Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan

Following behind Emperor Qixuan and his entourage were people dressed in foreign attire.

The man in the lead wore a blue fur coat, a gold belt around his waist, and black boots with gold patterns on them.

His icy blue eyes were both passionate and indifferent.

This person must be Nangong Ze, the fourth prince of Southern Xinjiang.

Everyone took their seats, and the party officially began.

Emperor Qixuan sat on the dragon throne in the main hall, flanked by Empress Shunde Yu Nianjiao and Consort Xiao Shu, while Nangong Ze sat in the highest position on the right.

Nangong Ze leaned lazily against the couch, his icy blue starry eyes sweeping across the room with a single glance, causing the many noble ladies present to blush and their hearts to race.

His icy blue eyes quickly locked onto Liu Shanshan, who kept glancing in his direction. A chilling smile curved his lips as he lowered his long eyelashes and raised his wine glass to savor it.

Halfway through the banquet, Shangguan Jingtai became somewhat drunk and was helped by the palace guards to rest at the temporary palace.

After seeing Shangguan Jingtai being helped away, Xue Zhilan also lied and said she was feeling unwell, and quickly left her seat.

At this moment, Yu Li, who was standing next to Shangguan Jingtai, suddenly stood up and walked to Shen An's table.

Raising his wine cup to Shen An, he said, "I have long admired your name, Brother Shen. It is an honor to meet you today! I, the young master, would like to offer you a toast. Please do not refuse, Brother Shen!"

When Shen An saw Yu Li, he actually ran over and personally toasted her.

This young prince is the Empress's nephew and the Crown Prince's cousin, so his status is naturally noble. Instantly, his vanity exploded, and he picked up his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp without saying a word.

Shen An usually doesn't drink much, and this wine was so strong that it made him cough several times and his face turned bright red.

After watching Shen An down the wine in one gulp, Yu Li smiled and glanced at Xue Xiao, who stood to the side with a cold expression, saying meaningfully, "Brother Shen is a lucky man!"

Shen An's expression changed, and he said with an awkward smile, "Your Highness is too kind."

After Yu Li left, Shen An was unable to calm down.

This young prince is a notorious playboy. It seems that Yu Li has taken a fancy to Xue Xiao, which is why she came to talk to him.

I never imagined he would stoop so low as to rely on women to gain the appreciation of others.

Thinking of this, Shen An glanced at Xue Xiao, whom he had just thought was as beautiful as an angel, with disgust. He felt a tightness in his chest and wanted to go out for some fresh air, so he left his seat.

Yu Li returned to her seat and gave Xiao Xiao a meaningful smile.

Xiao Xiao also noticed the subtle scrutiny, turned her head to look in the direction where "Shangguan Jingtai" was carried away, and frowned slightly.

As soon as Xiaoxiao learned of this, she immediately marked it in a conspicuous place in the palace with a code. The ever-cautious Shangguan Jingtai should not have missed it.

"We are all colleagues, you are too kind."

Yu Li's voice came from afar.

The man held a wine glass in his left hand, a slight smile on his face, as he toasted and exchanged drinks with the officials who came and went.

On his well-defined hands, a dark green jade thumb ring with subtle patterns stood out prominently.

Xiao Xiao was not far from Yu Li, and could just see the pattern on the jade thumb ring, which was a wolf-shaped totem.

Xiao Xiao smiled knowingly. It turned out that Shangguan Jingtai had pulled off a clever switch, reversing his and Yu Li's identities.

……

Shen An wandered aimlessly, feeling agitated. As the alcohol took effect, he quickly became dizzy.

Shen An had no idea where he was at that moment.

His head was throbbing, and when he saw the young eunuch suddenly emerge from the guard post, he immediately snapped, "Hey! You, come here! Take me to rest for a bit!"

Lian'er frowned in disgust as she looked at Shen An, who was already drunk and somewhat incoherent.

He raised his voice and stepped forward to help Shen An, saying, "Alright! Sir! Where would you like to rest?"

"Which place is the nearest to you? That's where I'll go," Shen Anyi ordered.

