Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

Jiang Yu fanned Qin Yanling to calm him down, saying, "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, we are simply following the precedent set by the late Emperor. Besides, the Prince only brought a hundred guards with him."

"But these hundred men are all experts. If he wants to kill me, he only needs to send half of them."

Jiang Yu immediately knelt down. How could he possibly persuade him to stop such blasphemous talk?

Just then, a young eunuch came in from outside: "Your Majesty, Prince Yu requests an audience."

Qin Yanling panicked even more, running around like a headless fly for a while before suddenly calming down: "Go find my elder sister and take the Prince to the Imperial Garden." There are many people coming and going there, so Cheng Qixia would have to think twice before doing anything.

Jiang Yu personally went to the princess's residence and learned that the eldest princess had gone to the city guard and then went to the city guard again, almost breaking his old legs.

Cheng Qixia and Qin Yanling were in the pavilion in the middle of the lake in the Imperial Garden. Even their closest confidants were more than ten meters away, not daring to disturb their conversation.

Although Qin Yanling was skilled in martial arts, she knew she was no match for the Prince Yu and longed for her elder sister to arrive soon.

"Your Majesty, please don't be nervous. I have important matters to discuss." He wasn't a murderer. This young emperor was still just like when he was a child, still so afraid of him.

"Your Highness, please speak." Qin Yanling tried hard to project the aura of an emperor, but when the words came out, he couldn't help but lower his voice by three points.

"Besides reporting on my duties, I also wish to marry the eldest princess during my trip to the capital. I request Your Majesty's permission to grant us this marriage."

"what!"

Cheng Qixia actually wants to marry the Imperial Sister? He's dreaming! Don't think he doesn't know what Cheng Qixia is up to. The Imperial Sister is more valuable than the city guards. As long as she's there, they can train a second and a third city guard.

However, after his failed attempt to poison his elder sister and put her to sleep, he could sense that her attitude towards him had changed drastically, suggesting that she had discovered something.

Even if the princess were to marry, she would have to maximize her own interests.

"I wonder what kind of betrothal gifts Your Highness will offer? My elder sister is the most noble woman in the Southern Kingdom. I have never thought of marrying her off to a distant place. It would be more appropriate to have her find a husband."

The implication was that if Cheng Qixia wanted to marry the Empress, he would have to stay in the capital and hand over his fiefdom, which he had coveted for a long time.

Cheng Qixia scoffed inwardly. The young emperor was bold but had a big appetite. He was interested in Qin Yu, but not to the point of giving up his fiefdom for her.

"Your Majesty is too kind. I was merely offering a suggestion. After all, the Princess's marriage is ultimately her own decision, isn't it?"

Qin Yanling remained silent.

Both of them felt quite upset, and the meeting ended on bad terms.

Qin Yu had a great time in the martial arts arena. Deputy General Lu and the five squad leaders took turns attacking, but they couldn't do anything to Qin Yu.

Mo Yun got to know a different Qin Yu again.

"Mo Yun, come up here and have some fun."

Deputy General Lu and the five captains looked at each other, wondering if this guard, who looked like a pretty boy, would be suitable.

Qin Yu saw their concerns: "Don't underestimate him. Mo Yun is the top student from the Dark Guard Camp. He learned the art of killing. You don't need to show any mercy."

As for Mo Yun, she had no intention of giving him any instructions; she trusted him.

Mo Yun chose a sword, the most common weapon, while Vice General Lu chose a spear, which was also his specialty: "Guard Mo, please forgive me if I accidentally injure you."

"That's what I wanted to tell you, too."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Yun made the first move, taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness as a tactic.
