Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

They refused to leave after being chased away and even deliberately moved to a place near the Prince's mansion. No one would believe they weren't up to something.

In the evening, the nanny who served Tangyuan was about to take him to rest when Yinyin stopped her.

"Tangyuan will rest with me for the next few days."

The nanny responded and quickly went to fetch the things Tangyuan usually needed.

Although Tangyuan is still young, he was especially happy to see his mother by his side today. He held tightly to Yinyin's clothes and refused to let go. He fell asleep not long after.

In the dead of night, when a person is most tired and asleep, Yin Yin quietly opened her eyes.

She got up quietly, which immediately alerted Qingyun, who was guarding the room.

Yinyin gestured for her not to speak, then took down the sword hanging on the wall and held it in her hand.

A thin blade reached in through the crack in the door and began to fiddle with the latch.

Yinyin and the other woman waited as if they were looking at idiots.

When the person outside finally unlatched the door, Yin Yin immediately drew her sword and stabbed at them.

The man reacted quickly and retreated, but was still scratched by Yin Yin.

"Wait, wait," the man said quickly, "I have something important to tell Her Highness the Princess because I have come to visit so late at night!"

Yinyin scoffed, "Why not use the main entrance in broad daylight, instead of stealing in the dead of night? You say you have something important to do, but who would believe you?"

She glanced at the silent side rooms on either side, then pushed the sword forward, blocking his escape route: "The people in my courtyard are always vigilant, but they haven't reacted yet. Tell me, did you do something?"

The visitor downplayed the matter, saying, "I just wanted to have a proper talk with Her Highness the Princess and make a deal. This matter is too important to be disturbed by others, so let them get some sleep."

Yinyin gave Qingyun a signal, and Qingyun went to get a rope and tied the person up tightly.

The man was injured and pinned down by Yin Yin's sword, so he could only speak: "Why doesn't Your Highness hear my purpose before making a decision?"

"You can say whatever you want, it won't keep me from tying you up and dealing with you tomorrow," Yinyin yawned. "Say what you want to say quickly, otherwise you'll leave us guessing..."

"Qingyun, let's just gag him. It's late, he should get some sleep."

The man was stunned, and before he could say anything, Qingyun covered his mouth with a handkerchief.

This time, no matter what sound he made, Yin Yin didn't stay.

Qingyun went to the room next door to check on the servants. Finding that they could be woken up, she called two of them out to keep a close eye on the person.

The next day, when Yinyin woke up, she found that the man had been tied up outside the house all night.

Yinyin didn't go out. Instead, she washed up, put on makeup, and slowly finished her breakfast before signaling Qingyun to take her to the flower hall.

Yinyin sat in the flower hall, sipping her tea: "Have you learned how to speak properly yet?"

The man quickly and pragmatically replied, "I've learned it, I've learned it."

Yinyin put down her teacup: "Speak, who are you, and what brings you here?"

The man said, "I am Jiang Jia, and I have been sent to deliver a message to Your Highness."

“Princess?” Yin Yin tilted her head. “There are no princesses in the Prince’s mansion.”

Jiang Jia glanced at Yin Yin: "Isn't that you, Princess?"

Jiang Jia continued, "Your mother is the daughter of the Wu family, the birth mother of the Emperor of my Ming Kingdom, and the current Empress Dowager is your aunt."

"When General Li's family reported the news of the princess, the emperor planned to meet her in person. However, the princess and you left too quickly, and the capital was in a period of great turmoil, so it was delayed."

"Now that the Emperor has ascended the throne, the Empress Dowager misses her family. The Emperor plans to bestow upon you the title of Princess. We have come here to inform you of this news and request that you go to Mingjing to see the Empress Dowager."

As soon as he said this, the servants in the room all secretly glanced at Yin Yin.

Yin Yin clicked her tongue: "Go see your Ming Dynasty's Empress Dowager. Do you think you can even come back? You'll be lucky if you're not kept in Ming Dynasty as a hostage."

“How could that be?” Jiang Jia said, “You are the Empress Dowager’s own niece.”

Jiang Jia sighed again and softened his voice: "You are also one of the few remaining relatives of the Empress Dowager."

Yinyin looked on with great interest, her expression practically screaming, "Let's see what else you can say!"

Seeing that she remained unmoved, Jiang Jia's sigh was genuine.

Yinyin let her hands hang naturally on her lap: "I don't believe a single word you've said."

Before Jiang Jia could speak again, Yin Yin cut him off.

"Do you know when was the last time I saw General Li's wife in Mingjing?"

"That happened last year."

"If they were truly interested, they would have come knocking long ago. Don't say it's inconvenient to send someone because they're in the capital. General Li was the commander-in-chief of the border before, so he must have some trusted confidants, right?"

"It's not easy to send someone out of your Ming capital, is it really that difficult to send a message to the people on the border to make a move? It's just that you don't have the will."

Yin Yin looked at Jiang Jia with disdain: "Even now, your Ming Kingdom is not sincerely trying to establish kinship. The two armies are facing off at the border, how come you just happened to arrive at such a convenient time?"

"By the way, you clearly went to my mother's house first, but didn't go to my brother first. Instead, you tried every means to see me. Do you want me to spell out your intentions?"

Seeing that Jiang Jia didn't speak, Yin Yin raised her chin: "I don't want to hear him talk, let's keep his mouth shut."

"Now that we know their purpose, there's no need to keep them outside. Take this man away and lock him up first. Once we've arrested his accomplices as well, we'll report to the Prince."

The people in the room immediately sprang into action, and Yinyin, without delay, turned around and went back to her study to write a letter.

Yinyin now has a strong grip on Yangliao City, and Jiang Jia and his group are staying at an inn under her name.

Yinyin gave the instructions, and the innkeeper, along with his waiters and others, not only did not stop them, but also helped them lead the way and even helped them identify the place.

Even if those people had hidden in the crowd and deliberately concealed themselves behind other customers, they were still identified by the waiter and taken away together.

As for the caravan they brought in, they are also restricted from leaving. Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be treated the same as Jiang Jia and his group.

After two people were arrested, the caravan became more sensible and even started doing business locally.

The local people buy things, but they don't answer many of the questions, especially about the Prince's Mansion.

If they asked too many questions, the people would report them directly to the gatekeeper of the Prince's mansion, and a few more people from the caravan would be arrested, and they would finally shut up.

Jiang Jia was interrogated in the morning, the person was arrested in the morning, the letter was sent out at noon, and it arrived in the evening.

Fu Yuanzhou was initially pleased to receive Yin Yin's letter, but after opening it and reading a few lines, his expression changed repeatedly.

"Sneaking into the Prince's mansion at night? Very well, these people must be tired of living!"

"Someone, grind the ink! I need to write a letter to my father. The Ming Kingdom sent assassins to my residence. My princess and young prince were nearly killed. The Ming Kingdom is a wolf in sheep's clothing; we must defeat them!"
