Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Chapter 426 World 745

There was no need for the palace servants to announce her arrival; Yinyin went inside on her own.

"If Consort Shu continues to scold me a few more times, I will also be told to go back and learn a thing or two from my father, and also receive a few more rewards in return."

The palace servants attending to Consort Shu became nervous, unsure of what to say.

Although Consort Shu felt a little guilty, she quickly turned her head away, deliberately snorted, sat down on the couch, and ignored Yin Yin.

Yinyin didn't even look at the broken things on the ground. She walked over and sat down next to Consort Shu, casually calling out, "Bring a bowl of sweet soup. Consort Shu should have something sweet on her lips and a sweet feeling on her heart right now."

While waiting for the sweet soup, Consort Shu refused to look at Yin Yin, and did not want to say a word to her.

Yinyin was happy to be free and take a break.

As Yin Yin had requested, the sweet soup was placed in front of Consort Shu.

Seeing that Consort Shu was about to slap it over, Yin Yin quickly stopped her: "Your Highness, please be careful, don't waste it."

"You all get out."

Seeing that all the palace maids listened to Yin Yin, Consort Shu became even angrier: "All of you, stop right there! If anyone leaves this room, I will kick her out and she will not be allowed to work in Yaoguang Palace!"

Yin Yin smiled and said, "If Consort Shu wishes to let them hear what I am about to say, then so be it."

Consort Shu then glanced at her and tacitly allowed the palace servant to leave.

"You've come here to apologize to me, carrying thorns on your back?"

"Apologize?" Yin Yin feigned surprise. "Is Consort Shu possessed, or has she truly taken Consort De's words to heart and sees herself as the future Empress Dowager?"

Before Consort Shu could refute, she seized on the key point in Consort De's words: "What Consort De said?"

Seeing her outwardly strong but inwardly weak appearance, Yin Yin said, "Of course it was those words from Consort De that stirred up your thoughts."

Why don't you guess how I found out about this?

Consort Shu suddenly shivered, clearly already having guessed, but dared not say it aloud, and still stubbornly said: "How would I know who you heard it from?"

Yinyin laughed and bluntly exposed, "Come on, you know perfectly well what's going on, you just don't want to admit it."

"Didn't you learn the story of 'covering one's ears while stealing a bell' before, and even told me about it? How come you've become the one who's covering his ears while stealing a bell yourself?"

Consort Shu's eyes were filled with panic as she abruptly stood up: "I knew Consort De was up to no good. This time, I'll make her pay!"

“Go ahead, go ahead. They only said a few words. Do you think they'll accept it if you go?” Yin Yin was unwilling to stop her even as she got up. “I don’t believe you didn’t see that she had ill intentions.”

"In the end, you're just unwilling to accept it."

"She gave you a reason, and you pretended to fall for it, using it as an excuse to make trouble."

Consort Shu stopped in her tracks, her anger and embarrassment at having her thoughts exposed: "Are you even my niece? Why do you have to go against me like this!"

"Whether you want to oppose me or try to stop me from taking the Sixth Prince into a pit and dying, you know the answer in your heart," Yin Yin didn't want to persuade her. Consort Shu had been in the palace for so many years and had seen more than she had.

The reason she came here was simply to put an end to Consort Shu's hopes and prevent her from doing anything reckless again, relying on having her as a niece.

“You are my own niece, Xiao Liu’s cousin. Now that Xiao Liu is better, wouldn’t you be even better off?”

Consort Shu still wanted to persuade Yin Yin.

“It can’t get any better than it is now,” Yin Yin said coldly. “Listen, I’m only saying this once, whether you listen or not, it’ll still be the same.”

"I'm usually quite busy, so I don't really have time to visit you. Let's meet at the palace banquet instead."

After Yinyin finished speaking, she bowed and walked out.

"Stop right there!" Consort Shu took two steps after her, but she couldn't outrun Yin Yin.

When she got to the door, Yinyin had already disappeared.

Consort Shu was so angry she was jumping up and down, but she didn't dare to chase after him and become a laughingstock.

Not far from the Yaoguang Palace, Yinyin saw the Sixth Prince peeking around.

She pretended not to notice and prepared to leave.

The Sixth Prince whispered, "Sister Yinyin, how is my mother? Is she able to see anyone right now?"

Yin Yin's lips twitched: "Can't you just come out and ask me directly?"

“Alright,” the Sixth Prince coughed and stood up straight as he spoke, “I was just afraid that my mother would find out and make me chant sutras, so I didn’t dare let the people of Yaoguang Palace see me.”

Yinyin didn't know what to say to him for a moment: "You could try to persuade your aunt now."

“Then forget it,” the Sixth Prince said. “Mother Consort can only get close to her when she’s in a good mood.”

"Sister Yinyin, you go ahead and do what you need to do. I'll wait a bit longer."

Yinyin didn't try to persuade her, and turned to leave the palace.

As soon as she entered the princess's residence, the steward came to report to her: "You just left today, and the Liu family sent a message to the prince consort, telling him that he must go there."

"The Prince Consort did go, but he came back quite early, and as soon as he got back, he locked himself in his study and didn't even have lunch. The young master went to invite him himself, but he didn't open the door."

It's not strange that Liu Cheng went to his study to paint after returning from the Liu family, but it's a big problem that the children couldn't call him out for a meal.

Yinyin was suddenly reminded of Consort Shu's affair, and a shadow fell over her heart.

She walked to the study door and knocked: "Second Brother, it's me who's back."

After a while, Liu Cheng came to open the door and let her in.

As soon as Yinyin entered the door, Liu Cheng hugged her tightly.

"Yinyin," Liu Cheng's voice was somewhat muffled, carrying a rare melancholy.

"What's wrong?" Yin Yin hugged him back and patted his back gently, deliberately saying, "Who bullied you? Tell me, and I'll go and get revenge on them."

Liu Cheng shook his head, and after a long while said, "Yinyin, there is something extremely important, but I only have a premonition and no evidence. Do you think I should be presumed innocent?"

"That depends on what kind of thing it is," Yinyin stepped back a little, cupped his face, and saw the unease and hesitation in his eyes.

Yinyin said firmly, "If it's a trivial matter that doesn't concern us, it's best to pretend we don't see it. But if it's a major matter that involves confiscating property and exterminating a family, we must nip it in the bud."

Liu Cheng gave a wry smile: "Yinyin, you guessed it?"

His question put Yin Yin's mind at ease.

“I just have some doubts, but I know you too well,” Yin Yin said. “In the end, it’s just that we’re a couple who are on the same wavelength.”

"Tell me, what did you find wrong?"
