Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan

next day

Shen She suddenly changed his itinerary, deciding to go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to visit the ailing Emperor De and report on the "important matters" in court, to see how Emperor De would decide.

Although Chu Yunhe is now acting as regent, everyone with eyes to see knows that real power is in Shen She's hands.

Although the Emperor was rescued after the last assassination attempt, he suffered a mental injury and remained in a daze like a block of wood. Now, the Emperor is nothing more than Shen She's puppet.

On the carved mahogany bed, Emperor De sat with a smile, touching the eight-treasure box in his hand, staring blankly out the door, completely ignoring the national affairs Shen She had mentioned.

The incense burner in front of the bed emitted wisps of smoke. The room was eerily quiet, except for Shen She's deep and chilling explanations, Emperor De's eerie smile, and the faint breathing of a few palace servants around Emperor De.

Suddenly, the head eunuch Chai Ming rushed in, looking somewhat flustered and helpless. He was taken aback when he saw Shen She in the room, but realizing that Shen She was talking to Emperor De, he immediately fell silent and stood in the corner.

Shen She glanced at Chai Ming standing to the side, raised his lips and smiled, "Eunuch Chai is sweating profusely, it seems he must have something urgent to discuss with Your Majesty. I have just finished speaking, why don't we help Your Majesty with some advice?"

After Shen She finished speaking, he ignored Chai Ming's predicament and even sat down on the low stool in front of the Emperor's bed as if no one was there. He looked at Chai Ming with an open and honest expression and said, "Eunuch Chai, speak."

Seeing that Shen She had no intention of leaving, Chai Ming hesitated for a long time before finally speaking, "Your Highness the Ninth Prince has come today."

Mentioning Xiao Xiao, De Di's chaotic eyes gradually cleared, and he even put down the long-broken treasure box in his hand with a hint of joy, "Xiao Jiu is here?"

Chai Ming nodded, "Yes."

"Why aren't you letting her in?" Dedi waved his hands repeatedly, as happy as a child, and began to tidy up his messy clothes at a loss.

The simple button could not be fastened no matter what he did, which made De Di jump and bounce around in frustration, just like a monkey scratching its ears and cheeks.

Although the palace is still nominally under the Chu family's control, behind the scenes everyone listens to Shen She. Seeing that Shen She had no intention of helping, the servants naturally wouldn't bother helping Emperor De get dressed. They all stood at a distance and watched, and no one stepped forward to help.

How did the king, who was originally most concerned about his words and actions, become so disheveled?

Just as the German emperor was getting anxious and his face turned red, a tall figure blocked his view.

Shen She extended his well-defined hand and slowly and meticulously buttoned up the Emperor's clothes, making sure they were perfectly sealed.

After a brief moment of astonishment, the German Emperor resumed his dazed state, staring blankly at Shen She and saying, "Huai Jin is the most sensible one."

Huaijin was Shen She's childhood name, supposedly given to him by his deceased mother.

The phrase "holding jade and precious stones, yet remaining ignorant of what to do" implies a person with an open and upright character, but unfortunately, Shen She became the most sinister and treacherous minister, completely unworthy of this phrase.

Few people would mention Shen She's courtesy name, and even fewer would bother Shen She, the current unsung hero of China, by mentioning his childhood name.

"Huaijin, do you think Xiaoxiao will think I look old if I wear this?"

If this were in the past, even when Emperor De was at his most outrageous, he would never have called Shen She by her courtesy name. But now, he is smiling and mentioning Shen She's courtesy name again and again. It seems that Emperor De has really gone mad.

Shen She fixed his gaze on Emperor De's bewildered expression, narrowed his eyes, and lightly patted away the non-existent dust on Emperor De's shoulder with his hand, saying with a smile, "Your Majesty is as dashing as ever, there is no need to belittle yourself."

Shen She didn't seem to take the matter to heart and continued to smile broadly.

"That's good, that's good." Upon hearing Shen She's words, De Di seemed to have swallowed a weight and became visibly steady, though his body still swayed from side to side from time to time, remaining quite unsteady.

Shen She helped Emperor De to his feet, and Emperor De finally steadied himself. "Quickly, let Xiaoxiao in!"

Chai Ming was startled out of his shock and hurriedly ran outside.

