon again gets head after thinking about Lan Wangji's hotness.

"I couldn't deny him! Why? I'm getting intoxicated!", Wei Wuxian thinks and moves shis lips on his fingers.

Lan Wangji is also hard. He comes in his room and calms himself with his own hands. He takes the name of Wei Wuxian when he moans.

At noon time Lan Lining and Lan Zu Xuan arrive Wei Wuxian's quarter. Wei Wuxian didn't want but still he welcomed both the trouble inside his quarter.

Lan Liling and Lan Zi Xuan have a smile on their face and gifts on their hand. They extended the gifts to Wei Wuxian.

"Yanli! We are sorry for our past rude behavior with you. Please forgive us. Now we have understood that you doesn't have any interest in Hanguang-Jun. We will never bother you again.", Lan Liling says.

"Yanli. Forgive us please! Let's become friends now. It's time to create a new relationship now. We should forget our past bad experiences.", Lan Zi Xuan says.

Wei Wuxian gets doubt on both of them. How they can turn 360° in sometime. He can't believe in them.

"Please forgive us.", Lan Liling and Lan Zu Xuan say and they both lower their heads.

"It's okay... It's okay. I forgive you.", Wei Wuxian says and he accepts the gifts by both the concubines.

"To know their next move I have to be their friend.", Wei Wuxian thinks.

"Really! We are friends now! Right!", Lan Liling day and she smiles.

Wei Wuxian nods his head. Lan Liling held his hand.

"I will tell other concubines to end the rivalry and become friends. You are just like us. It's better to be friends.", Lan Zi Xuan says.

Wei Wuxian nods his head. Then both the concubines talk with Wei Wuxian for two hours. Wei Wuxian feels that his ears will bleed if both concubines will continue their talk. His voice is so loud. Wei Wuxian has to tolerate it.

"Yanli! Come to our quarter. Today have lunch with us. Please. We will be sure that you have really forgiven us.", Lan Zi Xuan says.

"Lunch! Are they planning to kill me by adding poison in the food. If this then I will not go.", Wei Wuxian thinks and he gets doubt.

"Please come. Don't hesitate. If you have doubt on us then you can inform Hanguang-Jun.", Lan Liling says.

Wei Wuxian agrees and nods his head. He is ready to go to their quarter. They all come out. At the same time Mian Mian comes there with her guards.

"Lady Yanli! Are you fine? Are these good for nothing concubines bothering you? What are they doing in your quarter?", Mian Mian asks.

"Mian Mian! Why you always come in between our plan? We have already apologized to Yanli. Now she is our good friend. We have invited her for lunch in our quarter.", Lan Liling says and she tries to show that there's good relationship in between her and Jiang Yanli.

Mian Mian looks at Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian nods his head and signals her to stay calm. Mian Mian understands the assignment and she doesn't ask any questions.

"I will come with you too.", Mian Mian says.

"Of course. You can. We will not add poison in Yanli's food.", Lan Zi Xuan says.

Mian Mian stands beside Wei Wuxian. Lan Liling glares at her and then they all walks towards the quarter of other concubines. Mian Mian tells the guards to follow them.

"Why are you believing in them?", Mian Mian asks.

"I don't believe in them. I want to know what's their next move.", Wei Wuxian says.

Mian Mian understands everything. She supported Wei Wuxian in his plan. They both arrive the quarter of other concubines.

"Come inside.", Lan Liling says.

Wei Wuxian and Mian Mian go inside. All the concubines come there to look at them. They don't have any smile on their face after seeing Jiang Yanli there.

"Listen everyone. From today Yanli is our friend. No one will disrespect her and no one will either treat her badly. She is our friend.", Lan Liling says.

"Yes! Now come here one by one and apologize to her for your past bad behaviour. Now we need to change our relationship.", Lan Zi Xuan says.

Everyone obediently listen to the elder concubines and they apologize to Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian has forgiven them. They respect him and tell him to sit. Mian Mian sits beside Wei Wuxian.

They all have normal conversation. They laugh and everyone joins and talks to Wei Wuxian. After that the maid prepares lunch and prepares first plate for Wei Wuxian.

