"Your Highness, I was wondering if I should just leave here now."

Just as Cheng Qixia was about to leave, he realized that this place clearly belonged to his royal palace, so why was he leaving now?

Qin Yu and Mo Yun then approached Cheng Qixia. "I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my guards and maids and leave first."

Qin Yu was the last to leave. Once outside, she asked Mo Yun, "How is your investigation going? I'm very curious."

"As usual, and this prime minister seems to be..."

Mo Yun felt that this prime minister was unusually quiet, which puzzled him quite a bit.

Although Mo Yun was a little puzzled, some things had already happened, hadn't they?

"If that's the case, then you'd better observe carefully in the coming days, does the Prime Minister understand?"

Finally, Mo Yun nodded slightly, indicating that he would observe the Prime Minister at all times.

"Actually, I'm also very curious as to why Her Highness has been so attentive lately. Is the Prime Minister up to something again? From what I know, the Prime Minister shouldn't be..."

They were all quite puzzled at that moment, including Lin Ruohua and the others. After all, the Prime Minister's trip to Jiangnan was an undeniable fact that could not be changed.

But why is Qin Yu still observing Prime Minister Xu's actions all the time?

"I have noticed that he has been in close contact with the ministers of the court recently, and I am afraid that he is plotting something in secret."

So that's why Qin Yu has been so wary of Prime Minister Xu lately; they all understood now.

In fact, Qin Yu suddenly felt that it was better not to let Prime Minister Xu go to Jiangnan.

What if this person causes some trouble on the way? Wouldn't they be the ones to fill the hole created then?

They were all thinking seriously about it, and at this time, Lin Ruohua, Chunfeng, Yuzhu and others had already given their opinions.

“Your Highness, I have just thought about this carefully. If we don’t send this person, then the only option is for the Emperor to go in person. If the Emperor doesn’t go, Your Highness, as a woman, if you go, everyone will think that you are trying to win people’s hearts and have ulterior motives.”

As the saying goes, Sima Zhao's intentions are obvious to everyone.

Qin Yu was at a loss for what to do at that moment. She returned to the princess's residence and pondered deeply before taking any action.

As luck would have it, Shangguan Mufeng had already arrived at the princess's residence. Seeing Qin Yu's worried expression, he couldn't help but sit down beside her. "Your Highness, why are you sighing like this all of a sudden? Could something have happened?"

"Actually, there's just one thing I can't understand. I've always wanted Prime Minister Xu to go to Jiangnan, but..."

"If Your Highness does not wish for Prime Minister Xu to go to Jiangnan, then perhaps I should go instead, since I am also one of Your Highness's people."

Qin Yu thought about it carefully and felt that sending Shangguan Mufeng was feasible, since Shangguan Mufeng was someone close to Qin Yu.

However, Shangguan Mufeng was ultimately just a military officer. How could a military officer be compared to Prime Minister Xu? If he were to go, the people there would probably think that he didn't respect them.

Qin Yu felt a sudden headache coming on, and decided to go to the Prime Minister's residence in person to offer his condolences.

They had just returned to the princess's residence, but now they had to leave again for the prime minister's residence. Naturally, they all followed Qin Yu there.

Meanwhile, in the Prime Minister's residence, the Prime Minister was chatting with officials from the court when he suddenly heard a servant in the Prime Minister's residence shout loudly, "The Princess has arrived!"

When they heard Qin Yu's name, they were all quite puzzled for a moment, especially Prime Minister Xu, who was particularly puzzled and had no idea that Qin Yu had come here for any reason.

He then focused his gaze on Qin Yu, walked up to her, and bowed to her.

"I wonder what brings Your Highness here today? If so, Your Highness, please feel free to speak freely. What do you think?"

Upon hearing what Prime Minister Xu said, Qin Yu inquired about Prime Minister Xu's health condition.

“Your Highness, there is no need to worry too much. My health has almost fully recovered, and I will be traveling to Jiangnan in a few days.”

After saying these words, Prime Minister Xu turned his attention to Qin Yu. For some reason, Prime Minister Xu felt that Qin Yu had come here to check on his health.

However, how could he possibly do as Qin Yu wished? Xu Jinxin happened to return and saw Qin Yu and her father chatting. She felt a little suspicious.

"Why would Her Highness the Eldest Princess come to the Prime Minister's residence now? This actually surprises me quite a bit. Has the sun risen in the west or something?"

Xu Jinxin seemed to be deep in thought when she said this.

She was particularly curious about Qin Yu's purpose in coming here, so she focused her attention on Qin Yu.

Qin Yu saw Xu Jinxin and heard what Xu Jinxin said. For a moment, she felt that it was a little ridiculous. Why was that?

"Is it not allowed for me to come and see my royal uncle?"

This statement naturally left Xu Jinxin speechless. Xu Jinxin could only say, "It's all crocodile tears."

Qin Yu definitely didn't bother with Xu Jinxin. As far as Qin Yu was concerned, she didn't want to argue with her at all. Arguing with her would be beneath her dignity. Besides, Qin Yu and Xu Jinxin had never gotten along.

The same applies to the past, the present, and the future, after all, Xu Jinxin's personality and Qin Yu's personality are completely different.

Seeing his daughter being so unreasonable to Qin Yu, Prime Minister Xu would surely start scolding her from this moment on.

Xu Jinxin felt extremely wronged after being suddenly reprimanded, never expecting the Prime Minister to scold her.

The Prime Minister must have immediately instructed Xu Jinxin and Qin Yu to bow to each other at that moment.
