Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

Qin Yu naturally knew that Lou Yan had returned.

Chunfeng and Yuzhu turned their attention to Qin Yu. "Your Highness, now that Young Master Lou Yan has returned, would you be willing to go and see him?"

Qin Yu looked up at the sky, then at the spring breeze and the moonlit bamboo, and gently closed her folding fan. "Let's go."

Qin Yu wanted to know how Lou Yan had been doing these past few days.

Lou Yan stayed in the courtyard, extremely eager to know how the Prime Minister was doing, since he hadn't sent a letter to the Prime Minister in the past few days.

Inside the Prime Minister's residence, the Prime Minister had been searching for Lou Yan's whereabouts, and now the men he had sent out to search for him had returned. "Prime Minister, I have found the young master's whereabouts."

Upon learning that Lou Yan's whereabouts had been found, the Prime Minister was naturally overjoyed. He had initially thought he would never find Lou Yan, but fortunately, he had finally found him.

"Now that you have found his whereabouts, where is he now?"

The prime minister sent someone to inform him that the person was in the princess's residence.

Back at the princess's residence, Prime Minister Xu was filled with doubt, since he had already seen people searching for her, but they hadn't expected to be unable to find her.

Prime Minister Xu was extremely puzzled.

Why is this happening in the princess's residence?

Prime Minister Xu decided to bring this person out and question him thoroughly.

And what kind of trouble has Qin Yu been up to these past few days?

Prime Minister Xu was particularly interested in this matter.

Qin Yu found Lou Yan and asked him how he had been these past few days.

To be honest, although Lou Yan had been doing quite well these past few days, he had been missing the princess's residence the whole time.

But no matter what he said to these people, he couldn't leave the place he was in.

Lou Yan looked at Qin Yu with teary eyes and began to complain to her. "Your Highness, you don't know, but I have really missed you these past few days. You have tried to come back several times, but the guards there will not let me return."

Qin Yu listened to what Lou Yan said, but only focused her gaze on Lou Yan.

This matter was arranged by Qin Yu, and the reason they won't release Lou Yan now is simply because Qin Yu said so.

How could Qin Yu possibly tell Lou Yan about this?

She pretended to comfort Lou Yan here. After calming Lou Yan down, she rewarded him with several hundred taels of silver and several bolts of silk.

Lou Yan had thought that Qin Yu would no longer pay attention to him, but now, seeing these symptoms, he realized that Qin Yu would still talk to him.

Lou Yan was overjoyed.

Lou Yan then turned his gaze to Qin Yu. “Your Highness, although I have stayed there these past few days and have not gone out, I have learned a new dance technique. I wonder if Your Highness would like to see it?”

Qin Yu nodded slightly. At this moment, Mo Yun returned. Mo Yun saw Qin Yu with the two of them and was displeased, but he did not say anything.

At this moment, Lou Yan was constantly dancing in front of Qin Yu.

Watching this enchanting dance, Qin Yu couldn't help but think that if it were a young woman, she would surely be able to bewitch people's hearts.

Unfortunately, Qin Yu was a woman. For Qin Yu, everything she did was simply to deceive those outsiders.

Although I used to like handsome men, things are different now.

Turning his gaze to Lou Yan, he watched as Lou Yan finished dancing and then informed him, "Are you tired? If you are, you might as well go and rest."

"Your Highness, you haven't told me how things are going."

Qin Yu offered some insincere praise, and after Lou Yan left, Qin Yu turned her attention to Mo Yun.

When did you return?

Mo Yun replied that Qin Yu had returned some time ago, but he had not seen him yet, which made Mo Yun feel a little sad.

"Does Your Highness like Lou Yan?"

Qin Yu did not expect Mo Yun to ask such a question.

At this moment, Qin Yu was a little surprised. Qin Yu replied that Mo Yun did not like Lou Yan simply because Lou Yan was the prime minister, and the people they sent had to appear to like him.

Upon hearing this, Mo Yun suddenly understood; so that's what it was all about.

At the beginning, Mo Yun thought that Qin Yu had developed a strong interest in Lou Yan.

Fortunately, Lou Yan has not won Qin Yu's favor.

Mo Yun was overjoyed.

Seeing Mo Yun's current appearance surprised Qin Yu.

Why are you so happy now?

Upon hearing Qin Yu's question, Mo Yun was at a loss for words.

Mo Yun then pretended to reply, intending to brush off Qin Yu, but Qin Yu, through her mind-reading ability, already knew what Mo Yun was thinking and found her guard quite adorable.

On the other hand, Prime Minister Xu caught a cold due to overwork.

But now, because of the need to travel south, the journey has to be postponed again due to the Prime Minister's cold.

The emperor, who was in the palace, felt a headache coming on when he learned of this.

At this point, the emperor planned to send someone else, but Qin Yu found out about it.

Qin Yu went directly into the palace and informed the emperor. "I disagree with this matter. I hope Your Majesty understands one thing: words spoken are like water spilled on the ground."

The emperor listened to Qin Yu's words and sighed helplessly in his heart.

Oh well, it's all happened after all.

If the emperor were to force Qin Yu to do this, Qin Yu would definitely be angry, and the emperor did not want Qin Yu to be angry.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Since things have come to this, I will definitely..."

Before the emperor could finish speaking, Qin Yu informed him, "You seem to be very busy these days and have no time to travel south. As the prime minister of the country, it is not unreasonable for the prime minister to travel south now."

If Qin Yu, being a woman, were to go south, she would surely become a laughingstock.

After much deliberation, the emperor found Qin Yu's words to be reasonable. Why was that?

If Qin Yu, being a woman, were to send the female Zuo, she would surely be despised by the world.

They would also think that all the officials in the court were useless, so they would send a woman instead.

The emperor personally visited the prime minister's residence to inquire about the prime minister's condition. "Uncle, how have you been feeling these past few days?"

He asked Prime Minister Xu thoughtfully.

"Your Majesty has come here in person, why didn't you announce your arrival?" Prime Minister Xu said, coughing as he spoke. His face was somewhat pale, and he seemed to be truly ill.

"I was just afraid of disturbing you, so I didn't have anyone announce my arrival. Besides, you and I are related by blood, aren't we? I just wanted to see you as your nephew."

Upon hearing what the emperor said, Prime Minister Xu replied with a heartfelt "Thank you."

I don't know why, but I always feel that this person's arrival here... is not as simple as it seems on the surface.