Mian Mian takes a piece of food from Wei Wuxian's plate and gives it to Lan Liling to taste it. Lan Liling doesn't hesitate and eats it.

"What's this Lan Qingyang! Do you really think we would add poison in Yanli's food.", Fang says.

"I can't trust you.", Mian Mian replies.

"Thanks.", Wei Wuxian says with a smile.

Mian Mian mids her head. After that a maid serves food to everyone. Mian Mian exchanges her food with other concubine's food.

Wei Wuxian thanks the concubines for delicious lunch. Then he leaves the quarter with Mian Mian and guards. Mian Mian looks at Wei Wuxian.

"Don't truat on them. They will not think twice before destroying you.", Mian Mian warns Wei Wuxian.

"I know. Don't worry about me. Thanks for helping me and supporting me.", Wei Wuxian says.

Mian Mian smiles. She is doing everything because Jiang Yanli is favorite of his brother Lan Wangji. She wants to protect her from other evil concubines. She knows the politics very well.

Today at evening Wei Wuxian followed the same routine. First he arrived his quarter and tells the maids not to disturb him. Then he jumps out of the window of his room and comes to Lan Wangji's palace.
Lan Wangji knows everything. Wei Wuxian is so clever that he is able to cross all the barriers.

____________
**********

The family banquet day comes. The hall is decorated. All the Lan family members arrive in the hall. Lan Wangji is sitting on his king seat. Everyone is coming inside, greeting him and sitting on their seats.

Lan Wangji has already sent Zhu Yan for the meeting in the border of Yunmeng and Gusu. Zhu Yan is on his way with his guards.

Wei Wuxian arrives in the hall with Xiao Yu. He tells her to take a seat. It's a family banquet but still Wei Wuxian let Xiao Yu to come inside the hall and Lan Wangji agrees for it.

Today Wei Wuxian is slaying in Jiang Yanli's form. Lan Wangji is wearing the jade jewellery on his waist belt.

Lan Qingyang, Lan Yi and Wei Wuxian have special seats. Lan Sizhui arrives in the hall. He sees Wei Wuxian and goes to him. He bends down.

"Wei Wuxian! I heard that you are living in brother's palace in A-Xian's form.", Lan Sizhui says shockingly.

"It's true. You know what? Your brother forced me to do everything. He said that he will investigate about A-Xian in Yunmeng. He also has made my painting. That's why it was only option for me to return back.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Oh! I thought you will never come in your original form. Now how are you planning to run?", Lan Sizhui asks.

"I have a plan.", Wei Wuxian says and he winks.

"What's it?", Lan Sizhui asks.

Wei Wuxian tells his plan to Lan Sizhui. Lan Sizhui agrees to help him. Then he sits on his seat. Lan Wangji has noticed them from the beginning when Lan Sizhui talked to Wei Wuxian. But he couldn't listen anything.

All the Lan family members are in the hall except Lan Su She and Lan Bingyi. Lan Sizhui misses his brother but he stays strong. He knows that his brother has misunderstanding regarding Lan Wangji. He is trying to solve it since many months.

The family banquet starts. The food is served to everyone. Wine is also served to the family members. Wei Wuxian drinks two cups of wine. Lan Wangji looks at him surprisingly.

Everything goes smoothly. After family banquet all the family members talked. Wei Wuxian sits beside Lan Wangji and serves him wine.

"Yanli! Do you like to drink wine?", Lan Wangji asks.

"Yes! It's my favourite.", Wei Wuxian replies.

"We will drink in secret!", Lan Wangji whispers in Wei Wuxian's ears.

Wei Wuxian blushes but then he makes his stiff face.

"Hanguang-Jun! Where is A-Xian!", Wei Wuxian asks.

"He is not a royal family member. That's why he is in my palace.", Lan Wangji says. He knows they both are lying. They both continue to tease each other.

"Yu!", Lan Xichen says.

Xiao Yu looks at Lan Xichen. Lan Xichen has a warm smile on his face.

"I am feeling lonely here! I want your company.", Lan Xichen says.

Xiao Yu blushes and comes to Lan Xichen. She gives him company. Lan Yi and Lan Qingheng-Jun are observing them.

