Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

"Your Highness, I have something to tell you. They say that Young Master Shangguan came by earlier, but he left after learning that Your Highness was not here." The person who said this was naturally Qin Yu, a recently recruited subordinate named Nangong Lingxu.

After Nangong Lingxu told Qin Yu about this, Qin Yu decided to go to the Shangguan residence to see what kind of trouble Shangguan Mufeng was up to. Qin Yu then arrived at the residence.

Shangguan Mufeng told Qin Yu that she wanted to invite Qin Yu to the wedding banquet, but she didn't know if Qin Yu would be willing to come. More importantly, she wanted to invite Qin Yu in person, rather than handing her an invitation. That's why she came to the Princess's residence in person.

Qin Yu had undoubtedly agreed without hesitation and informed Shangguan Mufeng without any problems. At this moment, Shangguan Mufeng handed the invitation to Qin Yu and told her that he hoped she would come next month.

"I am truly sorry, but I must travel to Jiangnan at that time, so I will not be here. Regarding this matter, I am willing to give you a generous gift to express my apologies."

Qin Yu wanted to give Shangguan Mufeng a higher official rank, so that Shangguan Mufeng's official position could be promoted further.

Afterwards, Qin Yu arrived at the palace.

When the Grand Tutor saw Qin Yu, he was surprised for a moment. He had never expected that Qin Yu would come to the palace. It was really unbelievable. He didn't know why Qin Yu had come to the palace, so he asked her.

"I never expected to see Her Highness here. It's quite surprising, even to me. How did Her Highness end up in the palace all of a sudden?"

Qin Yu didn't even bother to acknowledge the person in front of her, giving him only a cold glance before the Grand Tutor said, "Actually, I don't think the Grand Tutor needs to be so hypocritical here, after all, I won't fall for that."

Qin Yu then went directly to find Qin Yanling, only to find that Qin Yanling was reviewing memorials in the Imperial Study. Upon arriving, she discovered a mountain of memorials piled up there.

Qin Yu was stunned for a moment, after all, she had never been to the Imperial Study before, and now that she was here and saw so many memorials, she felt as if she were in a dream.

"Why has Your Highness found time to come here today? Does Your Highness perhaps wish to have another chat with these two people?"

"I've come here to tell you something. You should know that Shangguan Mufeng is getting married soon. I hope you can give him a promotion, that is, raise his official rank to this level."

Qin Yanling instantly understood why he had come; this was a trivial matter for him. He readily agreed to give Shangguan Mofang a higher official rank.

"Your Majesty, do you hate me? After all, I sent you to Jiangnan. This is a matter for officials of the court, but I made you, a woman, do it. I feel a little guilty about it."

"As far as I am concerned, this matter is not important to me. I have other matters to attend to and will take my leave now. I hope that Your Majesty will keep your word and not linger here, otherwise I will be angry."

After saying these words, Qin Yu didn't even turn her head without hesitation, while Mo Yun was waiting for Qin Yu outside.

"your Highness."

Seeing Mo Yun's appearance, Qin Yu smiled and left the palace with Mo Yun.

The sight of the two of them with their arms around each other was clearly seen by the surrounding palace maids. Even the palace maids couldn't help but gossip behind Qin Yu's back, saying things like he was indecent. When Qin Yu heard this, he walked straight up to one of the palace maids and kicked her to the ground.

“You are nothing but a lowly palace maid. How can you compare yourself to me? You dare to talk about me here. I will drag you away and give you eighty strokes of the cane.”

The palace maid dressed in pink immediately knelt on the ground, begging Qin Yu to let her off the hook, as she knew she had made a mistake.

Unexpectedly, Qin Yu didn't listen to what the people around him said at all. He ordered the eunuchs to drag the palace maid away, and then Qin Yu continued to walk forward. The people thought that Qin Yu was indeed decisive and ruthless, and even pleading was useless.

"However, I think what Her Highness said is indeed the truth. After all, Her Highness is the eldest princess, a very precious status, and not just anyone can talk about her here. We are just lowly palace maids, of humble status, yet we are talking about her here. No wonder..."

Then Qin Yu turned her attention to Mo Yun's thoughts, asking Mo Yun if what she had just done was a bit excessive. Mo Yun told Qin Yu that it was not excessive, but that he thought Qin Yu had done a pretty good job.

"Your Highness has never asked your subordinates such questions before. It's quite puzzling why Your Highness is asking me these things now."

"The reason for these things is simply because I feel that my hands are stained with too much blood. Along the way, I feel that I am an unforgivable villain."

Mo Yun felt extremely sad upon hearing what Qin Yu said. He didn't want Qin Yu to have such thoughts and only hoped that Qin Yu could be happy.

"Your Highness, what are you saying? How could Your Highness be such a heinous person? Your Highness, please don't say such things here. To me, Your Highness is my god."

Mo Yun and Qin Yu returned to the Princess's residence. Qin Yu then learned that the last day of their trip to Jiangnan was ten days from now, meaning that Qin Yu could stay in the capital for ten days.

I wonder what will happen in Kyoto during this month?
