Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan

Chapter 110 The Wise Cannon Fodder's Path to Crushing Scum (29)

The group looked in the direction of the cough.

A palace maid was seen pushing a man as they slowly approached.

The man was dressed in luxurious gold robes and sat upright in a wheelchair. He had a handsome and refined appearance, fair skin, and a sickly look on his face. He was as still as a virgin and undisturbed by the world.

Xiao Xiao had never seen this man before, but judging from his attire, he was probably a prince or nobleman.

Could it be Prince Cheng, Shangguan Yucheng?

In the original text, after Shangguan Jingde gained power, he carried out a large-scale bloodbath against the royal family, but spared Prince Cheng, who had been weak and sickly since childhood.

Shangguan Yucheng's birth mother was a lowly palace maid who died in childbirth. After her mother's death, Shangguan Yucheng was adopted by Consort Xiao and raised by her. He grew up with Shangguan Jingde from a young age, and their relationship must have been extraordinary.

Furthermore, compared to Shangguan Jingde, Shangguan Yucheng lacks a powerful maternal clan as a backing, posing no threat to Shangguan Jingde. Moreover, even the highly skilled physician Dugu Wu said that he would not live past 30.

When An Rongruo saw that the person who came was actually Shangguan Yucheng, her expression immediately changed, and she quickly regained her sweet smile and said to Shangguan Yucheng, "Why have you come, Seventh Brother?"

It seems that the person in front of me is Shangguan Yucheng, because Shangguan Yucheng is the seventh child in his family.

Speaking of Shangguan Yucheng, Xiaoxiao knew very little about him. Because of his illness, Shangguan Yucheng always stayed in the palace and rarely went far away. He also rarely attended such lively banquets. He had not attended the previous banquets. Why was he attending today?

Could it be because today is Consort Xiao's birthday?

Xiao Xiao looked at Shangguan Yucheng. Although Shangguan Yucheng still looked sickly today, he was much better than in her previous life.

At this point in the original text, Shangguan Yucheng was no longer able to get out of bed and spent all his time lying in bed.

Shangguan Yucheng looked at An Rongruo in front of him with a doting expression and said, "I feel a bit better today, and it also happens to be Mother's birthday, so I came out to take a look!" As he spoke, Shangguan Yucheng's smile deepened, and his phoenix-tail-like eyes became even more handsome.

It's clear that Shangguan Yucheng dotes on An Rongruo.

Liu Ruxi watched An Rongruo's acting skills change like a mask, feeling extremely sarcastic. He was two-faced, saying that he was one way in front of people and another way behind their backs. She continued to eat melon seeds on the side. Anyway, he was just a fake prince in name only, and a sickly one at that. There was no need for her to curry favor with him.

Seeing An Rongruo's reaction, Liu Shanshan immediately understood Shangguan Yucheng's identity. She inwardly mocked Liu Ruxi's foolishness in choosing to ignore Shangguan Yucheng. Even if Shangguan Yucheng was not the best, he was still a prince, and he should still show proper etiquette.

Liu Shanshan stood up and curtsied to Shangguan Yucheng, saying, "So it's His Highness Prince Cheng! You're Princess An's seventh brother! Then Jiayi will also dare to call Your Highness Seventh Brother!"

She actually dared to elevate herself by going to fawn over that sickly man? Liu Ruxi almost burst out laughing at Liu Shanshan's behavior.

"Miss Liu is too kind."

Shangguan Yucheng nodded to Liu Shanshan and smiled slightly, a smile that was as warm as a spring breeze.

If it weren't for his chronic illness, his long stay in the palace, and his aversion to going out, His Highness Prince Cheng would have stirred the hearts of countless young women with his handsome face alone.

Looking at the somewhat similar face, Xiao Xiao suddenly thought of Shangguan Jingtai's alluring smile.

Why did I suddenly think of that guy Shangguan Jingtai?

Xiao Xiao shook her head and sighed softly, then noticed that Shangguan Yucheng was also looking her over.

Shangguan Yucheng's deep eyes shone with a particularly warm light, much like the warm winter sun.

Xiao Xiao began to suspect Shangguan Yucheng, wondering if he was so gentle to everyone.

Just as everyone was wondering what to say next, a young palace maid in a red palace dress hurried over, bowed to Shangguan Yucheng, and said, "Your Highness, the Empress wants you to come with me to the backyard. She says she has something to discuss with you!"

Shangguan Yucheng smiled apologetically at Xiaoxiao and the others, saying, "Excuse me, Yucheng!" before being pushed away by the palace maid.

The atmosphere returned to normal, though it was a little awkward.

Just as everyone was trying to figure out a way to defuse the awkward situation, a group of palace maids filed in, all there to lead everyone to the courtyard to rest.

