Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

"Your Highness, I don't quite understand what you mean by that. Why don't you explain it to me properly?"

At this moment, Yuan Jie truly didn't know how to explain these things to Qin Yu and the other person.

Qin Yu turned her gaze to Yuan Jie and gently patted his shoulder. "Alright, keep an eye on Mo Yun during this time. For some reason, I sensed something was off about his expression just now."

Meanwhile, in the palace, Shangguan Tian'er was taking care of Xu Jiu.

But why did it happen during this time that Xu Jiu's physical condition seemed to be much worse than before?

Even though all the dishes delivered by the imperial kitchen during this period have been tested and are free of poison, why is Xu Jiu's health still so poor...?

Shangguan Tian'er felt that there was a reason for this, and then she decided to find out the reason herself.

When it was time for Xu Jiu to take her medicine, she poured it all into the bushes nearby. Shangguan Tian'er saw this clearly and came out to ask her earnestly, "Sister, why did you pour the medicine into these bushes? How can you stay healthy if you don't take your medicine? Please take it quickly."

Because Xu Jiu has always had a knot in her heart. She has always said that the person she loves is Shangguan Mufeng. However, Shangguan Mufeng is now deeply in love with many young ladies from various families. Rumors about their relationship are circulating among the people.

"Actually, you can tell your sister any worries you have. After all, you are both women in the palace, so you can understand each other to some extent."

"Because for me, I have never liked the emperor, but now I can't escape this palace, so I feel a little depressed."

"What are you saying, sister? Even if you don't like His Majesty, you still have to pretend here."

Although Shangguan Tian'er didn't really understand the rules and regulations of the palace.

"I know what you mean by these words, but for me, it is quite painful right now. Because for me, there has always only been Shangguan Mufeng in my heart. I suppose you were very aware of this back in the Princess's residence."

Murong Xueqi happened to arrive and overheard them talking about Shangguan Mufeng or something. For a moment, she was puzzled, wondering what had happened.

Murong Xueqi then walked step by step towards it, eager to know what was going on.

After listening for a while, I realized that none of them were mentioning Shangguan Mufeng's current relationship with Murong Xueqi, and I wondered if there was something wrong with my ears.

Shangguan Tian'er and Xu Jiu must already know about Murong Xueqi's arrival. They certainly haven't talked about Shangguan Mufeng since, because if this person overheard them, he might cause some other trouble.

To avoid any further trouble, the two of them remained silent and stayed quietly to the side.

"I didn't expect my sister to be here. Now that she's here, why hasn't she said a word? It's a bit of a surprise to me."

"Yes, since we've already come all this way, it would be unacceptable if we didn't greet them. Wouldn't that make us seem like we haven't been hospitable enough?"

"Sisters, what are you saying? How could I say you haven't been hospitable? You haven't done anything wrong at all, have you?"

For a fleeting moment, they all felt a touch of irony.

In the end, Shangguan Tian'er had a pretentious exchange with her here.

Finally, he came up with an excuse and sent Murong Xueqi away, leaving only Shangguan Tian'er and Xu Jiu behind. "If Her Highness the Princess finds out about this, she will be very sad."

"I know exactly what I should do. It's just a bowl of medicine, isn't it? I also believe that Your Highness can lead me out of the palace and give me my freedom. I am willing to trust Your Highness."

After all, Qin Yu had promised Xu Jiu that one day he would definitely take Xu Jiu away from the palace.

Xu Jiu then turned his attention to Shangguan Tian'er, expressing his gratitude there.

"I am truly very grateful. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't understand why."

Looking back on everything that happened, it all feels like a dream at this moment.

But thankfully, it doesn't feel like a dream now.

Xu Jiu then turned her gaze to the distance, believing that one day she would be able to escape from these red walls.

"By the way, I remember that some new people have been arriving in the palace recently. I wonder where they will be assigned!"

Every now and then, a few new people would arrive at the palace.

They were quite curious whether the ministers in the court didn't feel tired, constantly stuffing women into the harem.

"These things have nothing to do with us. We just need to do our own thing."

Because these tasks were all entrusted to the Imperial Household Department.

In addition, there is the principle of "when soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it."

If anyone tries to cause trouble here, Shangguan Tian'er will definitely be the first to get away with it.

After all, the emperor has already handed over all the power to her, hasn't he? He has the right to manage the harem.

"However, I think the Emperor values ​​you quite a bit, after all, he has entrusted you with the power in the palace."

At this moment, Shangguan Tian'er simply smiled faintly. "Sister, I have absolutely no interest in this matter. In this palace, part of it is my duty, and part of it is something I have no choice in."

Thinking about it carefully, it really makes sense. I really don't know why they all want to stay in the palace, where it's so boring.

There are so many fun things to do at this market, but now that we're inside the palace...