"Madam! Someone wants to meet you. She is saying that she is your old friend. She has arrived here from Yunmeng.", A maid says.

Wei Wuxian nods his head. He looks at Lan Wangji.

"Hanguang-Jun! Give me permission.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Hmm!", Lan Wangji replies.

"I don't know when we will meet again. But it's necessary for me to go. I think my fate isn't with you. If you will know my truth then you will get crazy. I don't want to tell anyone about my shape shifting quality. It should be secret in only few people. Good bye.", Wei Wuxian thinks.

Wei Wuxian comes out of the hall. The maids take him into a guest quarter. She tells him to wait there. Wei Wuxian sits on the bed. The maids leave the room.

Wei Wuxian heard the sound of door lock from outside. He gets up from his seat and goes towards the door. He tries to open it but the door is closed.

From two sides the fire catches the wooden objects. The curtain catches the fire and within some moment everything starts burning.

"Open the door!", Wei Wuxian shouts.

The room fills with smoke. Wei Wuxian coughs and beats the door. He even kicks the door but nothing works.

At the other side Lan Wangji is waiting for Wei Wuxian. It's been a long time Wei Wuxian hasn't returned back. Some guards arrive in the banquet in hurry.

"Hanguang-Jun!", A guard says and lowered his head.

"What happened?", Lan Wangji gets up from his seat.

The guards are here in a hurry. It means something has happened.

"Madam... Madam had gone to the guest quarter to meet her friend. But someone locked the quarter from outside. Madam stayed inside. Someone set the room on fire. When we realised that smoke was coming out of the room, we went towards the door. We saw that the room was locked from outside. The fire was very intense.", The guard says.

Everyone gets shocked and looks at the guards. Lan Wangji throws the table with his one hand and he growls. He holds his sword and quickly walks towards the guest quarter.

"Is she safe?", Lan Wangji asks.

"No! She ....she is no more!", Rhe guard says.

Lan Wangji stops and grabs the neck of the guard. There's anger in his eyes. His hand shivers and he throws the guard into the ground.

"It can't happen!", Lan Wangji says and his voice gets heavy.

"We will see when we will go there. Wangji don't waste time.", Lan Qingheng-Jun says.

Lan Wangji walks fast towards the guest quarter. His long hanfu is waving on the air. He has a cold expression on his face., fist clenches. There's only one thing in his mind that nothing should happen to Wei Wuxian.

Lan Wangji arrives the guest quarter with his father, mother and guards. He gulps when he sees black smoke coming from the quarter. He takes a slow step and then stops.

"No!", Lan Wangji mumbles.

Wei Wuxian's all memories come in his mind. Wei Wuxian is so funny, cute, mischievous. At this moment Lan Wangji doesn't want to think anything bad.

Few people took out two burnt bodies from the quarter in a stretcher. Everyone gets shocked. Those people put the burnt dead bodies on the ground. Lan Wangji looks at the body closely. Even the clothes have burnt completely. Nothing is left.

"Your highness! We found it near the dead body.", A guard says.

Lan Wangji looks at it. It's a ring which Wei Wuxian was wearing. Lan Wangi notices the height of the burnt dead body. First is similar to Jiang Yanli and other is similar to Wei Wuxian's height.

"Who is the other one?", Lan Wangji asks.

"Maybe maid!", Lan Sizhui says.

"It means Wei Wuxian was in real form! Or the other one is maid! Or maybe Wei Wuxian was in Yanli's form and the other one was maid!", Lan Wangji thinks and gets confused in both dead bodies.

"She is dead!", Lan Yi says.

Lan Wangji looks at the door and finds that Lan Sizhui is standing there and giving instructions to the guards.

"Sizhui! From when are you here?", Lan Wangji asks.

Lan Sizhui turns to Lan Wangji.

"Wangji ge! I am here from long time. When I heard the news about fire then I immediately came here. I heard that she was screaming. I tell the guards to extinguish the fire but it gets too late. The fire was huge and destructive. It destroyed everything.", Lan Sizhui says.

Lan Wangji grabs Lan Sizhui's shoulder.

"Are you sure it was her scream? It can't happen!", Lan Wangji says.

