Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

"Who cares why they put us in the middle? We can't let the Ming Dynasty lose face," after all, we'll basically be enemies of the Ming Dynasty from now on.

Although Li Yinyin had traveled by carriage, she was quite tired, so she told Jing Qing and Dongfang He to go and rest. As for the Golden Crow Guards who had come with her, they all stayed in the main house with her.

“Your Highness,” Xiao Fu said, not following the others out but instead taking the task of removing Li Yinyin’s hairpins, “that envoy from Jiang Kingdom is someone I know.”

An acquaintance of Jiang Guo?

Li Yinyin thought for a moment: "Is it Mu Xianyun?"

Although Li Yinyin could be considered an acquaintance of Yin Hong in the Jiang Kingdom's court, Xiao Fu only had some impression of Mu Xianyun's former identity as a resident of Shangshui Village, so when she said he was an acquaintance, she didn't mean anything else.

“Yes,” Xiao Fu nodded, “It is said that Mu Xianyun became the top scholar in the Jiang Kingdom, so he was highly valued by the emperor and served as the envoy to the Western Regions this time.”

"He's quite something," Li Yinyin said, and then stopped thinking about it.

After a day of rest, Li Yinyin went to the Western Regions Royal Palace to see the princess as planned.

The princess met her in the courtyard. She was very approachable and even expressed her intention to become good friends with Li Yinyin.

Li Yinyin naturally did not refuse, and even though it was just acting, she portrayed the feeling of instant kinship with her.

Both were satisfied.

After leaving the Western Regions Royal Palace, Li Yinyin saw that it was still early, so she planned to go back and change her clothes before going out for a stroll and also to check out her family's fabric shop in the Western Regions.

Her carriage traveled all the way to the front of her residence. As she disembarked, the gate on the left opened, and Mu Xianyun appeared at the entrance, walking out.

"Sister Yinyin?" Mu Xianyun was taken aback to see him here and stood there stunned.

"Be bold!"

The Golden Crow Guards gathered around Li Yinyin, glaring angrily at Mu Xianyun.

Li Yinyin gestured for them to leave, then nodded to Mu Xianyun: "It's been a while. I heard you became the top scholar in the imperial examination. Congratulations!"

"Thank you, Miss Yin... Miss Li," Mu Xianyun finally changed his form of address.

He glanced at the Ming courtyard and asked, "Miss Li, are you going to visit the Ming envoy?"

Li Yinyin glanced at him, her expression indifferent: "This has nothing to do with Lord Mu, does it?"

“You’re right,” Mu Xianyun suddenly realized that once they left Shangshui Village, he seemed to have nothing to talk about with Li Yinyin, and fell silent for a moment.

Li Yinyin didn't bother to say anything nice to him and immediately led the person inside.

After the courtyard gate closed, another envoy from the Jiang Kingdom arrived late: "Lord Mu, you have been waiting for a long time."

Seeing that Mu Xianyun was staring at the gate of the Ming Kingdom, he said, "I didn't expect that the Ming Kingdom, which has only been established for two or three years, has such a good relationship with the Western Regions. They only arrived yesterday, and today they have already been received by the princess of the Western Regions."

"However, I heard that the Ming emperor has no children, only a younger sister whom he dotes on. He not only bestowed upon her a title of princess, but also made her the Marquis of Zhenguo, despite her being a woman."

"They are all powerful and influential women in their own countries, so it's no wonder that the princess of the Western Regions values ​​the Ming envoy."

Previously, Mu Xianyun had never connected the Li family of Shangshui Village with the Ming Dynasty. But now, first, he met Li Yinyin outside the Ming residence, and then the information revealed by the Jiang envoy—one thing after another—matched Li Chengming and Li Yinyin. Most importantly, he had no connection with the Ming Dynasty in his previous life; the chaos in the Western Border had continued even in the year he died.

Mu Xianyun suddenly felt inexplicably frustrated. After his rebirth, he passed the imperial examinations with top honors, gained the support of the Emperor of Jiang, upheld imperial power, and caused trouble for the Yin family. He thought he had done enough, but compared to Li Chengming, he was far inferior.

He quickly thought of Xi Jiangyue, who was still entangled with Yin Hong, and felt almost no emotion. By now, the whole capital must know that Xi Jiangyue, as his wife, had been having an affair with Yin Hong without any proper matchmaker.

Li Yinyin hadn't specifically inquired about what Mu Xianyun had done in Jiangguo, which is why she was so surprised when the news reached her.

"What did you say?" Li Yinyin looked at Xiao Fu, who had come excitedly to share gossip with her, her mind in complete turmoil.

What does it mean that Mu Xianyun and Xi Jiangyue received an imperial decree not long after their marriage, and were sent on a mission to the Western Regions? Then, his wife and Yin Hong, the second son of the Yin family, were openly entangled in the street and were recognized. Later, they were caught in the act of adultery without a matchmaker in a dilapidated temple in the mountains by noble ladies who were passing by on their way to another temple to offer incense.

What happened to the male and female leads being so radiant that no one else could see them?

Li Yinyin hadn't forgotten how everyone in Shangshui Village used to ignore Yin Hong and Xi Jiangyue back then!

and many more.

Li Yinyin suddenly grasped a key point: Mu Xianyun and Xi Jiangyue got married?

She rummaged through her luggage and pulled out the newly made amethyst horoscope chart. After her fingers flew across the chart, she discovered that Xi Jiangyue and Yin Hong's horoscopes had actually changed.

In contrast to them is Mu Xianyun. Although his destiny remains that of a powerful minister second only to the emperor, it seems to be quite different from before.

"Your Highness?" Xiao Fu saw Li Yinyin quickly finish fiddling with the horoscope and then sit there in a daze, so she couldn't help but call out, "Did you foresee some danger?"

“I’m just confused,” Li Yinyin didn’t explain in detail, but asked instead, “How many more days until we can return to Ming?”

Xiao Fu calculated the days: "Tomorrow is the official ceremony. We'll say goodbye immediately after it's over, otherwise we'll be able to go back in a short time. But it will probably take some time to get to the capital."

After pondering for a moment, Li Yinyin said, "After saying goodbye, I will ride directly back to the capital. The others can travel at a slower pace."

Xiao Fu knew that she must have something to attend to and needed to rush back to the capital, so she readily agreed: "I will also tell the sisters of the Golden Crow Guard so that they can prepare."

The Queen of the Western Regions was somewhat disappointed that Li Yinyin was in such a hurry to leave, but she didn't insist on keeping her. She simply said that if there was an opportunity in the future, she would like to invite Li Yinyin to visit the Western Regions often.

After exchanging a few polite words with her, Li Yinyin left the palace. After changing her clothes, Li Yinyin led the Golden Crow Guards directly away from the Western Regions.

When Mu Xianyun came out of the palace, intending to use the excuse of saying goodbye to find her, he learned that Li Yinyin had already left.

Seeing Mu Xianyun's stunned expression, Jing Qing and Dongfang He exchanged a glance, both becoming somewhat wary.

A man from another country dares to make a move on His Highness; this is absolutely unacceptable!
