Both worlds are like dreams

Xue Huang and Wei Yunzhou came to the pavilion nearby and sat down. Seeing that the two had stopped fighting, Luo Ning hurried to find someone to repair it.

Xue Huang looked at Wei Yunzhou happily and said, "Second Uncle, I'm willing to accept the loss. You can't control me this time."

Wei Yunzhou drank the tea brought by the servant without saying anything.

Looking at his expression, Xue Huang smiled and said, "Second Uncle, even the elder uncle can't beat me, so it's not shameful that you can't beat me. Besides, this isn't the first time you've lost to me."

Hearing this, Wei Yunzhou's eyes turned cold and he glared at her unfriendlyly.

Xue Huang said quickly: "I was wrong, I was wrong, I won't say anything more."

"You can stay here for a few more days, but you are not allowed to get involved in the affairs of Mo Ruilin and Gu Qinglan again."

"Sure." Xue Huang answered happily.

Wei Yunzhou didn't even raise his eyebrows and asked directly: "What are the conditions?"

Xue Huang smiled and said, "Answer me a few questions."

"explain."

"Is Gu Qinglan investigating the death of the prince?"

"good."

"Tell me."

"A month ago, the prince was assassinated on his way back to the capital."

"Assassination?" Xue Huang was slightly surprised. "The prince was assassinated? Who is so bold?"

"Not sure. The prince's death was a bit strange." Wei Yunzhou said.

"How to say?"

"Before the convoy reached the south gate of Shangyang City, it passed through a valley. It is said that they encountered a ghost messenger there at night."

"Ghost messenger?"

"That's right. The ghost said he came from hell and that the prince's life span had come to an end and he should not stay in the human world, so he came to take his soul. Then the prince spontaneously combusted in front of everyone. In the end, only a charred corpse was left, and the ghost disappeared."

"How long did it take them to put out the fire?"

"The fire could not be put out with water, so it was finally put out with a large amount of quicksand." Wei Yunzhou said.

"Water can't put it out?" Xue Huang felt strange.

"This has not been explained so far. And the burned body has a very strange smell."

"What does that have to do with that assistant minister?"

"My people have already found out that the so-called ghost messenger was disguised by a member of a troupe of opera singers. But when we went to investigate, we found that they had all been killed. However, I still found out that the owner of the troupe had met with the housekeeper of the Zhao Mansion."

"Minister Zhao happens to be the one escorting the prince, and his housekeeper is related to the class owner, so Gu Qinglan wants to investigate?"

Wei Yunzhou nodded and said, "But now it seems that the people behind Minister Zhao have already expected that the Fifth Prince and his men will find out about Minister Zhao, so they set a trap and waited for Gu Qinglan to fall into it."

Xue Huang thought for a moment and said, "Minister Zhao is only a minister. With his official position, it is really unrealistic for him to want to assassinate the prince. There must be someone behind this. Second uncle, do you know who this person could be?"

"Beiling is now ruled by powerful officials, and the imperial power is in name only. The only ones who have the guts to assassinate the crown prince are General Dingguo and King Hanxi's party. Of course, it could also be another crown prince."

"General Dingguo, Shen Congfeng? King Hanxi Mo Yunchen?" Xue Huang was shocked. These two people controlled almost two-thirds of Beiling's military power. They were actually in the same group? "Why? Are they going to rebel?"

"They can only benefit from the turmoil in the royal family. The one who has the best chance of entering the East Palace now is the Second Prince, who is also the biggest beneficiary of the Crown Prince's death. However, the Second Prince has never been in the same party with them, and the one they want to push to the throne the most is the Third Prince."

"Supporting a puppet?"

Wei Yunzhou nodded and said, "What they want is absolute power. They don't care who is in power. But those who stand in their way can only be removed as stumbling blocks."

"Which party does the Fifth Prince belong to?"

Wei Yunzhou seemed to have thought of something, showing a look of disgust, and said: "He is the most useless party. He has no intention of becoming the crown prince. He only wants to support the royal family and eliminate the power of Shen Congfeng and Mo Yunchen. Finding out the death of the crown prince is for this reason."

"So he also thinks that the Crown Prince's death is related to Shen Congfeng and his party."

"The assassin who killed the Hundred Opera Troupe and the Minister's Mansion was secretly trained by Shen Congfeng. His name is Phantom, and he is good at gathering information and assassination. The one who attacked this time is the Black and White Evils, who are the most skilled among the Phantoms and are the most respected by Shen Congfeng."

"I've heard of this name." Xue Huang was slightly surprised. "How did you know this news?"

"If Shanhemen can't even do this, what's the point of its existence?"

"That's amazing!" Xue Huang looked at him with admiration, "So that's what Gu Qinglan just asked?"

Wei Yunzhou nodded, "They both have some brains, but it's simply wishful thinking to want to eliminate the power of Shen Congfeng and Mo Yunchen."

Xue Huang smiled and said, "I understand what you mean. You think he is too naive. After all, there are too many fratricide in the royal war. If he gets involved, he will either be eliminated as a political enemy or become a victim of the power grab. Unless..."

"Unless he is the one who can win." Wei Yunzhou said.

"So, that's why you helped him? You wanted to help him win? But why did you choose him?"

"I didn't choose him, he chose me."

Xue Huang was puzzled and asked: "What do you mean?"

"He knows who I am."

"The descendant of Guigu?" Xue Huang raised her eyebrows. "Everyone says that whoever controls Guigu controls the world. Is he also after this?"

"Master of Shanhe Sect."

Xue Huang was surprised, "How did he know?"

"He has some skills and enough courage."

"Indeed, as a prince, he actually wants to get entangled with a killer organization. He is very courageous."

“That’s his sincerity.”

"Does Gu Qinglan know?" Xue Huang asked.

Wei Yunzhou nodded.

Xue Huang was a little worried. The more people knew about it, the more dangerous it would be for him. "You want to take revenge through the Fifth Prince?"

"Okay," Wei Yunzhou stood up and said, "I have told you everything you want to know. As for my affairs, you don't need to worry about them." After that, he left with his sword in hand.

Xue Huang sat there and digested what Wei Yunzhou said. Before she came here, she didn't expect Bei Ling's court to be so complicated. She touched the gem on her neck and asked, "Fire that can't be extinguished by water? What could it be? Could it really be a ghost fire?"

"Will-o'-the-wisp is impossible. But there is a fire that cannot be put out."

"What is it?" Xue Huang asked curiously.

"Too many kinds. But it's impossible with the current refining methods."

"Such a magical thing, you must see it if you have the chance."

"Why are you curious about everything? That kind of thing is very dangerous and not something that ordinary people can touch."

"I understand." Xue Huang said.

"So what are your plans next?"

Xue Huang showed a sly smile, "I am the winner. Besides, I promised him that I would leave, but I didn't say when?"

"If your second uncle knew that you were being a rogue again, he would be furious. He is doing this for your own good. After all, getting involved in the dispute of the Beiling royal family is not a good thing."

"Of course I know it's not a good thing," Xue Huang sighed, "but among these uncles, I'm most worried about him! He can't let go of his hatred, and I'm really afraid he will do something terrible."

"Everyone in this world has his or her own destiny. It's not something you can interfere with."
