Chapter Text
The departure of Jiang Yanli, the fated Empress of the original story, was surrounded with rumor that spread wildly in imperial palace. The Noble Consort's jealousy with his dark art made Jiang Yanli sick after visiting her palace once. The ones who hate him since the beginning of his staying in the palace scorned him, the ones who only enjoyed rumor adding more fuel to the hatred. By this rate if Wei WuXian went out, he probably would be thrown rice bowl by people.
It wasn't hard to convince Jiang Yanli to come back to Yunmeng, but it was harder on Jiang Cheng. The man was thoroughly believed that Wei Wuxian only wanted to snatch his sister's Empress seat. Wei Wuxian was lucky that he knew Jiang Cheng's true personality in his world that more or less would be alike with this realm. Once he told that Wen spies were caught by him and Nie brothers, and they admitted the Wen would march soon, Jiang Cheng dared to leave Capital for their hometown. Adding to real tears he shed to the Jiang siblings with how much he didn't want any of them to suffer the intricacies in Capital and to avoid the destruction of Lotus Pier again. They finally left while hugging Wei Wuxian. It was good to be able to amend their relationship again, the thing he wanted to do in his world the most.
His wicked smile couldn't be more sinister than this he thought, looking at bronze mirror, his red mole adding to the beauty of sin. The more he looked at his face, the more he didn't mind this Ger body. Who knew that the longer he stayed here, he could get pregnant -- wait that was a dangerous thought. He was a man, Lan Wangji was a man, sure that he was a Ger but did it between man and man, how could be?
His contemplation was disturbed by Wen Ning whose face like eating lemon behind him. This person still like Wen Ning he knew in his world, timid and reserved. He tampered his wicked smile into the small one.
"Your Highness, please change your attire, this humble servant will help."
Looking around the room, he realized the problem seemed occuring in his palace. He didn't know whether to cry or laugh. All of the servants averted their eyes to the floor and didn't dare to raise their head. Considering looking at His Majesty's ger/women in indecent attire would be punished as a treason.
But, this was indeed what he prepared to. The another shoe drop he waited from First Prince's Male Consort, Meng Yao. Wei WuXian messed up his well threaded plans of course retaliation would follow. He was fast but not fast enough. His precious people who better off the battlefield already be pushed to the background and the ones better to stay close still around him. Even Chenqing gave celebration in their spiritual space once the mark of completion in this world reached 70% when Jiang Yanli came back to Yunmeng and of course let Jiang Cheng discreetly gathered the army to defend Wen's upcoming attack to the border.
The pitter patter outside the bedroom signaled him to be ready to act, he turned back again while combing his hair. The door was opened abruptly and it caused a bang sound.
"Noble Consort Wei Wu--"
"How dare you, Head of Imperial Guards! Impertinent! This is His Highness' chamber and you dare to enter without permission with your men!". Wen Qing bellowed without mercy. Trust her to be extra to cause commotion and Wei WuXian couldn't help to snort. Wen Ning was sweet cinnamon roll so he wouldn't ask him to act alongside but Wen Qing was different. Once he let her know his plan (not all of them, mind you) she was ecstatic to the point he asked Chenqing if there was bad blood between Wen siblings and Jin House but then regarding what happened in his world if Jin Guangshan was the one he knew before then it made sense.
He turned back while clutching his white inner robe tighter to himself. Ha, every single person in this whole palace knew the Noble Consort always rose so late, it was Jin ZiXuan's fault to barge into his palace and hoped he was lazying around with fancy robes. He forced his expression to be deer caught in headlights while his innermost thoughts wanted to laugh at how Jin ZiXuan's face was so red it could be compared to tomatoes while his men didn't know whether to go back to the door they entered or keep their stance alongside their master. The sight of Jin ZiXuan still got him whiplash and flinch which were not an act, reminder the last time he saw him with hole in his chest and blood so much around him it was blending to his yellow robe, he sided to left as to keep Wen Ning on his sight, although Wen Ning in this world wouldn't cause hole in anyone's chest, it was better to be cautious.
"We-we got instruction from court to escort His Highness as he was summoned."
"Still dare not to apologize! Insolent!"
