Both worlds are like dreams

Xue Huang looked at the exquisite hairpin, which was a tassel hairpin with two hollow butterflies wrapped around a lily of the valley flower. The butterflies were carved from pure silver, the lily of the valley flower was made of the most crystal-clear white jade, and there were a few leaves around the flower, which were carved from Hetian jade. As for the tassels, they were made of tiny pearls and gemstones. The hairpin was exquisitely carved, lifelike, and very beautiful and luxurious.

She looked at Gu Qinglan. His eyes were as dark as ink. He just looked at her deeply, as if everything else didn't matter to him.

"Xue Huang", Gu Qinglan's eyes were full of her, "I like you. From the day I saw you, I had a dream that we had known each other for a long time, as if we had crossed the past and met again. I can no longer pull you out of my heart. In this life, Gu Qinglan will marry you, are you willing to marry me?"

Xue Huang's eyes moistened unconsciously. Didn't she have the same feeling towards Gu Qinglan? Somehow, it seemed as if she was destined to meet him.

She didn't know why she liked him, but she had already engraved him deeply in her heart. The moment she suddenly realized it, she couldn't extricate herself.

Xue Huang only had him in her eyes. She smiled and nodded, "I am willing to marry you."

Gu Qinglan took out a hairpin and put it in her hair.

Xue Huang smiled as beautifully as a flower, and the hairpin on her head seemed to have spiritual energy.

Gu Qinglan hugged her and said, "It is destined to belong to you."

"I will go to the palace tomorrow to tell the emperor that my husband has been chosen."

"I'll accompany you... ugh!" Gu Qinglan's arms froze, and he had to let her go, holding his arm and taking a step back.

Xue Huang saw the pain on his face and hurried forward to support him, "Brother Qinglan, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Qinglan didn't want her to worry, but his entire left arm felt like it was being bitten by something, and the pain made his arm tremble constantly.

He almost gritted his teeth and said, "I... I'm fine, don't worry."

Xue Huang lifted up his sleeves. There was nothing wrong with his arms, but Gu Qinglan's arms were bulging with veins. It was obvious that he was in great pain.

"Let's go back and check with Mr. Dongfang first."

Gu Qinglan put down his sleeves, let out a long breath, and shook his head, "I'm fine, it doesn't hurt anymore."

Xue Huang looked at the cold sweat on his forehead and frowned, "Are you hiding something from me?"

"No, don't worry, I really don't feel any pain anymore." Gu Qinglan stretched out his hand. He also felt strange. The pain just now was like an illusion. It hurt so much that it was worse than death in an instant, but disappeared without a trace in the next instant.

Xue Huang was still worried, so she pulled him away and said, "Let's go check on Mr. Dongfang and the others."

Gu Qinglan followed her and walked out.

But at this time, someone called Xue Huang.

"girl."

Xue Huang looked over when she heard the voice and found that the person was the one who had refused to interpret the fortune for her. "It's you?"

The old man glanced between her and Gu Qinglan and said, "Is this the girl's sweetheart?"

"Of course." Xue Huang raised an eyebrow, "I never thought that the master still remembered me."

"I took your money but didn't interpret the fortune, so I remember it clearly."

"Then Master, did you stop me today to interpret the fortune?"

The old man shook his head. "No. I just have a piece of advice for the girl."

"what?"

"The person in front of me is my sweetheart, but my sweetheart is not the one beside me. The more I want to get closer, the more painful it is. It's like the red string that is forcibly tied together. Our fates are destined to be entangled, but we can't go against the will of heaven, just like the wooden sign that fell at the beginning."

Xue Huang's heart ached for no reason, and she couldn't help but think of the wooden sign that had fallen to the ground and shattered, as if she and Gu Qinglan were destined to be separated.

No! Will not!

Xue Huang's eyes turned cold, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll hang you on the tree too."

The old man sighed and said, "Girl, think about it carefully." Then he slowly left.

Gu Qinglan held Xue Huang's hand and said, "Don't think too much. I'm really fine."

Xue Huang suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, but couldn't laugh at all, "Let's go back first."

Gu Qinglan nodded and followed her in the carriage to leave the Yue Lao Temple.

At this moment, both of them were in complicated moods. Although they were unwilling to believe the strange words that the old man had just said, an indescribable panic surged in their hearts.

Some vague images flashed through Xue Huang's mind. She felt like she seemed to have overlooked something, but she couldn't remember it.

Gu Qinglan held her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, I will always be by your side."

Xue Huang leaned on his shoulder and hugged his arm, "Brother Qinglan, we will always be together, right?"

"Of course," Gu Qinglan held her in his arms, "If you accept my hairpin, you will be my wife."

Xue Huang looked up at him, and there was a deep and unbreakable tenderness in his eyes. She seemed to be able to see into his heart through his eyes.

Gu Qinglan met her eyes, looking at her eyes that were as bright as stars, and her eyes were focused on him alone. He hugged her tightly unconsciously and lowered his head to kiss her tender red lips.

