Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

"Minister, have you forgotten something? If this princess were to marry your son, His Majesty would value you more, and your position in the court would be greatly enhanced..."

Having overheard these words, Mo Yun returned to the princess's residence and told Qin Yu the whole story. Upon hearing this, Qin Yu immediately crushed the teacup in her hand.

It has to be said that Cheng Qixia's responsibilities are indeed quite extensive. The reason Cheng Qixia does this is simply to win over the Minister of War. The Minister of War has a certain status in the court, and more importantly, he is a veteran of three reigns.

How could I possibly let them have their way?

At this time, Qin Yu went to the palace in person. Xu Jiu was arranged to stay in the Xuehua Hall of the palace, which can be considered the best hall among the side halls.

Qin Yu had already arrived at the palace, and Qin Yanling naturally learned of this news as well. Qin Yanling hurriedly went to see Qin Yu.

"Why did my elder sister come to the palace?"

“I am the eldest princess, and this princess from the neighboring country is also a princess. We are of the same status. I just want to see how this princess from the neighboring country is living in the palace these days.”

Qin Yanling understood. At this time, Prime Minister Xu had already arrived at this place. When Prime Minister Xu arrived, he saw Qin Yu and Qin Yanling chatting.

Prime Minister Xu stood behind them for a while, and only when the two stopped talking did he walk forward as if he had just arrived.

"Greetings, Your Highness; greetings, Your Majesty."

Qin Yu didn't want to have much to do with the prime minister. Afterwards, Qin Yu arrived at Xuehua Palace and saw Xu Jiu there. Xu Jiu was lying on a chair, looking bored, while a palace maid was serving him.

When the palace maids saw Qin Yu arrive, they respectfully bowed to him. Qin Yu simply waved his hand, and the palace maids left.

Xu Jiu opened his eyes and saw Qin Yu's arrival. He stood up and asked Qin Yu, "Your Highness, what brings you here?"

"We are both princesses, so there is no need for such formalities. I have come here simply to ask you why you are unwilling to marry Shangguan Mufeng. I can see that Shangguan Mufeng is deeply in love with you."

“What good is deep affection? It can’t change the fact that this young master Shangguan was once Princess, your male favorite, wasn’t he? Young master Shangguan loved you, not me, in the past.”

Unexpectedly, Qin Yu burst into laughter. Xu Jiu was momentarily frightened by Qin Yu's laughter and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"You don't need to be afraid of me, I won't hurt you, I just have something I want to tell you."

Qin Yu told Xu Jiu that the four of them would only try to resolve the situation based on what they could see with their own eyes.

Xu Jiu was confused and didn't quite understand Qin Yu's meaning, but for some reason, Xu Jiu always felt that Qin Yu was a very difficult person to figure out.

"I don't know why Your Highness is telling me these things."

"I only hope that lovers can be united in the end. Besides, I have never been one to meddle in other people's business. The reason I am telling you these things is because Young Master Shangguan did help me in the past. I am not someone who is ungrateful."

Xu Jiu turned her head and glanced at Qin Yu, looking confused.

"There is one more thing I forgot to tell you. There are many powerful forces in the court who want to marry you. I hope Your Highness will think it over carefully."

When Xu Jiu left his homeland from the neighboring country, his fate was no longer in his own hands. But now Qin Yanling has given Xu Jiu the right to choose for himself, so his fate is now in Xu Jiu's own hands once again.

More importantly, Qin Yu absolutely forbids Xu Jiu from marrying the son of the Minister of War.

It would not allow Cheng Qixia to bribe officials in the imperial court.

Qin Yu was well aware of Cheng Qixia's ambitions, especially since he had no idea what Cheng Qixia had discussed with the Prime Minister and Cheng Qixia a few days ago.

Although he seemed carefree and innocent, Qin Yu knew better than anyone that he was not a good person.

This is why Qin Yu has never considered marrying Cheng Qixia. Cheng Qixia's affection for her is tinged with a degree of manipulation, and Qin Yu hates nothing more than someone using her for personal gain.

Suddenly, Qin Yu wanted to thank God for giving her the ability to read minds. If it weren't for this ability, Qin Yu wouldn't have been able to know what Cheng Qixia was thinking.

The two remained silent, but Mo Yun spoke first. "Princess, it looks like it's going to rain outside. I wonder if you would like to return to your residence?"

Before leaving, Qin Yu turned around and looked at Xu Jiu, telling her to think it over carefully. If Xu Jiu wanted to see Shangguan Mufeng, she could come to the princess's residence to find Qin Yu.

Although Shangguan Mufeng does hold a position in the imperial court, he does not have his own residence and continues to live in his original mansion.

"Your Highness, why are you here helping Princess Shangguan and this princess from a neighboring country? Is it truly out of guilt?"

Mo Yun couldn't help but ask Qin Yu, but Qin Yu retorted with a question: "Mo Yun, do you think I have no heart?"

Mo Yun hurriedly shook his head. "Your Highness, what are you saying? How could I think Your Highness is heartless? I just think that Your Highness must ensure your own safety before doing anything."

"I know I don't need you to say anything more here."

Mo Yun looked dejected. Qin Yu looked at Mo Yun and sighed helplessly in her heart. "You, you."

On the other side, the Prime Minister had also offended Qin Yu. He entered the palace and met with Xu Jiu. He was just pondering Qin Yu's intentions, but he still couldn't figure it out. Fortunately, the Prime Minister had successfully placed someone by Qin Yu's side, and this person was naturally Lou Yan.

Or perhaps Lou Yan was a spy planted by Qin Yanling and the Prime Minister to serve Qin Yu.

More importantly, it seems that Qin Yu has also gained power over the Imperial Guard, because the Imperial Guard and the National Protection Army have recently merged into one, so Qin Yu has more military power in his hands.
