Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 1293: Chapter 1202: Female Chancellor 141

Yin Shuangshuang didn’t want to move, so she directly asked Yan Yi to bring the people over. She would interrogate them herself. After all, she wasn’t an ordinary woman, and there was no women’s boudoir forbidden to men here, only a study.

To Yin Shuangshuang’s surprise, the four people brought in didn’t struggle much. However, upon seeing Yin Shuangshuang, they showed some unexpected expressions.

Yan Yi waved, letting his men roughly toss these people onto the ground. Due to the rough action, the four immediately lost their balance and rolled into a heap.

Yan Yi, without even looking, bent down to salute Yin Shuangshuang and said, ”Sir, here are the four assassins caught today.”

Ying Yi also pointed at one of them, who was dressed the same as the four but had a distinctly different aura, ”Sir, this person is the leader among them.”

After saying this, Ying Yi placed a small bundle on the table in front of Yin Shuangshuang, ”Sir, this was found on this person. Please take a look.”

Yin Shuangshuang ignored the group of four rolling on the ground and instead leisurely opened the bundle, finding it contained some useless items.

A few pieces of broken silver, a fire stick, a nose snuff bottle, an official permit, and a small gold medal.

Yin Shuangshuang picked up the gold medal and studied it for a moment. It was nothing special, just an ordinary gold medal. The items in this bundle really didn’t reveal the identities of these people.

However, the man on the ground who seemed to be the leader had been staring intently at Yin Shuangshuang ever since Yan Yi addressed her as ”sir.”

Yin Shuangshuang frowned at the audacity of this man, who, caught, still had the guts to look at her. To her surprise, she found the man to be exceptionally handsome.

His eyebrows were like distant mountains, his sideburns sharply cut, his phoenix eyes long and narrow, his nose straight and high, and his face stunningly beautiful. Clearly a man, yet possessing a beauty comparable to a woman but still retaining his masculinity.

Such a man could certainly captivate women, but unfortunately, Yin Shuangshuang had no interest in romance. Whether a man was handsome was as indifferent to her as whether a vase was pretty.

And Luo Linlang was someone with a steadfast beloved, so both of them felt nothing at this man’s face.

Luo Linlang looked at the man with disgust. In her heart, Yin Shuangshuang’s standing was higher than Yan Yi’s, so she felt nothing but disdain for those attempting to assassinate Yin Shuangshuang.

Yin Shuangshuang looked at him with a cold, scrutinizing gaze, which made the man somewhat uncomfortable for a moment.

However, the man wasn’t foolish enough to think all women would swoon over his face, even though it was usually quite effective among women.

Seeing Yin Shuangshuang’s unfriendly gaze, he hurriedly spoke, ”Are you Mr. Yin, the Magistrate of Qingyang Prefecture, preparing to enter the capital?”

Yin Shuangshuang raised an eyebrow, thinking that those sent to assassinate her should already know her identity. Judging by his words, this assassin didn’t know who she was. Could it be he wasn’t sent by the aristocratic family? Or maybe there was another trick?

Several thoughts flashed through Yin Shuangshuang’s mind in an instant, but outwardly she remained calm and indifferent, her voice tinged with a bit of coldness, ”Yes, that is me. You came to assassinate me, yet you didn’t even investigate who your target was in advance?”

The man shook his head, ”Mr. Yin, you misunderstand. If we had known that you were on this official boat, I wouldn’t have brought people on board secretly.

Mr. Yin has been away from the capital for a long time, you may not recognize me, but I have long heard your illustrious name. After all, the Emperor often speaks of your unparalleled strategies in front of us.

I am the Sixth Prince. If Mr. Yin doesn’t believe me, you can take the identity gold medal from the inner pocket of my clothes. You are a trusted official of the Emperor, you should be able to recognize the authenticity of this gold medal.”

Sixth Prince? Yin Shuangshuang had no impression, considering when she left the capital, the Sixth Prince was just a young schoolboy.

Back then, Yin Shuangshuang only encountered him once during one of the Emperor’s reviews of the princes’ studies. Her only impression was that the Sixth Prince was exceptionally good-looking, and his concubine mother must have been stunning.

Now, upon careful examination of this man and recollecting the Sixth Prince’s features in her memory, she indeed matched the man’s appearance to the memory of the Sixth Prince.

Although when Yin Shuangshuang left, the Sixth Prince’s features were still youthful, now he had the look of an adult man. Still, there were many similarities, making him not difficult to recognize.

Discovering the man was indeed the Sixth Prince, Yin Shuangshuang hurriedly ordered his bindings be loosened and bowed to apologize, ”So it is the Sixth Prince. It’s all my fault for being disrespectful and offending the Sixth Prince. Please forgive me.”

Yan Yi and Ying Yi also sensed something was amiss and efficiently knelt to apologize. The Sixth Prince was magnanimous, showing no princely arrogance, and with a smile, he waved his hand.

”No harm done. Those who don’t know bear no guilt. It is my fault for boarding the ship stealthily, no wonder Mr. Yin’s men mistook us for thieves.”

”Thank you, Sixth Prince, for your vast understanding.” After thanking the Sixth Prince for his magnanimity, Yin Shuangshuang quickly turned and instructed Yan Yi and Ying Yi.

”Have the men on alert, we will be having unexpected visitors on our ship soon. Pay attention to what’s under the ship and be careful not to let anyone tamper with it; that would be troublesome.”

The sudden appearance of the Sixth Prince here, dressed for night actions and sneaking onto the ship, could only mean he was being pursued. Yin Shuangshuang could think of no other reason.

Sure enough, after Yin Shuangshuang gave her orders, the Sixth Prince promptly reminded her, ”The ones pursuing me are Death Warriors cultivated by the aristocratic families.

Earlier, I was separated from my men due to their pursuit and almost died at their hands. These Death Warriors are extremely powerful, and most importantly, they are fearless of death.

The Death Warriors’ attacks differ from Hidden Guards, as they seek only to harm rather than protect themselves, making them very troublesome. Be careful when confronting them.”

”Thank you, Sixth Prince, for the warning.” Yan Yi and Ying Yi saluted the Sixth Prince and then retreated.

Yin Shuangshuang looked at the Sixth Prince sitting grandly in the main seat and felt a bit of a headache. This Sixth Prince must be on a mission, and the only one who could command him was the Emperor.

Although Yin Shuangshuang only met the Sixth Prince once, she was aware that the Sixth Prince had recently risen to become the Emperor’s most trusted son.

The Sixth Prince, despite his young age, had been entrusted with important responsibilities by the Emperor. The court’s evaluation of the Sixth Prince was that he was a smiling and cold prince, reportedly gentle and without temper, nor did he punish his servants.

Yet, while appearing gentle, this Sixth Prince was particularly harsh when it came to discipline, punishing mistakes without hesitation, never afraid to offend top court officials.

Whether dealing with aristocratic families or the Emperor’s men, if they crossed him, he would show no mercy.

In Yin Shuangshuang’s view, the Sixth Prince was indeed a shrewd person. His actions seemed to offend the entire court’s officials, but in truth, he gained the most important thing—the Emperor’s trust.
