Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Chapter 276 World 428

"Did you remember something?" The Queen stared at her intently, not wanting to miss the slightest change in her expression.

“It seems I guessed right,” Yin Yin said, taking the Empress’s hand. “I know you’re angry because of me, sister. Although I don’t know exactly what happened, if he doesn’t even care about the world he lives in and only cares about romance, then what charm does he have that can attract me to like him?”

“By the way,” Yin Yin said when she saw that the Empress was silent, “Sister just mentioned ‘these,’ does that mean that besides him, there is someone else who is like that?”

"I remember when we were at the castle, the head maid said that you received a message from your lord and went east. Who is this lord? You're in this world now, have you found someone?"

"We were originally talking about your affairs, but now you're even asking me about them," the Empress said irritably. "As expected, you're still you. Even without memories, you still use the same old methods."

“If it works, that’s all that matters,” Yin Yin said, taking advantage of the situation. “If you don’t want to talk to me, why don’t you tell me about things related to my memories? I’m curious.”

This time, the Queen was silent for a while before saying, "Some things, once forgotten, are simply forgotten. Didn't you say that starting over would bring only beauty? Let me tell you about what you asked earlier."

It seems something bad happened.

Yinyin blinked and obediently changed the subject.

Unfortunately, the Queen had barely begun speaking when a commotion suddenly broke out outside, and the noise seemed to be getting louder and louder.

The female official standing nearby quickly went out to see what was going on: "Making such a racket in the palace, what kind of behavior is this!"

A palace attendant quickly replied, "They say a thief has broken in, and the Imperial Guards would like to request permission to search the place."

The lady-in-waiting returned and reported as follows.

The Empress snorted coldly: "Search? It seems I'm getting old, and no one takes my words seriously anymore. Every Tom, Dick, and Harry wants to show off their abilities. Anyone who dares to trespass on Ganquan Palace will be killed. Anyone who besieges the palace will be killed."

The female official went down to give instructions, but Yin Yin sensed something was wrong.

It's likely true that the player wanted to enter the palace to find the Empress Dowager's treasures because of a quest, but these imperial guards who tried to barge in without prior notice certainly didn't have good intentions either. And who else but the Emperor could mobilize these imperial guards and cause such a scene outside Ganquan Palace?

In a flash, Yin Yin sorted out these complicated thoughts: "This emperor certainly has some ideas."

"A country cannot have two rulers, so he will naturally have his own thoughts," the Empress said, her coldness still evident. "When a pet dares to scratch its owner, it may be amusing, but it still needs to be taught a lesson."

The Empress's gaze fell on Yin Yin: "Yin Yin, stay in this world a little longer, and I'll give you the little emperor's throne to play with?"

"Sister, just do it yourself," Yin Yin said. She wasn't a queen before, and she could handle the things that needed to be done. But she had no feelings for this world, so why bother?

The Empress didn't take it to heart: "Then I'll ascend the throne myself and make you the eldest princess. You won't have to go out then; you can just stay in the palace with me."

The Empress made up her mind and immediately gave the order.

However, overnight, players discovered that the throne had been taken by a different person.

As for the young emperor who originally wanted to send the Imperial Guards to probe into Ganquan Palace and, under the pretext of colluding with traitors, try to eliminate a few of Ganquan Palace's henchmen, he was now filled with regret.

Why couldn't he have been the emperor himself? Why did he have to challenge his mother's authority? Now he's a deposed emperor, and his whole family is crammed into a small palace, living in constant fear as they await the new emperor's fate.

The Empress didn't care what they thought; she was only concerned with making her coronation ceremony and Yin Yin's investiture grand enough.

Before the investiture, Yin Yin's residence, Chang Le Palace, welcomed several guests.

Old Fatty gave a thumbs up: "I admire very few people, but Sister Yinyin, you are definitely one of the most admirable."

"Sister Yinyin, why don't you start a class? Go to a strange world and become a princess of a country from an undocumented person. As long as you start a class, I'll pay any amount of money to sign up. I bet if word gets out, people will be lining up to wear down your door."

Yan'er's eyes were also full of admiration: "Old Fatty was right this time. Yinyin, you are really amazing, and so is the Empress Dowager. I never thought I would see an empress ascend the throne in the Zero Degree instance! This is the Zero Degree instance!"

"Luck, it's all luck," Yin Yin couldn't very well say that she was different from them and was a guaranteed admission contestant. She could only say, "It's just that I had a good background when I entered the competition, otherwise I wouldn't have the opportunities I have now."

Old Fatty and Yan'er spoke at the same time: "Luck is also a part of strength."

Seeing that the two were about to continue talking, Yinyin quickly shifted her gaze to Xie Yong, who hadn't said a word.

"Why do you look unhappy? Don't you want me to be the eldest princess?"

"No," Xie Yong winked at the other two, then pulled Yin Yin a few steps into the inner room. "Your Highness is quite fortunate. I heard the Empress bestowed upon you an all-male song and dance troupe?"

"Oh dear, whose jealousy has been spilled?" Yinyin waved her hand in front of her nose, pretending to sniff around, before finally fixing her gaze on Xie Yong. "Oh, it's mine!"

Yinyin's act made Xie Yong, who had been keeping a straight face, unable to maintain his facade any longer.

Finally, he had no choice but to give up and hug Yin Yin, saying, "You're not allowed to look at them."

“That might not work,” Yin Yin said. “Their performance was really good. I won’t be able to see it again when I get back. I should enjoy it while I can.”

“If you’re unhappy,” Yinyin said provocatively, “why don’t you go find the treasure to clear the level first?”

"You wait here," Xie Yong said without saying anything more, and turned to leave with full fighting spirit.

After they left, the Queen came in from outside: "What a rascal."

"However, no matter how they searched, they couldn't get the results they wanted."

Yinyin was taken aback: "Could it be that my elder sister has swapped the treasures?"

"Of course not," the Queen said, a hint of smugness in her eyes.

“What they are looking for is the Empress Dowager’s treasures, but I am already the Empress. How could they possibly find them?”

"Unless...they succeed in their rebellion and make me Empress Dowager."
