Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan

"A beauty that lasts a thousand years is unparalleled; a fair maiden is pleasing to the eye."

Shen An couldn't believe it was true; that white figure was indeed Xue Xiao.

But upon closer inspection, it does resemble that woman.

It wasn't until Liao Changqing reported to Emperor Qixuan that he had brought Xue Xiao to the capital.

Shen Ancai finally recovered from his shock.

Shen An's eyes and brows were full of smiles. His fiancée should be like this. He really wanted to show those classmates who laughed at him that at least a woman of this appearance and character was worthy of him.

Just as Shen An was feeling smug, he noticed that many talented young people below the stage were eager to make their move, their eyes revealing greed.

Shen An was very familiar with it.

How could his woman be treated like a concubine in a brothel, to be teased and defiled at will? He wished he could go up on stage right now, take Xue Xiao down, and bring her back to his mansion.

Shen An's unbridled gaze fell on Xue Xiao's flawless, snow-white skin, wondering what it would feel like to touch it.

Although the woman was delicate and innocent, her eyes held a calm and composed air. This contradictory combination added a touch of mystery to her already remarkable appearance.

Shen An was extremely looking forward to seeing such a stubborn trumpet creeper writhe in pain beneath him, its tears welling up but unable to fall.

Shen An now wants to marry Xue Xiao into his household immediately and "pamper" her properly.

Upon seeing Xiaoxiao's appearance, which drew everyone's attention, Xue Zhilan gritted her teeth in hatred and wailed in a shrill voice:

"Sister, why are you treating Zhilan like this? Did Zhilan do something wrong? Why would you try to poison me!"

Xue Zhilan's voice was so shrill that it successfully drew the crowd's attention once again.

People seemed to only then realize that the delicate beauty before them was the very person who had harmed this talented woman.

Some women who had long disliked Xue Xiao shouted from below the stage:

"It must be that Miss Xue was jealous of the Second Miss's talent and deliberately poisoned her own sister in front of the Emperor. This is a crime of deceiving the Emperor!"

"Yes, yes! I've never heard of any Miss Xue before. Now it seems she's a wolf in sheep's clothing. How terrifying!"

A murmur of discussion immediately arose from the audience. Lin Heng, seeing the near-chaos below, glanced at the clearly impatient Emperor Qi Xuan and quickly tried to restore order, speaking up to reprimand him:

"Silence! Xue Xiao of the Xue family, do you plead guilty?"

Xiao Xiao looked up at the building and met Lin Heng's scrutinizing gaze: "May I ask, Lord Lin, what crime has Xue Xiao committed?"

Lin Heng's sharp eyes widened in surprise. This beauty was indeed courageous, but her composure in this situation seemed somewhat deliberate.

Lin Heng raised his voice and his expression became serious. "Miss Xue's maid has just confessed that you bribed her to poison her mistress's tea."

Xiao Xiao glanced at Zi'er, who was kneeling and trembling to the side, and said humbly, "Since I was the one who poisoned her, I beg you, sir, may I ask Zi'er a few questions?"

"This……"

Lin Heng glanced at Emperor Qixuan, seeking his opinion.

Emperor Qixuan also became interested and sat up straight.

Lin Heng understood: "Granted."

"Zi'er, I ask you. How much silver did I pay to bribe you? Where did you buy the poison? How much silver did you pay for the poison? And when did you poison it?"

Xiao Xiao asked a series of questions.

Zi'er panicked, glanced at Liu Shanshan's threatening gaze, and casually made up a story:

“The young lady bribed me with ten taels of silver. She bought the poison at the Qiaoque Tower, spending five taels of silver. I poisoned her just as she was about to go on stage. Every word I have said is true. I hope Your Majesty will see the truth.”

Qiaoquelou is the largest pharmacy in the capital, with all kinds of medicinal herbs available. Zi'er's choice to buy medicine there was a very clever move.

Liu Shanshan looked at Zi'er with satisfaction, but Zi'er dared not look at her.

Xiao Xiao bowed to Emperor Qi Xuan upstairs and continued, "May I humbly request Your Majesty to lend me the imperial physician?"

At this moment, Xue Zhilan was prostrate on the ground, trembling with anger. "Xue Xiao, what tricks are you playing now? Zi'er has already told you everything! Why won't you confess?"

