Both worlds are like dreams

Hua Yu had already had a banquet prepared inside, and several people took their seats one after another. The others were also accommodated by Lu Wenxuan's deputy general.

Since they were not familiar with Mo Ruilin and Mo Yunchen, Lu Wenxuan and Hua Yu were a little reserved. They only cared about their injuries and recent conditions and did not talk about anything else.

Hua Yu also keenly noticed the changes in Xue Huang. She looked at Xue Huang and Mo Yunchen from time to time. From the first glance, she could see the alienation and indifference between them. Although the two of them were sitting together, they did not look like a couple at all.

"Your Highness," Lu Wenxuan said, "It has been quite a difficult journey for you. Now that you have arrived in Muhua City, please rest assured and stay here to recuperate. I will do my best to protect you all."

"Thank you, General Lu." Mo Ruilin said with a smile. "I have seen the people living and working in peace and contentment along the way, which shows that General Lu is loyal and brave. It is a blessing for our dynasty to have a general like General Lu guarding the country."

"Your Highness, you are too kind." Lu Wenxuan clasped his fists and bowed. "This is my duty. And if it weren't for the help of Your Highness and the princess at that time, Muhua City would not have recovered so quickly. I would like to offer a glass of tea to Your Highness and the princess instead of wine."

Mo Ruilin raised his glass, "You are too polite, General."

Xue Huang also picked up the cup and drank it all with them.

"I'm afraid we'll have to bother you for a few more days this time. Everyone's injuries are very serious." said Mo Ruilin.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I have sent someone to invite the best doctor in the city, and he will treat you later."

Hearing this, Xue Huang's expression changed slightly, "How is Doctor Wen now?"

"He..." Lu Wenxuan sighed, "Doctor Wen fell ill not long after the princess left the city."

"Is it because of the plague?" Xue Huang asked.

"That's part of the reason," Lu Wenxuan said. "In order to save people, Doctor Wen worked day and night. He's already old, so his body can't bear it."

"So how is his condition now?"

"It's pretty stable."

Xue Huang sighed in her heart, it is said that it is difficult for a doctor to heal himself, and the doctor who has spent his whole life saving lives and healing the wounded cannot escape this fate in the end.

Lu Wenxuan comforted her, "Doctor Wen is a great doctor, and he has many disciples. Now they are all around him to take care of him. As long as he is carefully nursed back to health, he will definitely get better. Princess, don't worry."

Xue Huang nodded.

They chatted about other things, but Xue Huang remained silent. She was thinking about something.

She was brought back to her senses by the sound beside her. She turned around and saw that Mo Yunchen had lost his grip on the chopsticks and dropped them on the table.

His right arm was injured. The hungry wolf's teeth had bitten into his bones, so his arm was swollen and he could hardly move it. Even picking up food was a little difficult for him.

From the time he sat down until now, he seemed to have only drunk a few sips of tea and hadn't said a word.

Xue Huang silently helped him pick up some dishes and put them in the bowl without looking at Mo Yunchen.

After sitting for a while, Hua Yu looked a little uncomfortable, so Xue Huang took the initiative to help her to rest.

"Aunt, slow down."

"It's okay, I'm in good health. It's Wenxuan's fault that he was too nervous." Hua Yu said with a smile.

"He feels sorry for you, so naturally he'll be a little nervous."

"I'm fine now." Hua Yu held her hand, "But you..." She hesitated and didn't continue.

When they met this time, she clearly noticed that Xuehuang was worried, and she was no longer as quirky as before, with a melancholy look between her brows.

"Aunt, if you want to ask anything, just ask directly."

"I have heard about your affairs in Shangyang City. I don't understand much about the affairs of the court, but I know that you don't like King Hanxi. The one you like is that Prince Gu. Why didn't you choose him?"

"If you like someone, you don't necessarily have to be together with him." Xue Huang said calmly. "As long as he is doing well, I will feel at ease."
