Both worlds are like dreams

Jinxiu Building

After Gu Qinglan entered the palace and reported the situation to the emperor, he went directly to Jinxiu Tower.

Just now in the hall, Shen Congfeng was also there, and he exaggerated the unsuccessful rescue efforts.

Ye Yin also hinted to Phantom to kill someone with a borrowed knife in the hall, and the scene was extremely chaotic for a while.

Now not only was the second prince not rescued, but the fifth prince was also lost, and the emperor was furious.

Fortunately, Duke Jingguo pleaded for him, and Gu Qinglan was able to buy some time temporarily.

The most urgent task is to find out where Xuyao took the person.

He didn't even bother to treat his wounds and ran straight to the third floor.

Gu Qinglan first came to Xuehuang's room and knocked on the door. When no one responded, he went to Wei Yunzhou's room, but did not see Xuehuang. Wei Yunzhou was the only one in the room.

"Brother Wei," Gu Qinglan asked anxiously, "Miss Xuehuang hasn't come back yet?"

Hearing this, Wei Yunzhou's expression changed, "Isn't she with you?"

Gu Qinglan was surprised and asked, "Before I entered the palace, I asked her to return to Jinxiu Tower. Could it be that she has come back?"

Wei Yunzhou frowned, and just as Luo Ning walked in, he asked, "Where's Xue Huang?"

"I haven't seen her since. What happened?"

"Send someone out to look for him." Wei Yunzhou said.

Seeing his cold and serious expression, Luo Ning immediately nodded and turned to leave.

Gu Qinglan was very worried. They had clearly agreed to meet at Jinxiu Tower, and he believed that she would never go back on her word.

Why haven't you come back yet?

Wei Yunzhou looked at the worry in Gu Qinglan's eyes, and the coldness on his face faded a little. He asked, "What happened to you guys afterwards?"

Gu Qinglan told Wei Yunzhou everything that happened in the cold palace and the palace. When he heard that Xue Huang was injured and Mo Ruilin was captured, Wei Yunzhou frowned.

As for Murilan, he just wanted to say that he was speechless and really stupid.

As for that girl, she has always been a daring person. She took the medicine bottle from Gu Qinglan, which might mean she has got some clues.

But he couldn't say anything to comfort her.

But Wei Yunzhou was also very worried. If he guessed wrong, where was the injured Snow Phoenix now? Would she be in danger?

When all of them were held in the cold palace, Wei Yunzhou was the only one left in the Second Prince's Mansion. He had to fight to clear his way while also being on guard against assassins from Phantom's men, so that battle was not easy for him.

Originally he had found Mo Zhenyu's trail, but when he was fighting with Lin Yu, he realized that the Black and White Devils were going to assassinate Mo Zhenyu, so he could only stop them first.

Lin Yu and Xiao Ling'er also took the opportunity to take Mo Zhenyu out of the Prince's Mansion. By the time all the remaining soldiers in the mansion were under control, they had disappeared.

However, Wei Yunzhou immediately sent the secret agents of the Mountain River Sect to track her whereabouts, and there should be results soon. But at this moment, the disappearance of Xue Huang caused a crack in his originally calm state of mind.

Wei Yunzhou and Gu Qinglan both frowned, and immediately stood up in tacit understanding. They looked at each other and understood each other's meaning.

Xue Huang spent this night in the cold prison, while Gu Qinglan and Wei Yunzhou spent the whole night searching.

The two of them searched from midnight to dawn, and finally met at the palace wall outside the cold palace to see if they could find some traces from the source, but they only waited for Luo Ning to bring news about Xu Yao, but no news about Xue Huang.

Luo Ning nodded, "The last place Xu Yao and his party appeared was the North Lane. They did not leave the city and should still be in the city. As for Xue Huang, the last place she appeared was this palace."

"Keep looking." Wei Yunzhou said with a sullen face. Previously, he asked Luo Ning to send people to secretly protect her, but Xue Huang's martial arts were too high, and she could often leave those people behind, so now she has completely lost her trace.

"Since it finally appeared here, we can search around here carefully." Luo Ning said.

Several people began to disperse from the palace wall where Gu Qinglan and Xue Huang entered, carefully examining the surrounding traces.

After about an incense stick of time, Luo Ning called Wei Yunzhou and Gu Qinglan and handed them a silver butterfly bead flower in her palm.

"This is Snow Phoenix's hair ornament, and it looks like there were traces of a fight here." Luo Ning said. "There are traces of blood."

Gu Qinglan took it and frowned, "She was already injured at the time. It was my fault. I shouldn't have let her go back alone."

Wei Yunzhou glanced around and frowned. This place was between two high walls and extremely quiet. If a fight broke out here, it would not be easy to be noticed. But he was very familiar with the traces left by the ice and was sure that Xue Huang must have fought with someone here.

But who is the opponent?

"Don't worry for now. Xuehuang is so smart, she will be fine." Luo Ning said.

"Send out all the secret sentries. Even if we have to turn Shangyang City upside down, we must find her for me." Wei Yunzhou said coldly.

……

Xue Huang spent a night in the cold prison, and was awakened by the sound of the iron door opening in the morning. She opened her eyes and looked at Mo Yunchen at the door, with some dissatisfaction in her eyes.

Mo Yunchen was even more speechless at her leisurely manner. Did he not know what it meant to be in jail? Why did he feel like he had broken into her home?

