Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan

Chapter 112 The Wise Cannon Fodder's Path to Crushing Scum (31)

Xiaoqing immediately reported the matter to Granny Ge.

Granny Ge looked inscrutable, while Xiaoqing knelt below, not daring to utter a sound.

Finally, Granny Ge spoke up, "Alright, I understand. You may leave now!"

Xiaoqing wiped the sweat from her forehead and quickly retreated.

Not long after Xiaoqing left, Granny Ge made a throat-slitting gesture towards the shadows.

Then I heard the window suddenly open wide, and a cold wind blew in from outside, making a "whoosh" sound as it hit the objects. The temperature inside the room dropped to a low point instantly.

Granny Ge sighed softly, seemingly talking to herself, "Another wasted move!"

Xiao Xiao arrived safely at the backyard of Jingren Palace. She was soaking wet and needed to quickly meet up with Lian'er and change into clean clothes.

Lian'er had already realized that Xiao Xiao and the others had lost their way, and hurriedly turned back to look for them, but no matter how she looked, she couldn't find the way back. This peach forest seemed simple, but every step she took was quite methodical, as if someone had set up an array in this peach forest.

A warning bell rang in Lian'er's heart!

Oh no, someone is deliberately trying to separate her from the lady.

Lian'er immediately sent out a signal, hoping that the spies planted by Qianji Pavilion in the palace could see it and notify the Pavilion Master immediately.

Xiao Xiao followed her memory to the entrance of the peach grove, but after circling around it several times, she still couldn't find the small pavilion. Could it be that she remembered it wrong?

Just as Xiaoxiao was worrying, she suddenly heard a series of hurried footsteps. Without thinking twice, Xiaoxiao immediately hid behind a large rock nearby.

As the footsteps drew closer, a flash of light appeared, and the man fell to the ground, blood splattering everywhere.

Xiao Xiao covered her mouth in terror, afraid that the person would discover that she was behind the boulder. After a long time, when there was no more movement, Xiao Xiao peeked out to see what was going on.

As soon as Xiao Xiao peeked out, she saw a person lying on the ground, blood staining the ground red. Before she could see what the person looked like, she saw a flash of cold light and a long sword was placed in front of her.

Xiao Xiao was so frightened that she immediately backed away. The person was dressed in black and had a mask, so her face was not visible.

Xiao Xiao quickly calmed down and tentatively said, "Brave warrior, if you spare my life, I am willing to pay 5 taels of silver."

Undeterred, the man continued to press forward, raising his longsword to stab Xiaoxiao.

Xiao Xiao closed her eyes in despair, waiting for death to come, but after a long time there was no movement.

Just as she was about to open her eyes to see what was going on, a white outer garment fell from the sky, covering her completely and obscuring the bloodshed before her eyes.

Shangguan Jingtai descended from the sky, and peach blossoms fell to the ground.

The silhouette of the man cast on the ground reflects the image of the flower, making him appear as handsome as a god. The noble and elegant demeanor he exudes is so stunning that it leaves one speechless.

After Shangguan Jingtai dealt with the black-clad assassins, he quickly left with Xiaoxiao.

Although the wind in April wasn't as cold as in the dead of winter, it still carried a slight chill. Xiao Xiao was soaked through and shivering from the cold, sneezing in the wind.

Shangguan Jingtai seemed to sense her coldness and stopped. Xiaoxiao didn't react in time and bumped into his strong back due to inertia.

Xiao Xiao rubbed her head, which was a little sore from the bump.

"You are not allowed to associate with strangers from now on!"

Shangguan Jingtai had his back to Xiaoxiao, so she couldn't see his expression, but Xiaoxiao could clearly sense that he was angry.

Xiao Xiao looked at Shangguan Jingtai in front of her and suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Shangguan Jingtai turned around, his face full of anger.

Seeing that Shangguan Jingtai seemed to be serious, Xiao Xiao quickly stopped laughing and said, "So Your Highness treats me like a five-year-old child, needing to report to you where I go?"

Xiao Xiao wanted to say something to Shangguan Jingtai, but before she could finish speaking, she sneezed again.

Shangguan Jingtai looked at Xiaoxiao with a helpless expression. Even at this point, she was still joking. He still couldn't do anything about her. Seeing her pitiful appearance with her lips turning purple from the cold, he frowned and tightened the outer robe draped over Xiaoxiao.

Lian'er paced anxiously back and forth outside the main hall of Jingren Palace when she saw Xiao Xiao walking towards her from a distance.

Xiao Xiao had changed her clothes and was walking towards them.

When Lian'er saw Xiao Xiao arrive safely, she was overjoyed and quickly ran over to her, looking her over. "Miss, you scared me to death!"

"See, I'm fine, aren't I?"

When the two women entered the hall, they saw that everyone had already arrived and was all looking in their direction.

Liu Ruxi sneered twice and said to a woman in purple beside her, "I told you, people from the countryside are so unruly. What time is it already? If her maid doesn't go and call her, she's probably going to stay here!"

Although Liu Ruxi was speaking to the woman beside her, her voice was loud enough for everyone to hear.

Liu Ruxi was eagerly awaiting Xiaoxiao's retort, and she was also preparing her response.

Unexpectedly, Xiaoxiao bowed to everyone and said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have troubled you all to wait. I've always been a bit of a sleepyhead, and I overslept and completely forgot the time. I apologize to you all!"

Liu Ruxi continued relentlessly, "What's the use of just keeping you company! We've been waiting for you for two or three whole hours!"

This Liu Ruxi is really foolish. She picked a fight with me in front of so many important people. I'm clearly being used as a pawn again, and I don't even know it.

Oh well, I won't stoop to her level.

Xiao Xiao glanced at Liu Ruxi, who had a provocative look on her face, and smiled: "As an apology, all the sisters here will receive invitations to Jujiu Manor from the manor tomorrow, inviting you all to visit Jujiu Manor. All expenses will be waived!"

Upon hearing this, everyone became excited, as the invitations to Jujiu Manor were notoriously difficult to obtain.

A woman in pink from the crowd asked Xiaoxiao, "Is this true?"

Seeing that Xiao Xiao had successfully persuaded her with just a few words, Liu Ruxi said with great resentment, "Miss Cheng, you don't know, do you? Jujiu Manor is the private property of this princess!"

When everyone heard Liu Ruxi say that Xiaoxiao was the owner of Jujiu Manor, their eyes immediately lit up.

Xiaoxiao was surrounded by layers of people, including the woman who had just been called Miss Cheng.

They surrounded Xiaoxiao, asking her all sorts of questions about Jujiu Village.

Liu Ruxi's original intention was to get everyone to boycott these vulgar merchants like she did, but things didn't go as planned. Instead, it made Xiaoxiao's fame soar, and now her face was contorted with anger.

Just then, they heard the eunuch's call.

"Consort Xiao has arrived!"

The crowd quickly dispersed and bowed.

"Long live the Empress! Long live the Empress!"

Consort Xiao moved with light, graceful steps. In the candlelight, her complexion was as clear and beautiful as jade, her beauty beyond compare.
