Mind reading, I used the concubine system to become the empress

In the court of Dayan.

The envoy sent from the Northern Frontier was a burly man with a full beard and dressed in a fur coat, looking particularly rugged.

"Your Majesty, I came here this time not only to express my king's goodwill, but also to present a gift to Your Majesty."

As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and immediately an equally muscular attendant came up behind him, carrying a tray covered with red silk.

"Oh? What kind of gift is it? Why is it so solemn?" Emperor Lin Anzheng asked with pretended curiosity, with a playful smile on his lips.

Lin Shu stood aside and watched this scene with great interest, thinking to himself: What is going on in Northern Xinjiang?

The envoy waved his hand, and the red silk fell off, revealing the contents on the tray.

Lin Shu tried hard to suppress the smile on his face and almost laughed out loud.

Listen to the envoy from the northern border boasting.

"This sword is called 'Qingyun'. It is made of meteorite iron from outer space. It can cut iron like mud and cut hair with a gust of wind. It is a treasure of our northern border." The envoy introduced proudly.

"Oh? Really?" Lin Anzheng raised his eyebrows in surprise, "This knife does look good."

"Of course!" the envoy said proudly, "Your Majesty must know that the people of our northern border are tough and brave, and they value the use of force the most. This Qingyun sword was purchased by my king at a high price from a merchant from Dayan."

He deliberately emphasized the three words "high price", and his words were full of boasting and sarcasm.

"Oh? I wonder which merchant has the courage to sell such a treasure to you?" The emperor's mouth twitched and he almost laughed out loud.

"Well..." The envoy deliberately dragged out his voice, looking a little embarrassed.

The emperor chuckled with interest, "You can say it as you like."

"I heard that it was a businessman named Cheng who was very generous. I guess he made a lot of money, right?" said the envoy.

"I haven't seen him recently. Maybe he made enough money and went into hiding."

Lin Shu's face turned red from holding it in, and he looked at the other person as if he was a fool.

She stepped forward and said calmly, "The Cheng family sold weapons, which violated the law. They were executed two years ago."

Upon hearing this, the envoy showed a look of astonishment on his face, "How come I didn't know about this?"

He never expected that the Cheng family was wiped out, but no news of it came out.

Didn’t they plant people in Dayan?

The emperor looked at him with a half-smile, "Should you know everything that we, Dayan, do?"

"This..." The envoy was speechless and continued hesitantly, "I'm just a little surprised that no one in our Northern Frontier has mentioned such a big thing."

The emperor laughed softly, "I thought you had planted a lot of spies in Dayan."

"How could it be..." The envoy was choked by the emperor's words and could only speak awkwardly.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Lin Anzheng waved his hand, interrupting their conversation. "The envoy has come from a long way, and he must be tired. Come on, take him down to rest first."

"Yes."

Two guards came forward and wanted to take the messenger away.

The envoy looked dejected, realizing that all the spies they had planted in Dayan had been discovered, which was why they could not send back any useful information.

Little did he know that most of their spies had been discovered and were being taken into custody.

He looked at Emperor Yan sitting on the dragon throne with mixed feelings, but decided to test it out according to the instructions of the King of Northern Frontier.

He said to the emperor: "This precious sword is presented to Your Majesty as a token of my sincerity."

The emperor took the scimitar, looked at it carefully, and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Isn’t this knife something that their country had eliminated a while ago?

The design was originally sold to Northern Frontier, and the company made a ton of money.

Now, it has been sent back as a treasure.

Lin Shu stood aside, looking at the envoy's proud expression and trying hard to suppress his smile.

"Daddy, this knife looks like..." Lin Shu deliberately lengthened his voice, pretending to be a curious baby.

"Oh? What does Fubao think of this knife?" the emperor asked cooperatively, his eyes full of teasing.

"This knife..." Lin Shu pretended to be embarrassed and embarrass himself, "This knife seems a little... familiar."

When the envoy heard this, his face was full of disdain, thinking that Lin Shu did not know how to appreciate it, "Your Highness, this is wrong! This is the sharpest sword in our northern border."

Lin Shu, however, looked confused and tilted his head to look at the emperor.

"Dad, this knife looks like one of the ones we eliminated from Dayan."

"Oh, could it be that the Cheng family sold this batch of goods to Northern Xinjiang?"

As soon as Lin Shu finished speaking, he covered his mouth in panic, his expression was a little flustered, as if he had said something wrong, and his expression was very annoyed.

The ministers present couldn't help laughing. They didn't expect their little princess to be such a good actress.

"No, it's impossible!" The envoy's face changed and he retorted subconsciously.

Lin Shu looked at the envoy with a guilty look on his face, "I didn't expect they would lie to you, but what I said is true. If you don't believe me, let's try and see."

As she spoke, she walked up to a guard, asked the guard to bend down, and whispered a few words to him.

The guard immediately understood, drew the sword from his waist, and walked up to the envoy.

"You, what are you going to do?" The envoy looked at the gleaming blade and became a little panicked.

"Don't panic, I'm just testing the knife." The emperor explained slowly.

The guard raised his sword and swung it down. With a crisp "click" sound, the "precious sword" brought by the envoy broke.

The envoy was stunned. He stared blankly at the broken knife in his hand and was speechless for a long time.

“This…” He opened his mouth, wanting to defend himself, “This must be the sword you prepared, just to embarrass us in Northern Frontier.”

"Emperor of Yan, you are going too far!"

Seeing that the envoy still didn't believe it, Lin Shu immediately argued, looking very pitiful.

"How can you slander me? We are telling you the truth out of kindness."

"You are so good, turning the tables and slandering us, Dayan. This is really too much."

Lin Shu pretended to be angry, stamped his feet, and looked at the emperor pitifully.

The emperor almost laughed out loud when he saw Lin Shu's little appearance.

He looked at the envoy with a half-smile, "Laughing at you? We in Dayan don't even bother to do such a thing."

"Well, since you don't believe me, you can choose a weapon from any guard in the palace to compare with the knife you brought."

"You will know then."

The envoy saw that the emperor's tone of voice did not sound false.

But he didn't believe it, so he left the hall and searched for a long time before bringing back a child.

"Him, I want his weapons test."

He thought that Dayan was a vast country with abundant resources, so it was not impossible for it to have better weapons, but it was impossible for everyone to have them.

Lin Shu gasped when he saw the person being brought into the hall by the messenger.
