It doesn't take long for XiXi to come back with my grandmother she walks in and sees the state I'm in and coos "A-Ying, baby tell Nana what's going on."

I try to speak several times, but I'm so upset I just can't get the words out. She pats my back soothingly "It's alright baby don't worry Nana will see what's happened alright?"

I nod not moving away from Lan Zhan at all, I don't want him out of my arms now that I have him healthy, whole and alive. Nana puts her hand on my head, and I hear her and Lan Zhan gasp. My tears are still falling, my arms tight around my husband and my body wrapped completely around his.

Nana brushes my hair with her hands and says "Baby have you been having nightmares before today?"

I nod not moving away from Lan Zhan, she asks softly "Can I see them?"

I nod and she stops moving her hand, I know what they are seeing, different scenes from the SunShot campaign, fights, people dying, sect members falling under enemy blades and Wen Ruohan dying by sword but not who kills him. Flashes, which is what my nightmares have been for the last several days.

Lan Zhan kisses me and tightens his hold on me "Baobei why didn't you tell me you were having nightmares?"

I shake my head finally calm enough to speak "Just my fears of the coming battle not being able to protect you."

Nana clears her throat "A-Ying, Wangji I don't think these are nightmares, I think they are prophetic dreams."

I move my head to look at her "Nana, I don't have the ability of prophecy."

She smiles at me sympathetically "No baby you don't but your daughter does and your son has the ability to cleanse and heal. I'm sorry I didn't tell you there were two babies when we did the transfer, I wasn't sure if both would survive. That's why I put up the protection barrier around them to try and make sure that they both survived."

I tear up more "Two? We are having two babies? Lan Zhan, we are having a boy and a girl. We are having twins, my love." My tears fall softly.

He hugs me and kisses my forehead gently "Thank you baobei for making me so happy."

Nana looks at us "I think that what we have seen should be taken very seriously, the woman in your dream is the mother of your children. I believe that what we saw in your dream will happen if we do nothing. Normally the gods cannot intervene in mortal affairs but in this case, it involves the death of one of our prophesied Emperors therefore we can step in to keep this from happening. We need to make a plan because the future can always change based on choices that are made. We need to be vigilant and keep both of you and my great-grandbabies safe. I will go speak with your fathers and see what we can come up with, Wangji for now stay with A-Ying, after that nightmare, he is in a fragile state and needs you close."

Lan Zhan nods kissing my head "Don't worry I've got him, we will be fine. Please contact us as soon as possible. I want to take A-Ying to Wangxian, I feel like it will be the safest place for both of us."

Nana nods "Yes please take him there, we can put the capital on alert which will enhance the security overall and I will make sure that Wangxian is secured after I speak with your fathers. Don't be surprised if they join you soon."

She leans in and kisses my temple then gets up and leaves the Jingshi. XiXi and Shan Yi both come in and nod at Lan Zhan, he nods back and while Shen Yi casts an array, XiXi walks out of the Jingshi.

I look at Lan Zhan "Is XiXi not coming with us?"

He kisses me again "Yes, she will join us in a bit, I have her going to Father, Uncle and Brother to explain what is happening. I don't want to waste time doing it myself when I need to get you to the heavenly city and our Wangxian. You and our little ones are all that matter, but I don't want our family to worry about us leaving without a word to anyone. Come on baobei let's get you three home."

I nod and he stands up with me still wrapped around him, he walks through the array and walks straight to our bedroom when we enter Wangxian. He sits down on the bed and holds me close, rocking me slowly as I rest against his chest.

"Sing to me Lan Zhan, will you husband?" I sigh as I try to relax against him.

He slowly starts singing and I smile, it's a very soothing song and makes me feel happy and relaxed. "What's the name of this song Lan Zhan?" I ask as I drift off to sleep missing the name.

I wake up sometime later to the soft sounds of voices in the other room, I don't know who is talking but I feel like I was able to sleep peacefully this time. I stretch and get off the bed, I walk into the living area and see Lan Zhan, Qingheng Jun, Xichen, Meng Yao, both of my fathers and Nana.

"Hi everyone" I smile at my family.

Lan Zhan and Baba stand up and come to me "Are you alright A-Ying?" Baba asks

"Can I get you something baobei?" Lan Zhan asks

I sniff and smile "I'm okay guys, I promise, I got some sleep and I feel better. I still feel the need to be close to you Lan Zhan is that ok?"

He hugs and kisses me "Of course it is, come sit and have some tea it will help soothe you."

I nod grabbing his arm and holding on while we walk over to a tea table that has been placed in front of our thrones.

A-Die watches me cling to Lan Zhan "A-Ying the day of the battle I want you to come to Paradise Manor with Wangji, I know that the heavenly city is on high alert but I feel like you will be better protected there. You two are their princes and they will defend you til the last one standing. I know you are scared of losing Wangji and I know it would ease your mind if he is with you instead of on that battlefield."

I scrunch my eyebrows "None of the gods can help if neither of us is there though."

Baba smiles "Not necessarily, we know now because of the prophetic dream that not only is there a plot to assassinate one of our Emperors but there is also a weapon that can kill a god in the mortal world, this cannot be overlooked nor ignored. A weapon capable of killing a god is forbidden to exist much less be in the hands of an immortal or mortal being. We have to find that weapon and destroy it before it can cause irreparable damage."

I nod "As long as Lan Zhan agrees I'm okay with it, you've already shown me all of the secret escape areas and where to go in case of an emergency so I'm fine with that A-Die."

Lan Zhan nods "I want to be wherever Lan Ying is, he and our children come first. If you are going to take the yin iron and take away their advantage then I'm confident that the campaign will be successful with or without me."

He kisses the side of my head and hugs me making me feel much better about the coming fight."

Lan Zhan hands me a cup of tea and a small plate of food, I nibble on it as the rest of them talk about strategies and how they are going to prevent the woman from using the arrow on anyone else. They agreed to have all of the sect leaders involved join a conference before the campaign so that everyone would know and understand the dangers and the possible outcomes. With so many leaders there is every chance that they will come up with multiple strategies to be victorious in the coming fight.

I look at Lan Zhan and then to the rest of the men in the room "There is something that is a concern to me that I want to make sure is not an issue later."

They all nod and Qingheng Jun says "Speak your mind A-Xian."

I bite my lip for a moment "The Dafan Wens are not fighters or cultivators, they are healers, herbalists and doctors. I'm sure that there will be a call for all Wen to be defeated but these people are not a part of the main Wen sect or clan they are an offshoot and I don't want to see anything bad happen to them just because they are named Wen. Can we do something to help them? Wen Ning is a sweet boy and his sister although a little prickly is a good doctor and kind to those she helps, I don't want to see them hurt."

Qingheng Jun nods "I will speak to the other sect leaders when we have our conference and see what we can do to protect them. If what you say is true about their healing capabilities they would be an asset to add to any sect especially if they do not have a good amount of healers and herbalists."

I smile "Thank you Ba."

He smiles and inclines his head to me.