"Yes! I witnessed everything.", Lan Sizhui says.

Lan Wangji leaves Lan Sizhui's shoulder and closes his eyes. Tears drop from his closed eyes. Everyone lowers their head because their emperor is crying for the first time.

"Wei Wuxian!", Lan Wangji thinks and feels sharp pain in his heart.

"It's a dream... It's a bad dream!", Lan Wangji mumbles.

Lan Sizhui held Lan Wangji.

"Brother! Don't become weak.", Lan Sizhui says.

Lan Yi and Lan Qingheng-Jun looks at their son worriedly. They know that how much he loves that lady. Now nothing can happen.

"We have to inform in Yunmeng!", Lan Yi says to Lan Qiren.

"Hmm! I will send them a letter.", Lan Iqren replies.

"Hanguang-Jun! I know who did it!", Suddenly Lan Lingjiao says while coming there with ten concubines.

Lan Wangji glares at Lan Lingjiao. Everyone looks at her.

"Who?", Lan Wangji asks with a growl.

Lan Lingjiao turns to the concubines. All the concubines get shock. Lan Lingjiao points her finger towards them.

"These all planned to burn Yanli. Your all concubines made friendship with Yanli. They were finding a chance to kill her by getting closer to her. When they didn't get any idea then they played this heinous trick.", Lan Lingjiao says.

All the concubines get shock.

"No! We didn't kill her!", Fang says.

"She is lying.", A concubine says.

"Hanguang-Jun! We are innocent. Lingjiao is lying.", Liling says.

"Keep quiet!", Lan Wangji shouts.

Mian Mian comes in front of Lan Liling and slaps her.

"I already knew it that you are playing a conspiracy against Jiang Yanli!", Mian Mian shouts in anger.

"Brother! Whatever Lingjiao said is truth. Your all concubines tried to trap Yanli in their friendship. I guessed it that they were planning something against her. They were never nice to Yanli and always bullied her. Suddenly their behavior changed that's why I had doubt on them. They all have killed Yanli.", Mian Mian says.

Lan Wangji trusts in Mian Mian because earlier she also protects Wei Wuxian from getting bullied by these concubines. Those concubines once even tried to burn his face.

Lan Wangji's blood boils. His eyes turn red in anger.

"Guards! Imprison all the ten concubines. Don't give them food and starve them to death.", Lan Wangji says in his deep and dangerous voice.

All the concubines shout and ask for forgiveness. The guards don't listen to them. No one tried to save them. The guards handcuff those concubines and put black cloth on their faces. Then they take them to the prison.

"Finally my competitors have eliminated! First Yanli and then all the ten fucking concubines. I am sorry everyone (concubines) because I lied to you. I faked to be your supporter in killing Yanli.", Lan Lingjiao thinks.

Lan Lingjiao planned everything with the concubines about how to kill Yanli. Lan Lingjiao had another plan too. She already decided to punish the concubines by trapping them too.

Lan Sizhui takes Lan Wangji to his palace. The family banquet stops. Lan Sizhui then tells Lan Xichen about Yanli's death. Lan Xichen gets the biggest shock. When Xiao Yu knows that her princess is dead then she cries a lot.

In Woods
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

A horse is running fast. There is a person sitting on it who is wearing red and black clothes. There's tension on his face. Yes, he is Wei Wuxian.

"I am sorry Hanguang-Jun but it was the only way. I will not return to you. I am sorry! But my motherland is more precious for me. I have to return to protect it. I hope you will never know the truth about my shijie's marriage. It's the end of our story.", Wei Wuxian thinks.

There are tears in Wei Wuxian's eyes. He has feelings for Lan Wangji but to protect Yunmeng he has to go. He doesn't want to lie anymore.

Wei Wuxian stops his horse. He takes out a jade hairpin form his robe. He kisses the hairpin and puts it on his ponytail. It's very precious for him because Hanguang-Jun gave it to him.

Wei Wuxian gives the command to his horse and the horse again starts running. The route is long. Wei Wuxian has kept food and water with him. He is greatful to Lan Sizhui because he helped him.

