Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

"Before this, I originally wanted to become an official in the imperial court, but after seeing what they did, I really have no more such thoughts."

At this moment, Cheng Qixia decided to treat the scholar in front of her as her subordinate, and immediately revealed her identity.

When Cheng Qixia revealed his identity, the scholar was undoubtedly surprised and immediately knelt down on the ground. Cheng Qixia then helped the scholar up.

"Although I am a prince, I am still just a person, so there is no need for you to treat me like this. Why don't you come with me to my palace for a while? What do you think?"

Cheng Qixia then kept her eyes on the scholar and asked him his name. The scholar told Cheng Qixia that his name was Ye Qinghan, and then followed Cheng Qixia back to the palace.

Upon his return, Cheng Qixia naturally treated Ye Qinghan to a very warm welcome. Ye Qinghan was overjoyed by this hospitality.

Cheng Qixia then turned her gaze to the scholar.

After observing him closely, Cheng Qixia could clearly understand one thing: the scholar in front of her must be from a poor family.

Afterwards, Cheng Qixia asked the scholar to work in the Prince's mansion from then on, and even gave the scholar a large sum of money. The scholar immediately had this idea and was willing to stay in the Prince's mansion to work.

However, on the other side...

Prime Minister Xu must have already learned about the Rakshasa Shadow Pavilion's affairs by this time. He was furious; he never imagined that Qin Yu would swindle such a large sum of money from him.

At this moment, Prime Minister Xu was so angry that he stomped his feet on the spot, but no matter how angry he was, it was too late to get the money back.

"I never imagined things would develop to this extent. I never expected to be swindled out of so much money by this princess. I never imagined it would turn out this way."

At this moment, Prime Minister Xu wished he could go and teach Qin Yu a good lesson, but unfortunately, Qin Yu's strength was too great and he couldn't beat him at all. More importantly, Qin Yu's ability to make money was also very strong.

Afterwards, Prime Minister Xu sat there pondering how to get back the money that Qin Yu had swindled from him, and also how he had been disliked by the emperor for the past few days.

He had been thinking about how to gain the emperor's trust. If it weren't for the emperor's consideration that he was his uncle, he would probably be dead by now.

"Why is this king so disappointed in me all of a sudden? Is there something I've done wrong? I've thought about it carefully, and I don't think I've done anything wrong. Why is this king so disappointed in me..."

He kept asking the person next to him, who didn't know how to answer Prime Minister Xu. Perhaps it was because Prime Minister Xu had offended the emperor in some way.

"Isn't the emperor currently here, at this very moment, troubled by the plight of the common people?"

It was at this point that Prime Minister Xu decided to help the king resolve the matter. Perhaps in doing so, the king would regain his trust, as his status was above all others, second only to the emperor and the princess.

He absolutely had to hold onto his position well. What if the emperor became even more disappointed in him and dismissed him from his post, and a new prime minister was chosen instead?

"Father, why did you return from the imperial court? You've been so melancholy ever since. Did something happen during this time?"

There's no way that Prime Minister Xu would tell Xu Jinxin all of this.

Afterwards, Prime Minister Xu went directly to find the Grand Tutor. When the Grand Tutor saw Prime Minister Xu, he was naturally incredulous and wondered if the sun had risen from the west.

"It's quite unbelievable that the Prime Minister would come here today. I never expected him to do so."

"During this time, His Majesty has been troubled by the affairs of the common people. He has come here only to meet you. So, what do you think we should do to help His Majesty share his burdens?"

Unexpectedly, the Grand Tutor was watching Prime Minister Xu from his high vantage point at this moment. After all, he knew the specific situation of Prime Minister Xu in front of the emperor during this period. Now he came to him simply because he had value to be used.

After all, he was the Grand Tutor. As a Grand Tutor, he was naturally always by the emperor's side and had a say in the emperor's affairs.

During this period, this person was unable to speak in front of the emperor, so he had no choice but to seek his help.

As expected, karma is a cycle, and no one escapes the wrath of Heaven. In the past, this person was extremely proud, but now he is actually begging from him.

He must have found it very funny at that moment.

"If you can discuss this matter with me and handle it properly for me, I will certainly not treat you unfairly. Don't forget my identity as the Prime Minister."

"Even if you are the prime minister, so what? You no longer have any say in front of the emperor, do you? That is an unchangeable fact."

The prime minister must have been in a state of anger at that moment, and never expected things to turn out this way.

But at this moment, he had no way to directly curse the person in front of him, so he could only swallow his anger.
