A moment later, Yu Fei brought two cups of tea and a plate of snacks.

Zhao Linger waved her hand, and Yu Fei left tactfully.

Afterwards, Zhao Linger smiled and said to Gong Yu: "Miss Gong, it's really presumptuous of me to invite you here so early in the morning."

"Just yesterday, my junior sister praised you to the sky. As for such a wonderful woman like you, I really can't wait to meet you."

Gong Yu quickly said: "Your Majesty is too polite. I am a commoner with humble status. It is a great honor for me to be summoned by Your Majesty."

Zhao Linger laughed: "Miss Gong, you are too polite."

"From my junior sister's description of you, I can guess your identity almost accurately."

"Besides, I saw the sword you gave to my young master last night, which further confirms your identity."

"In my early years, I traveled around the world, and I once felt that the person who could overthrow the tyranny of the Yuan Empire in the future should be from Jiangnan."

"Miss Gong is dignified and noble. I guess she must have been Chen Youliang's woman in the past?"

Gong Yu frowned. She didn't want to recall the past, not even a little bit.

However, there is always someone who helps her recall.

Gong Yu glanced at Zhao Linger, and this fleeting glance made Zhao Linger more certain of her guess.

Zhao Linger smiled and said: "Miss Gong, that look you gave me just now was not very friendly."

"Although you tried your best to hide it, I could still see disgust in your eyes."

Gong Yu was horrified.

She quickly knelt on the ground and said: "Please don't blame me, Your Majesty. I deserve to die."

Zhao Linger quickly helped her up again: "Miss Gong, I'm pregnant and it's very inconvenient. Please don't kneel all the time."

"You have done a favor to my young master, so you don't have to kneel to me."

After Zhao Linger helped Gong Yu up, she continued: "Miss Gong, there are some things that the young master doesn't care about, but I still have to ask."

"Miss Gong, can you tell me about your past? Tell me why you came all the way here to find my young master."

"I'm only asking you once. Whether you answer or not is up to you."

…

After a long time, Gong Yu sighed helplessly.

She straightened her back.

There was no longer that fawning smile on her face, and an aura that was no less powerful than Zhao Linger's was displayed to the fullest in her.

Gong Yu spoke slowly, neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Your Majesty, I am a commoner born in Jiuquan."

"When I was young, my family was so poor that we could barely make ends meet. In order to save our family's lives, my parents sold me to a merchant caravan heading south of the Yangtze River."

"From that moment on, I was displaced, and after several twists and turns, I fell into the hands of Chen Youliang."

"It was from that time on that I followed Chen Youliang in his campaigns, and we have never been separated for many years."

"My position in Chen Youliang's army at that time was similar to Zhou Zhiruo's in the Ming army now. The only difference is that Chen Youliang never let me charge into battle."

"Unfortunately, God did not help the King of Han. In the battle of Poyang Lake, the King of Han's entire army was wiped out."

"On his deathbed, Prince Han asked me to escape from Poyang Lake and gave his sword to Zhang Wuji."

"Prince Han's original words were that people can die, but swords cannot die. He knew that there would be a battle between Zhang Wuji and Zhu Yuanzhang sooner or later."

"Therefore, Prince Han wanted Zhang Wuji to use his sword to cut off Zhu Yuanzhang's head."

"Prince Han also told me that if possible, he would let me stay by Zhang Wuji's side and witness this moment with my own eyes."

After Gong Yu finished saying these words, Zhao Linger smiled slightly: "Miss Gong, you are quite frank."

Gong Yu said: "I don't think there is any need to hide it from you."

"Besides, I haven't done anything that I shouldn't have done, and there's no need for me to hide anything. I, Gong Yu, am upright and honest. I am worthy of my conscience, and I am also worthy of Zhang Wuji..."

…

The four looked at each other for a long time before Zhao Linger said with a smile: "Okay, Miss Gong, everyone in the world is curious, and I already know everything I want to know."

"Miss Gong is a talented woman. Your talent should not be buried. Chen Youliang is dead, but the future of the world will definitely belong to my young master."

"If Miss Gong likes us women, how about staying with Zhang Wuji?"

Gong Yu was stunned for a moment, and she said in disbelief: "Empress, don't you care about my past at all?"

Zhao Linger smiled and said: "What's there to worry about? Chen Youliang is dead, and you are helpless in this world."

"If you stay with Zhang Wuji, he can protect you and your sisters."

"Also, you have followed Chen Youliang for many years, and you should have learned a lot of strategies for governing the country through what you have seen and heard."

"With you by Zhang Wuji's side, you should be able to give him some advice when he encounters difficulties."

"If Miss Gong has no objection, you can pick a date. When the date comes, once the door is closed, you and Zhang Wuji will be married."

"how?".

Gong Yu was stunned and looked at Zhao Linger: "Empress, how should I answer this?"

Zhao Linger smiled and said: "Miss Gong, do you think that my question is too direct?"

Gong Yu really didn't understand why Zhao Linger, as the queen, couldn't be more tactful when speaking.

She said it so bluntly that I didn't know how to respond.