“The closest one to us is the side hall!” Lian’er continued.

Shen An was already a little confused, and mumbled, "Okay, let's go there!"

Lian'er thought to herself: Doesn't she know her place? How dare someone of her status enter the side hall?

Shen An speaks like a spoiled brat; he's just been pampered.

Lian'er supported the unconscious Shen An as they walked towards the imperial palace.

On the other side of the road leading to the imperial palace, Shangguan Jingtai was being helped by a young eunuch to walk towards a side hall that was getting further and further away.

Meanwhile, Shangguan Jingtai, who was pretending to be drunk, immediately subdued the little eunuch and brought him to the ground.

He demanded sharply, "Who sent you? What do you want?"

The young eunuch, pinned to the ground by "Shangguan Jingtai," hurriedly replied, "Your Highness, I'm new here and not familiar with the way. That's why I went the wrong way!"

Shangguan Jingtai suddenly smelled a pungent odor, but by the time he realized something was amiss, it was too late.

In less than a quarter of an hour, he became dizzy, his limbs went weak, he lost all strength, and he collapsed to the ground unconscious.

The young eunuch struggled to his feet, dusted himself off, and said, "Luckily, that old fox, Minister Shen, had a backup plan, otherwise we really wouldn't have been able to handle it."

The young eunuch breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his aching shoulder, and cursed under his breath:

"So what if he's a prince? What's so great about him? If you break me, can you afford to pay for it?" As he spoke, he didn't forget to give the unconscious Shangguan Jingtai a couple more kicks.

Then, with great effort, he lifted up Shangguan Jingtai, who had already fainted.

But before they had taken more than a few steps, they bumped into someone. The little eunuch cursed, "Who's blind? Are you blind?!"

I was met head-on by a pair of narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes.

"Your Highness! How did you get here?" The little eunuch looked at the person with the exact same face next to him and was so frightened that he was incoherent.

A cold smile curved Shangguan Jingtai's lips as he spoke, a strange red light flashing in his eyes:

"A dark and windy night, perfect for killing someone!"

The young eunuch, upon seeing Shangguan Jingtai, who now appeared like a ghost, was so frightened that he fell to the ground and retreated repeatedly, scrambling and crawling as he tried to escape.

Shangguan Jingtai leaped forward and struck the little eunuch hard on the neck, causing him to immediately collapse to the ground unconscious.

Without realizing it, his hand pressed against the man's throat, and with a slight exertion, the little eunuch's face turned from white to purple.

"Your Highness, spare their lives!"

At this moment, Xiao Xiao walked out from the shadows. Her eyes, as clear as autumn water, shimmered faintly in the moonlight, so captivating. But the more captivating something is, the more dangerous it is.

Shangguan Jingtai narrowed his eyes. "You're quite clever. You actually saw through my trick."

"Your Highness is too kind. But wouldn't it be pointless for Your Highness to kill them here?"

"It's just someone else's pawn, what's the big deal?"

Shangguan Jingtai, unconcerned, tightened his grip on the eunuch's neck again, his eyes filled with malice. Tonight, Shangguan Jingtai was nothing like his usual refined and elegant self; on the contrary, he exuded a murderous aura that chilled people to the bone.

“Since it’s a chess piece, we should naturally maximize its value, shouldn’t we?” Xiao Xiao knew that Shangguan Jingtai hated the dirty collusion in the backyard the most, and would definitely eliminate it once he found out. So she had to offer something more attractive as soon as possible.

Shangguan Jingtai was surprised that the little girl had grown so much in just a few days. She was able to remain calm in the face of danger. He recalled what had happened to the little girl before.

Shangguan Jingtai couldn't help but empathize, as they were in the same situation, yet the latter was much calmer than him when faced with similar events.

Perhaps she has a better way.

Shangguan Jingtai subconsciously chose to believe this ally he had met once before, after all, the other party had just helped him.

"I'm entrusting the person to you; consider it a return gift for helping me this time."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Xiao Xiao didn't stand on ceremony and immediately ordered someone to take the little eunuch away.

Seeing this, Shangguan Jingtai followed.
