While the boys are gone, Lan Zhan meditates but also continues to think, like he had all day, about the ceremony he was preparing for the next day. He hopes the news of the letter isn't going to derail things too much. He'd hoped they could do it today but.. certain other events happened and atonement had to be done. It also had given those who sewed an extra day to get everything just right.
He smiles as a name starts to form in his mind.

Jingyi takes his friends to the large library at the top of a long, steep hill. There's a beautiful magnolia tree tucked around it. Going inside, he gestures for the two of them to hang back just a bit.
"Wei-qianbei?" He calls as he goes in. When he sees him, he hurries over and kneels in front of his table. "Is everything alright? I've been so worried about Jin Ling since I was unconscious when I left Lotus Pier. Was there any news of him in your letter? Please, Wei-qianbei!"

Jiang Cheng has no one he would tell anything like these letters to anyway, so there is no fear of gossip from him. He is also terribly paranoid from dealing with everything from Lanling. He's figured out (with Huaisang's help) which messengers he can trust and has continued to use them exclusively, paying well for their discretion.
When he both the next letter and the fan, he sits and stares at it for a very long time. It's the first time he wishes he did talk to other people about his personal life. What he wouldn't give to have his sister's advice right now! Wuxian would just tease him, he was sure and he didn't trust anyone else. However, he is blown away by how the other man sees him.

He is so very fucked.
