Both worlds are like dreams

Xue Huang was quietly watching him from the bank of the long river not far away, as if she was appreciating the expression on his face. Behind her, the long river was as blue as the sea, and the sun shone on her, as if the goddess of the sky had descended into the mortal world. Her agility was incompatible with this sea of blood, as if it could dispel the darkness.

Suddenly, everything disappeared, leaving only them in this ice prison.

Frost condensed around and the air was eerily quiet.

Xue Huang looked at his calm face and said indifferently: "I let you see my state of mind, so naturally I have to see your past."

Mo Yunchen recovered from the blow of memories, but suddenly felt that he had fallen into another blow. Looking at the quirky girl in front of him, he had clearly sealed her internal energy and she was still injured, so how did she manage to spy on his memory?

Xue Huang had indeed never expected that this cold-blooded and ruthless King Han Xi, whose name alone frightened people, would have such a painful past. It seemed that the Battle of Beiyuan had completely changed his life. What kind of pain could have made him look so desperate? Xue Huang even felt the same way for a moment, as if she had also experienced such pain at some point in time.

"Let's make a deal." Xue Huang looked unclear.

"Oh?" Mo Yunchen looked at her with interest, "Do you have the capital to negotiate?"

"Then why don't we make a bet first." She said lightly.

"What do you want to bet on?"

"I'm betting that Xuyao will escape your control and become the thing you regret most in your life."

Mo Yunchen said nothing, his face slightly gloomy.

"Don't you dare?"

"What's the stakes?"

"Your secret." Xue Huang said.

"Okay." Mo Yunchen agreed readily, "My bet is also your secret. But you have to tell me an answer, and then I will agree to this bet."

"what is the answer?"

"What does Situ Yue want from you?"

God knows. To be honest, she really didn't know. She grew up in Guigu since she was a child. This was her first time in Beiling. Who knew that Situ Yue had such a crazy mind that he actually hired a whole sect of assassins to deal with her. She wanted to know the answer, but unfortunately he died too quickly.

But Xue Huang didn't miss any opportunity to negotiate. She stretched her arms and said, "I'll tell you when I'm happy. It's uncomfortable to live here. Find me another place."

Mo Yunchen looked at her coldly, with his eyes and eyebrows curved, like a cunning little fox.

"How is it?" Xue Huang raised an eyebrow, "Deal?"

Mo Yunchen didn't say anything. He stood up and pressed some mechanism outside the door, and the chain on Xue Huang's hand was untied.

Xue Huang moved her wrists. It felt good to be without the shackles. She followed Mo Yunchen and left the ice prison.

As soon as she walked out of the cell, Xue Huang discovered that this should be a secret room built underground. In addition to the ice cell, there was also a closed stone room, which seemed to contain a lot of medicinal materials. Xue Huang smelled the scent of medicinal herbs.

She silently looked around, and when her eyes swept across the stone slab in the depths, she seemed to feel that something was wrong, because she always felt that there seemed to be something hidden under the stone slab.

Mo Yunchen stood on the steps. Seeing her looking over there, he suddenly said quietly, "Sometimes, not being so curious is a good thing."

Xue Huang turned and looked at him, expressionless, her tone as cold as ice, "Thank you for your care."

Mo Yunchen did not miss the coldness that flashed across her eyes. He did not say anything, but just looked at her meaningfully and continued walking forward.

Xue Huang followed Mo Yunchen out of the secret room, which was actually built in his study, with a secret door leading to the underground. Xue Huang couldn't wait to walk out of the door, the sunlight shone on her, bringing long-lost warmth, but also made her dizzy for a moment.

After staying in that dark place for a night, she felt a little uncomfortable when she suddenly saw the sunlight, but she still tried her best to feel the warmth.

Because no one knows what Mo Yunchen’s next cell will look like.

Mo Yunchen looked at her and raised his head to glance at the sunlight, but his eyes were still cold.

"Where are you going to lock me up?" Xue Huang asked. "It would be best if I could see the sun. I don't like the dark."

Mo Yunchen found it a little funny, "Do you really think you are here to be a guest in my palace?"

"Don't be so stingy," Xue Huang said, "We are in a gambling relationship now, so I am not your prisoner."

"A person who can't get out is no different from a prisoner." Mo Yunchen sneered.

Xue Huang glanced at him, "Really? If I wanted to run, you couldn't stop me."

"You can try it." Mo Yunchen said this without even turning his head. He waved to the guards beside him, gave some instructions, and then left.

Xue Huang was a little surprised. He didn't even lock her up? What was he planning?

If this is the case, you might consider running away.

However, Mo Yunchen left her here so confidently, he must have been sure that she could not leave the palace. Her internal energy was sealed, but her skills were still there. The palace was heavily guarded, and she really could not defeat them.

After hesitating for a while, Xue Huang took out the medicine bottle from his waist. Since this thing was related to him, maybe he could find clues by keeping it.

She immediately returned to Mo Yunchen's study and tried to open the mechanism again. The place where medicine was refined was downstairs, and maybe she could find something there.

But Xue Huang checked carefully and did not find any mechanism that could open the secret door.

"What's going on?" Xue Huang frowned. "I just came out from here. How could there be no trap?"

"Try the bamboo slips on the bookshelf next to you." said the voice in the gem.

Xue Huang followed what he said and came to the bookshelf. She picked up the bamboo slips one by one and threw them on the ground. She didn't find any mechanism until she had thrown the last one.

"It doesn't look like there are any other mechanisms in this room."

"How is it possible? Is he a ghost?" Xue Huang frowned. She just didn't believe it! She simply rummaged through Mo Yunchen's study, throwing all the bamboo slips, rice paper, brushes and ink, famous paintings, and antiques onto the ground without any hesitation.

Soon, the entire study was in a mess, as if it had been robbed. In the end, she almost tore down the house, but still found nothing.

Xue Huang's injury had not yet healed. After all this running around, she felt a little tired, so she lay down on the soft couch behind the desk to rest.

The guards outside saw her acting so recklessly inside, but no one stepped forward to stop her. However, they could not help but be shocked, and they all tilted their heads to peek. The prince's order was that they only needed to watch her and not let her leave the house, and she could do whatever she wanted, so no one really stopped her.

However, all the guards were worried about this daring and unscrupulous girl. Could she really demolish the palace?
