Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan

"Your Highness, Xu Hengyuan, the governor of Nanling, has long since betrayed us. Now he is colluding with the Xiongnu in the north, trying to attack us from both sides and destroy our China." Zhui Feng slammed his fist on the table in anger.

Mo Feng, who was standing to the side, frowned and analyzed, "It would be inappropriate for Your Highness to go there rashly now."

Shen She calmly looked at the book in his hand, as if he didn't care about the matter at all. "Xu Hengyuan is good at seizing opportunities and gaining power. Otherwise, he wouldn't have joined my camp when the dynasty changed."

Zhui Feng, exasperated, glared at Shen She with his fox-like eyes and poked Shen She's chest with his index finger. "Your Highness should have gotten rid of this opportunist back then. Why have you kept him around until now?"

Shen She gently patted the back of Zhui Feng in his arms to comfort him, "Sometimes, the reason why a fence-sitter turns against his own side is naturally because the other side is in a strong position. If the other side suddenly loses its momentum and there is no news of it, then the fence-sitter will naturally come back."

As the three were discussing their options, a maid's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Ninth Princess, the Empress Dowager is resting in the inner room and is not receiving guests. Please come to visit another day."

Xiao Xiao glanced inside the door, then quietly stood guard at the entrance and said, "Sister Lihua, since the Empress Dowager is not here, I will wait here until she wakes up, then I will go in to pay my respects to her."

Pear Blossom hesitated, but dared not offend Xiao Xiao, so she had no choice but to acquiesce to her waiting at the gate of the courtyard.

Mo Feng's expression darkened slightly, and he muttered in a low voice, "What is that woman doing here at this time? Should I just send her away?"

Shen She glanced at Zhui Feng in his arms. She was alluring and beautiful, and it was difficult to tell whether she was male or female without a closer look. If he could end this girl's pointless entanglement, it would be a good thing.

A slight, almost imperceptible smile appeared on his lips: "Since she's already at the door, let's invite her in!"

After accepting the order, Mo Feng went out to lead the men. At this moment, Zhui Feng was somewhat bewildered. He secretly glanced at the smile on Shen She's face and felt a chill run down his spine, making him feel uneasy all over. So he cautiously asked, "Your Highness, how would you like me to cooperate?"

Shen She smiled and gently took Zhui Feng's hand. "Just act as usual, don't be shy."

"No need to be so reserved?" Zhui Feng silently shed tears. He was a model young man, but just because he was a bit handsome, Shen She sent him to this palace to impersonate the Empress Dowager who had suddenly died a few days ago. It was bad enough that he had to pretend to be a woman all day long, but now he was also asked to help deal with Shen She's rumored lover. "Your Highness said so, so I'll just let loose and act."

Upon hearing Zhui Feng's words, Shen She raised an eyebrow and glanced sideways at the group approaching from afar. He parted his thin lips slightly and uttered two words indifferently, "Granted."

These two words landed softly on Zhui Feng's ears, but Zhui Feng felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy. This tone was usually used when someone was in a state of intense anger.

Zhui Feng smiled obsequiously, sweating profusely but immediately getting into character. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief, leaned against Shen She's chest, and giggled sweetly in a high-pitched voice, "Ah She~ Why did you only come to see me now? Do you know how I've been these past few days while I was sick?"

Shen She held Zhui Feng's hand, stiffened for a moment, then smiled with narrowed eyes, "I have been too busy these days and have not been able to spare time to accompany the Empress Dowager. It is my fault that the Empress Dowager is so sad."

Having long heard of Shen She's extraordinary relationship with the Empress Dowager, it's hard for Xiao Xiao not to be shocked now that she has witnessed it with her own eyes.

After a slight embarrassment, Xiaoxiao followed the maid into the house.

The Empress Dowager, feeling disturbed, reluctantly got up and moved to the main seat. Her fox-like eyes narrowed slightly, and she snapped at the maid with displeasure, "Didn't I tell you not to let anyone in? Why did you still let them in?"

The maidservant immediately knelt down and cried out, "Your Majesty, it's the Ninth Princess who wants to see you. She said she won't leave until she sees you. I really have no choice."

The woman standing in front of the hall had bright eyes and white teeth, especially her clear, watery eyes, which were captivating.

Compared to Shen She, she seems a bit younger. Logically speaking, Shen She wouldn't need to put on an act in front of such a greenhorn girl; a few harsh words would be enough to make her back down.

Zhui Feng glanced at Shen She, who was sitting upright to the side, and suddenly felt playful. He slowly got up and walked to Xiao Xiao.

"What are you here for?"

Xiao Xiao was surprised to find that the Empress Dowager, who looked thin and frail, was actually quite tall. When she stood up, Xiao Xiao had to look up to meet her gaze.

"Your Majesty, next month we will be going south to worship Buddha, and I would like to go with you."

After lingering on Xiao Xiao and Shen She for a moment, Zhui Feng burst into laughter. He only stopped laughing after hearing Shen She cough a few times. He then looked at Xiao Xiao with an indifferent expression and asked, "Why should I grant your request?"

"I have heard that Your Majesty has been suffering from headaches lately and has consulted many good doctors without success. Fortunately, I have a new maid who knows some medicine. This is a new prescription that the maid has prepared for Your Majesty. Your Majesty may wish to try it."

"Are there any capable people in this palace? How come I don't know them?" Zhuifeng smiled as she took the prescription, looked it over, and, not seeing anything special, tossed it to Shen She. "I don't understand pharmacology, so why don't you take a look at this prescription for me, Shen Qing? Is there anything wrong with it?"

Shen She slowly took the prescription and looked at it carefully. After a moment, he slowly said, "It's just some common calming herbs. It won't harm anyone."

Seeing that the prescription was harmless, Zhuifeng naturally wouldn't make things difficult for Xiaoxiao. He smiled and patted Xiaoxiao's shoulder, "Jiu'er is really sensible. If the prescription is useful, I can consider taking you with me on my journey south."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Xiao Xiao bowed slightly to thank Zhui Feng. "Then this humble woman will take her leave now. Your Majesty, please continue to rest. This humble woman will not disturb you any longer!"

Zhui Feng glanced at Shen She, whose expression had darkened slightly, chuckled, and praised, "Good boy, go back now~"

As Xiao Xiao turned and took a step, she heard a seductive voice behind her that sent chills down her spine, "Ah She~ Why are you leaving too?"

Shen She pried Zhui Feng's hand away and replied coldly, "I just remembered that I have some matters to attend to, so I will not keep the Empress Dowager company for a chat."

"Ah She~" Zhui Feng suppressed a laugh, looking at Shen She's back with affectionate eyes and asked, "When will you come again?"

"The Empress Dowager is going south to worship Buddha, and the Fourth Prince has ordered his ministers to escort her." Shen She did not linger, leaving the slender and charming woman to grieve in silence. "Alright, A-She, we will wait."

Xiao Xiao felt a chill run through her body. Suppressing her nausea, she quickly walked towards Jin Hui Courtyard.
