Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan

In this battle against the Xiongnu, the Chinese army achieved a great victory, inflicting heavy losses on the Xiongnu. This victory not only greatly boosted the morale of many Chinese people, but also reversed the long-standing unfavorable situation of repeated defeats for the Chinese army on the battlefield.

As the commander-in-chief, Chu Huaijin was immediately commended by the imperial court after his triumphant return to the capital.

He was promoted and ennobled for his outstanding military achievements, and his career progressed smoothly. In a short period of time, he rose from an ordinary military officer to a remarkable General of the Cavalry.

In addition, the emperor bestowed upon him extremely generous rewards, with countless gold and silver jewels continuously sent to his residence. However, unexpectedly, Chu Huaijin refused them all without hesitation in the face of such enormous wealth.

Chu Huaijin only asked for one thing. The thing he requested from the emperor was not these worldly treasures, but the mansion that had once been the residence of Prince Jing and was later occupied by the treacherous minister Shen She.

Initially, Chu Yunhe hesitated slightly regarding Chu Huaijin's request, given the complex background of the mansion. However, after investigation and verification, confirming that Shen She had indeed passed away, Chu Yunhe no longer had any reservations and decisively bestowed Shen She's mansion upon Chu Huaijin. He even personally wrote the inscription for the Chu family mansion, which was then hung above the gate.

From then on, Chu Huaijin's fame spread far and wide, and he became the most sought-after person in the capital, with everyone vying to curry favor with him. Many people who heard that Chu Huaijin was still unmarried began to consider marriage alliances with him, and those who wanted to marry him almost wore down the threshold of the Chu residence.

Unfortunately, due to Chu Huaijin's poor health and need for quiet recuperation, he closed his doors to visitors, so most people who wanted to curry favor with him could not see his true face.

Time flies, and before we knew it, some days had passed, and the cold winter quietly descended upon the earth.

This winter seems particularly long and cold, with biting winds howling and icy rain and snow falling in abundance, far exceeding the amount of previous years.

Xiao Xiao, who has been bedridden for a long time, is getting weaker and weaker. Today, she was dragged by Ru Yan to go to the Imperial Garden to bask in the sun.

Looking at the worried Ruyan in front of her, Xiaoxiao couldn't refuse Ruyan's good intentions, so she could only drag her slightly heavy steps and slowly walk into the Imperial Garden.

Upon arriving at the Imperial Garden, Xiaoxiao found a quiet pavilion and gently lay down on a deck chair, basking in the warm winter sun.

Sunlight shone on her pale face, bringing a long-lost warmth, causing her to squint her eyes slightly, lost in this moment of tranquility.

However, just as Xiaoxiao was immersed in this wonderful moment, a burst of laughter suddenly came from behind her, breaking her leisurely time.

Startled by the sound, she slowly opened her eyes, somewhat annoyed, only to see a beautiful couple strolling hand in hand towards her.

Chu Yunhe held Jiang Wanning's hand affectionately, his eyes revealing a tenderness that Xiaoxiao had never seen since her reincarnation, as he softly comforted the solemn-faced Jiang Wanning beside him.

The tone of Chu Yunhe's voice when he spoke to Jiang Wanning was remarkably similar to that of his past life, and this familiar voice instantly evoked Xiao Xiao's distant memories.

All the memories of the past flooded her mind, but at this moment, as she witnessed this scene again, she no longer felt the heart-wrenching pain and bitterness of before. Instead, she felt a deep sense of relief and sincere blessings.

Xiao Xiao had to admit that her heart had changed. She no longer admired the moon of her childhood; her heart had uncontrollably been given to a dead person...

Perhaps it was because Xiao Xiao's gaze was too unusual that it caught the attention of the other two. The moment Chu Yunhe saw Xiao Xiao, he instinctively shielded Jiang Wan Ning behind him, fearing that Xiao Xiao might do something harmful to Jiang Wan Ning.

"So it's my royal sister here!" A look of surprise appeared on Chu Yunhe's handsome face, as if he really hadn't expected to meet Xiaoxiao here.

Chu Yunhe's smile faltered slightly, remaining fixed on his exquisitely sculpted face. At the same time, his tall and imposing figure subconsciously shifted forward, completely shielding Jiang Wan Ning behind him, his protective intent unmistakable.

Xiao Xiao seemed quite indifferent to Chu Yunhe's series of actions. She simply raised her eyebrows slightly, then gave Chu Yunhe a curtsy with an elegant and dignified gesture, and said softly, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Seeing this, Chu Yunhe quickly waved his hand and replied gently, "No need for formalities." Then, his deep, pool-like eyes began to scrutinize Xiaoxiao in front of him, as if trying to find some clues from her.

