Both worlds are like dreams

In the study, he opened Xue Huang's letter and read its contents.

A hint of disappointment flashed across her brows. She still didn't believe him.

"Your Highness," Duan Yun said, "I have already dealt with the messenger. He will never let anything slip. The princess's letters will be withheld. However, Shanhemen is constantly sending letters to Shuanglin City. I am worried that if they appear in front of the princess..."

Mo Yunchen threw the letter in his hand into the charcoal fire, and it turned into ashes in an instant.

"Wei Yunzhou's Shanhe Gate is impenetrable. We must guard it strictly and don't let anyone get close to her."

"But if I don't receive a reply, the princess will get suspicious."

"It's okay, I'll make her forget it."

"Yes, don't worry, Your Majesty. Everything will be arranged according to Your Majesty's instructions. It will definitely not arouse the princess' suspicion."

Mo Yunchen didn't say anything, but looked at the medicine pot beside him, which contained Xue Huang's medicine.

He always kept an eye on it personally and never delegated it to anyone else, not even Duan Yun was an exception.

Xue Huang was really bored, so she opened the door and went out for a walk.

The plum blossoms in the yard are in full bloom, and the whole yard is filled with the fragrance of plum blossoms.

She came to the swing, where the fallen snow had been swept clean and a soft mat was laid again.

There was also a charcoal stove next to it, which seemed to be specially prepared in case she would feel cold when sitting here.

She sat on it and swayed, her eyes falling on her surroundings. She always felt that something was missing and her heart was a little empty.

Xue Huang stood up and continued strolling along the stone path.

She was familiar with everything here, but she felt as if something was missing, and as if everything in front of her was not real.

She walked aimlessly, and because of her weak body, she had to stop to catch her breath after every few steps.

The maids followed her carefully behind her and hurried to support her when they saw this.

"It's cold outside, Princess, you should go back first."

Xue Huang shook her head and sat down in the pavilion. The maid handed her the hand warmer.

"How long have you been following me?"

"Half a year."

"How about them?"

"Too."

Xue Huang was a little confused, "I came here from Shangyang City, don't I have a dowry? Or don't I have someone who has been with me for a longer time?"

"The princess came back with the prince alone, without any dowry."

"Then do you know why I didn't bring it?"

The maid shook her head. "But the princess said before that she doesn't like us to be around you all day."

Xue Huang really didn’t like them following her, or maybe she really didn’t want to bring anyone with her.

After sitting for a while, she stood up and continued to walk around, and finally came to the back door.

But everyone stopped her and wouldn't let her go out, saying it was Mo Yunchen's order.

Xuehuang was a little angry. Why didn't they let her go out?

But since these people kept kneeling on the ground and begging, she had no choice but to give up and went to find Mo Yunchen angrily.

She turned left and right and arrived outside the study. Before she entered, she smelled a bloody smell.

She frowned, pushed open the door, and saw Mo Yunchen piercing the skin on his heart with a knife, taking a drop of blood into a bowl.

Mo Yunchen heard the noise, immediately pulled up his clothes, and stood up to block the bowl, "Why are you here?"

Xue Huang didn't answer and walked around him to look at the bowl, but he grabbed her and pulled her back by the collar.

Looking at her pale face, he frowned and said, "It's so cold, and you're still running around."

"What are you doing?" Xue Huang tried to break free, "Isn't this the taste of the medicine you gave me to drink? Why did I have to use your own blood?"

"You've seen it wrong." Mo Yunchen pulled her out, and Duan Yun behind him immediately destroyed the body, but perhaps out of nervousness, he crackled and broke several bowls.

Xue Huang was already angry, and now seeing that they were obviously hiding something from her, she grabbed Mo Yunchen's hand and bit it hard.

Mo Yunchen endured the pain but remained unmoved.

Xue Huang was embarrassed for a moment, then fell down.

Mo Yunchen quickly helped her sit aside, looked at her increasingly pale face, and motioned Duan Yun to bring the medicine over.

Xue Huang opened one eye and looked at the blood in the bowl that had not yet spread. She raised the corner of her mouth cunningly and then opened her eyes. "What is this?"

"Drink it."

"If you don't tell me, I won't drink."

"obedient."

Xue Huang shook her head and said nothing.

