Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

Inside the princess's residence, Qin Yu naturally sent people to observe Shangguan Mufeng's situation. Unexpectedly, the conclusion was that Shangguan Mufeng was injured. Qin Yu was now somewhat worried about Shangguan Mufeng's condition.

After all, Qin Yu had promised Shangguan Nantian that she would protect Shangguan Mufeng's safety, and Shangguan Mufeng was now enjoying a happy reunion after a short separation.

"I really can't understand who exactly wants to target him here?"

It was at this moment that Qin Yu, sitting in the Imperial Garden, felt a slight headache.

Qin Yu then decided to enter the palace to discuss the matter with Qin Yanling. Qin Yanling was completely unaware of these matters and found the officials in the court extremely irritating.

Because they have been talking about Qin Yu's marriage all this time, and some people have even said that if the two countries were to form a marriage alliance, they could become good friends.

Some even suggested that the military power of the National Protection Army in Qin Yu's hands must be obtained before Qin Yu could be married off.

As the eldest princess, it is an honor for Qin Yu to marry for the country.

Qin Yu then arrived outside the Imperial Study and heard the officials inside discussing their affairs.

"I never imagined that you people would have such gossipy mouths. Whether I get married or not is my business. Why do you have to worry about me? I'm not worried about myself."

Qin Yu pushed open the door to the Imperial Study without hesitation and spoke these words coldly.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.

None of them had expected Qin Yu to come here. They were all startled, and the person who had just spoken dared not utter another word, remaining silently in place, afraid that any further words would...

However, some senior officials stood up and stared coldly at Qin Yu. "Don't you realize that your actions are somewhat inappropriate? You are a princess, and yet you are behaving in this way..."

Qin Yu, unsure of the veteran official's intentions, directly asked the question, indicating that there was no need for such roundabout methods, as Qin Yu did not want to speculate.

Qin Yu used his mind-reading ability to probe the inner thoughts of the officials around him. They were still very afraid of Qin Yu, but they were stubborn and refused to admit it. It has to be said that they were suffering for the sake of saving face.

"What I really want to ask you is, don't you think you're being a bit too nosy? As the eldest princess, I'm not a member of the court. You want me to marry into a foreign power. Don't you think sacrificing a woman for the peace of the world is too selfish? Besides, we're at peace right now, aren't we?"

They were all momentarily at a loss for words when it came to answering Qin Yu, yet they also felt that what Qin Yu said made a lot of sense.

They were trembling with fear at this moment, completely unsure of what to do next.

“Your Highness, what you say makes sense, but you are already of a certain age. If you don’t get married soon…”

"I own countless properties, and everything I use is the result of my own hard work. Is there anything I'm not satisfied with?"

None of them knew how to refute Qin Yu, so they simply lowered their heads. Some officials even fainted on the spot, either from anger or feigning unconsciousness.

Looking at their expressions, Qin Yu found them utterly ridiculous, and a hint of sarcasm crossed her face.

"I have another question for you. Just how much of an opinion do you have against me? If you really do have a lot of opinions, you can come to the Princess's residence and talk to me in person. There is no need to talk to His Majesty here."

They had never imagined that Qin Yu would be so arrogant; they had encountered other women like her before…

"Under this whole world, a woman should naturally..."

Qin Yu's face was terribly gloomy. If it weren't for the presence of other officials around, this official would probably have already lost his head. Qin Yu gripped the whip at his waist tightly, while the official continued to ramble on.

Seeing the official's arrogant demeanor, Qin Yu finally pulled out a whip and lashed the official with it. The official was so badly beaten that he became dizzy and coughed up blood.

The surrounding officials immediately knelt on the ground with a thud. For some reason, at that moment they all felt that this emperor was just a puppet emperor, since he dared not say a word.

They were actually somewhat disappointed in this king at this moment. After all, although the princess was a princess, she still didn't have the power of a king, did she? Why was Qin Yanling not saying a word and just silently staying to the side?

"I want to tell you all something: no matter whether Sister Huang marries in the future or not, I will take good care of her. Even if I never marry, I will make sure she has enough to eat and wear. If there is a next time, don't blame me for being ruthless."

In the end, they all had no choice but to leave this place. Some of the people outside said that they might as well just imitate this and take this power into their own hands in order to eliminate Qin Yu.

"I can't say these things here. If I do, the walls will be overheard, and the consequences could be unimaginable."

After all, this was inside the palace. If the eunuchs around overheard this and it reached the emperor's ears, the consequences would likely be the extermination of his entire family. After all, the emperor and Qin Yu seemed to have some similarities; they were indeed siblings.

"The emperor and Qin Yu..."

As far as they knew, hadn't they all felt there was a distance between the two before? Why did they suddenly feel that the relationship between the two had become much closer? They were a little confused at this point.

"How about we think of a way to create a rift between them? What do you all think?"
