I know your secret

Wei Wuxian was in a deep dilemma over what Xie Lian said.

Sleeping with Lan Wangji when he was in his male form? What kind of a blasted idea was that? And besides, he didn’t think that he would be able to accommodate him in his male form. Even in his female form, he barely fit.

As he walked back to his place, he noticed that a certain bird had been hovering above him, and he recognized it as his – the General Wei – messenger bird, so he found a secluded place to get the message that the bird brought and opened it – only to frown.

He crushed the paper in his hand and quickly went back to the direction of the Palace, because according to the news he just received, there would be an attack on their kingdom soon, and he had to be prepared for war.

When he arrived at the Palace, he saw that the Emperor was already busy with the morning assembly, and when he saw him, he gestured at him to come closer.

“Have you received the news?” Lan Wangji spoke with his calm voice and Wei Wuxian nodded.

“Yes, Your Majesty. There was a sign of strange mythical beasts’ attack on the Northern part of the kingdom. I will depart there soon to check on the situation.”

“I will come with you.”

Wei Wuxian was surprised to hear that. 

Usually the initial scout consisted of a few people with high agility stat who could move stealthily, but since the threat was bigger than usual, Wei Wuxian decided to go as the scout and to make quick decisions on the spot.

But now the Emperor wanted to come?

“Your Majesty, you should stay here in case things get out of hand. If the need arises, I will inform you as soon as possible so you can make the decision.”

Wei Wuxian didn’t really want Lan Wangji to go to the front line and faced unnecessary trouble before they knew the full scope of the situation. But as stubborn as Wei Wuxian was, the Emperor was even more determined.

“Say no more. Prepare to depart in one hour, necessary personnels only. Keep it small to make our movement undetected.” Then without waiting for Wei Wuxian’s response, Lan Wangji left the room.

The departure of 5 people – including Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji – was swift and on schedule. It took around 3 days to travel to the Northern part of the kingdom, and at night it was cold as hell so they had to stop to make camp and to let the horses rest.

They took turns to watch their surroundings, and Wei Wuxian got the first one. He sat in front of the fire when suddenly a warmth was enveloping him, and he saw that Lan Wangji had put a fur coat on him.

“You have to take care more for yourself, Wei Ying.” He sat beside him and gave him a mug with hot tea. “It’s very cold here.”

“Your Majesty, you should go back and rest, we still have a long journey tomorrow.” Wei Wuxian shrugged off the coat and put it on Lan Wangji instead and he insisted that he go back to his tent and rest.

“I think I can handle it no problem, Wei Ying. I’ve been to many wars together with you, remember?” Lan Wangji chuckled. “And I can’t sleep. Let me accompany you and talk.” Lan Wangji pulled Wei Wuxian closer and shared the coat with him.

Under the limited space of the coat, Wei Wuxian was literally inside of Lan Wangji’s embrace, and he didn’t know how to react to it. This was the first time that Lan Wangji showed a blatant affection toward him, and since he just spent the better part of yesterday in an intimate position with him, he became red in the face.

“So, what do you want to talk about, Your Majesty?” He tried to have some space between them but it didn’t work since Lan Wangji pulled his waist closer.

“Lan Zhan. I told you to call me Lan Zhan when we’re alone.” He literally whispered in Wei Wuxian’s ear and it caused him to feel something stirred in his loin.

Goddamn the Emperor for having a super nice scent. And the memory of him naked and writhing did not help either.

“Right. Sorry, Lan Zhan.” Wei Wuxian inhaled deeply and the woody scent of sandalwood and citrus were flooding his senses.

“I want to talk to you about something important, Wei Ying.” Lan Wangji suddenly took hold of Wei Wuxian’s hand and wrapped his fingers around his. 

It took a second for Wei Wuxian to register what Lan Wangji did, and he almost jumped out of his skin from the surprise.

For as long as he remembered, Lan Wangji had never touched him like this. Their relationship was just platonic – as a liege and his loyal subject.

True, sometimes he caught a few lingering gaze and a lot of unspoken words, but Wei Wuxian never thought about… this. At least until they spent the night together yesterday.

Just by the touch of his hand, all parts of his body were singing and demanding for more, and Wei Wuxian was scared if somehow the desire blinded him and made him do something that he would regret.

So he tried to do what he thought was best.

Trying to let go of his hand.

Unfortunately Lan Wangji was very strong, and he did not let go of Wei Wuxian easily.

“Lan Zhan… “ He pleaded with his eyes.

“I’ve casted a sound barrier around us, so no one else will be able to eavesdrop if that’s your concern.” Instead of letting Wei Wuxian go, Lan Wangji pulled him even closer and whispered to him.

“I know about your secret, Wei Ying. So be a good boy and tell me all about it before I get angry and do something that we both will regret.”
