Seeing that Queen Dugu didn't seem to be faking it, Gu Hui was already half convinced.
She suddenly remembered that Peng Jiajun seemed to be attacking the Goddess Kingdom, and her grandmother had even come over to scheme against the guards of Goddess Mountain.
What kind of mess is this?!
Should she remind her?
Can……
Queen Dugu glanced at Peng Ze, then looked at Gu Hui: "Tell me about your family. How many cousins do you have, and how many nephews and nieces do you have? I'll prepare gifts for you. Once I've prepared them, I'll send you both back. Our Dugu clan has ruled the Goddess Kingdom for over a hundred years, longer than the Great Zhou Dynasty, and we've never had a war. We only seek to live peacefully in this corner of the world. So, little girl, don't worry. Your Dugu clan is your blood relative, and it won't affect your status in the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Gu Hui pursed her lips: "Your Highness, the Tenth Princess and Yan Mo truly intend to rebel. If they succeed, then war will break out."
Queen Dugu smiled and said, "No, that won't happen. Never mind, it's better if you don't tell me. It's good to be cautious. I'll ask Yan Mo. He's been in the Great Zhou for so many years, he should know your family."
...
That evening, the battle report from Shennv Mountain arrived.
Queen Dugu immediately understood what was going on. She had already inquired about the Gu family's situation with Yan Mo, and of course, she had also asked about the Peng family and other families in the Great Zhou Dynasty, so that Yan Mo wouldn't think that she had a special affection for the Gu family.
Since the other party arrested Peng Ze because of Yan Mo, and she had already planned to send Peng Ze and Gu Hui back, and also to see her aunt who looked exactly like her mother, why bother fighting!
In front of Gu Hui, Queen Dugu sent a messenger to deliver a message, proposing direct negotiations and ordering the prefect of Kunzhou, Gu Shouxin, and General Peng to personally escort Gu Hui and Peng Ze to Kunzhou.
The messenger was only responsible for delivering the message and didn't think much of it.
Inside the Tenth Princess's residence.
After sleeping for a day, the tenth princess woke up, ate something, and felt much better.
Yan Mo sat beside her, frowning and deep in thought.
The tenth princess touched his hand: "Husband, what's troubling you so much? Is it because of the Murong sisters and Peng Ze?"
Yan Mo shook his head: "Xiang'er, Her Majesty the Queen has already arrested Peng Ze and Gu Hui. However, we just received a report from the front lines that the Peng family army from Kuncheng has attacked Shennv Mountain. Shennv Mountain has fallen."
The Tenth Princess was shocked: "How could this be? How did they manage to breach Goddess Mountain?"
Yan Mo said, "I think it must be Gu Hui and the other two who are behind this. Xiang'er, Her Majesty the Queen has ordered us to negotiate peace, but I don't think we should do that. This is an opportunity for us."
The tenth princess looked at Yan Mo.
Yan Mo said, "The people we've been trying to win over lately all have ambitions and want to dominate a region. It's because of their ambitions that we've been able to win them over. We can take this opportunity to gather our forces and attack when Her Majesty the Queen is negotiating peace. At that time, the Great Zhou will think that Her Majesty the Queen is deliberately feigning surrender. We can take advantage of the chaos to kill Her Majesty the Queen. Then, the Goddess Kingdom will be ours to rule."
The tenth princess was somewhat tempted, but after all, that was her mother.
Yan Mo saw through her thoughts and persuaded her, "Xiang'er, you consider her your mother, but what about her? Since Princess Mingyue was born, her heart has been entirely focused on Princess Mingyue, and she has never cared about you at all. In more than ten years, when Princess Mingyue becomes the queen, you will be assigned to another city. You are the queen's biological daughter, of legitimate blood. In order to ensure that Princess Mingyue has no worries, she will definitely assign you to the city farthest from the royal city."
