Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan

It was already the coldest time of the year, and it had snowed a few days ago. The heavy snow covered the eaves thickly, and the old paper windows, which had been neglected for years, were now dilapidated. Even when closed, a cold draft would still seep in.

The room was dark, damp, and cold, with no light for a long time, and even icicles were hanging from the beams.

"Cough...who is it? Cough"

A male voice, accompanied by a slight cough, came from inside the house. Xiao Xiao looked in the direction of the sound.

The man, dressed in a thin blue jacket, sat at the desk. His face was pale from a long illness, and his sleeves were washed until they were white, yet his refined and noble air was still undeniable.

"So it's the Ninth Princess." Chu Yunhe's dark eyes looked coldly at them, filled with unspeakable disgust. Unlike the gentle voice he remembered, "Ninth Princess, what brings you to my wretched place in this freezing weather?"

Xiao Xiao knew that Chu Yunhe had been living a hard life, but she didn't expect it to be this hard. She felt sad and heartbroken, and quickly instructed the little palace maid beside her, "Go and give the thick coat I brought to my brother."

The young palace maid was somewhat reluctant, but she obediently went to fetch a coat for Chu Yunhe.

"What does Ninth Princess mean by this?" Chu Yunhe looked at Xiaoxiao but did not take her, clearly showing that he did not take Xiaoxiao seriously.

In the past, Chu Xiao would have been furious, perhaps even slapping Chu Yunhe and cursing him for daring to disobey her. But today, Chu Xiao not only didn't do that, but instead looked at him with pity.

Chu Yunhe admitted that he was no longer the fourth prince praised by everyone, but a bastard despised by everyone. He was already grateful for the emperor's grace to be alive, so he was unmoved no matter how Chu Xiao had humiliated him before.

However, such sympathy appearing on the face of someone with malicious intent seems rather out of place.

Could it be that this arrogant and domineering Ninth Sister has come up with another way to get back at me?

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? The Ninth Princess gave it to you, so just accept it and don't be ungrateful." The little palace maid, dragging her coat, saw Chu Yunhe's ungrateful behavior and her previously suppressed anger was instantly ignited. She shouted at Chu Yunhe in a bad mood.

Xiao Xiao had only heard from servants that her brother seemed to have a bad relationship with the Ninth Princess. It was a bit unusual for her to suddenly show goodwill now, given her status. No wonder Chu Yunhe was so wary.

After much thought, Xiao Xiao still felt that she should maintain Chu Xiao's usual domineering attitude, otherwise it would be too abnormal and difficult to explain.

The woman stood in the snow, slightly raising her beautiful face, a mocking smile playing on her lips. "This princess was only thinking of the bond between siblings, but I didn't expect my brother to doubt me like this. It's really hurtful. Xiao Qiao, let's go."

After Xiao Xiao finished speaking, she got up and walked back. The palace maid called Xiao Qiao saw this, glared at Chu Yunhe, and hurriedly followed, dragging her coat. However, she had only followed for a couple of steps when Xiao Xiao stopped.

When Xiao Qiao saw that Xiao Xiao had stopped, she also stopped, keeping her head down for fear of being implicated.

Xiao Xiao glanced at the brocade jacket on the plate, frowning with annoyance, "Why are you still dragging this filthy thing along?"

Xiao Qiao was startled and immediately understood Xiao Xiao's meaning. She hurriedly threw the tray and the fine clothes into the snow. There was no regret on her face, but rather disgust. "These are filthy things that even dogs wouldn't want. Of course, the princess wouldn't look at them. It was my carelessness."

Xiao Qiao carefully observed the expression on the person in front of her. Seeing that Xiao Xiao was no longer as angry as before, she asked with relief, "Does the princess want to go to the Imperial Garden? The Empress Dowager has acquired several new red plum blossoms today and is in a very good mood. She is currently enjoying the plum blossoms with others."

Xiao Xiao glanced at the scattered clothes with her phoenix eyes, then looked up at where she had come from. "Let's go then."

When a spoiled woman is humiliated like this, she will naturally try to find ways to shame herself. Sure enough, as the woman arrogantly leaves, she doesn't forget to kick the clothes on the ground a few times.

Gradually, light snow began to fall from the sky, fluttering down around Chu Yunhe.

