Jiang Cheng looked at Wen Qing and said:

"Qing, how will you even help Wei Wuxian? Nobody could help him, I had to send my dogs away because of him!"

His voice was a bit angry, Wen Qing held his hand and said:

"Cheng, I didn't try to help him yet."

Jiang Cheng gasped and said:

"You mean, you may try?"

Wen Qing noded and said:

"Yes, I may try, who said I can't try?"

Jiang Cheng nodded and kissed her hand before she left.

Wen Qing saw Jiang Yanli coming from Wei Wuxian's room and she asked:

"Shijie, is he awake?"

Jiang Yanli nodded and said:

"Yes, A-Yuan is with them too."

Jiang Yanli then delicately walked to the throne room to help with the preparations. Wen Ning almost bumped into Wen Qing, he said:

"A-jie, I was looking for you, Master Wei?"

Wen Qing sighed and said:

"A-Ning, don't run around, you are like A-Yuan, he is fine, he is awake, come with me."

Wen Ning nodded and followed Wen Qing. Shortly after they arrived in the room, they saw A-Yuan sitting on Wei Wuxian's lap, Wen Ning tried to smile but it was hard to mimic, however his eyes told all, then A-Yuan said:

"Ning ge-ge!"

A-Yuan ran to Wen Ning and hugged his leg tightly, Wen Qing bent, caressed A-Yuan's head and said:

"A-Yuan, Qing jie-jie will take care of Xian ge-ge."

A-Yuan nodded, he held Wen Ning's hand, they went out.

Wen Qing looked at Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji then said:

"Wei Wuxian, I heard you were scared of dogs."

Even hearing the word "dog" was enough for Wei Wuxian's soul to leave his body, he grabbed Lan Wangji as if his life was depending on it and Wen Qing said:

"I can help."

Wei Wuxian said:

"Help? Who wants help? I... I..."

Wen Qing sighed and said:

"I am a doctor, I never tried to help you about this, let me try. If I fail, nothing changes; if I succeed, lots may change."

Wei Wuxian's heart was beating as if it wanted to leave his chest, yet Wen Qing had a point, Wen Qing wasn't among the doctors who tried to help him, sadly though, up until this point, every doctor in the past failed to help Wei Wuxian, he took a deep breath and said:

"No harm trying one more."

Wen Qing looked at Lan Wangji:

"Hanguang-Jun, I need you to play Tranquility."

Lan Wangji nodded, looking at Wei Wuxian he said:

"Wei Ying, let me go."

Wei Wuxian let him go and nervously smiled. Lan Wangji took out his zither, Wangji, and he started playing Tranquility. Wei Wuxian started calming down. Wen Qing held Wei Wuxian's wrist, checked his pulse, she was waiting for the right moment to touch the acupoints. Halfway through the song, Wei Wuxian's calmness reached the level that Wen Qing wanted so she touched some acupoints on Wei Wuxian's head, she sent spiritual power and destroyed the trauma. Wei Wuxian's face showed lots of expressions, most was fear. Then suddenly he relaxed, Lan Wangji finished playing, looked at Wei Wuxian and Wen Qing, he asked:
