Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

When Mo Yun saw Lin Ruohua, he was somewhat surprised; he had never expected Lin Ruohua to come here.

Lin Ruohua told Mo Yun that Qin Yu had told him to return to the princess's residence.

"So that's how it is," Mo Yun understood. Afterwards, Mo Yun bid farewell to the Shadow Hall Master. At this moment, Lin Ruohua turned her head and glanced at the Shadow Hall Master. The Hall Master smiled faintly and indicated to Lin Ruohua that she didn't need to worry too much.

In the princess's residence, Qin Yu kept an eye on Hua Yu and even had some beautiful clothes prepared for Hua Yu to choose from. Hua Yu looked at these clothes and instantly beamed with joy. After all, women love beauty, don't they?

"Your Highness, may I choose any of these clothes here?"

Hua Yu asked Qin Yu incredulously, and Qin Yu told Hua Yu that she could indeed choose whatever she wanted, or rather, that all these things belonged to her.

Hua Yu is quite safe staying in the princess's residence now. Qin Yu doesn't believe anyone would dare to come here and cause trouble. Otherwise, Qin Yu will definitely make that person pay the price.

"I am truly sorry, Your Highness. I failed to complete the two-year mission, and this is something I have failed you in doing."

"You have already helped me a lot, and I am so grateful to you that I could not possibly blame you. What I regret is that I did not visit you in the brothel more often, which has led to you becoming like this, and now you have to pay the price with your life."

In the Royal Palace.

Cheng Qixia's subordinates told him that Qin Yu had taken away the most beautiful courtesan from the brothel.

Furthermore, the proprietress was instructed to publicly declare that the courtesan had died in a fire. Cheng Qixia was shocked at that moment. Cheng Qixia seriously considered Qin Yu's purpose in bringing her to the brothel, but after thinking about it carefully, she couldn't come up with any reason.

But now Qin Yu has brought the courtesan into the princess's residence. What exactly is Qin Yu thinking? This is really giving Cheng Qixia a headache.

"Your Highness, regarding this matter, should I investigate it further? I feel there's something fishy about it, but the courtesan's illness is indeed true."

According to his investigation, the courtesan's condition was very serious, and it was true that she wouldn't live much longer. However, since Qin Yu had brought the courtesan into the princess's residence, he was still unable to investigate the cause.

"She's just a courtesan. She can't cause any trouble. There's no need to investigate her further."

However, Qin Yu's fondness for such places of pleasure was quite surprising to Cheng Qixia. After all, Cheng Qixia thought that a woman like Qin Yu, who seemed detached from worldly affairs, would not go to such places. In the end, it turned out that Cheng Qixia had been overthinking things.

As Cheng Qixia gazed at the twinkling stars in the night sky, he pondered when he would be able to marry the princess and bring the world to his door.

After all, for Cheng Qixia, as long as he obtains this world, he will not have failed his father's expectations.

Although Cheng Qixia is a prince of the opposite sex, so what? It can't affect Cheng Qixia at all, can it?

Inside the palace, some ministers were kneeling outside the main hall, begging to see the emperor. Qin Yanling had no idea why these ministers were kneeling there. At this moment, Qin Yanling only felt a headache coming on and wished they would stay away from him and not stay there.

Xu Jiu silently rubbed Qin Yanling's head from the side, speaking softly, "Your Majesty, since these ministers want to see you, why don't you go and see them? Otherwise, I think they will never give up."

Having no other choice, Qin Yanling came outside to meet these people, her eyes filled with a hint of coldness.

"I only want to ask you, what exactly do you want to say now? It's so late, shouldn't you be resting in your residences?"

Unexpectedly, these officials were saying this here.

They saw the princess going to a brothel today, which is a scandalous and immoral act.

When Qin Yanling heard that Qin Yu had gone to a brothel, he was instantly surprised. How could Qin Yu, a woman, go to a brothel? They must have seen wrong.

More importantly, Qin Yu is the eldest princess of the current dynasty. How could such a noble princess go to such a despicable place?

"If that's how you see it, then why don't you tell me where the evidence is?"

Upon hearing the word "evidence," they looked at each other blankly, realizing they had none to produce.

Just moments ago they were making a great commotion, but now they were all silent. Qin Yanling had already told them, "You are slandering my imperial sister without any evidence. If this happens again, I will punish each of you with twenty strokes of the cane and deduct two months' salary."

They originally thought they could successfully impeach Qin Yu, but unexpectedly, they were instead scolded by the emperor. Most importantly, they really had no evidence.

Actually, they heard about this from other people, and when they learned of it, they hurriedly told Qin Yanling. As for other preparations, they didn't make any.

That's why such a misunderstanding occurred. He was already punished by Qin Yanling for such a small thing, but thankfully Qin Yanling didn't punish them.

"Fortunately, His Majesty did not punish us. But who told you that the princess went to a brothel?"

The official instantly forgot what to say and didn't know how to respond, so he could only grit his teeth and apologize to them.

"Don't do it again next time. If I get punished by His Majesty with twenty strokes of the cane because of you, it won't be worth it."

However, for them, the next time they want to talk about Qin Yu, they must find evidence; they will not come without evidence.

After all, Qin Yu was the emperor's own sister, the eldest princess, so the emperor's heart naturally leaned towards the eldest princess.

Regardless of the true nature of the relationship between Qin Yu and the Emperor, in front of outsiders, the two naturally appeared to be harmonious and amicable.

"It's getting late, everyone should disperse now."

In no time at all, the officials had left, as if they had never been there.

As soon as Qin Yanling entered the main hall, Xu Jiu inquired about the matter.