Actually Wei Wuxian already heard the concubines planning. He already thought to run when the concubines would try to burn him in the guest quarter. Today Wei Wuxian told his plan to Lan Sizhui and Lan Sizhui arranged few things for him and become a witness of Jiang Yanli's death. They burned two prisoners and put their bodies inside the quarter. So Lan Wangji will think that A-Xian also died in that fire after seeing similar body size of A-Xian.

Wei Wuxian reaches the border of Yunmeng and Gusu the next day. He already saw Zhu Yan and his soldiers taking rest at night. That's why Wei Wuxian didn't stop and he completed the journey before Zhu Yan.

Wei Wuxian has reached the border. He wear mask. Luckily Xue Yang is also there with lots of army in camps. Wei Wuxian gets off from the horse. The soldiers recognize Wei Wuxian. They all bowed to him.

"Where is Xue Yang?", Wei Wuxian asks.

A soldier informs Xue Yang about Wei Wuxian. Xue Yang immediately comes out of a camp and goes to Wei Wuxian. They both hug each other. After a long time they both are together.

"Are you alright?", Xue Yang asks and observes Wei Wuxian from head to toe.

"Yes! I am fine. I have cleared everything.", Wei Wuxian says.

"What happened? Tell me!", Xue Yang asks.

Wei Wuxian says with Xue Yang and he talks to him. Then they both discussed about the plan. Wei Wuxian takes bath and has some rest because his journey was continuous. His horse also takes rest.

At noon Zhu Yan along with his army arrives to the border. Yiling Patriarch along with his army gets ready for the meeting. They all discuss the plan against Wens.

According to their plan they will not wait for Wens to attack. They will attack first. Wei Wuxian and Zhu Yan get agreed. They both put high level of security on Gusu and Yunmeng borders to Wens will not be attack on them. Xue Yang has already collected the huge army. Zhu Yan send a soldier and tells him to invite the army for war.

In Qishan
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Zhu Yan and Yiling Patriarch together break the border of Qishan. The army encroaches in the border area and kill the army of Wens. Their attack is very harmful. Xue Yang attacks on the Wen army to give space to Yiling Patriarch and Zhu Yan.

The war is getting longer. A week has passed. But Yiling Patriarch's and Zhu Yan's army is very strong and big in number.

Yiling Patriarch and Zhu Yan defeats the army of Wens and claims the major cities under themselves. Then they reach Wen's palace. Yiling Patriarch kills Wen Chao and Wen Ruohan. Zhu Yan kills Wen Zhuliu and Wen Xu.

In the last Wen Ning and Wen Qing left. They both are innocent and they were never involved in any war. It's Yiling Patriarch and Zhu Yan's great victory. So, the Qishan will divided into two parts. One will go to Gusu and other will go to Yunmeng.

Yiling Patriarch and Zhu Yan divides the territory by simple line of rock. They put their nation's flag on both the sides. Zhu Yan smiles after looking at Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian nods his head. They did it. The plan of attack was sudden but they were already prepared for it.

Wen Ning and Wen Qing are now in Yunmeng's land.

"Yiling Patriarch! I want a permission?", Wen Qing says.

"Yes!", Wei Wuxian replies.

"Due to war most things have destroyed. Many arried women get window and many children lost their father in the war. I want to handle this area and support the people who have lost their son, father, husband in the war. I want a request, please tell the emperor to take a look of this site. So, he can feel our pain and support us economically.", Wen Qing says.

"Hmm! You can come to Lotus Pier with me.", Wei Wuxian says.

"Thank you Yiling Patriarch.", Wen Qing says.

"You can take rest in our palace.", Wen Qing says.

***********

"Ok! Thanks.", Wei Wuxian replies.

From two weeks he was in the war and finally he gets relief. At night Wei Wuxian and Zhu Yan take rest in the palace. Their rooms at separate.

At midnight Wei Wuxian heard some noises. He walks up and comes out of his room. The noise gets louder. It seems like Wen Qing is crying.

Wei Wuxian wears his mask and comes into the hall. The guards are outside Wen Ning's room. Wei Wuxian can hear Wen Qing's crying voice from her brother's room. He goes towards him.

