Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

Chapter 9: The Child I Raised Has Grown Up

Grand Tutor Leng was terrified, but he knew more about the inside story than these common people. Last time they met, Leng Xiucheng was so confident that the Princess could only be won over in this way. She was used to obedience and fear, and Leng Xiucheng's fierce nature was more appealing to her. She didn't expect to be proven wrong so quickly.

"Son, are you alright? Go quickly and fetch a doctor."

Leng Xiucheng's hand hung limply, his gaze fixed on the direction Yuan Jie had left, and he gritted his teeth as he said, "Why did the Princess suddenly send you back? Didn't you say everything was fine before? Now... how are we going to explain this to the Prince?"

The Leng family was as anxious as ants on a hot pan, while Qin Yu's side was as gentle and warm as a spring breeze.

Moved that the princess had finally seen through the pretty boy's true colors, Granny Duan ordered the kitchen to prepare a feast and set it up at the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

"This servant told you long ago that Young Master Leng is no good person. Even after moving into the Princess's residence, he's still entangled with County Princess Xu, but Your Highness just won't listen..."

Granny Duan chattered on like an old woman, but Qin Yu felt a warm glow in her heart as she listened. Granny Duan was one of the few people around her who truly cared about her, but because she had been bewitched by Leng Xiucheng, she had been sent away to a place where she couldn't see her.

It took Granny Duan a while to realize that the princess was just looking at her without saying a word. She licked her dry lips and said, "Princess, I have said too much."

"It's okay, you're just doing this for my own good."

Granny Duan burst into tears instantly; the child she had raised had finally grown up.

Qin Yu was stunned. Although she knew that Granny Duan was concerned about her, she couldn't bear to see her cry.

Fortunately, Mo Yun came in time to rescue her.

"Princess, the Emperor has arrived."

His Majesty Qin Yanling ascended the throne at a young age, and his journey has been fraught with difficulties. If it weren't for Qin Yu's swift and decisive actions in securing military power over the city's guards, he would still be a puppet emperor. He holds his elder sister Qin Yu in the highest esteem.

A gust of wind blew by, and a slender figure appeared in the pavilion in the middle of the lake. The newcomer had a pair of captivating peach blossom eyes, and his features were seven-tenths similar to Qin Yu's. Both of them had extremely striking appearances, and they did not look like a king who ruled the world. Instead, they looked like a playboy who was playing around in the world.

"Your Majesty, I heard you've been poisoned. Is it serious? Has the imperial physician come to see you? What exactly happened?"

The three consecutive questions demonstrated Qin Yanling's level of nervousness towards her.

Her poison was cured yesterday, but because she didn't make a fuss, many people didn't even know she was poisoned. If it weren't for the big commotion caused today when she sent Leng Xiucheng back, Qin Yanling would still be in the dark.

When Qin Yu saw Qin Yanling again, she felt a sense of closeness. However, when she heard Qin Yanling's thoughts, the warmth that had just risen was instantly extinguished by a bucket of cold water.

The imperial physician clearly said that my elder sister would need to sleep for at least a month, so how come she's recovered so quickly?

Coupled with his earnest and sincere face, it was utterly ridiculous.

It turns out that the poison that killed her was administered by the emperor himself. Ironically, even after being given a second chance at life, she never doubted him.

Qin Yu's sudden coldness made Qin Yanling's heart tighten. He had been somewhat afraid of Qin Yu since he was a child, but he also relied on her a lot. However, his elder sister's power was growing, which made him worry.

"It's all over now. The doctor said it was just food poisoning. I'm sorry to have troubled Your Majesty to make the trip."

Seeing that her elder sister's expression had returned to its usual indifference, Qin Yanling secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "How could she have eaten something bad out of the blue? Was it because the servants weren't serving her well enough?"
