Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

The maidservant serving Hua Yu saw Qin Yu arrive and was about to bow when Qin Yu made a perfunctory gesture. Naturally, she didn't bow to Qin Yu or say anything. Then, Qin Yu quietly left and went outside.

At this moment, a light drizzle began to fall from the sky. Qin Yu was standing there when Mo Yun appeared out of nowhere, holding an oil-paper umbrella behind Qin Yu and holding it up for her.

"Your Highness is somewhat saddened, but some things are beyond our control, aren't they? Besides, Miss Hua certainly doesn't want Your Highness to be upset."

Qin Yu turned to look at Mo Yun and asked if Mo Yun would one day be like them. Mo Yun shook his head and said no.

Mo Yun understood Qin Yu's sadness and realized that Qin Yu was not a heartless person. He knew that Hua Yu had been by Qin Yu's side for many years.

"Your Highness, your subordinates are your sharpest swords. If there is anything that requires your assistance, your subordinates will do everything in their power to help you, even at the cost of their lives."

Tangyuan had already arrived at this moment. She saw Mo Yun kneeling on one knee and heard the two of them talking. She then chimed in to Mo Yun, confirming that this was indeed the case.

Qin Yu was surprised that Tang Yuan had already arrived. She looked up at Tang Yuan.

“From the moment I arrived at the Princess’s residence, my life has belonged to her. There is no need for me to be sad or upset. The fact that we are willing to go through fire and water for her only proves that she is a very good master.”

If Qin Yu were like the other people, why would they be here risking their lives for him, and why would they be following him around to help him?

Listening to their conversation, Qin Yu found their points quite reasonable, especially considering that Qin Yu had indeed...

After Hua Yu woke up, she saw the maid next to her. The maid asked Hua Yu in a gentle voice if she felt unwell. Hua Yu shook her head.

"Did Her Highness come by just now? I think I smelled a faint floral fragrance in my sleep. If I'm not mistaken, it must have been Her Highness."

"You're really amazing. Her Highness the Princess did come by just now. I didn't expect you to have such a keen sense of smell. It's quite a surprise to me."

Hua Yu glanced at the clothes Qin Yu had bestowed upon her, then chose a rather elegant one to wear. She also put on a light blue hairpin. This was when she first followed Qin Yu. Now, it seems that many years have passed.

At this moment, Hua Yu couldn't help but cough wildly, only to find that it was all blood.

The maid was about to inform Qin Yu, but Hua Yu stopped her.

"No need."

"But young lady..."

Hua Yu knew her own body well. She knew she probably had a few more days left, but she didn't care much. After all, being able to help Qin Yu in this life was already a very good thing.

Without Qin Yu's help, how could she have survived to this day? Living this long is already a luxury.

Everyone says Qin Yu is cold-blooded and ruthless, but Hua Yu doesn't feel that way at all. Hua Yu doesn't think Qin Yu is cold-blooded and ruthless; on the contrary, she feels that Qin Yu is very pitiful, since no one can understand Qin Yu.

Afterwards, everything that had been prepared was brought to see Qin Yu, and they even bowed to Qin Yu. The people around them originally wanted to help them up, but Qin Yu stopped them.

"master."

Looking at Hua Yu's attire, Qin Yu remembered that Hua Yu had worn the same clothes when she entered the princess's residence. She couldn't believe so many years had passed.

"You have stayed here with me all these years, and I have wronged you."

"What are you saying, Master? If it weren't for you, I would probably have perished in that fire."

Lin Ruohua was momentarily surprised upon hearing the word "fire." She turned her gaze to Hua Yu, whom she was seeing for the first time and was quite surprised by the young woman's appearance...

Lin Ruohua suddenly remembered that her adoptive parents seemed to have mentioned to her that they had a child, but that child had died in a fire. Now, Hua Yu was about the same age as their child.

Qin Yu saw Lin Ruohua's lips move slightly, as if she wanted to say something. "What's wrong?"

Lin Ruohua shook her head. Afterwards, she went to Qin Yu alone and told her about her thoughts. Qin Yu couldn't help but ask, "You think Hua Yu is very likely your adoptive parents' child?"

She nodded without hesitation; that was indeed the idea, but she wasn't entirely sure. After thinking for a moment, Qin Yu carefully reviewed the information that Hua Yu had given her.

"Do your adoptive parents' children have birthmarks? Hua Yu has a butterfly birthmark."

"Princess, you may not know this, but there is indeed a butterfly birthmark. So, that means Huayu is the child of her adoptive parents. What a coincidence!"

Qin Yu never imagined that such a coincidence could happen in this world. Qin Yu saved Hua Yu and then saved Lin Ruohua.

Afterwards, Qin Yu pulled Hua Yu in front of Lin Ruohua, and the two chatted for a while, during which Hua Yu's tears fell.

At this moment, Lin Ruohua asked Qin Yu if Hua Yu could be saved, but Qin Yu told Lin Ruohua that Hua Yu could not be saved.

Upon learning that Hua Yu had become like this because of the Prime Minister, Lin Ruohua grabbed her sword and prepared to rush to the Prime Minister's residence.

"How could the prime minister do something so heinous?"

Qin Yu leaped forward and snatched the sword from Lin Ruohua's hand, then tapped Lin Ruohua's shoulder with the hilt.

"Your Highness, why are you stopping your subordinate from taking revenge?"

Qin Yu knew that Lin Ruohua was currently blinded by anger, so Hua Yu walked up to Lin Ruohua and asked her to calm down first.
