Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

Chunfeng could clearly sense that Murong Xueqi was no pushover. Although she was ill, there was a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes, as if she harbored a strong resentment towards Xu Jiu.

"Your Majesty, you are ill now, why have you come here to visit her? Could it be..."

Meanwhile, Murong Xueqi pretended that she just wanted to visit Xu Jiu, since she didn't know when her current physical condition would end.

As luck would have it, Qin Yanling had already arrived at Xu Jiu's palace, where Murong Xueqi was weeping and wailing.

Shangguan Tian'er now only feels disgusted.

Qin Yanling naturally comforted Murong Xueqi here, and then left with Murong Xueqi. At this time, Chunfeng and Shangguan Tian'er were talking about Murong Xueqi. "I really think this person in front of me is simply insane."

It was at this moment that they really felt the person in front of them seemed to be sick.

Xu Jiu overheard Shangguan Tian'er and Chunfeng's discussion and walked directly up to them. "There's something I forgot to tell you. I think I drank some of the things she gave me before, but I didn't think too much about it at the time. As a result, my body started having problems a few days later."

At that moment, both Shangguan Tian'er and Chunfeng had an idea. For some reason, they felt that this person definitely had some problems.

Ultimately, they decided to target Murong Xueqi. More importantly, Qin Yanling had just arrived and hadn't even exchanged a single word with Xu Jiu before Murong Xueqi had already taken him away.

"Actually, I'm quite frustrated at this moment. I always feel that Murong Xueqi has some kind of problem. After all, she pretended that we were all bullying her just now, even though I didn't bully her at all."

Then, at that moment, Shangguan Tian'er realized that being in the imperial family was indeed quite difficult.

After all, an emperor has three thousand concubines in his harem, doesn't he? I really can't understand how Qin Yanling can manage so many concubines.

Furthermore, the officials in the imperial court were constantly sending concubines into the palace. Shangguan Tian'er, who was in charge of managing all these concubines, was already having a terrible headache.

"If I may, I hope that after I have finished reporting some things to Her Highness the Princess, I will leave the palace when the time is right. I do not want to become one of her concubines."

As soon as he said this, Xu Jiu hurriedly covered Shangguan Tian'er's mouth. These kinds of things shouldn't be said casually. If someone overheard, it wouldn't be good if this got back to Qin Yanling.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Murong Xueqi was complaining to Qin Yanling.

"I know you mean well, but you must understand that Lin Fei's physical condition is quite serious. You are already ill, and if you go and infect Lin Fei, what will happen to Lin Fei and Fu Zhong's unborn child?"

"But all I want to do is see my sister. My health is getting worse and worse. I don't know how much longer I have to live. I'm just afraid that one day I won't be able to see my sister again."

For some reason, seeing Murong Xueqi in this state, Qin Yanling felt a pang of pity, especially since Murong Xueqi herself was also...

Afterwards, Qin Yanling returned to the Imperial Study and promoted Murong Xueqi's rank.

Upon learning of this matter, Shangguan Tian'er and Chunfeng immediately told Qin Yu. Qin Yu immediately instructed them to investigate. For some reason, Qin Yu also believed that this person was responsible.

After all, this person had fallen into the lotus pond a month ago due to a cunning act, and it is very likely that he was here to deal with Xu Jiu because of revenge.

If the goal is truly to deal with Xu Jiu here, then Qin Yu will absolutely not let this person off the hook in the future.

He would definitely pay the price himself, because Qin Yu didn't care much about human life or anything like that.

For Qin Yu, all she hopes now is that Xu Jiu can give birth to this child safely, because Qin Yu also hopes to raise this child to adulthood...

This way, she could have this child succeed Qin Yanling to the throne. After all, what if something happened to Qin Yanling? There wouldn't be an heir, would there? Besides, the ministers in the court should all share the same idea.

Mo Yun noticed that Qin Yu hadn't said a word, and for a moment, he felt puzzled. So, he asked Qin Yu, "Why does Your Highness seem so preoccupied these days? Has something happened?"

"I was just thinking about whether Xu Jiu could successfully give birth to a prince. After all, Xu Jiu's health has been getting worse lately, hasn't it? If this continues..."

If it weren't for the fact that Mo Yun was a man, Qin Yu would have wanted to place Mo Yun next to Xu Jiu and protect her. Unfortunately, Mo Yun was a man, and if such a man were placed next to Xu Jiu, it would likely cause controversy.

Therefore, Mo Yun cannot do such a thing.

"I just feel that Your Highness will be able to give birth to this child safely, especially since Her Highness the Princess is already by Your Highness's side."

Although that's what they said, Qin Yu was still quite worried. So Qin Yu decided to go to the palace to talk to Qin Yanling and invite Xu Jiu into the princess's residence.

When Prime Minister Xu learned of everything Qin Yu had done, he began to wonder why Qin Yu had been secretly protecting Xu Jiu, and whether Qin Yu was also after this child.

If that's really the case, then what should we do next? Everyone's definitely thinking about this here.
