Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Chapter 517 World Nine 27

Although Yin Yin had a premonition, she did not expect the Empress to make a decision so quickly and to have such a high level of execution.

As for the Crown Prince, he never expected that the Empress and the Emperor would escalate to the point of launching a palace coup.

The key point is that the empress easily won her palace coup, but unfortunately, he was not the final winner.

That's right. After launching the palace coup, the empress did not hand over the throne to the crown prince, but instead ascended the throne herself and became empress.

The emperor and the crown prince thought the empress would face a lot of criticism, but to their surprise, apart from a few people in the court, even members of the imperial family and his other sons accepted it well.

"Why?" The emperor didn't understand, and neither did the crown prince.

“Because I don’t want to die,” said the late emperor’s only surviving youngest son, the emperor’s seventeenth uncle.

"The late emperor employed sorcerers, and how many people, from court officials to members of the imperial family, were killed to make medicine? Now you are using sorcerers who are of the same lineage as him."

“The sorcerer said he wanted to use Venerable Xingluo’s flesh and blood for medicine, so you imprisoned the Empress and forced her to bring Venerable Xingluo back.”

"If that sorcerer were like the one from the late emperor's time, randomly pointing and choosing who to use as medicine, you wouldn't refuse, would you?"

His other sons said, "You know in your heart that our father treated us with some fatherly affection."

"The fifth brother almost died in the tiger's mouth because of your abandonment, and still dares not go to the hunting grounds. The third brother almost died of illness and was scolded by you. The seventh brother was injured while saving you, but you only glanced at him and then left."

The group spoke in bits and pieces, and the traitorous soldiers nearby were terrified.

"If it weren't for the Empress Dowager's care, we don't know if we would have survived to this day."

Yin Yin stood hidden beside the Empress, frowning as she listened. When she heard the last sentence, she thought of something and cast a spell to ask the Empress.

"Mother, is what they're saying true?"

Seeing that her words wouldn't disturb others, the Empress also spoke directly: "She's just pragmatic enough."

Yinyin understood.

Regardless of whether the emperor had truly been good to them in the past, when it came to expressing their loyalty, they would only bring up the negative aspects.

After all, the palace coup had already occurred, and most of the civil and military officials in power were standing behind the empress. Even the imperial family members were not on the emperor's side, so what was there left to insist on?

The Crown Prince is, after all, the Empress's own son, but these people are not.

No matter what farce unfolds before her, it cannot change the fact that the empress has become the empress.

Although being an empress is different from being an emperor, the empress also participated in politics and had the assistance of good ministers and famous generals. She also had a daughter in the Nascent Soul stage as a backer, and successfully promulgated many policies that benefited the country and the people.

The empress had long been renowned among the common people, and although there was opposition to her sudden ascension to the throne, it was quickly quelled by the benefits she had gained.

Although there were still many thorny issues at hand, the Queen was handling them with great enjoyment.

Yin Yin felt relieved and told her about her trip to the secret realm.

The Empress was reluctant to part with her, but she still personally saw her off and instructed her to act cautiously.

Yinyin found the inn where Qi Tianyuan and the others were before the secret realm opened. When she went in, she saw Yaoyao sitting stubbornly next to Qi Tianyuan, with the back of her head turned to him. She was about to cry but refused to lower her head. Xiao Liu was talking to her and trying to comfort her.

Yinyin feigned hesitation about whether she should come in: "Is this... am I at the wrong time?"

Jing Lin, the cultivator who was very eloquent outside the Heavenly Outer Sect, quickly stood up: "Isn't this Junior Sister? Are you also planning to enter the secret realm?"

Yinyin nodded: "Junior brother said there is a secret realm here."

"So that last token was meant for you," Jing Lin breathed a sigh of relief and said to Qi Tianyuan, "It's not like your junior sister is doing anything shameful, why did you keep it a secret?"

“That’s right,” Xiao Liu said sarcastically after hearing their conversation. “Junior Sister, you don’t know, these past few days the secret realm tokens have been sold at exorbitant prices. Yao Yao thought we had more than one yuan worth, so she said that after the secret realm, the extra ones would be useless and we wouldn’t be able to use them next time, so we might as well take this opportunity to sell them. But Tian Yuan disagreed.”

"But he's like a saw-off gourd, he won't say anything. If he had explained earlier, Yao Yao wouldn't have been angry with him."

That sounded interesting. Yin Yin raised an eyebrow when she saw him stare at Yao Yao with a hint of pity after he finished speaking.

It seems a lot has happened in the past two months, and their relationship has undergone many changes.

Yinyin understood his heart's desire, but the resentment she expressed towards Qi Tianyuan seemed rather unlike what one might expect.

“This isn’t his fault. I hadn’t finished my business, so I couldn’t come back. I even asked him to leave me a keepsake,” Yin Yin added. “How many spirit stones can this keepsake be exchanged for outside? Otherwise, I could buy it at market price.”

Jing Lin quickly waved to her, but before he could say anything, Qi Tianyuan stood up with a cold face.

“No need for Junior Sister to buy it,” Qi Tianyuan said. “I went to find it specifically because I thought you might come. It has nothing to do with them.”

Yinyin glanced at Xiao Liu's flushed face and her eyes darted around.

"So that's it."

Fairy Ling Su, who was sitting to the side, quickly stood up and said, "Yao Yao meant well..."

Qi Tianyuan said somewhat impatiently, "Her good intentions are not what I want. Shouldn't my opinion take precedence?"

Fairy Lingsu fell silent. Seeing Yao Yao purse her lips, Xiao Liu jumped out again: "Tian Yuan, how can you be so ungrateful? Is it wrong for Yao Yao to do what's best for you?"

“Then I hope she’s not doing it for my own good,” Qi Tianyuan said bluntly. “I don’t need her to dispose of my things without my consent, making decisions for me under the guise of doing what’s best for me.”

Yao Yao suddenly stood up, covered her face without saying a word, and rushed out.

"Yao Yao," Xiao Liu stood up, "Qi Tianyuan, look what you've done!"

After saying that, he chased after her.

Jing Lin breathed a sigh of relief, and after a moment said, "They must have tokens on them, right? The secret realm will be opening soon."

“They have tokens,” Fairy Lingsu said. “Yaoyao’s token was originally with her, but Xiao Liu gave her his to appease her.”

Since they had everything, the group stopped worrying about it. Qi Tianyuan gave Yin Yin the token he had left for her and told her what to be careful about once inside.

Outside, Yao Yao ran all the way to the outskirts of the city. Enraged, she lashed out with her whip, causing a towering tree to crash down. The demonic energy that had not yet dissipated rose from the broken end, causing the tree to wither rapidly.

When Xiao Liu caught up and saw this scene, he couldn't lift his foot for a moment.

"Yao Yao, you...you are a demonic cultivator?"
