Both worlds are like dreams

Xue Huang hid in the east of Shuanglin City for several days, and finally thought that the most dangerous place was the safest place. So, she returned to the palace, but she didn't expect that Mo Yunchen was not a simple person. He immediately saw through her plan and laid a net for her.

Fortunately, Xue Huang noticed it in time and didn't fall for it. Not only that, she teased him for a while before strutting away.

She still remembers Mo Yunchen's gloomy face at that time. He wanted to skin her alive and pull out her tendons. The grudge between them became even bigger.

"But he probably doesn't know who I am." Xue Huang raised her eyebrows, "I kept my face covered from beginning to end." During her time in Shuanglin City, she either wore a veil or painted her face dirty, and no one had ever seen her true appearance.

"With King Han Xi's ability, he will be able to find out your identity quickly." Gu Qinglan said.

"Phantom is the eyes and ears of Shen Congfeng and Mo Yunchen. Such news is easy for them to obtain." Wei Yunzhou said.

Mo Ruilin said, "Besides, buying and selling human beings is not against the law in Beiling. This is reasonable. The owner has the right to decide the life and death of the purchased slaves. It is easy to accuse them of a crime."

"People are like ants," Xue Huang laughed sarcastically, "Is this world cruel or is your law cruel?"

Mo Ruilin remained silent, and Gu Qinglan explained: "Ordinary families may not dare to act so recklessly, and they will only severely punish slaves who violate the family rules. However, in the homes of princes and nobles, human lives are worthless. What Your Highness wants is to abolish the old laws and create a new Beiling."

Xue Huang glanced at them and said calmly: "I am just an insignificant little character. It is not necessary for them to unite against me. On the contrary, you are in greater danger."

Several people were silent for a while, and Wei Yunzhou spoke up, "Although Shen Congfeng and Mo Yunchen are strong, they are not strong enough to control the entire Beiling. In the current Liuyun Continent, the nine countries are constantly fighting. Once Beiling is depleted internally, other countries will certainly be eyeing it covetously. No one dares to take this risk."

\"Over the years, their power has penetrated into every corner of Shangyang City. Even the imperial palace has been infiltrated by many spies. It can be said that they are omnipresent." Gu Qinglan sighed.

\"Shen Congfeng and Mo Yunchen are smart people and will not act rashly, but this kind of pervasive infiltration is like termites and will eventually become a hidden danger." Mo Ruilin showed a worried look. Beiling is now facing internal and external troubles. It is unknown when the clouds will clear and the moon will appear.

"Since you have chosen this path, you should know what you will face." Wei Yunzhou said bluntly.

Mo Ruilin immediately smiled and said, "Brother Wei, you must protect me."

Wei Yunzhou rolled his eyes.

"I heard that Tianxianglou has released several new dishes. Brother Wei and Miss Xuehuang, would you be willing to do us the honor of going and trying them together?" Mo Ruilin said with a smile.

When Xuehuang heard that there was something delicious to eat, her eyes lit up immediately and she couldn't wait to go with them.

Gu Qinglan on the opposite side saw her like this and a smile appeared on his face. She looked so cute.

\"Not interested!" Wei Yunzhou refused without hesitation.

Xue Huang tugged at his sleeve and said with a smile, "Second Uncle, the Fifth Prince invited me so kindly, please give me some face!"

\"That's right!\" Mo Ruilin also echoed, \"If you don't show your favor, Qinglan and I will be very sad.\"

Wei Yunzhou remained unmoved.

Seeing that the situation was getting tense again, Xue Huang hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "How about this. Let's go to Tianxiang Tower another day, and have a drink here today. It's to celebrate your highness's success in gaining a foothold in the court."

"Okay," Mo Ruilin smiled casually, "I won't go home until I'm drunk today."

Xue Huang smiled and said, "I'll let Sister Luo Ning arrange it right away. Please wait a moment." After that, Xue Huang got up and went out to find Luo Ning. After briefly explaining the reason, Luo Ning quickly brought people to Wei Yunzhou's room and delivered a table of exquisite dishes and several pots of good wine.

The four of them sat at the same table, drinking and chatting about interesting things. However, Xue Huang and Mo Ruilin were the ones who livened up the atmosphere. Wei Yunzhou was born aloof and was definitely not a funny person.

Gu Qinglan was an elegant scholar with a graceful demeanor. He mostly listened attentively with a smile on his face, occasionally interjecting a word or two.

As for Mo Ruilin, although he has a noble and elegant temperament, he is a chatterbox and has some funny attributes. He even played drinking games with Xuehuang.

The two of them were interacting with each other and having a great time.

Wei Yunzhou watched them having fun, his mind was in a mess. In principle, he didn't want Xue Huang to have any connection with the Beiling royal family, but seeing how happy she was at the moment, he couldn't bear to spoil her fun.

At this time, Miss Yuezhu from Jinxiu Tower came and called, "Sir, there are some things that need your attention."

Wei Yunzhou stood up and glanced at Xue Huang and the others, as if he had something to say.

Xue Huang said directly: "Second Uncle, go and do your work, I will take care of them."

Wei Yunzhou nodded, turned and left the room.

But Mo Ruilin breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's really stressful to face your second uncle's glacier."

Xue Huang poured him a glass of wine and said, "My second uncle only looks cold and indifferent. If you get to know him more, you will find that he is actually very sentimental."

"Do you know him so well?" Mo Ruilin asked curiously.

"When I was two years old, he became Guigu's disciple. As soon as I could walk, I loved to chase him." Xue Huang said. "But by the way, how did you and my second uncle know each other?"

"It was your highness who introduced me." Gu Qinglan said with a smile.

Mo Ruilin drank the wine in the glass, staggered and looked at Xue Huang and said: "Well, it's a long story... We are..."

Before he could finish his words, Mo Ruilin fell on the table with a plop.

"Your Highness?" Gu Qinglan shook Mo Ruilin, and seeing that he did not respond, he smiled helplessly, "I'm sorry to make Miss Xuehuang laugh, but Your Highness can't hold his liquor."

"He's already very powerful." Xue Huang said with a smile.

"Miss Xuehuang, please ask Miss Luo Ning to come over and arrange a room for His Highness." Gu Qinglan stood up and helped Mo Ruilin up.

Hearing this, Xue Huang was slightly surprised. For the fifth prince, going in and out of a brothel was already out of line, but he actually wanted to stay overnight. Didn't he care about his reputation?

Looking at Xue Huang's appearance, Gu Qinglan explained: "Your Highness is a free and easy person, and he never feels burdened by worldly fame."

Xue Huang smiled and said, "No wonder he caught the eye of my second uncle. Okay, I'll help you carry him over."

After saying that, the two of them helped Mo Ruilin out.

There were actually many empty rooms on the third floor. Only Wei Yunzhou, her, and Luo Ning were living there now. Xue Huang randomly found an empty room and helped Mo Ruilin in.

"Don't worry, he is safe here. What are you going to do? There are empty rooms, so why don't you just stay here for one night?" Xue Huang looked at Gu Qinglan and said.

Gu Qinglan shook his head and said, "I don't need it. I will come to pick up Your Highness tomorrow."

"Then I'll take you there." Xue Huang said with a smile.

"it is good."

The two then walked out of the room and closed Mo Ruilin's door. Then they walked downstairs together and happened to run into Luo Ning. Xue Huang said something to her and then sent Gu Qinglan to the gate.