"Yiling Patriarch! What happened?", Zhu Yan asks.

"I don't know.", Wei Wuxian replies.

"What's happening?", Xue Yang asks.

"Let's check!", Wei Wuxian replies.

Wei Wuxian goes inside the room and gets shock. Lan Su She is grabbing Wen Ning's neck and his sword is on his neck. Wen Wen Qing is crying for her brother.

"He was in the prison!", Wei Wuxian thinks after seeing Lan Su She.

"Su She!", Zhu Yan shouts. He grabs a sword.

"Leave him!", Wei Wuxian shouts.

Lan Su She was about to cut Wen Ning's neck but before it Zhu Yan throws his sword on his arm. Lan Su She's arm falls on the floor and his shoulder bleeds.

Wei Wuxian runs to Lan Su She and he cuts his neck with a sword. The head and body of Lan Su She falls on the floor. Wen Ning is safe. Wen Qing hugs her brother.

"Thank you both of you.! Thank you so much!", Wen Qing says ans cries.

"What was he doing here?", Zhu Yan asks.

"H...he worked for my uncle. He sent the information of Cloud Recesses to my uncle. He escaped from the prison of Cloud Recesses and came here. He wanted to rule in Gusu that's why he worked for my uncle for power.  In this war he escaped. When I give permission to both of you to stay in the palace that's why Su She gets aggressive. He thought we helped you in the war. It's the reason he tried to kill my brother.", Wen Qing says.

"Everything is fine!", Wei Wuxian says.

"Thank you both general Zhu Yan and general Yiling Patriarch.", Wen Ning says.

"It's okay!", Zhu Yan replies.

"Go to sleep.", Wei Wuxian says.

Wen Ning goes into the other room. Wen Qing returns to her room. Wei Wuxian glares at the head of Su She and then he also returns in his room.

***********

At morning time Wei Wuxian wakes up late. After two weeks he got a better sleep. He freshen up. Wears his clean armor and mask. Now he is ready to return to Lotus Pier.

Wei Wuxian opens a box and takes out the jade hairpin. After seeing it he remembers about Lan Wangji. His grip tightens on it. He really misses that arrogant king. His heart has become so stubborn that he always thinks about him.

Wei Wuxian wears the hairpin on his ponytail.

Wei Wuxian gets a surprise when he comes in the meeting hall. Jiang Cheng is there. Wei Wuxian gets very happy and he hugs his brother.

"A-Cheng! I missed you so much.", Wei Wuxian says.

"I missed you too! Now it's time to go home.", Jiang Cheng says.

Wei Wuxian smiles. Wen Wing gets happy to see them. Jiang Cheng looks at her and she blushes. It's the first time when she is blushing with someone's presence.

Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng talk in a room and Wei Wuxian tells him everything that how he escaped from Cloud Recesses. He tells his adventurous story. He also tells how Lan Wangji used to flirt with him. He tells the story of A-Xian too. Jiang Cheng laughs and giggles. Then Wei Wuxian tells about Lan Sizhui that he also helped him in escaping.

At breakfast time Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian have breakfast in a room. Jiang Cheng takes a sigh of relief after seeing Wei Wuxian. He has missed this trouble a lot.

Wei Wuxian receives a butterfly message. He gets surprised to see it. Jiang Cheng also sees the butterfly in Wei Wuxian's hand.

"What's it?", Jiang Cheng asks.

"Butterfly message. Sizhui has sent to me.", Wei Wuxian says and reads the message.

Wei Wuxian gets up from his seat after reading the message. He is so much tense.

"What happened?", Jiang Cheng asks.

"Lan Wangji is arriving to Lanling! Maybe he got doubt that Shijie is there! He is going there with his army.", Wei Wuxian says and trembles.

"No! Shijie is pregnant! If he will see her in Lanling then he will create disaster!", Jiang Cheng says.

"I am going there! I will not let anything happen to Shijie.", Wei Wuxian says.

"I will come too.", Jiang Cheng says.

Wei Wuxian nods his head. They both come in the hall. Wen Qing and Zhu Yan look at them.

"Actually it's time for us to go.", Jiang Cheng says.

"You can stay here for more!", Wen Qing says.

