Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan

When Xiao Xiao got up in the morning and was getting ready, she heard that the assassin who was trying to kill the emperor had been captured by Chai Ming the night before, but the assassin had committed suicide by poisoning himself before he could be interrogated.

The emperor seemed to be seriously injured; the palace was filled with imperial physicians coming and going, and everyone's face was filled with fear.

Ruyan was so frightened by what happened last night that she fell ill. Today, Awu brought Ruyan to help Xiaoxiao with her makeup.

Ah Wu was quiet and skillful, and soon the beautiful hair ornament was combed, making Xiao Xiao look even more elegant and noble.

Looking at her radiant face in the mirror, Xiao Xiao asked A Wu behind her, "How did you find out there was someone in my room?"

Awu stopped what she was doing, lowered her eyes and replied, "Sister Ruyan said that Her Highness is afraid of the dark and likes to sleep with a lamp on. Last night, many of the lamps in Her Highness's room were suddenly turned off."

The fact that the room suddenly went dark shows that A-Wu was able to deduce that something had happened to her, demonstrating her keen observation skills and remarkable character.

However, whether there will be any disloyalty needs to be carefully considered.

"Today is the first day of my brother’s tenure as regent. How can I not send some congratulatory gifts on such an auspicious day? Awu, go and get the most expensive-looking one from my inner room."

The woman looked at herself in the mirror, admiring her own beauty with a look of pure bliss, not sparing Ah Wu a single glance, and remaining as arrogant as ever.

Awu glanced at Xiaoxiao, then acknowledged and withdrew.

Meanwhile, in the imperial court, Chu Yunhe, dressed in a light yellow dragon robe, sat on a low seat beside the dragon throne, listening to the court officials arguing incessantly.

The court was in an uproar over the invasion of the Xiongnu in the northwest. Most people were calling for peace and not war. Today, Shen She was on sick leave and staying at home. Chu Yunhe was just a puppet chosen by Shen She and had no real power.

Therefore, Geng Chen did not take Chu Yunhe seriously and even made several veiled criticisms of the court's incompetence.

Chu Yunhe remained calm as always, standing there motionless, neither expressing his opinion nor offering any advice, like a stone statue, his face showing no emotion.

It really does look like a puppet on a string; without its owner, it would just sit there blankly.

As the courtiers argued, perhaps finding it boring, they gradually fell silent, stopped arguing, and returned to their seats.

Chu Yunhe looked at the court officials in the hall, each with their own ulterior motives, and said with a smile, “My lords have already worked too hard for the fate of China. I am only temporarily acting as regent. Everything is still up to my father to decide. If there is nothing else, my lords may leave now.”

Chu Yunhe remained impartial and allowed everyone to leave the court first, leaving the senior officials who originally wanted to rely on their seniority with no way to make a move and forcing them to give up for the time being.

After court, Chu Yunhe returned to his bedchamber. As soon as he reached the gate, the guards at the entrance greeted him, "Your Highness."

Chu Yunhe glanced at his attendants behind him without showing any emotion. "You may all leave. I want to be alone for a while."

Chu Yunhe stepped into the palace gate, and as the gate closed, everyone's view was cut off from the outside.

Chu Yunhe entered the inner room and stood in front of an easel. After carefully examining it to make sure no one was following, he turned a stone pillar to move the easel, revealing a dark room.

Chu Yunhe cautiously surveyed his surroundings and, finding no one following him, entered the secret chamber with peace of mind.

The stone path at the beginning of the secret chamber was narrow, but it opened up after a few steps, and became even more spacious and bright as you went deeper into the chamber.

Chu Yunhe was holding a candle, but before he could stand still, a sound came from behind him.

"You came."

Chu Yunhe turned his head and saw Shen She, dressed in red robes with black cloud patterns, standing in the darkness. The firelight illuminated his graceful face, making it appear and disappear, which was very strange and difficult to discern, just like Shen She himself, who was very mysterious and unpredictable, and hard to fathom.

Chu Yunhe didn't think he had any use now. He was just curious why Shen She had chosen him, so he didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Why me?"

Shen She looked at Chu Yunhe, who was dressed in bright yellow, and saw that his face had changed so much from when he was a baby. If it weren't for the birthmark and the letter, Shen She wouldn't have recognized him. He lowered his eyes and explained, "You don't need to know the specifics. You just need to know that your mother was kind to me, and it is only right that I help you."

The two sat down on a chair in the dark room.

