Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

"sorry."

The three unexpected words made Qin Yu very unhappy.

Qin Yu doesn't like it at all, I'm sorry, but I didn't expect Mo Yun to still be talking about it here.

Hearing what Mo Yun said, Qin Yu felt only anger.

But no matter how angry you are inside, what can you do?

However, when Qin Yu thought about how Mo Yun had gotten angry and started drinking because of jealousy, she naturally stopped blaming him.

"Is it so hard for you to just tell me what you want to say directly and not hide it from me?"

Unexpectedly, Mo Yun informed Qin Yu.

"There are some things that I, as a mere guard, cannot possibly tell Your Highness, given the vast difference in our statuses."

Qin Yu felt a bit of a headache, but she understood what Mo Yun meant.

Seeing Mo Yun's current state, Qin Yu walked up to Mo Yun and asked him softly.

"I wanted to ask you if your wound hurts?"

Unexpectedly, Mo Yun told Qin Yu that the wound did not hurt.

……

They were just... but they're gritting their teeth and holding on here.

"Back in the Dark Night Hall, the suffering I endured was hundreds of times worse than this."

Indeed, the Dark Night Hall trains secret guards, and some of the punishments there are beyond human endurance.

"You can rest and recuperate here for the next few days. I don't need you to come with me."

Meanwhile, the ministers in the court all knew about Qin Yu's punishment of Mo Yun. They were all wondering if Mo Yun was about to fall out of favor.

If Mo Yun is really going to fall out of favor, then wouldn't Shangguan Mufeng be able to enjoy exclusive favor?

They all decided to go find Shangguan Mufeng and see if they could bribe him.

"However, Shangguan Mufeng has always stayed in the princess's residence and rarely goes out. If I want to see him, wouldn't it be quite difficult?"

"Even so, isn't it easy to meet Shangguan Mufeng's father?"

From what they knew, Shangguan Mufeng's father seemed to be a man of integrity.

It would be difficult to persuade Shangguan Mufeng's father to join them in their corrupt practices.

"Even so, Shangguan Mufeng's father is also a human being. As a human being, he has emotions and desires. Moreover, Shangguan Mufeng's father should love Shangguan Mufeng quite a bit. If we go to Shangguan Nantian and tell him that his son can get married and have children, do you think Shangguan Nantian would disagree?"

Upon hearing this, the short official fell into deep thought. Although what the official said made a lot of sense, if Shangguan Mufeng stayed in the princess's residence, and one day the princess suddenly decided to make him her husband, the boy would need to get married and have children, and his future would be limitless.

"Do you really think someone of Princess Her Highness's noble status would agree to marry the son of a third-rank official?"

If it were someone else, the official would have thought it was highly likely, but for some reason, his intuition told him that Qin Yu was a very ambitious person. Even if Qin Yu did not have her sights set on the throne, the person she married was by no means an ordinary person.

But the person next to me kept talking incessantly.

"Moreover, I only want to do one thing right now, and that is to suppress the princess. If the princess is not suppressed and is allowed to do whatever she wants, do you know how much power His Majesty will have?"

As a king, his power is less than that of a princess. If people from other countries knew this, wouldn't he be ridiculed?

Moreover, women were not allowed to enter the court or interfere in politics, but Qin Yu has now broken this convention.

He would not only come to the court from time to time to listen to the ministers' advice, but he would also interfere in state affairs.

This is obviously difficult for them to accept.

"Well, we've already taken the first step, so let's give it a try."

At this moment, Shangguan Nantian was playing chess with a friend inside the mansion.

Unexpectedly, the steward came to report that officials Li and Wang from the imperial court wanted to see him.

These two officials appear to be veterans of both dynasties.

Why would these two veterans come here to see him?

Shangguan Nantian was puzzled.

"Nantian, if you have something to do, go ahead and do it. I'll just take a look around your residence."

"Brother Bai, then I apologize for any offense."

"There's no question of offending anyone. We're close friends. I know you're a busy official in the court."

In reality, Shangguan Nantian is not busy at all; on the contrary, he is quite leisurely.

After all, this official position was a sinecure.

He understood why the emperor had given him such an official position.

It has only the title, but no real power.

The emperor was simply afraid that he would switch sides and side with Qin Yu.

This led to Qin Yu's power increasing.

Although it is said that the emperor's heart is hard to fathom, how could he not understand the emperor's heart after serving as an official in the court for so many years?

However, it is sometimes indeed difficult to guess what a ruler is thinking.

But for Shangguan Nantian, all he wanted was a peaceful and ordinary life. Whether he had real power or not was not important to him.

Moreover, if he served as an official in the court for a few more years, he could apply to the emperor to retire and return to his hometown to live out his retirement.

He disliked the various aspects of the court from the beginning. If it weren't for his former wife, why would he have served as an official in the court?

However, we still need to see these two elders first.

Upon entering, both Official Li and Official Wang naturally looked around, surprised to find so many flowers and plants.

I have to say, this guy is really quite leisurely.

It's a pity they were ambitious; otherwise, they would probably be as leisurely as Shangguan Nantian.

The only thing to blame is his current ambition.

If one has no ambition, why would one worry about the various affairs of the court?

"Greetings, sirs. May I ask what brings you here to my humble abode?"

Upon hearing this, the two officials informed Shangguan Nantian.

"There is indeed something I want to tell you, and it concerns Young Master Shangguan."

Shangguan Nantian was very curious about his son.

She had no idea what her son had done this time.

He turned his gaze to the servants around him.

Shangguan Nantian suddenly realized.

Then, he dismissed everyone around him.

However, in such a place, there were only Shangguan Nantian and these two officials.

"I wonder if you want your son to get married and have children properly."

What does this mean? Shangguan Nantian didn't quite understand.
