Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her
Chapter 170 Investigation
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
The one who said this was the Minister of Rites. After he came out, he said that Qin Yu, as a princess, should not be in the court and should not interfere in the affairs of the court.
At that moment, Qin Yanling felt a headache coming on and didn't want to manage any of these things at all.
Moreover, Qin Yanling also needs to investigate who is trying to assassinate Xu Jiu; he must give an explanation.
"My health is not good, so the court session is adjourned today."
Qin Yu, through her mind-reading ability, could sense that Qin Yanling was utterly exhausted.
For some reason, Qin Yu felt a pang of heartache at that moment. Her younger brother had set his sights on Qin Yanling. If Qin Yanling hadn't treated Qin Yu that way before, or hadn't constantly suppressed Qin Yu, perhaps Qin Yu would have treated Qin Yanling with all his heart.
"I only want to tell you ministers one thing: I have not interfered in state affairs, and I have never meddled in the matters you are talking about. If I hear you talking about me again, don't blame me for being impolite."
After Qin Yu finished speaking, he led Xu Jiu and Mo Yun away from the palace and arrived outside. Xu Jiu then cast an envious glance at them.
"You are really amazing, I can't help but admire you very much."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu was momentarily surprised, unsure of Xu Jiu's meaning.
"Do you know? In the place where I used to live, I was just a princess. I didn't even dare to enter the court, nor did I dare to go..."
On their way to the princess's residence, the group unexpectedly ran into Shangguan Mufeng. Upon seeing Xu Jiu, Shangguan Mufeng sized her up. Qin Yu understood that Shangguan Mufeng was also worried about Xu Jiu.
"I haven't been to the market in a long time. I'd like to go with Guard Mo. Young Master Shangguan, you'll escort the neighboring princess back to her residence. You must make sure she gets back safely. If anything goes wrong, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Shangguan Mufeng was stunned for a moment. He never expected that Qin Yu would ask him to send Xu Jiu back to the princess's residence. Shangguan Mufeng had also heard about Xu Jiu's encounter with the assassin. Seeing her lively and energetic appearance, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Shangguan Mufeng could never understand why Xu Jiu had encountered an assassin. Xu Jiu was a princess of a neighboring country. If she had encountered an assassin and the people of the neighboring country found out, they would definitely demand an explanation from her.
If the two sides do not communicate well, it will lead to a major war. Once the war breaks out, it will be the ordinary people who suffer.
"Your Highness, are you doing this on purpose?"
"I just wanted to bring them together, or perhaps it was out of guilt on my part towards Young Master Shangguan."
Upon hearing this, Mo Yun understood that it was out of guilt that he wanted to match Xu Jiu and Shangguan Mufeng up, even though the two of them did indeed have feelings for each other.
Because Mo Yun is in love with Qin Yu, and Qin Yu is the only person in his eyes, while Shangguan Mufeng kept his eyes on Xu Jiu just now, which shows that he likes Xu Jiu.
Qin Yu wandered around the market, and it had to be said that there were more and more vendors in the market.
On the other side, Cheng Qixia also learned that the assassination attempt had failed.
More importantly, another group of people was also trying to assassinate Xu Jiu.
"You said there was another group of people also trying to assassinate the princess of the neighboring country? Have you found out who is trying to assassinate me? I never imagined that someone would want this princess of the neighboring country to die. It is truly unbelievable to me."
“Your Highness, I have not been able to find out who wanted to kill the princess of the neighboring country. However, the only thing I know is that at the time, I was one of the people who were supposed to be protecting the princess, but it turned out that they were not.”
"You can investigate this matter at your own pace."
After Shangguan Mufeng and Xu Jiu met, they remained silent. Shangguan Mufeng walked up to Xu Jiu, took a deep breath, and couldn't help but ask, "Are you still blaming me?"
"Young Master Shangguan, what are you saying? How could I possibly blame you? It's just that I need to think this over carefully. After all, you should know my identity. I am a princess from a neighboring country. As a princess, I must fulfill the responsibilities of a princess."
"Do you mean you're going to marry royalty?"
If that's the case, then it means that Xu Jiu wants to marry Cheng Qixia. After all, Cheng Qixia is a prince of the opposite sex, and it's impossible for him to become the emperor's concubine. After all, the emperor has already told everyone in court today that he will not be taking any concubines for the time being.
The more Shangguan Mufeng thought about it, the more conflicted he became. He never imagined that Xu Jiu would actually want to marry Cheng Qixia.
Xu Jiu didn't speak, but indicated that she was a little tired and asked Shangguan Mufeng to escort her back to the princess's residence.
The two of them did not exchange a single word on the way, and Qin Yu and Mo Yun had naturally arrived at the princess's residence.
Qin Yu noticed that Xu Jiu seemed a little off. Qin Yu walked up to Xu Jiu and asked if she had argued with Shangguan Mufeng.
"There was no quarrel with Young Master Shangguan, so why should you worry, sister? It's just that there are some things you can't figure out. It's alright at the time, you'll understand them naturally after a while."
In fact, Xu Jiu initially had a great prejudice against the princess in front of her, but in the end she found that Qin Yu was not at all like what the world said. More importantly, the way Qin Yu lived was the way she longed for.
The secret guards that Mo Yun sent out have returned. Upon their return, the guards informed Mo Yun, "Guard Mo, I have found out that this matter was orchestrated by the Prime Minister."
This means that Prime Minister Xu sent someone to assassinate Xu Jiu.
When Qin Yu learned of this news, he was somewhat puzzled by Prime Minister Xu's purpose.
On the other hand, Xu Jinxin naturally wanted to meet the rumored princess of the neighboring country. Upon learning that Xu Jiu was in Qin Yu's residence, Xu Jinxin began to have her own plans.
When Prime Minister Xu returned, he saw Xu Jinxin standing in the courtyard, lost in thought. He walked up to her and asked, "Why are you standing here in a daze?"
"It's nothing, I was just thinking about some things, Dad, don't worry about it."
