Wei Xinyi felt weird. The first few times she experienced the burn on her skin, she dismissed it as unimportant and continued chatting with Wen Qing. But the burn and discomfort steadily grew and Wei Xinyi guessed something was wrong. She hastily waved goodbye to Wen Qing and walked out of the banquet. She better reach her quarters first and find her brother.
Wei Wuxian has to be there, considering he and Lan Wangji had disappeared mid-banquet. If anyone had complaints regarding the disrespect, they kept it to themselves, not wanting to antagonise Wei Wuxian.
Her body continued burning up and slowly the symptoms came one after the other. Dizziness, short of breaths, and the simmering heat.
Fuck! Who dared to poison her??
"Young Lady Wei," a desperate voice called her from her behind.
Lan Xichen looked disoriented as he walked after her. More like ran, to be honest....
Then, she remembered. The only thing she ate or drank in the banquet was the cup of alcohol Lan Xichen personally poured for her!
Her anger grew at his insolence. Daring to poison me?
At that moment, she wasn't delirious enough to reason that a man like Zewu-Jun wouldn't stoop to such levels. But her mind was whirling.
"Young Lady Wei, are you al-" Lan Xichen began, raising his arm to touch her.
"Do not touch me!" She growled and moved back a few steps away from her. The heat was now unbearable. Is she dying?
Lan Xichen looked stricken but it was obvious that his breathing was ragged. Wei Xinyi staggered backwards, her breathing uneven.
Lan Xichen clenched his jaw and stepped forward. He swiftly picked her up in his arms and started walking to Wei Xinyi's assigned rooms.
"What the fuck? Let....me...go," Wei Xinyi's voice grew weaker and she started taking deep breaths since the amount of oxygen she needed was possibly more than she is taking normally!
Lan Xichen's face was lined with sweat and he looked to be struggling as well. Wei Xinyi, then, heard voices.
"Where did that bitch go from the banquet?" Jin fucking Zixun asked, obviously refering to her.
"Young Master, we do not know. But she must have returned to her rooms," a servant hastily replied.
"Take me there! Even I want to see how long she is arrogant!" He replied, in a drunken voice.
Wei Xinyi's body ran cold. In such a condition, she won't be able to fight that moron off.
"Young Lady Wei, let's go to my quarters," Lan Xichen immediately declared.
"You-" Wei Xinyi was stunned.
What the fuck is happening?????
When they reached his quarters, Wei Xinyi was quick to wiggle out of his arms and ran further inside the room. Her pulse had grown erratic and her heart was beating loudly.
Concentrating on her qi, she found it to be undisturbed. That only means that she isn't poisoned atleast. Wei Xinyi was relieved. Anything else she can handle.
"Young Lady-" Lan Xichen stepped towards her in worry but Wei Xinyi sneered.
"Lan Xichen! What did you put in the drink?" She yelled as his eyes widened.
Atleast she can read his expression.... Unlike his brother's.
"I didn't... I wouldn't...." Lan Xichen tried to explain.
