Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

When Qin Yu saw this person's appearance, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Do I look like someone who would eat people? Why are you so afraid of me?"

Upon hearing Qin Yu's words, the butler was naturally quite embarrassed and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

“Your Highness is absolutely right. It is quite cold outside. Please come in and have a seat.”

The butler gestured for them to enter, and Qin Yu, without thinking too much about it, went straight inside.

Finally, Qin Yu arrived in the hall and unexpectedly saw Shangguan Mufeng and Li Fengbai discussing matters.

This action naturally made Qin Yu feel somewhat incredulous.

Qin Yuqian never imagined that the two of them would actually end up together.

"Your Highness, what brings you here?"

The two of them hurriedly stood up and bowed to Qin Yu to pay their respects.

"I have heard about these things in the court, and some people are worried about Lord Shangguan. So I came here just to ask if Lord Shangguan has thought of any solutions."

The important thing is that Shangguan Mufeng has already offended so many officials in the court. They probably already consider him a thorn in their side.

They must have all been thinking about what would happen if they all joined forces to deal with the person in front of them.

"Your Highness, have you ever heard the saying, 'The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind'?"

In fact, he did this on purpose to make the officials in the court mindful of potential dangers even in times of peace.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu was somewhat surprised for a moment.

"These officials are in a state of panic right now. They are all worried about their own interests. Once there is a real gap between them, they will fall apart."

His reason for doing this was to dismantle them all.

He believes he is now fully capable.

"I must say you're quite bold, but I'm still very worried about you."

"Your Highness, what are you saying? I have already survived those difficult days. These are just some minor difficulties. I am not afraid at all."

At this moment, Qin Yu told Shangguan Mufeng that if there was anything he needed help with, Shangguan Mufeng could simply say so.

"His Majesty has been looking up to me a lot lately, so I only need to tell His Majesty whatever he says, and His Majesty will always have my back."

This shocked Qin Yu even more, as she never expected Qin Yanling to value Shangguan Mufeng so much recently.

However, these are all feasible, since Shangguan Mufeng has essentially found himself a powerful backer.

"I came here just to see if you were alright. Now that you are, I am relieved."

These days, the weather is freezing cold, and the people are complaining bitterly. It's truly a very troublesome situation.

"Your Highness, there is actually another matter you would like to ask you."

These were the words of Li Fengbai, who was quite curious to know Qin Yu's opinion.

Qin Yu was a little puzzled, so she asked Li Fengbai. "If you have something to say, you can speak frankly."

"If Your Highness were to face these matters as a monarch, how would Your Highness handle them?"

This actually made Qin Yu a little confused.

"If it were me, I would probably go and properly appease these common people."

If someone needs housing, then naturally they will be arranged to go to a place where housing is available.

As the saying goes, the will of the people is the most important thing.

If a ruler fails to win the hearts of his people, then the inevitable outcome will be...

"Your Highness can actually tell His Majesty your thoughts. As Your Majesty's younger brother, His Majesty will surely be willing to listen."

Qin Yu hadn't expected that they all had such a plan.

"Actually, there are many things that are useless for me to say. It's better to let him figure them out on his own. Why should I bother?"

Moreover, as a monarch, Qin Yanling naturally faces many, many things that Qin Yu cannot help with. Qin Yu hopes that he can grow here on his own.

Although Qin Yu held the military power of the National Protection Army, he still hoped that one day this power could be given to Qin Yanling.

However, that day will be a long way off.

"I came here simply to ask about these things. Now that I have asked, I feel there is nothing more to ask, so I will take my leave."

After Qin Yu left, Li Fengbai and Shangguan Mufeng went to the street and saw many people huddled together for warmth, as none of them had a suitable place to live.

After Li Fengbai and Shangguan Mufeng suddenly remembered the house they controlled, they arranged for everyone to move into the empty house.

"You can all rest well here. We'll have someone bring you blankets and such later..."

Just then, one of the ordinary citizens fainted. Li Fengbai and Shangguan Mufeng went forward and hurriedly helped him up, only to find that he was ice cold all over.

This snowfall was truly too much...

Shangguan Mufeng immediately took off his own cloak and draped it over the person. Once the person was warmed up, he woke up.

After he woke up, he hurriedly arranged for everyone to move to their separate courtyard.

"You all stay here for now. Someone will bring you some food later."

Seeing how they all looked, they must all be feeling a little bad right now.

For both Shangguan Mufeng and Li Fengbai, they still hoped that these ordinary people could have a home.

But now, looking at things as they are, how can they have a home? Their hearts are filled with mixed emotions.

The common people here must be overjoyed at this moment, and they are all grateful to Shangguan Mufeng and Li Fengbai.

"Actually, His Majesty is also..."

Unexpectedly, these common people were all talking about how great the emperor was.

From their tone, Shangguan Mufeng and Li Fengbai could sense that they harbored a certain aversion to the emperor.
