Both worlds are like dreams

Xue Huang slept for a whole day and night. She woke up once, saw the medicine warmed in a small stove at the bedside, took it and drank it all in one gulp, then went back to sleep.

She felt so relaxed during the sleep that her injuries seemed to have mostly healed.

Hearing that it was raining outside, Xuehuang opened her eyes but still stayed in bed and refused to get up.

The gem on her neck lit up slightly, and the boy's voice rang out, "Everyone has been rescued, do you still plan to stay here?"

Xue Huang was silent. Situ Yue was dead, and Yue Zhu and the old woman's revenge was avenged, but his real intentions had not yet been found out. Logically, she should continue to pursue the truth, such as what Situ Yue wanted from her, such as her identity.

But there was another voice in her heart telling her not to worry about these things, to repay kindness with kindness and to repay hatred with hatred, and to come and go as freely as the wind.

"I knew you didn't want to leave." the boy said again.

"You know what? I've always had a strange feeling about this city. It's as if I was destined to come here."

The boy's tone was a little sighing, "A sense of fate?"

"That seems to be true." Xue Huang said with a smile.

"Have you thought about what you will face if you stay?"

"How can I predict what will happen in the future?"

"If I told you that your future is a series of tragedies, would you believe me?"

Xue Huang turned over, holding the gem, and asked, "No way? Is my luck that bad?"

"Things in the world are unpredictable. Maybe one day your character will not be up to standard and you will start to have bad luck."

"You are cursing me!" Xue Huang rolled her eyes and sat up from the bed. "I think my character is pretty good, so there is no chance that day will ever come."

"If that day ever comes, it will be too late for you to regret."

Xue Huang smiled and said, "With you here, I believe you can definitely help me avoid bad luck."

"I'm afraid it's fate, and there's nothing I can do about it."

"What's wrong with you? You seem weird."

"Nothing," the boy said, "I have consumed a lot of my strength this time. I need to rest well in the next few days. You should keep a low profile and don't cause any trouble."

"Then you should have a good rest." Xue Huang said with a smile.

The young man's voice was no longer heard, and Xue Huang got up, washed up, changed into a clean white dress and went out.

Luo Ning happened to be bringing her some food. When she saw her leaving, she said, "Your injury hasn't healed yet. You should rest more."

"I'm fine," Xue Huang said with a smile, "Sister Luo Ning, thank you for your care. You don't have to bring me food in the future. If I'm hungry, I will go to the kitchen to find food myself."

"Why are you so polite? Since you call me sister, isn't it natural for you to take care of your younger sister?" Luo Ning said with a smile.

Xue Huang hugged her arm affectionately and said with a smile: "I am so lucky to have a sister like you."

"Eat first, then take the medicine, and come to your second uncle's room later."

"Let's go to his room and eat." Xue Huang pulled her directly to Wei Yunzhou's room. His door was not closed, and he was sitting there drinking tea alone. "Second Uncle."

She greeted him and sat opposite him to eat. Although she had recovered from her sleep, she had not yet finished her meal.

Wei Yunzhou silently looked at Xue Huang's complexion and thought that since she had such a good appetite, she should be fine.

This time they cooperated well. After learning that she was taken away by Mo Yunchen, the secret sentry of Shanhe Gate kept a close eye on Han Xi Palace and Xu Yao's party, so he basically knew what happened in the palace and that she left with Xu Yao.

With three options to choose from, when he and Gu Qinglan had no bargaining chips in their hands, the key was obviously to rescue Xue Huang, who held the only bargaining chip.

So how did he confirm that Xue Huang had found the antidote for the blood poison? In fact, it was all based on guesswork and his understanding and trust of her.

But he still secretly mobilized the assassins of Shanhemen and made another preparation. No matter what, the three people had to be rescued. But fortunately, his bet was right.

"This is an invitation from the Fifth Prince," Luo Ning placed a gold-embossed invitation in front of Wei Yunzhou, "He will hold a banquet at Tianxiang Tower to thank you for saving his life."

Wei Yunzhou glanced at the post and continued drinking tea, "Not interested."

When Xue Huang heard that it was Tian Xiang Lou, her eyes lit up immediately, "Second Uncle, go ahead, I have never tasted the food in Tian Xiang Lou."

Wei Yunzhou twitched his lips, "What else do you know besides eating?"

"Who told you to cook such terrible food in Guigu?" Xue Huang said with a smile.

Ever since the Great Master and the Third Master left the valley, Wei Yunzhou and the Junior Master Su Linjin took turns cooking, and these two guys who were good at holding swords were obviously not suitable for holding spatulas. Since then, Xue Huang has never had a decent meal.

