Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan
Chapter 247 The Dark Moonlight in My Heart (7)
Like a wounded little animal, Xiao Xiao lay quietly on Chou Nu's broad and sturdy back, her eyes revealing endless sorrow and loneliness.
Shen She had planned to scare Xiao Xiao half to death by wearing the carefully prepared human skin mask, so that she would stop wandering around the palace late at night. But to his surprise, this seemingly delicate and timid girl showed no fear at all, and instead asked him to carry her back to the palace.
After all, he was still a naive child who couldn't distinguish between good and evil, beauty and ugliness! He just had a slightly bad temper, and after being scolded by his mother, he cried so heartbrokenly.
"What is it that makes Your Highness so sad?" A gentle evening breeze blew past the ugly servant, carrying wisps of faint osmanthus fragrance. This scent, both familiar and distant, gradually dispelled Xiao Xiao's unease and calmed her initial fear. At this moment, she only wanted to be alone with this unfamiliar ugly servant for a while.
"Ugly Slave, do you have parents?" Xiao Xiao asked softly.
Shen She's body stiffened slightly, and after a moment of silence, he slowly replied, "There was once."
"So, do you know why those who are usually kind, caring, and even doting on you suddenly become cold and heartless one day? Shouldn't family members respect and love each other?" Xiao Xiao's voice was full of doubt and confusion, as if she wanted to find the answer from Chou Nu.
Xiao Xiao lost her parents at a young age, living a lonely and wandering life. The only remaining connection in her life was the precious bond between her brother and sister. Therefore, she found it hard to understand why Gu Qingwan had changed—after all, her brother had always treated her the same.
"People always change, especially when they are facing the people and things they care about. They often show a completely different side of themselves than usual." Shen She lowered his head and silently stared at the road beneath his feet, taking each step with extra caution.
However, Xiaoxiao didn't entirely agree with Chounu's statement: "But I know someone who never shows any negative emotions in front of me. He's always so gentle and warm, like a ray of sunshine."
Shen She gave a helpless, bitter smile and said softly, "Your Highness, is there such a perfect person in this world?"
“Yes, I have met him before…” Xiaoxiao slowly leaned her head against Chou Nu’s broad, sturdy back, tears streaming down her face like a burst dam, soaking Chou Nu’s clothes. She was no longer as agitated as before; instead, she was unusually quiet. However, this silence was more heartbreaking than any cry.
Xiao Xiao silently shed tears, her heart filled with longing for her brother. She remembered her brother from when they were little, the brother who planted a garden full of osmanthus trees for her in their small courtyard; she remembered the brother who always spoke to her gently, cared for her, and loved her. But now, her brother had changed, becoming cold and indifferent, and even beginning to despise her.
Every tear seemed to fall on Xiaoxiao's broken heart, causing her unbearable pain. How she wished time could turn back, returning to those beautiful days of the past. Back then, her brother was still her closest person, and they had spent countless happy and carefree times together. But reality was so cruel; everything had changed, and before she could speak, tears streamed down her face.
“Then this person must be incredibly cunning. If someone truly meets someone they cherish, they could never be so calm and composed.” Shen She sighed, noticing that his back was soaked with cold sweat. He stopped silently, sighed softly, and said, “How can everything in this world go as one wishes? Your Highness, please don’t be too sad. The road ahead is long, and one day you will find someone to accompany you.”
“It’s impossible now! Given my current status and position, I really can’t stay by his side to talk to him and comfort him.” Xiao Xiao replied in a low voice, her face full of dejection, burying her head deep in Chou Nu’s broad and sturdy back.
"Is the person Your Highness wishes to accompany... the Fourth Prince?" The ugly servant's cold and clear voice suddenly rang out, like a thunderclap piercing the night sky, stirring one's heart and soul.
This person has lived deep within the palace for many years; how could he have known such secrets? Not to mention, he could see through the feelings that he had been carefully hiding all along.
Xiao Xiao's eyes opened slightly, revealing a face full of astonishment: "You ugly slave, how could you...?"
Shen She smiled slightly and said calmly, "Your Highness wears all your emotions on your sleeve. It would be strange if people couldn't read them." He thought to himself, if he were gone, then it would be a good thing if his younger brother had someone who cared for and looked after him.
Although this young girl has a somewhat impatient temper, she is kind-hearted, innocent, and has a very endearing personality. In this deep palace filled with intrigue and scheming, someone as pure and innocent as her is truly rare.
"I will keep my thoughts deep in my heart and never reveal them to anyone. You... you absolutely cannot tell anyone about this! If one day I find out that you have leaked the news, hmph, the consequences will be more than you can bear. Don't blame me for being ruthless and selling you to human traffickers!" Xiao Xiao put her hands on her hips, her cheeks puffed out in anger, her big eyes wide open, and threatened the other party fiercely.
However, her appearance was utterly harmless—after all, her voice was as soft and sweet as cotton, gentle and lovely; coupled with her slightly trembling tone and obvious sobbing, it not only failed to frighten people, but also added a touch of comicality.
This innocent little girl is simply unaware of what's happening... In the palace, a servant's betrayal is never as simple as just being sold off.
Shen She's lips curled into a slight smile, a hint of doting affection flickering in his eyes. He gently adjusted his position to make Xiao Xiao more secure and comfortable on his back, and said softly, "Alright, I will follow Your Highness's arrangements."
The little girl was clearly not satisfied with her performance. She frowned, her little mouth pouting so high it looked like it could hold an oil lamp. She added angrily, "This princess was absolutely telling the truth! I wasn't joking!"
However, faced with the little girl's serious warning, Shen She simply replied, "I know." His tone was somewhat perfunctory and casual, completely disregarding Xiao Xiao's words.
Seeing this, Xiao Xiao felt a surge of anger rising within her. She snorted coldly and tried to break free from Shen She's back to express her dissatisfaction and anger.
However, due to her unhealed foot injury, she felt a sharp pain as soon as she landed, making it almost impossible for her to stand or walk. Helpless, Xiaoxiao had no choice but to grit her teeth and obediently climb onto Shen She's back again, letting him carry her back to where she was.
Neither of them spoke a word the rest of the way, and the atmosphere became unusually dull and oppressive.
This scene was witnessed by the servant who had been hiding in the darkness.
After the two had walked away and disappeared without a trace, the person hiding in the bushes slowly got up and hurriedly ran towards Chu Yunhe's palace.
"Is this really true?" Chu Yunhe asked in a low voice with a solemn expression.
It should be noted that Shen She held a high position and wielded immense power, and had always preferred to do things his own way and act alone.
Moreover, this man's personality is extremely unpredictable and volatile, making him impossible to fathom. None of the guards previously sent to his residence on missions returned safely.
Shen She's methods were so cruel and his killing so ruthless that they were astonishing. He even went so far as to eliminate the Zhao family, who had once saved his life, without any mercy. He was truly cold-blooded to the extreme.
This has always puzzled Chu Yunhe. He can't understand why Shen She would help him.
Now, by sheer chance, the attendant witnessed another side of Shen She that was little known to others, and couldn't help but think to himself: perhaps we can start with this person who caused the change in Shen She, find his weakness, and then defeat him in one fell swoop.
As Chu Yunhe listened to the servant's account, he unconsciously stroked the exquisite wooden box that Xiao Xiao had given him earlier, lost in thought...