"What I am summoned for?" Wei WuXian asked quietly while turned away his eyes to the floor. This pitiful act should get him an award, okay!
"For the devious act in making Lady Jiang Yanli sick with dark art, the court will assemble the hearing", Jin ZiXuan sneered.
Once Wei WuXian knew his saviour would come soon, he stared down at Jin ZiXuan while smirking. This man, if his informant didn't let him know that Jin ZiXuan was low-key always cared about Jiang Yanli whereabout and condition further before her arrival in Imperial Palace, he wouldn't including him in his plan to make Jiang Yanli happier in this realm.
"Presumptuous Peacock!" he said it with mocking tone that made Jin ZiXuan widening his eyes in comical way.
Right away, the grandiose entrance of Emperor could be seen on the entrance of chamber.
"Announcing the arrival of the Emperor", somehow Wen Qing could utter the announcement with respect and sneer simultaneously to two different recipient. Woman was scary like that, he thought.
Once again he was struck by how much his servants were loyal to him looking at the way they shielded him around like petals covered its pollen although he didn't instruct them so. This must be because they didn't want him to be included in Jin ZiXuan punishment if the Emperor bestowed him one.
Yet, Wei WuXian didn't need to worry, he believed that Lan Wangji was smart enough to know the situation without he needed to explain it. Honestly, he relied so much on Lan Wangji's knowledge of Wei WuXian to make sure this plan worked but if he wasn't then better he divorced this cruel man. They were bowing to the Emperor while the situation still stiff.
"What was this rude behaviour about, Head Imperial Guards?" The Emperor's voice was serene and calm yet the room's temperature felt drop few degrees.
Recovered enough from the shock, Jin ZiXuan answered the similar one he gave to Wei WuXian.
"Is court position was higher than Ours to be able to summon Our little Ger without Our knowledge?".
Wei Wuxian thought that Lan Wangji was remarkable. He could speak few words but the impact was utterly no nonsense. This overbearing aura was truly matched to his title. Making him want to tease Lan Wangji mercilessly!
Jin ZiXuan and his men were stuttering after realized the truth behind the Emperor's words, how they barged into Emperor's Noble Consort palace yet without His warranty. Nonetheless if what First Prince's Male Consort said was true, it was still Emperor's jurisdiction to punish Noble Consort Wei Wuxian. The one behind this misbehaving was seen through by Lan Wangji too. His brother's men that were controlled by his Ger were massive so it wasn't a surprise. In fact this gave Lan Wangji momentum to cleanse the Imperial Court once and for all.
"Tell the court We will attend once We have breakfast with Noble Consort and ask your punishment at tomorrow's court session".
The words like the storm that wrecked Imperial Guards' ship. Their dejected looks while went out were contrasted to Wei Wuxian's servants smug ones. This was already almost noon yet Emperor said wanting to have breakfast with His Highness. The Emperor really gave their master some face, ah! They didn't have to worry so much where their master stand with this upcoming Empress ceremonial, at least Noble Consort was still loved by the Emperor no matter the title was.
Wei Wuxian who didn't know what his servants thought was letting out enthusiastic "Lan Wangji" while waving the man over. The temperature once again dropped for no one called their Emperor by their name since they knew The Emperor but then the ice thawed when they looked at small smile on Emperor's face and the soft look he gave to the ardent Noble Consort. It was not only the servants in the room, but also Wei WuXian stared dumbfounded on Lan Wangji's smile. Little did he know that Lan Wangji loved it when Wei WuXian called him by his name than all of his titles combined because he was reminded the time when they were kids and they didn't have to survive in Imperial Palace with all these unnecessary schemes.
The servants gave wide berth to Lan Wangji when he walked to the stunned Wei Wuxian. There was a dangerous glint when Emperor looked at Wei Wuxian shameless attire while this was already past breakfast time. Yet it was fade as fast as it came and Wei WuXian faced with the aloof and majestic Lan Wangji.
The Emperor's eunuch that somehow had telepathy ability to Emperor's mood was ushering people out from Noble Consort's chamber, he was instructed Wen Siblings of The Majesty and His Highness breakfast once the door closed and he prayed really hard that The Emperor knew time and location considering the sun already high and Noble Consort's palace was near Imperial Court.
