Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan
Chapter 282 The Dark Moonlight in My Heart (52)
Xiao Xiao and Chu Huaijin's wedding date was quickly set for three months from now. During this time, Chu Yunhe frequently summoned Chu Huaijin to the palace, ostensibly to discuss important national affairs, but in reality, it was intentional, to create more opportunities for Xiao Xiao and Chu Huaijin to spend time together.
Finally, on a sunny afternoon, Xiaoxiao successfully stopped Chu Huaijin in the Imperial Garden. It was just as winter was about to end, and the thick snow was slowly melting, with water droplets sliding down the eaves, as if playing a melody of spring.
Xiao Xiao stood in front of Chu Huaijin with a furious expression, and said in a delicate voice, "Chu Huaijin! Why have you been avoiding me?"
Faced with Xiao Xiao's questioning, Chu Huaijin merely bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Your subject dares not." However, his gaze did not linger on Xiao Xiao, but instead kept looking around, clearly eager to leave.
Seeing this, Xiao Xiao's anger intensified. She stepped forward, blocking Chu Huaijin's path, and asked again in a sharp voice, "Then why won't you marry me? Am I not good enough for you?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Huaijin quickly lowered his head and replied, "Your Highness is of noble birth and of noble birth; how could this humble subject dare to have the slightest intention of offending you?"
"Fine, Chu Huaijin, you're clearly mocking me for not being able to persuade you, aren't you?" Xiao Xiao stared intently at the man in front of her, whom she both loved and hated.
Chu Huaijin hurriedly shook his head and denied it: "I have no such intention..." But despite his efforts to defend himself, his usually calm face gradually showed a hint of panic due to Xiaoxiao's repeated questioning.
It was this fleeting moment of panic that allowed the perceptive Xiaoxiao to instantly perceive it, thus concluding that the person before her was not the real Chu Huaijin, but Shen She, whom she had longed for for so long!
Only that bastard Shen She thinks he's a good person, and only he thinks he's worthy of all the good men in the world, except for him...
"Shen She..." Xiao Xiao murmured the name softly, her hand trembling as she reached out to grasp Chu Huaijin's left hand. However, just as she was about to touch his hand, Chu Huaijin recoiled as if he had been electrocuted.
Tears welled up in the woman's eyes instantly, blurring her beautiful vision. Through her teary eyes, she gazed at Chu Huaijin, her gaze revealing an indescribable sorrow and pain. It was a profound despair, as if the entire world had collapsed at that moment.
Chu Huaijin dared not look Xiaoxiao in the eye. He turned his head away forcefully, afraid that if he looked at her any longer, he would soften his heart. He said coldly, his face tense, "Princess, you seem to have been ill for too long, and your memory may be confused. Lord Shen is no longer alive. I have many official duties to attend to, and I hope Your Highness will not continue to intercept me at the palace gate every day. Such actions not only damage Your Highness's reputation but also hinder my work."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Huaijin turned around without hesitation and strode hurriedly out of the palace. His figure gradually disappeared into the distance, without any sign of stopping or looking back.
Xiao Xiao stood there, stunned, watching the man resolutely leave, tears streaming down her face like a burst dam. Her heart felt like it had been torn into countless pieces, each one bleeding. The mutual support and companionship they had shared in Peach Blossom Village had all vanished like a bubble, leaving only endless pain and loneliness.
At this moment, Chu Yunhe, who was on the high platform, took in all of this.
Those sharp eyes were fixed on the two people below, and his guess about Chu Huaijin's true identity had been confirmed.
However, when he saw his carefully cultivated perfect pawn, Xiaoxiao, heartbroken and in tears because of another man, an unnamed rage rose from the bottom of his heart.
Suddenly, the information that the scout had just gathered flashed through Chu Yunhe's mind. He was slightly taken aback at first, and then, like spring flowers blooming, a bright smile instantly spread across his face.
A slight smile played on his lips, his eyes gleaming with excitement. He then whirled around and, addressing the shadowy guards who lurked in the shadows like phantoms, said in a low voice, "Tonight is the perfect opportunity. Move out now! Remember, you must capture that man alive!"
"Yes!" the guard replied in a low voice. Before he finished speaking, his figure disappeared from Chu Yunhe's sight as quickly as a gust of wind, as if he had never been there at all.
At this moment, Ruyan, who was standing to the side, tilted her head and asked Xiaoxiao, who was also looking bewildered, with a face full of doubt: "Your Highness, what exactly is going on? On such a fine night, instead of spending time with Consort Jiang who is about to give birth, the Emperor has summoned us here in a hurry. What is the matter?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao frowned slightly and lowered her head to think carefully. She secretly calculated the days in her mind and suddenly realized that, according to her memories from her previous life, this moment seemed to be the day she stepped into the palace.
Could it be... today?
Just as Xiao Xiao was lost in thought, a clear and melodious female voice, as beautiful as a lark's song, suddenly came from inside the palace where Chu Yunhe was.
The voice was melodious and lingering, passing through the high palace walls and reaching everyone's ears, arousing their curiosity and making them want to find out what it was.
"Brother, where is this?" The little girl, blindfolded, looked up curiously at her surroundings and asked in a sweet voice, though she couldn't see clearly.
"This is the royal palace."
Chu Yunhe's unique voice drifted from inside the hall. The voice was like a gentle, flowing stream, tender and patient, like a teacher patiently explaining knowledge to a naive child.
"The palace? What kind of place is that?" the little girl asked Chu Yunhe beside her, her face full of doubt, seemingly having no concept of this unfamiliar word.
Chu Yunhe first looked up at Xiao Xiao, who had just walked in, and then turned his gaze back to the little girl, a gentle and doting smile on his lips.
He stretched out his slender, long fingers and gently stroked the little girl's soft hair, patiently explaining, "The palace isn't just any ordinary big house; it's a very, very huge palace! Many, many people live inside—the emperor, empress, concubines, palace maids, and eunuchs. But if someone accidentally moves in, it won't be so easy for them to get out!"
Upon hearing this, the little girl trembled with fear, her face turning deathly pale. She hugged her small frame tightly, her voice trembling as she exclaimed, "Wow! Such a big house, and someone could never find their way out? That's terrifying!"
Children are always outspoken, and their words are often so innocent that they make people laugh. However, at this moment, the little girl's unintentional remark seemed to hit the nail on the head, clearly revealing the reality that everyone present was trapped in the palace and unable to escape.
Some were forced into this power struggle, unable to control their own destiny; while others were scheming, plotting to use this seemingly magnificent but actually deadly palace to achieve their ulterior motives...
