Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Should she go and say it? Yin Yin really wanted to open the Sixth Prince's head and see what was going on inside.

In fact, over the years, as Yin Yin became a princess and the head of the Western Guard, her relationship with Consort Shu became somewhat delicate.

The most direct consequence was that Consort Shu found herself unable to control her anymore, which made her extremely anxious.

The palace maids serving Consort Shu were subtly urging Yin Yin to bow down to Consort Shu and show her loyalty, but how could that be possible?

Yin Yin is capable of eating at the table by herself, so why would she want to be treated like a doll by Consort Shu?

Yinyin wouldn't listen to her obedience test.

Later, because of the Emperor's actions, the Empress became closer to Yin Yin, and Consort Shu looked at Yin Yin as if she had been betrayed, and stopped caring much about Yin Yin's affairs.

So at this moment, when asked what the Sixth Prince was saying, Yin Yin replied, "Should I go and talk to him? Do you think, given Aunt's personality, she'd listen to me, or would she want me to listen to her?"

The sixth prince fell silent, clearly understanding his mother well.

Yinyin thought for a moment and said, "Actually, it's not difficult to find a way. Just like I said before, you come with me to Father Emperor and tell him."

"Huh?" The Sixth Prince said reluctantly, "Sister Yinyin, is it really necessary to make such a fuss about this to Father Emperor?"

“No, it’s not necessary,” Yin Yin said calmly. “The premise is that you can stop your aunt yourself and prevent her from acting recklessly. You also need to find out who is talking nonsense in front of her and then dissuade her from doing so.”

After saying that, Yin Yin looked up at him and asked sincerely, "Can you do it?"

“I can’t,” the Sixth Prince said, his face falling and his anxiety growing. “Sister Yinyin, if this matter reaches Father Emperor, won’t Mother be scolded?”

"It's hard to say, but Father Emperor certainly knows what kind of person Aunt is. As for you," Yin Yin looked him up and down for a moment, making him feel uneasy.

The sixth prince became even more uneasy: "Sister Yinyin, just say what you want to say, don't look at me like that."

Yinyin chuckled lightly: "Sixth Prince, you are actually quite clever. How could you not know why those people are talking nonsense in front of your aunt? If you want to avoid being implicated in this matter, I advise you not to take any chances."

"Your Majesty's mind is as clear as a mirror, and your body is in good health."

The Sixth Prince's face turned red and then white, then red again, and finally he muttered, "Sister Yinyin, you always manage to dampen my spirits. I only wanted to think about it for a couple of days."

"Oh," Yin Yin replied coldly, "If you want to come with me, then come along. Don't try to use your little tricks on me."

"No matter what happens, I will always stand on Father's side, no matter who you are."

After Yinyin finished speaking, she turned and left.

Hearing that the Sixth Prince had followed without hesitation, Yin Yin breathed a sigh of relief.

There's still hope.

Actually, it's not a bad thing for the sixth prince to have his eye on that position, but he just doesn't have the ability to do so. He hasn't been able to get his grandfather and uncle to stand behind him and help him yet.

If you can't even do this simple thing, do you expect others to help you win over court officials and increase your faction?

If you don't have the ability, it's best to face reality as soon as possible and give up unrealistic fantasies.

His Majesty even hunted a tiger himself last autumn. Wouldn't it be better to be a good and loyal son?

When they arrived at the Xuan Shi Hall, the emperor was not surprised to see the sixth prince entering with Yin Yin, clearly having been informed beforehand.

After they paid their respects, Yin Yin gestured for the Sixth Prince to step forward, and the Emperor gave the Sixth Prince ample time.

The sixth prince was still a little nervous, but he clearly recounted the whole story from beginning to end.

The emperor nodded and told him directly, "I have already chosen your sixth prince's wife. None of the women your mother had her eye on are suitable."

Yinyin saw the panic in the Sixth Prince's eyes, then turned her head to look at the carvings on the pillars of the main hall. Not bad, the craftsmen had carved them quite beautifully.

After the Sixth Prince left, covered in cold sweat, the Emperor said to Yin Yin, "Consort Shu had some thoughts she shouldn't have had. Although no disaster has occurred yet, thanks to the Sixth Prince's help, she still deserves to be punished."

"I intend to bestow upon her a statue of a Bodhisattva and have her recite scriptures for two months to refresh her mind."

“Father’s idea is good,” Yin Yin said. “I only hope that Consort Shu can understand Father’s good intentions.”

The emperor shook his head, clearly not holding out much hope: "I already know who instigated Consort Shu, but it's not a good time to deal with her now."

The emperor already knew about this, so Yin Yin wasn't surprised. What surprised her was that there was someone who even the emperor found difficult to approach. Who was it?

The emperor had no intention of playing games with her and spoke frankly.

“Recently, Consort De has been in close contact with the Crown Prince and the eldest son’s people, and has been frequently probing into matters under the Empress’s jurisdiction.”

"Yinyin, the Empress and I have discussed this. After nightfall, once the palace gates are locked, the Western Guards will quietly move the belongings elsewhere. You will be in charge of how to arrange them then."

Yinyin readily agreed: "Then I'll stay in the palace tonight, and get things done as soon as possible."

The emperor shook his head: "No rush, come back in a couple of days."

Then the emperor added, "Remember to bring Chengsi along."

Qi Chengsi was the name the emperor gave to Yin Yin's child; it was simple, straightforward, and its meaning was obvious.

“My father used to love me the most, but now that he has a grandson, he is the closest to his grandparents. It’s only been a few days since I last saw him, and I already miss him.”

"You're such a grown woman, why are you still competing for my affections with a child?" The emperor said to her, but he seemed quite pleased. He replied, "Don't I love you the most?"

Yin Yin was delighted and then brought up the matter from before: "I remember when we were little, Consort Shu and Consort De didn't get along very well."

"It is precisely because we have not been on good terms for many years that we know a person's weaknesses best," the emperor instructed her. "Isn't this the meaning of 'know yourself and know your enemy'?"

Because of understanding, one knows best how to hurt someone, and also knows best how to stir up someone's ambition.

Yin Yin wisely refrained from asking further questions about why the Crown Prince and the First Prince had dealings with Consort De and why they deliberately provoked Consort Shu.

It's just that Consort Shu and she are aunt and niece. These people seem to be scheming against Consort Shu, but their real target is Princess Shou Kang, or rather, the Western Guard under her control.

The Crown Prince and the First Prince have once again considered taking back the Imperial Guards; it seems they really can't tolerate it any longer this time.

I wonder if they are aware that their every move is being watched by their father?

After chatting with the emperor for a while, Yin Yin noticed that the cabinet had sent over a large number of new memorials. She wisely got up to take her leave, saying that she was going to pay her respects to the empress.

The emperor generously released the people.

Yinyin only came out after discussing with the Empress how to hand over the items in the Jiaofang Palace.

She stood in the palace alley, hesitated for a moment, and then went to Yaoguang Palace.

Over the years, although Consort Shu's favor with the emperor has diminished, Yin Yin still enjoys favor with him, and with the Sixth Prince around, the emperor always makes sure she gets a share of the good things.

The palace servants below dared not neglect their duties, so the Yaoguang Palace remained opulent and luxurious.

As soon as she reached the door, Yin Yin heard the cursing coming from inside and the embarrassed look on the face of the palace maid who was leading the way.

She stood there, listened for a couple of minutes, and then realized what was happening.

Well, they're insulting her and the Sixth Prince together.
