Both worlds are like dreams

Xue Huang slept for a whole day before waking up. Luo Ning and Dongfang Cong had already left, and only Yun Qing was staying by her side.

"Young Master, do you feel better?"

Xue Huang nodded, "Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry."

Yun Qing handed her the cooked porridge and said, "Drink more. It has supplements to replenish qi and blood."

"Thank you." Xue Huang took the bowl and drank half of it despite the pain. She drank a few more sips of soup. She rubbed her stomach, but it still felt so uncomfortable. "I'll go back to sleep."

"Eat something else." Yun Qing took a box of snacks and opened it, and it turned out to be pear blossom cake.

"Where did this come from?"

"It was sent by Prince Gu," Yun Qing said with a smile, "He came right after the court session. He heard that you were not feeling well, so he stayed here to watch over you for a long time. Later, he had something urgent to do, so he left first."

At that time, Xue Huang's consciousness was brought into the gem, which allowed her to avoid the pain of stomachache. She was sleeping inside and had no idea he had been there.

"If he comes again, tell him I'm fine and he doesn't need to stay here."

Yun Qing joked: "Since Prince Gu is so concerned about the young master, of course he wants you to talk to him in person."

She smiled and said, "Then remember to wake me up when he comes."

"Do not worry."

Xuehuang nodded, reluctantly ate two pieces of pear blossom cake, and fell asleep again.

The young man brought her consciousness to the world of gems again. Xue Huang felt relieved as soon as she opened her eyes. "It's better here. There's no pain."

"Escape from shame!"

"As long as it's useful!" Xue Huang said with a smile.

The boy said nothing.

Xue Huang looked at him and tilted her head and said, "Hey, you've been in here for so many years, don't you feel bored?"

"Isn't it the same wherever we stay?" the young man replied calmly.

"If you could get out of here one day, where would you most like to go?"

“Perhaps it means leaving this world.”

"Are you going to die?" Xue Huang blurted out.

"Bah!" The boy glared at her speechlessly, "You're the one who's going to die!"

"Slip of the tongue!" Xue Huang smiled, "Do you mean you want to go back to your world?"

"Maybe not." said the boy.

"Are there other worlds?"

The young man nodded.

"What does it look like?" Xue Huang asked curiously.

"I don't know either." The boy said. "I forgot a lot of things."

"Actually, this place is pretty good too." Xue Huang raised an eyebrow. "By the way, you looked like this when I saw you three years ago. Won't you grow up?"

The boy thought about it and said, "It seems so."

"That's a good thing. Are all the people in your world like this?"

"They also have birth, aging, sickness and death. I just became like this because of an accidental incident."

Xue Huang's face was full of longing. Since she was a child, she had heard the boy tell her about all kinds of wonderful things that happened in that world, including the history, culture, geography, and knowledge that transcended this era. She really wanted to see it with her own eyes.

The boy looked at her and smiled helplessly, "If there is a chance, I will take you to see that world one day in the future."

"Okay!" Xuehuang nodded with a smile.

"There is one more thing." The boy said seriously. "You must not tell anyone about my existence."

"It's been so many years, when have you ever seen me reveal it?"

The young man rolled his eyes at her and said, "They say that love makes a person's IQ drop to zero. I'm just afraid that one day you'll lose your mind and tell your Gu Qinglan."

"No, no." Xue Huang said with a smile. "No one would believe me anyway."

The boy shook his head. "Okay, stop talking and go to sleep."

"I can't sleep, tell me a story!"

The boy's eye twitched, "I'm not your father, telling you bedtime stories every day. Besides, how old are you?"

“Your story is so interesting!”

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll kick you out."

Xue Huang quickly shut up, glared at him angrily, then closed her eyes and went to sleep.

At dawn the next day, the young man sent her consciousness back to her body, but Xue Huang was still lying in the quilt in a daze.

She didn't get up from the bed until Yun Qing came to bring her breakfast.

"Are you feeling better?" Yun Qing asked.

"Much better." Xuehuang ate breakfast first, then went to change and wash herself, only then did she feel less uncomfortable.

She had been lying there for too long and her body was stiff. After changing into clean clothes, she walked around the yard a few times.

The sky cleared up and the temperature rose quickly. The water in the yard receded and the servants were cleaning up the mud.

Xuehuang really wanted to go out for a walk, but her stomach was aching so much that she could only stay in a rattan chair and read some storybooks.

Yun Qing put a soft cushion on the rattan chair for her so that she could lean more comfortably.

After reading several books, it was almost noon, Xuehuang moved to the dining table to eat, and pulled Yunqing over, but she refused to eat with him no matter what.

"I have no appetite to eat alone," Xuehuang looked at her with a bitter face, "Okay Yunqing, please eat with me." God knows how bored Xuehuang has been during this period. It's raining heavily and she can't go out. She has to eat alone every day and is so bored that she is moldy.

"Young Master," Yun Qing was a little embarrassed, "Yun Qing is your subordinate after all."

"Then you should listen to me even more," Xue Huang said with a smile, "Second Uncle asked you to come here, didn't he just want you to listen to me?"

"But……"

"No buts," Xue Huang interrupted her and picked up a piece of food for her with chopsticks, "Eat quickly."

Yun Qing had no choice but to pick up the chopsticks and started eating in silence.

"Where is Zhuo Yang?" Xue Huang looked around, then took out the jade whistle given to her by Wei Yunzhou and blew it.

After a while, Zhuo Yang jumped out from nowhere, "What do you want, young master?"

"Sit down and eat!"

"Yes!" Zhuo Yang answered happily, and then he realized what was happening, and his face was suddenly filled with surprise, "Ah?"

"What?" Xue Huang pushed the bowl and chopsticks in front of him, "Sit down!"

"My subordinates dare not!"

"You don't listen either, do you?" Xue Huang twitched her lips, "Do you believe me, I'll go to my second uncle to complain?"

Zhuo Yang had no choice but to sit down, pick up the bowl and chopsticks and start eating, but he only ate white rice without taking a single bite of vegetables.

"Eat some vegetables!" Xue Huang raised her eyebrows.

"Yes!" Zhuo Yang nodded and picked up a piece of vegetable and put it in his mouth.

Xue Huang looked at the two of them who were stiff all over and sighed helplessly, "Can you two be more natural? I'm not torturing you by asking you to eat. Why are you so nervous? I'm not going to eat you!"

Yun Qing smiled and said, "Young Master, I am very natural. It is Zhuo Yang who is nervous."

Xue Huang raised her eyebrows. Yun Qing had been in Jinxiu Tower for a long time, and her manners were always elegant, which was normal. But Zhuo Yang, when asked to pick up a dish, only picked up a piece and ate rice. As a result, he choked and his face turned red.
