The guard beside him quickly came to his senses, drew his sword and prepared to catch the snake.
"Quick, catch it!" Du Huang shouted.
The guard quickly attacked, trying to cut the snake's body with his knife. However, the venomous snake nimbly avoided the attack and twisted its body to prepare for a counterattack.
"Be careful!" Gu Yufei couldn't help but speak out.
This poisonous snake seemed to understand human speech. It knew how to hide when there were many people around, and would come out to bully people when there were few people around.
The guards asked Emperor Du and the others to leave.
It took a long time before the poisonous snake was caught.
"Your Majesty, the snake has been caught." The captain of the guards breathed a sigh of relief and reported to Emperor Du.
"That's great." Gu Yufei patted her chest and let out a long sigh.
Emperor Du's eyes slowly fell on Gu Yufei's face, which was pretty and charming. Gu Yufei's youth and vigor made him feel old and powerless.
The two of them have different social statuses, so even if they like each other, it is not easy to show it.
"Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first. Qiu Shuang, hurry up and follow me." Mu Qi said.
"Yes." Gu Yufei lowered her head and got down from the table.
Du Minting frowned and thought, wouldn't it be a waste of effort to just let her go?
"Wait." Du Minting said.
Here it comes, something unexpected is about to happen. Gu Yufei stopped.
"No poisonous snakes have ever been found in the princess's mansion, and the surrounding area is full of plants that repel snakes and insects. Could it be that Qiu Shuang let this poisonous snake in herself?" Du Minting said.
Everyone present looked at Gu Yufei.
Mu Qi's face was a little gloomy.
"In that case, take him away for interrogation." Emperor Du said.

Du Guo
Prison
Gu Yufei was locked up in a narrow cell.
The surrounding prisoners began to feel curious about the newcomer. They whispered to each other and cast strange glances at Gu Yufei from time to time.
"Who is this woman? Why was she locked up?" asked a hoarse voice.
"She doesn't look like a criminal," another person agreed.
"Maybe he was wrongly accused." Another person interrupted.
“Some of those who can come here have been wrongly accused.”
Gu Yufei leaned against the cold wall and closed her eyes.
Suddenly, she heard soft footsteps and saw a figure quietly approaching her cell.
"Who is it?" Gu Yufei opened her eyes alertly.
"It's me." A familiar voice came. It turned out to be Watson.
"Why are you here?" Gu Yufei was a little surprised.
Watson handed her a piece of cake and said, "I believe you are innocent. I brought this to you secretly."
Gu Yufei felt warm in her heart, "Thank you, but you'd better leave quickly. It will be troublesome if others find out."
Watson nodded and said, "I'll find a way to get you out." Then he turned and left.
Gu Yufei felt very strange.
Although Watson is married to her, there is no love between them. Why should he save her?
Watson did not appear again in the next few days.
Gu Yufei did not wait for Watson's arrival, but instead received shocking news.
"Jiang State has sent troops to Du State. They have crossed the border and are marching towards the capital of Du State!" The news exploded in her ears like thunder, and her face instantly became solemn.
Gu Yufei's heartbeat quickened, and a sense of urgency surged in her heart.
"Oh my God! The Jiang people are coming!"
"Are we going to die here?"
“………………”
Everyone in the cell was talking about it.
This news was brought back by the latest person who came in.
The Du Kingdom is now busy fighting and no one has time to care about these prisoners.
