Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

"Cough cough cough..."

Yuan Jie couldn't help but cough a few times, never expecting to see what was happening before his eyes.

If I had known it would turn out like this, I should have covered my eyes immediately.

Unfortunately, it's too late now.

Yuan Jie then respectfully bowed to Qin Yu.

No need for formalities.

Qin Yu didn't care about Yuan Jie's opinion at all, after all, he had been working in the princess's residence for a long time.

However, when Yuan Jie recalled the things that Qin Yu and Mo Yun had done before, he felt that they were perfectly normal.

When Qin Yu returned to the courtyard.

Unexpectedly, Kong Hong and Lin Muxuan had already arrived in front of Qin Yu.

The two got along quite well, which surprised Qin Yu. She had thought they would have some conflicts in the mansion, but they didn't.

"Your Highness, we've found something interesting. Would you like to see it?"

Qin Yu was a little surprised to hear something interesting, and looked up at Kong Hong and Lin Muxuan.

Unexpectedly, the two people handed Qin Yu a cricket directly.

Qin Yu frowned, surprised that the two of them were so childish.

But that doesn't matter.

Qin Yu then turned her attention to Kong Hong and decided to stay overnight in his courtyard.

"I will stay in your courtyard tonight."

Kong Hong stiffened. Was Qin Yu serious?

As soon as Qin Yu said this, Yuan Jie, Mo Yun, and Lin Muxuan all turned their attention to Qin Yu, but quickly looked away without saying a word.

Meanwhile, rumors were circulating in the capital that Qin Yu doted on his guards and had improper dealings with them.

When Qin Yu learned of this, she remained calm and composed, standing there in place.

"Your Highness, do you not intend to deal with these rumors circulating in the capital?"

Lin Muxuan couldn't help but ask Qin Yu, but unexpectedly Qin Yu replied with a question.

"Why should I deal with it? I do indeed dote on Mo Yun, but what good will it do?"

Unexpectedly, Qin Yu actually took the initiative to admit it, which shows that Qin Yu really cares about the guard beside him.

Time passed second by second, and there was a person standing next to Qin Yu.

When Qin Yu looked up, he saw that the spies he had sent out had returned.

"Your Highness, we have investigated the matter thoroughly. There is indeed some connection between the Prince and Young Master Leng."

Upon suddenly hearing about the connection between Qin Yu and Young Master Leng, Qin Yu's expression darkened.

"Why don't you tell me what kind of connection exists between them? I'm quite curious."

As soon as he finished speaking, the scout told Qin Yu.

"Their collaboration doesn't seem very rigorous; it's just a bunch of odds and ends."

Several large question marks appeared above Qin Yu's head.

"I don't quite understand what you mean."

"They were just talking about Her Highness the Princess."

The scout then informed Qin Yu that the prince had always been protecting the princess.

So that's how it is, Qin Yu suddenly realized.

However, no matter what the prince did, Qin Yu had no interest in serving him.

After all, this person had overthrown the dynasty in his previous life.

"Alright, you may leave."

Qin Yu waved his hand, and after the scout went down, he naturally returned to the Prince Yu's residence and informed Cheng Qixia.

He told Qin Yu what he said, and Cheng Qixia smiled, hoping to establish a good image in Qin Yu's mind.

"Don't worry, as long as you stay by my side, the day I marry the princess will be your time to rise to prominence."

The spy in front of him naturally nodded.

The two of them are now on the same boat.

This person has nowhere to retreat; they can only keep going.

"You should stay by Qin Yu's side during this time. Also, are Qin Yu and Mo Yun really that close?"

The guard naturally answered Cheng Qixia's question, confirming that the relationship between Mo Yun and Qin Yu was indeed as rumored.

"Your Highness need not worry too much. Mo Yun is ultimately just a guard."

This person's status isn't particularly prestigious, and it's clear that there's no way Mo Yun and Mo Yun could end up together.

Even if Qin Yu were to find a partner, it would undoubtedly be this prince before her.

"I like what you're saying right now. Here's a reward of one thousand taels of silver for you."

The guard was overjoyed to see the heavy silver in his hand.

After all, what this bodyguard wanted was money, fame, and fortune.

After that, Cheng Qixia went to find Leng Xiucheng.

The reason I found Leng Xiucheng is because there's something I want to discuss with him.

"I remember that the Flower Festival is coming soon, and you and the princess can meet on the Magpie Bridge then."

What is the Magpie Bridge? It is a place for lovers to meet in secret.

"Your Highness, I am of no use to Her Highness anymore, and she no longer sees me. Can I really win her heart?"

"Have you never heard the saying, 'Old feelings are hard to forget'?"

For some reason, Leng Xiucheng felt for a moment that Cheng Qixia was trying to fool him.

Leng Xiucheng's eyes dimmed slightly.

"It is my fault that I have disappointed Your Highness."

Cheng Qixia looked at Leng Xiucheng, thought about it carefully, and decided to put the matter aside for now.

"May I ask you, has this princess and her guards always been so intimate?"

"I remember that Her Highness the Princess and her guards seemed to be..."

Leng Xiucheng needs to think this over carefully.

After all, this matter happened a long, long time ago.

"I recall that when Her Highness woke up from her poisoning, this was the guard that Her Highness valued highly."

It seems that from that day onwards, the princess's attitude towards Leng Xiucheng changed.

"However, according to what I understand, this princess does seem to have feelings for the guards beside her."

As for how deep those feelings were, Leng Xiucheng had no idea.

The more Leng Xiucheng said this, the more Cheng Qixia felt she had to get rid of Mo Yun.

Only after eliminating this person will Qin Yu perhaps go and see the others.
