Jingyi smiles, feeling the joy in his heart at hearing the words but it was so confusing against the sadness of their situation too. He wishes he could beg Zizhen to stay with him, but that would be so selfish and he'd never be happy knowing others were hurting. It just wasn't fair they couldn't remain together longer. He had finally learned how it meant to be with a man and now he couldn't try it until some unknown time in the future. That wasn't right!
However, one glance at Yuan and any 'unfairness' is quickly disproven. Nothing Jingyi's been through compares and it likely never would. From there it was watching and waving to the man he loves disappear in the sky. He tried hard to be strong and stoic, but at that moment, he dropped to his knees to cry.

"Take them to the dungeon," Jiang Cheng orders with a sneer. One more spy had been caught red-handed thanks to a certain list. He sat on the Lanling throne with two of his fingers rubbing a his temples. The headache hadn't gone away since he'd arrived and he doubted it ever would. A new silver cusp was around one wrist but he'd explained it to no one and not a soul had dared ask. The only one who would was sleeping after his latest spike in fever had broken.
The mix of purple and gold disciples before him bow and haul the offenders away roughly. He'd had to enlist servants to taste their food after all the poisoning attempts. It made meals slower to prepare and serve, but it was worth it if he could feel safe serving it to his nephew. His only comfort while being here in the main hall was that Fairy was at Jin Ling's side. If anything were to go wrong, the dog would and had twice now, come running for him.
He wasn't expecting guests nor a response from his brother for a few more days. As he called for wine, he wondered if they'd all last that long.