Each palace maid wore different clothes according to her rank, divided into red, yellow, and green, with red being the most noble, yellow the next, and green the lowest.

The young palace maid, Xiaoxiao, was dressed in a bright green palace gown, making her stand out among the many palace maids.

The young palace maid led the way. She seemed to have just arrived, walking and stopping frequently, as she was not familiar with the road and had to consider the situation carefully at each intersection.

Seeing this, Lian'er was furious and complained to Xiao Xiao, "That Consort Xiao is such a snob! She looks down on you so much! Why didn't she invite you here? Isn't this just making you look bad?"

Xiao Xiao laughed and said, "Alright, alright! Don't be angry anymore, just come with me!"

Seeing that Xiaoxiao didn't seem to care much about the matter, Lian'er felt uncomfortable but just pursed her lips and stopped talking.

The young palace maid seemed embarrassed by what Lian'er said, and for a while, she didn't stop at all, leading the two of them for quite a distance. But after a short while, the young palace maid stopped again.

Lian'er finally couldn't hold back any longer and snapped, "Jingren Palace isn't Qianqing Palace, why is it so hard to recognize? My master and I have been here many times. Move aside, I'll lead the way, I don't believe it!" With that, she pushed the little palace maid aside and stormed ahead.

Xiao Xiao smiled and followed behind Lian'er with a helpless expression.

I wonder when Lian'er's fiery temper will ever change.

Lian'er seemed to have been holding her breath for a long time, and she walked ahead quickly. The little palace maid was too small to keep up and accidentally slipped and fell to the ground.

Xiao Xiao stopped to help her up, but when the two of them stood up, Lian'er was nowhere to be seen!

The young palace maid looked very guilty and said to Xiaoxiao, "Your Highness, I'm sorry, I've been a burden to you! Let me lead the way! Perhaps when we get there, that lady from before is waiting for us!" With that, she continued to lead the way.

Before long, they arrived at a courtyard. A young palace maid led Xiaoxiao into the courtyard and waited for her to sit down.

The young palace maid looked left and right but couldn't find Lian'er. She looked at Xiao Xiao with a troubled expression and said, "Your Highness Princess Xue, I'm so sorry. Perhaps that lady got lost. I'll go find her right away!" Before she finished speaking, she had already run off.

Xiao Xiao had been observing this little palace maid for a long time; she had deliberately let Lian'er get separated from her.

Xiao Xiao could tell that ever since Lian'er disappeared, this little palace maid had been able to find the intersection accurately every time, a stark contrast to her previous hesitant demeanor.

Looking at the courtyard again, there seemed to be nothing strange about it, but Xiao Xiao knew that just from the way she got here, she could tell that the courtyard must be extremely remote.

At this moment, an old nanny came out of the house, carrying a pot of tea. She smiled and said to Xiaoxiao, "Miss, you must be thirsty after a long morning! I've prepared some tea for you. Please enjoy it!" As she spoke, she poured Xiaoxiao a cup of tea.

Xiao Xiao smiled and accepted the tea, but did not drink it.

The old woman remained standing there, smiling at Xiaoxiao as she continued, "The tea is top-quality Biluochun; it won't taste good if it gets cold!"

Is this a way of making Xiaoxiao drink it in front of her?

There's definitely something fishy about this tea!

"Thank you for reminding me, Granny!"

Xiao Xiao smiled, picked up the teacup, covered it with a wrench, and when the teacup was almost to her lips, she took advantage of the old woman's inattention and poured all the tea into her sleeve. Then, she pretended to swallow and handed the empty cup to the old woman.

When the old nanny saw that Xiaoxiao had finished the whole cup of tea, her face immediately lit up with a smile.

"You must be tired, young lady! This old servant will not disturb your rest any longer!" With that, he withdrew.

After the old nanny left, Xiao Xiao began to recall all the unusual things that had happened that day. It was clearly Consort Xiao who had invited them to this peach blossom viewing, but she had not seen the hostess at all.

And this little palace maid and the old nanny are clearly setting a trap for themselves.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but frown. Why did they have to make such a fuss over her, the daughter of a mere vice minister?

Before Xiaoxiao could figure it out, she suddenly felt a little dizzy.

not good!

She still fell for their trap! Although Xiaoxiao only touched the rim of the cup and didn't drink any tea, she still underestimated them!

They even coated the rims of the cups with sleeping pills; their intentions were so meticulous. I must find a way to get out of here!

Xiao Xiao struggled to walk towards the courtyard gate, her body swaying precariously. Unfortunately, the medicine was too strong, and she fainted after only a few steps.

After Xiaoxiao fainted, several people walked in from the courtyard gate.
