Mind Reading: The Road to Dominance of the Group’s Pet Princess

Hearing that he was about to be dragged down and chopped, Gongsun Zhi trembled. He was afraid of death, but more importantly, he was regretful that he could not fulfill his mother's last wish and be a good official.

He also betrayed a woman and became a betrayed person.

He lowered his head and kowtowed to the emperor he was serving, and then turned around and kowtowed to Nalan Yunwan. He was sorry for her and wanted to make her sad.

Nalan Yunwan quickly stood up, knelt down beside Gongsun Zhi and begged, "Father, it's none of Lord Gongsun's business. It's all my daughter's fault. My daughter shouldn't have anything to do with Lord Gongsun."

"It's all my daughter's fault. Please spare Master Gongsun."

Gongsunren kowtowed again and said firmly: "No, Your Majesty, it was me. It was me who fell in love first. It was the princess who was seduced by me. The princess is ignorant, simple and incapable of love. That's why she was deceived by the guilty minister. Please tell me clearly."

Nalan Yunwan didn't understand why he said this. He could blame everything on himself. She was the daughter of her father, and his father would not do anything to her.

Gongsun Zhi shook his head at her, knowing that although she was a noble princess, she was still a woman and was bound by many rules in the world.

If there was news that she had a secret affair with her foreign husband, it would be detrimental to her reputation, because she had already received a lot of criticism for the Helide matter, and she must not add another criticism.

Nalan Yunwan shook his head, "Father, please spare him."

Concubine De stood up and helped Nalan Yunwan up, patting her hand reassuringly to reassure her.

Nalan Yunwan's eyes were full of pleading, and she secretly glanced at her father who looked at her with a cold face. She felt uneasy.

Emperor Shun leaned forward slightly, looked at Gongsun Zhi, and asked coldly: "Did you know that I intend to marry Tianyuan? Emperor Tianyuan asked to marry my princess."

Nalan Yunsheng spat out the tea in his mouth with a puff. How could this be possible?

Emperor Tianyuan was an old man in his fifties, and he dared to ask to marry the princess of Dasheng!

Nalan Yunwan's body kept shaking. There were only two princesses in Dasheng, and the Seventh Princess was still young, so she was the only one suitable for marriage.

No wonder my father was so angry when he found out that he was traveling with Master Gongsun. It turned out that he was about to marry another country.

Gongsun stopped his knees and walked a few steps, kowtowed repeatedly, and said: "Your Majesty, please think twice. Emperor Tianyuan is over fifty years old, has many heirs, and the Tianyuan royal family is in chaos. He is really not a good match."

"The princess is a precious person, so you must not go and get married. As a defeated country, Tianyuan should send the princess over for a get-together."

Seeing the eagerness on his face, those who didn't know thought he was going to be sent for marriage. Emperor Shun was satisfied, but it didn't show on his face, and said: "Brother Tianyuan wants to present the bow and arrow forging method and archery skills. When we and the princess's escort return to the capital, we will bring the forging method back to Dasheng."

Nalan Yunsheng couldn't calm down any more. His father was really serious!

According to her understanding of Emperor Shun, let alone Dasheng being the victorious side, even if Dasheng was the defeated country, he would not be able to send the princess to get married.

But when she heard about Tianyuan's bow and arrow forging method, her heart was shaken. This was the most top-secret technology of the Tianyuan Kingdom. The Tianyuan Kingdom had suppressed Dasheng for so many years with its superb archery team.

If it can be obtained, Dasheng will have no rivals.

At this moment, she suddenly didn't dare to think about whether her father could withstand the temptation, and would her third sister really be given up?

Compared with Nalan Yunsheng's uneasiness, Concubine De was much calmer. She understood Emperor Shun and this was not Emperor Shun's style.

Emperor Shun was silent for a long time, seeming to have made up his mind.

Gongsun Zhi's eyes were red, and he wanted to speak again to dissuade him, but Nalan Yunwan's voice was one step faster than him. She quickly said: "Father, I am willing to go and get married. As a princess of Dasheng, I have been richly clothed and well-fed since childhood. , enjoy the worship of the court and the people, now is the time for my daughter to make sacrifices for the great prosperity of thousands of people."

"My son is willing to go and get married. I just ask my father to let Master Gongsun go. We are just close friends and have no personal feelings."

Gongsun Zhi was shocked and couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes anymore, "Your Majesty, I have selfish motives in discouraging your Majesty from getting married, but the actual situation is as I said, Emperor Tianyuan is not a good candidate for marriage."

"I am currently working hard to improve the small divine crossbow. I believe that in the near future, our Dasheng divine crossbow will definitely be able to suppress Tianyuan's bows and arrows. Your Majesty, please think twice. I know that I am of low status and am not worthy of the princess. I am willing to give my hand to you." I took out all the information and asked myself to go to the border. I requested an order to serve as a soldier under Du Guogong to guard my land of Dasheng from infringement."

"But I think only dead people are the most reliable. I'm afraid your existence will tarnish the princess's reputation."

Gongsun Zhi heard the looseness in Emperor Shun's mouth, his heart beat violently, and he said without thinking: "I covet the princess. Offending the princess of Tianjia is a capital crime. I ask your majesty to grant death."

"Father! I beg you, I beg you. I have never crossed paths with Lord Gongsun. He is a talented man and cannot die because of me. I beg you." Nalan Yunwan knelt down. I can't stand it for a long time.

Emperor Shun lowered his head and looked at the miserable mandarin duck on the ground, and waved his hand.

Defu came forward with a tray, which contained a pot of wine and black and white wine cups, and placed the tray in front of the two of them.

"The wine pot contains poisonous wine, and the white wine cup contains ordinary wine." He poured the wine into the black wine cup and handed it to Gongsun Zhi. "Please, Lord Gongsun."

Gongsun Zhi smiled bitterly, glanced at Nalan Yunwan one last time, said "take care", and raised his hand to take the wine cup.

A white and slender hand stretched out from the side, held the wine cup and brought it to his mouth, drinking it all in one gulp.

Gongsun Zhi's movements were stiff, and he turned his head very slowly to look. What he saw was Nalan Yunwan moving the wine cup away from his mouth. "Princess, what is this? You are confused, hurry up, spit it out!"

She shook her head and vomited it out. The person who died would be Gongsun Zhi. This was her sweetheart, the husband she wanted to spend the rest of her life with.

She had been raised in a deep palace since she was a child. She had never had any contact with her foreign husband. After she was born, she married the man her mother had arranged for her when she was still alive. They had never met before they got married, and they didn't understand each other, and they had no love for each other.

The two of them had been respectful to each other for a long time, and she only felt that their days in the Marquis' mansion were like years. She thought that this was the case for all couples in the world.

Later I realized that not all couples in the world are like this, but there is just no love between them.

She had only known Gongsun Zhi for a short time, but her heart had thawed out of the thick ice and regained its vitality.

Looking at the girl with a pale face but a smile in her eyes, Gongsun Zhi's hands were shaking. He turned around and grabbed the wine bottle, opened the mouth of the bottle and drank a few sips. After a few sips, he drank the entire bottle of wine.

Defu's eyelids trembled, Lord Gongsun was going to suffer now!
