Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan

Lin Heng could tell that Emperor Qixuan was very interested in the beautiful young woman downstairs named Xue Xiao. He thought that the emperor had been busy with state affairs in recent years and had not taken in any new women in the harem, and Xiao Xiao was so beautiful.

Could it be?

Lin Heng walked up behind Emperor Qixuan and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, this old servant thinks that this Miss Xue is indeed intelligent, perhaps..."

Emperor Qixuan looked at Lin Heng and laughed, "You old fox! Forget it, I'm old enough to be someone's father!"

As he spoke, Emperor Qixuan glanced downstairs at Xue Xiao, who was about to leave.

Lin Heng was startled: "This old servant has overstepped his bounds!"

Xue Zhilan was helped off the stage by guards, completely stunned, muttering to herself:

"Impossible, this is impossible."

The dinner continued as scheduled.

When Emperor Qixuan heard that Xue Xiao's performance was still to come, he suddenly became excited about what the banquet would be like. He sat up straight again and watched the performance with great interest.

Just then, it was Liu Shanshan's turn to perform. The people below the stage quickly recovered from their shock and looked at the stage with little interest.

As the musicians' music began, Liu Shanshan, dressed in a scarlet dance costume, with peacock feathers in her hair, a long veil covering her face, and silver bracelets on her bare feet, swayed and danced to the rhythm.

Her dance was like a dream.

Her joints were as flexible as a snake, able to twist and turn freely.

The silver bracelet on her hand vibrated as she moved. She was completely unpretentious; every movement was natural and fluid, like a white lotus emerging from the water.

As the music ended, the veil slipped off Liu Shanshan's face, revealing a face of unparalleled beauty.

In the past, Liu Shanshan's unique dance would have surely pleased Emperor Qixuan, but clearly today Emperor Qixuan's attention was still on what lay behind him.

"As usual, reward them." Emperor Qixuan waved his hand, sending Lin Heng to chase away Liu Shanshan, who was kneeling on the platform and refusing to leave.

Lin Heng acknowledged and withdrew.

Liu Shanshan was receiving enthusiastic cheers from the audience, her heart pounding with excitement.

Soon, Eunuch Lin, who was by Emperor Qixuan's side, stepped onto the stage and coldly said to Liu Shanshan, "Princess, receive the imperial decree!"

Liu Shanshan quickly pretended to be very surprised and humble in order to accept this unchanging reward over the years.

In his distinctively shrill voice, Eunuch Lin slowly began to speak:

The Emperor decreed: "The Princess is virtuous and kind, and her dance was exceptional. She is hereby awarded a jade ruyi and one hundred taels of gold. So be it."

Liu Shanshan was overjoyed. The Emperor treated her so differently. This future Empress of the Crown Prince would only be hers to possess.

Liu Shanshan was so pleased with herself that she forgot to thank him for his kindness.

Eunuch Lin's expression darkened. Had he become so smug?

He was really not in the same league as Miss Xue. He coughed lightly and said, "Aren't you going to thank her?"

Liu Shanshan realized she had forgotten her bounds and quickly thanked the emperor, saying, "Thank you for your great kindness!" and knelt on the ground.

Eunuch Lin snorted and turned to leave.

Liu Shanshan saw that Eunuch Lin did not treat her well because she had received the Emperor's reward, and even embarrassed her in public.

He thought to himself with resentment: You eunuch, wait until I rise to prominence and I'll make you pay!

Meanwhile, on the other side of the ship, two eunuchs were carrying Zi'er's body, one in front of the other, towards the stern.

One of the eunuchs, trembling, carried Zi'er's body. He inadvertently caught sight of Zi'er's unseeing eyes and was so frightened that he slipped, lost his grip, and threw Zi'er's body away.

The young eunuch in front was caught off guard and was thrown forward violently by the sudden force of the impact.

Zi'er's corpse lay directly on top of him, the bloodstains on her forehead instantly staining his outer robe.

The eunuch who had been hit struggled to push the corpse aside and get up, cursing, "Er Gouzi, do you want to die?! Can't you watch where you're going? What bad luck!" He cursed as he frantically wiped away the bloodstains.

"She, she, she."

The little eunuch called Er Gouzi pointed at Zi'er's wide-open eyes, speaking incoherently in fear.

"What? You're so scared you wet your pants? If you were working in the Muyun Palace, you'd be scared to death!"

Another eunuch looked at him with disdain; this was the eunuch called Er Gouzi.

"Brother Fang, isn't Consort Xiao the most kind-hearted and magnanimous empress? What's wrong?"

Before Er Gouzi could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the little eunuch called Brother Fang:

"That was 10 years ago! The current Empress! Sigh! The former Empress was a living Bodhisattva in heaven, but the current one is a living Yama from hell!"

Seemingly remembering something, the young eunuch immediately said sternly, "You can't say things like that! Be careful, or we'll lose our heads!"

Er Gouzi covered his mouth in terror and nodded vigorously.

Just then, a "plop" was heard not far ahead, as if something heavy had fallen into the lake.

The two immediately perked up. Fang Ge tried to remain calm and said tremblingly:

"Who dares to cause trouble here? State your name immediately!"

A burly man emerged from the shadows, dressed as a guard, seemingly a personal bodyguard of some lady in the inner quarters. He stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and said:

"I was unaware that two esteemed officials from the palace were here. I apologize for disturbing you!"

Fang Ge was so flattered by this person that he felt a little dizzy. His face, which had been tense with nervousness, relaxed as he said:

"The banquet is in full swing, why aren't you in the cabin? I think I just heard something being thrown into the lake!"

"Your Excellency, it was a pet cat belonging to one of my concubines. It was spoiled rotten and didn't treat her well. Today, it even scratched the First Madam, so she had it dealt with," the man replied.

"Oh! I see. Now that you've dealt with the cold and damp stern, you should leave quickly!"

"Yes!" The man left.

"Brother Fang, that sound just now clearly sounded like something much heavier was thrown!" Er Gouzi asked Brother Fang, puzzled.

"Every family in the backyard has its share of dirty business. We can't worry about that. Let's finish this job quickly; this place is weirdly eerie," Brother Fang urged.

After dealing with Zi'er's body, the two hurriedly left the stern of the boat.

At this moment, a ribbon, often used by dancers, floated on the lake.

Upstairs, Shangguan Jingtai also keenly noticed several furtive figures in the crowd.

He immediately notified the Imperial Guards through his secret guards, in case of any unforeseen circumstances.
