Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan

Xue Zhilan already felt uneasy when Kong Jue performed the second ritual.

Xue Zhilan looked at the jade hairpin that had stopped in front of her, not knowing what to do.

Kong Jue also seemed to be powerless. After the jade hairpin stopped, he vomited blood and fainted.

Kong Jue fainted, leaving a group of people staring blankly at the jade hairpin. Was Xue Zhilan the one who cast the blood curse, or not?

Kong Jue is indeed shrewd. Now that he's fainted, there's no way to prove whether Xue Zhilan is the one who cast the blood curse, and she can't get rid of the suspicion. Even Xiao Xiao can't do anything to Kong Jue who's fainted because of the battle.

It's a perfect way to avoid offending either side.

Xue Zhilan's face stiffened, and she said in a panic, "You all don't think that I am the one who cast the blood curse, do you?!"

A middle-aged woman in the crowd sneered, "Who knows? This hairpin isn't pointing at me!"

Seeing the crowd start talking again, Xue Zhilan felt even more uneasy. She covered her face with her handkerchief and pretended to sob, saying, "Who would joke about their own reputation? And why would I kill my own mother?"

Yes, that really doesn't make sense!

Seeing that some people in the crowd were beginning to waver, Xiao Xiao said leisurely, "Master Kongjue just said that if someone is the true caster of the spell, a single drop of blood from between their eyebrows is enough to awaken Madam Xue. Whether Miss Xue is the caster of the spell or not can be determined with a test!"

Yup!

Everyone remembered that Master Kongjue had indeed said that, so they looked at Xue Zhilan again.

Xue Zhilan was shocked. She didn't want to be disfigured in public, so she pretended to be extremely terrified and cried out to everyone, "It must be Xue Xiao! She's jealous of my looks and bribed that old bald monk to frame me!"

At this moment, Xue Xiao replied with a forced smile, "I remember, the person I invited Master Kongjue was not me, but rather Her Highness the Princess!"

Seeing this, Liu Shanshan angrily said to Xue Zhilan, "So you even doubt this princess?"

Yes!

Master Kongjue was invited by Liu Shanshan to help Xue Zhilan, but now Xue Zhilan has turned around and accused him of framing her.

"This Miss Xue is definitely suspicious!"

"This is repaying kindness with enmity! Her Highness is known for her kind heart, how could she do such a thing?"

"I think there's no need to guess! It's definitely Xue Zhilan and Shen Menglan putting on an act to deal with Liu Shanshan!"

Hearing this, Liu Shanshan became even more furious and said to her guards, "Guards! Tie up Xue Zhilan for me! I want to personally take her blood from between her eyebrows!"

Xue Zhilan was quickly tied up by the guards, and then Liu Shanshan walked towards her with a dagger in her hand.

The blade of the dagger gleamed coldly in the sunlight, making Xue Zhilan tremble with fear. Unfortunately, she was too weak to break free from the restraints and could only watch helplessly as Liu Shanshan approached step by step with the dagger in hand.

A piercing pain shot through Xue Zhilan's face. She watched in horror as drops of blood rolled down her cheek and into the bowl. At that moment, Xue Zhilan had completely forgotten the pain; her proud beauty would soon be gone.

Xue Zhilan hated Xue Xiao to the core! It was all because of that bitch Xue Xiao!

Xue Zhilan screamed shrilly from pain and anger, each scream louder than the last.

Because of what had just happened, Liu Shanshan hated Xue Zhilan intensely, and she didn't hold back. She slashed a large gash across Xue Zhilan's face, from her brow to the tip of her nose, ruining half of her face. At this moment, Xue Zhilan's face was a bloody mess.

Furthermore, Xue Zhilan's eyes widened in terror, and her scream, like a vengeful ghost, made her appear like a malevolent spirit from hell, eerie and terrifying! This immediately frightened many children to tears.

The maid trembled as she carried the bowl of bloody water to the unconscious Shen Menglan, helped her up, and poured the liquid down her throat. Shen Menglan, who had been pale, quickly regained her color and woke up after a while!