Mo Yunchen also said nothing and looked at her helplessly.

Duan Yun rolled his eyes and said in one breath, "The princess has a cold poison in her body and must be suppressed with something very hot. But the princess has a cold constitution and her martial arts are all useless. She can't bear the medicine at all. So the only way to cure the princess's illness is for the prince to take the medicine and use his heart blood as medicine."

Mo Yunchen gave him a cold look and said, "You're talking too much."

"I have spoken out of turn, so I shall be punished with thirty military sticks. I shall take my leave now!"

Xue Huang said, "Wait a minute, forget it, don't punish him. I'm the one who wants to question you."

Mo Yunchen didn't say anything.

"Is this how you usually treat your subordinates?" Xue Huang glared at him, "He didn't do anything wrong."

"Go down." Mo Yunchen said calmly. "You don't have to accept the punishment."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Princess." Duan Yun quickly left the room and closed the door.

"Drink the medicine." Mo Yunchen looked at her helplessly, "Can't I just not punish him?"

Xue Huang looked at the medicine bowl and said, "Why does it have to be my heart's blood? Is there no other way to cure my injury?"

"It's just a drop of blood. It won't kill me."

"But if you take something very hot, it will conflict with your practice, and your meridians will feel like they are being burned by fire, so your body temperature will be different from before."

"This little pain is nothing compared to what you've endured. Besides, it was me who caused you to be like this. I should atone for your sins."

"Why do you say that?"

"You were hurt because of me, I can't bear to see you get hurt in the slightest."

"Will my injury heal?" Xue Huang asked calmly.

"Will do."

"You don't have to lie to me. I know my own body. Even though I don't know any medical skills, I know how bad my pulse feels."

"If I say you'll get better, you'll get better. Now, take the medicine."

Xue Huang's face suddenly turned bitter. Originally the medicine was just bitter, but now she found that blood was added to it, she didn't want to drink it even more.

"I was just pretending, can you please not drink it?"

Mo Yunchen stirred the medicine in the bowl with a spoon and said, "No. Otherwise, I won't let you see those two cats."

Xue Huang immediately took the bowl and drank the medicine in one breath with an almost death-ready expression.

Mo Yunchen took out a candy from somewhere and fed it to her, "Be good, this is a reward."

"I'm not a child, can you please stop using candy to coax me every time?"

Mo Yunchen raised his eyebrows, "But you always eat happily every time."

"Isn't it because you only have candy in your hand? Will I be miserable if I don't eat it?"

"Okay, I'll give you another one next time."

Xue Huang looked at the blood on his collar and pressed him down on the chair. "Where is the golden wound medicine?"

Mo Yunchen pointed to a small bottle.

Xue Huang took it and then started to pull Mo Yunchen's clothes.

He looked slightly stunned, "What are you doing?"

"Apply medicine." Xue Huang said. "The wound is small, but you stabbed so many times, especially in the heart. What if the injury is serious?"

Mo Yunchen said nothing and let her open his clothes to apply medicine.

Her expression was serious, and her slightly cool fingertips touched his heart, which also seemed to touch his heart.

Xue Huang noticed that he was staring at her and felt a little uncomfortable, "Why are you looking at me?"

"I remember that you were always too careless when applying medicine to me."

"That must be your problem."

Mo Yunchen smiled and said, "Yes, it's all my fault."

Xue Huang was silent for a moment. "By the way, why didn't you let me go through the back door? I just wanted to go out for a walk, but they wouldn't let me go out."

"The wind and snow at the back door are particularly strong. You will definitely catch a cold if you go out. If it stimulates your cold syndrome, it will be very dangerous."

"really?"

Mo Yunchen nodded, "When you feel better, I will take you there myself, not just through the back door, but anywhere else in the city."

Xue Huang could only agree, not knowing that it would take a long time for him to get what he said.

She was almost immersed in medicine jars every day. All kinds of rare herbs and elixirs were continuously delivered to the palace. The first thing she smelled when she opened the door every day was the scent of medicine. Later, she felt that her body was full of strange smell of medicine.

This made her lose her appetite every day, but Mo Yunchen supervised her every day and made sure she drank the ginseng and bird's nest. If she didn't drink it, she would not be allowed to eat glutinous rice balls or steamed buns.