Emperor Qixuan hadn't seen a child remain calm in the face of danger for a long time, so he wanted to know if someone really wanted to harm her. "Imperial Physician Lin, you may leave."

"Yes!" Physician Lin replied and withdrew.

Xiao Xiao handed the water cup she had put away to Physician Lin and said, "Please examine this water cup carefully to see what kind of poison has been added to it?"

He then asked Xue Zhilan again to confirm, "Xue Zhilan, is this your drinking cup?"

Xue Zhilan was almost driven mad, but the guards held her down and she couldn't move. All she could do was curse in her shrill voice, "It's this teacup! Xue Xiao, you bitch! I'll make you wish you were dead!"

Xiao Xiao smiled without saying a word, because the slap in the face often comes after the cannon fodder's impotent rage.

After Physician Lin finished his examination, he respectfully reported to the Emperor:

"There is poison in the cup! It's called poisonous blood. This poison is colorless and odorless. Although it won't kill you, it can suddenly destroy your voice. If someone poisoned by this wants to restore their voice to its original state, it will be extremely difficult."

The audience was in an uproar.

Just as everyone was engrossed in the matter, Xiaoxiao seized the opportunity and quickly drew a snake-shaped totem on the pillar facing the private room on the second floor.

Shangguan Jingtai, who had been watching Xiaoxiao closely from the second floor, also saw her actions. He frowned as he looked at the totem with a complicated expression.

Physician Lin continued respectfully to Emperor Qixuan, reporting, "From this perspective, Miss Xue is innocent."

After a moment of stunned silence, Xue Zhilan persisted, saying:

"This is impossible! They must have bribed this imperial physician! It must be like this! Your Majesty, you must do justice for me!"

Emperor Qixuan looked down at Xue Zhilan, who was almost insane, with impatience and a deep sense of ruthlessness in his eyes.

Looking at Xue Zhilan like this, Imperial Physician Lin angrily said:

"I, Lin, may not be a medical expert, but I am upright and honest, and I would never do anything illegal."

Physician Lin was a famous imperial physician in the capital, and he was upright and incorruptible. Xue Zhilan's use of Physician Lin as a pretext was simply utterly foolish.

Xiao Xiao looked coldly at Xue Zhilan, "This Zi'er is lying! She said I spent a total of ten taels of silver, but do you know how many taels of silver this poison blood costs?"

Xiao Xiao's piercing gaze fell on Zi'er, whose body trembled as she lay on the ground.

"This poisonous blood costs a full one hundred taels of silver, and you're saying you can buy it for ten taels? Are you trying to deceive the Emperor by saying he can't count?"

Zi'er hurriedly said, "No, I didn't, it's not true."

"And she's quite the eloquent one, even bringing up herself," Emperor Qixuan narrowed his eyes.

"And you said you put the poison into the tea before my sister went on stage, but this poisonous blood needs to dissolve in water for an hour before it takes effect. You were serving the tea, which took an hour?"

Zi'er broke out in a cold sweat as Xiao Xiao questioned her; she knew she was doomed.

Even if she survives by chance, the second young lady will not let her go, which will implicate her family, whose indentures are still in the young lady's hands.

Zi'er glanced at Liu Shanshan, who had a cold expression, with despair, and then laughed wildly with realization: "It was me, I did it all! I resented the Second Miss's beauty! So I stole the Miss's money to buy poison. I poisoned the Second Miss."

After Zi'er finished speaking, she took advantage of the guards' inattention, broke free from her restraints, and smashed her head against a pillar, splattering blood on the spot. She died with her eyes wide open, unable to rest in peace.

Xiao Xiao was stunned. She hadn't expected this outcome. She thought Zi'er would expose Liu Shanshan's lies, but it seemed that Liu Shanshan was much more difficult to deal with than she had imagined.

Lin Heng frowned, pinched his nose, and looked at Zi'er's corpse with disgust, saying, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and go clean up, so as not to disturb the Emperor's peace!"

Soon, Zi'er's body was dragged away, and the bloodstains on the ground were cleaned up.

Another vibrant life has passed away, and no one cares. This serves as a stark reminder to Xiaoxiao that she lives in an ancient world devoid of human rights, and a single misstep could lead to utter ruin.
