Both worlds are like dreams

"Yes, yes," Mo Ruilin smiled, "This is all thanks to you."

Mo Xingyue smiled complacently and called her personal maid, "This is my maid Lian Xin. Yun Qing, you can go with her. If you don't understand something, just ask her."

"Yes." Yun Qing responded and stepped back.

Mo Ruilin continued, "There have been many people coming in and out of Yuehua Palace these days. It's hard to guarantee that there won't be spies from other forces mixed in. Miss Yun Qing is Brother Wei's capable person. With her by your side, she can help you deal with many things."

"Yun Qing is indeed very capable, and she is more careful than me in some matters. Since she is here, I will leave the palace for a while."

"Where are you going?" Mo Xingyue asked.

"Let's walk around." Xue Huang stood up, "You guys can chat first."

Having said that, Xue Huang stood up and walked out the door.

Mo Ruilin chased out, "Snow Phoenix."

Xue Huang turned to look at him, "What's wrong?"

Mo Ruilin hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's go see Qinglan."

Xue Huang's expression tensed, "What happened to him? The antidote to the Heart-Eating Gu should be enough for two or three days. Could it be..."

"No," Murray explained hurriedly, "You misunderstood. He has been on sick leave recently. The doctor said that he was too worried and hurt his mind."

Xue Huang was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand."

"Do you want me to take you there?"

"No need. Xingyue is going to marry Dongchu soon. You should spend more time with her."

Mo Ruilin nodded, "Then you should be careful."

"Okay." Xue Huang responded and quietly left the palace.

She did not go through the palace gate, but relied on her own skills to leave the cold palace.

The streets of Shangyang City are now decorated with lights and colors, and the faces of the people are all filled with joy.

The marriage between the two countries was celebrated by the whole country.

Xue Huang walked on the street, but she didn't feel happy at all.

When she passed by the pear blossom cake stall, she stopped unconsciously.

The stall owner greeted her warmly, "Girl, I remember you, do you want to buy some pear blossom cake?"

Xuehuang put down a silver ingot, picked up a box of pear blossom cake from the stall and left.

"Girl," the stall owner quickly caught up with another box, "you gave too much."

"It's okay. I've always liked your pear blossom cake."

The stall owner handed her the box of snacks and said, "If you like it, you must come here often in the future. This is the milk osmanthus cake that I just made. I'll give it to you to try."

"Thank you very much."

Xue Huang left with the two boxes of pastries. When she reached the intersection ahead, she saw a familiar person. Although he tried to conceal his identity, he was obviously waiting for her.

She said nothing, walked towards the carriage behind the man, and left the bustling street with him.

Xue Huang didn't care where she would be taken. She was going to meet someone anyway, and she would find him even if he didn't come.

The carriage drove all the way to the vicinity of Bi Bo Lake. It was not until she got off the car that Xue Huang recognized that the place in front of her was where Kang Minmin had held the flower-viewing party.

She walked in slowly, carrying the two boxes of snacks.

The person who brought her here was Duan Yun. So the person she came to see at this moment was naturally his master, Mo Yunchen.

Calculating the time, the antidote for the heart-eating poison will only last for two or three days, so even if he doesn't take the initiative to look for her, she will go to see him.

Mo Yunchen was tasting wine in the pavilion in the backyard. After Duan Yun brought her there, he left and ordered his men to guard the surroundings.

Xue Huang sat opposite Mo Yunchen, put the box in her hand on the table, and did not say anything.

Mo Yunchen poured her a glass of wine, which smelled like peaches. But the wine jar was familiar to Xuehuang, it was from Fengchun Tavern.

The wine brewing skills of the tavern master are indeed superb. As long as she can think of any flavor, the master can brew it.

Xuehuang picked up the wine glass and took a sip. It had the light fragrance of peach and a slightly sweet taste. Overall, it had a light and refreshing taste.

She didn't hate it, but she couldn't say she liked it either, so after drinking one glass, she didn't drink any more.

Mo Yunchen said calmly, "Don't you like it?"

Xue Huang did not answer, but picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Mo Yunchen looked at her actions with a slightly deep look in his eyes, but he didn't say anything. He opened another jar of wine and poured her a glass.

This time the wine has a rich sweet-scented osmanthus aroma that is refreshing. The texture of the wine is like milk, and the color is light golden.

Xue Huang picked up the cup, smelled it first, and then tasted it.

This was the osmanthus glutinous rice wine that she had mentioned to the winemaker before. She didn't expect that it could actually be brewed.

She had drunk osmanthus wine before, but this osmanthus glutinous rice wine had a different flavor. I wonder if it was what the boy had told her about.

Seeing her expression, Mo Yunchen knew that the wine must be to her taste. He took the wine jar and wanted to pour her another glass, but she refused.

Xue Huang covered the cup with her hand and said calmly, "You asked me to come here, not just to drink, right?"

"Don't you think the wine in this tavern is quite interesting?"

"do not think so."

Mo Yunchen smiled faintly, "During the time when you became a puppet, you actually liked this kind of wine."

Xue Huang's face turned slightly cold. Although she had lost consciousness during that period, after she woke up, everything was imprinted in her mind.

