Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

"Your Highness is indeed worthy of being called Your Highness. Your demeanor is truly admirable."

Shangguan Mufeng laughed a few times. Actually, Shangguan Mufeng really wanted to know what Qin Yu was afraid of. Was there anything Qin Yu was afraid of?

At this moment, Shangguan Mufeng was on his way to visit Qin Yu when he unexpectedly encountered Leng Xiucheng on the street. Upon seeing Leng Xiucheng, Shangguan Mufeng felt a bit unlucky.

"Oh, who is this? I didn't expect it to be Young Master Shangguan. He's just like any other plaything thrown out of the princess's residence."

Shangguan Mufeng, listening to Leng Xiucheng's words, sneered sarcastically. "Don't compare yourself to me. I'm an official in the court, while you're just someone who stays at home..."

Before he could finish speaking, Leng Xiucheng suddenly became angry, but Shangguan Mufeng completely ignored him.

"I only want to tell you one thing: it's a good thing that Her Highness the Princess was able to kick you out."

Leng Xiucheng was furious upon hearing what Shangguan Mufeng said.

She was nothing more than a plaything in the princess's mansion, yet she dared to shout at him, even though his father was the Grand Tutor.

"If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

"All you've got is the ability to seduce the princess with your looks so that she'll give you a position. What's so great about that?"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Mufeng was naturally displeased. He immediately opened his folding fan and walked up to Leng Xiucheng, placing the fan against Leng Xiucheng's neck.

Shangguan Mufeng said coldly, "I am not the same as you. I am not some kind of vase. You are just a broken vase that can only be looked at and has no other use. Don't compare yourself to me."

Before leaving, Shangguan Mufeng reminded Leng Xiucheng, "I hope you understand that you shouldn't keep courting death, otherwise you won't even know how you died."

After that, Shangguan Mufeng left, leaving Leng Xiucheng standing there in a daze. After Shangguan Mufeng left, Cheng Qixia came out.

"Your Highness, I never expected this person to look down on me. Are my subordinates really that bad?"

"In two days it will be the day the governor's daughter chooses her husband. You must try to snatch the embroidered ball then. I hope you can marry the governor's daughter. If you do, it will definitely help your future."

"Your Highness's subordinates are a little confused as to why you sent them down..."

Before he could finish speaking, Cheng Qixia told him to stop talking. At that moment, Cheng Qixia led Leng Xiucheng to the teahouse.

Just now, Cheng Qixia sensed that there seemed to be someone behind them, but he wasn't sure who it was. Fortunately, there was no one there now.

"I can answer your questions. I don't think you are a talentless person. It's just that you have talent but nowhere to use it. If you stay by my side and do things for me, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

"Your Highness, what are your plans? Do you intend to become the king of this place?"

At this moment, Cheng Qixia felt that the person in front of her was as stupid as a pig. How could such a thing be said in this person's place? Wasn't she afraid that the walls would have ears? Once these words reached the palace and the ears of the current emperor, how many heads would they have to lose?

"What are you saying? How could I possibly have such thoughts?"

At this moment, the waiter approached Cheng Qixia and asked what they needed. Cheng Qixia then asked the waiter to bring up all the signature dishes of their teahouse.

The person who was watching them just now was Shangguan Mufeng.

Shangguan Mufeng had been pondering one thing the whole way: how could Cheng Qixia and Leng Xiucheng have become so close? It was truly quite surprising.

Upon arriving at the princess's residence, Shangguan Mufeng informed Qin Yu of the matter. Qin Yu had already dispatched people to investigate, as she sensed that Leng Xiucheng seemed to be someone close to Cheng Qixia.

"Does Your Highness also have this thought? Actually, I had the same thought just now. I always felt that the two of them seemed to have known each other for a long time."

If that's the case, then was Leng Xiucheng's purpose in staying by Qin Yu's side before in order to pass on information? If that's really the case, Qin Yu would never let Leng Xiucheng go and would definitely send him to hell.

Qin Yu hates those who deceive her more than anything in this life.

Although Leng Xiucheng had indeed deceived Qin Yu before, it wasn't to an excessive degree. This was truly outrageous, and Qin Yu couldn't let it go so easily.

Qin Yu already knew Cheng Qixia's thoughts.

Last time, he simply destroyed the palace under the pretext of avenging Qin Yu, thus declaring himself king.

How could Qin Yu not know Cheng Qixia's thoughts?

As Qin Yuyue pondered this, he resolved to eliminate Cheng Qixia as soon as possible, or rather, to send Cheng Qixia back to his fiefdom.

In fact, Qin Yu did not want Cheng Qixia to die. If Cheng Qixia returned to his fiefdom and stayed there obediently, living the life of a carefree prince, Qin Yu would never have wanted to kill him. However, if Cheng Qixia had other intentions, Qin Yu would never have let him live.

Although Qin Yanling was indeed not a good ruler, he was Qin Yu's younger brother from beginning to end.

In this world, Qin Yu only has Qin Yanling as a relative.

Disappointment is one thing, but protecting is another. Qin Yu looked at the military power in his hands and sighed.

After all, I'm someone who's lived twice; I don't know how long I'll last this time.

Shangguan Mufeng looked around but didn't see Mo Yun. "Your Highness, where is Guard Mo? Wasn't Guard Mo always by your side before? Why can't I see him now?"

"I sent him to do something for me, so you don't need to worry too much."

Afterwards, Lou Yan was taken back to the princess's residence by Qin Yu. Lou Yan did not know why Qin Yu had arranged for him to stay in the same place for so long. Even though he wanted to return to the princess's residence, he was always given excuses to avoid it.

But now Qin Yu kindly took him back to the princess's residence. All of this made Lou Yan feel puzzled and he couldn't understand what Qin Yu was thinking.
