Both worlds are like dreams

"Master Gu, how are you?" Mo Yunchen said coldly.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." Gu Qinglan bowed without being humble or arrogant.

"The last time we met was at General Gu's funeral. It has been a long time. It's a pity that he didn't die in my hands."

Gu Qinglan's expression changed, "Your Majesty, please be careful with your words."

Mo Ruilin came over and interrupted the conversation between the two. "Your Highness, you have worked hard to safely escort the Xiyue envoys to Shangyang City. You should hurry up and enter the city."

Facing Mo Ruilin, Mo Yunchen didn't take him seriously at all. He rode away without even saying hello.

Mo Ruilin didn't care and went over to greet the Xiyue delegation in person.

Both sides greeted each other with their own national etiquette, exchanged a few polite words, and then entered the city.

Xue Huang got into Mo Ruilin's carriage, which was filled with fruits, snacks, tea and incense burners.

"Are you here to pick someone up?" Xue Huang smiled helplessly.

"I was indeed very anxious when I received the news from Brother Wei, but then I heard that King Han Xi was leading the Black Armored Army out of the city, and I was no longer worried at all. But if I knew you were here too, Qinglan and I would definitely come to help you in a hurry." Mo Ruilin smiled and poured her a cup of tea.

"I overheard what my second uncle and sister Luo Ning said. I didn't have time to wait for you. But in fact, with the strength of the Xiyue delegation, they can hold on until Mo Yunchen arrives. I didn't help much."

"Thank you very much anyway."

"No problem." Xue Huang said with a smile. "Fifth brother, I want to ask you something."

"Go ahead."

"Mo Yunchen seems to be quite hostile to Brother Qinglan. Have they had any feud before?"

"Qinglan's father and Mo Yunchen's father, Marquis Han Xi, were both generals of the Sima Army. They followed General Dingguo Shen Congfeng to attack Beiyuan. But it is said that the two disagreed during the siege. General Gu chose to retreat, while Marquis Han Xi insisted on attacking the city, but he did not want to fall into the trap of the defenders in the city and died on the battlefield. After that, King Han Xi blamed General Gu for his father's death. He believed that if General Gu had not withdrawn his troops, his father would not have died. After that, General Gu never went to the battlefield again. It was the death of Marquis Han Xi that left him with a heartache, and he died with regret in the end."

"So that's how it is," Xue Huang said, "But what does this have to do with Brother Qinglan?"

"What happened back then caused King Han Xi's temperament to change drastically, and his actions became increasingly paranoid and cruel." Mo Ruilin sighed.

Xue Huang thought of the inner world of Mo Yunchen that she had seen before. The young man in white was gone, and all that was left was a bloody hell. Such an experience was indeed heartbreaking, but all this could not make people ignore the fact that he killed innocent people indiscriminately to refine the blood poison. So Xue Huang sighed, but she did not have any sympathy for him.

After Mo Ruilin passed Jinxiu Building, Xue Huang jumped out. She really felt a little sleepy, so she ran back to her room and fell asleep.

Anyway, the Xiyue delegation has arrived safely, and what happens next should have little to do with her.

Xue Huang slept until the evening. Feeling hungry, she went to find Wei Yunzhou to have dinner together.

At the dinner table, Xue Huang asked: "Second Uncle, have King Han Xi's people captured Xu Yao or Tian Qi's spies?"

"Except for the assassins from Dark Moon Pavilion, almost all of Tianqi's people have been arrested. Tianqi's spy network in Shangyang City will suffer a heavy blow. As for Xu Yao and the remaining members of Beiyuan, they all evacuated, and most of those arrested were assassins he hired in the martial arts world."

"The strength of the Black Armor Army should not be underestimated. It is not easy to escape." Xue Huang said.

"You have fought with the leader of the Dark Moon Pavilion. How strong is he?" Wei Yunzhou asked.

"He's on par with that Xu Yao. But if I fight him seriously, he probably won't be my match." Xue Huang said with a smile.

