Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

Chapter 153 Southern Tour

More importantly, the person they recommended was indeed a capable individual, which made the Minister of War feel much better. Before this, he had thought Shangguan Mufeng was someone who knew nothing.

After this matter was over, everyone here had finished their turn, and then Qin Yu looked at the National Protection Army.

General Su walked up to Qin Yu and bowed to her privately.

"Your Highness, why have you come to such a place? Is it because of this Young Master Shangguan?"

After General Su finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Mo Yun. He had heard rumors about Mo Yun and Qin Yu these past few days. Although the rumors were very subtle, General Su was, after all, staying in the palace.

"Besides this matter, I came to the palace to see how General Su is training his men."

Seeing how well these soldiers had trained, Qin Yu was quite satisfied.

Meanwhile, Qin Yanling had already gone to the Imperial Study to draft the imperial edict.

“Little Jiang Zi, yet you invited the princess into the palace.”

Xiao Jiangzi is a personal eunuch recently recruited by Qin Yanling.

After all, Jiang Yu, as the chief eunuch of the Imperial Household Department, is naturally quite busy on weekdays. Now that he has taken in this young eunuch, it can be considered as relieving Jiang Yu's pressure.

Qin Yu and General Su were discussing how to train the soldiers when a palace eunuch arrived. The eunuch respectfully bowed to Qin Yu and then invited him to the Imperial Study.

Qin Yu originally wanted to bring Mo Yun along, but General Su said he wanted to do something with Mo Yun.

"Your Highness, please don't worry too much about me. I will definitely not make things difficult for Guard Mo. I just want to spar with Guard Mo and his companion, since Guard Mo is highly skilled in martial arts."

Qin Yu didn't think much of it and followed the little eunuch into the palace. After Qin Yu left, General Su walked up to Mo Yun.

"Because the rumors about Her Highness the Princess and her companion are spreading like wildfire in the palace, I urge Guard Mo to consider Her Highness's reputation and maintain a certain distance from her in the future."

Because no matter what, this princess is ultimately a woman, and she will eventually get married.

More importantly, the woman's innocence is extremely important; if her innocence is proven...

"Your Highness and I are completely innocent, and nothing has happened. General, you are overthinking it."

Looking back on the time he spent with Qin Yu these past few days, there was indeed some intimacy between them. As a princess, it would be inappropriate for Qin Yu to continue like this.

Moreover, as far as Mo Yun was concerned, he hoped that Qin Yu could marry a good husband.

Although Mo Yun wanted to marry Qin Yu, he understood his own status and knew he had no way of marrying her.

As soon as Qin Yu entered the Imperial Study, Qin Yanling put down the memorial in her hand and walked up to Qin Yu. "Your Majesty has something you would like to discuss with you. I wonder what Your Majesty thinks about arranging for Young Master Shangguan to go south?"

"Shangguan Mufeng has only just been granted an official position, and it is somewhat inappropriate to send him south. Moreover, shouldn't His Majesty personally go on this trip? Why is it that he has to send an official instead?"

Qin Yu really had no idea what Qin Yanling was up to, and for some reason, she always felt that Qin Yanling wanted to suppress her.

Despite being siblings, they were scheming against each other. Qin Yu couldn't understand what his younger brother was thinking.

When the time is right, Qin Yu will naturally return all such power to Qin Yu. He has no interest in the so-called throne and only hopes that the country can be stable.

“Tomorrow, envoys from a neighboring country will come to the palace to pay tribute. They will stay here for at least half a month. If that happens, it will delay their journey south. That is why I plan to send officials there.”

"Since His Majesty intends to send officials, I have someone to recommend me. I would recommend the Prime Minister, since the Prime Minister's status is relatively high in the court, isn't it?"

Qin Yanling felt that Qin Yu's words made a lot of sense, and Qin Yanling decided to call the Prime Minister to his presence for a proper discussion.

Qin Yu then left the Imperial Study, saying she was a little sleepy and needed to return to the Princess's residence.

When Qin Yu found Mo Yun, Mo Yun's expression changed. Qin Yu wondered what the two had said. Then, Qin Yu used mind-reading, but Mo Yun showed no reaction.

Is Mo Yun lost in thought here? Qin Yu walked up to Mo Yun and waved her hand in front of him, which brought Mo Yun back to his senses.

"Did General Su say something to you?"

"Your Highness is overthinking it. What will General Su say?"

General Su walked up to Qin Yu and Mo Yun, and couldn't help but start praising Mo Yun.

"Young Master Mo's strength is indeed extraordinary; I admire him greatly."

"I am a little tired. I will come to see you again in a few days."

Qin Yu and Mo Yun then headed towards the Princess's residence, and unexpectedly found lanterns for sale in the market.

Qin Yu couldn't help but take a few more glances, but Mo Yun noticed.

Mo Yun quietly bought them all.

"It has been a long time since I walked back to the princess's residence like this. Walking back like this now feels quite special."

Upon hearing Qin Yu's words, Mo Yun echoed Qin Yu's sentiments from the side.

"Does Your Highness want Young Master Shangguan to have an official position in the court because you want him to marry the princess of the neighboring country?"

"That's exactly right. Since they like each other, I will naturally help them be together. Besides, Young Master Shangguan was my favorite male concubine before, so how could I possibly mistreat Shangguan Mufeng?"

Mo Yun thought Qin Yu's words made a lot of sense.

He couldn't help but wonder if he would one day be like that... But then he thought again, Mo Yun was Qin Yu's personal bodyguard, and moreover, Mo Yun was a secret guard in the Shadow Hall. In this life, he would only have one master and would only accompany his master by his side.

It seems unlikely that Mo Yun will suffer the same fate as Shangguan Mufeng. It is absolutely impossible for her to be expelled from the princess's residence. Otherwise, Mo Yun would not know where to go.
