Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

In the princess's mansion.

Qin Yu learned that a large group of ministers had gone to the palace to discuss matters yesterday, and that they had gone to a brothel with her. At that moment, Qin Yu was a little puzzled as to who had leaked this news. More importantly, Qin Yu was dressed as a man, and very few people could tell that she was her.

Qin Yu then sent people to investigate.

Unexpectedly, in less than an hour, the man returned and told Qin Yu that the brothel had been closed, meaning they had left. Qin Yu was astonished by their speed.

Qin Yu then saw Lou Yan there. Upon seeing him, Qin Yu was instantly startled. Had she known Lou Yan was there, she shouldn't have brought up the brothel. Lou Yan, pretending to know nothing, asked Qin Yu, "Your Highness, the cooks have prepared the meal. Would Your Highness be willing to have a meal with me?"

Qin Yu agreed, and then at the dinner table, she tentatively asked Lou Yan if he had heard anything. Lou Yan solemnly told Qin Yu that he hadn't heard anything. Looking at Lou Yan's expression, Qin Yu forced a smile.

"Alright, since you didn't hear anything, I won't ask you anymore. I want to ask you, have you been bored staying in this princess's residence lately? If you have, you must tell me."

"Don't worry, I feel quite free and comfortable staying in this princess's residence. It's not as restrictive as other places at all, and I like it very much."

Then Qin Yu remembered that there was a newly built courtyard in the suburbs. "I want to arrange for you to stay in the courtyard outside the city. I wonder what you think? I think it is very quiet there. I want to send you there. You can stay for a while and you can also travel around."

Lou Yan felt a pang of desolation upon hearing Qin Yu's words. He never expected that Qin Yu would actually want to send him away. Had Qin Yu discovered what he had been doing these past few days? If that were the case, what should he do?

"Has Your Highness grown tired of me? Has she lost all affection for me, which is why you're sending me here?"

"That's not what I meant. I just haven't had time to see how the courtyard is being built, so I wanted you to go and take a look. Come back and let me know after some time if there's anything that needs to be improved."

Lou Yan naturally believed what Qin Yu said. Qin Yu immediately felt that this person was quite easy to fool. However, in the past few days, Qin Yu felt that Lou Yan was quite kind-hearted. It was just a pity that he should not be on the Prime Minister's side.

Qin Yu sent Lou Yan away for two reasons. Firstly, it was because of Hua Yu. Secondly, he wanted the Prime Minister to sever ties with him.

Lin Muxuan happened to arrive at this place and unexpectedly saw the two of them having a meal. Naturally, he sat down in the chair without any hesitation. "I didn't expect that the princess and Young Master Lou Yan would be having a meal here. There are so many bowls and chopsticks. I hope it will be alright."

"How dare you!" Lou Yan glared angrily at Lin Muxuan. Lin Muxuan, however, paid no attention to Lou Yan's appearance and continued eating on his own. Qin Yu waved his hand, and the three of them continued their meal.

Lin Muxuan knew perfectly well why Lou Yan was angry, but unfortunately, Lin Muxuan didn't like Qin Yu at all; he simply regarded her as an older sister.

Right now, I just want to provoke Lou Yan here.

Seeing Lou Yan's successful display of anger, Lin Muxuan's lips curled into a smile.

Mo Yun watched from the shadows, a smile creeping onto his lips. He had never imagined that Lin Muxuan would be so infuriating; it was truly a surprise to Mo Yun.

Mo Yun turned his gaze to Lin Muxuan. It seemed that Qin Yu had only told him about it a few days ago, and that Lin Muxuan would be sent away soon.

Sometimes Mo Yun really couldn't understand why Qin Yu kept taking in male concubines, only to drive them away again.

Is it really because the novelty has worn off? But for some reason, in Mo Yun's eyes, she couldn't see that Qin Yu liked this group of male concubines at all. Not only did she not like them at all, but more importantly, Qin Yu seemed to treat them all as just tools.

Qin Yu kept keeping male concubines and flirting with them in order to cover up her true intentions, but in reality, she did not like them.

Afterwards, Qin Yu arranged some people for Lou Yan, and these people were Qin Yu's confidants. These people would take good care of Lou Yan, and Lou Yan would not be able to interact with anyone during this period.

"Your Highness, you must wait for me to return. I will definitely be back soon."

Qin Yu nodded slightly, but as soon as she turned around, her eyes turned cold. This sudden change was noticed by the maids around her, who all thought that Qin Yu was probably a demon who had escaped from the eighteenth level of hell.

"Luckily, I didn't provoke Her Highness. If I had, I think I would be dead by now. That look in her eyes is really too terrifying. It almost scared me to death."

Mo Yun jumped down from the tree, and his jump startled Lin Muxuan so much that Lin Muxuan fell to the ground.

"Guard Mo, you suddenly jumping down from up there really gave me a huge fright, you know that?"

Mo Yun apologized to Lin Muxuan, saying, "If I'm on guard next time, you'd better be careful so you don't accidentally hit someone."

Then Lin Muxuan turned his attention to Qin Yu, asking if Qin Yu had intentionally sent this person away, and if it wasn't for the purpose of letting this person go sightseeing.

He knew that Qin Yu was Mo Yun's confidante, and that Qin Yu would tell Mo Yun everything, which was why Lin Muxuan was speaking so recklessly here.

"You are very clever, but I only hope that you use your cleverness in the right way, not in this way."

Then he took Mo Yun and left the place. At this time, Qin Yu arrived at the place where Hua Yu was. Hua Yu was lying on the bed and had fallen asleep.
