Both worlds are like dreams

"Of course, I am now quite famous in the martial arts world, almost as famous as the uncle."

Wei Yunzhou twitched his lips, "I want to take back what I just said."

"Stop! It's so rare to hear you praise me, keep on praising me."

"The ability I'm referring to is not your martial arts, but your current status and the people's support you have gained." Wei Yunzhou said seriously. "This is your capital to go back."

"Princess Dongchu?"

"You should still have a token in your hand, right?" Wei Yunzhou said calmly. "My senior brother has already written to tell me. He has taken you on a journey for the past three years. It seems that you are just wandering around, but in fact, he is paving the way for you to return here."

Xue Huang naturally knew everything Rong Yu had done for her, and she always remembered what he said: if you want to protect the people you care about, you must first protect yourself. Only when you are strong can you stand in the wind and rain. So in the past three years, she not only worked hard to practice, but also went to many places, made friends with the royal family, and finally got the title of princess of another country.

Although there is no real power, there are still some benefits. It is these things that make Xue Huang feel more confident in returning to Shangyang City.

"So, I'm going back with you. If anyone hurts you, at least I can beat them so badly that even their own mothers can't recognize them."

"Just take care of yourself." Wei Yunzhou rolled his eyes at her.

"Uncle, you seem to have changed a lot."

Wei Yunzhou didn't say anything.

“Have you let go of the past?”

Wei Yunzhou didn't want to discuss such a hypocritical topic with her, "There is a piece of news that Xuyao wants to tell you."

"what news?"

"Go ask him." Wei Yunzhou turned and left.

Xue Huang shrugged helplessly and looked at his receding back. She decided to go find Xu Yao and ask him what the news was.

But he was not in the tent. She looked around but couldn't see him, but she met Gu Qinglan.

"Brother Qinglan, have you seen Xuyao?"

"He's back at the General's Mansion. Do you have something to talk to him about?"

Xue Huang raised an eyebrow, "Isn't it the same when I ask you? You said before that there was a piece of news that had nothing to do with what we have now. What is it?"

Gu Qinglan took her to a quiet place and said, "It was Beiyuan's old subordinates who intercepted Mo Yunchen's secret letter to Jiuxiao City and wanted to kill us when we returned to the city."

Xue Huang frowned, "This shameless bastard, we are here to defend the city, not only do they take advantage of our misfortune, they also want to kill us."

"Although the secret letter was intercepted, there is no way to confirm whether there are other orders sent to Jiuxiao City. The way back may not be easy."

Xue Huang nodded, "Mo Yunchen has been chasing me for the past three years. When I left Shangyang City, my uncle and I fought our way out of Beiling. Fortunately, we got rid of them when we entered Dongchu. Now that I have just returned to Beiling, I have encountered several waves of people, and Duan Feng of Jiuxiao City has long received the order to capture me, so I will definitely encounter obstacles on my way back to the city."

Gu Qinglan's expression changed slightly, "Why... did Mo Yunchen keep chasing you?"

"He wants to use my blood to refine Gu."

"Refining Gu?"

"My physique is quite special. I don't know exactly why, but I have seen in his secret room that he often uses human blood to make medicine, and they are all young girls. It's simply insane."

Gu Qinglan showed a worried look on his face. "He is indeed proficient in pharmacology and the art of poisonous insects. I have heard some rumors about him, but it is still hard to believe when you tell me what you say."

"Don't worry." Xue Huang smiled, "As long as I return to Shangyang City, he will never have another chance."

"But this is his last chance before you return to the city."

"Now that I have Princess Dongchu's amulet, he will have to think twice even if he wants to do it."

Gu Qinglan thought for a while and said, "I will send a message to His Highness and ask him to make preparations early."

Xue Huang nodded, "Come on, walk with me first."

"it is good."

The two people walked along the river bank, talking and laughing.

"Brother Qinglan, it seems that you are not very happy when you heard that I am going back to Shangyang City."

"I... am very happy in my heart."

"really?"

"real."

"Then smile a little...haha, are you shy?"

……

One month later

Five days after Tianqi withdrew his troops, Qingzhou's food and grass arrived safely in Muhua City, temporarily resolving the food shortage. Seven days later, Shangyang City's medicinal materials and food finally arrived, completely resolving the food and grass shortage.

Wei Yunzhou and Xu Yao, with the three great doctors, searched the water sources of the entire city and finally found the source of the plague. According to Lin Yu's prescription, they used an antidote made from the seven-colored green-scaled snake and the earth fire lotus to completely eliminate the toxicity. The toxicity in the water had actually been very weak after being diluted by the water flow and could no longer cause any waves. However, under the coaxing and deception of the crowd, Lin Yu still used the last bit of snake venom for detoxification with a painful heart.

Lu Wenxuan invited monks from all over the city to hold a ceremony for three consecutive days. The sound of chanting sutras echoed throughout the city, which was considered to be a prayer for the souls of the dead.

The whole city was hung with white cloth, and everyone was mourning.

It was only in recent days that they were gradually removed. The dead are gone, and the living must always look forward.

The plague in Muhua City lasted for four months, and it is only now that it has been completely settled.

Xuehuang has been staying in Huayu's Shuimozhai and refusing to go out these days. She can finally sleep in and no one can wake her up.

That day, Hua Yu couldn't bear it any longer and directly pulled her out of bed, "Don't sleep anymore, Master Gu has been waiting for you for half an hour."

Hearing this, Xue Huang opened her sleepy eyes and asked, "What does he want from me?"

"There is an imperial edict from Shangyang City."

Xue Huang had no choice but to sit up, wash, dress, and leave the room. Not only Gu Qinglan, but also Wei Yunzhou was there.

She yawned and sat down, "Is it a letter from Fifth Brother?"

"It's His Majesty's edict," Gu Qinglan said with a smile, "Your prescription saved countless lives, and you captured Tianqi's generals on the battlefield, forcing Tianqi to retreat. His Majesty commended you and ordered the troops along the way to escort you back to the city, and there are other rewards."

"But I didn't do all this by myself. It would have been impossible without your help." Xue Huang raised her eyebrows. She just started it, but it was their cooperation that really brought all these things to a close. For example, if it weren't for Dongfang Cong and Lin Yu, how could her prescription be effective so quickly?

"None of this is important," Gu Qinglan said. "What's important is that your Majesty's edict is here. The whole world knows that Princess Changle is making this move. In addition, the edict also commends your status as Princess Dongchu. With this status and edict, Mo Yunchen's people will not dare to act rashly."

"They dare to collude with Tianqi. Will they take an order seriously?" Xue Huang sighed. If they really want to kill them, they can have countless excuses. Anyway, the emperor is far away and can't see it.

Wei Yunzhou said, "So, we still have to return to the city secretly."
