Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 1196: Chapter 1106: Female Prime Minister 44

Yin Shuangshuang’s words made Mrs. Wang pause; although she was worried about her father, she hadn’t considered sending her daughter on a dangerous rescue mission.

No matter how clever her daughter was, or how acute her sense for political matters of the court, she knew this kind of task wasn’t easy.

”Shuangshuang, it’s heartening to know your intent, but such a thing cannot be accomplished merely with intent.

You don’t need to go, I’m thinking that I should be the one to go to the Capital City. If, by chance, he’s released, I’ll bring him back to care for him.

And if unfortunately, it ends with the Emperor beheading him, then that’s fate, and I’ll transport his remains back for burial, fulfilling my duty as a daughter.”

Yin Shuangshuang shook her head; Mrs. Wang was oversimplifying the matter, it was not that simple.

If Wang Zhongxuan suffers total defeat and the Emperor orders his execution, once he’s dead, his political foes won’t bother with a deceased man.

But if the Emperor grants clemency to Wang Zhongxuan, his political enemies absolutely won’t allow him to leave the Capital City alive.

They will undoubtedly use all means to assassinate Wang Zhongxuan, making the journey back perilous.

Going to retrieve Wang Zhongxuan would expose Mrs. Wang to danger alongside him, a scenario Yin Shuangshuang finds unacceptable.

”Mother, neither of you should go. Trust me, I will take Yan Yi and others to the Capital City, while Yun Yi and others will stay home.”

Yin Shuangshuang’s tone was resolute, leaving no room for refusal. Mrs. Wang spoke a few more lines but, seeing as Yin Shuangshuang was unwavering, she no longer insisted.

In Mrs. Wang’s mind, with Yin Shuangshuang being her daughter, whether she goes herself or Shuangshuang goes to the Capital City made little difference, unaware of the potential dangers involved.

She merely thought it was a simple matter: going to the Capital City to await news, bringing him back if lucky, or bringing his remains back if unlucky.

Yin Zheng, although intelligent, lacked education in the political system of this era and did not understand the dangers. Seeing Mrs. Wang cease opposition, he chose to support it.

Yin Shuangshuang’s plan to leave could not be kept secret. Yin Shuangshuang did not disclose her purpose for going to the Capital City, so acquaintances merely came to give her items.

The County Magistrate’s Wife and the County Magistrate came over to give Yin Shuangshuang many useful items for the journey, including a beautiful carriage from the County Magistrate’s Wife.

Ying Chang’an ran over, felt Yin Shuangshuang’s pulse, ensured her robust health for the arduous trip, and provided her with various medicinal pills.

He advised her on what to take for wellness and discomfort, covering all aspects before returning to his large village home to continue his medicinal studies.

Mr. Nameless, with his sharp mind, was the first to suspect Yin Shuangshuang’s true purpose for going to the Capital City. Given the political upheaval with Wang Zhongxuan’s downfall, it wasn’t a good time for any visit.

Finding Yin Shuangshuang reading, sipping tea, and petting a cat in the bamboo garden of the bookstore, Mr. Nameless seated himself directly across from her.

Without courtesy, he poured himself tea, his actions lacking the demeanor of a master; he was thirsty from circling around to find Yin Shuangshuang.

After quenching his thirst, Mr. Nameless straightforwardly asked, ”Going to the Capital City at such a sensitive time, what exactly are you planning to do?”

Yin Shuangshuang did not conceal her intentions from Mr. Nameless, the former Prime Minister. He would eventually know, and it wasn’t shameful or unspoken, so she briefly explained the circumstances.

Mr. Nameless furrowed his brows tightly after hearing it, too preoccupied to be surprised that Mrs. Wang was indeed the Prime Minister’s daughter; he stood up, pacing agitatedly, rubbing his forehead.

Turning back, he irritably remarked to Yin Shuangshuang, ”Do you realize the dangers you’ll face by going?

This matter isn’t simple, with no conclusions drawn yet. The battle for Wang Zhongxuan to keep his last foothold while his foes wish to utterly defeat Wang Zhongxuan remains ongoing.

Once you enter the Capital City, one misstep exposing your ties with Wang Zhongxuan can provide an opening for those aiming against him.

You’ll face countless threats—arrows, bullets—and even if you rescue him from the Heavenly Prison, where could you possibly take him?

No matter the location, as long as he lives, his supporters won’t dissolve completely, and his political foes won’t spare him.”

Yin Shuangshuang gave a bitter smile, fully aware of the risks but wishing to avoid leaving Mrs. Wang with regret.

Pouring another cup of tea for Mr. Nameless, smiling, she said, ”He is my mother’s father; had I been unaware, I might have left things alone, but knowing this connection, I cannot ignore it.

Furthermore, there might still be a chance. If I can truly rescue him, ensuring a safe return, we could preserve his life.

This place falls under General Feng’s domain, trusted by the Emperor. Delving into his domain here touches border military authority, which the Emperor won’t tolerate.

And General Feng owes my maternal grandfather a favor. When General Feng faced issues with military grain, my grandfather insisted on supplying additional resources, turning the tide from defeat to victory at the border.

Given this favor, if I can safely bring him back, General Feng might be willing to offer protection.”

”Even if General Feng feels indebted and agrees to preserve him, the journey back poses immense danger. How can you guarantee absolute security? You risk everything, saving neither him nor yourself.”

For Mr. Nameless, optimistic scenarios envisioned by Yin Shuangshuang fell short; dodging dangers on the return journey proved challenging.

Yin Shuangshuang sighed helplessly, ”We’ll take it step by step. When we reach the mountain, there’ll be a way; there must be a solution.”

Sharing the same concerns, Mr. Nameless, given his sensitive status, couldn’t employ former associates nor return to the Capital City.

Accompanying Yin Shuangshuang to the Capital City could have deterred adversaries, given the Emperor’s protection of his standing.

Unfortunately, his previous exodus came with a decree forbidding any return to the Capital within his lifetime. Returning would cause greater trouble than Yin Shuangshuang’s mission.

No matter how much Mr. Nameless ever worried, three days later, Yin Shuangshuang set off for the Capital City accompanied by Yan Yi and the Yan Team.

Yin Shuangshuang bade farewell to an emotional Mrs. Wang and Yin Zheng, departing in the carriage, leaving town.

Just past the town gates, Yin Shuangshuang spotted a familiar figure approaching on horseback from a distance.
