Both worlds are like dreams

"Why did you help him deceive me?"

"I want you to live, too."

"I also hope that I can forget it, but whether it's him, you, or myself, you can't deceive me forever."

"I have to try, but you keep breaking through the shackles. It only worsens your injuries."

Mo Yunchen's medicine alone was not enough to lock her memory. It was Mu Guang who was helping him, otherwise Xue Huang would not have been able to survive these days.

However, the love poison turned into a poison, and every time it broke out, it was like a death warrant from the King of Hell, making her already exhausted body even weaker.

Her time is running out.

So under that tree, after her memory was shaken again, Mu Guang gave up. In the last days, he didn't want to see her suffer like this anymore, he wanted to fulfill her wish.

This is her prison and the source of her pain. When two self-deceiving people are together, the pain is doubled.

So Mo Yunchen's nightmare fragrance did not work, but her memory was recovering little by little.

"We go home."

"Okay." Mu Guang said. "I'll take you away."

Xuehuang pushed open the door, she had no time left.

It was snowing outside. Nearly ten days had passed since that day under the tree at Qianli Bridge.

She had been waiting for Rong Yu to take her away, but she knew that he couldn't take her away.

There were constant sounds of fighting coming from the distance, but in the end no one came to her.

The entire Hanxi Palace was surrounded by Mo Yunchen's men.

Perhaps he had noticed something, so he no longer avoided her and let people look at her openly.

But Xue Huang didn't know that outside the Hanxi Palace, layers of black-armored soldiers were waiting in formation.

On the other side of the stone bridge were the people from the Shanhe Sect, led by Wei Yunzhou.

Rong Yu and Xu Yao were both here. In addition to them, there were 5,000 imperial guards, led by Gu Qinglan, who came here on the emperor's orders.

"In compliance with His Majesty's order, Princess Changle is welcomed back to the city." Gu Qinglan's voice was cold and firm, as if no matter whether there were mountains of swords or seas of fire ahead, he must take Xue Huang away today.

Since he left Qinghai Lake, he was always thinking about what he had forgotten and what he had lost.

Everyone around him was deceiving him, but his own heart could not deceive him.

Everything in Shangyang City, every road he walked on, there was blank space around him.

No matter how perfect Mu Guang's seal was, Gu Qinglan was very calm. He did not rush to ask questions, but sorted out his past memories.

In all his memories, he connected all the blanks together and found that all those illogical memories were missing a person.

That familiar yet unfamiliar name, the person who should make all the stories make sense, is the one he forgot.

Perhaps there is no way to perfectly seal memories in this world, because memories can be sealed, but emotions cannot.

Over the past five years, from the time Gu Qinglan and Xue Huang met, every bit of the past was engraved in his heart.

How could he forget the throbbing and joy of his youth, and the midnight dreams and longing he felt when he was alone when they were separated?

She was like a ray of moonlight shining into his life, filling his heart, and becoming the indispensable love in his life.

He had no way of forgetting her. Her shadow was everywhere in his life. As long as something familiar appeared, it would awaken his memories.

So on the day when Xue Huang's memory began to loosen, he remembered everything.

He also knew what she had done, but this time, he would take her away no matter what.

Just across the wall in front is where she is.

Xuehuang, I’m here to see you.

Xue Huang walked towards the back door of Han Xi Palace. People on the road tried to stop her, but she didn't say a word. She just pulled out a knife and cut her wrist.

Every time she stopped someone, she cut a wound. In the end, no one dared to stop her, so she had to report to Mo Yunchen immediately.

Xue Huang pushed open the heavy wooden door at the back door, dropped the knife in her hand, and walked step by step to the edge of the cliff.

There was blood on her wrist, but she seemed unaware of it.

Mu Guang frowned and asked, "What are you going to do? Why are you here?"

“This is where everything started, and this is where it should end.”

"They're here to rescue you. As long as you walk out the door, you can go wherever you want. Don't you want to go home?"

"This is the northern border, where Mo Yunchen's army is stationed. I can't leave. And even if I leave, I will still die. Everything they do is in vain."

"Wait a little longer, maybe it's not too late. Don't you want to see Gu Qinglan for the last time?"

Xue Huang looked towards the snow-capped mountains in the distance. It was a vast expanse of white. She couldn't get out of here after all.

But all this really seems like a cycle of fate, and she still has to end it here.

