Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

"Oh, right, there's one more thing I forgot to tell Your Majesty. It's true that the foreign country will be visiting here soon. Also, this Xi Nufeng is an imposter; in other words, Xi Nufeng is not from the foreign country."

Then Qin Yu told Qin Yanling that they had to be careful from now on.

Upon hearing Qin Yu's words, Qin Yanling immediately told Qin Yu everything, promising to be more careful and reassuring her not to worry too much.

Qin Yu then turned his attention to Qin Yanling, only to find that Qin Yanling was staring at him the whole time, which made Qin Yu feel a little confused.

"Why are you suddenly here staring at me all this time?"

When Qin Yanling came to her senses, she told Qin Yu that she had just been lost in thought and had not been looking at Qin Yu.

"Your Majesty, I've been thinking about something lately. Do you really think I'm a good emperor? I don't know why, but I feel utterly useless. I have to do everything for you."

Then Qin Yanling told Qin Yu that if Qin Yu were the emperor, he would never let anyone handle these matters.

Qin Yu knew perfectly well that Qin Yanling was testing her.

Qin Yu never imagined that as siblings, they would have to test each other here, which made her feel a little sad.

"I have no interest in the throne. I only hope that one day you will be able to handle all matters properly."

The maids around Qin Yu were completely baffled by what she said out of the blue, but Qin Yanling understood.

"Your Majesty, you're overthinking it. I didn't mean to say you were plotting to seize power. It's just that I feel quite tired being the emperor. I have endless documents to review every day, and I also have to be wary of the ministers in the court from time to time. It's really making me feel a bit weary."

Qin Yanling desperately wanted some time to rest, but found that there was no time to rest at all.

"Everything takes time. Do you think becoming a king is easy? I'll take my leave now."

Qin Yu smoothed his sleeves and left without even turning his head, leaving Qin Yanling standing there alone.

Qin Yanling fixed his gaze on Qin Yu, his hands clenched tightly. In truth, all he had ever wanted was military power in the National Protection Army, but it remained firmly in Qin Yu's hands.

If he held military power, why should he fear these people?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

Shangguan Tian'er happened to arrive and, seeing Qin Yanling's unusual expression, comforted him. "Why do I sense that His Majesty has encountered something?"

Shangguan Tian'er asked Qin Yanling in a gentle voice, "I haven't encountered anything. How did you suddenly come here?"

"I recently learned a new dance, and I wonder if Your Majesty would like to see it."

Then Shangguan Tian'er danced here, and her beautiful dance moves made Qin Yanling lose his mind.

"I have something I want to ask you. Now that you are my concubine, in your heart, am I more important or is Her Highness the Princess more important?"

"Your Majesty, what are you saying? You are obviously more important. Why are you comparing yourself to Her Highness the Princess? Her Highness the Princess is just a thing of the past."

For some reason, Qin Yanling felt happy upon hearing these words. He then immediately pulled Shangguan Tian'er into his arms and asked her, "If I had military power, wouldn't I be able to do whatever I wanted?"

Qin Yanling really wanted to obtain military power. How could he do so in order to weaken Qin Yu's power?

The Imperial Guards now listen to Qin Yu.

Shangguan Tian'er never expected that Qin Yanling would actually want to obtain Bingcheng.

After Shangguan Tian'er returned to her palace, she took a carrier pigeon, which flew from the sky to the princess's residence.

Qin Yu accepted the carrier pigeon without hesitation, and upon seeing the message on it, she felt utterly astonished.

She never imagined that Qin Yanling actually desired military power.

Looking at the two military tallies in his hand, Qin Yu finally decided to hand over the Imperial Guard's military tally to Qin Yanling.

As for the military seal of the National Protection Army, Qin Yu did not have such thoughts for the time being.

"Why is Your Highness staring blankly at these two military tallies in your hand? Is Your Highness perhaps going to give one of them to the Emperor now?"

"You guessed correctly, I did indeed intend to hand over one of the military tallies to the Emperor."

Mo Yun asked Qin Yu why.

"The reason I did this is actually very simple: it's just to ensure that he also has some power in his hands. After all, he has no power at all, but he is a monarch, isn't he?"

As Qin Yu wielded more and more power, those around him began to watch him with predatory eyes, which made Qin Yu feel somewhat weary.

"Actually, if this person trusted me, I might hand over all the power to him now. It's just a pity that he is suspicious of me, so I have to be wary."

More importantly, there is a tiger and leopard in this court, and this tiger and leopard is none other than Prime Minister Xu.

Qin Yu was fully aware of Prime Minister Xu's wolfish ambitions.

"Do you think I shouldn't hand over command of the Imperial Guard to Qin Yanling now?"

"Your Highness, what are you saying? Whether Your Highness gives it or not, I will always support you. Even if Your Highness is surrounded by a crowd one day, I will protect you from harm."

If it weren't for the fact that I was the only one who had been reborn.

She was starting to suspect that Mo Yun had also been reborn.

However, Qin Yu was very happy because she and Mo Yun could start over.

In his previous life, Qin Yu had never noticed this little guard, but fortunately, he could make up for it in this life.

"Your Highness, why are you suddenly standing here in a daze? Has something happened?"
