Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

"The journey is long and arduous, Your Majesty, please take good care of yourself."

"I will. Your Majesty, please be careful in the palace."

Yinyin was wrapped in thick swaddling clothes and held in her mother's arms.

Although she was facing the person speaking, with her current eyesight, she couldn't see that far. She could only tell from their conversation that one was her father, and the other was the new emperor who had just been put on the throne after her father was deposed.

These two brothers were not born of the same mother, but they had a very good relationship. Even with the prospect of the throne right in front of them, they could not turn against each other.

The reason is simply that the throne is far too difficult to hold.

The palace eunuchs and those outside were constantly engaged in open and covert struggles, and the emperor was merely a puppet in their hands.

After ascending the throne, Yin Yin's father was not content with his position. He gradually tested the waters and, after gaining some real power, wanted to eliminate the eunuchs and powerful ministers. Unfortunately, someone feared that the news would leak out, and he became a deposed emperor.

Originally, the eunuchs and powerful ministers wanted to kill him, but the new emperor refused and threatened to kill himself. In the end, the eunuchs and powerful ministers had no choice but to back down and exile him.

To prevent this deposed emperor from making a comeback, they exiled him quite far away, directly to Sichuan and Chongqing.

After the two people finished speaking, they walked over to Yin Yin.

The new emperor looked at Yin Yin, who was only a month old, with great pity in his eyes: "Royal brother, royal sister-in-law, Shu Ming is a boy, so it's fine if he wants to go with you. But Yin Yin is so young, how can she endure the hardships of travel? Why don't we leave her in the palace?"

"I will adopt Yinyin as my daughter. When the Empress enters the palace, I will raise her under her care. She will still be a noble and precious princess."

Yinyin could feel her mother's arms tightening around her unconsciously; her eyes were full of reluctance, but her face showed a hint of hesitation.

Not only her, but even her father fell silent.

Yin Yin burst into tears. Although she could only move a limited amount of space, she still used all her strength to lean towards her mother.

Yinyin knew that she was young and that traveling far from home was risky; she might even die on the road.

If she stayed, according to the plot, the only outcome would be her death, and she would die very young.

In the story, when she was murdered and her identity stolen, her parents and brothers probably hadn't even reached the fiefdom of Bashu yet.

At such a young age, even if Yin Yin knew some extraordinary internal energy cultivation technique, it would be of no use. After all, it would only be about a month. What could she possibly learn?

"Father, Mother, does my little sister want to come with us?" Yu Shuming's childish voice rang out. "My little sister must know that we want to keep her here, so she can't bear to leave us."

Yu Shuming had someone pick him up to look at Yin Yin, and then gently poked Yin Yin's other little hand with his finger.

Yinyin reacted quickly and grabbed him without letting go.

"Father, Mother," Yu Shuming lowered his eyelids, concealing the pity in his eyes that was not befitting his age, but instead made a pleading face, "Can we take my sister with us?"

“What does a little girl like her know? She’s probably just hungry,” the mother, Xun Hui, gently patted her daughter, but she couldn’t soothe her.

The new emperor quickly summoned the wet nurse he had brought to take over, but before the wet nurse could even touch Yin Yin, Yin Yin's cries suddenly became exceptionally shrill.

Yu Shuming glanced at the wet nurse's face, then slapped her hand: "Don't touch my sister!"

Yu Shuming made a gesture as if to hug his younger sister, and gently patted Yin Yin on the back: "Be good, little sister, I'm your big brother, big brother is here."

Yin Yin keenly sensed that something was wrong. Wasn't her older brother supposed to only regain his memory after developing a high fever on the way to Sichuan? Why did he seem to be behaving strangely now?

Yin Yin pretended to be comforted and slowly stopped crying, her pair of grape-like, crystal-clear eyes staring intently at her brother.

Yu Shuming was very close at this moment, and with Yin Yin's current eyesight, she could roughly make out his face and the almost solidified dragon aura on his body.

Goodness, this three-and-a-half-year-old is an enhanced version!

Yinyin was in poor spirits because she had been watching for too long and had used her Qi-gazing technique. Before she fell asleep, the only thought in her mind was...

With such a reliable older brother, can I finally cling to his coattails and give up after all this time?

Seeing that Yu Shuming had actually managed to soothe Yin Yin and even "coaxed" her to sleep, Yu's father, who was already reluctant to part with his daughter, immediately made a decision.

"Go, all of you go," Yu's father said, looking at the new emperor, then at the palace servants who had followed him, whose loyalty was unclear, and finally gave his younger brother a firm squeeze of his hand.

"Take care of yourself."

Upon hearing this, the young emperor burst into tears and grasped his father's hand tightly: "Brother, you too, you must live well!"

The two brothers were filled with reluctance, but what must leave cannot be kept.

Urged relentlessly by the eunuchs, Yu's father led his family into a green-canopied carriage, which swayed and wobbled as it headed off into the distance.

When Yinyin woke up again and found that it was her father holding her tightly, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If we can safely get through this part of the journey and reach Sichuan, we should be able to survive.

When Yu's father saw that his youngest daughter had woken up and was not crying or making a fuss, but was looking around curiously, his tense expression relaxed.

Upon discovering that his younger sister was awake, Yu Shuming came closer and said, "My little sister is so good."

“Yes,” Xun Hui chimed in, “Yinyin is the most obedient. As long as we’re around, she doesn’t make a fuss.”

After saying those few words, the carriage fell silent again.

It's good that the whole family is together peacefully, but apart from the two younger children, no one knows what the future holds.

But unfortunately, of the two younger ones, one couldn't even lift his head, let alone speak.

The other one, though able to speak, thought nothing serious would happen, so he didn't say anything. Instead, he had Yin Yin lie on the carriage and encouraged her to practice lifting her head.

"Yinyin, look! What am I holding in my hand?"

Yinyin tried her best to lift her head for a while, but she was too tired and lay down on the spot without moving.

Yu Shuming found it both funny and endearing, and remarked, "My little sister is so lazy; she doesn't want to play anymore after only a short while."

Yinyin didn't bother to respond to his words. If she could speak right now, she would definitely ask him, "Brother, do you think playing with you is easy?"

"Huh?" Yu Shuming suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Yin Yin suspiciously.

Yin Yin hadn't noticed anything was wrong when Yu Shuming suddenly tentatively took her hand.

"Yinyin, is that you?"

Yinyin blinked, sucking her thumb, not understanding what her brother was doing.

Not to mention her, even their parents don't really understand.

"Shuming, what's wrong with your sister?"

Yu Shuming shook his head: "It's nothing, I was just teasing my sister."

After saying that, he moved closer to Yin Yin and carefully observed her every move.
