Both worlds are like dreams

Seeing him walk away, Su Linjin smiled and said, "This Second Prince seems gentle and sincere, but he is actually very cunning."

"How can he be a brainless person who can make it to this point in the bloody Beiling court? In terms of intelligence, Fifth Brother is not as good as him."

Su Linjin sat down again, "It's a pity that he is too cunning and always weighs interests in everything."

Xue Huang shrugged her shoulders and waved to Yun Qing to call over that idiot Mo Yiming.

After a while, Mo Yiming was seen walking towards them with his hands behind his back, looking quite proud.

Xue Huang didn't like his behavior and didn't bother to even look at him.

Mo Yiming was somewhat happy. He quickened his pace and sat down in front of her. "Long time no see."

Su Linjin glanced at him and said, "Didn't you two just meet?"

Mo Yiming smiled and said, "This is the first time I can sit down and talk with Princess Changle."

"Third Prince, please speak frankly." Xue Huang said indifferently.

"Just now I saw Second Brother walking away with a disappointed look on his face. I guess Second Brother was rejected, right?"

Su Linjin looked at his smug face and also felt that this guy was inexplicably annoying. He looked at Xue Huang, wanting to see her attitude.

Xue Huang's face was filled with indifference. "Don't worry, you will soon have the same expression as him."

The smile on Mo Yiming's face froze for a moment, "So, you want to reject me?"

Xue Huang asked back, "Is what I said difficult to understand?"

"I know you want to choose Gu Qinglan, but he is just a prince after all. Isn't it unfair for you, the eldest princess of Dongchu, to marry a prince?"

"Did the Third Prince get General Shen's support for coming here today?" Xue Huang looked at him with a smile, "I'm a little surprised. Why did General Shen's son come here?"

"Commander Shen is already engaged to the daughter of Minister Du. He is just accompanying her today."

"I thought General Shen was more optimistic about his son."

"I have already told you that marrying me is the right choice. With the support of General Shen and King Han Xi, the position of Crown Prince will be mine sooner or later, and you will become the Crown Princess of Bei Ling. When the day comes, you will be second only to the emperor and above all others. By then, the alliance between the two countries will only be more solid."

Xue Huang's expression remained indifferent, "Are you done?"

Mo Yiming was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "I haven't finished yet."

Xuehuang raised her eyebrows, he has learned to be smart!

Su Linjin said, "In that case, if your Highness has anything else to say, just say it all at once. But I remind you, Your Highness, no matter what you say, Dong Chu's decision will not change. She is the one who makes the final decision."

Mo Yiming also knew that it was Xue Huang who made the decision, so he tried even harder to persuade her, "I know that the princess values friendship, so no matter what conditions you put forward, I can agree to them. This is not only my idea, but also General Shen's sincerity. Including your uncle, he can also choose a new camp, and it is possible for him to be granted a title of nobility or a prime minister."

Xue Huang looked at the teacup in her palm, unmoved. Even if he said something fancy, she would never agree.

Seeing her acting as if it had nothing to do with him, Mo Yiming suddenly became anxious. "I know you have someone in your heart. The person you want to marry is Gu Qinglan."

Xue Huang said calmly: "Since you know, why waste time talking?"

Mo Yiming sneered, "In fact, we all know that the so-called selection of a son-in-law is just an excuse. With Dong Chu's intervention, the emperor will not grant a marriage between Xingyue and Gu Qinglan, and you will naturally choose him. I have to say, this method is very clever."

Xue Huang didn't say anything.

Mo Yiming's face darkened, "You have to choose him, right?"

"good."

"The princess really has deep feelings for Master Gu," Mo Yiming sneered, "but have you ever thought about it? You now hold huge benefits in your hands, but you only choose one person, then will this person become the target of public criticism?"

Xue Huang's expression also turned cold, "What does Third Prince mean?"

"I am just kindly reminding the princess that General Shen would rather die than live in disgrace if he cannot use someone. If he cannot get it, no one else can."

"Does your Highness remember what I said in front of the Imperial Study?" A hint of murderous intent flashed across Xue Huang's eyes. "Have you forgotten it so quickly?"

"Princess, you misunderstood," Mo Yiming said with a smile, "We certainly won't embarrass you, after all, we still have to be on good terms with Dong Chu, but it's not necessarily the case for others. For example, the person the princess wants to marry can also disappear."

Hearing this, Xue Huang's eyes instantly turned extremely cold, and a chill emanated from her hand holding the teacup, spreading along the table toward Mo Yiming. A murderous intent also erupted from her.

She could ignore his threats, but if she dared to touch Gu Qinglan, she would definitely be courting death!

The dragon's reverse scale will cause anger if touched.

Gu Qinglan is the Snow Phoenix's Achilles' heel.

Mo Yiming was startled, and instantly stood up and took a few steps back, looking at her warily.

"Third Prince," Xue Huang's eyes were as cold as ice, "I remind you that if you mess with someone I care about, there is only one outcome. That is death. Whether what you said today is your idea or General Shen's idea, I ask you to consider it carefully. If Gu Qinglan has any accident, I will make sure you are buried with him first."

