Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is indeed the case.

After that, they all left and came here, where they have been discussing things ever since.

"I don't know why, but I have a feeling that the emperor won't listen to anything. If that's really the case, what should we do next? We're all doing this for the emperor's own good, but at this moment, he simply won't listen to our advice. Should we just remove this emperor from his life..."

They decided at this point to get rid of the current king and replace him with one they had chosen themselves, but some people thought it was wrong to do so.

"If we do that, how will we explain it to the common people here? And another thing is that it seems that one of the concubines in the harem is about to give birth."

"It seems that the concubine in the harem is indeed about to give birth, but what can be done about it? There's another matter I want to discuss with you here. If we can't kill Qin Yu now, when he returns, I think the court will be completely different. We must..."

"None of these things will happen."

Just then, the officials went to destroy all the evidence. If it wasn't destroyed, something big was likely to happen next.

"This official in Lin'an City is now in a state of madness. I had sent someone to assassinate him before, but unexpectedly, he didn't die at all. Instead, he was protected by Qin Yu and the others. This shows that Qin Yu and the others really value this official."

There is something even more important: this official has a lot of information about them. If this official is still alive and has already revealed all their secrets, the consequences would be unimaginable.

At this time, the officials were completely unaware of this.

This official had only been in office for a short time, yet he overheard them discussing these kinds of issues.

He felt like he'd only been in office for a short time, and now he was already about to...

"What a coincidence, you and I have the same thought. I also feel like I'm about to scare people. I feel like they are plotting something unknown to others. I don't know why I feel a little scared right now."

The two officials were trembling with fear as they stood there, wondering if they should seek protection. After much deliberation, they decided to go and talk to Shangguan Nantian about their situation.

"Actually, I think it wouldn't hurt to talk to the governor either..."

They should talk to the governor and say that they have no connection with him. If they seek his protection now, he might not agree.

They waited until the next day to search for the person, only to find that he had died the night before and was in a near-death state. Some of them claimed that he had committed suicide, and on their table were records of the crimes they had committed in the past few days.

"I never expected that the old man would die so soon after moving in here. I also never imagined that he would do so many wrong things. I really don't know why he was so confused."

Qin Yanling also knew about this matter. When Qin Yanling learned about the despicable things these people had done, he fell into deep thought.

Qin Yanling never expected them to do such a thing here. At this moment, Qin Yanling felt a headache coming on. If this continued, the court would be short of officials again.

At this time, Qin Yanling decided to hold another imperial examination to select more people to serve as officials in the court. Otherwise, it would be more credible to decide who to entrust these vacant positions to.

"I feel that there are just too many things happening every day, and it gives me a terrible headache. Why do I have to face these things every day? I just can't understand it."

At this moment, the emperor rubbed his aching temples. Being a monarch is truly not easy. Every day he has to face so many things, and more importantly, these turbulent situations are constantly threatening his position.

At this time, Prime Minister Xu also came directly to Qin Yanling and told him all about the affairs of these officials.

The only thing that is clear is that these people did not commit suicide, but were murdered. It was just an illusion that made it look like suicide. But who killed them?

At this point, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review decided to investigate the cause of death of these officials, but Prime Minister Xu stopped him. Prime Minister Xu said that the evidence was conclusive, showing that they all committed suicide, so what was the point of investigating?

Unexpectedly, Qin Yanling shared the same thoughts as Prime Minister Xu, but the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review did not. He decided to investigate the matter privately, and also to investigate whether their actions truly constituted suicide.

Finally, he cautiously arrived at the residence of the officials and even climbed over the wall to investigate them. Unexpectedly, the two officials struggled before they died.

This proves that they were clearly murdered, but he doesn't have enough evidence right now to confirm it. He can only rely on his own judgment to confirm it. He can't help but think how wonderful it would be if Qin Yu were here.

If Qin Yu were still here, things wouldn't have turned out this way. The more he thought about it, the more headaches he felt, and the more helpless he felt.

Afterwards, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review heard a series of footsteps and eventually had no choice but to leave and go up to the roof beam.

"Damn it! I felt like someone came here just now, but that person suddenly disappeared. What could be the reason? We need to search here carefully."
