Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

On the other side, Cheng Qixia was naturally staying in the Prince Yu's mansion.

Cheng Qixia was feeling a bit bored at the Prince Yu's residence and was about to head to the Princess's residence when, unexpectedly, the steward informed her upon arrival, "Your Highness, I'm truly sorry, but Her Highness the Princess is not currently at her residence. Please return."

When Cheng Qixia learned of this, she was immediately puzzled. Where would Qin Yu have gone for no reason? She pondered this for a moment, and then went to the place where Qin Yu was supposed to be, but she didn't see Qin Yu.

He genuinely didn't understand why Qin Yu wasn't there. He had assumed Qin Yu would be there, but in the end, he found out that Qin Yu wasn't.

Afterwards, Cheng Qixia sent people to investigate thoroughly, but the investigation revealed that Qin Yu had disappeared without a trace.

"Since Her Highness has gone out for a trip, she probably doesn't want anyone to know her whereabouts. Your Highness, you shouldn't go looking for Her Highness anymore, since you won't find her anyway."

With the maid saying this, Cheng Qixia naturally gave up.

Meanwhile, Xu Jiu, who was in the princess's residence, felt extremely bored. At this moment, Xu Jiu actually thought of Shangguan Mufeng. She wondered how Shangguan Mufeng was doing now, since she hadn't seen him for quite some time.

Perhaps Shangguan Mufeng has already forgotten about her. In other words, it's possible that they just met by chance and didn't have much interaction in their daily lives.

Most men in this world are heartless and ungrateful, so be it.

At this time, Shangguan Mufeng had fallen ill at the Shangguan family home.

When Shangguan Nantian saw Shangguan Mufeng's haggard appearance, he felt extremely sad. He asked Shangguan Mufeng, "If there's anything wrong, just tell your father. I will definitely help you. After all, my status is different now."

Shangguan Mufeng shook his head, indicating that nothing had happened to him. However, Shangguan Mufeng's face was pale, and more importantly, he had taken so much medicine but had not gotten better at all.

"This is not because of the princess from the neighboring country. If you really want to marry the princess from the neighboring country, I will go and ask the emperor to grant us the marriage."

Unexpectedly, Shangguan Mufeng stopped him, saying that there was no need to beg the king.

“It doesn’t matter. My son will get better. After all, he still has to take care of his father, right? He only has his son as his family in this world.”

Shangguan Mufeng understood that Shangguan Nantian only had him as his son. If something were to happen to Shangguan Mufeng, how could Shangguan Nantian accept it? Wouldn't Shangguan Nantian become a lonely old man?

Shangguan Mufeng was reluctant to part with it.

Shangguan Mufeng glanced at the bowl of medicine beside him, picked it up and drank it all in one gulp, determined not to let a woman delay things.

Shangguan Mufeng then felt a wave of drowsiness and naturally fell into a deep sleep. He didn't know how long he slept but ended up having a dream. When he woke up again, he was drenched in sweat.

"woke up?"

Shangguan Nantian had been guarding Shangguan Mufeng the whole time. When Shangguan Mufeng saw Shangguan Nantian, he was a little surprised for a moment. Shangguan Nantian reached out and touched Shangguan Mufeng's forehead. He felt that it was no longer hot, and then he was relieved.

When Xu Jiu learned of Shangguan Mufeng's illness, he was naturally shocked in an instant.

Logically speaking, Shangguan Mufeng's health has always been excellent, so why is he sick now? This really surprised Xu Jiu, who hurriedly went to the Shangguan residence.

Shangguan Nantian happened to come out and saw Xu Jiu. He was surprised at that moment. Why did Xu Jiu come here alone? More importantly, there was no one behind Xu Jiu.

"Your Highness, why did you come here alone? Why is there no one behind you? Aren't you afraid of encountering danger by coming here alone?"

Shangguan Nantian hurriedly invited Xu Jiu inside, but unexpectedly, Xu Jiu told Shangguan Nantian that he was not afraid of encountering danger.

Then he asked about Shangguan Mufeng's health. Shangguan Nantian told Xu Jiu that Shangguan Mufeng's health had improved a lot.

Xu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief. Afterwards, Xu Jiu told Shangguan Nantian not to tell Shangguan Mufeng that she had been there.

At that moment, Shangguan Nantian suddenly understood something. Perhaps his son's illness was because of Xu Jiu, or perhaps it was because he had been thinking about Xu Jiu for too long.

"May I ask Your Highness a question?"

When Shangguan Nantian asked this question, Xu Jiu was a little puzzled. She looked up at Shangguan Nantian and asked him what he wanted to ask.

"I wonder if Your Highness likes Shangguan Mufeng."

Xu Jiu did not respond to these words.

"I see."

Xu Jiu hadn't said anything yet, so how did Shangguan Nantian know?

On the other side, Yuan Jie discovered that Xu Jiu was not in the princess's residence. In that instant, he summoned all the guards. How could Xu Jiu have disappeared? Could she have been captured?

At this moment, Xu Jiu had already led his men to the market. The common people were a little puzzled when they saw that the princess's mansion had sent out so many people.

None of them knew why the princess's residence would suddenly send out so many guards.

"What's the matter?"

One of the vendors asked the vendor next to him a question.

The vendors nearby suddenly heard this and shook their heads.

"I don't know what happened."

Since the princess's residence had sent so many guards, something serious must have happened, so they had no choice but to make way.

Just then, Xu Jiu was about to return to the princess's residence when, unexpectedly, she saw so many guards from the princess's residence in the market. As soon as Xu Jiu appeared, the guards hurriedly ran to her side.

"Princess, where have you gone? We've been looking for you everywhere."

To be honest, these guards were really frightened by Xu Jiu's behavior. If Xu Jiu disappeared and Qin Yu came back to question them, they would be speechless and suffer the consequences.

Upon learning that Xu Jiu had been found, Yuan Jie rushed to him.