"It's very urgent now. We will stay someday. But today we have to go at any cost. We have an important work.", Jiang Cheng says.

"Yiling Patriarch! You are going too!", Zhu Yan asks.

"Yes!", Wei Wuxian replies.

"I want Su She's head!", Wei Wuxian says.

"But why?", Wen Qing asks.

"It's something personal!", Wei Wuxian says.

Everyone gets shocked. What Wei Wuxian will do with that head. But Wen Qing agrees. A person gives Su She's head to Wei Wuxian. It's wrapped in a bag.

"It's time for us to go. We are getting late.", Wei Wuxian says.

Wen Qing agrees. She looks at Jiang Cheng. Jiang Cheng also looks at her.

Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng come out of the palace. Xue Yang is confused. He doesn't know about the situation.

"Xue Yang! Hanguang-Jun has arrived to Lanling with his army. E have to go there at time. You go Lotus Pier with the remaining army.", Wei Wuxian says.

"What? Hanguang-Jun is going to Laling! But why?", Xue Yang asks.

"Maybe he gets doubt.", Jiang Cheng says.

They both ride on their horses. Then they start their way to Lanling. They have to reach there soon. A troop also follows them. Other returns to Yunmeng with Xue Yang.

________________

In Lanling
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

After a few days of journey Lan Wangji with his huge army arrives Lanling. There's cold expressions on his face. He is still in sorrow of losing Wei Wuxian. He always wears the jade jewellery which Wei Wuxian brought for him.

Lan Wangji has arrived here for the war. He thinks whatever happened to Wei Wuxian is because of Jiang Yanli and Jin Zixuan. Also Lanling is secret Allie of Yunmeng. That's why Lan Wangji wants to conquer the kingdom.

Lan Sizhui is also with Lan Wangji. He has arrived here to save Jin family from his brother. He knows that he is going against his brother but it's the only way. Also he loves Jin Ling who is most precious for him. He can't marry his lover because Lanling is enemy country. But he doesn't want to lose him.

Lan Wangji's huge army attacks everywhere and destroy everything except the citizens. The Jin army attacks Lan Wangji's huge army. Their war is neutral but within few hours Lan Wangji starts winning. He cuts everyone with his sword.

There's no emotions inside Lan Wangji. He is like straight cold face arrogant king. His aura is enough to scare anyone. He is killing everyone mercilessly.

Lan Wangji arrives the palace of Lanling with his army. Still his army is huge and strong. Anyhow he breaks the strongest barricade of Jins and enters inside.

Inside the palace Jiang Yanli gets afraid. Hanguang-Jun is here and if he will see her then he will know the truth. Jiang Yanli gets panic. She is pregnant and she doesn't want to lose her unborn child.

Lan Wangji's guards handcuffs the royal members and collects them in the ground. Lan Wangji imprisons Jin Zixuan. Some guards find Jiang Yanli and imprison her too. Jin Zixuan and Jiang Yanli are also taken in the ground. They both are in the middle and other royal family members are far.

Lan Wangji glares at Jiang Yanli and Jin Zixuan. He held his sword. The tip of trh sword touched the ground. Lan Wangji walks due to which the sword make noise.

"Jiang Yanli! Right!", Lan Wangji says and comes closer to her.

Jiang Yanli lowers her head. Lan Wangji doesn't feel anything for her. She isn't even 1% of Wei Wuxian. It irritates Lan Wangji a lot. There's nothing similar in Wei Wuxian and Jiang Yanli.

Wei Wuxian always dared to look into Lan Wangji's eyes without fear. Jiang Yanli seems weak. It's irritating Lan Wangji.

Jin Zixuan's parents and all the royal family members get surprised to hear Jiang Yanli's name from Lan Wangji's mouth.

"She is not Jiang Yanli.", Madam Jin says.

"She is!", Lan Wangji shouts.

"Brother! She is pregnant! Please spare her.", Lan Sizhui says.

Lan Wangji looks at Lan Sizhui with his dangerous eyes. Lan Sizhui shivers.

"How do you know?", Lan Wangji shouts.

"I... I heard from few maids when they were running for protection.", Lan Sizhui says.

