Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

Qin Yu frowned deeply.

She walked lightly to Mo Yun, leaned in and took a sniff. To her surprise, it really did smell of alcohol.

Seeing that Mo Yun remained silent.

Qin Yu remained expressionless. "I want to know why you're drinking."

Mo Yun heard what Qin Yu said and didn't know how to do it.

It was as if he were mute, remaining silent.

Qin Yu was very displeased and was about to use her folding fan to give Mo Yun a good beating.

But for some reason, Qin Yu felt a little reluctant to part with it.

"Tell me properly, why did you go drinking?"

Mo Yun suddenly knelt down on the ground.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I cannot tell you. I am willing to accept the punishment."

Qin Yu really couldn't understand what things were things she couldn't know.

Mo Yun then went directly to the punishment room to receive twenty strokes of the rod.

The people in the punishment room knew that Mo Yun had come to collect the rod, and they all hesitated for a moment.

They all understood that Mo Yun was Qin Yu's favorite.

But now Mo Yun has come here voluntarily to accept punishment. What is the reason for this?

They were all very eager to know about this.

They then whispered and discussed it amongst themselves.

"Do you think we should ask Her Highness the Princess?"

One of the men, who appeared to be in his early twenties, stroked his chin and whispered to the man next to him.

This person heard what the man said.

"I think we could speak to Her Highness the Princess about it."

As soon as Guan Bai arrived, he saw his men gathered in one place.

For a moment, I didn't quite understand.

What are you all doing?

They heard a stern voice, and when they turned around, they saw that the official had arrived.

"Greetings, Your Excellency. We were merely discussing some..."

They all hesitated, unsure whether they should speak or not.

"This Pavilion Master has not trained a bunch of sissies who can't say what they want to say."

"Guard Mo voluntarily came to the Punishment Hall and received twenty strokes of the rod, but Her Highness the Princess has not given any information. We subordinates do not know whether he should be punished or not."

Mo Yun came here alone to receive twenty strokes of the rod, but Qin Yu didn't give any news. What's going on?

"Don't hit me yet, I'll go and ask the princess."

On their way to see the princess, they unexpectedly encountered Pigsy.

"Oh, Commander Yuan, what a coincidence!"

"If Pavilion Master Guan has the time, he'll come here in person. Shouldn't Pavilion Master Guan be training new recruits in the Punishment Pavilion?"

What is this Hall of Punishments? The Hall of Punishments is naturally used to deal with people who have made mistakes.

However, it was not ordinary people who were dealt with.

The ones who were punished were the people under Qin Yu who made mistakes.

"I have come here to ask the princess a question. Do you know where she is?"

"If I'm not mistaken, Her Highness seems to be in a bad mood. If you, the Pavilion Master, go there later, Her Highness might..."

"Is Commander Yuan afraid that Her Highness the Princess will bring trouble upon me?"

Guan Bai told Bajie that Qin Yu was not an unreasonable person.

Guan Bai then found Qin Yu, only to find her sitting in the courtyard by the lotus pond, lost in thought.

As luck would have it, Shangguan Mufeng arrived here.

Upon seeing Qin Yu, he was momentarily puzzled by her appearance.

Why is Qin Yu sitting here alone in a daze, without a maidservant beside her?

Looking behind Qin Yu, one could see that Chunfeng and Yuzhu were keeping a certain distance from Qin Yu.

"Spring Breeze, what exactly is wrong with Her Highness the Princess?"

I was in a pretty good mood this morning, but by this afternoon, my mood has definitely turned so bad.

"Sigh, I don't know what happened either. Her Highness the Princess was perfectly fine before."

Shangguan Mufeng walked up to Chunfeng and Yuzhu and asked them a question, but to his surprise, neither of them knew why either.

Qin Yu picked up his sword and began practicing.

The sword's edge is extremely sharp.

Even though Shangguan Mufeng was several meters away from Qin Yuyou, he could still sense it.

However, he also sensed the anger in Qin Yu's heart.

He was very curious about who had provoked Qin Yu to this point, and why Qin Yu hadn't punished them.

A middle-aged man walked up to Qin Yu and respectfully bowed.

"How come you have time to see me, Your Excellency?"

"Your Highness, I have come here to tell you something."

Qin Yu was very curious, wondering what the official was going to say.

“Your Highness, this guard Mo has come to the punishment hall and voluntarily accepted twenty strokes of the rod. I am now unsure whether to take action against him, so I am asking Your Highness for advice.”

Unexpectedly, Mo Yun actually went and received twenty lashes, and Qin Yu threw the sword in his hand to the ground.

The crackling sound echoed through the air.

They could all clearly sense that Qin Yu's anger had intensified.

"I think this Guard Mo is getting bolder and bolder. He actually went to drink alone without telling me why, and now he's even volunteering to take the punishment. If I don't grant his wish, wouldn't I be letting him down?"

In that instant, Guan Bai suddenly realized that Qin Yu was clearly angry with Mo Yun.

Before arriving here, Guan Bai had already smelled alcohol on Mo Yun.

However, according to Guan Bai's understanding of Mo Yun's personality, Mo Yun would never drink alcohol casually.

At the time, everyone thought that Mo Yun might have picked up the smell of other people's alcohol, but they never expected that he was the one who had drunk it.

However, Mo Yun's alcohol tolerance is simply too high? After all, his complexion looks no different from usual.

"Your Highness, since you have said so, then I will do as you say. If anything goes wrong, I hope Your Highness will not blame me."

"I will not blame you. I think thirty or forty lashes are a bit too much. Fifteen lashes will teach this guard Mo a lesson."

As expected, Qin Yu still couldn't bear to hurt Mo Yun.

Mo Yun is a secret guard; he has endured all kinds of suffering since birth.

For Mo Yun, receiving fifteen strokes of the cane is a piece of cake.

Qin Yu suddenly felt that she had lost her composure.

She clearly possesses mind-reading abilities and can directly use them to read Mo Yun's thoughts.

How could I have forgotten such an important thing now?

Qin Yu was filled with regret at that moment, but unfortunately it was too late for regrets.

Seeing Qin Yu pacing back and forth, Shangguan Mufeng was seeing Qin Yu in such a girlish manner for the first time, and naturally, he had different thoughts about her.

But Shangguan Mufeng also understood that there was a barrier between him and Qin Yu, a barrier that could never be reversed in this lifetime.

They are worlds apart; how could he possibly be worthy of Qin Yu?
