Jin Ling doesn't sleep well and unfortunately since he's sleeping against Zizhen- or started out that way- his friend might not either. He moans from the pain in his stomach and from visions in his mind. The past attempts on his life from these poisonings to a wire around his neck that broke his heart, he shudders and whimpers.
If Fairy was still in the room, this wouldn't be so bad since she'd likely be on the bed by now helping comfort him but she's not. She's still helping torture deal with the servant and the subsequent perpetrator behind the attack. For the rest of Carp Tower, the night is raw with purple electricity and an irate uncle. Fortunately Huaisang is there to keep him from literally burning the place to the ground.

Jingyi slowly relaxes as he's reassured he's not to blame for this- at least not completely. It might take a while longer for him to convince himself he doesn't share some portion however small for Yuan being hurt.
"Okay," he says, giving in. He considers the options and gives Wuxian a pleading look. "Would you? Then I'll know I'm not being tricked." He has faith in his elders with the Lan clan but he also wasn't blind to how 'street smart' Wei Wuxian could be in comparison. If he was being allowed to learn with this, he should do his best to minimize how long it'll take to get what they need for Yuan to recover.
