Both worlds are like dreams

Xue Huang had a dream a few days ago. This time she saw clearly all the people in the dream, her father, mother, her brother and all the people who died that year. They walked away with a smile, as if their injustice had finally been vindicated and they left free.

"I dreamed that they smiled at me." Xue Huang smiled. "Then they left and went to a very far place. I think they must have known everything we did."

"I had the same dream," Xu Yao said, "I dreamed of Jing Chen. He told me to let go of my hatred and live for myself from now on."

"Now that your injustice has been vindicated, you should really let go of the past and start a new life." Xue Huang said.

Xu Yao was a little confused. Looking at Jing Chen's tablet, his long-cherished wish was fulfilled, but for a moment he didn't know what to do next.

After a moment of silence, his eyes turned slightly cold, "It's not over yet. The account between Mo Yunchen and I has not been settled yet."

Xue Huang remained silent. In this game, Mo Yunchen did a lot. He pushed everything forward.

He was involved behind everything. The letter accusing Shen Congfeng of embezzling disaster relief funds, the clue to the whereabouts of the Beiyuan Kingdom letter, and the detailed information of Shen Congfeng's private army were all the result of cooperation between Mo Yunchen, Wei Yunzhou and Mo Ruilin.

He came back with troops to help because they had already discussed it.

"What did you promise him?" Xue Huang asked. "How could he cooperate so easily?"

"He didn't say it clearly," Wei Yunzhou said, "He just said that this is a deal between you two."

Xue Huang remained silent. She had been busy building the Donglin Temple and placing the tablets of Bei Yuan these days, and had not returned to the Hanxi Palace.

Mo Yunchen was also busy investigating Shen Congfeng's forces. He had met him once or twice, but he had a cold face and just glanced at him from a distance before they hurried away.

But Xue Huang knew that she didn't have much time left.

"What are your plans next?" Xu Yao asked. "After resolving the rebellion, he is really going to garrison the northern border this time. What is your choice?"

"Go with him."

"For your sake, I can spare him the trouble." Xu Yao said. "But are you sure you still want to go with him?"

"This deal is permanent." Xue Huang said calmly.

"If you don't want, we can help you stay." Wei Yunzhou said.

Xue Huang shook her head. "Things here are over for me now. The rest is between him and me. But before I leave, there is one more thing I should finish."

"What is it?" Xu Yao asked.

"The destruction of Beiyuan began with that secret, and it should end with this secret."

"Have you found any clues?" Xu Yao asked.

Xue Huang nodded, "It's in the Taiji Palace. I will take you there personally, and I will also take all those who covet this secret with me, so that they can see with their own eyes what the secret is that is worth their pursuit at all costs."

"Since you have made up your mind, then go ahead." Xu Yao said.

Xue Huang looked at Wei Yunzhou, and he nodded to indicate that he had no objection.

"What are Second Uncle's plans for the future? I heard that Fifth Brother wants you to be the Imperial Master. Will you go?"

"Not interested." Wei Yunzhou said lightly.

"The court is in an unstable situation right now, and there is a lot of work to be done. Don't you plan to continue helping him?"

"I have no interest in the court."

"What about the court?"

"If he wants a peaceful and prosperous world, he needs to make the country rich and the army strong. Shanhemen will continue to assist him in the dark. Jinxiu Tower will also be rebuilt and continue to be used for gathering intelligence. I think your suggestion is very good. The name of the business will be Sihai Business, and it will gather all the wealth in the world."

"It's rare that you say so much, so of course I support you. The 100,000 taels of gold and my dowry and betrothal gifts are all in that mansion. They are all given to you. Do whatever you want."

Although her title of princess was stripped before, her mansion was not taken back, and her gold, silver and treasures were still there, not to mention that her status has been restored now.

Wei Yunzhou glanced at her and asked, "You don't want any more?"

"It was of no use anyway." Xue Huang said with a smile.

Xu Yao said, "The old members of Beiyuan will also disperse, and live the life they want from now on. However, if there are those who are willing to stay, can they join your company and show their skills?"

"Okay." Wei Yunzhou said concisely.

"Where is Sister Ling'er?" Xue Huang asked.

"she left."

"Where did you go?"

"Jianghu."

