Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan
Chapter 249 The Dark Moonlight in My Heart (9)
Just after the morning court session, before Chu Yunhe could even catch his breath, a figure blocked his way.
He looked closely and saw that it was Xiaoxiao. She was looking at him with a complicated expression, her eyes revealing a hint of confusion and stubbornness.
Chu Yunhe silently gazed at his younger sister, saying nothing, simply watching her quietly. Finally, Xiaoxiao could no longer contain her doubts and spoke first, asking, "Why...why did you save me?"
Chu Yunhe gently stroked the jade thumb ring on his hand, a slight smile playing on his lips, but the smile didn't reach the depths of his eyes. He slowly said, "I am your elder brother, we are family. It's only natural for family members to help each other."
The voice was calm and gentle, as if it were all perfectly natural.
Xiao Xiao is here in this life to repay a debt of gratitude, not to collect a debt. She already owed him too much in her past life, and she really doesn't want to owe him anything more in this life.
"You saved me, how do you want me to repay you? I don't like owing favors." Xiao Xiao turned her head slightly, avoiding Chu Yunhe's gaze, and looked into the distance.
Chu Yunhe keenly noticed Xiaoxiao's unease, and a slight smile appeared on his lips: "Since Your Highness has said so, it would seem rather pretentious for an elder brother to continue to refuse."
He stepped forward, coming into Xiaoxiao's view, just blocking her from looking into the distance, and then said with a smile, "Then, let me make three requests, and I hope Your Highness will grant them."
Xiao Xiao looked puzzled: "Three requirements?"
Noticing Xiaoxiao's hesitation, Chu Yunhe added, "Of course, these three requests will absolutely not violate public order and good morals, much less be immoral or immoral. I wonder what Your Highness thinks?"
Xiao Xiao's cheeks flushed instantly. She didn't dare to look directly at Chu Yunhe, lowered her head, and softly replied, "Okay... I promise you."
Chu Yunhe sneered inwardly. He never expected that his usually arrogant and domineering sister would care about propriety and shame.
Just as the two were speechless and the atmosphere was a little awkward, Chai Ming rushed over and whispered something in Chu Yunhe's ear.
As Chu Yunhe listened carefully to Chai Ming's words, he narrowed his eyes slightly, then glanced thoughtfully at Xiao Xiao and slowly said, "My dear sister has been unwell these past few days and probably hasn't visited Father Emperor for quite some time. It just so happens that I also plan to visit Father Emperor today. Would my dear sister be willing to come with me?"
This was the first time in his entire life that his brother had so sincerely invited him to travel together.
A surge of joy welled up in Xiao Xiao's heart. Almost instinctively, she reached out and tugged at Chu Yunhe's sleeve, replying softly, "Yes, I would be very happy to go with my brother to visit Father."
At this moment, Xiaoxiao's smile was as bright and beautiful as a flower, and her beautiful eyes sparkled with a dazzling light like stars, as if there were not a single impurity in them.
Xiao Xiao's innocent, frank, and straightforward appearance gave Chu Yunhe a jolt, and he suddenly understood what it meant to be "a woman who should only exist in heaven."
However, when Chu Yunhe realized this thought deep in his heart, his face suddenly turned gloomy. He quickly and forcefully pulled away Xiaoxiao's small hand that was tightly gripping his sleeve and said in a cold tone, "Royal sister, as a member of the royal family, you need to be mindful of your words and actions."
Xiao Xiao realized that her actions were too impulsive and rash. Her face paled, and she quickly withdrew her hand, saying apologetically, "Your Majesty is right. I promise there will never be a next time."
Seeing the woman become depressed because of his words, Chu Yunhe felt a pang of guilt. However, when he recalled Xiaoxiao's past behavior, his softened heart hardened again. He sternly reprimanded her, "It's good that you know you were wrong... Let's go."
Chu Yunhe had barely finished speaking when he strode away, seemingly without a trace of regret. When Xiaoxiao came to her senses, she found that Chu Yunhe had already walked quite a distance away.
Xiao Xiao was startled and quickly quickened her pace to catch up with Chu Yunhe, following him closely to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Before long, they arrived at their destination—the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Not long after entering the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Shen She came out of the hall.
"Is Lord Shen also here to visit the Emperor?" Chu Yunhe asked, feigning ignorance.
Just as Shen She was about to turn and leave, he suddenly stopped. His cold and indifferent eyes glanced at the energetic Xiao Xiao beside Chu Yunhe and said, "Your Majesty, I come to visit you every day after the morning court session. Your Highness should know this."
Upon hearing this, Chu Yunhe seemed to have just recalled that such a thing had indeed happened. He patted his forehead and laughed, "Oh dear, look at my memory! I actually forgot what you do every day, my lord. How about this, as punishment for my forgetfulness, that you join me for drinks and merriment at the flower-viewing banquet held in the palace three days from now?"
"Thank you for your kindness, Fourth Prince, but let's leave the drinking aside. I have important matters to attend to and cannot disturb you further, Fourth Prince and Ninth Prince," Shen She politely declined.
Seeing that Shen She hadn't taken the bait, Chu Yunhe wasn't angry at all. Instead, he smiled and joked, "Hahahaha, Lord Shen is truly a man who is extremely busy! I have invited you three times already! But I have failed to get your permission each time!"
"Your Highness is too kind. It is not that I am disrespecting you, but I am simply not a good drinker and cannot keep you company," Shen She explained sincerely.
"I see," Chu Yunhe said, feigning regret. "It's such a pity."
"Your subject will take his leave now." Shen She bowed and left Yangxin Hall without looking back. Xiao Xiao watched Shen She's figure gradually disappear into the distance, feeling somewhat dazed.
Chu Yunhe stared intently at Shen She and Xiao Xiao's every move with a calm and composed expression. His sharp, hawk-like gaze seemed to be able to see through everything.
Judging from the subtle changes in their expressions, actions, and words, Chu Yunhe thought to himself, "There doesn't seem to be any obvious familiarity between these two. Was it really not Shen She who saved Xiaoxiao when she fell into the water last time?"
