Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

Qin Yanling was reviewing memorials in the imperial study.

Looking at the mountain of memorials piled up on the table, he felt extremely annoyed.

Jiang Yu saw that Qin Yanling was having a headache from reviewing memorials, so she walked up to Qin Yanling.

"Your Majesty, shall I massage your head?"

Qin Yanling put down the pen in her hand, nodded slightly, and closed her eyes.

Jiang Yu was massaging Qin Yanling's head when, after only a few seconds, she heard the eunuch at the door say that the Grand Tutor was requesting an audience.

Qin Yanling was somewhat puzzled, wondering what the Grand Tutor's purpose was in coming here.

Unexpectedly, the Grand Tutor immediately knelt down on the ground upon arrival.

"Your Majesty, I wish to make room for one person, and that person is the Prince Yu."

Qin Yanling was even more confused. Why was she suddenly involved with the prince again?

Has this prince done something recently?

"Your Majesty, you are unaware of the truth, but this prince actually ordered my son to do some of the things that servants do today."

Then it is mentioned here again.

"Your Majesty, you must do me justice."

Qin Yanling was already in a state of utter distress when he heard him say this.

"Jiang Yu, go and invite the prince into the palace."

Cheng Qixia was about to rest when she heard a knock on the door.

The guards around him all came out and surrounded him.

This person was stunned in that instant.

"I came here only to find the Prince."

Hearing that familiar voice, I opened the door and saw Eunuch Jiang standing there.

"Why is Eunuch Jiang visiting so late at night? Has something happened?"

"Your Highness, please don't overthink it. His Majesty wishes to see you. Please, Eunuch Jiang, follow me."

In the dead of night, he was made to follow the eunuch in front of him.

Cheng Qixia was extremely puzzled, but she still did as Jiang Yu said.

Cheng Qixia really couldn't understand it on this journey.

"Eunuch Jiang, do you know the ins and outs of this matter?"

"The Grand Tutor is also here, so please, Your Highness..."

The Grand Tutor was also there, which was today. It seemed that Leng Xiucheng's father had gone to the palace to file a complaint.

This is truly laughable.

Leng Xiucheng is just like an unweaned baby, still waiting to be fed.

Upon arriving at the palace, he respectfully greeted the emperor.

"Your Majesty, why have you summoned me here? Is something the matter?"

"Eunuch Jiang offered a seat to the person."

That being said, Cheng Qixia is at least a prince. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to have a prince standing like this? It wouldn't be a problem for two people to stand together, but there are other people present.

"Your Highness, you may not know this, but the Grand Tutor said that you treated his son like a servant today. Is that true?"

"Your Majesty, what are you saying? I only wish to make friends with his two sons."

"Besides, have you forgotten? The customs and habits of my fiefdom are quite different from those of this place. This is merely a matter of my country making friends..."

The emperor turned his attention to the Grand Tutor.

"Grand Tutor Leng, this prince only wants to make friends with your son. Does your son not want to make friends?"

He then told Grand Tutor Leng where the two of them had met.

Grand Tutor Leng was extremely embarrassed and hurriedly apologized to Cheng Qixia.

"The misunderstanding has been cleared up. You may all leave now. I am also tired and wish to rest."

These people all bowed in unison to take their leave.

On the other side, inside the princess's residence.

"Your Highness, the Grand Tutor is visiting His Majesty late tonight."

Standing next to Qin Yu was a man dressed in black, wearing a mask that obscured his face.

Qin Yu gently removed the hairpin from her head, looked up and glanced at the guard.

"Besides this Grand Tutor, are there any other people?"

"And the prince."

If Qin Yu's guess is correct, the Grand Tutor's late-night visit must be because of the humiliation Leng Xiucheng suffered today.

Even for something like this, one's own father has to step in.

Qin Yu truly considered him a piece of trash.

In addition, the Grand Tutor returned home and comforted Leng Xiucheng.

"Well, since we have no other choice now, Your Highness, what should we do? Let's find that young master from today."

The Grand Tutor had this intention, so he summoned everyone and planned to have them search for it overnight.

Time flew by and the next day arrived.

I thought it would be effective, but to my surprise, there was no such person.

"Did this young master really say that he lived in that place?"

This question was posed to Leng Xiucheng, who confirmed that it was indeed the case.

"However, the investigation revealed that the person's home was never found."

For a moment, Leng Xiucheng felt a chill run down his spine. Was his father joking?

How could this be possible in broad daylight... I never expected this kid to dare to lie to him.

It's best not to get caught by him, otherwise we must teach him a lesson.

"By the way, Father, I still remember the face of the person from yesterday. I wonder if it would be possible to have someone draw a portrait of him so that someone can investigate him secretly."

Seeing how stubborn his son was, the Grand Tutor agreed.

Then, according to the portrait painted by the artist, the portrait fell to the ground with a thud.

"Dad, why are you suddenly so agitated? Has something happened?"

"Did you know that this portrait bears a striking resemblance to another princess?"

Leng Xiucheng nodded slightly. How could he not know?

"They are definitely not the same person."

Seeing Leng Xiucheng's confident demeanor, the Grand Tutor had already made up his mind.

Naturally, they would investigate in secret.

Qin Yu realized that someone was investigating her, which she found quite amusing.

"Your Highness, should this identity of yours be used in the future...?"

The rabbit overheard their conversation and couldn't help but ask.

"Your Highness, did you go to the market yesterday?"

"I did go there yesterday, but as a man. I also took the opportunity to teach Leng Xiucheng a lesson. No wonder the Grand Tutor sent people to look for me today. It seems he wants to teach me a lesson."

But the Grand Tutor's desire to teach her a lesson was wishful thinking.

"I never expected Your Highness to go out as a man yesterday; this is rather shocking to me."

"Your Highness, should I go and deal with these people now?"

"Let them investigate. I've hidden myself so well that they can only guess."

As long as Qin Yu doesn't reveal any clues, they won't remember this incident.

But it doesn't matter if we get caught.

Qin Yu's playful nature was known to all the civil and military officials in the court, so Qin Yu didn't need to deliberately hide it.

Mo Yun listened from the side, frowning.