A moment later, Chu Yunhe smiled slightly and deliberately brought up a topic: "I heard a few days ago that my sister-in-law was ill. Unfortunately, your sister-in-law was grieving the loss of a family member and was unable to visit you. I hope my sister-in-law will not take offense."

When he said this, Chu Yunhe deliberately emphasized the words "Emperor's sister-in-law," and anyone could hear the protectiveness in his words and the deliberate reminder of Xiaoxiao's identity.

In reality, Chu Yunhe's deliberate act of leading Jiang Wanning to this place concealed a hidden purpose and meticulous planning. He had long been aware of Xiaoxiao's unique and unusual sibling-like feelings for him.

For a long time, Chu Yunhe has cleverly used this factor to make Xiaoxiao willingly obey his commands and arrangements, becoming a pawn in his hands that he can manipulate at will.

Because he knew that in order to control the situation, he had to make sure that every piece stayed in its proper place and never had any wishful thinking about things that were impossible to achieve.

However, at this very moment, when Chu Yunhe and Xiaoxiao's eyes met, Chu Yunhe still keenly noticed the change in her eyes—the ardent and intense love that was originally so intense it was almost overflowing had quietly diminished.

At this moment, Xiao Xiao's gaze was open and honest, meeting Chu Yunhe's wary scrutiny directly. She sincerely thanked Jiang Wanning, saying, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am deeply grateful."

Jiang Wanning only saw Xiaoxiao's true face at this moment, and was shocked.

Her arched eyebrows and beautiful eyes, though not deliberately looking at people, were captivating. Her delicate nose, oval face as clear as jade, and pale, sickly skin as white as ice and snow, combined with her slender and graceful figure, made her exceptionally beautiful.

She stood there gracefully, like a blooming flower, beautiful and charming.

Any woman who sees such a beautiful woman would likely feel a stirring in her heart, let alone the hot-blooded men.

No wonder this notoriously capricious princess is so beloved and pampered. One glance at her stunningly beautiful face is enough to guess why.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Wanning instinctively gripped Chu Yunhe's sleeve tightly.

However, when she thought about how Chu Yunhe and this person were not only siblings, but also seemed to have some unknown personal grudges, the tense expression on her face instantly turned into a hint of contemptuous mockery.

Jiang Wanning gently released her hand, slowly lowering the delicate hand that had been clutching Chu Yunhe's sleeve, and then carefully hid behind Chu Yunhe's tall figure.

Then, she lowered her voice and laughed heartily, "We're all family, no need to be so polite!"

Xiao Xiao felt a wave of fatigue wash over her, as if her entire body was enveloped in a heavy weariness. She really had no desire to linger any longer in this bustling and beautiful, yet also unsettling, imperial garden, so she sighed softly and prepared to turn and leave.

Just as Xiao Xiao bowed slightly to Chu Yunhe to indicate her departure, Chu Yunhe suddenly spoke, "Next month, I will publicly choose a husband for you." These words were like a thunderclap, instantly exploding in Xiao Xiao's ears. Xiao Xiao, who had already lifted her foot and was about to take a step away, suddenly stopped in her tracks as if she had been frozen in place.

She turned around in astonishment, staring intently at Chu Yunhe, her brows furrowed, and asked in confusion, "Didn't His Majesty promise to allow my mother and me to leave the capital? Why are you doing this now?"

From the moment they first met until now, when facing Chu Yunhe, Xiaoxiao has always been as indifferent and detached as a puppet without any emotional fluctuations.

However, at this moment, the woman finally reacted to his words, and an expression appeared on her face. Unfortunately, it wasn't a pleasant expression; instead, it seemed somewhat angry.

Although Chu Yunhe was not quite sure why Xiaoxiao had such a strong reaction, seeing that he could still easily influence her emotions, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and satisfaction.

He looked tenderly at Jiang Wanning beside him and said softly, "Wanning, you have recently become pregnant. It is not advisable to stay here for long. I will have someone escort you back to the palace to rest. I have some matters to discuss with the Ninth Princess alone."

Chu Yunhe ruthlessly issued the order to leave, sending Jiang Wanning away. Jiang Wanning didn't want to be sent back so inexplicably, but she couldn't resist the palace servants' forceful dragging and pulling.

Helplessly, he was pulled away from the Imperial Garden by the palace servants.
