Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

"What do you think Yuan Jie's purpose is in coming here? And who sent Yuan Jie here? And how come Yuan Jie has this token?"

"I think it should be the princess..."

Wasn't the princess not supposed to be here? Why is she here now...?

This matter has become the talk of the town.

Everyone thought that the Shadow Hall would soon be disbanded, but the officials in the court were eager to make a move and planned to acquire the Shadow Hall.

"But I think it would be a bit difficult to take over this place."

When the night was deep and quiet, the young man and his confidants were chatting. The confidants asked the young man what to do next now that things had turned out this way.

"Have you ever heard that the more chaotic things are, the calmer we need to be? If things get too chaotic, it will bring trouble to ourselves as well. Don't you know that?"

How could they not know? But things have developed far too seriously.

"Of course I've heard about them, but that's how things are now, isn't it?"

The two men started discussing, and Yuan Jie, having heard their conversation, also pushed open the door and came in. The three of them then joined in the discussion, and another person walked in and presented a list.

"I've done some thorough investigation over the past few days, and I feel that these people are a bit suspicious. We can start by targeting them. What do you all think?"

They observed intently from here.

Ultimately, we concluded that it was indeed possible to investigate from under the command of these individuals.

"I remember this person said he was coming here about ten days ago."

"Indeed, this person arrived here more than ten days ago."

Since this person arrived here more than ten days ago, it means that this person is suspicious.

Ultimately, they went to investigate this person.

After investigating this person, they turned their attention to other names.

In the end, they circled three names here.

But they knew very well that there were far more than three names.

They thought they could circle all the names, but it turns out they were just being delusional.

"Alright, since that's the case, then our only option next is to go to..."

Suddenly, a clanging sound was heard, and Yuanjie and the boy rushed out with swords in their hands. They saw an official from the imperial court, who was the governor.

The governor felt a little embarrassed when he saw their appearance. The boy had some impression of them because they had saved his life before.

Yuan Jie was also curious as to why the governor had come here. They stared at each other, feeling incredibly awkward. The governor also felt that being caught eavesdropping wasn't a good thing.

However, he felt that since they had all discovered it, he would tell these people his purpose. The governor then told them that he actually wanted to know what had happened to the Shadow Hall.

The Shadow Hall can be considered a force under Qin Yu's control, and it is also connected with the National Protection Army in the Imperial Palace. The National Protection Army and the Shadow Hall are linked.

Moreover, Shangguan Mufeng is the governor's son-in-law. Therefore, the governor must protect their safety at this time, and he must also protect Qin Yu.

Although the governor had some opinions about Qin Yu in the past.

But he had long since changed his opinion of Qin Yu and understood that everything Qin Yu did was for the good of the court and the people.

"I'm relieved to hear that you're putting on a show here. When I found out about this, my heart was in my throat. But I'm really curious to know how Commander Yuan ended up here."

"Let me show you something. This is a token given to me by Her Highness the Princess. She hoped I could come here to stop this farce, but it turned out to be just a show, and then..."

Yuan Jie then turned his gaze to the boy and patted him on the shoulder. "You brat, when Her Highness the Princess and Mo Yun return, you'll have to explain things to them yourself."

The boy smiled faintly, but he was actually quite happy to be able to meet so many people here.

"By the way, young man, may I ask what your name is? Although I've heard your name before, I don't think it's your real name. You must be hiding something."

"A name is just a label, it's not that important. You can just call me Xiaobai."

Xiao Bai kept looking at the Governor and Yuan Jie. Xiao Bai was dressed in white and was called Xiao Bai. He asked Xiao Bai questions.

"Do you really like wearing white? But lately, there have been people in this market trying to win over scholars. Do you know why?"

"How could we not know the reason? If I'm not mistaken, they probably want these scholars to take the imperial examination. It's very likely that officials in the court are trying to win over new forces, or it could be some other forces."

However, the exact reason needs to be verified, and they cannot give a complete answer in the short term.

"I will send people to investigate this matter thoroughly in the coming days. For example, I will arrest any suspicious vendors. After all, I am the person in charge here, and my position speaks for itself. If they dare to disobey my orders..."

They chatted there until the wee hours of the morning, and when it was almost time, Xiaobai decided to let them stay and rest, since it was so late.

"Alright, since you've already said that, then let's just stay here for now."

Mo Yun, Qin Yu, and the others had finished dealing with everything here, and now they were heading to the capital. However, the local people were reluctant to see Qin Yu leave.

"Your Highness, it's likely you won't be visiting us for a long time now. Please, Your Highness, come to Lin'an again to see us when you have the chance! We will definitely..."

They all knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
