Both worlds are like dreams

Chapter 366: Settlement of Accounts after Autumn

Hearing this, Rong Yu looked at Xue Huang with an even more severe gaze, "Really?"

Xue Huang laughed dryly, "That... that's not what I want to do against three people alone. They are just bullying me by taking advantage of their power and insisting on killing Mo Yunchen. I can't just ignore it, right?"

"So, your eye injury is also due to Mo Yunchen?"

"You also know this?"

Wei Yunzhou stared at her coldly and said, "Brother, you were too gentle just now."

Rong Yu frowned slightly, "If Yunzhou doesn't tell me, are you going to keep it a secret?"

"I'm just afraid that you'll worry." Xue Huang smiled, "But it's fine if you just know about it, but don't let Grandpa know."

"Is there anything else you haven't said?" Rong Yu asked.

"Absolutely not." Xue Huang assured.

Rong Yu glanced at Wei Yunzhou again, and seeing that he had nothing to say, he finally believed it. "Are your eyes okay?"

"Okay, okay," Xue Huang quickly pointed at the corner of her eye and said, "You see, she is still as beautiful as before."

Rong Yu couldn't help but be amused by her, while Wei Yunzhou frowned and twitched the corner of his mouth, obviously speechless.

"Let's talk about business," Xue Huang sat aside, "Second Uncle, I got some news from Mo Yunchen, but I can't tell whether it's true or not."

"what news?"

"He said that before the two countries went to war, my father had sent a handwritten letter to the border, which was a request for peace, but what was sent to the Beiling court was a declaration of war. Mo Yunchen meant that Shen Congfeng swapped the letter. Although I know that Shen Congfeng is very likely to do such a thing, I still can't easily believe what Mo Yunchen said."

"A war between two countries must have a legitimate reason to send troops, so Shen Congfeng wants to kill me and provoke a war between the two countries."

"But," Xue Huang continued, "Beiyuan did not send troops, but chose to continue to seek peace, so Shen Congfeng had to create another excuse? With a letter of war and the constant instigation of the ministers, Emperor Beiling had no choice but to issue an order to start the war."

Wei Yunzhou frowned slightly, "Is it a provocation or has he already intended to start a war? Who knows?"

"Do you know about the imperial edict that ordered the capture of the Beiyuan royal family alive and escorted to Kyoto?"

"A belated imperial edict failed to influence the outcome of the war."

"Assuming that Shen Congfeng had seen the imperial edict back then, but still chose to massacre Beiyuan, wouldn't that be disobeying the imperial edict?"

"I will get to the bottom of this matter."

"It's been so long since the incident happened, Shen Congfeng might have already erased all traces. Maybe we can start from Beiyuan."

Wei Yunzhou raised his eyes and looked at her, "Are you talking about Xu Yao?"

Xue Huang nodded, "He must know about the letter of credence, but he may not know about the exchange. I'll go find him."

"You are not fit to see him."

"Don't worry. I'll be careful. The rest is up to you."

"it is good."

Xue Huang stood up and said, "Come on, uncle, let's go see what to prepare for grandpa tonight."

"Wait a minute," Wei Yunzhou stopped her, "there is one more thing."

"You said."

"There is not enough antidote for the Heart-Eating Gu."

Xue Huang was surprised. "I calculated the time and it should be more than a month. How could this happen?"

Wei Yunzhou hesitated. In fact, Gu Qinglan was unwilling to take the medicine. Whenever he had an attack, he would force himself to suppress it with his internal strength. The antidote was only given to him by people around him after he fainted from the pain. The attack of the Heart-Eating Gu was completely irregular. Sometimes he even had to take two pills to suppress the pain.

"Say it!"

Wei Yunzhou decided to keep it secret. "We experienced an assassination attempt before, and several antidotes were accidentally lost during the process. The last one was taken yesterday."

"I'll go get it now. Uncle, please help me explain it to grandpa." After Xue Huang said this, she left in a hurry.

Rong Yu looked at Wei Yunzhou, "You are not telling the truth, are you?"

Wei Yunzhou sighed inwardly. He was really not good at lying. If Xue Huang hadn't been so concerned, he really wouldn't have been able to deceive her.

"I didn't want to either, but Gu Qinglan wouldn't let me tell the truth. Besides, I didn't lie completely. There is indeed only one antidote left."

Rong Yu raised his eyebrows, "How am I going to explain this to Master later?"

"Don't look at me, I'm really not good at it."
