Both worlds are like dreams

Ye Yin looked at her clear, icy eyes and hesitated for a moment, because he had never seen himself in her eyes, but now her eyes were on him.

Although he knew this was temporary, he still felt a little happy.

"I still don't understand why the princess chose King Han Xi?"

“Is the answer to this question really that important?”

"I...we all know the princess's love for Master Gu. You had pledged your lives to each other under the Moon Goddess Tree. Everyone thought you would choose him, but why did you give up on him in the end?"

"I still say the same thing, the Second Prince already has the answer in his heart, why should I say more?" Xue Huang said lightly.

In Mo Zhenyu's eyes, no matter who she chose, it was definitely to help Gu Qinglan and Mo Ruilin, so there was no need for her to explain.

Ye Yin was silent for a moment. "What I want to ask is, since the princess cared about Master Gu, but still gave up on him, she must have a greater chance of success. But since the princess could give up on him and choose someone else, why did she have to choose King Han Xi? Why... couldn't it be someone else?"

Xue Huang smiled faintly, "King Han Xi and General Ding Guo are strong together and weak apart. If there is a crack in their alliance, others may be able to gain benefits here."

Ye Yin smiled bitterly, looking at the indifferent and distant eyes, how could he not understand the truth? But his questioning was nothing more than the suppressed tenderness in his heart.

He knew that she would not choose him, but he couldn't help but feel a little hope in his heart.

What Mo Zhenyu said was true, Ye Yin did have feelings for her.

That was three years ago when they were discussing how to rescue people in the Second Prince’s Mansion. She was wearing a blue dress, walking slowly towards him. She had a pretty face, like an elf fairy.

Facing a powerful enemy, he remained calm and composed, yet also quite clever.

At that time he felt that she was different from other women, and her later actions at Xuanyuan Terrace made her enter his heart unknowingly.

But he could see that Xue Huang only had Gu Qinglan in her eyes, and even if Gu Qinglan wasn't there, she would still be the object of the princes' attention. He couldn't fight for her, so he could only bury this feeling deep in his heart.

This time when Dong Chu proposed a marriage, before he and Mo Zhenyu went to meet her, although he already knew that she would definitely not choose him, he still had expectations.

But now, the dust has settled.

Ye Yin regained his composure and completely buried all the emotions in his heart. Now that the dust has settled, there is no point in him saying anything more. Why bother her with more trouble?

"Thank you, Princess, for clearing up my doubts. I wish you a happy marriage and long-lasting happiness and health. I'm taking my leave now!"

"Master Ye, take care!" Xue Huang said, and then slowly left.

Ye Yin looked at the back figure, and in his heart he really hoped that she could live a happy and healthy life.

Xue Huang said goodbye to Ye Yin, but after walking a few steps, she ran into the third prince Mo Yiming again.

This guy was obviously waiting for her. When he saw her coming, he stared at her with burning eyes.

Then, without waiting for her to speak, he asked directly: "Why did you choose Mo Yunchen?"

She was speechless. Why did it never end?

How many times does she have to explain this reason? From the emperor to Mo Zhenyu, to Ye Yin, and now Mo Yiming, does she have to make up a suitable reason for everyone she meets?

So she replied very rudely, "What the hell is it to you?!"

Mo Yiming didn't quite understand what she said, but he knew that what she meant was "What does it have to do with you?". Combined with her impatient and cold tone, if she expressed it more directly, it should mean "It's none of your business."

"You chose him. Does that mean you gave up Gu Qinglan and chose to support me to become the crown prince?" Mo Yiming couldn't help but ask.

But if she was supporting him, shouldn't she choose him? Then he could become the crown prince directly. But she chose Mo Yunchen, which really puzzled him.

It's a pity that he hasn't had the chance to see her in the past few days. He finally waited for her today, so he must get to know her today.

Xue Huang didn't want to get entangled with him, so she walked past him.

But he kept chasing her, and said as he walked: "I really can't understand your reason. I didn't expect you to choose King Hanxi. His status is indeed higher than Gu Qinglan, but don't you want to be with Gu Qinglan? Now it seems that you don't have much affection for Gu Qinglan! He and Duke Jingguo didn't come to court today. Could it be that they were hurt by you and don't want to see anyone?"

Xue Huang stopped and looked at him coldly, "Third Prince, I admire your courage to commit suicide! As long as you don't commit suicide, you really don't learn your lesson!"

Mo Yiming looked at her fearlessly, "Inside the Imperial Palace, what can you do to me?!"

"You have a bad memory. I remember telling you that I can't do anything to you in the palace, but it's hard to say once you leave the palace. Have you forgotten the lesson from the past few days so quickly?"
