Three days later, everyone in the palace had gone to sleep.

Queen Dugu led her trusted confidantes into Gu Hui and Peng Ze's room without giving them any preparation, and rushed in directly.

Gu Hui, wearing a bellyband, was holding Peng Ze.

Peng Ze was also shirtless, and both of them had messy hair.

In the past few days, Gu Hui has keenly sensed that something is wrong with Queen Dugu. Worried that she would find out, she has been sleeping in this outfit every night, with only two blankets. Whenever she hears voices, she immediately gets up, folds the blankets, and shrinks into Peng Ze's bed.

The two looked at the person who appeared with blank expressions, their hearts pounding as they prepared to grab the weapon hidden on the ceiling.

"Your Highness, what, what's wrong?" Gu Hui asked fearfully.

"He ate Meirenjiao?" Queen Dugu glanced at Peng Ze.

“No tonight. Your Highness, he has already promised to provide me with the city defenses of Kuncheng and is willing to live with me in the Goddess Kingdom. I don’t want him to get addicted to the beauty's allure, so I didn’t give him any.” Gu Hui answered calmly, her elbow accidentally nudging Peng Ze.

Just as the two were about to grab their weapons, a single sentence from Queen Dugu made them hold back.

"Ha! That sounds nice! You're Yan Mo's people, how could you not know the dangers of the Beauty's Delight? How could you let yourselves get infected with it? Right? You two are both from the Southern Frontier, aren't you? You put on a show for me, for that fool Lao Shi, isn't that right?" Queen Dugu coldly looked at the two of them. "Murong, you're still a virgin, it must be hard for you. Get up and put your clothes on! I'll give you another way. If you don't want it, then die!"

Gu Hui and Peng Ze exchanged a glance, then threw off the covers, put on their clothes, and knelt at the feet of Queen Dugu.

"Your Highness, spare us! We were forced into this!" The two kowtowed.

Queen Dugu's lips curled up, and she raised her hand slightly.

Then two strong-looking old women dragged Peng Ze away.

Queen Dugu said, "If you answer the questions separately and your answers are the same, I will spare your lives!"

Queen Dugu sat down in a chair and instructed her subordinates to question Gu Hui.

"Where are you from? What is your relationship with Yan Mo?"

"In the Southern Frontier, we are the guards bestowed upon the Crown Prince by the King!" Gu Hui answered without hesitation, and Yan Mo next door gave the same answer.

They were already discussing that if they didn't receive any news from Kuncheng, they would either surrender voluntarily or, posing as people from Southern Xinjiang, claim that Yan Mo and the Tenth Princess were plotting to kill Queen Dugu.

Moreover, the two of them thought of many things that would convince Queen Dugu and prevent her from questioning Yan Mo.

As a result, before the two of them could feel that everything was in perfect order, Queen Dugu herself delivered herself to their doorstep.

Fifteen minutes later, after all the questions were recorded, the two strong old women returned with Peng Ze.

The recorded answers were handed over to Queen Dugu.

Queen Dugu took a look and realized, yes, she was right, it was indeed so.

People say that pregnancy makes you stupid for three years, and this child is only a few months old. She just tested her and completely believed Gu Hui and Peng Ze without any doubt.

Of course, no one would have guessed that the two had already planned to pretend to be from southern Xinjiang to sow discord.

Queen Dugu assigned Gu Hui another task: to return to the Tenth Princess's side and keep a close watch on her and Yan Mo's every move.

Tell her to send one of her two younger sisters instead, so that they can keep sending messages back and forth.

Gu Hui hesitated for a moment, but still protected her sister, trying her best to say that her sister was unreliable.

Queen Dugu felt that Gu Hui was afraid that she would use her two younger sisters to threaten her, so she very forcefully demanded that Gu Hui send one of her younger sisters into the palace.