Everyone saw that Shen Menglan had woken up!

Looking at Xue Zhilan, whose face was covered in blood, one instantly felt that Xue Zhilan was disgusting! Some people even vomited on the spot.

Upon waking up, Shen Menglan saw her daughter transformed into this ghostly state and was so frightened that she fainted again.

Liu Shanshan disdainfully threw away the dagger in her hand and said to everyone, "Since everyone has found the person who cast the curse, I, the princess, will hand this person over to the Prefect of the Capital!"

Upon hearing Liu Shanshan's order, Lord Zhao immediately obeyed and dragged Xue Zhilan away.

As Xue Zhilan was being dragged away, she kept cursing Xue Xiao, wishing him a terrible death!

Everyone ate absentmindedly at the banquet, and it ended in no time. Liu Shanshan lost interest and told everyone to go home early.

Once Shen Menglan wakes up, she goes to the Shen residence to find Shen Changmin and ask him for a way to rescue Xue Zhilan from prison.

Looking at Shen Menglan, who was crying her eyes out, Shen Changmin was very annoyed and said impatiently, "Go back first! I'll figure something out!"

Now that Xue Yao has heard that Xue Zhilan is in trouble and her reputation is ruined, he has already announced that they have severed their father-daughter relationship and will no longer care about Xue Zhilan's life or death. Only Shen Changmin can help her.

Shen Menglan was furious at Shen Changmin's obviously perfunctory attitude, but there was nothing she could do. It was already quite good that An'er hadn't divorced Xue Zhilan yet.

Shen Menglan could only silently leave Shen Changmin's study.

Shen Changmin is currently in a real bind. A few days ago, Shen An's birth mother, Cao, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Shen family, came to him demanding a divorce from Xue Zhilan. However, the marriage between Xue Zhilan and Shen An was arranged by Emperor Qixuan himself, so it's not something that can be easily dissolved.

Shen Menglan came again just a few days later, and Shen Changmin pressed his temples, his head throbbing with pain.

Since Xue Zhilan was imprisoned, rumors about her have been circulating more and more in the capital.

Some even say that Xue Zhilan is a jinx reincarnated, specifically sent to bring misfortune to the Xue and Shen families.

It had been raining for a week straight, and everything felt damp. It was a rare treat to have such sunny days these past few days.

Consort Xiao was in a good mood in the palace, so she invited everyone to her Jingren Palace to admire the peach blossoms.

This peach blossom viewing also happened to coincide with Consort Xiao's birthday, so naturally many people were invited, including Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao was not familiar with Consort Xiao, and from their first meeting, she could tell that Consort Xiao disliked her very much, and even felt that Consort Xiao was somewhat disgusted with her.

I have a feeling that this peach blossom viewing trip is not so simple. There is something strange about it, but I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong.

On the day that Consort Xiao invited them to admire the peach blossoms, Xiao Xiao made all the necessary preparations and went with Lian'er to the event.

A maid in dark palace attire led the way, with Xiaoxiao and Lian'er following behind. As they walked, they came into view a vibrant expanse of red.

In the warm breeze, the fragrance of flower petals wafts towards you. The air is filled with their sweet scent, and it feels as if you've stepped into a paradise.

It seems that Consort Xiao has quite a refined taste; no wonder she continues to receive the emperor's favor.

Deep within the peach grove was a pavilion, and from afar one could see several noble ladies dressed in red and green sitting inside.

As Xiaoxiao walked in, she saw the woman in the pavilion clearly.

Liu Shanshan sat in the middle at the head of the table, with a bright and elegant woman sitting next to her. Liu Ruxi stood beside her, looking unhappy.

Xiao Xiao walked to the pavilion, curtsied, and said, "Greetings, Your Highness!"

When An Rongruo saw the newcomer, dressed in white, her figure radiant in the peach blossoms, she felt as if a misty haze surrounded Xiaoxiao, making her seem like someone from another world. An Rongruo felt a bit displeased and said sarcastically, "Who is this? She looks unfamiliar."

