Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

Qin Yu walked into the jewelry shop and immediately spotted a peach wood hairpin. The peach wood looked as if it were carved with peach blossoms, and the peach blossoms were so lifelike that Qin Yu liked it very much.

Having grown accustomed to those dazzling pieces of jewelry, I find myself quite fond of these simple, rustic items from the common people.

Upon seeing this scene, Cheng Qixia immediately called over the waiter.

Unexpectedly, Qin Yu put the hairpin back.

Qin Yu said indifferently that she didn't like it.

These three simple words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Cheng Qixia.

Cheng Qixia thought she had found something Qin Yu liked, but in the end, she found that it was gone again.

Who knows that Chunfeng and Yuzhu were trying their best to suppress their laughter?

The group browsed around the jewelry shop.

As she was leaving, Chunfeng quietly bought the hairpin.

Having followed Her Highness the Princess for so long, I naturally understand her habits.

His Highness has always liked hairpins, but he didn't want Cheng Qixia to buy them.

That's why I casually came up with an excuse now.

Then Chunfeng hurriedly followed.

Yu Zhu even inquired about Chun Feng.

Spring Breeze made a shushing gesture.

"I'd like to ask you, is it me or the prince who's shopping here?"

Qin Yu raised her eyebrows, staring intently at Cheng Qixia.

Cheng Qixia was somewhat at a loss for how to answer Qin Yu.

He coughed a few times, feeling a bit awkward.

"Does Your Highness know of any fun places to visit in the capital?"

Fun places, Qin Yu had lived in the palace since childhood and rarely went out.

Even when Qin Yu comes out, it's only to compete with others...

This sudden question stumped Qin Yu.

"Your Highness may not know this, but have you ever seen someone wield a broadsword and break a boulder with their chest?"

Yu Zhu quickly stepped forward to help Qin Yu out of the predicament.

What's the story behind "breaking a boulder on one's chest"?

"The prince has been in his fiefdom for many years, so naturally he is unaware of this matter. Breaking a boulder on one's chest is a folk magic trick."

"I wonder if Your Highness is interested in this matter?"

Chunfeng asked Cheng Qixia again.

They often visited the princess's residence and saw many rare and unusual things outside.

Now it has finally come in handy.

"I am somewhat interested. Why don't you take me to see it?"

Qin Yu was also quite curious about how someone could break a large rock with their chest.

When everyone arrived at the scene.

Then they saw a man holding a torch, and he put the torch into his mouth.

Qin Yu was shocked, wondering if this would cause injury.

The man took out a torch, which was still burning.

The people around them applauded.

This person then said, "Those with money can contribute financially, and those without money can simply show their support."

This person is quite good at doing business.

I've developed a bit of interest in this folk artifact, Qin Yu, these days.

Unfortunately, Qin Yu was born into the royal family and could never be as free as they were.

Although Qin Yu disliked the intrigue and backstabbing within the court and among the common people, he had no choice but to confront it.

After all, Qin Yu had to protect this empire.

We cannot allow this great land to be renamed.

Qin Yu understood that this empire was coveted by many.

The power she held was coveted by people in the imperial court.

There was no one in the court who wished for her death.

Do some people really want this power to return to the emperor's hands?

No, it was simply to make the emperor a puppet ruler.

Qin Yu is a sensible person.

Cheng Qixia noticed that Qin Yu remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.

Cheng Qixia didn't bother Qin Yu, but instead threw some silver coins in front of her.

After all, it's not easy for these ordinary people to make a living by performing.

At this moment, a man in black was secretly following Qin Yu and his companions.

Qin Yu and the others were completely unaware of this.

However, Cheng Qixia quietly discovered the man in black.

The man in black thought he was doomed, but Cheng Qixia didn't expose him.

For a moment, the men in black were unaware of Cheng Qixia's intentions.

However, it was not appropriate to continue following them, so they decided to stay a little longer and follow them.

After all, it's unclear whether Cheng Qixia is a friend or foe.

I just don't know why the prince doesn't expose him now.

There are rumors that Cheng Qixia is in love with Qin Yu.

Moreover, some time ago, Cheng Qixia kowtowed repeatedly at the temple to pray for Qin Yu's well-being, an act that was praised by the people.

Although he was just a lowly informant, he had heard about this matter.

Qin Yu caught a glimpse of Cheng Qixia, who kept glancing back at the scene.

"Why does Your Highness keep turning around? Could it be that someone is behind you?"

"Your Highness, what are you saying? I was just looking around, trying to see if there was anything strange or interesting around us."

At this moment, the men in black naturally returned to the Prime Minister's residence as quickly as possible.

The man in black returned to the Prime Minister's residence, and Prime Minister Xu naturally began to question him.

"How are things today?"

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, Her Highness the Princess and the Prince were seen getting very close today."

When the Prime Minister heard that Qin Yu and Cheng Qixia were getting close, he was immediately surprised.

The Prime Minister has made a decision, and this decision naturally involves testing which side Cheng Qixia is on.

Or perhaps it's to say hello to Cheng Qixia and the other person.

After all, ever since Cheng Qixia came to the capital, he had never had any interaction with Cheng Qixia or Cheng Qixia.

"There's one more thing I forgot to tell the Prime Minister: the Prince has already found out about me."

Upon hearing the words "discovered," Cheng Qixia dropped her teacup to the ground with a clatter.

"Are you trying to frighten me?"

“Prime Minister, there’s no need for me to frighten you. It is indeed the case that the prince discovered me, but he did not expose me.”

The Prime Minister was somewhat curious about Cheng Qixia.

Why not report the men in black now that their presence has been discovered?

What is Cheng Qixia's purpose?

I have a feeling that Cheng Qixia's trip to Beijing is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

"Go down and thoroughly investigate Cheng Qixia's abilities."

"I do not understand what the Prime Minister means."

"What I mean is that I want you to investigate Cheng Qixia's troop strength."

Doesn't this mean we have to go to Cheng Qixia's fiefdom to investigate?

The man in black wore a bitter expression for a moment.

However, because the man in black was wearing a mask, Cheng Qixia could not discern his expression.

"I will give you seven days. You must give me an answer within seven days."

Upon hearing this, the man in black had no choice but to nod. He then wondered what he would do if he couldn't give the Prime Minister an answer within seven days…

The Prime Minister seemed to have discerned the man in black's intentions.

"You must come to see me in seven days."