"You both cheated on Hanguang-Jun! Now pay the consequences!", Lan Wangji yells and he put the sword on Jiang Yanli's neck.

The ground fills with silence. The tip of the sword is on Jiang Yanli's neck. Sweat slips from Jiang Yanli's forehead. Soon tears start falling from her eyes. She tightly grabs Jin Zixuan's hand because she thinks that it's the last moment of her life. With one hand she held her belly.

In the silence everyone hears the running sounds of horses. The Lan guards get alert. From the main entrance two dominant personalities enter the ground by holding swords in their hands. Behind them is a troop.

Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng have arrived Lanling. Wei Wuxian takes out Lan Su She's head from the bag and throws it on Lan Wangji's foot. Lan Wangji looks at Su She's head. He thought Su She was in the prison.

Lan Wangji then looks at Yiling Patriarch and Jiang Cheng. They both stop their horses and come down. They both walk in a rhythm towards Lan Wangji.

Lan Wangji gets shocked to see the hairpin on Yiling Patriarch's ponytail. His frozen heart beats again. Yiling Patriarch comes closer to him and glares into his eyes.

"Hanguang-Jun!", Wei Wuxian says in anger. He is angry because Lan Wangji has imprisoned everyone and wants to kill Jiang Yanli.

Lan Wangji looks into Wei Wuxian's eyes, he notices his aura. Same eyes, same aura, same strength, same voice! Lan Wangji smirks and then chuckles like a psycho. He has understood.

"A-Cheng! A-Xian!", Jiang Yanli says and gets emotional. Now she has hope to live.

"Leave my jie jie!", Jiang Cheng says.

Lan Wangji doesn't respond because his eyes are still scanning Wei Wuxian from head to toe.

"Leave everyone. Hanguang-Jun!", Jiang Cheng says.

"You all were playing with me! You send someone else in front of Jiang Yanli to Cloud Recesses. You all have betrayed me. Hiding identities and playing tricks all the times. Huh!”, Lan Wangji says and takes a heavy breath.

"Jie Jie has always loved Jin Zixuan. She never loved you. She never wanted to be your wife! It's her choice whoever she wants to live and marry.", Jiang Cheng says.

"Betrayal betrayal betrayal! Now see the consequences.", Lan Wangji says and kills a soldier with his sword.

Jiang Yanli shouts in fear.

"Shijie!", Wei Wuxian says and gets panic.

"Don't do this! My jie jie is pregnant! Have some mercy on her.", Jiang Cheng says.

"In one condition! Yiling Patriarch has to fight with me! He is known for his bravery and strength. Now I will see what he can do for his kingdom! If he will lose then I will kill everyone in Jin family. If I will lose then... Then it's up to you!", Lan Wangji says.

Yiling Patriarch flinches. He has to fight with Lan Wangji. His hand trembles and looks at Lan Wangji with his big eyes. Still these eyes are filled with innocence. Pearls like tears are shining in it. Lan Wangji clenches his fist after seeing this creation in front of him.

Lan Wangji put his sword near Wei Wuxian's face.

"Competition should be fair!", Lan Wangji says and he cuts the thread of Wei Wuxian's mask.

The mask falls down. Wei Wuxian's face is clear to everyone. Wei Wuxian glares at Lan Wangji. The wind blows and both of their hairs flot in the wind.

"A-Xian! Wei Wuxian! Yiling Patriarch! A-Ying!", Lan Wangji says and a creepy smile appears on his face.

Lan Wangji takes a step closer to Wei Wuxian. His hands wants to hold this waist and never want to leave him again! He has lost him once but doesn't want to lost him twice!

"Or Jiang Yanli!", Lan Wangji mumbles.

Wei Wuxian widens his eyes due to shock. It means Lan Wangji knows everything! But how? All the questions come in Wei Wuxian's head. Before he could process Lan Wangji attacks on him.

Wei Wuxian comes out of his thoughts and defends himself. He doesn't want to attack. But Lan Wangji is attacking on him and Wei Wuxian is defending himself.

"He knows! How? Did he see me changing myself!”, Wei Wuxian thinks. His focus is diverted.
