Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

Looking at the two officials' fearful expressions...

Qin Yu found it amusing.

"Are Officials Li and Wang afraid that I will kill you?"

Neither official dared to utter a harsh word.

"Princess, what are you saying?"

"I will not kill you. You are elders. If I kill you, and word gets out, wouldn't that confirm my cruel nature?"

Upon hearing this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, I thought I was going to die.

Thankfully, I am still alive.

As long as I can live, it's all worth it.

"There's one more thing I forgot to tell you: in the future, try to avoid causing trouble, or I won't hesitate to go to the Emperor myself and have you all removed from your posts and sent back to your hometowns."

"you……"

The two officials were furious.

I never expected this princess to be so arrogant.

But this princess is already so arrogant, what can they do?

Qin Yu reinserted the hairpin into her hair bun.

"You two may leave now, but do not forget what I said."

The two nodded slightly, gave a farewell bow, and left.

Once outside, the two looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Official Li, what do you think we should do next?"

"I am unaware of this matter, but if we inform His Majesty, do you think he will stand up for us?"

The official fell into deep thought.

The two chatted for a while.

In the end, they decided to find Qin Yanling.

When Official Wang and Official Li arrived at Qin Yanling's place, they immediately knelt down on the ground.

"Your Majesty, we have something to say to you."

Qin Yanling was puzzled and didn't know why these two officials were kneeling as soon as they arrived.

"You've all come here kneeling on the ground. I'd like to ask, what happened?"

"Your Majesty, we have been threatened by the Princess."

Qin Yanling didn't understand.

"You say your elder sister threatened the two of you, but what evidence do you have?"

What? Does Qin Yanling mean that he believes the Eldest Princess but is unwilling to believe them?

There were still marks on the neck of the official Li, indicating that he had been scratched by a hairpin.

"Your Majesty, look at Official Li's neck."

The emperor took a step forward, looked down, and examined it carefully.

They suddenly realized what was going on.

"You should explain the matter to me properly."

After learning the whole story, the two officials kowtowed.

“Your Majesty, you have really spoiled the eldest princess too much. If this continues, the eldest princess may be the one sitting on the throne instead of you.”

"Shut up!"

Qin Yanling successfully rebuked him angrily.

"If I hear you say this again, you two might as well throw your heads away."

"But why is everything His Majesty said true?"

The two officials kept kowtowing, even after their heads were bleeding.

"Your Majesty, we truly hope that you will carefully consider what has happened during this period and just how deep the power in Her Highness's hands truly is."

Qin Yanling was not entirely unaware of the situation, but some things were beyond his control.

In this short period of time, Qin Yanling had no way to deal with Qin Yu.

Moreover, Qin Yu is his own sister.

He couldn't believe that his own sister would actually take his life.

But then I think back to all that happened before.

In the imperial family, there is no such thing as kinship.

On the other side, Qin Yu couldn't help but sneeze.

Why does it feel like someone is talking about her?

"Your Highness, are you feeling a little cold? I'll go and get you a cloak."

"It doesn't matter."

Shangguan Mufeng happened to walk up to Qin Yu.

He greeted Qin Yu, but Qin Yu didn't look at him and just waved her hand.

Shangguan Mufeng felt a little depressed.

He wondered why Qin Yu didn't even glance at him.

"I am a little tired and would like to lie down on the chair and rest for a while. Young Master Shangguan, you may go back."

After Shangguan Mufeng left Chunfeng and Yuzhu, the two exchanged a glance.

"Your Highness, do you think this Young Master Shangguan likes you?"

Qin Yu was shocked upon hearing this.

"How can you tell that Young Master Shangguan likes me?"

As the saying goes, the authorities are confused, but those who watch are clear.

"We servants just felt that there was a light in Young Master Shangguan's eyes when he looked at the princess."

Qin Yu reached out and gently scraped the bridge of their noses.

"You two little girls, don't talk nonsense here, you know? Young Master Shangguan will have to get married and have children in the future."

"Your Highness, we servants do not understand why Your Highness does not keep Young Master Shangguan in the Princess's residence, but instead lets him go to marry and have children."

"You two don't actually think I like him, do you?"

Chunfeng and Yuzhu were speechless for a moment.

They both genuinely believed that Qin Yu was in love with Shangguan Mufeng.

"I only want to tell you one thing: I do not like Shanggong Mufeng."

"what!"

The two of them exclaimed "Ah!" at the same time, clearly surprised.

"You two have served me for so many years, since..."

Because they all thought Qin Yu must like Shangguan Mufeng, that's why they...

"I brought Shangguan Mufeng into the Princess's residence for my own reasons."

The two of them said no more.

Qin Yu closed his eyes and rested here for an hour.

I've decided to go see Mo Yun.

Unexpectedly, upon arriving here, I saw Mo Yun practicing his sword.

Qin Yu's hands were itching, so he naturally drew his sword from his waist.

The two began to compete once again.

But Qin Yu noticed that Mo Yun's strength had increased significantly again.

Qin Yu was increasingly no match for Mo Yun.

Before this, Qin Yu could withstand more than a dozen moves from Mo Yun, but now, when she received the ninth move, she felt immense pressure.

Mo Yun noticed Qin Yu's expression and withdrew some of his strength.

Mo Yun was almost injured by Qin Yu's sword, and Qin Yu hurriedly sheathed his sword.

Are you going easy on me?

"Subordinate..."

"Let me tell you, you don't need to give way to me here at all. What I hate most is being looked down upon by others."

Mo Yun was speechless, unsure how to respond.

He could only stare blankly at Qin Yu.

"Your Highness, I didn't mean that. I was just worried that Your Highness was too tired, so I held back some of my strength."

Have you ever heard of a duel where life and death are not determined by the outcome?

Mo Yun understood perfectly well that these were all rules of the martial arts world, and what did they have to do with Qin Yu?

"I only want to tell you one thing: if you do it again next time, don't blame me for punishing you severely."

"I know I was wrong, and I will never do it again."

In truth, Mo Yun felt a little disappointed.

For some reason, Mo Yun really didn't want to hurt Qin Yu.

This is not just because he is Qin Yu's personal bodyguard.

In the past, Mo Yun was a secret guard, and later he became Mo Yun's personal guard.

What is a hidden guard? It is a shadow, someone who cannot appear in front of others.
