Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

"Guard Mo, I am feeling a bit tired. Why don't you ask this prince to leave?"

Mo Yun naturally did as Qin Yu instructed. Mo Yun walked up to Cheng Qixia and gestured for her to enter.

At this moment, Cheng Qixia simply flicked her sleeves and turned to leave without even looking back. Once outside, she waited for Cheng Qixia here. "Why does Your Highness seem to be in such a bad mood? Your Highness was in a very good mood when you came out of the palace just now. Why is it like this all of a sudden?"

"There's no need to ask any more questions here. I'd like to have a drink, and I'd like to go see the Minister of War."

After all, Cheng Qixia had long heard that the Minister of War loved to drink, so now he could have a drinking contest with the Minister of War until they were both completely drunk.

On the other side, Qin Yu instructed Mo Yun to follow Cheng Qixia to see if she had truly returned to the Prince's residence. If not, he was to inform Qin Yu. Mo Yun did as Qin Yu instructed.

At this moment, Lou Yan walked up to Qin Yu and massaged her shoulders. Chunfeng and Yuzhu stood silently to the side, feeling as if they were superfluous.

"Your Highness, isn't this Mo guard your personal bodyguard? Logically speaking, he should be by your side every day, so how come he's just gone like this?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu simply smiled faintly and didn't say anything more. For some reason, Qin Yu always felt that this person was not as simple as he appeared on the surface.

More importantly, Qin Yu always felt that this person was like a spy they had planted next to him, but whether that was true or not still needed to be verified. Even more importantly, Qin Yu couldn't figure out what this person was thinking.

The reason Shangguan Mufeng was able to resist mind-reading was simply because he came from the Penglai Sect.

"Your Highness, please don't look at me like that. I feel a little embarrassed by your gaze."

On the other side, Xu Jiu, trapped in this prejudice, was contemplating whether she should marry Shangguan Mufeng. But then she thought of Shangguan Mufeng, who had previously been Qin Yu's male favorite.

This esteemed male favorite has now become an official and wants to marry her. If this gets out, wouldn't he be laughed out of the public? If this were to spread to other countries, wouldn't the common people of the common people become a laughingstock?

But what's even more important is that Xu Jiu discovered that he couldn't accept anyone except Shangguan Mufeng, which gave him a real headache, since he thought he could accept others.

But in the end, it didn't work. Even if it was the gentle and refined Young Master Xing or the so-called prince of the opposite sex, Xu Jiu had no interest in him.

So many years have passed, and finally someone has captured his heart. After much consideration, Xu Jiu suddenly finds it all rather ridiculous. Meanwhile, an envoy from a neighboring country has already come to find Xu Jiu.

"Your Highness, there is something I wish to inform you of, but it is imperative that everything be done in accordance with..."

Before the envoy from the neighboring country could finish speaking, Xu Jiu lost his temper and told him to get out.

Xu Jiu was well aware of the neighboring country's intentions; they simply hoped that Xu Jiu would marry the current emperor and strive to climb the ranks to become empress.

However, Xu Jiu had no interest in this at all.

Mo Yun had been following Cheng Qixia the whole time, but he was surprised to find that Cheng Qixia had come to the home of the Minister of War. Mo Yun was astonished at that moment, never expecting that Cheng Qixia would come to the home of the Minister of War.

Could it be that the Minister of War is targeting Qin Yu again because of his son? If so, Mo Yun must go back and make a proper plan to ensure that Qin Yu is not assassinated.

At this moment, Cheng Qixia was completely unaware that Mo Yun was following her. Cheng Qixia walked straight into the residence of the Minister of War.

"Your Highness, what brings you here today? You have time to see me."

"I am a little annoyed. I have also heard that you enjoy drinking. I was thinking of asking you for a drink in this capital city. I wonder if you would be willing to do me the honor?"

At this moment, the Minister of War felt a little puzzled. He had never had any interaction with this prince before, so why would the prince come to his residence and personally ask him to drink?

No matter how high this person's position is in the court, it cannot change the fact that he is a prince. As a prince, he naturally has to be respectful. Otherwise, if this gets out, he will be laughed at. Once it reaches the emperor's ears, the emperor will naturally stand up for Cheng Qixia for the sake of the royal family's reputation.

"I am naturally delighted that Your Highness has come to invite me for a drink. Your Highness's visit is quite fitting, as I have recently acquired a pot of fine Daughter's Red wine. Why don't we have a drink together?"

Afterwards, the Minister of War invited Cheng Qixia into the courtyard of the Prince's Mansion. The flowers here were blooming very beautifully, and drinking here would be quite a unique experience. At this time, the Minister of War had the maids bring some dishes from the kitchen to accompany the wine.

"I've been here for so long, how come I haven't seen your son here?"

"My son is currently in confinement. He has offended Her Highness the Princess and should reflect on his mistakes in private."

If that's the case, then it seems that what I investigated was indeed true: the Minister of War's son had fallen out of favor, and the Minister of War's son had also insulted Qin Yu.

"I wonder if you have considered your son's future path."

The Minister of War was instantly shocked by these words, as he had never considered that it concerned his son's future.

"Why don't we find a way to let your son marry the princess? The princess I'm talking about is from a neighboring country. She's currently residing in the capital and is choosing a husband."

The emperor highly values ​​the relationship between neighboring countries and his own. If a marriage were arranged between the two countries, the emperor would likely value it even more because of the princess from the neighboring country.

"If that's the case, your son will surely have a limitless future. I wonder if you, sir, have such thoughts at present?"

If the idea was to arrange a marriage between the two of them, it seemed that Xu Jiu had no interest in Kong Hong at all, especially since Kong Hong and Xu Jiu did not even meet at this banquet.