Wei Wuxian greeted Lan Wangji with voice that only could be heard by two of them. This warm intimacy ambience was so thick on the room Wei Wuxian swore he could poke it with his Chenqing. Somehow he felt hot and bothered under Lan Wangji's unwavering stare. Why this man kept looking at him like that, he seriously didn't know. The initial feeling wanted to tease was thrown out of the window and now Wei Wuxian's mind was as blank as his inner robe.
He was stunned for the second time again when Lan Wangji rubbed his cheek with his knuckles while drawing circle on Wei Wuxian's palm with other hand.
"You are blushing" Lan Wangji said fondly.
'Fuck this man' Wei Wuxian grumbled in his mind and what did he do but flustered more! The audacity of this man versus Lan Wangji in his world was truly like heaven and earth. He ducked his face when he felt that his face so hot it could fry egg. He knew that this cruel Emperor was smiling again on his fluster look. And now the hand slowly covered his waist and the one on his face manhandled his head through his nape that Wei WuXian pliantly looked up into Lan Wangji's blazing golden eyes.
'Holy shit!' that was Wei Wuxian's mind again when he realized how beautiful Lan Wangji was. That he could count Lan Wangji's long eyelashes one by one and how that cheekbones could cut his hands if he tried to slap him. And God must be weeping when he poured too much ambrosia into the color of this man's eyes.
Yet, his brain was shutting down for good once there were lips on his lips. Pecking like kitten kisses then his knees bucked when Lan Wangji licked his lower lips. If it wasn't for Lan Wangji holding him, he was sure that he would melt into the floor and merged into the woods. He was screaming internally and opened his eyes to see Lan Wangji closed one. And when did he close his eyes!
There was a strained sound when Lan Wangji nibbled his lower lip that he realized later on it was his moan. How embarrassing. Furthermore, this Emperor really was an opportunist that once Wei Wuxian gasped he plunged his tongue into Wei Wuxian hot wet cavern with much velocity, it made Wei Wuxian dizzy. Under so much dominance in one kiss, Wei Wuxian couldn't do nothing but take it. Take it like he meant for it, like he was born for it. He was kissed like Lan Wangji wanted to devour him, wanted to meld into him, into his flesh and bones, and lived within his beating heart.
He was jostled into clarity when his under knees tripped the bed and he downed on the bed with Lan Wangji on top him. Boy didn't he see this coming. He must be an indecent sight by looking the way Lan Wangji's eyes widened and darkened. Somewhere in the back of his mind, the smallest part of it, still screaming madly but his mouth. His mouth that ever be his downfall didn't know when to stop apparently.
"Like what you see?".
That coy tone must be not his voice but between two people in the room, one just uttered "Mn" then it must be him, Wei WuXian, the doomed Wei Wuxian, because now not only his lips that were attacked but his neck also. His shuddering body and lewd moan seemed fueling Lan Wangji that he ripped the the inner robe with so much vehemence that one would think he had utmost dislike to the offending garment. The Emperor no longer could hold himself from licking and biting the creamy skin of his little Ger combined to the bliss out Wei Wuxian expressed now, truly his restraint was snapped.
Wei Wuxian who was the recipient of this onslaught could only hold onto Lan Wangji covered shoulder that the more he grabbed the more revealing the robe was, and now he was blessed with toned chest of Lan Wangji, the Emperor, the one of twin Jade. Damn this man and his perfection, and Wei WuXian was a man that perfectly believed an eye for an eye so after such a vigorous attack fueled by lust now he hauled Lan Wangji back on top of him and flipped him down, then proceed to kissed Lan Wangji back fervently. His forehead, his nose, his sharp cheekbones, his lips, his long neck and more went to downward.
He was a really virgin man, contrary to popular belief in his world and although he passed through hundreds realm, again he stated here that he was a virgin. Yet, Nie Huaisang's books and many books as such he read were enough to give him such a big picture how to satisfy a man. He didn't think he was ready for losing his virginity now while he was in the middle of the world task, although if he was asked again with Lan Wangji heated kisses he wouldn't say no to Lan Wangji. Besides, he heard many times that man was worn out after one time orgasm so he better attacked Lan Wangji first and spared himself. That was a sound plan!
