Lan Zhan gives Wuxian a sad nod when he looks his way. He needs to say with Jingyi. He's worried about his disciple and Zizhen shouldn't face this injury alone. However, his husband knows he wants to be there and he hopes Yuan will know too soon enough.
Also, before Jiang Cheng can leave the room, Lan Wangji proves he might not feel like arguing with the man, but he's not following his instructions perfectly either. He scoops Jingyi up in his arms and nods for Zizhen to follow him. He takes both boys back to the room his own room (which he's glad the servants have changed sheets since that morning).
Jin Ling leads Wuxian and Yuan to the room next door and offers the bed.. that clearly hadn't been slept in the night before. Shh. Don't notice that Uncle Wei! He goes over to wash his hands of the blood and remove his outer robe before hurrying over to the bed to join them.
Once everyone is gone, Jiang Cheng is highly tempted to whip Xiaowen once more for his own gratification but he knows from experience that doesn't actually make you feel any better.

He steps out of the room and puts a ward on the door to seal it. He pauses to look at one of the many red and gold decorations along the halls and picks it up. With a sneer, he crumbles it in his hand before turning to go speak with his fiancé, knowing what the outcome was going to be.
