Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

"Indeed, there is something I want to discuss with Her Highness the Princess, but Her Highness is not here right now."

The two of them discussed some recent events. At this time, Yuan Jie knew nothing about what was happening in the court. Now, after hearing what the Minister of Justice said, he felt that the court was indeed in a state of chaos.

At first, I thought the court wasn't doing so well, either chaotic or getting better.

Unexpectedly, things have become increasingly chaotic, and more importantly, some officials have even died at this time, which is certainly shocking to Yuan Jie.

If Her Highness were to learn of these things upon her return, she would probably be furious.

"Have you found out anything from your investigation? If so, please tell me now. I wonder what you think. Also, did these two officials in the court offend someone, which is why they were killed?"

The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review shook his head, indicating that perhaps that was not the case, and it was all uncertain. Perhaps these two people knew some secret, which was why they were killed to silence them.

“What you said makes a lot of sense. Indeed, if they knew some secrets of officials in the court, they would most likely be killed, because these two people have already threatened the lives of these officials in the court.”

The two of them talked right there.

"Who do you think are the people who could threaten their interests? Are they high-ranking officials in the court, or are they lower-ranking officials? I think they are probably mid-level officials."

At this point, the two men realized that these officials were likely mid-level officials in the imperial court. These mid-level officials generally aimed to increase their own wealth and power, but some officials at this time were in a rather...

"Well, some things can only be decided after Her Highness returns. During this time, I've felt that someone has been following me, but I don't know who they are. Perhaps I'll also die without a burial place in a while."

When Yuan Jie learned of this, he thought it over carefully and immediately arranged for his personal bodyguards to stand in front of the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, instructing them to protect him well.

"This person can be considered my apprentice. His abilities are just as high as mine, and it's very likely that his strength is even greater than mine. I believe that he can definitely protect you, so you don't need to worry too much here."

Hearing what Yuan Jie said, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review was actually deeply moved at that moment.

The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review expressed his gratitude to Yuan Jie, saying that he would not know what to do without Yuan Jie. He smiled faintly at this moment.

"There's no need to thank me here. After all, we're both doing this for Her Highness the Princess. Everything we've done is for her. Since that's the case, I haven't even protected you."

"If Her Highness the Princess were here, she would probably have you stay in the Princess's residence for a while. I am not the master of the Princess's residence, and I have no right to make such a decision. If you encounter any problems during this time, you can come and tell me directly."

The two of them had reached an agreement at this point.

Finally, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review left with Yuan Jie's personal guards. On their way back, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review was unexpectedly attacked.

The personal guards were responsible for protecting the Minister of Justice at this time.

The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review suddenly felt that the personal guard in front of him was a woman.

Because this person was wrapped up so tightly, he really looked like a woman, but he didn't feel like a woman either, because he was very strong. If he were a woman, how could he be so strong?

"May I ask what your gender is? Are you male or female? For some reason, I feel like you are a woman. I never imagined that a woman could be so powerful. It's really unbelievable to me."

Unexpectedly, after the Minister of Justice said such a thing, the bodyguard in front of him just kept a cold face and kept looking at the Minister of Justice.

If looks could kill, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review felt he would have died countless times already, and this was what his personal guard told him.

"If you continue to spout nonsense here, don't blame me for being impolite. My patience is limited. Although the commander assigned me to protect you, it doesn't mean that I will protect you or that I will never discipline you again."

...In that instant, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review wished he could disappear into nowhere. He hadn't expected the person before him to actually be a young woman. This truly shocked him; he had initially thought she wasn't a woman, but then...

"It's actually a young lady. But young lady, your strength is truly extraordinary. May I ask your name? How should I address you? I can't keep calling you 'little guard,' it just doesn't feel quite right."

At this moment, the girl must have been feeling a bit annoyed. She really wished this person would shut up, but judging from his appearance, he didn't seem to have any intention of shutting up at all. Feeling quite frustrated, the girl directly told him to call her Miss Chen.

"Miss Chen, how many years have you been by Commander Yuan's side? It seems you've mastered the essence of Commander Yuan's teachings. I, too, once served alongside Commander Yuan..."

Before he could even finish speaking, the girl in front of him had already dragged him forward, which showed that she was quite impatient.

"Hey hey hey... How can you be so rude as a woman? Can't you be a little gentler? If you keep carrying me like this, I feel like I'm going to be ruined. Let go of me right now. I have hands and feet and I can walk by myself."
