Quick Transmigration: The Love Rescue Plan

Dong Yinmiao discovered that her freedom of movement within the palace varied depending on her identity. She could move freely indoors, but she was unable to go outdoors; an invisible barrier would block her from entering the room whenever she tried to step outside.

In addition, Dong Yinmiao encounters Zeng Runqin, whose identity in the palace is that of a dancer. Zeng Runqin does not have as much freedom of movement as Dong Yinmiao; she can only move around in specific places such as the dancers' rooms, practice rooms, and banquet halls. However, Zeng Runqin can go to the outdoor garden.

Through Zeng Runqin and Dong Yinmiao, they also made contact with Situ Ling and He Yihua. Situ Ling owns a bakery outside the palace and can freely enter and leave the imperial city, only delivering goods into the palace when needed by the kitchen. He Yihua, on the other hand, is a palace guard with the highest degree of freedom of movement among all the guards, able to go almost anywhere except for forbidden areas.

Dong Yinmiao first had Zeng Runqin tell Situ Ling about Qiao Zishan being chased all over the palace by palace guards, and then asked Situ Ling to tell He Yihua to find a way to rescue Qiao Zishan so that he wouldn't be imprisoned.

Everyone has a different identity and a different degree of freedom of movement; there must be a deeper meaning behind this.

The kitchen is a melting pot of people, including kitchen helpers, head chefs, apprentices, dishwashing aunties, and vegetable washing aunties—a place where all sorts of people gather, making it the best place to gather information.

The palace guards, who have the greatest freedom of movement, can move around freely and have access to information such as the patrol routes and schedules of the palace guards.

"What is Qiao Zishan's identity?" Although Dong Yinmiao had established contact with Qiao Zishan before, he did not ask any questions so as not to hinder Qiao Zishan's escape.

"I'm a beggar!" Qiao Zishan said before Zeng Runqin could even relay the message. It seemed He Yihua had successfully rescued Qiao Zishan.

"I'm outside the palace now. I can't go inside, or I'll be chased by the palace guards." Qiao Zishan's voice was a little annoyed: "I was just a little curious about the palace! As a result, I was chased by palace guards as soon as I went in."

At this moment, Dong Yinmiao couldn't listen to Qiao Zishan's words at all. She automatically blocked out Qiao Zishan's incessant chatter: "I think beggars... are the best at gathering and spreading information, right?"

"I think so?" Zeng Runqin said somewhat uncertainly, also considering Qiao Zishan's English proficiency.

"Ha~ha~ha~" Dong Yinmiao chuckled dryly a few times and said, "I think...it shouldn't be used like that for a beggar, right?"

"Um... I hope not." Zeng Runqin echoed helplessly.

In any case, now that everyone has been in contact with each other, it's not appropriate to plot anything during the day. Dong Yinmiao decided to wait until evening so that the four of them could meet in the palace to exchange information.

He Yihua still had patrol duties to complete, while Luo Yuheng was still gathering information in the kitchen. Dong Yinmiao decided to explore the palace further with Zeng Runqin.

In the end, Dong Yinmiao concluded that although she could not leave the room alone, she could go outside as a maid.

That evening, under He Yihua's arrangement, Dong Yinmiao, Luo Yuheng, and Zeng Runqin met at the same time in the palace's storage room.

Dong Yinmiao summarized the information that everyone could glean. First, let's call this country Country A. The queen of Country A is a princess of Country B, but the king of Country A claims that the queen has gone mad. In order to prevent the queen from hurting people, he has imprisoned her in a high tower in the garden.

However, the truth is that when Country A faced an attack from Country C, it had no choice but to seek help from Country B, even going so far as to propose marriage to Country B's princess with the honors due to a queen. The two countries formed a marriage alliance, and Country B naturally sent troops to help Country A quell the conflict.

Country A has grown stronger over the years, while Country B is currently experiencing political turmoil due to the death of its old emperor, with its princes fighting amongst themselves for the throne. The emperor of Country A is secretly instigating conflict among the princes of Country B, increasing internal strife, and gathering strength to seize an opportunity to conquer Country B. This plot is discovered by the empress, and naturally, by the emperor as well. To prevent leaks, the emperor imprisons the empress in a high tower, publicly claiming that she has suddenly gone mad.

The forbidden area of ​​the entire palace was the tower where the empress was imprisoned.

Currently, it is known that none of the individuals in the palace are able to travel to the forbidden area alone.

Yes, it is known that He Yihua, Dong Yinmiao, Luo Yuheng, and Zeng Runqin cannot go to the forbidden area. However, it is known that Dong Yinmiao cannot leave the palace to go outside, but through experiments, it is known that Dong Yinmiao and Zeng Runqin can leave the palace together and go to the outdoor garden. Therefore, it can be inferred that there must be a group of people who can go to the forbidden area.

"Or is it possible that the four of us can go to the forbidden area together?" Zeng Runqin thought for a moment and said.

Dong Yinmiao shook his head and said, "Too easy."

“But this is an English test, not a math or logic test. Isn’t it normal for it to be simpler?” Zeng Runqin said uncertainly. “I think we have a high chance of correctly deducing from the information that the test question is about helping the Queen return to the country. We need to see the Queen, persuade her, and help her. All of this requires communication in English, which is very suitable for an English test.”

Zeng Runqin thought for a moment and said, "The difficulty of the exam should be how we persuade and help the Empress, not anything else."

“It sounds reasonable, but is the English exam really that simple? Is it enough to just speak English?” Dong Yinmiao disagreed, and instead analyzed, “But no matter how we guess, it’s useless. We might as well try it out. Anyway, we’re all together tonight, so let’s try different combinations.”

No one objected to Dong Yinmiao's suggestion. Among the entire group, only He Yihua knew the palace map best, so they went to the garden, where He Yihua carefully analyzed with everyone which routes they should take at this time of day to avoid the patrolling guards and reach the tower.

After several attempts at different combinations, no matter how they were arranged, Dong Yinmiao and his companions were unable to reach the tower.

"What exactly happened? It can't be that all six of us have to be together to get to the tower, can it?" Zeng Runqin said, somewhat annoyed.

Dong Yinmiao smiled helplessly and said, "Six people is definitely impossible. Xiao Qiao can't even get into the palace. The moment he enters, the palace guards..."

Dong Yinmiao paused for a moment, then suddenly looked up and met Luo Yuheng's gaze, feeling a sense of sudden enlightenment.

"Could it be Xiao Qiao?"

"Huh?" Zeng Runqin looked at Dong Yinmiao with a puzzled expression and asked, "Xiao Qiao what?"
