Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

Lin'an City.

The people were living in misery, and the officials were extremely busy, often being cursed and insulted by the people.

Shangguan Mufeng stood there watching the common people, never expecting that they would do this at this time...

"May I ask you something? What have these government officials done to make you so disgusted with them?"

The people naturally told Shangguan Mufeng everything that the person in the official robes had done, and Shangguan Mufeng was shocked.

Fortunately, the person in the official uniform has now been replaced by Shangguan Mufeng.

"There's something I might have forgotten to tell you: the people in these official robes are not the same as before."

Everyone was immediately shocked. Was this a joke?

"I'm not joking with you. The person in the official robes has indeed been replaced, and the previous official has been arrested. You can all rest assured about that."

They were overjoyed and stopped saying anything more, instead apologizing to Shangguan Mufeng.

"It's alright. If you need anything in the next few days, you can just tell the officials. They will help you as much as they can."

"Alright. Thank you, young master."

Some people are here to find out exactly who Shangguan Mufeng is.

"I'm just a stranger, you don't need to overthink it."

This shows that these people did not know Shangguan Mufeng's true identity.

Since they don't know his true identity, this is a good thing for Shangguan Mufeng.

In this way, one can also see what everyone thinks of the imperial court.

"We feel that this king has really disappointed us a little. We thought he was a very capable person, but now we feel that this king..."

"It's alright. You can say whatever you want to say right here."

"We just feel that this king's actions are somewhat disappointing. After all, it concerns all sorts of things in Lin'an City. We never expected that it would take a whole month before he would send someone here."

They instantly understood what was going on. At first, they were a little confused, but at least they understood at this moment.

The people around him actually wanted to talk to him, but in the end they kept quiet.

"Perhaps it's because these things have been a bit slow..."

No one knew what Shangguan Mufeng meant.

"Perhaps it was because the emperor received the memorials a little late that he was unaware of the situation here until later. Fortunately, the official has already been demoted."

Rather than being demoted, it's more accurate to say he's been dismissed.

After arranging everything at the princess's residence, Qin Yu decided to leave and head to Lin'an City, where Shangguan Mufeng was located.

She wanted to know why Shangguan Mufeng was constantly being attacked.

Who exactly is behind this stunt all this time?

At first, it was thought that it was the work of Prime Minister Xu, but the final investigation revealed that it was not Prime Minister Xu.

Coincidentally, Cheng Qixia also arrived at the princess's residence.

The steward noticed Cheng Qixia's slight surprise. "Why has Your Highness come here today? It's truly quite unexpected..."

"I only wish to see Her Highness the Princess. Is it not permissible for me to have a chat with her?"

Qin Yu later learned of Cheng Qixia's arrival but was unaware of Cheng Qixia's purpose in coming.

At this point, he still went to meet with Cheng Qixia.

"What brings Your Highness here?"

"I have just missed the princess because I haven't seen her for a while."

Cheng Qixia said with a grin.

For some reason, Qin Yu felt a little disgusted by his appearance.

However, Qin Yu still endured it here. At this time, Cheng Qixia naturally brought it up: why hadn't he seen Shangguan Mufeng recently?

Are Your Highness and Shangguan acquainted?

For a moment, Cheng Qixia didn't know how to answer Qin Yu.

Qin Yu used mind-reading to see what Shangguan Mufeng was thinking.

Unexpectedly, they never found out what he was thinking at all.

Has this mind-reading technology become ineffective these days?

Could it be that the mind-reading ability I gained upon my rebirth has disappeared?

In recent days, Qin Yu has not used mind-reading, but now this mind-reading technique is not working on this person.

"Your Highness, what are you saying? We only exchanged a few words before, so I just wanted to ask. After all, I wanted to chat with Shangguan and his companion these past few days, but they weren't in the manor."

Qin Yu then realized that this person was asking him where Shangguan Mufeng was.

How could Qin Yu possibly tell this person about this?

"Shangguan Mufeng is simply traveling around and having fun."

Qin Yu then realized that this matter was common knowledge. Shangguan Mufeng was sent to Lin'an City by the emperor.

"Has Your Highness forgotten? His Majesty sent Shangguan Mufeng to Lin'an City. Is Your Highness's memory really that bad?"

Cheng Qixia didn't know how to talk to Qin Yu and the other person for a moment.

In the end, I just felt incredibly embarrassed.

This was clearly just him making conversation, trying to get the point across from Qin Yu and the other person.

"If Your Highness has no other questions, please return, as I have other matters to attend to."

Qin Yu wanted to know if her mind-reading ability was still useful.

She then decided to try it on other people.

After all, at the very beginning, I originally thought...

Shangguan Mufeng comes from the Penglai Sect, and the Penglai Sect's techniques can conceal the mind-reading ability in people, which is why Qin Yu could not detect what Shangguan Mufeng was thinking. But why can't even Cheng Qixia do it now?

Shangguan Mufeng couldn't help but sneeze here.

It feels like someone is talking about him here.

The woman beside Shangguan Mufeng couldn't help but ask, "Something seems off about you. Has something happened?"

"Nothing really happened, it's just..."

For some reason, he had a bad feeling about it.

As they continued walking forward, they were surprised to find a group of people following them from behind the mountain.

"There are ants that appear from time to time, which is really disgusting."

The woman couldn't help but mutter these words to herself.
