Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan

Xiao Xiao stayed outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, unwilling to leave, until night fell and the palace lanterns of the Hall of Mental Cultivation lit up and went out again.

Although Emperor De was incompetent and tyrannical, he genuinely loved Gu Qingwan, and her daughter Xiaoxiao was also extremely favored. This same favor was once given to Chu Yunhe.

However, when Chu Yunhe's biological mother had an accident, Chu Yunhe was also implicated.

When it comes to Chu Yunhe's birth mother, Xiaoxiao doesn't have many memories of her. She only heard an old man mention her when she was still a beggar. He said that she was like the former Queen Consort of Yu, and when she danced, she was like a goddess from the heavens, aloof and isolated, extraordinary and otherworldly.

The palace doors were opened from the inside, and Shen She walked out with a cold expression. Facing Xiao Xiao, who was still waiting, he said, "His Majesty has retired for the night and has specially ordered me to attend to him. Your Highness, there is no need to wait here. Why don't you go back first?"

Xiao Xiao looked into the hall, her spoiled attitude turning into worry, "I want to stay a little longer."

Seeing that Xiaoxiao refused to leave, Shen She stopped trying to persuade her and simply ordered someone to bring a chair so he could sit down next to her.

As the moon rose, its silvery light bathed the entire palace courtyard. It was autumn, and the fragrance of osmanthus blossoms wafted faintly through the air.

Shen She gazed at the osmanthus blossoms filling the courtyard, lost in thought. He could almost hear the laughter and playfulness of the past, but when he looked up, he saw that his old friends were gone and his eyes were filled with devastation.

Xiao Xiao, standing to the side, looked worriedly into the hall and asked from time to time, "Does Your Majesty know when Father's illness will be cured?"

Shen She glanced at the dark hall, raised his teacup, and took a sip, his lips curving into a smile. "Your Highness, when do you think His Majesty will recover?"

Xiao Xiao didn't understand. "What do you mean by that, sir?"

Shen She put down his teacup, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and leaned close to Xiao Xiao's ear, speaking in a voice only the two of them could hear, and said with a smile, "Next month, I will be going south to inspect the salt. Your Highness will come again then, and perhaps His Majesty's illness will heal itself without medicine. At that time, Your Highness might be able to bring up your request."

Shen She's eyes were as dark as if they were sprinkled with a layer of gray-black, and the deep color of the lacquer was full of coldness and no warmth, harsh and indifferent.

Xiao Xiao was afraid of him, but not intimidated by him. In any case, Shen She would be severely weakened during this trip south, so she might as well take advantage of Shen She's trip south to help Chu Yunhe escape his predicament.

Xiao Xiao raised her head, with a touch of childlike arrogance, and said domineeringly, "Shen She, don't think you can hide in Jiangnan and escape me. If Father Emperor recovers, I will definitely have him issue an edict to grant us a marriage."

"Your Highness is quite persistent about marrying me," Shen She joked with a smile.

To show her sincerity, Xiao Xiao patted her chest and assured them, "Of course, I've never failed to get what I want. When the time comes, you'll be in Jiangnan, just wait to receive the imperial decree!"

The child, full of wild ideas, is unaware of the constraints of being in the royal family. Relying on his previous favor, he tries to do whatever he wants, truly audacious.

The evening breeze ruffled his hair, dispelling the coldness in Shen She's eyes and bringing with it a scrutinizing look. "Princess, you are so determined to marry me. I want to know, is it truly only because you are attracted to my appearance?"

Shen She is naturally suspicious; we must not let him doubt our motives.

"I just like your looks, so what? What's wrong with wanting to take you into the palace?" Xiao Xiao said matter-of-factly and bluntly.

"Take me into the palace? Your Highness didn't say that a few days ago. Your Highness wanted to make me your son-in-law." Shen She straightened his clothes with some disappointment.

"Of course, I'll make you my consort, but after the marriage, we'll live in the princess's residence." Xiao Xiao looked up blankly and met Shen She's slightly narrowed eyes.

A faint smile appeared on Shen She's lips. "Your Highness has even considered in such detail where we will live after our marriage. I am truly impressed."

Xiao Xiao felt a little embarrassed by Shen She's teasing. She rarely said such shameless things. If it weren't for keeping an eye on Shen She, she wouldn't have said such nonsense.

Xiao Xiao lowered her head and murmured shyly, "You're still nagging me? I'm just making plans for our future."

"The future..." Shen She paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Does someone as heinous as me even have a future?"

Xiao Xiao didn't expect that Shen She would also be afraid of death. It seems that even the most wicked people are not fearless and have weaknesses. However, Xiao Xiao didn't know how to answer Shen She's question, nor did she know how to answer in a way that would satisfy him.

Seeing that Xiaoxiao remained silent, Shen She laughed even harder, his phoenix eyes narrowing slightly, "It seems Your Highness doesn't truly want to marry me."

Shen She's mockery made Xiao Xiao blush with embarrassment, as if Xiao Xiao were a heartless and unfaithful man who only knew how to flirt and not take responsibility.

"Who...who said I didn't truly want to marry you? If you die, I'll just...I won't live either!"

Shen She raised an eyebrow. "Your Highness's affection is so profound, I am truly flattered. After my death, how will Your Highness commit suicide for love?"

Shen She seemed to have taken a liking to it, propping his chin up and watching Xiao Xiao with a leisurely air, waiting for her to give him a "way to die".

He was indifferent and aloof just a moment ago, but now he's so interested in his "method of death." This person is truly unpredictable and hard to fathom.

"Jump into the lake, hang yourself, take poison... one of these will work. Just wait for me down there, and I'll find a way to come find you." Xiao Xiao wasn't afraid of death. She had already died before anyway. Her life was given to her by her brother, and she naturally had to return it to him. Even if it meant dragging Shen She down to hell, she was willing.

[You audacious little liar, don't you even consider who you're trying to scam? Who would die for a complete stranger?]

Shen She sat up straight, losing his interest in teasing her. "It's getting late, I should escort the princess back."

The man stood up and strode out of the hall, giving Xiaoxiao no chance to react.

What a capricious and eccentric person.

Xiao Xiao stomped her foot in anger, lifted her skirt, and chased after him, calling out, "Shen She! Wait for me!"
