Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan

Xiao Xiao opened her eyes and saw a white gauze curtain hanging low, with a faint medicinal fragrance filling the room.

Xiao Xiao rubbed her slightly dazed forehead and groped around, trying to prop up her aching body. She accidentally touched a slightly cool body next to her.

dead?

Xiao Xiao shivered and stiffly turned her head to see a man with loose clothes and long black hair that covered his face lying quietly beside her.

Xiao Xiao hesitated for a moment, but driven by curiosity, she brushed aside the man's long hair and saw his face clearly.

The man was handsome, but his face was sickly pale; it was Shangguan Yucheng!

Xiao Xiao checked Shangguan Yucheng's breathing; it was steady, he was still alive.

Perhaps due to his chronic illness, Shangguan Yucheng's body temperature was lower than normal, which is why Xiaoxiao mistakenly thought he was dead.

It seems that Shangguan Yucheng was also drugged. Fortunately, he only took a little bit, which is why he woke up so quickly.

Xiao Xiao looked around. There were no other decorations in the room. Apart from the bed where she was lying, there was only a mahogany table by the window, a few low stools, and a wardrobe against the wall. There were no other items in the room.

It seems that Shangguan Yucheng is indeed quite unfavored.

Just as Xiao Xiao was thinking about how to escape from here, Shangguan Yucheng beside her stirred and slowly opened his eyes.

Shangguan Yucheng looked at Xiaoxiao, whose clothes were disheveled, and his originally gentle gaze faltered. His cheeks flushed slightly, and he was about to speak.

Xiao Xiao quickly covered Shangguan Yucheng's mouth, her face serious, and said in a deliberately low voice, "If Prince Cheng doesn't want to die so soon, he should keep quiet!"

Because of the scandalous incident that Shen An and Xue Zhilan caused in front of the envoys from the Southern Frontier after the last palace banquet, Emperor Qixuan did not publicly reprimand the Shen and Xue families. However, he established a new rule in the palace: if such an incident occurs again at any major gathering, there is no need to submit a memorial; the offenders will be executed on the spot.

It seems someone wants to kill her. As for why they chose Shangguan Yucheng, it's probably because he's the least favored prince, and he's also weak and sickly, making him the easiest to manipulate.

Shangguan Yucheng looked at Xiaoxiao, whose collar had slipped to one side, closed his eyes, his blush deepened, and nodded to Xiaoxiao.

Xiao Xiao glanced at the door not far from the bed. There must be someone guarding the door. If she chose to escape through the door, it would be like walking into a trap.

Shangguan Yucheng seemed to have seen through Xiaoxiao's intention. He coughed twice and lowered his voice, saying, "There is a window on the east side of this bed. Below the window is the Youhu Lake. The only way for you to escape is from there."

Xiao Xiao quickly ran to the window, opened it, and looked out. She found that the window was only ten feet away from the lake shore. Based on Yao Yao's description of the palace, she quickly figured out where the courtyard was.

To the east of Shangguan Yucheng's house is Chuxiu Palace, which is closest to Consort Xiao's Jingren Palace. Xiaoxiao must get back there before they realize she is missing.

But when Xiaoxiao saw the deep lake, she felt a little scared and regretted not learning the art of levitation sooner, so that she wouldn't be trapped here.

Suddenly, she heard a knock on the door. Without thinking, Xiaoxiao immediately jumped into the lake. Fortunately, the water was not deep, only up to her neck. She swam forward while holding onto the wall and soon reached the shore.

The young palace maid who knocked on the door saw no movement inside, so she cautiously opened the door and went in. But after taking only a few steps, she felt her foot slip and fell straight to the ground, knocking herself unconscious.

Shangguan Yucheng walked to the little palace maid's side, leaned down to look at the person who had fainted on the ground, his eyes unfathomable.

If the palace maid were still awake, she would have been terrified, because Shangguan Yucheng was standing there upright, and this frail and sickly Prince Cheng had not stood up for almost 10 years.

When the young palace maid woke up, she found herself lying on the ground. Remembering what Consort Xiao had instructed her to do, she immediately jumped up. She vaguely saw someone lying on the bed, so she decided to go all out and shouted loudly, "Who are you? What are you doing in Prince Cheng's room?"

Her shouts instantly attracted countless heads, as if they had been waiting outside to watch the commotion inside.

A series of coughs came from the bed. The little palace maid was overjoyed. Sure enough, Prince Cheng was in that bed, and the woman must be in bed too. She asked even more desperately, "Your Highness Prince Cheng, are you alright?"

On the white bed curtains, one could vaguely see a person slowly sitting up, with waist-length hair swaying behind them; it seemed to be a woman.

Seeing this, the young palace maid shouted even more loudly, "How dare you! I'll drag you out!" She then stepped forward and forcefully lifted the bed curtains, so that everyone could see who was in the bed.

As the bed curtains were lifted, only Shangguan Yucheng was on the bed!

The young palace maid was instantly dumbfounded and immediately looked around the bed, hoping to find Xiaoxiao's figure.

"Xiaoqing believes that besides me, who else is in my bed?"

Shangguan Yucheng coughed twice. Despite the little palace maid's rude behavior, his tone remained gentle, but his words were full of authority.

The palace maid named Xiaoqing turned pale instantly and hurriedly replied, "No, no, Your Highness, you misunderstand. Xiaoqing was just worried about your safety and afraid that someone might have ill intentions towards you!"

Shangguan Yucheng glanced at Xiaoqing in front of him, coughed twice, and continued, "So now is it confirmed that there is no one else?"

Xiaoqing then realized that her behavior seemed a bit abnormal, and quickly apologized. If she didn't back down, someone with ulterior motives would use it against her, so she could only retreat reluctantly.

Everyone's curiosity was piqued, and they all looked around the room. But when they saw that there was no one else on Shangguan Yucheng's bed except himself, they began to complain about Xiaoqing's overreaction, thinking that Xiaoqing had misjudged the situation.

Xiaoqing was filled with unease. She had clearly seen those people put the woman and Shangguan Yucheng together, so how could the woman suddenly disappear?

And when I entered the house just now, I clearly saw that there was nothing under my feet, so how did I suddenly slip and fall?

Xiaoqing was completely baffled.

After everyone left, Shangguan Yucheng, who was sitting on the bed, straightened his disheveled clothes and a hint of sarcasm appeared on his lips.
