Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

After the eunuch finished speaking, he also gave Yu's father a letter before following the people who had arranged for him to go and rest.

The whole family had originally prepared for Yu Shuming to go to Beijing, but unexpectedly, it was Yinyin who took his place at the last minute.

Because it was inappropriate to stand at the door, Yu's father waited until he returned to the main room before opening the letter. After reading it, he sighed and handed the letter to his wife first.

After Lady Xun finished reading the letter, she slammed it on the table beside her and stood up in anger: "Your Majesty is really something."

Yu Shuming took out the letter, and Yinyin also stepped forward to look at it.

After reading the letter, Yin Yin understood why other families insisted on sending a prince, while her family had changed the recipient.

Besides the fact that the emperor thought that his brother and sister-in-law only had one son, Yu Shuming, and did not want them to be separated, it was also because the empress's relationship with the emperor had become increasingly strained after she lost her son a few years ago.

The emperor wanted to bring a child into the palace to be raised under the empress's care, partly to ease the tension between them and partly to have another legitimate son.

As for the choice of this child, the emperor did not want to give it to someone else, so he naturally thought of his own elder brother.

He could take this opportunity to bestow upon Yin Yin the title of princess, thus elevating her status and treatment.

Yu Shuming, with a stern face, unusually lost his composure and paced around the room.

When Yu Shuming turned his gaze back to Yin Yin, he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty is quite pleased with himself."

"Who cares if he makes Yin Yin a princess!"

If it weren't for the fact that there were outsiders in the house and the fear of being overheard, he probably would have said even more outrageous things.

"Alright," finally Yu's father spoke, "the matter is settled, and there is no turning back."

"Yinyin," Father Yu called his youngest daughter to his side, picked her up, and after a long while said, "I've prepared two people for you. If anyone dares to bully you, you can tell them to beat him up."

"Don't listen to what people say about how girls in the capital should be. With your father around, you can be as spoiled as you want."

"The ministers in the capital are all concerned about their reputation, but you are a young girl, so don't worry about their stuff. Just make sure you don't suffer any losses, understand?"

Madam Xun also spoke up, "Later, I'll write down a list for you, Yin Yin. It includes some people who can be used after you enter the palace."

“These people have all received favors from your father and me. Although they may not have done anything particularly important, they can help you with small things.”

"However, if you want to trust them, you should have Zhang Mama do a thorough check."

Upon hearing this, Yu Shuming said to Yinyin, "After you finish talking to your parents, come to your brother."

After Yin Yin nodded, Yu Shuming asked again, "Father, could we postpone Yin Yin's departure for a few more days?"

Of course, Mr. Yu couldn't refuse; he still had a lot to prepare for Yin Yin.

This sudden news kept the entire Prince's mansion busy.

Yu Shuming first pointed out a few names that Yin Yin could definitely trust from the list his mother had given him. Then he pointed to a few more names and told them who their current masters were.

Finally, still not entirely at ease, he made Yinyin recite it one more time before saying, "I have already given orders to have shops opened in the capital. No matter how the business is, there must be a place where you can rest."

"Keep these two tokens safe. You'll definitely need them when you leave the palace."

"Thank you, big brother," Yin Yin stepped forward and hugged him. "Big brother, don't be so tense. Didn't you say that before?"

"We can't judge the present based on past memories; no one can predict what changes will occur."

"Maybe it's because I should stay in the palace and wait for my parents and older brother to come and pick me up."

“Don’t say things like that,” Yu Shuming hugged his sister tightly, his eyes slightly red. “Yinyin, you must take good care of yourself and wait for us to come and pick you up.”

Yinyin agreed and quickly comforted her brother, telling him not to cry.

In these last few days, Yin Yin clung to her parents and brother, and they often spent time with her.

Yu's father went out less often, and whenever he was home, he would mostly be the one carrying Yin Yin around.

No matter how reluctant I was, the time to leave still came.

Granny Zhang was definitely going to go with them. The other two maids chosen by Father Yu were Guizhi and Lanzhi. They were both around twelve or thirteen years old and could play with Yinyin and take care of her.

Before leaving, Yin Yin was pulled to the small study by Yu Shuming.

Yu Shuming prepared a bracelet made of fine steel for her.

"There's a mechanism on this bracelet. When you open it, a blade will pop out. The blade is made of high-quality steel. Normally, if you look at it from the outside or if you open it incorrectly, the blade will get stuck and won't come out. This will prevent you from accidentally touching it and hurting yourself."

"I had prepared some other things for you, but I thought that you would be checked when you entered the palace, so I skipped it."

"However, you can put this hairpin in your jewelry box and bring it in."

The hairpin was the one Yu Shuming had mentioned before, a flower hairpin with glass flowers tied to it. However, after he taught Yin Yin to manipulate the flower branches, he pulled hard, and Yin Yin saw that there was actually a steel needle that had been polished to an exceptionally sharp edge hidden inside the hairpin.

"This hairpin is poisoned, but it's fine as long as it's not taken out and is only worn in the hair."

"Your hair is too light now, so it's not advisable, but remember not to give it to anyone else either."

As he spoke, Yu Shuming showed her several hollow hairpins that could be used to transmit messages, as well as an umbrella that could transform to conceal a sword.

The umbrella was actually a bit heavy, but Yu Shuming knew that Yin Yin was quite strong, so he didn't make any changes for the time being.

After all, given Yinyin's situation, she probably didn't carry the umbrella herself.

Seeing that her older brother was worried and had prepared so many things for her, Yin Yin hugged his arm, unable to say a word, afraid that if she opened her mouth, it would be with a trembling voice filled with tears.

Yu Shuming could only comfort her: "When you go to the capital, remember to write to us often. When you write, tell us what you need to tell us, but don't only report good news and not bad news, that will make us worry even more, understand?"

"Mmm," Yinyin replied listlessly.

The brother and sister stayed a while longer, until the servants came to urge them to leave, and then they took their things and went out.

Because we were going to travel a long distance, we would be using a horse-drawn carriage this time.

Yin Yin bid farewell to her parents before her father personally carried her to the carriage.

Once the carriage had disappeared from sight, Yu Shuming looked at his parents and said, "Father, Mother, we should start thinking about going to the capital soon."
