Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

After that, Qin Yu turned her attention to Qin Yanling.

"There is one more thing I would like to tell Your Majesty. I have no interest in the so-called throne. So Your Majesty can rest assured. I only wish that Your Majesty can be a wise and benevolent ruler."

If Qin Yu truly had no interest in the throne, why was he unwilling to hand over the military power of the National Protection Army to him?

Qin Yanling dared not mention this matter, fearing it would anger Qin Yu later.

Qin Yu, using her mind-reading ability, naturally knew what Qin Yanling was thinking.

Regarding this matter, Qin Yu naturally didn't know how to explain it to Qin Yanling for the time being. Once the world was at peace and there was no more turmoil, and once the troublemakers in the court were dealt with, Qin Yu would definitely hand over all the soldiers of the Protectorate Army to Qin Yanling.

At this moment, Prime Minister Xu must have personally come to the Imperial Study. As soon as he arrived, he knelt down on the ground with a thud. "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I failed to handle this matter well today and caused trouble for Her Highness the Princess."

Qin Yanling did not hesitate to punish Prime Minister Xu with fifteen strokes of the cane and deduct a month's salary. Qin Yanling must have accepted it. Although Prime Minister Xu did not want to accept it, he had no choice but to accept it.

After being given fifteen strokes of the cane, Prime Minister Xu limped back to his residence and returned home.

When Xu Jinxin saw the Prime Minister's appearance, she was somewhat surprised. She never expected that the Prime Minister would come back limping. Judging from the Prime Minister's appearance, it seemed that he had been punished. Xu Jinxin felt sorry for him and went directly to the Prime Minister.

"Father, I'm really surprised that you were punished here out of the blue. Did you do something wrong? Why don't you tell me?"

"I don't have any special relationship with you, so you don't need to think too much about it, okay? The only thing I want to tell you is that I need to rest. Go and find a doctor for me."

Xu Jinxin felt that this matter was definitely related to Qin Yu and the other person, so she silently made up her mind to get rid of Qin Yu.

Xu Jinxin then went to find a doctor for Prime Minister Xu. Once the doctor arrives, he will definitely treat Prime Minister Xu here.

After the doctor left, Xu Jinxin questioned Prime Minister Xu. "Father, I never imagined that Her Highness the Princess would be so outrageous."

"It's true that I made a mistake today, and it's not Her Highness's fault. However, the princess's mind is indeed much sharper than that of some officials in the court. Therefore, I've decided that I must give the princess away, otherwise, it's highly likely..."

Xu Jinxin was confused and didn't quite understand what was being said.

"My daughter doesn't understand what you mean by that. What do you mean by saying that the princess is indeed smarter than some of the officials in the court?"

At this moment, Prime Minister Xu raised his head and looked at Xu Jinxin, telling her that she only needed to be a good young lady and that he didn't need to get involved in other matters.

"There's something I forgot to tell you: I've decided to betroth you to..."

Unexpectedly, Xu Jinxin directly said she would not marry him, and stated that she would not marry anyone but Leng Xiucheng in this life. At this time, Prime Minister Xu really felt a bit of a headache.

"Your father wants to ask you what's so good about Leng Xiucheng that you have to marry him. He thinks there's nothing good about Leng Xiucheng, but you insist on marrying him at this time."

This really puzzled Prime Minister Xu. After thinking it over carefully, it seemed that Leng Xiucheng didn't have any useful qualities.

More importantly, Leng Xiucheng is not capable of handling things and acts like a fool. Therefore, Prime Minister Xu felt that Leng Xiucheng was not worthy of his daughter at all. However, Xu Jinxin directly stated that it was because Prime Minister Xu did not understand Leng Xiucheng that he thought this way.

The father and daughter naturally had a big argument here, and in the end, Xu Jinxin left the Prime Minister's mansion and wandered aimlessly outside, feeling extremely sad.

As luck would have it, they ran into Leng Xiucheng here. After meeting him, Leng Xiucheng was very puzzled as to why Xu Jinxin was here all of a sudden. It was quite surprising.

"I sense that you seem a little down. Is something wrong? If so, why not tell me now? I wonder what you think."

Leng Xiucheng gently inquired about Xu Jinxin's situation. Xu Jinxin was willing to tell Leng Xiucheng everything. Indeed, some things had happened, and more importantly, none of them could understand Xu Jinxin.

That's because they can't understand Xu Jinxin, which is why she's sighing here. But I really want to know what caused this incomprehension.

"Why don't you tell me now what exactly happened? I don't know what you think."

In the end, Xu Jinxin must have told Leng Xiucheng the whole story. After learning the details, Leng Xiucheng was surprised for a moment.

"Do you really want to marry me? Do you really want to be my wife? If you do, then I will definitely work hard for our relationship. What do you think?"

Hearing Leng Xiucheng say that, Xu Jinxin felt happy.

Xu Jinxin agreed to the matter without hesitation, and then told Leng Xiucheng that she would be waiting for him there.

Meanwhile, Leng Xiucheng and Xu Jinxin were having a great time playing together when they unexpectedly ran into Cheng Qixia.

Cheng Qixia saw the two people arrive at this place. At this moment, Cheng Qixia definitely didn't like Xu Jinxin very much, because Xu Jinxin and Qin Yu were enemies.

"I never expected to meet you all here. It really seems like fate."
