Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan

Zhui Feng was putting on an act for Shen She to see in front of everyone. He needed to provoke Shen She and force him to stop accompanying the "Empress Dowager" to offer incense and worship Buddha for a few days. Only then would the false message he sent to Xu Hengyuan be effective.

But I didn't expect Shen She to react so strongly.

Despite Shen She's cold and fierce gaze, Zhui Feng continued his performance, "My lord, I am a scholar, and scholars are known for their pride. Naturally, I would never stoop so low as to sell myself for personal gain..."

Shen She's gaze grew colder and colder until Zhui Feng finished speaking passionately, then he smiled leisurely and said, "I certainly understand your good intentions, sir. I will inform the Empress Dowager. It's getting late. Lord Zhui, you've been busy all day, so why don't you go and rest early?"

Shen She's voice was extremely calm, yet chillingly cold. Zhui Feng knew that Shen She was truly furious.

If you're going to act, you have to act convincingly so that people can't tell the difference between reality and fiction.

Zhui Feng knew his words were inappropriate; he had clearly hurt the other person's feelings. But since he had already said it, he could only leave it at that. So, Zhui Feng silently withdrew without saying anything more.

After Zhui Feng left, Shen She tried to calm himself down and walked alone towards the courtyard where the Empress Dowager resided. From a distance, Shen She's figure appeared somewhat lonely and forlorn.

Meanwhile, Xiao Xiao was very surprised to see Shen She let Zhui Feng go so easily. In Xiao Xiao's opinion, if anyone dared to talk about his relationship with the Empress Dowager in front of Shen She, that person would definitely be severely punished by Shen She.

However, the truth is that Zhui Feng left unharmed. Xiao Xiao found this strange; did Shen She really not care at all? Or was there some deeper reason? But these questions might never be answered for Xiao Xiao.

When Shen She walked into the courtyard where the Empress Dowager lived with a gloomy expression, the maid on duty at the gate recognized him at a glance and immediately opened the door respectfully to welcome him in.

When Shen She entered the room, the "Empress Dowager" was lazily lying on the chaise longue, eating melon seeds, looking quite content. But as soon as she saw Shen She enter, the "Empress Dowager" immediately became nervous, quickly sat up straight, and waited respectfully for Shen She's questions.

Shen She glanced at the "Empress Dowager" who was twisted into a pretzel with disdain, a slight, almost imperceptible smile playing on his lips, and retorted sarcastically, "Rong Qing, you did a good job today!"

Shen She's secret guard organization has three protectors, each responsible for different tasks.

Mo Feng was responsible for relaying information, Zhui Feng for gathering intelligence, and Rong Qing for collecting money.

Logically speaking, Rong Qing should be the most composed and shrewd one, but I never expected him to have such a strong passion for acting.

Rong Qing scratched his head, a slightly embarrassed smile on his face. He knew that Shen She wasn't really praising him, but rather mocking him. He quickly explained, "My lord, I had no choice! I've never met the Empress Dowager, and I can only infer her personality and preferences based on what Zhui Feng told me about your past with her. Only in this way can I portray the Empress Dowager more convincingly, so as not to be exposed."

Shen She was too lazy to argue with Rong Qing about these details. He knew that although Rong Qing could be mischievous at times, he was reliable in crucial moments. So, he cut straight to the point and gave Rong Qing an important instruction: "Xu Hengyuan will receive news tomorrow morning confirming that the Empress Dowager will be going to Wuhua Temple to offer incense in three days. Moreover, I will voluntarily resign from my official post to avoid suspicion. At that time, you must capture those assassins, preferably alive."

Upon hearing that there was work to be done soon, Rong Qing immediately perked up and patted his chest, guaranteeing, "Sure, sir, leave everything to me! Even if it's a dead man, I can pry his mouth open!"

The baby's face, still closed, was covered with thick layers of rouge and powder, making it look like a palette of colors.

Shen She pointed to his face with a look of disgust, then ordered, "Quickly clean all this mess off your face, it makes you look like a ghost!"

Rong Qing, however, approached Shen She as if presenting a treasure, showing off, "My lord, this was painted for me by Miss Xiao from the courtyard. What do you think? Is it alright?"

The girl in the courtyard, Xiao, is the little beggar that Shen She picked up last time.

“You haven’t been back to the courtyard in so long. Last time the osmanthus tree bloomed, Miss Xiao picked a lot and said she wanted to make osmanthus cake for you!” Rong Qing said, gesturing as she spoke.

Shen She felt a surge of warmth in his heart, but still stubbornly said, "Alright, alright, I know."

"During this trip south, I heard there's a famous doctor there who specializes in eye diseases. Maybe he can cure Miss Xiao's eyes. Then she won't have to stay cooped up in the courtyard all day and can go out for walks!" Rong Qing said excitedly, expressing his hopes. He was filled with hope and anticipation, as if he could already see the moment when Miss Xiao regained her sight.

Shen She had a vivid memory of this incident, but seeing Rong Qing's expectant look, he couldn't help but tease, "What, you've fallen for that pretty girl?" He smiled slightly, a hint of mockery in his expression.

Upon hearing this, Rong Qing was startled and quickly waved his hand in denial: "No way, how could that be? Miss Xiao is now the master's sworn sister, I wouldn't dare to have any designs on her." His face flushed slightly as he explained nervously.

Shen She couldn't help but smile, thinking that this kid was quite shy. He gently shook his head and said, "I just saved him on the spur of the moment. You actually believed the lies I told him while treating him?" His tone carried a hint of helplessness and amusement.

Rong Qing, however, disagreed, saying, "Of course! I've never seen an adult treat us so gently before." A hint of envy flashed in his eyes.

Shen She smiled instead of getting angry after hearing this, and said softly, "You are men and they are women, how can you treat them the same?" His eyes revealed understanding and tolerance.

"But you weren't this nice to other women! Like that Ninth Princess, for example." Rong Qing continued, unafraid of the consequences, "And even the Empress Dowager was..."

Before he could finish speaking, he felt a cold wind blow over him. Rong Qing couldn't help but shiver and looked up, only to find that Shen She was staring at him with a gloomy expression.

Rong Qing was startled and realized that she had said the wrong thing, so she quickly shut her mouth and dared not make another sound.

Shen She's face was now extremely grim; his fists were clenched, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. Rong Qing, on the other hand, trembled with fear, filled with regret. She thought to herself, "Why couldn't I control my mouth? Now I've angered Shen She, and things are probably going to get tough for me from now on."