Feeling the intense gaze following him to the lower body of Lan Wangji, he stared back into the golden eyes while opening the pants. Slowly he pulled the hard ramrod and deterred his gaze to the meat he held in his right hand. He didn't know much about penis, heck the only penis he knew was only his okay, but he could say with much confidence that this gun of Lan Wangji was beautiful. The veins bulged on the rod was nothing but charmed the beauty. This man was really endowed from the top of his head to the down of his toes. The girth was slightly bent and so red now he rubbed his palm on it. He gave the rod a delicate lick while locking his gaze to the man under him and got his hips bucked on him that drove the straight rod to the back of his throat.
He coughed and got a pat on his back.
"Do not force yourself". Lan Wangji rubbed his back while looking at him with so much concern and love and Wei WuXian couldn't stand him, it was overwhelming that he could only muttered "yes" and plunged himself again on the fellatio.
The hitched breath of the Emperor egged Wei Wuxian on to take it deeper while trying to enjoy this unusual act for him. The more he did it the better he understood the pattern. Wei Wuxian was great at experimenting, his inventions back then were produced from experiments too, so using the similar vigor now he handled Lan Wangji's penis expertly. Where to lick, where to suck, when to take it deeper and when to make it faster. Unbeknown to him, this sinful tongue and lewd sight of him were the ones drove Lan Wangji to the end. His disheveled hair, his red mole on his blushing face, the lips around his cock, and the creamy skin of his chest -- beautiful. Held by Wei Wuxian's arms on his hips while stuck himself to the bed so he didn't buck his hips again when the orgasm washed the Emperor strongly. This was understandable. He had been holding himself for almost a month after the cold shoulder he got from Wei WuXian on the announcement of his upcoming marriage to Jiang Yanli of course he didn't dare to touch or seek anyone else to touch. Hold so much and release so much that Wei Wuxian could only let the spurt of white covered his tongue.
Once the climax dispersed and Lan Wangji could think clearly, he let his penis out of Wei Wuxian hot wet cavern and rub his little Ger on the back.
"Then this delicate husband can only rely on His Majesty to take care of him until the end of his time". And the private smile Lan Wangji gave him was worth it for every hardship he would endure in the future.
------
It was thoroughly out of his plan; the escapade with Lan Wangji. The intercourse. The coital. The sex. He just needed the Emperor to be a witness of Jin ZiXuan misconduct and gave him punishment, but well who would have known one kiss from Lan Wangji ignited the muscle memory and his own feeling.
Nah, it didn't matter. Now they headed to Imperial Court to judge his 'dark art' like a good old days but now he had Lan Wangji and other plans were in motion so he felt better. In fact, he was bouncing in his steps while still holding the King's left hand and giving the upturned lips of the man next to him, it wasn't only him who was happy. Why he didn't do this when he was still alive in his world was beyond him.
'Is it possible to miss someone so much when they are next to you?'
Since his palace wasn't that far from Imperial Court, it didn't take them much to get there. The courtiers were bowing to Lan Wangji and once they were permitted to raise Wei Wuxian could see the surprise on some and sour faces on the others. And the man with his fan covering his half face must be grinning.
Comparing Wei Wuxian's appearance to the last time he was kneeling in melodrama, even without he opened his mouth people knew how much The Emperor favoured him now. Adorned in vermilion robes that patterned in white, gold, and silver while his hair tied in half ponytail with hairpin and ornaments, this look was like going into the feast instead of fishing public sympathy. As if it wasn't enough robing so much faces, Wei Wuxian was standing in the middle of the court room as his mien screaming power.
Once the court was opened by the Emperor, courtiers who sided with the First Prince started throwing accusations that it was due to Wei Wuxian's dark art that drove Jiang Yanli back to her hometown in terrible illness. Of course, the courtiers who sided Wei House slapped it back by asking for evidence.
