Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

"A long time ago, the officials in this court had a great deal of resentment towards me."

It seems that Qin Yu later confiscated the property of the Minister of Revenue, which served as a deterrent, causing officials in the court to become much more restrained.

"By the way, I remember that tomorrow is the Governor's daughter, Lan Yan's, marriage proposal. Young Master Shangguan, why don't you give it a try? After all, I know that Lan Yan has feelings for you."

Qin Yu then told Shangguan Mufeng that since they had already missed the chance with the artist, they shouldn't miss the second one, otherwise they might miss out for the rest of their lives...

Shangguan Mufeng listened to Qin Yu's words and nodded slightly to show that he understood. However, Shangguan Mufeng had always felt a little uneasy because he could never figure out what his feelings for Lan Yan were.

Does he truly love Lan Yan, or does he see the shadow of the neighboring country's princess in Lan Yan, or vice versa?

Qin Yu sensed what Shangguan Mufeng was thinking, turned to look at Mo Yun, and suggested that Mo Yun and Shangguan Mufeng have a chat, since it would be more appropriate for the two men to chat than for Qin Yu to chat with him.

Qin Yu planned to stroll around the market alone.

"I plan to go to the market. You two can chat in this restaurant."

After Qin Yu left, Mo Yun sat down silently, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it all in one gulp.

Do you like princesses?

These were questions asked by Shangguan Mufeng, who was looking at Mo Yun, wanting to know if Mo Yun liked Qin Yu. Unexpectedly, Mo Yun did not speak.

After a long while, Mo Yun finally told Shangguan Mufeng, "Sometimes whether you like someone or not is not important. Besides, as Her Highness the Princess's personal guard, I will never marry or have children in this life, will I? I will only stay by the Princess's side for the rest of my life, and that is enough."

Although Mo Yun did not tell Shangguan Mufeng whether he liked her or not, Shangguan Mufeng could tell from these words that Mo Yun had feelings for Qin Yu.

"Why don't you tell Her Highness what's on your mind?"

Mo Yun looked up and glanced at Shangguan Mufeng. There was a hint of disappointment in his eyes, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"I am merely a bodyguard from the Shadow Hall. No matter how outstanding I may be in hiding, I am still just a personal guard in the princess's residence. Moreover, I know I am unworthy of the princess, so why..."

Shangguan Mufeng said that it was the first time he had ever heard Mo Yun say so much.

After all, Shangguan Mufeng was quite surprised that he had never heard Mo Yun say so much before.

Mo Yun simply smiled faintly and told Shangguan Mufeng, "Perhaps it's because he doesn't want to talk, or perhaps he's just unhappy."

At this moment, Shangguan Mufeng also noticed the jade pendant at Mo Yun's waist. This jade pendant looked quite sacred, and more importantly, it was engraved with the character "Mo".

"I've long heard that Guard Mo is an orphan. He was taken in by the Shadow Hall Master when he was five years old and has lived in the Shadow Hall ever since. How could Guard Mo have no memory of anything before he was five?"

Mo Yun shook his head and told Shangguan Mufeng that he knew nothing about his memories before the age of five. For Mo Yun, he didn't dwell on the past; he only wanted to live a better life in the future.

"If I'm not mistaken, the jade pendant at your waist belongs to someone of royal lineage."

Mo Yun didn't think too much about it, but when he heard Shangguan Mufeng say that it was a jade pendant belonging to royalty, Mo Yun couldn't help but wonder about his own background...

After chatting for a while, Shangguan Mufeng understood Mo Yun's meaning.

"Thank you for your advice, young master. I now know what to do."

I originally thought Mo Yun was just a blockhead, but now I've discovered that Mo Yun is very smart. No wonder he was able to become Qin Yu's personal bodyguard.

Mo Yun's perceptiveness is extremely high.

"When we first met, I actually had some hostility towards Young Master Shangguan, because Her Highness the Princess was too kind to him, which made me feel a little unhappy."

Shangguan Mufeng never expected that such a thing would happen, and he never expected that Mo Yun would bring it up.

At this moment, Shangguan Mufeng looked at Mo Yun. "If possible, I would like you and the princess to be together and grow old together. After all, I think you are worthy of Her Highness the princess."

Because Mo Yun possesses an untamed aura and an innate kingly presence that is unmatched by ordinary people, even Cheng Qixia.

When Shangguan Mufeng first saw Cheng Qixia, he felt that Cheng Qixia was unpleasant and carefree. Even if she wasn't carefree, Cheng Qixia was too scheming.

Although it's said that Qi Xia's repeated attempts to marry Qin Yu ultimately failed, it's hard to say how much sincerity and how much pretense was involved; power was probably also a factor.

At that moment, Qin Yu was strolling through the market when she happened to run into Cheng Qixia. Cheng Qixia, seeing Qin Yu alone, walked directly up to her. "Your Highness, are you here alone? Where are the others with Your Highness?"

"Please do not call me princess here. Just call me Miss. After all, this is a common place, and it would be inappropriate if these people knew our identities."

"In that case, Miss Qin, why are you strolling around here alone? Why don't you join me?"

Cheng Qixia reached out to grasp Qin Yu's hand, but Qin Yu pulled back and withdrew his hand. "Young master, this is not in accordance with the rules. Let's each go our own way. If you wish to go to a brothel, I am willing to take you. Would you be willing?"

For some reason, at that moment, Cheng Qixia felt as if Qin Yu was playing with him.

Qin Yu noticed this and continued speaking in accordance with Cheng Qixia's wishes.

Cheng Qixia was startled by Qin Yu, who hadn't expected Qin Yu to guess his thoughts. Qin Yu then said, "Young Master's thoughts are all written on his face; it's easy to guess what he's thinking."

Only after hearing this did Cheng Qixia breathe a sigh of relief.

So that's how it is. Just now, Cheng Qixia was really scared.
