Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan

next morning

Jiang Wanning carefully carried her round belly, holding a plate of delicate chestnut cakes steadily in both hands, and walked unsteadily toward Cang Ling's residence.

It should be noted that in this era, once a wife becomes pregnant, out of consideration and care for her husband, she will often take the initiative to find several gentle and considerate people to take care of his daily life.

Jiang Wanning had mentioned this matter tactfully several times before, but each time Chu Yunhe declined on the grounds that he was too busy with official duties.

Jiang Wanning secretly felt how fortunate she was to have such a sincere husband.

However, just yesterday, she heard some astonishing news—Chu Yunhe had brought back a little girl from a remote and quiet town!

This news struck Jiang Wanning, who was already extremely sensitive and vulnerable, like a bolt from the blue.

She could hardly imagine what kind of stunning beauty, hidden deep within that small courtyard called Yazhi, could make Chu Yunhe, who always valued etiquette, completely disregard worldly manners and even personally and meticulously tie up her hair.

Filled with doubt and unease, Jiang Wanning finally arrived at the gate of Cangling's courtyard.

Her maid stepped forward and gently knocked on the courtyard gate. After a short while, the gate slowly opened, and a round-faced, unfamiliar-looking little girl appeared before everyone.

This young girl must have been new to the palace. Not only did she look unfamiliar, but her manners were also quite coarse. Clearly, she had been randomly selected to serve as a maid in the palace without going through a rigorous selection process.

The young girl frowned slightly and asked in a stiff tone, "Who are you looking for? What do you want?"

They were so impatient, afraid of neglecting the person inside the house.

Jiang Wan Ning watched calmly, her face smiling gently, but inwardly she was slightly disdainful. Serving someone with one's looks would not last long. Seeing a servant as if he were one's master, she thought the person inside was probably just a pretty face with no substance, nothing to be afraid of.

As Jiang Wan Ning pondered how to give the people inside a severe warning, a familiar figure suddenly appeared outside without warning.

The person who arrived was none other than Chu Yunhe!

His handsome face looked no different than usual, still bearing a warm smile like a spring breeze, but the words he spoke carried a hint of reproach: "Wan Ning actually came too? Look at your frail body now, how can you still not take care of yourself, why get up so early?"

Chu Yunhe frowned slightly, his expression instantly turning displeased. He turned his gaze to Jiang Wanning's maids standing to the side, feigning anger as he rebuked them, "You servants, don't you know how to properly advise your mistress? She's already frail and sickly, and needs proper rest and recuperation. How can you let her act so willfully and recklessly!"

The maids had never seen the usually gentle and amiable Emperor suddenly fly into a rage over such a trivial matter as the Imperial Concubine getting up early. They were immediately terrified and their faces turned pale. They all hurriedly knelt down with a thud, begging for forgiveness, "Your Majesty, please calm down! It was all our fault for not taking good care of you. We will never dare to do it again. Please forgive us!"

However, seeing Chu Yunhe's attentive and considerate care, Jiang Wanning's initial worries dissipated considerably. She hurriedly stepped forward, gently tugged at Chu Yunhe's sleeve, and softly said, "Your Majesty, please don't blame them. This was entirely my own will; I insisted on getting up early. It has nothing to do with them." With that, she gazed at Chu Yunhe with tender affection in her beautiful eyes.

Jiang Wanning slightly raised her eyes, her gaze sweeping lightly over the little girl in the room who was still glaring at her with no attempt to hide it, a faint mocking smile appearing on her lips.

Then, she parted her lips slightly and said softly, "Now that I am six months pregnant, it is really inconvenient for me to serve Your Majesty. Last night, I happened to hear that a new sister has arrived in the palace. I was in such a hurry that I did not have time to carefully prepare a gift for her, so I thought I would make some chestnut cakes by hand and send them over to express my feelings." After speaking, she turned her head slightly and gestured to the maid beside her to hand over the exquisite food box.

Standing to the side, Chu Yunhe followed Jiang Wanning's movements and looked down at the food box. He had already roughly guessed Jiang Wanning's true intention for coming here, but he did not show it on his face. He just smiled slightly and replied in a calm tone, "My dear consort, there is no need for you to go to such trouble."

Upon hearing Chu Yunhe's words, Jiang Wanning hesitated for a moment, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't. After a brief pause, she spoke softly, "But... I feel that I should still do my part, however small."

However, before Jiang Wanning could finish speaking, Chu Yunhe interrupted her.

Chu Yunhe took a small step forward, getting closer to Jiang Wanning, his eyes full of tenderness, and said softly, "My beloved consort, there is no need to worry. She is my cousin's sister, and by right and wrong, she is my sister. My beloved consort does not need to go to great lengths to please her. In this vast harem, all I desire is for my beloved consort to stay by my side."

A promise from you is worth more than a thousand words.

"I was overthinking it." Jiang Wanning nodded slightly, her cheeks instantly flushing a faint blush. Her shy yet slightly embarrassed appearance made people feel a sense of pity for her.

Chu Yunhe took in all of this, and a tender feeling welled up in his heart.

He realized that he had been too eager to pursue personal gain lately, which had caused him to overlook Jiang Wanning's predicament and feelings. Thinking of this, his gaze softened.

Chu Yunhe gently extended his right hand, his movements so delicate as if afraid of disturbing the beautiful woman before him, and slowly took Jiang Wanning's slender hand in his. He said softly, "I will go in with you." Though his words were brief, the concern he conveyed was evident.

At this moment, Chu Yunhe still cherishes Jiang Wanning, his benefactor...