Liu Shanshan watched from the sidelines, secretly amused, but outwardly maintaining a friendly demeanor as she replied to An Rongruo, "The princess was not in the capital a few days ago, so she didn't know. This is Princess Changsheng, a meritorious figure in this year's disaster relief efforts."

An Rongruo coldly laughed and said, "So you're a princess personally appointed by your maternal uncle!"

When Liu Ruxi heard An Rongruo say that, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, and Liu Shanshan also looked like she was watching a good show.

An Rongruo glanced at Liu Ruxi, who was standing there, and said with feigned surprise, "Oh my! Miss Liu, why are you still standing! Please sit down!"

Liu Ruxi glanced at the chair in front of her and muttered to herself: Just now she looked down on her status and pretended not to see her, but now she's clearly using Xiaoxiao as a pawn because she's uncomfortable with her.

She was just a fake princess with no real backing, so there was nothing for her to be afraid of. Therefore, Liu Ruxi sat down without any hesitation and smiled at An Rongruo, saying, "Thank you, Princess An!"

An Rongruo nodded slightly, as if it were only natural for Liu Ruxi to thank her.

Liu Ruxi gritted her teeth inwardly. What's so arrogant about her? She's just a woman who wants to get married but can't find one, and only knows how to throw herself at someone else.

Everyone knew who An Rongruo was thinking about, but because of An Rongruo's status, no one dared to say it to her openly, though they ridiculed her behind her back quite a bit.

Seeing An Rongruo treat Xiaoxiao like this, Liu Shanshan felt quite relieved. She had long been uncomfortable with Xiaoxiao.

He used to be timid and cowardly, but now he is calm and composed in the face of adversity, and he is quite capable in doing things, even surpassing himself.

But things are different now. Beside her is An Rongruo, the only daughter of Princess Shangguan Yan, and a woman known throughout the capital as being madly in love with the Crown Prince.

It would be best if An Rongruo dealt with Xiaoxiao. He could simply sit back and reap the benefits, watching them both suffer heavy losses and, ideally, become infamous, thus highlighting his own dignified and noble nature.

At that time, wouldn't the Crown Princess be hers for the taking?

Thinking of this, Liu Shanshan looked at Xiaoxiao under the pavilion and saw that her smile was even more radiant and beautiful, like a blooming peony, dazzling and beautiful.

After Liu Ruxi sat down, she deliberately provoked Xiaoxiao, saying, "Oh, I'm sorry! There's only one chair here, so I'll have to trouble Princess Changsheng to stand!"

"It's alright!" Xiao Xiao lowered her eyes, her expression unreadable.

Liu Ruxi originally wanted to provoke Xiaoxiao and let her know her status and that she was not qualified to sit with them. But now, seeing Xiaoxiao like this, it felt like she had put all her strength into giving her a heavy blow, but instead, she had punched a soft cotton ball.

Liu Ruxi turned her head away resentfully and started chatting and laughing with Xia Jiao beside her.

An Rongruo looked at Xiaoxiao, who was still standing under the pavilion, her features beautiful and unaffected by Liu Ruxi.

An Rongruo felt uncomfortable looking at Xiaoxiao like this, so she decided to leave Xiaoxiao out of the room and see how long she could hold out.

Xiao Xiao was already aware of An Rongruo's disregard for her, so she didn't care much.

Since An Rongruo told me to stand, I might as well stand. It's not like I'll lose a piece of flesh.

They continued chatting animatedly, wondering how long Xiaoxiao could hold out.

But after a long time, Xiaoxiao remained standing there motionless. The group felt like they were being watched, making them very uncomfortable. Their original idea of ​​leaving Xiaoxiao alone began to waver.

An Rongruo couldn't hold back any longer and wanted Xiaoxiao to leave, but she was too embarrassed to speak up.

Suddenly, several rapid coughs came from a distance.