"It was rumoured that His Highness Noble Consort planted a doll dressed in purple regalia robe of Jiang House in his backyard, and it was discovered yesterday by one of Imperial Guards". It was none other than Meng Yao, the First Prince's Male Consort. Fueling into the dramatic apropos, the guard kneeled next to Wei Wuxian standing stance while serving look of doll to the courtiers. The room was instantly in loud murmurs. The eunuch who knew what the Emperor's mood at this point thumped his horse whip firmly on the floor. One could look how powerful the Emperor in grasping the courtiers that it was only Eunuch acted it out and the room once again blanketed in quite.
"Oh, and who do you think the doll represents of?" Wei Wuxian asked innocently while inside he was sneering.
"Wasn't it Lady Jiang Yanli, the soon to be Empress?", the way Meng Yao pressed in the last word was really begging of fighting.
"Our Noble Consort worn that too in wedding ceremony", words of the Emperor froze the smile on Meng Yao's face.
It was a common knowledge that Wei Wuxian entered the Imperial Harem firstly as a representation of Jiang House than his own House then the original Wei Wuxian started to back his own House once he paved Lan Wangji's path to take over the throne.
"And Lady Jiang Yanli wouldn't wear man inner robes, would she?". Wei Wuxian jesting remark was met by murderous gaze of Jin GuangYao that made him instantly torn the doll's purple regalia robes and found the doll worn man inner robes.
Well, initially he was so impressed with Jin GuangYao's detail in the doll itself but then it could be reverse to be his downfall instead. Rather than throwing the doll out, Wei Wuxian enjoyed this face slapping act instead. If it wasn't for Jin GuangYao, the original Wei Wuxian in this realm wouldn't go crazy. He wouldn't be bad if he wasn't provoked.
The courtiers now plunged again in murmur but now the gaze was directed to the First Prince's Male Consort. Meng Yao who noticed the frown and worried face of his husband dissuaded the situation immediately once by apologizing profusely to the Emperor and Wei WuXian with sour face. This dead end was created by Wei Wuxian, Meng Yao wouldn't let the Imperial Guard who digged the doll out spoke a word because it was clearly he was directly pointed to where to dig and the maid who disguised as maid in Wei Wuxian palace that planted the doll was already taken care of by Wei Wuxian's men, so seriously he wanted to sorry but he wasn't.
As the man who liked to seize the chance when he saw it, Wei Wuxian kneeled down and address Lan Wangji for an audience. He didn't tell the Emperor before that he wanted to ask something but this was as good as whispering on the bed so he went with it.
"Begging the Emperor to consider this husband's request"
"Mn"
"Knowing that there is doubt in courtiers' hearts about the soon to be Empress Lady Jiang Yanli's well being, this humble husband wish The Emperor would send troops to secure Yunmeng"
The courtiers who directly involved in such major plan were dumfounded. Sending troops to certain area was a large act, needed numerous planning and reasons, yet the courtiers didn't dare to voice out as such because it was themselves who fussed over Lady Jiang Yanli first to get upper hand in kicking out the Noble Consort, who would have thought the table turned. They only wished that the Emperor would see fault in that.
Little did they know, The Emperor himself was looking at Wei Wuxian with such burning gaze it induced blush on the aforementioned man. Wei Wuxian who peeked once now threw his gaze away to the floor. That King was ridiculous, why he stared at him like that. His spine was tingling, okay!
Lan Huan, The First Prince who seldom saw his brother's excited expression was stunned at the moment when he looked at Lan Wangji's eyes. Sure the man was still maintaining his cold mien but his eyes didn't lie. Did he happy because Wei Wuxian changed? Or did he happy because Wei Wuxian in fact never changed?
The man in question was actually happy but not for Lan Huan's reasoning. He was happy because for the first time he could defend Wei Wuxian from the precarious court, the thing that he had been wanting to do so since he was set as the Emperor but it always would be the country first. Now, not only he could 'help' his husband's reputation but discreetly sending troops to the front tier of region bordering to Wen Country. He and Jiang House had been trying to tackle the court to let troops marching to Yunmeng but the lack of Wen's offending their border was always mentioned.
"We agree"
And just like that, two birds with one stone were achieved.