Su Linjin's expression was not good either. "I also remind His Majesty the Third Prince that anyone who embarrasses her is an enemy of Dong Chu. I wonder if General Shen can bear the responsibility of losing an ally?"

Mo Yiming's face suddenly turned pale and blue, "Let's go and see!" After saying that, he turned away.

"He does have some brains," Su Linjin's eyes were cold, "but not much."

"Using Shen Congfeng's power to stir up trouble, he is nothing more than a sad pawn."

"This chess piece is also very important."

"Why should I care whether he's important or not?" Xue Huang stood up and walked back, "If I don't beat him, he won't learn his lesson."

Su Linjin followed and asked, "Does he often bother you?"

"Not really." Xue Huang said. "I just think he has some mental problems. He is afraid of death and yet he is courting death."

"You now hold the golden ticket of immunity from death of both countries, why are you afraid of him? If he dares to bully you, just fight back."

Xue Huang raised an eyebrow, "So, I should throw him out!"

Su Linjin smiled and said, "Let's go!"

After saying that, the two of them hurried to chase after Mo Yiming, but he slipped away quickly and had already walked out of the door.

However, Wei Yunzhou came back from outside at this time and saw the two of them with smirks on their faces.

"What?" He stopped them with a cold face.

Su Linjin immediately said: "Someone bullied her."

Wei Yunzhou glanced outside the door, "Mo Yiming?"

"He threatened me," Xue Huang said, "I'd better use Brother Qinglan."

"how do you want to do it?"

Xue Huang laughed, "Beat him up! Let him be in peace for a few days."

"You don't have to do this kind of small matter yourself." After saying that, Wei Yunzhou called Zhuo Yang and gave him a few simple instructions, and Zhuo Yang quickly went to carry out the task.

Su Linjin looked at him with some sympathy, "I wish him good luck."

"Uncle," Xue Huang said with a smile, "I have something else I would like to ask for your help."

"explain."

"Can you arrange some people to secretly protect Brother Qinglan? I'm afraid someone will attack him."

Wei Yunzhou said without hesitation, "Okay."

"Thank you, second uncle." Xue Huang said with a smile.

Wei Yunzhou said nothing and walked into the main hall with sword in hand.

Mo Zhenyu hadn't left yet, so Ye Yin was there too. When he saw Xue Huang coming in, he stood up and saluted, but didn't say anything. But there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes, because Xue Huang only had eyes for Gu Qinglan.

"Brother Qinglan," Xuehuang pulled him up, "accompany me to go somewhere."

Gu Qinglan stood up, said goodbye to everyone, and went out with Xue Huang.

Seeing this, Mo Zhenyu and Ye Yin could only leave in disappointment.

Looking at the backs of the two of them, Su Linjin smiled and said to Mo Ruilin: "Your two brothers have used all their tricks to coerce and bribe you, but you are calm. Aren't you afraid that Xue Huang will change her position?"

Mo Ruilin smiled faintly, "First, I believe in the relationship between Xuehuang and Qinglan. Second, no matter what choice Xuehuang makes, it is her own business."

"You are speaking very frankly," Su Linjin said bluntly, "No matter what you think, you are still the ultimate beneficiary. In the eyes of others, no one cares about your sincerity."

"I understand." Mo Ruilin smiled. "Although Xue Huang did not participate in the party struggle, her existence is a great support to me, and she also put her life in danger by helping us. So..." He stood up and bowed solemnly, "I can only promise here that no matter what the future holds, I will protect her and Qinglan for the rest of their lives."

"If you want to protect what you care about, you have to be strong yourself," Su Linjin looked at him meaningfully, "and you are only qualified to say this if you are in that position."

Murilan's expression became firm, "I understand."

"It seems that His Highness has made his choice."

Murray looked out the door. He had already made his choice: for the royal family, for the court, for the people, and for the people he cared about. "Because we all have things we want to protect."

Wei Yunzhou glanced at him and said, "With your current strength, you are not qualified."

Mo Ruilin smiled and said, "Brother Wei, can't you remind me later? Can't you let me escape from reality for a while?"

Wei Yunzhou rolled his eyes and walked away with his sword.

Mo Ruilin sighed, "Brother Wei, no matter what time, you are always the most sober person."

Su Linjin smiled and said, "After all, a clear mind is good for longevity."

Mo Ruilin also walked outside, "Brother Wei is here, so I'll take a break and have a drink. I hope there will be good news later."

Su Linjin did not go out, but looked towards the back hall, "Haven't you heard enough?"

Mo Xingyue walked out slowly, "How did you know I was eavesdropping?"

Su Linjin thought to himself, he was not the only one who knew this?

"They all left, why don't you leave?" Mo Xingyue continued to ask.

"Where are you going?" Su Linjin raised his eyebrows.

"How should I know?" Mo Xingyue asked back. "But then again, when you're serious, you do have the temperament of a regent."
