Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

"Of course," the Queen told Yin Yin how to enter and exit the castle, then asked, "Should I take you there now?"

Yinyin wanted to go, but she suppressed her impulse.

Disappearing suddenly from this world or returning unexpectedly after a period of time can easily arouse suspicion.

While it's not impossible to get away with it, it's better to be cautious.

Moreover, at this moment, Yin Yin felt a sense of trepidation, as if she were returning home, and she was not very willing to go see her teacher immediately.

Seeing her unusual indecisiveness, the Empress didn't laugh at her, but said, "It's good that you know what you're doing."

"Thank you, elder sister," Yin Yin wanted to say a few more sweet words, but then she heard someone come in to report.

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Anle requests an audience."

Upon hearing this, Yin Yin got up to leave, but the Empress stopped her: "Why are you leaving? Can't you stand it anymore?"

“Of course I can see him,” Yinyin continued, “but I have no memories of my past, and I don’t know Marquis Anle in this life. It would be so awkward to see him.”

“What does it matter if we don’t know each other?” the Queen told her to sit down again. “Now you don’t know him, and he doesn’t know you. But you are born as a human being, and your lifespan will eventually come to an end, while he doesn’t know how long he will live.”

"When his soul departs, knowing that he has seen you may not be a bad comfort."

Yinyin asked curiously, "Sister, what happened to me in the future?"

"Nothing much," the Empress refused to reveal a single detail about this matter. "If you can calculate it, Ruoyin, you can naturally know the future. If you can't calculate it, it's not a bad thing."

As the two were talking, a palace servant led Marquis Anle in.

Marquis Anle was tall and composed. Although he had endured much hardship on the frontier, his face remained handsome, only now bearing an added air of fortitude. While the years had left their mark on his face, they had also imbued him with a more commanding presence. Just by looking at him, Yin Yin knew he was an outstanding soldier.

"Your humble servant greets Your Majesty and Your Highness the Eldest Princess."

"No need for formalities," the Empress said, "What important matter brings Marquis Anle to the palace today?"

Marquis Anle looked at Yinyin beside him, but couldn't quite bring himself to say what he had prepared.

Only after the Empress showed signs of impatience did he say, "The hibiscus on my estate is in bloom. I remember Your Majesty loved this flower very much in the past, so I would like to invite Your Majesty to admire it together."

The Empress lowered her eyelids: "The Marquis of Anle also said that it was in the past. Now I love the magnificence of peonies, the elegance of lotus flowers, and the passion of phoenix flowers. As for hibiscus, there are places to appreciate it in the palace gardens. There is no need to go to your villa."

Marquis Anle seemed to have been prepared for the Empress's refusal and did not feel regret. He then brought up a few other matters of court before taking his leave.

After he left, the Empress looked at Yin Yin and asked, "Do you think I should accept his invitation?"

“Sister, if you want to go, then go; if you don’t want to go, then don’t worry about it,” Yin Yin carefully chose her words. “When it comes to feelings, only the person drinking the water knows whether it’s hot or cold. My opinion doesn’t count; it’s up to you, sister, to decide.”

The empress shooed her away, saying, "Then go play by yourself. I'll think about it some more."

As the empress spoke, she suddenly became angry again: "In the end, people's hearts are all base, he is, and so am I."

She could say those words, but Yin Yin couldn't comment on them. But as Yin Yin was about to get up and leave, the Empress called her back once again.

Yinyin suddenly laughed: "Sister, do you want me to leave, or do you not want me to leave?"

The Queen said somewhat awkwardly, "Anyway, you haven't left yet, so whether you miss me or not doesn't matter."

"The hibiscus flowers are in bloom, aren't they? Since he can't enjoy them, there's no need for that. You can come with me to the palace garden."

Yinyin readily agreed and had paints prepared so she could paint a picture as a keepsake.

After the painting was completed, the Empress liked it very much and insisted on keeping it for herself, so Yin Yin had no choice but to comply.

A year passed in the blink of an eye, and the players finally found an opportunity to bring Marquis Anle to the verification point.

However, as expected, the verification result was unsuccessful.

Players collectively broke down their defenses.

After the defenses were breached, the players collectively gave up.

Those like Bai Shiyi and Lao Pang, who are living contented lives, even have the idea of ​​stopping time so they can live out their days in this world.

After all, they live a really good life and don't have to worry about anything. But if they leave here and enter other instances of Zero, who knows what the situation will be like? Maybe even a battle royale.

So much so that Old Fatty exclaimed, "This is what life is all about!"

That being said, they still trained hard with Xie Yong and Yan'er. It was uncertain when they would leave, and people still needed to have a proper sense of urgency.

The players realized something was wrong because one of them had been tricked by a dishonest boss who used wordplay while working. Then it suddenly occurred to them that since they hadn't found anything correct after searching so many places, could it be that there was a problem with the quest?

The task was to find the "Empress Dowager's treasures," but the Empress Dowager is now the Empress, and the task has not changed to "the Empress's treasures." So even if they find the right treasures, they will not be able to verify the results in the end.

The players felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck them from a clear sky, leaving them completely numb.

The fat man muttered, "If this conjecture is true, then I was actually watching the excitement of the Empress's coronation!"

Bai Shiyi added, "I want to go back and slap my past self to wake her up."

Even the usually composed Yan'er was somewhat stunned: "Don't say anything, I was there at the time."

As for Xie Yong, he fell silent when he thought of the abnormal reaction at the verification point when Yin Yin was being verified.

He left the others behind and quietly went to Chang Le Palace.

Yinyin was reading a book and eating snacks at the moment. The palace servants were worried that she would eat too much, so they specially brought her a cup of tea to help with digestion.

"Yinyin," Xie Yong himself was somewhat confused about his current feelings, "Do you know what the Empress's treasure is?"

"I asked once," Yin Yin said, feigning indifference, "but the answer was just too impossible."

Xie Yong pressed further, "What's impossible?"

Yinyin then stopped what she was doing and said to him, "Didn't you already take me to the verification office to verify it? I didn't pass the verification, so I said that answer is impossible."

Yin Yin's eyes were clear and bright, but Xie Yong suddenly seemed to deflate and leaned back in his chair: "Yin Yin, have you ever thought that maybe this really is the answer?"

Yin Yin feigned confusion, her face full of bewilderment: "What do you mean? Am I really a 'treasure'?"

Xie Yong nodded: "The mission says it's about 'Empress Dowager', but... the Empress has already ascended the throne, so there is no Empress Dowager anymore. Therefore, to successfully verify this, we can only make the Empress become Empress Dowager again."

Yin Yin put down her book, pretended to consider it, and finally said solemnly, "Don't tell me, and I won't ask."

"After all, my sister has been really good to me. I'm already letting her down by not taking back your waist tokens."