"I will investigate my mother's death myself; there is no need for you to interfere, sir." Although Chu Yunhe craved power, he disdained to join forces with darkness. He wanted to investigate the cause of his mother's death step by step through his own efforts.

Shen She hadn't expected Chu Yunhe to be so naive and inexperienced. Hearing Chu Yunhe's words, Shen She smiled coldly and ruthlessly, "If I hadn't helped you, you would have been poisoned to death in that cold palace long ago."

Chu Yunhe looked at Shen She, who was indifferent and sneer, and recalled that a few days ago he had spent money to have someone secretly bring him a bowl of porridge, but the porridge had spilled on the way.

At first, Chu Yunhe thought that the palace servants were deliberately making things difficult for him because he had given too little money. But later, he accidentally noticed that the area under the withered tree where the porridge had been spilled was pitch black, and he suddenly realized that someone wanted to harm him.

"Did you order someone to spill that bowl of porridge?" Chu Yunhe was shocked. He hadn't expected Shen She's strength to have reached such a level that the palace was like an empty place to him.

Chu Yunhe is somewhat cunning, but he is still too inexperienced for Shen She, who is the future ruler. This is not a good thing.

But Shen She cannot tell Chu Yunhe why he is helping Chu Yunhe.

Shen She stroked the jade thumb ring on his hand, remained silent for a long time, and then nodded slightly and said, "Your Highness only needs to know that I, Shen, will not do anything detrimental to Your Highness. As for anything else, I have nothing to say."

It's not surprising that Chu Yunhe suspected Shen She, since they had no prior interaction and Shen She was not only incredibly powerful but also very mysterious. His father trusted him implicitly and he also had a close relationship with the Empress Dowager.

Such a person wouldn't help him for no reason, so Chu Yunhe couldn't help but suspect that Shen She had ulterior motives.

"I have neither power nor reputation now. Even if you help me out of old friendship, wouldn't it be too much of a hassle? Besides, my temperament is not as easy to control as Third Brother's. If you choose me, aren't you afraid that I might change my mind in the future?"

Upon hearing Chu Yunhe's words, Shen She laughed, "The throne of a king is inherently dangerous, and I, Shen She, have died ten thousand times, so naturally I have no fear. What is wrong with living for the good and dying for the bad?"

Looking at Shen She, who was smiling broadly in front of him, Chu Yunhe felt that this man was too crazy. No wonder he was able to climb to his current position. He was not afraid of death, so what else could he be afraid of?

Chu Yunhe put aside his fear and pondered that Shen She's power was now overwhelming, and he was nothing but an ant. To confront him would be suicide. It would be better to go along with Shen She for now and eliminate him when his power was strong enough.

"Since you're helping me, I have no reason to refuse. When I ascend the throne, you will be my right-hand man." Chu Yunhe feigned allegiance to deceive Shen She into believing him.

Shen She looked at Chu Yunhe, who had a devout expression, and grinned, saying, "Since Your Highness is so sincere, I shall first ask Your Highness for a promise."

Before Shen She could finish speaking, he handed over a yellow silk cloth and asked Chu Yunhe to sign it.

Shen She, that fox, probably already guessed that if he succeeded, he would definitely eliminate him. Now he asked him for a promise, but there was nothing on this silk cloth. If Shen She wanted the country, wouldn't Chu Yunhe have to hand it over?

Chu Yunhe looked at Shen She, who was laughing hysterically, and found it irritating, but given the current situation, he could only try to stabilize Shen She as his "backer".

After Chu Yunhe wrote his name, Shen She picked up the silk cloth, examined it carefully, smiled, put it into his pocket, and stood up to see Chu Yunhe off.

After Chu Yunhe left, Shen She took out the silk cloth again and stared blankly at the words on it.

Mo Feng emerged from the shadows, looked at the dazed Shen She, and coughed lightly. Shen She then snapped out of his reverie and smiled at Mo Feng, saying, "Yun He's handwriting is becoming more and more like the old man's, much better than mine."

Hearing Shen She's words, Mo Feng felt a pang of bitterness and felt sorry for Shen She. "Your Highness, you've done so much for the young prince, and he doesn't believe you and even doubts you. He..."

Before Mo Feng could finish speaking, Shen She glared at him, shutting him up. Mo Feng realized he had misspoke, so he silently lowered his head and stood there without saying another word.

Mo Feng had been by Shen She's side since he was a child, and Shen She couldn't bear to really punish him. He just let him stand in the secret passage and think things through before going back.

Then Shen She's figure slowly disappeared into the dark secret passage.
