Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

When Qin Yu returned to the princess's residence, Lou Yan naturally rushed out to greet her. Lou Yan's face was smiling, no longer as indifferent as before. This appearance surprised Qin Yu a little.

"If you don't want to smile, then I won't force you to smile."

At this moment, Lou Yan couldn't help but raise his long-standing question.

"Your Highness, I don't understand. As Your Highness's male concubine, why..."

Although Lou Yan hadn't finished speaking, Qin Yu understood his meaning. As far as Qin Yu was concerned, she didn't even like Lou Yan, so how could she possibly serve him in bed?

Moreover, Qin Yu's heart might lean more towards Mo Yun, and amidst this dazzling moment, Qin Yu would actually...

It seems that ever since she was reborn and learned about Mo Yun's feelings for her, Qin Yu's attitude towards Mo Yun has changed somewhat.

Every now and then, she would go and play around with Mo Yun, taking him sightseeing.

"I selected you to join the princess's residence after some testing. Although I like you, it doesn't mean I want you to have sex with me."

Upon hearing these words, Chunfeng and Yuzhu naturally chimed in, "Her Highness the Princess is of noble birth; how could people of your status possibly be worthy of her..."

Before the two girls could finish speaking, Qin Yu made a shushing gesture.

"Now that you have arrived at my princess residence, I will treat you well. I only want to tell you one thing: what I hate most in my life is being deceived. If you dare to lie to me and I find out about it, I will definitely let you experience what it means to be ruthless."

Lou Yan could clearly sense the murderous intent in Qin Yu's eyes when Qin Yu said those words.

At this moment, Lin Muxuan had already walked up to Qin Yu, knelt on one knee and bowed to Qin Yu. Qin Yu personally helped Lin Muxuan up.

"I remember you don't have a courtyard to live in yet. You'll be staying in Lin Muxuan's courtyard for now. Once I clear out a new courtyard for you, you'll be able to move in."

Lin Muxuan turned his head to look at Lou Yan, and was surprised by Lou Yan's stunning appearance in that instant.

If Lou Yan were a woman, she could make all the men in the world fall at her feet. After all, Lou Yan is very gentle, unlike Qin Yu.

Qin Yu possessed an untamed aura, which destined those who followed him to be extremely powerful individuals. Ordinary people like them had absolutely no chance of standing beside Qin Yu.

It is clearly a very lucky thing that Qin Yu has taken a liking to me now.

This is just a rumor. Qin Yu's hobby is that handsome men are a mystery to Lou Yan. For some reason, at that moment, Lou Yan felt that everything Qin Yu did was just for the world to see.

Qin Yu has always maintained her bottom line.

Meanwhile, Cheng Qixia returned to the Prince Yu's residence and learned that Qin Yu had gone to the palace and met with Xu Jiu and the other person.

At this moment, Cheng Qixia decided to send someone to assassinate Xu Jiu, intending to frame Shangguan Mufeng for the incident.

Meanwhile, the Prime Minister also decided to assassinate Xu Jiu, but his idea differed from Cheng Qixia's. The Prime Minister planned to make the world believe that Qin Yu was the one who wanted to kill Xu Jiu, since Xu Jiu was also a princess.

Night fell, but for some reason, Qin Yu felt a sense of unease. She looked up at Mo Yun and asked, "Why do I feel that something is about to happen today?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Yun explained to Qin Yu that the reason she felt a little tired was because so many things had happened these past few days, and told her not to worry too much. Mo Yun then added, "If Your Highness feels tired, why don't you go inside and rest?"

Unexpectedly, Qin Yu became worried about Xu Jiu. Xu Jiu was all alone in the capital. More importantly, the envoy from the neighboring country seemed to have already returned, leaving Xu Jiu alone in Xuehua Palace. Even with palace maids serving him, what if someone wanted to...

"I will go to this room to change my clothes. Afterwards, you will follow me to sneak into the palace at night. The most important thing is that we must not be discovered."

At this moment, Lou Yan was behind Qin Yu and Mo Yun. Qin Yu noticed someone behind her and turned around. Unexpectedly, she saw Lou Yan right away.

Qin Yu did not intend to expose this person. Instead, he had Chunfeng and Yuzhu pretend to meet him and take him back to where Lin Muxuan was.

Chunfeng and Yuzhu were both clever and quick-witted. They understood Qin Yu's intentions and nodded without hesitation.

The two spotted Lou Yan as soon as they arrived outside. They exchanged glances, and Yu Zhu, carrying a basin of water, hurriedly ran towards Lou Yan.

With a thud, Yuzhu bumped into Lou Yan, and the water naturally splashed onto Lou Yan as well.

"How do you walk, you maid? Do you know how expensive this dress I'm wearing is? You..."

Yu Zhu immediately knelt on the ground, admitting her mistake. Qin Yu was aware of the commotion, but pretended to know nothing and came over.

"What happened? How did these clothes suddenly get wet?"

“Princess, look at this maid. She’s not efficient at all. She’s spilled water on the clothes you gave me. I cherish these clothes very much.”

Yu Zhu kowtowed repeatedly, admitting her mistake, while Chun Feng approached them and pleaded for Yu Zhu's life.

"Spring Breeze and Jade Bamboo have been by my side for many years, and I am just a piece of clothing. I am rewarding you."

Qin Yu then told Lou Yan that since Yu Zhu had gotten the clothes wet, Yu Zhu should go and get them.

Then Chunfeng escorted Lou Yan back to the courtyard where Lin Muxuan was.

After doing all this, Qin Yu looked up at Lou Yan, who was now obscured by dark clouds. This scene was quite helpful to Qin Yu.

The night was so dark that Qin Yu and Mo Yun, dressed in black with swords at their waists, moved swiftly through the darkness.
