Pledge you do not sleep in the vanquished cave.

[emperorssmile]

Lan Zhan!! I miss you!

But it should be nice and quiet in there now.

I already secured an evening at the inn we’ve been staying at.

[shangba]

And Wen Qionglin?

[emperorssmile]

He doesn’t sleep.

He’ll probably stay in the Burial Mounds.

[shangba]

And Wei Ying, unguarded?

[emperorssmile]

I’ll be fine!

I could offer to pay for that room next door?

[shangba]

Will he be welcome?

[emperorssmile]

As long as no one looks too closely.

[shangba]

If it does not trouble him.

[emperorssmile]

I’ll make sure he knows he can refuse if he wants to.

I thought that might be why you were so agreeable about me sticking around for a little while.

[shangba]

Already miss my husband.

Assault by envoys on the flight to Caiyi. Incessant.

[emperorssmile]

It hasn’t been a full day since I saw you, but I can’t wait to see you again!

Are you corresponding with me now to look busy so they leave you alone?

[shangba]

...Wei Ying.



( Yes. )

[emperorssmile]

I love you so much.

It’s a good time for a break for me, so I’ll talk to you for as long as you want.

[shangba]

My husband's emergencies take precedence.

[emperorssmile]

You’re absolutely right. My emergency is that Lan Zhan isn’t here and I want him all to myself.

[shangba]

Apologies. I force lies upon you.

[emperorssmile]

Nonsense. I really do miss you.

Besides, I like being your distraction.

[shangba]

Will they begrudge us?

[emperorssmile]

Probably. They’re just trying to weasel their way into your favor. They can wait their turn.

[shangba]

They have wives. Surely must know.

[emperorssmile]

It’s okay to take a break.

If they hold a grudge over something like that, then they’re not worth your time.

[shangba]

Already, they strain.

[emperorssmile]

Lan Zhan, you’re allowed to rest if you’re feeling overwhelmed.

[shangba]

I suffer from no tangible ills.

[emperorssmile]

Well, you’re allowed to take a break because I said so.
