Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

The emperor certainly wouldn't send them away in the freezing cold; in fact, he probably wished they would stay in the capital a little longer.

The better they lived in the capital, the better it showed how good they were to their brothers.

Otherwise, how could the Prince of Yangliao, who never returned to the capital during the reign of the late emperor, have come back and lived so comfortably in the capital?

Those below knew the emperor's thoughts, and were always happy to invite Yin Yin and Fu Yuanzhou to any banquet.

Although they treated the two with great respect at the banquet, Yin Yin and the others did not enjoy such adoration, and Fu Yuanzhou grew tired of it after only a few days.

"Everyone has the same expression, but they may not really think highly of me. They are only doing so because of the Emperor's orders."

Yin Yin was quite comfortable in such situations; no matter what these people thought, they wouldn't dare to come up to her.

However, she was happy to have less of this pointless socializing, so she offered Fu Yuanzhou some advice.

“If you don’t want to go, then don’t go,” Yin Yin carefully adjusted the direction of the flowers and leaves in front of her. “We’ve attended so many banquets in the past few days, that’s enough.”

"Didn't you want to see the autumn leaves before? If you don't go now, there might not even be any fallen leaves left."

Upon hearing this, Fu Yuanzhou immediately made a decision: "That's right. As long as I'm happy, I don't need to go to the banquet to listen to them trying to build relationships."

As he spoke, he began to plan with great enthusiasm what route to take, where to go, and what food to bring along.

As the weather gradually turns colder, the number of banquets in the capital does not decrease.

The Yangliao Prince's Mansion, which is currently riding high on popularity, receives numerous inquiries every day.

When the invitations were first sent, it was a time of great distress for Fu Yuanzhou. He couldn't simply decide whose house to visit or not to visit.

But now, he's happy to refuse them all, without even glancing at them, and just has someone else reply for him.

The families in the capital who received his rejection were initially unhappy, but when they learned that he hadn't agreed either and had gone out to enjoy the scenery on his own, they were no longer angry. In fact, they thought he was a wise man who appeared foolish.

Yin Yin hadn't eliminated the people the emperor had placed in the palace, so he was able to get more detailed information.

Knowing that Fu Yuanzhou and his wife were tired of attending banquets and felt it was better to go out and have fun on their own, he initially thought the couple lacked ambition, but then he thought it was a good thing, so he turned a blind eye and let them go.

With the emperor's tacit approval, the two naturally enjoyed themselves even more. Sometimes, they stayed so long that they didn't have time to return to the city and simply stayed outside the city.

Whether it's a royal temple outside the capital or a property owned by the Chu family, there's always somewhere for them to rest.

The couple lived such a leisurely life, without fear of being bothered by the emperor, which seemed particularly glaring to some people.

So on this day, the two had planned to go out to enjoy the plum blossoms in the snow. Just as the carriage reached the bustling streets, a figure suddenly darted out.

If the coachman hadn't been quick to rein in the horse, its hooves would have trampled over the man.

"Are you out of your mind? Why did you suddenly run in front of the carriage?" The coachman gave a wink to the guard beside him, who then stepped forward and pulled the man aside.

Seeing that the carriage was about to continue moving forward, the man struggled to break free from the guards' grasp: "I want to file a complaint! Please, sir, save this humble commoner!"

The carriage stopped again, and both Yin Yin and Fu Yuanzhou had a premonition that their trip today was probably going to be canceled.

Yinyin mouthed the words "Prefect of the Capital" to Fu Yuanzhou.

Fu Yuanzhou understood and ordered, "Go and invite the Prefect of the Capital. Under the Emperor's nose, if someone has a grievance, he should be called to handle it."

The servant following beside the carriage agreed and went to fetch the person.

The person who was about to file a complaint quickly shouted, "My lord, you're useless! The Prefect of the Capital is useless!"

He tried to kneel on the ground with tears in his eyes, but the guards of the Yangliao Prince's Mansion held him back and prevented him from doing so.

“I once went to the Prefect of the Capital to file a complaint, but the Prefect and that wicked man were in cahoots. Not only did they refuse to accept my complaint, they also drove me out.”

"The last time, they even threatened to beat me. I have no other choice but to beg you, sir, to save my family!"

The onlookers, upon hearing this, all showed some sympathy.

Both Yin Yin and Fu Yuanzhou, sitting in the carriage, realized how troublesome the matter was.

Who is behind the petition that the Prefect of the Capital refuses to accept?

In this situation, the two of them can't leave, so they can only ask someone to present the petition first.

The man watched as the guards took the petition and put it into the carriage. He looked up and glanced to the side before heading towards the wall behind him.

Yinyin had just lifted the curtain when her expression changed: "Stop him!"

The guard was heading in that direction, so he quickened his pace. Luckily, some of the onlookers reacted quickly and managed to pull the person back.

But the force and momentum of his charge were too great, and the strong man who saved him twisted his arm.

Yinyin sent someone to fetch a doctor, paid the consultation fee, and also gave them a tip.

The brave man who saved the life quickly refused, saying, "Saving the life was just a favor I did, and besides, you have already paid for the consultation. I don't deserve any further reward from you."

“The consultation fee is the consultation fee, but you should keep this money,” Yin Yin said. “You injured your hand, so you have to heal it before you go back to work. Otherwise, you might develop some kind of chronic illness. Wouldn’t it be a case of good intentions causing harm? We can’t let a good person suffer like this.”

The onlookers were surprised to see such a considerate person and encouraged the two people who were helping to accept the money from Yin Yin.

"If someone gives you something, you should accept it; refusing it is not a good thing."

After they received the money, Yin Yin turned cold and said to the man who handed her the petition, "If you don't even have the courage to live and face this, there's no need to file this petition."

"When a person dies, the lights go out, and the victim and witnesses are gone, who can be sued?"

"No matter how eloquently you write your complaint, it's all in vain."

The man paused, then subconsciously glanced outside the crowd of onlookers.

Yinyin followed his gaze and saw someone winking at him.

Yinyin memorized his appearance, gave the other guards a wink, and said that she was going to take the aggrieved party to file a complaint, clearing a path ahead.

The crowd was bustling about, but no one noticed that a guard had fallen behind.

Yinyin and Fu Yuanzhou's carriage moved slowly, and before long, the guard arrived with a person who was tightly bound.

The person who filed the complaint was so shocked when he saw the man's face that his eyes widened in disbelief.

Yinyin glanced at the situation outside: "Let's change course and go to the palace."

Fu Yuanzhou said with a straight face: "We've all decided not to get involved, yet they still went out of their way to use human lives to set a trap for us. What a clever scheme."

“When you’re in the capital, how can you really hide? We just don’t know who’s behind it all,” Yin Yin winked at him. “We just accidentally discovered that we’ve been framed. We’ve accepted the complaint, but we haven’t had a chance to read it yet, so we don’t know anything about it.”
