Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan

Xue Zhilan had been waiting in the side hall for quite some time.

Shen Changmin had already made arrangements, and none of the guards on duty today were there; there wasn't even a single light on in the side hall.

Xue Zhilan was standing quite far away, so she couldn't see the two people's faces clearly.

They could only vaguely see a man dressed as a eunuch supporting another richly dressed man who seemed to be very drunk, as they limped toward them.

The richly dressed man stumbled and nearly slipped, prompting a nearby eunuch to exclaim, "Master, slow down!"

Xue Zhilan's heart tightened; he was here!

Despite being a talented woman for so many years, Xue Zhilan still considered herself somewhat arrogant. After all, a woman's chastity was still very important, and she was actually very conflicted about whether or not she should do this.

Looking at myself again, my clothes were loose and I looked just like a prostitute in a brothel.

She thought with some annoyance: I, Xue Zhilan, actually have to sell my body.

But the thought of becoming the Crown Princess makes it all worthwhile!

Xue Xiao is such a vulgar woman; she's only fit to carry her shoes from now on.

Xue Zhilan quickly stepped forward, supported the man who was drunk and destitute, and sternly dismissed the eunuch.

However, the adult male's weight was too heavy and almost crushed Xue Zhilan.

Smelling a familiar magnolia scent, Xue Zhilan didn't pay much attention.

After finally managing to lift the man onto the bed, panting heavily, she blushed in the dark side hall and carefully felt the man's clothes, her fingertips just touching the first button.

Suddenly the man grabbed Xue Zhilan's small hand and placed it on his face. Xue Zhilan felt that the man's face was very hot.

Xue Zhilan blushed slightly as she thought of Shangguan Jingtai's handsome face.

Just as Xue Zhilan's heart was beginning to flutter with romantic feelings, the man seemed to be muttering to himself, but his voice was too soft to hear.

Just as Xue Zhilan was about to lean over to hear what the man was saying, she was pushed onto the bed and her clothes were roughly torn off.

Xue Zhilan thought about how tomorrow she would become a highly respected Crown Princess, and she cried out with joy.

His voice, still not fully recovered, sounded like a vengeful ghost in the pitch-black night.

Lian'er, who hadn't even left the side hall courtyard, felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing that sound and quickly left, muttering to herself, "She looks so self-possessed, yet she's more unrestrained than a prostitute in a brothel. How shameless!"

As the party was drawing to a close, Shen Menglan realized that Xue Zhilan hadn't returned for a long time, and pretended to search for Xue Zhilan among the socialites.

Some kind-hearted women comforted Shen Menglan, telling her not to worry, that Xue Zhilan might have just gotten lost in the palace and would be back soon!

In contrast, Xue Yao sat there as if nothing had happened.

Seeing Xue Yao like this, Shen Menglan not only calmed down, but cried even louder. She wanted everyone to know that Xue Zhilan was missing, and Shangguan Jingtai was also missing.

Gradually, the commotion on Shen Menglan's side grew louder and louder, quickly attracting the attention of Emperor Qixuan, who was seated above.

Emperor Qixuan, seated at the head of the table, frowned and said impatiently, "What's going on below? Why is there such a commotion?"

Zhao Heng squinted his narrow, beady eyes and said, "Your Majesty, it was the Second Miss Xue, the Grand Secretary, who went out for a walk to clear her chest and hasn't returned yet. Madam Xue is just a little worried."

Emperor Qixuan thought of Xue Zhilan on the moon boat, and realized that like mother, like daughter.

Nangong Ze glanced at Shen Menglan with an ambiguous expression, then stood up and said, "I have heard that Northern Qi has always valued etiquette. I wonder what sad thing has happened to this lady that has made her so distressed?"

Nangong Ze's words were clever; on the surface, he was saying that the Northern Qi Dynasty valued etiquette, but the actual meaning was the opposite.

Upon hearing this, Xue Yao and Shen Menglan were so frightened that they broke out in a cold sweat and immediately knelt down.

Emperor Qixuan, however, spoke gently to Shen Menglan below, "Madam Xue, has something troubling you? Why are you so heartbroken?"

Only Zhao Heng, who served him regularly, took this matter very seriously.

Upon hearing this, Shen Menglan immediately beamed with joy, but still feigned a couple of sobs, saying in a tearful voice:

"Your Majesty, my wife and daughter are not feeling well today. They went out for a walk to clear their heads and haven't returned yet!"

Shen Menglan's words today remind people of the Crown Prince who just left.

In the dark, Xue Zhilan was quite beautiful, and Shangguan Jingtai was so drunk before leaving the table that it was hard not to have some thoughts.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qixuan's brow twitched. "You, Shen Menglan, have actually set your sights on my child!"

Emperor Qixuan suppressed his anger, maintaining a calm and composed demeanor. However, it was clear to everyone that the blue veins on Emperor Qixuan's forehead had broken through.

Suddenly, a pair of slender hands grasped Emperor Qixuan's large hand, and the warmth emanating from the palm quickly calmed him down.

Consort Xiao glanced at Shen Menglan, who was kneeling on the ground, and said jokingly, "Madam Xue, please rest assured that Miss Xue's life is safe in this heavily guarded palace!"

Consort Xiao was indeed a favored concubine, enjoying unparalleled favor for over a decade. It seems she had some skill to back it up.

Consort Xiao's few words amused everyone, and they all felt that Shen Menglan was worrying too much.

Emperor Qixuan's expression also softened considerably, and he sent several guards to find the person and bring them back.
