Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan

Qi Xuan 46 years ago.

The palace was filled with a festive atmosphere; the entire palace was decorated in red.

Today is the day that Crown Prince Shangguan Jingtai will marry Xiaoxiao.

Even the city's defense soldiers received special permission from the emperor to attend the grand wedding.

As soon as Emperor Qixuan and his entourage from Shunde arrived at Consort Xiao's palace, they sensed something strange.

The entire vast palace was eerily quiet.

Emperor Qixuan frowned and took a step to leave.

The palace gates were opened, and Consort Xiao appeared in a pale yellow long palace dress, her hair styled in a smoky hibiscus bun, her eyebrows lightly painted and her face powdered.

Just like when they first met, they strolled leisurely down the steps.

Emperor Qixuan's originally solemn face softened slightly upon seeing Consort Xiao, but he frowned again upon seeing Shangguan Jingde who came out afterward. "Why are you still here?"

Shangguan Jingde, who was following behind Consort Xiao, remained silent. Instead, Consort Xiao spoke first: "It was I who asked De'er to wait a few more days before going to his post! After all, it is the Crown Prince's joyous occasion, so Your Majesty should not say anything more about him!"

Emperor Qixuan glanced at Shangguan Jingde, who was hanging his head and looking dejected. "Since this is a celebration, why are you looking so gloomy? Get ready and come with me to see your third brother."

Shangguan Jingde bowed his head and responded.

Emperor Qixuan ignored him, thinking about everything that was about to happen, and excitedly took Shunde's hand: "I've been waiting for that brat to get married! Now you don't have to worry all the time!"

Shunde glanced at the obedient Consort Xiao behind her, then lowered her brows and smiled softly: "Thank you for your concern for Ziheng these past few days, Your Majesty. I thank you on behalf of my son!"

Emperor Qixuan looked at his wife and felt a pang of melancholy: "We've been husband and wife since childhood, why be so polite?"

Shunde remained silent, only chuckling to himself.

The group arrived at the main hall in a grand procession. Before Emperor Qixuan could even sit down, he heard the commotion outside the hall.

He hurriedly went out to greet him and saw Shangguan Jingtai riding a tall horse with an elegant bearing. Just as he was about to go forward to greet him, he was shot down by a cold arrow from somewhere behind him.

Emperor Qixuan clutched his shoulder, staring in shock at Consort Xiao, who stood behind him holding an arrow. "You, you all!"

Shangguan Jingde held a dagger to Shunde and sneered, "Father, you forced my mother and me into this! If you hadn't always favored Shangguan Jingtai, we wouldn't have resorted to this!"

"Ya Xian, I believe I have treated you well. The favor you have received is unique to me!" Emperor Qi Xuan was still in shock.

Consort Xiao laughed, a wild and triumphant laugh: "Who wants your damn favor? I only wanted the Empress Dowager's position! Now that you've come to block my way, I have no choice but to get rid of you!"

Emperor Qixuan stared in disbelief at the woman before him, who had once been gentle and elegant, but now wore a ferocious smile.

The woman in front of me was so unfamiliar; it was as if I had never known her before.

"It's still your precious son and daughter-in-law. Don't worry, they'll come and keep you company in a little while!"

At Consort Xiao's command, the imperial guards surrounded the palace.

Seeing the massive army, the wedding procession seemed to be frightened, and everyone fell silent.

Sitting on his tall horse, Shangguan Jingtai showed no fear whatsoever, simply watching the people in front of the hall in silence.

"I have never shown favoritism to anyone; I have treated you all equally!"

"You're lying. It's all your fault. You gave all your resources and connections to Shangguan Jingtai, which is why he was able to return from the Northern Border so easily." Shangguan Jingtai said, somewhat agitated, his dagger clearly having already slashed Shunde's neck.

"De'er, stop wasting time talking to them, just kill them all!"

Consort Xiao was clearly getting impatient and signaled to Shangguan Jingde to hurry up and take action.

At Shangguan Jingde's command, the archers had already drawn their bows and nocked their arrows.

At this critical moment, Shangguan Yucheng, who was sitting in a wheelchair, suddenly flew up behind Consort Xiao and took her hostage as well.

Consort Xiao looked at Shangguan Yucheng, who had stood up, with disbelief: "You, what's wrong?"

Shangguan Yucheng's brows relaxed, and he chuckled, "I'm truly sorry to disappoint Consort Shu! Not only did I survive, but I'm also not paralyzed. I owe this all to Consort Shu; otherwise, I would never have known that my life was so valuable!"

Emperor Qixuan was taken aback when he saw Shangguan Yucheng standing up again: "Cheng'er, what do you mean by that?"

"Your Majesty's meaning is quite clear: Consort Shu has been harming the imperial heirs!"

Facing the vast army, Shangguan Jingtai showed no fear, climbing step by step.

"And my sixth brother, Father treats us all the same. This time, when we went to the Northern Border, Father didn't send any of his trusted confidants!"

Shangguan Jingtai glanced at the standoff between the two sides and spoke again: "Sixth brother, if you release my mother, I will release your mother. We will let bygones be bygones!"

Upon hearing this, the almost crazed Shangguan Jingde suddenly attacked, striking Xiao Shufei's throat with a hidden weapon. "You can't threaten me," he said, glancing at the lifeless Xiao Shufei with a grin. "My mother taught me from a young age that to achieve my goals, I'll stop at nothing. She won't blame me!"

Emperor Qixuan looked at Consort Xiao, who was lying on the ground and had already died, his face deathly pale. He looked up in horror and pointed at Shangguan Jingde, saying, "Monster! They're all monsters! Execute this freak on the spot!"

Shangguan Jingde's dagger drew closer to Shunde's neck, and he said, "You dare? If you dare, I'll kill her right now!" Then he shouted at the Imperial Guards, "What are you all standing there for? Fire the arrows!"

Seeing that the Imperial Guards made no move, Shangguan Jingde's heart sank. He thought to himself that something was wrong, but then he was thrown away by Shunde, who was in front of him, with an over-the-shoulder throw.

Before he could react, Shangguan Yucheng stepped on his head.

Shangguan Jingde's face was pressed to the ground, unable to move. He could only watch as Shunde, who had just been held hostage, lifted the human skin mask, revealing that cold and aloof face.

"It's you!"

Shangguan Jingde's voice was filled with gritted teeth and hatred, as if he wanted to tear Xiaoxiao to pieces.

The woman glanced at Shangguan Jingde, who was still struggling and beating him to death at her feet, and delivered the fatal blow.

The woman parted her lips slightly and said, word by word, "Your father still believed in you and your mother until just now when we were giving our advice. It was you who chose to abandon him!"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Jingde, lying on the ground, stared blankly at Emperor Qixuan, who looked as if he had aged ten years. "Is what she said true?"

Emperor Qixuan, helped to his feet by Shangguan Jingtai, looked at his beloved youngest son on the ground and said with a pained expression, "If I hadn't acquiesced, do you think you could have entered the palace safely?"

No wonder my journey has been unusually smooth.

Shangguan Jingde suddenly gave a bitter laugh and roared at Emperor Qixuan, "That's because you, the father, have wronged me, the son. I will make you live in repentance for the rest of your life!" After saying that, he bit his tongue and committed suicide.

This palace coup was swiftly suppressed. The eldest princess who participated in the coup was demoted to a commoner, while An Rongruo was sent to the southern border for a political marriage.

A few years later, Emperor Qixuan died, and Shangguan Jingtai ascended the throne, granting a general amnesty.

Together with Empress Xue, he established an enlightened and prosperous era.

Even women could enter the imperial court as officials.