Xue Huang looked at the food box in his hand, her eyes began to light up, and she immediately stood up and took it. "I am so lucky to have King Han Xi personally deliver food to me!" Xue Huang said this insincerely as she opened the food box. Inside was a plate of steamed, crystal clear glutinous rice cakes and a bowl of fragrant ginseng soup.

She had been fighting all day yesterday and had no time to eat. She was already starving. She immediately sat down at the short, broken table and started eating.

Mo Yunchen looked at her defenseless appearance and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will poison you?"

"If you wanted to kill me, you would have done it a long time ago. Why do you have to do this?

Trouble." Xue Huang said calmly. "Don't mention it, your chef's cooking skills are pretty good."

Mo Yunchen sat opposite her and said, "I heard that Situ Yue

Is it true that I once hired the Eagle Clan to kill you?"

Xue Huang glanced at him and said, "Isn't Phantom the

Ling's largest intelligence network? Can't you find this information?"

"I'm curious, why did he target you?"

"I also heard that Situ Yue was because of your actions.

"Is it because of recommendation that he became the Minister of Rites of Beiling?"

"That's right." Mo Yunchen said.

"Then I'm curious about the murderous nature of

Why did you let Situ Yue go?"

Mo Yunchen seemed to have heard something funny.

He actually laughed, "You are the first person who dares to say that I am a murderer."

Xue Huang looked at his somewhat crazy smile and

For some reason, I felt that his smile was colder than this ice prison.

Mo Yunchen continued: "For me, as long as

As long as it is valuable, everyone can survive.”

"So King Xu is also valuable to you.

Just returned from disappearing?"

Mo Yunchen's eyes darkened.

Xue's words revealed a hint of appreciation, "Very accurate analysis."

"Thank you! It was my brother Qinglan who guessed it.

But I am also puzzled, such a

Or why would you let go of someone you and Shen Congfeng hate so much?" Xue Huang stared at him.

Xu Yao's disappearance back then must have been related to Mo Yunchen and Shen Congfeng. How did they make such a potential threat disappear willingly, and how did they make him endure and obey them for fifteen years?

Xue Huang thought of the medicine bottle that Xu Yao gave them. She had always felt familiar with it and felt like she had seen it somewhere before. It was not until Mo Yunchen appeared that she remembered that she had seen it in the palace of the King of Shuanglin City, which was also Mo Yunchen's house.

Mo Yunchen is good at making poisons and refining poison. Could it be that he used the poisonous poison to control Xu Yao?

"If you're curious about my secret, then exchange your secret for mine." Mo Yunchen said.

"I don't have any secrets." Xue Huang said with a smile.

"What is the huge gate buried in your heart?"

Xue Huang tilted her head, a sneer appeared on her lips, "If you have the ability, open it."

"I believe that even if it is a secret hidden in the deepest part of your memory, I can eventually find it out." Mo Yunchen was unmoved.

Xue Huang's eyes were as deep as the sea, and there seemed to be ice in them. "Then you give it a try."

Mo Yunchen met those eyes that were like the sea of stars, and suddenly he found himself in a glacier and snowfield. Snow was falling all over the sky, and the temperature here was extremely cold, as if it came from the underworld of hell.

Even he felt the cold biting into his bones.

He turned around and saw a white figure standing not far away. Her snow-white clothes blended in with the surroundings, leaving only her long floating hair. To her right was a sea of white flowers, while to her left was a sea of red flowers.

He remembered that this flower was described in the book as "Red Spider Lily".

In some legends, red spider lilies, also known as Lycoris radiata, bloom in hell, representing death and depravity. White spider lilies, also known as Mandragora, bloom in heaven, representing rebirth.

A heaven, a hell.

And far ahead of her, the blue sky was as clear as the sea, with hidden rays of light and rising clouds, like a fairyland.

In a flash of light, he unexpectedly appeared on a battlefield.

The blood flowed like a river. He saw his former self, riding a horse and whipping it, his white clothes stained with blood, as if he was swallowed by the sea of blood.

He closed his eyes, as if he didn't want to recall all this. After a long time, all the sounds disappeared, leaving only corpses and flowing blood on the ground. The heavy snow melted into the blood and gathered into a river.

He stepped over the corpses and walked forward. Wherever he passed, everything turned into ice, but it could not cover up the glaring red color.

He pushed aside the layers of snow and saw more corpses and a desperate young man in white. He looked only fourteen or fifteen years old, with features very similar to Mo Yunchen, but much younger. There was no trace of coldness, weirdness, or the indifference and nobility of a mastermind on his face. There was only despair and emptiness, as if he was the only one left in the world, abandoned in this world of ice and snow.

Mo Yunchen met his gaze, and a sense of time and space confusion arose spontaneously. The young man in white suddenly smiled, a smile that was desperate and cold, and his eyes turned blood red, as if some demon had awakened in his body.

He stood up, holding up his two swords, and slowly walked past him. Stepping on the blood on the ground, he looked like a Shura, yet so noble and elegant, inviolable.

Mo Yunchen watched his former self getting farther and farther away, and suddenly he felt a suffocating pain in his heart. The young man in white had been completely buried in the snow, and the rest of his life was only this blood-red dress.

This was his memory, his past, all presented in bloody form before his eyes. For once, a trace of sadness flashed across his eyes.
