Chapter 223: Xianxian uses clever tricks, Junwu tells his true feelings
Wei Wuxian hadn't seen Sizhui for five days, and he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. That evening, as he watched Lan Wangji sorting through ancient books, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Wangji, I have an idea! Dad listens to Mr. Nianqing the most. If I can get Dad to ask Mr. Nianqing to give in, maybe we can see Zhui'er!"
Lan Wangji looked up at him, his tone somewhat helpless: "What do you want to do now? Don't do anything stupid."
"How could I have done anything bad?" Wei Wuxian leaned forward and mysteriously pulled out a small brocade box. "This contains 'Love Recalling Powder'. It's not something that harms people, but it can make people remember the things they care about most and speak their true feelings. I'll add it to Dad's tea. When Dad sees Mr. Nianqing, he'll definitely be able to confess his feelings! When Dad is in a good mood, he might even plead for us!"
Lan Wangji frowned but didn't stop him - he also felt sorry for Si Zhui, and he knew what Wei Wuxian was thinking. He just wanted to see the child as soon as possible and didn't really want to plot against Jun Wu.
During dinner, Wei Wuxian brought a cup of warmed fairy tea and approached Jun Wu, saying coquettishly, "Dad, you must have been exhausted recently. I made this tea especially for you. Would you like to try it?"
Jun Wu glanced at him. Although he felt that the boy was particularly attentive today, he didn't think much of it and took the tea and drank it in one gulp. Not long after, Mei Nianqing arrived at the Golden Palace as scheduled to discuss Si Zhui's subsequent magic teaching arrangements. As soon as he entered the palace, he saw Jun Wu sitting in the main seat, looking at him with a burning gaze, completely different from his usual calm demeanor.
Seeing this, Wei Wuxian quickly pulled Lan Wangji and quietly retreated outside the hall, leaving only the two of them inside.
Inside the hall, Jun Wu stood up and walked step by step to Mei Nianqing, his voice trembling slightly: "Nianqing, for so many years, you have always been by my side and have never left..."
Mei Nianqing was stunned for a moment, her cheeks flushed slightly: "Your Majesty, you today..."
"I'm not Your Majesty, I'm Jun Wu." Jun Wu interrupted him, his eyes full of seriousness. "I'm no longer the monarch who only knew how to scheme, because you're here. I was afraid that I wasn't good enough, that you'd think we were just superiors and subordinates, so I never dared to say it... But in my heart, I've long regarded you as the most important person, not a subject, but someone I want to spend the rest of my life with."
Mei Nianqing looked at the deep affection in his eyes, and his heart was filled with warmth. For so many years, he had been like this too. But Jun Wu was the Emperor of Heaven, and he was his subject. He could only keep this feeling in his heart. Now that he heard Jun Wu say it himself, he could no longer hold back and reached out to hold Jun Wu's hand: "Jun Wu, me too."
Jun Wu suddenly embraced him in his arms, with such force that he seemed to rub him into his bones and blood. The moonlight outside the palace poured in through the window lattice, falling on the two of them, with an unspeakable tenderness. Jun Wu lowered his head and whispered in Mei Nianqing's ear: "From now on, I will never make you wait again."
Mei Nianqing leaned in his arms, nodded gently, her eyes red - after so many years of waiting, she finally had a home.
Outside the palace, Wei Wuxian peeked through the crack in the door and excitedly said to Lan Wangji, "See! I told you this method would work! Dad finally confessed his feelings! When they're in a good mood, they'll definitely ask Mr. Nianqing for us, and then we'll be able to see Zhui'er!"
Lan Wangji shook his head helplessly, but couldn't help laughing - this kid, by accident, had actually brought about a good thing.
Not long after, the palace door opened, and Jun Wu walked out holding Mei Nianqing's hand, their eyes filled with lingering affection. Seeing Wei Wuxian, Jun Wu didn't get angry, but just glared at him helplessly: "You kid, you're getting more and more daring. You even dare to plot against your own father."
"I'm doing this for Daddy's own good!" Wei Wuxian smiled and leaned forward. "Dad, Nianqing and Father, you're in such a good mood right now, could you please ask for a favor and let us see Zhui'er? Just for a moment!"
Mei Nianqing glanced at Jun Wu, smiled and nodded: "Forget it, for your sake, I will let you meet tomorrow. But only for half an hour, and he still needs to finish copying the rules."
Wei Wuxian immediately cheered, "Thank you, Daddy! Thank you, Father Nianqing!"
Lan Wangji also breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the scene before him, his heart was filled with peace - his family was harmonious, his loved ones were together, and even the feelings hidden in time had a home. This kind of heaven was a truly warm home.