She remembered that Mo Yunchen controlled her to kill the Gu King, and she also remembered that he used her to hurt Gu Qinglan, but she also remembered that he treated her wounds, fed her medicine, and took her for a walk in the yard. She also remembered that he would prepare her favorite food for her three meals a day. During that period, they were together almost every day. Although he never did anything excessive to her, he was also closer than an ordinary relationship.

It seemed as if he actually cherished her a little.

But Xue Huang would rather not remember all this, but he insisted on bringing it up.

"I don't remember." She said coldly.

Mo Yunchen looked at her cold expression, "Really?"

"Is it not possible?" Xue Huang asked coldly, "Don't you have anything you have done that you don't remember?"

Mo Yunchen didn't answer, but took out a bottle of medicine from his sleeve and placed it in front of her.

Xue Huang put away the medicine bottle, picked up the two boxes of snacks, and stood up to leave.

"Wait a moment." Mo Yunchen said.

Xue Huang stood there, "What else do you want?"

"Go back and tell Wei Yunzhou not to do any more futile actions."

"What do you mean?"

"Go ask him. Don't let it happen again."

Xue Huang frowned slightly and walked out of the yard with confusion.

Duan Yun's carriage was still at the door. When he saw her come out, he lifted the curtain and waited for her to get in.

"Wei Mansion." Xue Huang said, then got on the carriage and sat down.

Duan Yun sent her back to the mansion, but stopped at the side door of the Wei Mansion.

Xue Huang knew that he was intentionally avoiding the eyes and ears of Shen Congfeng and his group, so she didn't care and returned to the mansion through the side door.

But once I entered, I saw that the huge mansion was already filled with boxes.

She finally walked back to the backyard garden and saw Luo Ning directing people to record her dowry list and then arrange all the items in order so that they could be taken away on the wedding day.

"Sister Luo Ning." Xue Huang called out.

Luo Ning was so focused on the boxes that she didn't notice that it was her approaching. She was a little surprised to hear the voice and turned to look at her. "Why did you come back alone?"

Xue Huang looked around and said, "I didn't expect that you, my sister, would worry about these trivial matters."

Luo Ning came to her side and said, "No matter what, this is your dowry. The young master and I should prepare it properly for you."

"Thank you, sister." Xue Huang pulled her to sit in the pavilion and poured her a cup of tea. "You have worked hard these days."

Luo Ning held her hand and looked at her with some heartache, "Xue Huang, I know you have made your choice, but I still want to ask you, have you really thought it through?"

Xue Huang nodded, "Sister, don't worry."

Luo Ning looked at her calm and indifferent appearance. After not seeing her for a while, she felt that Xue Huang had grown up suddenly. Her face no longer had the familiar smile and carefreeness, but the calmer she was, the more distressed she felt. "I'm really worried about you like this."

Xue Huang smiled and said, "Sister, you really don't have to worry about me. I have thought it through a long time ago. Even if I can't be with Brother Qinglan for the rest of my life, our hearts will always be together. As long as he is safe, that's all that matters."

"And what about your own happiness?"

"As long as he is doing well, I will feel at ease."

Luo Ning sighed, "Having said that, you have ultimately trapped your entire life in a cage. And the person you are going to marry, he..." Luo Ning paused and did not continue.

"Sister, I know you are worried about me. It is true that what happened between him and me was just a deal, but I am now the princess of Dongchu. Even if he married me for other purposes, he still has to consider my identity. Could it be that..." She lowered her eyes, not letting Luo Ning see the bitter smile in her eyes, "Can he still take my life?"

"Young Master and his friends have been working hard for the past three years, just to allow you to live the life you want when you come back. But they never thought that fate would play tricks on them in the end."

Xue Huang was silent for a moment, and ended the topic, "Where is my junior uncle?"

"I went to the posthouse with Grand Tutor Dong Chu. I think they went there to learn the etiquette for the wedding."

"What about my second uncle?"

Luo Ning's expression flickered, "He went out for something."

Xue Huang noticed the unnatural look on Luo Ning's face, but she remained calm and took out the whistle that Wei Yunzhou had given her and blew it.

However, Zhuo Yang did not show up either.

"Zhuo Yang has something to do too?"

Luo Ning smiled and said, "You are the young master's niece. When you get married, he will naturally prepare a dowry for you, so he arranged for Zhuo Yang to do this early in the morning."

"The dowry is already enough, there is no need to prepare anything else."

"No matter what, a woman's marriage is a big deal, and both etiquette and consideration are essential."

Xue Huang was silent for a moment, then asked, "Have Xu Yao and Xiao Ling'er been here recently?"

"After all, they are from Beiyuan, so it is not appropriate for them to frequently come in and out of your house, so they all left a few days ago."

Xue Huang frowned slightly, she hadn't seen Xu Yao for a long time. Xiao Ling'er left without saying hello. She finally came out for once, and everyone was away. It seemed normal, but something seemed wrong.

Especially Luo Ning's expression just now, it was as if there was something being hidden from her.

"Do you have something to do with them?" Luo Ning asked.

Xue Huang handed the antidote to Luo Ning and said, "Sister, please give this bottle of medicine and snacks to my second uncle and ask him to pass it on to Brother Qinglan."

"Okay." Luo Ning put away the antidote, "But, don't you plan to stay in the mansion?"

Xue Huang shook her head, "I'll go back to the palace first."

"Then I'll have someone prepare the carriage for you."

"No thanks," Xue Huang said with a smile, "I want to walk alone."

"then you go."
