    Summary

    Shen Qingqiu takes a moment to take the scene in. Yue Qingyuan's eyes are glazed over and hazy, seeming to struggle to focus on things. His movements are broad and sloppy, uncharacteristically clumsy. When he speaks, even his voice stumbles over itself, not at all deliberate and measured in the way it normally is. His guan is a little crooked, and the collar of his robe is askew as if it’s been haphazardly pulled on. 

    “He’s drunk?” Shen Qingqiu asks with incredulous disgust. 

    “I don’t know how!” the disciple cries. “Shizun barely had anything to drink tonight, I’m sure of it. He seemed normal, but then suddenly he started losing his balance and saying odd things. I led him here so he wouldn’t make a scene. Shishu, what should we do?” 

    Well, they most certainly cannot let these outsiders see their sect leader drunk as a skunk. Cang Qiong would be made a laughingstock by some pathetic, no-name sect that’s barely climbed its way up from complete and utter irrelevance. Shen Qingqiu won’t tolerate it.

    Yue Qingyuan is under the influence, and says some things he normally never would.

    Summary

    That is how she spots him before he sees her. 

    There is a faint stir first, heads turning like flowers towards the sun - she recognizes the signs of an Important Person entering the room. A person to be feared and courted, someone you want on your side because they can hurt you. A sect leader of one of the larger sects, most likely - and Qiu Haitang turns her head to follow the stir, and sees him. 

    It’s Shen Jiu. She recognizes him instantly. There is not a single moment of confusion or doubt; it’s just him.

    Summary

    That's a heavy accusation against your general, Jing Yuan closes his eyes, slumping further down his seat. An uncomfortable feeling starts to form in the pit of his stomach. Yanqing is but a child.

    You say child, but you let him fight your battles for you, and now Fu Xuan goes pale. Ah, but that was never the issue, wasn't it? You're not interested in raising a son.

    You're raising him as a bride.

    About growing up, and letting go, and waiting for the destined half of your miserably long life to come home.

    Summary

    “Zhang… You, did someone give you something to drink? To eat?”

    “N-no, Xiao-Jiu, I haven’t eaten anything. Is that bad? Who are all of those people?” Yue Qingyuan looks at him helplessly, as if he is a lost and confused child, and Shen Qingqiu is the one who holds all of the answers he desperately needs. Again, he reaches out to Shen Qingqiu, more tentatively this time, lightly grasping his hand as if in search of comfort. A simple, childish gesture.

    A lost and confused child. His stomach drops.

    -

    Yue Qingyuan is acting strangely, and it's up to Shen Qingqiu to find out what's wrong.
