Both worlds are like dreams

In Duke Jingguo's carriage, Mo Ruilin and Xue Huang both thanked him sincerely.

"Thank you, Lord Jingguo, for defending me this time. I will definitely remember this kindness in my heart."

Xue Huang smiled and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Gu. If you hadn't spoken up, we wouldn't have been able to prove our innocence so easily."

"No need to be so polite." Lord Jingguo said with a smile. "It's just that they spent so much time and effort to set up such a big scheme, but in the end they got nothing. I'm afraid it will anger them."

"That's why I took the initiative to show weakness and put myself in their trap." Mo Ruilin looked at Xue Huang, "You shouldn't have taken out the handwriting to save me."

"Fifth brother, of course I know what you're thinking, but the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple are all on Shen Congfeng's side. Once you fall into this trap, you'll be killed by them, or at least skinned. Besides, even if they can't prove that the person next to you is Xiao Ling'er, you have no way to prove that she isn't."

Because that person is indeed Xiao Ling'er, and it is impossible to verify. And behind Xiao Ling'er are Xu Yao and other people from Beiyuan. Once implicated, Mo Ruilin's evidence of collusion with the rebels will be confirmed.

Mo Ruilin sighed, "It was because I was careless this time that they caught me."

"I can't blame you." Xue Huang consoled her. "They have been wanting to kill me for a long time, how could they let it go so easily?"

Jingguo said publicly, "The Fifth Prince must be careful in what he does next."

"Thank you for your advice, Duke."

"How is Qinglan?" asked Duke Jingguo.

"Brother Qinglan is supervising the work now. With my second uncle here, he will be fine."

Duke Jingguo nodded and said, "His Majesty has ordered you to stay at home, but he didn't say when. In this case, you should stay in the palace for now. If there is anything else you need to do, you can ask someone to come find me."

"Thank you, Duke." Mo Ruilin bowed.

"Thank you, Grandpa Gu." Xue Huang said with a smile.

Duke Jingguo's carriage sent them back separately before leaving. The first thing Xue Huang did when she returned home was to ask Yun Qing to send a message to Xu Yao and Xiao Ling'er, telling them not to meet with Mo Ruilin again during this period of time.

Since Shen Congfeng and his gang have set their sights on them, they will definitely not let them go easily.

And future cooperation will inevitably be fraught with dangers, so this partnership must be temporarily concealed.

After giving the instructions, Xuehuang felt really tired. She didn't even have time to eat and just took a nap leaning on the swing.

But she didn't know how long she slept before her consciousness was pulled back into the world of gems by the boy.

"I want to sleep!" Xue Huang said with a bitter face.

"It's actually the same here as it is in your body."

"But I always feel like I haven't slept. Especially today, I had a lot of time to argue with those old men in the court. It was even more tiring than fighting."

"I called you here so that you can recover quickly. Your internal injuries have not healed yet, and you are confined to the mansion. If you don't recover quickly, how will you deal with what's next?"

"Got it." Xue Huang sat down cross-legged, closed her eyes and meditated to heal her wounds.

As a result, she napped for a little too long, and when the boy woke her up, it was already dark.

She rubbed her eyes and leaned on the swing for the afternoon. Her back and waist ached and she was about to stretch when she keenly noticed someone next to her the next moment.

Xue Huang thought it was Yun Qing, but when she turned around, she found it was Mo Yunchen.

She was startled and quickly stood up from the swing, frowning slightly, "Why are you here?" Her consciousness was in the gem this afternoon, so she didn't realize when he came. That idiot, why didn't he kick her out earlier?

Mo Yunchen couldn't help but laugh as he watched her expression change in an instant. She was unusually well-behaved when she was quiet, but when she woke up, she was like a kitten with its fur standing on end.

"I was surprised at the court today."

"Unexpected?" Xue Huang raised an eyebrow. "Shouldn't you feel ashamed of yourself? You used such a despicable and shameless method to frame us."

"What happened today has nothing to do with me." Mo Yunchen said indifferently.

Xue Huang sneered, "Don't tell me that the death of that maid was just a coincidence."

Mo Yunchen did not answer her, but stood up and said: "Mo Ruilin escaped this time, but he will not be so lucky next time. This is my last warning. Don't get involved in the matter between him and Phantom again."

"Why should I listen to you?" Xue Huang asked back.

Mo Yunchen's face darkened a little. He stared at her in silence, but his deep eyes seemed to be gathering a whirlpool.

Xue Huang was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and turned away.

The next moment, her wrist was grabbed by Mo Yunchen and pulled back in front of him.

Mo Yunchen's tone was as cold as ice, "Are you unwilling to give up?"

Xue Huang frowned and looked at him, "You touched someone I care about, why can't I fight back?"

Mo Yunchen's expression became more and more dangerous, his aura gradually changed, and his hands unconsciously exerted force, as if Xue Huang's slender wrist could be broken by him at any time.

"Let me go!" Xue Huang struggled hard, but the hand on her wrist didn't move at all, and her palm had already started to turn purple, obviously her blood circulation was blocked. "What do you want?"

Mo Yunchen was indifferent, "You are no match for me now. If I take you away now, who can protect you?"

"You dare?!" Xue Huang looked at him with gritted teeth, "Do you think this is your home?" After she finished speaking, she gritted her teeth, and her other hand was filled with cold air, and she hit Mo Yunchen directly in the chest.

Mo Yunchen also fought with her with one hand. Although Xue Huang's injuries had not yet fully healed, her strength was still very strong.

The two of them fought with bare hands for more than ten moves. Fortunately, when Yun Qing came to find Xue Huang, he found something wrong, and immediately stabbed Mo Yunchen with his sword, forcing him to let go of Xue Huang.