A short while later, Chai Ming led Xiao Xiao, dressed in a gorgeous outfit, into the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Xiao Xiao was surprised to see Shen She in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. After meeting Emperor De, she was momentarily stunned to see Shen She in court attire standing to the side.

This was the first time Xiao Xiao had seen Shen She dressed in formal attire.

Shen She stood quietly in the dim light, yet the intimidating aura emanating from him was enough to send chills down one's spine.

On the contrary, the De Emperor standing in front of Shen She was timid and had a silly smile on his face, which made Shen She seem like the destined emperor, whose majesty was inviolable.

Shen She narrowed his eyes, looking at Xiao Xiao, who was dressed in luxurious clothes, with a playful expression, waiting for Xiao Xiao to speak.

Under the watchful gaze of those watching the drama unfold, Xiao Xiao suddenly found herself at a loss for words, unsure of where to begin.

"My goodness, what brings you here?" Emperor De did not notice anything unusual about the two of them, and with a smile as if he had found a treasure, he stepped forward to help Xiao Xiao, who was bowing.

Xiao Xiao weighed Emperor De's attitude towards her and understood why Chu Xiao had developed such a domineering personality. She guessed that Emperor De truly doted on her.

Having tested Emperor De's attitude towards the original owner, Xiao Xiao felt much more at ease. Although there was an eyesore, Shen She, she felt it was worth it to do this in order to help her brother.

Xiao Xiao made up her mind, and a blush gradually rose on her face. After stealing a glance at Shen She, she said to Emperor De in a coquettish tone, "Father has been ill these days, and I haven't been able to come to see you. I just happened to get a prescription for health preservation these days, and I wanted to give it to Father."

Emperor De laughed heartily and patted Xiaoxiao's head. "You silly girl, when did you become so attentive? Tell me, what do you value that you want your father to grant you?"

Xiao Xiao blushed and glanced shyly at Shen She, then said, "There are outsiders here, so I can't say anything."

Emperor De laughed and scolded, "You rascal, do you ever have a moment of shame? Huaijin isn't an outsider, you said it's nothing."

Xiao Xiao kept her head down, her face flushed, and refused to speak, no matter how much the Emperor asked.

Left with no other option, the German Emperor had to help Shen She, who was standing nearby.

After watching Xiaoxiao's coy performance for a while, Shen She became interested and not only didn't want to leave, but also pulled over a low stool and shamelessly sat down, saying, "Princess, you look radiant with spring in your eyes. In my opinion, you're lovesick."

"Spring fever?" After a moment of confusion, Emperor De said with some regret, "That Zhao family boy is too arrogant and not suitable for you. You should choose someone else."

Emperor De suddenly brought up Zhao Junze, who had long been executed, causing the atmosphere in the hall to become unusually quiet.

Emperor De, however, was completely unaware of what he was saying and continued to criticize Zhao Junze.

Xiao Xiao really didn't want to mention Zhao Junze anymore, so she had to remind him, "Father, Lord Zhao has a fiancée, and besides..."

Zhao Junze, he died on his own, but you personally ordered his execution.

Xiao Xiao didn't say anything more, but Shen She, who was pretending to read a book, casually mentioned, "Lord Zhao was executed by His Majesty three months ago for failing to provide adequate medical care, and the Zhao family's property was also confiscated. Has His Majesty forgotten?"

"Zhao Junze is dead?" Emperor De was first shocked, then filled with resentment. "He deserved to die. He couldn't even cure my illness, causing me to be impotent for years."

Emperor De's face instantly turned fierce and menacing, all traces of his previous kindness vanished. He then became extremely fearful and shoved Xiao Xiao away, shouting, "Don't come any closer! You all want to kill me! You all want me dead! Don't come any closer! Huai Jin, save me!"

The German Emperor grabbed Shen She's sleeve in a panic, his face filled with fear. This fear seemed genuine, and he was so frightened that he lost control of his bladder on the spot.

Those present were already used to it. Apart from Chai Ming, the servants orderly pulled away the Emperor who was holding onto Shen She, and then someone went to the Imperial Hospital to call the imperial physician.

Looking at the shaken Emperor De, Shen She said calmly, "His Majesty has fallen ill again. It seems the princess will have to wait a few more days to come and visit him."
