Both worlds are like dreams

"Why don't you tell me in detail, just as if it were a story."

Mo Yunchen's lips curled up slightly, wickedly and lazily, "Why? Didn't you say that you can find out the truth without me?"

Xue Huang twitched her eyes. "If you don't want to say it, then I'll tell you. When the people who transported the relief silver reached the dam, were they poisoned by your Nightmare Fragrance? As a result, they had hallucinations and lost consciousness. They thought only half an hour had passed, but in fact, more than that. You and Shen Congfeng took the opportunity to transport the relief silver away by water. After everyone woke up, everyone's attention was on the inexplicably missing relief silver, and they ignored the time loophole."

Mo Yunchen poured himself a cup of tea and said indifferently: "You are right, but there is one thing I need to correct."

"what?"

"The disaster relief money did not fall into my hands."

Xue Huang rolled her eyes. "You are all birds of a feather. Is there any difference?"

Hearing this, the cup in Mo Yunchen's hand froze to pieces. His deep, cold eyes were fixed on her. "Xu Yao was once your enemy, but you were willing to cooperate with him? Why are you so hostile to me?"

Xue Huang tilted her head, her dark eyes glittering with cunning, "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. I don't have any cooperation with Xu Yao." Did he think she was stupid? Wouldn't it be a trap for herself to admit that she had cooperated with Xu Yao in front of him?

Mo Yunchen knew that the Snow Phoenix opposite was a cunning little fox, and he just smiled indifferently in the face of her sophistry, "Do you think you are the same kind of people?"

"I don't know," Xue Huang said without hesitation, "I only know that you and I will never be the same person."

"Why?" Mo Yunchen looked at her dimly.

"It's obvious!" Xue Huang raised her eyebrows. "I am a righteous and kind person. Compared with people like you who kill innocent people for your own selfish desires, the difference is obvious."

Mo Yunchen sneered. She was getting more and more adept at scolding him and praising herself. "What do you mean by selfish desire?"

"Is it still too little?"

Mo Yunchen's eyes deepened slightly, "Beiyuan destroyed the country?"

Xue Huang smiled faintly, "How dare you ask me?"

"Shouldn't I ask you?" Mo Yunchen stared at her closely, not missing any change in expression on her face.

"If you really want me to comment, then you are really inhumane for alienating the alliance between two countries and killing people just for an illusory legend."

"Situ Yue, as an old minister of Beiyuan, attacked you whom he had never met. Xu Yao, as a remnant of Beiyuan, helped you many times. I am very curious, why is this?"

Xue Huang smiled slightly, it turned out that he was testing her identity.

"Guigu has been handed down for thousands of years, but hundreds of years ago, it gradually moved away from the court, especially my grandfather's generation, who almost avoided the world. But I think that the reputation of my Guigu is still very loud on the mainland, and there are many people who want to win it over. Isn't this what you and Shen Congfeng planned from the beginning?"

"It seems reasonable, but there is one thing I can't understand."

Xue Huang raised her eyebrows, signaling him to speak frankly.

"After Situ Yue pointed his spearhead at you, the remnant of Beiyuan, to be precise, was killed by Xu Yao himself. On the surface, it was his revenge for the betrayal that year, but is it possible that he was actually protecting you?" Mo Yunchen stared at her with a hint of aggression in his eyes.

Xue Huang's expression remained calm, "You really have a wild imagination."

"After all, Situ Yue was Xu Yao's most trusted person back then. He knew the Beiyuan royal family very well, and he did hold some secrets."

"Didn't you instigate him to rebel? What? He has been hiding from you for so many years and now he has his own plans?"

"Because the secret he is pursuing is tempting enough."

"Are you referring to the secret that led to the destruction of Beiyuan?"

Mo Yunchen raised his eyebrows, "How much do you know about this secret?"

"I don't know." Xue Huang said sincerely.

Mo Yunchen's expression became meaningful. "The old woman who appeared outside Jinxiu Tower was Queen Beiyuan's personal maid. It was her appearance that drew Situ Yue's attention to you. It's just that Xuyao acted too quickly, and those secrets disappeared with his death. But this is exactly what puzzles me."

Xue Huang smiled and said, "You have said so many things in a roundabout way, you just want to say that I am a remnant of Beiyuan, right?"

"Are you that?" Mo Yunchen stared at her with deep eyes, like a bottomless black vortex, swallowing everything.

Until now, Xue Huang realized that Mo Yunchen was so persistent in pursuing her not only because of her blood, but more importantly, he felt that he had an unspeakable relationship with Beiyuan, or in other words, it was also related to the secret he was pursuing back then. But he really misjudged her. Before coming to Beiling, she had never met Xuyao, let alone Situ Yue.

Xue Huang motioned him to look out the window, from where he could see the Taiji Palace. "It was in that palace that you massacred the entire Beiyuan royal family. Mo Yunchen, tell me straight, if I were a member of the Beiyuan royal family, do you think I would sit here so calmly and talk so much nonsense to you?"

Mo Yunchen didn't say anything, as if he was thinking seriously about her words. He had seen her state of mind, pure as ice and snow, and living as bright as the sun. How could such a person be someone who bore a blood feud? The only pain she carried was that huge door.

But he had seen the scene inside the door, and even though it was blurry, it seemed to have nothing to do with Beiyuan.

In the past three years, she has been traveling around the world, free and easy, and does not look like a person who carries hatred at all.

But what if she doesn’t know her own identity?

Mo Yunchen had also thought about this question, but he checked the files of the Beiyuan incident. All the members of the Beiyuan royal family died in the Taiji Palace, even the babies in their swaddling clothes were not spared. She should not be a member of the royal family, but why did the female official of Beiyuan appear beside her?

Is all this just a coincidence?

Xue Huang leaned back. She felt very tired due to her lack of internal energy. "If you don't have anything else to do, take care."

"Aren't you curious as to why the emperor suddenly summoned you back?"

Xue Huang pinched her brows and said, "It's nothing more than a trap set by you."

"Let me remind you that the killing moves against Mo Ruilin will not stop. If you continue to stand in the way, you will end up in a miserable situation."

"I'll also remind you," Xue Huang said indifferently, "there will be no good end for doing evil."

Mo Yunchen: “…” Sharp-tongued.

He stood up and left without saying a word.