Xue Huang closed her eyes, hugged him and responded to the kiss. This was the first time he took the initiative to kiss her. Although it was a little awkward, he was very gentle, as if he was protecting the most precious treasure in the world.

The carriage shook and the two fell down, but they still hugged each other tightly.

Gu Qinglan stretched out his hand to protect her head before she hit the mat. He opened his eyes and looked at Xue Huang, and she was looking at him. Her dark eyes were as bright as a pool of autumn water, making people willing to indulge in them and unable to extricate themselves.

At this time, the heartbeats of both people were echoing in their ears like drums. Gu Qinglan's ears were still red, but he was reluctant to let Xue Huang go.

He lowered his head and kissed her again. This time, his kiss was much more passionate. He ignored all the etiquette and shyness.

When love is deep, it is hard to control oneself.

Xue Huang was drowned in his tenderness and wished she could rub him into her bones and blood so that they would never be separated again in this life.

The two kissed each other and almost forgot everything.

Until Gu Qinglan felt a piercing pain in his body again, he frowned. This time, it was not just his arm, his whole body seemed to be bitten by something.

He couldn't help but tremble, but Xue Huang immediately noticed this subtle change.

Xue Huang pushed him away and saw that his face was full of pain. "Brother Qinglan?!"

Gu Qinglan covered his chest, his whole body trembling. His face lost color in an instant, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. It was obvious that he was enduring great pain at this moment.

Xue Huang was horrified, "What's wrong with you?"

Gu Qinglan curled up and fell to the ground, shaking continuously. The pain in his body felt like his bones were being dug out. He clenched his teeth tightly, but the severe pain still came from his heart and from his bones and flesh, over and over again, almost making him faint.

His lips trembled, and his voice was hoarse, but he still comforted her, "I... I'm fine..."

Xue Huang was at a loss, not knowing how to help him, so she could only hold him in her arms, but she couldn't help but wet her eyes, "Brother Qinglan, don't scare me!"

Gu Qinglan was in so much pain that he almost lost consciousness, his hands digging into his flesh.

Xue Huang was afraid that he would hurt himself due to excessive pain, so she pried his hands apart and held them.

Gu Qinglan's arm veins bulged due to the pain, and his grip on Xue Huang's hand tightened unconsciously.

Xue Huang ignored the pain and quickly asked the driver to speed up, "Faster!"

The coachman was from the Shanhe Sect. When the accident happened, he had already increased the speed of the car. When he heard Xue Huang's words, he whipped the horse even harder.

The carriage ran almost all the way and finally arrived back at the Wei Mansion.

Xue Huang quickly helped Gu Qinglan get out of the car, and the coachman and the guards at the door also came over to help.

"Go and invite Mr. Dongfang and Mr. Lin Yu."

Xuehuang helped Gu Qinglan in, but he was already unconscious.

Dongfang Cong and Lin Yu hurried over, and Wei Yunzhou also got the news and followed closely.

As soon as he came in, he found that Gu Qinglan's face was pale, and Xue Huang was standing by his side, anxiously and helplessly.

Wei Yunzhou pulled her up, "What happened to him?"

Xue Huang shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes, "I don't know why he suddenly became like this."

"Calm down." Wei Yunzhou pinched her shoulders. She was shaking.

"Second Uncle," Xue Huang looked at him sadly, "I'm scared. I don't know what's wrong with me, but seeing him like this, I'm so scared."

Wei Yunzhou looked at Dongfang Cong and Lin Yu, "What happened to him?"

Dongfang Cong frowned and replied: "Master, please forgive me. I can't tell the reason at the moment, but there seems to be something strange about Master Gu." After saying that, he looked at Lin Yu. He was a little uncertain, maybe Lin Yu could explain it.

Wei Yunzhou also looked at Lin Yu. If even the ghost doctor couldn't determine something, then this poison doctor would probably be the only one who could know it.

Lin Yu felt the pulse for a long time before speaking in disbelief, "Master Gu looks like he's been poisoned."

"What kind of Gu?" Wei Yunzhou asked.

Lin Yu shook his head and looked at Xue Huang, "What symptoms does he have?"

"He...his arm hurt at first, and then it suddenly got better. But on the way back, he was in so much pain that he was worse than death."

Lin Yu thought for a moment, "I can't be sure what poison he has been infected with, but it is definitely a poison."

Xue Huang's eyes were filled with anxiety. "Is there a solution?"

"I'm not sure yet," Lin Yu said, "but I can temporarily use silver needles to help relieve his pain."

His acupuncture skills had reached the level of perfection. After a few needles, Gu Qinglan's complexion eased a lot, but he did not wake up.

"When will he wake up?" Xue Huang asked.

"It's hard to say," Lin Yu shook his head. "The outbreak of Gu usually has a reason, and there will be a fixed time or a specific environment. I temporarily alleviated his pain, and maybe he will wake up after the outbreak is over."
