Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

"I really can't figure it out."

These words were spoken by Li Mao, a third-rank official.

He had long disliked Qin Yu, or rather, he had a great deal of resentment towards Qin Yu.

Qin Yu's actions have always violated their principles. After all, they feel that Qin Yu is constantly challenging their conscience. Not only does she hold military power, but Qin Yu in Beijing also insists on opening a girls' school here.

They felt that Qin Yu was becoming increasingly arrogant.

"What you're saying now is quite puzzling to me. If there's anything you don't understand, just say it directly and let me see if I share the same thoughts as you."

"What I don't understand is simply why Her Highness the Princess insists on going at this particular time..."

They all knew that Qin Yu was going to open a girls' school.

They decided to go into the palace to find Qin Yanling and have a proper discussion about this matter.

Afterwards, they arrived at the palace. Qin Yanling was immediately puzzled when she saw their arrival.

Qin Yanling, unaware of their purpose in coming, turned his gaze to them. "I wonder why you officials have come here all of a sudden? Has something happened?"

They would all be willing to tell Qin Yanling what had happened.

"Your Majesty, you may not know this, but do you know that Her Highness the Princess is in this recently opened girls' school?"

Qin Yanling stared at them in disbelief upon hearing about the girls' school. She had never imagined that such a school would be set up here, and she couldn't understand what Qin Yu was thinking.

Are you all sure that Qin Yu has opened a girls' school?

They all made guarantees to Qin Yanling right there and then.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely true."

Qin Yanling decided to send someone to investigate thoroughly later to see if the matter was true or false.

In the end, Qin Yanling sent them all away, leaving only Xiao Li and Qin Yanling alone there.

"What should we do if Your Majesty says this is true?"

"If this is true, I think my elder sister has her own reasons for doing this, and I will not refute them."

"I never expected His Majesty to agree and not object. It's quite surprising, even to this servant. I must say, His Majesty's feelings for the princess are truly deep."

In fact, Qin Yanling's attitude towards Qin Yu was partly one of respect and partly one of fear. He respected her because Qin Yu was just a woman, yet she was able to intimidate so many people. He feared that one day his throne would be taken by Qin Yu.

He looked up at the sky outside, recalling the past, and for a moment felt as if it were all a dream.

He desperately hoped that he could take good control of the dynasty and ensure its smooth development, so that he too could become a wise ruler.

However, he felt that becoming a so-called wise ruler was really too difficult. After all, throughout history, there have only been a handful of wise rulers who have been remembered by the world.

He actually wanted to be remembered for eternity and praised by the world, and for some reason, at that moment he felt like he was dreaming.

"What is Your Majesty pondering? Would Your Majesty be willing to tell this servant? I will answer you with anything I know."

"I'm not thinking about anything, you don't need to overthink it. I'm just thinking about some trivial things. As far as I'm concerned, I hope things can develop slowly. I don't want things to develop too smoothly, because it makes me feel a little panicked."

Upon hearing the emperor's words, Li Zi was momentarily confused. He couldn't quite understand what the person in front of him meant, so he simply stood aside and nodded slightly.

"Although I don't quite understand Your Majesty's intention in saying this, I still hope Your Majesty can understand..."

He was just a lackey, and all the principles he understood were things he had learned over the years.

Another reason was that his master told him this, but being in a high position, he might have felt a little lonely.

Sometimes he would see the king standing under the peach tree, lost in thought, seemingly pondering something, and as a servant, he could only silently stay behind him.

A light rain began to fall from the sky, and Qin Yanling decided to take a walk in the rain. Xiao Li immediately refused when he saw this.

"Your Majesty, it would be best if you caught a cold. So Your Majesty should go inside quickly and not walk in the rain. If you really catch a cold, the ministers in the court will probably be worried."

Qin Yanling only turned his head to look, and Xiao Lizi told him to leave first. He wanted to walk around by himself. In the end, due to the pressure, Xiao Lizi had no choice but to leave alone, leaving Qin Yanling alone here.

Qin Yanling strolled slowly by himself, his gaze fixed on the pavilion ahead. He eventually entered the pavilion and sat down, reminiscing about events from a long, long time ago. It seemed that before he became a king, he and Qin Yu had played and frolicked here.

As luck would have it, Murong Xueqi arrived at the scene and saw Qin Yanling's appearance. Naturally, she was somewhat puzzled, but she also felt this was a good opportunity. She walked directly to Qin Yanling and said in a sweet voice, "Why is Your Majesty alone here? Shouldn't Your Majesty be with..."

Unexpectedly, Qin Yanling only raised his head to glance at Murong Xueqi before directly telling her to leave, which shocked Murong Xueqi.

Murong Xueqi wondered why Qin Yanling wanted to drive her away when she had done nothing wrong.

Murong Xueqi had no choice but to leave, as staying here might anger Qin Yanling.

Afterwards, Murong Xueqi quickly left the place and went to the pavilion. There was a Chunfeng Pavilion in the palace, and this pavilion was very high. Murong Xueqi came to the Chunfeng Pavilion alone and looked down at Qin Yanling from there.
