Maybe.

"I, um, I wrote a song too. For you. If you wanna hear it." 

You did?

Lan Zhan nods speechlessly, stunned.

She smiles, and blushes, and starts singing. 

The lyrics may be somewhat familiar. There's a lot of flowery language, comparing her beauty to the moon, something something Chang'e the moon goddess, something something Tuyu the jade rabbit who helps her create the elixir of immortality, something something Twin Jades, something something strong cultivation immortality etcetera. 

!

Lan Zhan waits until the song finishes, because she must be respectful of the music. Then she kisses Wen Ying hard.

Oh good Success. Kiss kiss kiss! If this were animated there would be SO MANY HEARTS floating above their heads right now. 

"You wrote the letter," she whispers against her lips.

"I did! I was talking to Jiang Yanli and Mianmian and the topic came around to my giant crush on you and I was like 'I can't confess my feelings right now, what if she says yes or no and doesn't mean it, because of the situation with Wen Ruohan,' and Mianmian was like 'you should send her a secret love letter!' and I was like 'that's a great idea!' And I already knew how to alter my handwriting, because it's a useful skill for Qishan skullduggery."

"You wrote beautifully. I kept the letter; it is --" her face shutters. "It was beneath my bed."

HUG. 

"I'll write you dozens more love letters, if you want," she says fiercely. "That's not--compared to everything else--love letters are replaceable. People aren't. Fuck Wen Xu."

Hug. So much hug.

"How long can you stay?"

"I...guess if I stay much longer than would be plausible for, uh, the kind of thing Wen Chao thinks I want you for, then questions might be asked..."

Cuddlecuddle.

"Once you leave. Will Wen Xu return?"

"I can't...guarantee that he won't. But I can try to keep him distracted." 

Squeeze. "Unnecessary."

"Is it still unnecessary if I clarify that attempting to distract him doesn't involve me specifically interacting with him more than would otherwise be necessary." 

"...no. I love you."

"I love you. Don't worry, you have a strong ally in dajie in terms of making sure Wen Ying doesn't take unnecessary risks with her own safety." 

Kisskiss. Lan Zhan is very grateful for Wen Qing.

Maybe they can spend the rest of the time they have kissing?

Sounds good. Wen Ying is in favor of waiting for better conditions than this horrible dingy cell to consummate their marriage but they can do so much kissing right now. 

In addition to the rest of the medicines and the weapons, Wen Ying also leaves Lan Zhan with the manacle key and a hickey she can hide under her hair. 

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

(It is also probably a good idea to wait until Lan Zhan is More Healed from various injuries than she is presently before marriage consummation, but Lan Zhan still finds this pretty disappointing. Alas.)

Wen Ying's siblings are together near her rooms, anxiously awaiting her return.

Wen Ying arrives and shuts the door behind her and leans against it with a sigh. 

"Okay. So. There's good news. They managed to hold off Wen Xu long enough to get all the children to safety. And there were definitely at least several non-children survivors. Zewu-jun may or may not be one of them. The situation is still not good but there was no way it was going to be good. Uh, there's other good news but it's both way more complicated and way less objectively important than that." 

Noises of relief at the news about children survivors!

And then:

"What does that mean?"

"So it turns out...Lan Zhan and I are...married?"
