Both worlds are like dreams

"I know about this. Shen Congfeng's private army has always been well hidden."

"So, just do your best to deal with it. I will also protect myself. We have nothing to worry about each other, so we don't have any weaknesses."

"I'll tell him."

"One more thing. Regarding Emperor Ling's condition, can we ask Mr. Dongfang to help diagnose and treat it?"

"You suspect his condition is not simple?"

Xue Huang nodded, "But it may be that I am overthinking it."

"Leave it to me." Rong Yu said.

Seeing that Rong Yu was still a little worried, Xue Huang smiled and said, "Uncle, believe me, no matter what, I am the eldest princess of Dong Chu. With Junior Master here, they dare not embarrass me. I have always been valuable."

"Your value is the reason for the storm, but it is also the confidence you can rely on. But times have changed, and good and bad fortune are hard to predict."

"Good fortune and misfortune are interdependent." Xue Huang picked up the wine glass, "As the cause, so the effect, there is a destiny in the dark. Even if time goes back, who can guarantee that we won't repeat the same mistakes?"

Rong Yu drank it all with her, "Sometimes I always feel that you are not yourself, and you have a kind of vicissitudes that do not suit your age."

“Because I’ve grown up.”

"But we all hope that you will never grow up."

"Who doesn't grow up? Even if there is an afterlife, I will make the same choice."

"Even though you knew what you were going to face?"

"Yes. Because I am always very fortunate to have your company on this road. I can meet the people I want to meet and make up for the regrets I have missed."

Rong Yu looked at her, "Regret?"

Xue Huang smiled and said, "Although my country was destroyed and my family was ruined, I have always had relatives who protect me unconditionally." In the past, she was the Gu family, and in this life, she is living in Guigu. She has always had a lot.

"So no matter in the past or in the future, Guigu will always be behind you."

"Thank you, uncle." Xue Huang glanced out the window. "It's getting late, uncle, you should leave."

Rong Yu handed her a cloud-piercing arrow and said, "Keep it."

Xue Huang looked at the arrow and hesitated for a moment, "Uncle, do me another favor."

"You said."

"Second Uncle and Xu Yao each have a gem in their hands. It is a token of the Beiyuan royal family. Can you bring it to me?"

"What do you want to do?"

"I want to find an answer to the truth about Shen Congfeng's massacre of the Beiyuan royal family."

"Okay, I'll bring it to you as soon as possible."

Xue Huang nodded and watched Rong Yu disappear into the night.

Then, she sat on the bed and her consciousness came to Mu Guang.

"Why do you suddenly ask me to collect three gems?" Xue Huang asked.

What she said to Rong Yu just now was actually Mu Guang’s request.

"Perhaps the truth lies in these three stones. Because they do not belong to this world, but were given to your ancestors by me. If I find the truth, my memories may be fully revived."

"Mu Guang, can I ask you for a favor?"

"what?"

"Help them once, so that they can live well and create the peaceful and prosperous world you mentioned?"

"It took thousands of years for the world to reach that point. If you want to achieve it in just a few years, that's impossible."

"I know, but I hope this day can go a little faster."

"Each world has its own trajectory. Interfering too much with its course may result in incalculable costs."

"I will bear all the costs alone."

Mu Guang sighed, "Let's talk about it later. After I recover my memory."

"Thank you."

Rong Yu quickly accomplished what Xue Huang asked him to do, and on the evening of the third day, he brought the two gems to her at Changqing Palace.

By the way, I also brought her some of her favorite food.

However, he came and left in a hurry this time. He simply told her to take care of herself and left. However, there was an extra layer of guards outside Changqing Palace.

Xue Huang had a vague feeling that something was happening outside, but she couldn't go out now. She could only follow the agreement, take care of herself, and not become a constraint to anyone.

She closed the door of the bedroom, took out the three gems and placed them on the table.

"I have brought what you asked for. What should I do?"

"Open the window and shine the light of the full moon onto the three stones."

Xue Huang did as he said, put the gems together, and then opened the window.

Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month. The moonlight is bright, and the soft light shines on the gem, creating a faint blue glow.

"No response, change direction." Mu Guang said.

Xue Huang slowly turned the gem in a circle, but there was still no response.

"Did you remember it wrong?"

Mu Guang thought for a moment and said, "Pick it up and shine it in the moonlight."

Xue Huang held the gem carefully and shone it towards the moonlight again. This time, the moonlight seemed to penetrate the gem, making it crystal clear.

"Any changes?"

"Look at the ground."

Xue Huang didn't understand, but still followed his instructions and looked towards the place where the light and shadow fell. She saw a pattern in the light and shadow cast by the moonlight.

"This is... the Phoenix Feather, the totem of the Beiyuan royal family?"

"good."

"How magical!" Xue Huang exclaimed, "How could there be such a strange sight inside a gem?"

"Use your back to shine in the moonlight."

Xue Huang nodded and turned the gem over. This time she found another pattern appeared on the ground.

Compared to the previous one, this one is bigger and more detailed, as if every detail can be seen clearly.

"Is this a map?"

"It's the topographic map of the former Beiyuan Imperial City."

Xue Huang was a little surprised. She looked around carefully. Although she was not familiar with many places, she was deeply impressed by the Tai Chi Hall.

And the Changqing Palace where she lived was also on the map.

"What's the mystery here?"

"The secret lies in this map. But I can't go out now, so I can't figure it out for now. Please find a way to get a complete topographic map of the old capital of Beiyuan."

"You should have said it earlier. The uncle just left."

"Don't worry, someone is thinking about you and will come to see you."

"So what can we do now?"

"Practice. I have a feeling you'll have a tough battle to fight in the near future."

Xue Huang also had this feeling, so in the following days, she devoted all her energy to practicing the Mysterious Ice Curse.

Mo Yunchen appeared quietly late at night. He brought Xuehuang's favorite Rouge Wine and Peach Blossom Wine, sat under a blooming peach tree, and invited her to drink with him.

Xue Huang was already preparing to go to bed, and was really surprised to see him suddenly appear under the tree.

The imperial guards were outside, so he was quite brave.

She walked out silently, "Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

"What's so scary?"

Xuehuang picked up the peach blossom wine and tasted it. Tasting peach blossom wine under the peach tree, she could smell the fragrance of peach blossoms everywhere.

"What are you here for?"

"I'd like to invite you to taste wine."

“Do we have a relationship where we can enjoy wine peacefully?”

Mo Yunchen raised his eyebrows and thought about their past. It seemed that since they first met, they were either quarreling or on the way to a fight, and every time they fought, they were aiming for death, but neither of them could do anything to the other.

He smiled and said, "Maybe later."

"In the future?" Xue Huang sneered, "Mo Yunchen, why do you think we will have a future?"

"No matter whether it's the sky or the underworld, life or death, there's still a long way to go."

"Do you really want me to stay with you? Then why do you think I would be willing to stay with you?"

"You have no way out."

"Mo Yunchen, sometimes when I look at you, I feel that God really plays tricks on me. When I believed in you, you abandoned me like a worn-out shoe. When I hated you, you kept pestering me. Do you think this is God's will? Do you deserve to suffer the pain of this world? Hahahaha..." Xue Huang laughed sarcastically, like an elf in the night, inexplicably crazy and creepy.

She raised the jar of wine and danced under the peach tree, drinking and dancing, tears streaming down her face.

Yes, she has no way out. As long as she can't let go of Gu Qinglan, she will always be controlled by him.

Mo Yunchen watched her dance. It was a dance he had never seen before, but it felt strangely familiar to him.

She didn't dance very well, but the dance was full of lamentation and sadness, as if accusing the sadness in her heart.

Xue Huang had never learned to dance, because this dance was performed from the bottom of Gu Qingli's heart when she was trapped in Shuanglin City. It contained the freedom she longed for, as well as her loneliness and suppressed grief.

She jumped out unconsciously following the memory, stumbling but breaking the heart of the viewers.
