Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

When Yinyin arrived at the horse farm, she rode a horse for a lap.

When the general's youngest son arrived, he saw her clothes fluttering in the wind and spurred his horse to chase after her.

"Princess, shall we have a contest?"

Yinyin didn't reply, but gently squeezed the horse's belly, urging it to go even faster.

The two, one in front and one behind, were both putting in their best effort to defeat the other.

Watching from the sidelines, the Right Chancellor Changsun placed a piece on the chessboard and urged the Situ Yousun opposite him, "It's your turn."

"Don't rush, don't rush," Situ Yousun held the black piece and stared at it for a while, realizing that no matter where he placed it, he would lose. His eyes darted around, and he threw the piece back into the chess box. "Hey, doesn't it feel like something's missing today?"

Seeing that he was about to renege on his promise again, the Right Chancellor Changsun rolled his eyes without any politeness: "What could be missing? We'd just miss Zhou Yun, who's always making a fuss and following the princess around."

Situ Yousun slammed his hand on the table: "That's right, it's Zhou Yun!"

Looking at the chessboard that had been messed up by the slap, the Right Chancellor Changsun chuckled: "Try slapping it again. Anyway, I still remember how the chessboard was set up. I'll restore it to its original state later."

Situ Yousun said awkwardly, "Don't you understand the principle of 'seeing through but not saying it'? We're talking about Zhou Yun right now, can't you forget about playing chess?"

"Oh," said the Right Chancellor Changsun, striking a pose with a blank expression. "Go on."

Just then, Yin Yin returned victorious. Seeing Situ Yousun's mournful face and the obviously messed-up chess game, she paused and asked, "Should I not have come back at this time?"

“Princess,” Situ Yousun’s eyes lit up, “No, no, you’ve come at the perfect time. We were just talking about why Zhou Yun hasn’t arrived yet.”

"He hasn't arrived yet?" Yin Yin also found it strange. She turned to the accompanying guards and instructed them, "Send two people to the Left Prime Minister's residence to ask if Zhou Yun has left yet, in case something happened to him on the way."

After the guard left to carry out his orders, Situ Yousun fawned over Yinyin and led her to where he had been sitting: "Princess, only you can save my life in this game!"

After Yinyin sat down, Situ Yousun looked at her and asked, "When did you finish cleaning up this chess game?"

The Right Chancellor Changsun placed the black chess box next to Yinyin and said, "The princess and I will naturally play another game. You are such a terrible chess player. You played so badly that you still need the princess to play for you. Aren't you ashamed?"

“Of course not,” Situ Yousun argued. “The princess is so capable, I’ll ask her for help. Besides, the princess is willing to help me, so what’s it to you?”

"That's none of your business," before Situ Yousun's smugness could last long, Right Chancellor Changsun coldly retorted, "but I can set up this endgame next time we play chess."

"No need, thank you," Situ Yousun said stiffly, turning to Yinyin, on the verge of tears.

The Right Chancellor's eldest grandson called out loudly to the General's son, then pointed at the Minister's youngest grandson and said, "He wants to ride horses with you."

The general's son was happy to have someone accompany him, so he took the young grandson of the Minister of Works and went outside.

When Situ Yousun got tired of playing and was dragged back, Yinyin and the other person's chess game had reached its final stage.

“Princess,” the person sent to the Zhou family came in from outside, “this humble servant waited until we arrived at the Left Prime Minister’s residence, but the people there said that Young Master Zhou had offended Vice Minister Zhou today and was beaten up, so he can’t come.”

Yinyin placed a piece, then suddenly realized something was amiss: "Who from the Prime Minister's residence told you this?"

The guard thought for a moment and said, "It's the gatekeeper of the Prime Minister's residence."

Right Chancellor Changsun pressed further, "Didn't you see Zhou Yun or his servant?"

Seeing the guard shake his head, Yin Yin and the Right Chancellor Changsun exchanged a glance and frowned at the same time.

"Is Zhou Yun out of his mind? Of all days, he had to upset his father," Situ Yousun muttered, then suddenly hissed.

"That's not right. Usually, if Zhou Yun can't come, they'll send someone to tell him well in advance. But today, they can't even send anyone. The person the princess sent to inquire couldn't even see his own servant. What serious crime must he have committed!"

"Besides..." Situ Yousun glanced at Yinyin secretly, only to add in his mind that whenever the princess came out of the palace to play, Zhou Yun would climb over the wall to run out.

It might not be that something happened to Zhou Yun. Yin Yin played with the chess pieces in her hand, her eyelids lowered.

Although Zhou Yun and his companions were top-tier playboys in the capital, with Yin Yin constantly instructing them, they at most indulged in collecting antiques and appreciating refined tastes, tending to their gardens, and raising horses.

Although he spent a lot of money, he never harmed anyone. So, when Zhou Yun was beaten in the past, it was mostly because he had spent a fortune on something.

The only time he was severely beaten by his father was when he went to a gambling den with others.

But it only happened once.

This is the kind of person who was working hard to prepare for this trip just a few days ago, and suddenly he committed a serious crime. Yin Yin and the others definitely don't believe it.

Afterwards, Yinyin and the others played for a while longer before heading back to their respective homes.

Upon entering the palace gates, Yin Yin went straight to the East Palace and told Yu Shuming about it.

Yu Shuming didn't seem particularly surprised after hearing this.

He hesitated for a moment and then said, "Yinyin, if I were to confiscate your friend's property and exterminate his entire family, would you blame me?"

A heinous crime involving the confiscation of property and the extermination of the entire clan?

Yinyin roughly understood what was going on at the Left Prime Minister's residence.

She said, "Of course not, brother must have his reasons."

"However, since he's a friend, I'll definitely give him a last meal before he's beheaded."

Yu Shuming laughed and said to her, "Several vassal kings have joined forces to launch a rebellion and have approached the Left Prime Minister."

“Once Zuo agrees, their family’s fate will be sealed.”

"Which ones?" Yin Yin thought for a moment and said, "Brother, you think the Left Prime Minister would be interested, so it can't be some minor prince."

Yu Shuming listed the fiefdoms of those families one by one, and then said, "As long as we win this battle, the power of the imperial princes will be solely in our family."

Yinyin silently counted the locations of those families in her mind: "If these families joined forces, they could stir up a storm, and they could destroy it just as quickly."

After all, they were all powerful feudal lords with the same goal: to seize the throne. Perhaps they could compromise and cooperate with each other.

Whenever it comes to the distribution of profits, they will definitely cause a huge uproar.

After all, there can only be one throne, and who wouldn't want to be sitting on it?

Yu Shuming nodded: "The Imperial Uncle has entrusted me with the entire responsibility for this matter. I have already sent people out and also sent a letter to Father."

Yin Yin's eyes lit up: "Father can take this opportunity to return to the capital."

“Yes,” Yu Shuming responded with a sigh, then smiled again, “It’s a pity you’re still young, otherwise, I could see how well you’ve learned military strategy over the years.”

"Big brother," Yin Yin said seriously, "I'm almost ten years old, not a little kid anymore. If you're worried, you can test me, or we can have a real fight."

"No need," Yu Shuming was well aware of his younger sister's fighting prowess. After all, there was a time when he almost fell, and Yinyin caught him with one hand and even asked him if he was alright.

“You have other tasks,” Yu Shuming said solemnly, “Can you protect the Imperial Uncle and Imperial Aunt when the time comes?”