"Looks like it's going to snow again. Cough cough."

Chu Yunhe coughed a few more times, feeling extremely cold all over. He hadn't eaten for several days and had now caught a cold. The servants, who were already outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant, were even more afraid of being punished, so they naturally ignored him, their abandoned son.

If this continues, he will die.

He hasn't yet sought justice for his mother, and the villains who framed him haven't been caught yet; he can't die now.

Chu Yunhe's gaze fell on the clothes scattered on the ground not far away, and he gritted his teeth and walked over.

He picked up the clothes from the ground, shook off the dust, and brought them back inside.

The clothes were ordinary, but very thick, and didn't look like they came from Jinhui Academy. Chu Yunhe frowned and touched them, and sure enough, he felt several hard objects.

Chu Yunhe chuckled to himself as he carefully removed the hard objects from those spots. He had expected them to be hidden weapons like silver needles, but instead they turned out to be a few small pearls. They didn't look very big and appeared to be of poor quality, probably left behind by some abandoned headdress.

His dear sister probably didn't know, otherwise she wouldn't have just stomped on it a few times; she would have torn the clothes to stop.

The palace needs money the most, and I am penniless now. Since the pearl was dropped unintentionally, why not make use of it?

Thinking of this, Chu Yunhe silently put away the pearls, wrapped himself in his clothes, and prepared to take a short rest.

Xiao Xiao walked slowly towards the Imperial Garden, but her mind was still on Chu Yunhe. She accidentally twisted her ankle and almost fell into the withered flower bushes beside her.

Fortunately, Xiao Qiao reacted quickly and caught Xiao Xiao, preventing her from falling.

The sudden noise seemed to have startled the small animals in the flowerbed, who started chirping and twittering incessantly. Just as Xiaoxiao was about to check on them...

A pure white kitten darted out from inside, lazily stretching as it landed on the ground.

Xiao Xiao felt the cat looked familiar, but couldn't quite place it, so she asked Xiao Qiao, who was standing next to her, "Where did this cat come from?"

Upon seeing this, Xiao Qiao looked terrified and bowed to the cat, saying, "This servant greets Master Tanuki."

"Whose cat is this?" Xiao Xiao was also surprised. How did she end up running into Shen She today?

Xiao Xiao had never met this Shen She in her previous life, but she knew a little about his infamous reputation.

Shen She, a treacherous minister in the court, wielded great power and was ruthless, feared by all.

It was said that Shen She had an extremely beloved white cat, which he doted on so much that it once accidentally injured a pregnant imperial concubine, causing her to miscarry. However, he did not receive any punishment from the emperor. Instead, the emperor made the imperial concubine, who had just miscarried, apologize to the cat.

This demonstrates the extent of Shen She's power.

Since the cat was here, Shen She must be nearby as well. Xiao Xiao didn't want to provoke him unnecessarily, so she followed Xiao Qiao's example and curtsied to the cat, saying, "Greetings, Master Tanuki."

The white cat must have been spoiled; it raised its head, stretched, and then slowly walked forward.

"My lady, so you're here! I've been looking for you everywhere!" Eunuch Deng suddenly popped out from behind the flower bushes, his head still covered in snow, looking quite comical.

When Eunuch Deng saw Xiao Xiao, he was also surprised and quickly bowed, saying, "Greetings, Ninth Princess."

“Eunuch Deng, what is this…” Xiao Xiao nodded.

Eunuch Deng quickly climbed out of the flower bushes, looking helpless. "Master Li is very playful. The banquet is about to start, and the Empress Dowager has sent us to invite Master Li back."

While Eunuch Deng and Xiaoxiao were talking, the white cat disappeared again, startling Eunuch Deng, who quickly chased after it, calling out, "Master Tanuki, wait for me..."

"A treacherous minister's pet deserves to be pampered like this. It seems that China is doomed." Xiao Xiao looked disdainfully at the departing figures of the person and the cat, and sighed inwardly.

In her past life, Shen She and Chu Yunhe were at odds, so Xiao Xiao naturally disliked Shen She as well. Knowing that Shen She was in the Imperial Garden, she naturally didn't want to go there again. However, since she had already arrived at the entrance, it wouldn't be good not to go in.

I had no choice but to bite the bullet and go inside.