Wei Yunzhou glanced at her and asked, "Are you so confident?"

Xue Huang put down her chopsticks, looked at Wei Yunzhou's indifferent expression, and said, "Second Uncle, I have decided to stay for the time being. In the future, anything that is inconvenient for you to do can be handed over to me. For example, this time, you deliberately let me hear the news that Xu Yao was going to assassinate the Xiyue envoys, right?"

Wei Yunzhou remained silent.

"You and Xuyao are both old friends from Beiyuan. You don't actually want him to die. But you can't show up, so you asked me to stop him. But why do you think I can definitely stop him?"

Wei Yunzhou remained silent.

Xue Huang lowered her eyes, and had a vague guess in her heart, but she did not ask. She just wanted to live in the present, and did not want to disappoint those who tried their best to hide the truth and live just for her happiness.

"If you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask. But Uncle, you don't have to worry about it. This is my own choice. No matter what the outcome is in the future, I will bear it myself." Xue Huang smiled. "Okay, I'm going to go back to sleep first."

After saying that, she returned to her room, changed her clothes and lay down on the bed bored.

She had originally made an appointment to watch the moon with Gu Qinglan today, but he and Mo Ruilin were busy receiving the Xiyue delegation and could not get away, so they could only send someone to give her a message saying that they would make an appointment on another day.

Xue Huang slept too much during the day, so she couldn't fall asleep now. She turned over, touched the necklace around her neck, and said, "Tell me a story?"

"I've told you almost all the stories in my head over the years. I really can't remember them anymore."

"Then tell me more about your world." Xue Huang said.

"How about I read you some poems?"

Xue Huang thought for a moment and said, "Okay." She closed her eyes and listened to the young man in the gem reciting poetry. Unconsciously, she felt sleepy, her eyelids began to twitch again, and she gradually fell asleep.

This sleep was extremely uneasy because she dreamed that she had a stomachache, and when she woke up she found that she really had a stomachache.

This familiar feeling made her realize instantly that she was on her period. It seemed that she couldn't go out for the next few days. Xue Huang curled up in the quilt and fell asleep, but the severe pain made her sleep very uneasy. She was in so much pain the next day that she didn't have the strength to get up. It was only when Luo Ning found that she hadn't gotten up to eat and brought her breakfast that she realized her condition.

She immediately asked someone to bring her a kettle of hot water, put a hot towel on her forehead, and asked the kitchen to stew some chicken soup and send it to her.

Xue Huang forced herself to sit up and drink a bowl of wine, "Thank you, sister."

"Did you catch a cold?"

"I have had a cold body since I was a child. It has something to do with my constitution." Xue Huang said.

"Then you have to pay attention to it on a daily basis. It can be adjusted."

"It's okay, just get through it."

Luo Ning poked her forehead and said helplessly: "You silly girl. I guess no one in Ghost Valley has ever told you this, right?"

Xue Huang didn't say anything, not because no one had told her about it, but because her physique was really special.

"Okay," Luo Ning helped her lie down and covered her with a blanket. "Don't run around these few days. Have a good rest. Remember to wear shoes when you get out of bed."

Xue Huang looked at her with eyes full of tenderness and said with a smile: "It's great to have a sister like you."

Luo Ning was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't talk nonsense, close your eyes and sleep for a while. Everything will be fine when you wake up."

\"Yeah.\" Xue Huang closed her eyes. She had no strength in her body now, and only after falling asleep could she ignore the pain in her stomach.

Luo Ning looked at her and a sigh flashed across his face. The genius girl from Guiguzi seemed so brilliant, but who knew the sadness behind it?

She walked out of the room silently.

Xue Huang rested in the room for several days in a row and finally waited until the end of her menstrual period.

\"Huh...\" After a long sigh, Xue Huang got up and washed herself thoroughly, then opened the wardrobe. Finally, she chose the blue and white gauze dress that Mo Ruilin had given her at that time, put on the clothes, and pushed the door open to go out.