She was reluctant in her heart, but she still didn't want those she cared about to see the moment of her death. She wanted to leave the best of herself in their memories.

"We promised to meet in the next life, and he won't break his promise."

Mu Guang remained silent.

Xue Huang smiled faintly, "If I die, will you reappear in the world?"

"Yes. But I hope you can live well."

"You have allowed me to live for twenty more years. I am very grateful to you. In these last moments, I will use my life to exchange for yours."

Mu Guang didn't say anything else.

Mo Yunchen had also rushed to the back door at this time. Looking at the red figure on the edge of the cliff, he suddenly felt that the whole world had collapsed.

Past life and present life overlap again at this moment.

Everything in the past seems like a dream. Nothing has changed amidst all the changes in the world.

He stretched out his hand tremblingly, almost pleading cautiously, "Xue Huang, can you come over here?"

"Don't come over here." Xue Huang said lightly.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. No matter what you say, I'll promise you as long as you come back."

"Mo Yunchen, does this scene look familiar?"

Mo Yunchen felt a pain in his heart, "I'll let you go, Guigu, Jianghu, or even Gu Qinglan's side. As long as you come over."

"It's too late." Xue Huang turned around and looked at him. "Look, I said that even God couldn't stand you lying to me like this. Even though all of you are lying to me, I can still remember it."

Mo Yunchen's face no longer had the arrogance and indifference he once had, nor did he have the strategic control he once had. There was only grief and panic. His eyes were full of pleading. He knew that he was about to lose her completely.

"No," he looked at her painfully, "I won't lie to you anymore, I'll let you go, really, I'll take you to see Gu Qinglan now, he's outside the house. He's here to see you."

Xue Huang shook her head, "I will never believe you again."

"I really didn't lie to you. He really came to find you. Rong Yu, Wei Yunzhou, Xu Yao, they are all here to take you home."

"I said that if I remember again, I will end my own life and let you live in pain for the rest of your life."

"Why is your heart so cold?" Mo Yunchen looked at her in pain and despair, "No matter what I do, I can't melt your heart at all."

"You know what? I thought about forgetting it all, about trusting you. My memory had already begun to recover under that tree. But God is too cruel, and he won't let me go. I also wanted to forget it. I thought I could forget it and let you lie to me forever. But no matter what, there is too much blood between us, and the ending has already been determined. So, between you and me, perhaps only death can break the impasse."

"I want to ask you, in this life and in the past, have you ever, even for a moment, kept me in your heart?" Mo Yunchen's eyes showed a hint of hope, but his tone was uncertain and cautious. "Have you ever really loved me for a moment?"

Xue Huang looked at him indifferently. At this moment, her heart was calm. If she had heard him ask her this question before, she would have found it very ridiculous.

How can a man with blood and sin on his hands, who killed her with his own hands, be qualified to ask such questions?

But at this moment, she didn't care.

But her answer to this question has never changed.

"Never."

Two words, calm as water, yet cold as an iceberg.

The light and expectation in Mo Yunchen's eyes were completely shattered. Endless coldness came over him, and his world was filled with darkness.

His silly, bitter smile was filled with endless irony and sadness. Her heart was as cold as the glacier that stretched for thousands of miles behind her, so cold and out of reach, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't warm it up even a little bit.

Her heart was filled with Gu Qinglan, Guiguzi, the righteousness of the country, and the people of the world, but there was no place for him.

"What a 'never'." A tear slid down Mo Yunchen's eye. He looked at him blankly, like a puppet who had lost his soul.

But the next moment, his eyes changed, and they were filled with crazy murderous intent. "If you die, I want the whole world to be buried with you!"

Xue Huang didn't say anything, she just looked at him indifferently, it was unclear whether she didn't believe him or just didn't care at all.

"Did you hear that?" Mo Yunchen's eyes were sinister. "If you dare to die, I will kill everyone you care about one by one. I want the whole world to be buried with you."

Xue Huang took a step back, getting closer and closer to the cliff, "Mo Yunchen, let's be even. God, I would rather go to hell forever, and never see you again in this life or eternity..." After she finished speaking, she tore off the red dress and resolutely fell towards the thousand-foot cliff behind her!

"No..." Mo Yunchen rushed over like crazy, jumped down without hesitation, and tried desperately to hold her.

This was his nightmare, and no matter what, he would never allow it to come true again.

Xue Huang looked at his face, slowly closed her eyes, and let herself fall off the cliff.

At this moment, they can really be even.
