Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

"Your Highness, my arm was injured by Her Highness the Princess."

? ?

Several large question marks were above Cheng Qixia's head.

"You just went to the princess's residence, and the princess injured you? Did the princess discover your existence?"

Upon hearing Cheng Qixia's words, the assassin nodded slightly, indicating that he had only been staying in the attic when Qin Yu discovered him.

A leaf flew towards Qin Yu, and because he couldn't react in time, he was successfully injured by the leaf.

For some reason, the assassin felt a little aggrieved at that moment.

Cheng Qixia saw this and patted the assassin on the shoulder, telling him that some things cannot be rushed and must be done slowly.

"Let me give you a heads-up: you must drug Mo Yun when he's not looking. Besides, this drug is colorless and odorless even if you put it in the water. Can't you just go to Mo Yun's room?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the assassins suddenly realized that they hadn't thought of this before, but Cheng Qixia's reminder had brought it to their attention.

"This poison is colorless and odorless; even if you were to ingest it now, you wouldn't be able to detect it."

Moreover, this poison slowly invades the internal organs.

Inside the princess's residence, Qin Yu sensed someone outside. She immediately went to Yuan Jie. Yuan Jie arrived in front of Qin Yu, knelt down with a thud, and respectfully inquired about her.

"Your Highness, you...?"

Before Yuan Jie could finish speaking, Qin Yu told him to go back inside and gather the guards from the princess's residence.

"During this time, you will diligently patrol the area surrounding the Princess's residence. If you encounter anyone unusual, arrest them and bring them before me."

Upon hearing Qin Yu's words, he naturally understood that someone had definitely come to the princess's residence.

Yuan Jie was particularly curious about who would be so bold as to come to the princess's residence to cause trouble. Could it be that he had lived too long in the past?

Mo Yun walked in from outside, carrying the pastries that Qin Yu had requested. Qin Yu glanced at the pastries in Mo Yun's hand and asked Mo Yun to place them beside her.

"I am particularly interested to know whether any envoys from the neighboring country attended today's court assembly."

Upon hearing Qin Yu's words, Yuan Jie pondered for a moment and then told Qin Yu that it seemed the envoy from the neighboring country had not attended today's court assembly.

Qin Yu frowned, looked up at the sky, and pondered for a moment.

According to the timeline, the envoy from the neighboring country should have arrived here by now, so why has he not yet come to pay his respects?

"I don't know why, but for a moment I felt that there was something fishy going on."

"It's not just Her Highness who thinks this way; even I share the same opinion. Should I send someone to investigate this matter secretly?"

These words were spoken by Yuan Jie.

As luck would have it, Lin Muxuan happened to be passing by and told Qin Yu that he wanted to go back and see his father.

"Are you going back to see the governor now? Why?"

"I received news from home today that my father has fallen ill due to overwork. I am somewhat worried and wish to return to visit him. I hope Your Highness will grant me permission."

The governor's illness truly surprised Qin Yu.

After all, the governor had always been in very good health, so why was he sick now? Qin Yu suddenly remembered that there was a divine physician in the Shadow Pavilion.

"Ruohua, go to the Shadow Pavilion and invite the divine physician to me. Then, have Young Master Lin take the divine physician back."

Upon hearing Qin Yu's words, Lin Ruohua fell into deep thought. In truth, Lin Ruohua did not want to return to the Shadow Pavilion at all, because she would have to see her there.

Mo Yun understood Qin Yu's thoughts, but wondered why Qin Yu was so kind-hearted.

It's unclear when it started, but Qin Yu seems to have changed; he's no longer as violent as before.

Qin Yu, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, for reasons unknown.

Qin Yu saw through Mo Yun's thoughts and couldn't help but ponder them for a while. It seemed that she had indeed changed, and the reason for the change seemed to be due to things from her past life.

If I continue to be as reckless as I was in my previous life, I'll probably end up with the same fate in this life.

Heaven has given Qin Yu another chance to be reborn, so how could Qin Yu possibly waste it?

"Does Ruohua not want to go?"

Yuan Jie intended to step forward and replace Lin Ruohua, but Mo Yun glanced at him and Yuan Jie said nothing more. Lin Ruohua gritted her teeth in the end.

"If I am willing to go to the Shadow Pavilion, I will bring this divine physician back as quickly as possible."

A gust of wind brushed Qin Yu's face, and Qin Yu looked Lin Ruohua up and down.

After Lin Ruohua left, Qin Yu muttered to herself.

"There are some things she will eventually have to face."

Some people didn't understand Qin Yu's meaning, but Mo Yun did, and Mo Yun responded to Qin Yu.

"I'm sure Miss Lin will understand."

Qin Yu couldn't help but tease Mo Yun.

"You're becoming more and more adept at responding to my words."

After turning his head to take another look, Lin Muxuan told Lin Muxuan to go back first.

"Once the divine physician arrives at my palace, he will come to see you. You can then take him home."

After all, Lin Muxuan was a member of the Princess's household, and Qin Yu did this so that the world could see how much Qin Yu valued the Governor.

"Your Highness, I am somewhat confused as to why you want Miss Lin to return to the Shadow Pavilion. Is there a connection between Miss Lin and the Shadow Pavilion Master?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yu looked up at Yuan Jie and made a shushing gesture.

"You will learn these things later, but I don't want to explain them too much right now."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Jie realized that he had asked too many questions, and he knelt down on the ground with a thud.

"I know I was wrong, and I will not ask any more questions in the future."

"It's alright, you just need to do what I just told you well."

"Your Highness, please rest assured, I will certainly handle these matters well. Your Highness, please don't worry."

During this period, it must be that someone wanted to harm the princess's residence. Otherwise, why would Qin Yu have asked him to increase the manpower?

"Guard Mo, do you think the envoy from the neighboring country has arrived here yet?"

Qin Yu looked up and asked Mo Yun. When Mo Yun heard this, he fell into deep thought, unsure how to answer Qin Yu.