"You didn't even say goodbye to us?"

"Mountains and rivers bring us together." Xu Yao said.

Xue Huang felt a little regretful, "What a pity, I was born at the wrong time, fate plays tricks on me." After a pause, she continued, "What about you? Is there any place you want to go?"

"Not ready yet."

"Why don't you stay here? Second uncle's business must be short of people, so just hang out with him." Xuehuang said with a smile.

Xu Yao was silent for a moment, "Let me think about it."

"Now that the old grudge is over, take off the mask. There are no outsiders here."

Xu Yao glanced at her, silently took off the mask and put it into the charcoal fire.

It's time for everything to end.

After burning the paper money, the three people left Donglin Temple.

"By the way, Uncle, did you dream about anything?"

"No."

"How could that be?" Xue Huang said as they walked. "My cousin and I both had the same dream, so how could you be the only one missing? Is it because the dream was too cheesy that you are too embarrassed to tell me? Otherwise, let me guess..."

As the bells rang, Xue Huang's smile was as bright as the morning sun.

……

Mo Ruilin regained her identity as Princess Snow Phoenix Beiling, her title remained unchanged, and she was also considered to have made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion this time, so Mo Ruilin officially recognized her as his sister, and from then on she was the eldest princess of Beiling.

Although Xu Yao had kidnapped the prince and the princess before, his help in suppressing the rebellion this time can be considered to have offset his merits and demerits.

However, many officials in the court were still worried and suggested that he be imprisoned in the capital to prevent further trouble.

Xue Huang used the letter of exoneration to calm the public opinion, and the turmoil in the court was temporarily resolved.

However, Mo Ruilin has been worried about one thing recently, that is, the position of queen has not been decided, the harem is empty, and the ministers are restless and submit petitions every day, requesting the establishment of a queen.

Mo Ruilin was so annoyed that he hid in Xuehuang's mansion and drank to drown his sorrows in the pavilion in the middle of the lake at her back door.

"Hiding is not a solution." Xue Huang poured him a glass of wine. She knew what Mo Ruilin was worried about.

Xiao Ling'er left without saying a word, not even a goodbye.

There is no destiny between them.

"I know, but I'll hide for as long as I can!"

"You are already the emperor, be more reliable! Sooner or later you will have to appoint a queen, so you might as well think about who is the right candidate."

"Your Majesty told me before that the daughter of Prime Minister Meng is worthy of the position of Crown Princess. Now that you have succeeded to the throne and Prime Minister Meng is a loyal and honest old minister, there is no better candidate than Miss Meng."

"She is suitable to be the queen, and the position of queen belongs to her. But there can't be only one queen in the harem, and all the ministers are urging me to choose a concubine." Mo Ruilin sighed, "I had no choice before, and I still have no choice now."

"I can't help you." Xue Huang smiled faintly.

"Don't worry. I know what to do. The court is unstable now. After Shen Congfeng's death, the power he left behind is intertwined and it is not easy to completely eliminate it. But canonizing his relatives as concubines can also calm many disputes."

Xue Huang couldn't help but sigh. When Mo Ruilin was competing for the position of crown prince, he never thought of using marriage to help himself, but now that he has become the emperor, he has to stabilize the government in this way.

It's really good-for-nothing!

However, since the identity is different, the choices are naturally different.

"I believe you can do it." Xue Huang said. "We will still be behind you to help you."

Mo Ruilin raised his eyebrows, "I sincerely invited Brother Wei to be the national teacher of Beiling, but he ruthlessly rejected me."

"Well, I can't do anything about it. Second Uncle doesn't like the court, but he won't ignore you, don't worry."

"What about you? Are you going to the North?"

Xue Huang nodded calmly, "The deal between me and him has not yet come to an end. He is willing to cooperate with you this time, although he did not ask for any compensation, but I know what he wants."

"At this point, I don't know how to persuade you, but I still hope that you can live a peaceful and happy life for the rest of your life."

Xue Huang raised her glass, "I also hope that you and Brother Qinglan will get what you want, and that one day, a prosperous era will come."

After bidding farewell to Mo Ruilin, Xue Huang waited for another unexpected person, the third prince Mo Yiming.

He has become much more serious and is no longer as frivolous as before.
