What was with all these hysterics?? Sure being concerned for a friend was all well and good, but in Shen Yuan's (obviously objective) opinion, Nie Huaisang was taking it too far. He was acting like he was the one who'd nearly qi deviated!
"If tea is an absolute requirement, this master is more than capable of making it," he snapped, dragging his 'I'm the shizun and you'd better listen to me' voice out of the closet and dusting it off. "Jin-gongzi should not be thinking of such frivolous things right now, his health is much more important." And just let Huaisang try complaining and see where it got him! Not everyone was Liu Qingge, to just bounce back from a qi deviation! Hell, in the original work not even Liu Qingge had been able to do that!
In retrospect, unconsciousness now seems preferable to this excruciatingly awkward turn in the conversation. Despairing, Jin Guangyao looks back and forth between Huaisang and Shen Yuan, and then to Lan Xichen. Er-ge, please make them get along, he is just so tired. So, so tired.

"Everyone, please," Lan Xichen, ever the peacekeeper, implores, raising a placating hand. "He would like to return home, and the city is presently..."
Twisting into eldritch depths hitherto unseen and quite incomprehensible to their human brains...?
"...being difficult. We will need to remain alert."
