Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

No sooner had he finished speaking than the governor, enraged, slapped Lin Muxuan across the face.

"Incompetent bungler!"

The surrounding officials were startled by the governor at that moment.

Qin Yanling saw the governor's appearance and understood the governor's anger.

But this person turned out to be the one the eldest sister had her eye on.

Then Qin Yanling had to find a way to ease the atmosphere around him.

"Governor, do you perhaps believe that the Princess is not good enough for your son?"

The governor suddenly realized he had misspoke and knelt down with a thud.

"It was a slip of the tongue by Your Majesty. I beg Your Majesty to punish me."

Just now, the governor felt as if he had been possessed by a demon.

What he said was not what he actually wanted to say.

Anger welled up inside him.

He turned to Qin Yu and said, "It is my son's good fortune that Your Highness has taken a liking to him."

Many people wanted to get close to Qin Yu, but Qin Yu didn't even look at them.

Now Qin Yu has taken a fancy to his son, yet he shows no gratitude.

If Qin Yu gets angry, wouldn't it be their governor's mansion that suffers?

They turned their attention to Qin Yu.

Qin Yu waved his hand, indicating that there was no connection.

Now, half of the hunting tournament has passed.

I never expected that the assassins Qin Yu arranged would start attacking Qin Yanling now.

"Escort, escort!"

Qin Yanling looked around at the increasing number of assassins.

They turned their attention to Qin Yu.

“Stand behind me.”

Qin Yu drew his sword.

It seems that Qin Yu miscalculated this time.

I never imagined that these people would actually plan to kill the emperor.

"Your sect leader is dead. Why are you unwilling to obey my orders?"

"Who do you think you are to expect us all to obey your orders? That's wishful thinking."

They all pulled out their weapons and began attacking Qin Yu.

Some of the assassins, upon seeing Qin Yanling, naturally began to deal with him.

Qin Yanling kept backing away from this.

The commander of the National Protection Army rushed forward and rescued the emperor.

The thousand soldiers Qin Yu had arranged to protect the country were now proving useful.

Qin Yu desperately hoped that these soldiers would never be needed, as that would mean that this group of assassins had been tamed.

Qin Yu had a feeling that something was fishy going on.

Because during their previous conversation, Qin Yu could sense that they had submitted to him.

The Minister of Revenue never expected that so many assassins would be unable to harm Qin Yu in the slightest.

The Minister of Revenue's eyes held a hint of coldness.

It seems that I didn't administer enough dosage.

He drugged this group of assassins, meaning that if they didn't obey him, they would only face death.

He is the true leader of the Assassination Pavilion.

The head of this assassination pavilion is nothing more than a front.

Moreover, he has amassed a great deal of gold and silver treasures through the Assassination Pavilion over the years.

But now, because of Qin Yu, it has been directly confiscated.

All the gold and silver treasures obtained were confiscated by Qin Yu.

How could this not infuriate the Minister of Revenue?

Mo Yun cleverly noticed that their lips were bluish.

"Your Highness and the others have been poisoned."

Qin Yu hadn't noticed before, but when she looked down, she was surprised to find that she had indeed been poisoned.

They then sent people to transport the bodies of these assassins back to the palace.

Qin Yu decided to conduct a thorough investigation.

Actually, the Minister of Revenue was particularly curious as to why the man in black that day knew that the Minister of Revenue was the mastermind behind the scenes.

After all, he had been pretending for many years, and logically no one should have noticed.

But now it has been discovered.

Some of the assassins were still alive, but unexpectedly they committed suicide.

"Damn it."

Qin Yu and his group are currently receiving no news whatsoever.

They had hoped to get information from the survivors, but now all of them were dead.

They then discovered that this group of assassins seemed to be from the grove.

Once we've dealt with things here...

Qin Yu walked up to Qin Yanling.

"Your Majesty, this matter was not arranged properly by me."

"My dear sister, we're not related in any way, but at least we're all safe and sound now, aren't we?"

In that instant, Qin Yanling understood Qin Yu's meaning. Qin Yu wanted to test whether this group of assassins were loyal, which was why he arranged for them to protect them. Then, Qin Yu was still not at ease, so he had some members of the National Protection Army pretend to be assassins and stand with them.

More importantly, some people were disguised as eunuchs by Qin Yu, which shows that Qin Yu's methods were indeed quite clever.

Qin Yu stroked his chin, deep in thought.

What should I do next?

For some reason, Qin Yu's intuition told her this.

The person controlling them is a minister in the imperial court.

This person also holds a high position.

If he were truly a minister in the imperial court, Qin Yu would certainly confiscate his property.

As the saying goes, it's another case of making an example of someone, isn't it?

Otherwise, would they even have Qin Yu and Qin Yanling in their sights?

Qin Yu pretended that nothing had happened.

"What happened just now was due to my poor handling of the situation. I apologize to everyone."

Unexpectedly, Qin Yu spoke up personally and even apologized to them all.

These ministers naturally wouldn't make things difficult for Qin Yu.

They all said, "It's alright."

Some people were terrified.

Qin Yu then arranged for the frightened officials to return to their residences.

Afterwards, the Minister of Revenue pretended to be frightened as well, and upon returning to his residence, he did indeed change his clothes.

The Minister of Revenue, dressed entirely in black, went to meet some people.

These people were assassins he personally trained.

"Kill the princess."

The assassins received the answer and naturally nodded.

Afterwards, these people went to the hunting festival.

They are hiding in the shadows.

Fearing that Lin Muxuan might get hurt, Qin Yu immediately sent someone to escort Lin Muxuan back to the princess's residence.

Qin Yu suddenly heard a noise ahead.

They had already arrived at the front, pulling Mo Yun along.

The two arrived at the cliff and saw it.

It feels like someone deliberately lured them here.

Suddenly, four men in black appeared in front of them.

Qin Yu could sense that these black men were the same type of people as the assassins from the Assassination Pavilion.

Didn't she already take care of all the assassination agents?

These people were not the assassins from the princess's residence.

Who sent them?

"Who are you? What is your purpose in coming here?"

Unexpectedly, they attacked Qin Yu and Mo Yun without saying a word.

Qin Yu drew his sword from his waist and worked together with Mo Yun.
