Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

Qin Yu, however, saw through Mo Yun's thoughts clearly.

She gently closed the folding fan in her hand and looked up at Mo Yun.

"I'm a little tired. Let me rest in the South Garden for a while."

Qin Yu wanted to suggest a hug, but ultimately felt it was inappropriate, so she gave up.

"Subordinates take orders."

Mo Yun helped Qin Yu walk towards the South Garden. Chunfeng and Yuzhu, having received orders, naturally rushed to the South Garden to serve Qin Yu.

The two of them tidied the bed and gently took off Qin Yu's shoes.

"Princess, are you comfortable?"

The two of them asked in soft, gentle voices.

"can."

Mo Yun stood silently to the side, like a wooden figure.

Looking at Qin Yu's tightly closed eyes, recalling what had happened before, he let out a long sigh.

Princess's true thoughts are truly hard to fathom.

Qin Yu closed her eyes and fell asleep, but her sleep was somewhat restless, with her brows furrowed.

Chunfeng and Yuzhu were particularly worried when they saw this.

Mo Yun walked to the bedside and gently placed his hand on Qin Yu's brow. This action was seen by Chunfeng, who immediately stepped forward and said, "How dare you! How dare you touch the princess?"

Yu Zhu cleverly noticed that Qin Yu's brows relaxed simply because of Mo Yun's action.

Mo Yun turned his head and made a shushing gesture.

At this moment, inside the palace, Qin Yanling sat on the dragon throne, propping his head up with his hand, looking quite relaxed, but in reality, his heart was in turmoil.

"Your Majesty, the Prince Yu requests an audience."

With his eyes closed, he listened to the eunuch's report and couldn't help but wonder why the Prince wanted to see him again. What kind of trouble was he planning to cause this time?

"Let him in."

After Cheng Qixia entered, she respectfully bowed.

"Greetings to Your Majesty."

Qin Yanling stood up, squinting as she carefully examined Cheng Qixia.

"What brings the Prince to the palace this time?"

"I would like to ask Your Majesty what the princess usually likes."

Huh? This guy actually asked him what his older sister liked?

"What does Your Highness mean by this? Does Your Highness intend to pursue my elder sister?"

Is this a case of someone who was rejected in their marriage proposal and then started pursuing her?

Upon hearing this, the surrounding eunuchs and palace maids all felt a pang of worry for the Prince.

"That's exactly what I was thinking. Since Your Majesty doesn't agree to my request to marry the princess, I think Your Majesty wouldn't mind if I pursued her."

Qin Yanling was speechless for a moment; this was truly a brilliant tactic.

However, as the ruler of a country, he knew all too well what the consequences would be if Qin Yu were to fall into his hands.

Qin Yanling smiled slightly and said eloquently, "I know what my elder sister likes, but I won't tell you. Your Highness, please return. Eunuch Lin, see the guest out."

Hmph, a toad trying to eat swan meat, what a pipe dream.

Cheng Qixia was unconvinced and decided to go to the princess's residence herself.

However, it's not good to go empty-handed on your first visit.

Suddenly he remembered that he had recently acquired a jade and glass bracelet, so he might as well give it to Qin Yu.

Cheng Qixia ordered his men to pack it up and then walked to the outside of the princess's residence himself.

He looked at the gate of the princess's residence in front of him, walked to the gate, and gently knocked.

Inside the room, the guard heard a faint knocking sound and became suspicious.

Then, there was another knock on the door. When they opened it, they saw a man standing there.

"Who are you?"

"I am Cheng Qixia, and I have come to pay my respects to Your Highness the Princess."

This man was dressed in luxurious clothes, all in black robes with gold thread embroidery, and wearing a pair of purple-gold boots. He looked gentle and refined, and judging from the words "young scholar," could he be a scholar?

“This person does not appear to be an ordinary person. Go and report to the princess.”
