Both worlds are like dreams

When Xue Huang returned to the mansion, she found that everyone was awake and sitting in the pavilion in the garden waiting for her. There were Wei Yunzhou and Su Linjin, Mo Ruilin and Mo Xingyue, and Xiao Linger, but Xu Yao was nowhere to be seen. It had been several days since she last saw him.

Mo Xingyue hurried over and asked, "Are you okay?"

Xue Huang shook her head, "Why are you all here?"

Wei Yunzhou said, "Your answer."

Xue Huang smiled slightly. Sure enough, no one was more direct than him. She raised her hand and suddenly bowed solemnly, "I'm sorry."

Seeing her expression, the few people were not surprised. They had already guessed Xue Huang's answer in their hearts. But when they really confirmed it at this moment, they couldn't help but feel sorry and sad for her.

The girl that everyone hoped would live a carefree and free life was ultimately trapped in this city.

Su Linjin helped her up and said, "I said, no matter what choice you make, Dong Chu and I will respect it. Since you have made a choice, I have also made one." After saying that, he left silently.

Wei Yunzhou looked at her with an unknown expression and left silently.

Xiao Ling'er followed him and stopped him at the corner, "Do you regret letting her come back?"

Wei Yunzhou said nothing and continued walking forward.

"Are you giving in like this?" Xiao Ling'er frowned. "The master is waiting for you in the Dream Garden. You can go talk to him."

"I will not agree with his approach."

"If you have other ideas, the master will consider them."

Wei Yunzhou said indifferently: "I will go to see him, but not now." After that, he left.

Xiao Ling'er glanced in the direction of the pavilion, sighed silently, and left the garden.

Meanwhile, in the pavilion, Mo Xingyue pulled Xue Huang to sit down, "You don't need to apologize, because none of us can watch Brother Lan's life in danger and ignore his life or death, but is there really no other way?"

Xue Huang remained silent.

Mo Ruilin sighed: "Maybe there are other ways, but you don't dare to gamble with Qinglan's life, right?"

Xue Huang nodded. "The Heart-Eating Gu can attack at any time. The closer I get to him, the more painful he will be. It seems that our fate was really destined under the marriage tree. It was the wooden sign that fell at the beginning, destined to be split in two."

"But you also said," Mo Xingyue frowned and looked at her, "You have to ask for your own marriage."

Xue Huang smiled faintly, "I am willing to exchange it for Brother Qinglan's lifelong peace."

Mo Xingyue sighed, "I can't even imagine how sad Brother Lan will be when he finds out about this."

"So, I will ask my second uncle to stop him tomorrow, because I don't have the courage to face his face when he was full of expectations but his wish was dashed in an instant."

"But he'll know."

Xue Huang looked at Mo Ruilin, "Fifth brother, the person I want to choose is not the Third Prince, so your chances of becoming the Crown Prince are still very high. I hope you will be the winner in the end!"

Mo Ruilin was a little surprised. "Mo Yunchen used the antidote as a bargaining chip, and in the end it was for himself?" After a pause, he raised his eyebrows and said, "I think so. After all, he had already started planning it. I just didn't expect that under such a complicated situation, he would actually propose this deal."

"That's right. Shen Congfeng has always supported the Third Prince, but now that Mo Yunchen has proposed such a deal, no matter whether they have reached a consensus or not, this matter will become a thorn between them! This is our chance."

"You want to alienate them through this incident?" asked Mo Ruilin.

Xue Huang nodded and smiled easily, "I can't sacrifice in vain! Besides, isn't this our goal all along?"

Mo Ruilin was silent for a moment, with a trace of guilt in his eyes. "At a time like this, you still want to help us. I really feel ashamed of you."

"After going through so many life-and-death situations, our fates have long been linked together. You are my brother, and I don't want to see you lose. I hope you can become the wielder of the Tiangan Sword."

Mo Ruilin had heard of the legend of the Tiangan Sword, but he had never thought of giving it a try. "Do you really think I can be that person?"

"I don't know, but I hope you can. And as long as you want, we will stand behind you, whether you can be that person or not."

Mo Ruilin's expression became very determined. "I don't know if I am qualified, but I will definitely live up to your expectations."

"In fact, I also have selfish motives. I hope that this path can give Brother Qinglan an excuse to give up on me, because compared with the common people and the personal feelings of children, the latter is not that important after all."

Mo Xingyue's eyes were blurred with tears. She was touched by what Xue Huang had done, but she also felt sorry for the sacrifices she had made. She had considered everything for everyone, but she had never considered herself. "You even thought of a way out for Brother Lan. You are such a fool!"

Xue Huang wiped her tears and said with a smile, "Why are you crying?"

Mo Xingyue turned her face away and wiped away her tears, "I didn't."

"Alright," Xue Huang said, "it's getting late, let's go to bed."
