Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan

Chapter 273 The Dark Moonlight in My Heart (43)

A few more days passed, and Xiao Xiao indeed heard news of Jiang Wan Ning's additional title and the Xiongnu from the north coming to sue for peace.

Chu Yunhe happily agreed and told Xiaoxiao to prepare for marriage, so that she could marry into the border region in exchange for a few years of peace.

Chu Yunhe ordered more than ten cartloads of dowry to be prepared, and appointed the newly appointed General Chu as the person in charge of the wedding procession, which shows that he put a lot of effort into it.

Looking at the bustling crowd outside the courtyard wall, everyone seemed to be busy with their own wedding preparations. But Xiao Xiao knew that this wedding procession was doomed to fail, because Shen She would come to abduct her, and then she would be shot dead on the spot by General Chu...

Suddenly remembering this long-lost name, Xiao Xiao felt an indescribable pain in her heart. Fortunately, she was pulled back by Ru Yan's nagging voice, "Your Highness... Waaah, the Emperor is so heartless. He sent his own sister to marry a foreign ruler. I heard that the Xiongnu chieftain only wanted to marry a noblewoman, but the Emperor insisted that no noblewoman could compare to a royal lady. He used you to exchange for a few years of peace on the border, which will surely make him famous for generations to come."

Xiao Xiao listened numbly to Ru Yan's sobs, her face a mixture of joy and sorrow. Sure enough, her brother was still the same brother who hated evil as if it were his enemy. She could repay his kindness by contributing to his cause.

On the day of the wedding, the sun shone brightly and the spring breeze was gentle.

Dressed in a magnificent phoenix coronet and wedding gown, Xiao Xiao slowly walked towards the exquisitely decorated carriage under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Just as she was about to step into the car, a voice suddenly rang out: "Wait!" This shout, like a thunderclap, shattered the solemn and dignified atmosphere of the scene.

Everyone turned to look in the direction of the sound, and saw Chu Yunhe striding out from the crowded throng. His bright yellow dragon robe shimmered brilliantly under the radiant sun, as if illuminating the entire world.

His black brocade boots came to a steady stop in front of Xiaoxiao. Then, he slightly parted his thin, chiseled lips and said softly, "Your Majesty, this journey represents the majesty of our royal family. You must not act as willfully and childishly as you have in the palace in the past."

Chu Yunhe smiled, his tone both gentle and authoritative: "Royal sister, the journey ahead is long, so please be extra careful. This is a peace talisman that your brother specially requested Consort Jiang to obtain. She cares deeply for you and hopes it will ensure your safe and smooth journey. Therefore, after you leave the city, please remember to wear it." With that, Chu Yunhe gently took Xiaoxiao's fair and delicate hand and solemnly placed the peace talisman in her palm.

Xiao Xiao took the amulet and examined it carefully. The amulet was somewhat uneven to the touch, as if it hid some secret.

As intelligent as she was, she had already guessed that this third task was probably closely related to this peace charm.

Thinking of this, Xiaoxiao couldn't help but tightly grip the amulet in her hand, nodded slightly to Chu Yunhe in thanks, and said softly, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty and Sister Wan Ning. I will remember it." After speaking, she turned and stepped into the magnificent carriage that had been waiting for her for a long time.

With a crisp crack of the driver's whip, the carriage slowly started moving and headed out of the city, leaving Chu Yunhe standing there, watching the carriage gradually disappear into the distance.

Chu Yunhe stood tall and straight, his deep eyes fixed on the wedding procession that was gradually receding into the distance.

The procession was vast and long, with banners fluttering and drums and music filling the air, creating a lively and festive atmosphere.

Chu Yunhe slightly curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a meaningful smile, and murmured softly, "Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao, I hope this marriage will go smoothly, and that you will not disappoint my expectations of you."

At this moment, Jiang Wanning, who had been standing quietly beside Chu Yunhe, was deeply moved by the grand and magnificent scene before her.

She turned to look at Chu Yunhe, a hint of admiration in her eyes, and said with emotion, "His Majesty values ​​this marriage alliance so much. I imagine that the princess will be sensible and considerate of the bigger picture, and will marry into the country with peace of mind, becoming a bridge for friendly relations between the two countries."

However, Chu Yunhe merely smiled at Jiang Wanning's naive idea and said nothing more.

In his view, this gentle and charming woman was ultimately too naive and kind, failing to see through the turbulent and unpredictable power struggles hidden behind the court.

However, it is precisely this rare innocence that makes Jiang Wan Ning all the more precious and adorable in Chu Yun He's eyes.

After a moment of silence, Chu Yunhe slowly extended his right hand and gently grasped Jiang Wanning's slender and delicate hand. His gaze was as gentle as water, and his tone was exceptionally mild: "The wind is getting stronger here, and you might catch a cold if you stay out in the wind for too long. Why don't you come back to the palace with me?" With that, he took Jiang Wanning's hand and turned to leave the high platform, leaving behind a tall and imposing figure.

Jiang Wanning originally thought that once she entered the palace, she would only be able to live a miserable life. She did not want to share a husband with other women. She planned to live a peaceful life in her small courtyard with her zither. However, she did not expect that one day Chu Yunhe would pass by the courtyard by chance and fall in love with her music. From then on, she gained the emperor's favor and his affection grew day by day.

Jiang Wanning felt that the beauty was unreal, but she was also a grateful person. Chu Yunhe valued her, so naturally she would repay him in the best way. This wedding procession was arranged by her Jiang family.

Her father and brother would escort Xiaoxiao safely to the Xiongnu.

As soon as she stepped out of the car, Xiao Xiao quickly tore open the amulet Chu Yunhe had given her amidst Ru Yan's exclamation. It had only a bright red character for "live" on a white background.

With just that one word, "live," Xiao Xiao already understood what Chu Yunhe meant: she had to survive and tell Chu Yunhe in person that Shen She was dead.

This is the last and most worthwhile thing she, as bait, can do; then she can "die."
