Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable-Chapter 1208 - 1118: Female Prime Minister 56

Yin Shuangshuang ultimately declined the goodwill of Great General An and, accompanied by Yan Yi and three others, followed the people sent by the Second Prince to the Second Prince Mansion.

It was the same room, but unlike last time, it was tastefully arranged, without those valuable treasures piled together.

The Second Prince, previously like a lone wolf driven to a dead end, was now full of springtime joy, dressed in comfortable casual attire, and sitting casually in the chair with natural nobility.

Yin Shuangshuang, as before, took a step forward and respectfully performed a formal greeting.

"This humble woman congratulates the Second Prince on the dragon emerging from the abyss, escaping the plight."

The corners of the Second Prince’s eyes were filled with laughter as he looked at Yin Shuangshuang, appearing quite pleased.

"All this is thanks to the fortune you’ve brought. If it weren’t for your excellent strategy, I wouldn’t have been able to overthrow my dear brother so quickly.

Goddess, you truly are my lucky star. I wonder if you would be willing to advise me in the future."

"The Second Prince wants me to be your strategist?" Yin Shuangshuang asked, her smile unchanged.

The smile on the Second Prince’s face deepened: "For a woman, the most important thing is marital affairs. A woman like you is different from ordinary women; marrying an ordinary man would be a pity.

But I am different; I am a prince. I can promise you, if you are willing, you can be my main wife. If I rise higher in the future, you will be the mother of a nation, respected by all."

The Second Prince’s smile was filled with determination; no woman could resist the allure of such a supreme position.

Yin Shuangshuang chuckled softly: "Second Prince, do you think the women in your inner court can contend with me?"

The Second Prince frowned: "What do you mean?"

"I have a strong possessive nature and dislike sharing, whether it’s possessions or my future husband. I would never allow my husband to have other women.

The Second Prince should have witnessed my means, and if I were to use my skills, no woman would be able to match me.

More importantly, I dislike dealing with women’s troubles. If my husband cannot maintain purity and betrays me, I would rather destroy him."

The Second Prince was shocked by Yin Shuangshuang’s bold statements; he had never heard a woman speak such wayward jealousy so rightfully and justifiably.

This left the Second Prince somewhat unable to accept: "A woman should uphold virtues like chastity and kindness, love her husband and raise children. How can you say such scandalous words."

Yin Shuangshuang couldn’t help but laugh: "Second Prince, if I were a woman who adhered to the three obediences and four virtues, it wouldn’t be the Eldest Prince failing rebellion and being captured now; it would be you.

Second Prince, not every woman’s lifetime dream is to marry a man and have children. I was not born to be a virtuous wife and loving mother. The man I want must yield and comply with my words.

To those women who adhere to the three obediences and four virtues, the role of main wife might be a temptation; to me, it’s merely an insult."

"You... you’re arrogant! Daring to say that becoming my main wife is an insult, truly impudent to the extreme!" The Second Prince was angered by Yin Shuangshuang’s words, his face flushed red, and he couldn’t help but stand up to rebuke her.

Yin Shuangshuang was completely unfazed by the Second Prince’s anger, her smile slightly cooling: "Why, is the Second Prince angry? I was also quite angry at the things you said just now.

I know the Second Prince doesn’t truly like me; you merely wish to bind me to your side for future use.

But to me, wealth and glory are not as precious as freedom. If you seek to confine me in the inner court, you become my enemy, and I am not someone to sit and wait for fate.

The Emperor has many sons, and I don’t necessarily have to choose you, Second Prince. You’ve seen my capabilities, and do you think I could successfully gain the trust of other princes and become another prince’s strategist?"

The Second Prince looked at Yin Shuangshuang with a sullen face, tightly pursed lips, saying nothing.

But he knew in his heart that what Yin Shuangshuang said was true. If she indeed defected to others, such as the Third Prince, she would inevitably become his formidable adversary.

Seeing the Second Prince no longer speaking, Yin Shuangshuang didn’t continue with unpleasant words. Although the Second Prince was like a dying cicada, destined to be dealt with by the Emperor sooner or later.

Yet, if she offends him too harshly now, it would be vexing if he created obstacles during his remaining time.

Moreover, the Second Prince was an offspring of the Emperor; without committing a grave crime like rebellion, the Emperor would at most strip his powers, leaving him an ordinary prince.

So, Yin Shuangshuang softened her tone: "My grandfather is Wang Zhongxuan; he is your person, Second Prince. Everyone in the Capital City knows this, and I, being his granddaughter, am naturally on your side.

If I were to defect, it would consume a lot of energy, and I’m not someone who enjoys trouble. So, the Second Prince needn’t worry about me turning to others.

For now, the relationship between you and me is just right. If the Second Prince seeks advice from me, I will certainly do my utmost to help.

Why must you insist on confining me to your inner court, causing me to harbor resentful energy, which would backfire against you?"

Yin Shuangshuang gave a way out, but now the Second Prince was wary, worried she would truly defect to another. Moreover, unwilling to let go of such an acutely intelligent person who could help him strategize.

He feared forcing Yin Shuangshuang into his inner court might indeed irritate her, turning her against him.

When her means were used against others, the Second Prince felt quite satisfied, but if turned against himself, the thought alone sent chills down his spine.

Thus, the Second Prince had no choice but to swallow his anger, descend the provided step, exchange some harmless pleasantries with Yin Shuangshuang, and then let her leave the Second Prince Mansion. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Yin Shuangshuang knew that after today’s encounter, although the Second Prince yielded in the end, she had also offended him.

However, Yin Shuangshuang didn’t care. Whether Wang Zhongxuan lived or died was no longer within the Second Prince’s control; it depended on the Emperor’s will.

The handling of Wang Zhongxuan ultimately rested with the Emperor, beyond the control of the Second Prince. Initially unable to protect Wang Zhongxuan, now the Second Prince couldn’t determine Wang’s fate either.

When Yin Shuangshuang went out, it started to rain. With no intention of staying in the Second Prince Mansion, she had to hurry through the rain to reach her carriage.

Her clothes were soaked, and not expecting rain today, Yin Shuangshuang hadn’t brought spare clothes, giving her a bad feeling. Indeed, upon returning, Yin Shuangshuang fell ill.