Wei Yunzhou twitched his lips. Is it necessary to talk about this old dark history?

Luo Ning smiled and said, "The Fifth Prince is very sincere. I heard that he even prepared a gift for you."

"Second uncle?" Xue Huang looked at Wei Yunzhou expectantly.

Wei Yunzhou was silent for a moment, then said, "Go if you want to."

Xuehuang smiled happily, and didn't even feel the bitterness of the medicine anymore. She drank it all in one breath.

After that, she stayed in Wei Yunzhou's room to meditate, but Wei Yunzhou ignored her and read a book by himself.

Luo Ning went out to greet the guests, and the room was quiet with only the sound of breathing.

About an hour later, Xue Huang finished regulating her breathing, sat down opposite Wei Yunzhou, and poured herself a glass of water.

After finishing the drink with satisfaction, he said, "Second Uncle, aren't you curious about Xu Yao's hiding place?"

Wei Yunzhou didn't even raise his eyelids, and said lightly: "Jingmeng Garden."

Xue Huang was surprised and asked: "Second Uncle, how many experts do you have under your command? How do they compare to Xu Yao's gang?"

"Above him."

"Do Brother Qinglan and the Fifth Prince also know their location?"

Wei Yunzhou remained silent.

"You didn't tell them?" Xue Huang's tone was calm, as if she had expected his expression. Xu Yao probably wouldn't reveal his base to Mo Ruilin and the others, so he didn't know the exact location.

"I will let them know what they should know."

Xue Huang didn't say anything.

"What?" Wei Yunzhou glanced at her, "Do you want to tell them?"

"Jingmeng Garden is just a cover. After we are all out of trouble, they should have evacuated. They will never wait for people to encircle and suppress them. It doesn't matter whether I say it or not." Xue Huang said.

"Just say what you want to say." Wei Yunzhou said calmly. "It really doesn't make any sense."

"I just don't want to lie to them." Xue Huang said. "But I... don't want to put you in danger. You and Xu Yao..."

"Stop talking." Wei Yunzhou interrupted her coldly, "My affairs have nothing to do with you."

"So what are your plans next? Let them continue to wreak havoc in Shangyang City?"

Xu Yao has been controlled by his enemies for fifteen years. Now that he is out of control, with all the new and old grudges added up, the suppressed anger may burn the entire Shangyang City.

"That's Murilan's business, it has nothing to do with me."

Xue Huang looked at his cold face and asked, "Do you feel embarrassed?"

"Mind your own business. Don't try to guess what I'm thinking."

"I just care about you." Xue Huang said with a smile.

"Don't you have anything else to say?" Wei Yunzhou asked.

"Mo Yunchen has his own plans, and Shen Congfeng doesn't seem to trust him. I didn't know what Bai Yu was looking for when he went to Han Xi Palace in the middle of the night, and I happened to see him. So I asked him to pass the message to you. Xu Yao and his gang should have a secret passage in Jingmeng Garden that leads directly to the outside of the city. But I was blindfolded the whole time. I don't know where the entrance and exit of the secret passage are." Xue Huang said.

Wei Yunzhou was silent for a moment, then said, "Don't worry about this matter anymore. Don't go near Jingmeng Garden again."

"Okay." Xue Huang agreed very happily. Seeing Wei Yunzhou's surprised look, she explained: "Since you promised to take me to Tianxiang Tower tonight, I will listen to you recently."

Wei Yunzhou twitched his eyes, "If you really want to be obedient, then let's set off back to Guigu."

"I'll think about it." Xue Huang smiled and ran out.

In the evening, Gu Qinglan came to Jinxiu Tower in a carriage and came personally to pick up Xuehuang and Wei Yunzhou to go to Tianxiang Tower together.

In the carriage, Wei Yunzhou said nothing. Gu Qinglan was used to it, looking at Xue Huang's rosy face, he still asked with concern: "Have you recovered from your injury?"

"It's almost done." Xue Huang said with a smile.

"This is for you." Gu Qinglan handed her a box.

Xue Huang opened it and saw that it was her favorite pear blossom cake. "How did you know I wanted to eat this?"

"I happened to pass by and brought it to you." Gu Qinglan said.

Upon hearing this, the coachman sighed silently outside. His son was not just passing by, he had obviously taken a detour to buy it. He carefully held it in his hands all the way, fearing that the carriage would break it.

Xuehuang's eyes were full of smiles. She felt that the pear blossom cake had a pleasant fragrance and an indescribable sweetness.
