Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

"You said it yourself, you have to go and ask right away."

The governor has been working hard and worrying about his daughter's marriage here.

He couldn't understand why his daughter would focus her attention on Shangguan.

Shangguan Mufeng then went directly to Qin Yu. "Your Highness, there is something I wish to tell you. The Governor's daughter is now holding a martial arts contest to choose a husband. Do you think I should participate?"

Upon hearing Shangguan Mufeng's words, Qin Yu couldn't help but burst into laughter, gently patting Shangguan Mufeng's shoulder. "I want to ask you, do you want to go now? I can see from your eyes that you clearly want to go, so why don't you go?"

Hearing Qin Yu say this, Shangguan Mufeng didn't know how to respond, while Qin Yu was filled with mixed feelings.

"Actually, I do want to go, but for some reason, I don't really want to go. I feel a little awkward about it. More importantly, I've realized that I can't give her what she wants."

Hearing what he was saying, Qin Yujiao found it all quite ridiculous.

"Actually, for me, I think it's best to follow my heart and not worry about the outcome. As far as I know, the Governor should be going to see you today."

He was quite shocked that Qin Yu knew about this matter.

Actually, I did come here today.

But for him, he really didn't know what the most appropriate thing to do was.

After much deliberation, he finally made his decision. "Your Highness, I have made a decision, and that decision is to participate in this martial arts contest to choose a husband. Whether I succeed or not, I will not regret it."

Qin Yu nodded slightly as she listened to what he said.

For Qin Yu, the best course of action is to avoid regret before doing anything.

Time passed by, and Prime Minister Xu was about to travel to Jiangnan.

However, on the night before his trip to Jiangnan, Prime Minister Xu was attacked by assassins.

This matter came to the attention of Cheng Qixia and the ministers in the court.

Everyone was discussing it. "Why would the student council suddenly encounter an assassin?"

They are all in a state of great confusion right now.

"Prime Minister Xu was supposed to go to Jiangnan tomorrow, but he was attacked by assassins today. It seems that this was all premeditated."

Some people, however, were very worried about Prime Minister Xu's safety.

"I don't know why, but I feel that all of this is like a premonition. They may very well be doing this as a warning."

When this person said this, all the other officials chimed in.

"I don't know why, but I feel that what you said makes a lot of sense, and it is very likely that it is meant as a warning."

If that's really the case, what should we do next?

These are the questions they are all pondering here.

However, some people decided to report this matter to Qin Yanling.

"I think His Majesty should know about this. After all, the fact that we all know about this means that it has caused quite a stir. How could His Majesty, as the supreme ruler, not know about it?"

If that's really the case, what should we do next?

They must all be thinking seriously here.

They were all very curious to know how Qin Yanling would handle this matter next.

"I don't know why, but I feel that His Majesty is very likely to replace him with someone else."

However, some officials felt that the emperor would not be replaced.

"If Your Majesty wants to replace someone, who could you possibly replace them with? It seems there's no one. If Your Majesty were to replace the Princess, the Princess would certainly..."

They had already ruled out Qin Yu from the start.

After they ruled out Qin Yu, some people turned their attention to Shangguan Mufeng.

"I don't know why, but I feel that Shangguan..."

Qin Yu sat in the princess's residence and couldn't help but yawn.

"Your Highness has something to tell you: Prime Minister Xu has been ambushed."

Upon hearing that Prime Minister Xu had been ambushed, Qin Yu was puzzled, having no idea what had happened. Qin Yu then turned her attention to Mo Yun.

"I don't quite understand what you mean by that. Why don't you just tell me directly? I'm quite curious about it."

To be honest, Qin Yu really had no idea what had happened.

Qin Yu then turned his attention to Mo Yun. "Why don't you go to Prime Minister Xu's residence now and see if this person was really attacked or if it was just a ruse?"

Meanwhile, inside the Prime Minister's residence, the Prime Minister lay on his bed, his face pale.

Those around them turned their attention to Prime Minister Xu.

None of them knew anything about the current state of the Prime Minister.

Prime Minister Xu turned his gaze to the people around him. "How is your health these days? You seem to be in rather poor condition."

They were all here asking Prime Minister Xu questions.

Upon hearing their words, Prime Minister Xu indicated that he might truly be unable to get out of bed for some time.

Just then, Qin Yanling's eunuch announced from outside, "His Majesty has arrived."

When the people around heard that Qin Yanling had arrived, they hurriedly stood up.

They were all genuinely surprised that even Qin Yanling would come to this place. It was truly astonishing. Now that Qin Yanling was here, they were all eager to know how he would handle this matter.

"I wonder how your health is now, Imperial Uncle? Is there anything that's bothering you? If so, you must tell me."

When they heard Qin Yanling say this, they were all a little surprised, because none of them had expected that Qin Yanling would care so much about Prime Minister Xu.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Xu was secretly delighted.

"Your Majesty can rest assured, there is nothing wrong with me. Your Majesty need not worry too much. However, I will not be able to go down to Jiangnan tomorrow, and can only proceed for a few more days."

"If we keep pushing this on day after day, when will it ever end? I've decided not to send you, Prime Minister, on this trip to Jiangnan. I'll find someone else to go instead."
