In the days that followed, Gu Hui noticed that the surveillance had stopped, but she did not dare to let her guard down. When the Queen invited the Tenth Princess and Yan Mo into the palace to discuss matters, she passed on the latest information she had learned.
They didn't have carrier pigeons, so every time they needed to send a message, they had to first deliver it to the people of Pengze in Jinnan Kingdom.
That Deputy General Xu is quite capable. After Gu Hui and the others entered the Goddess Kingdom, Deputy General Xu seduced a widow in the Jin Nan Kingdom. That widow traveled back and forth between the Jin Nan Kingdom and the Goddess Kingdom, and occasionally went to the Great Zhou Kingdom. So, it was always that widow who helped them pass on messages. Gu Hui was the one who usually passed them on. The next time the widow came, she never brought any messages back.
Deputy General Xu was also afraid that Gu Hui and the others would reveal their identities.
A few days later, the Peng family received the news. Immediately, General Peng sent General Peng the Third to the capital to personally deliver the message, while General Peng the Fourth went to other border areas to remind the other side one by one.
General Peng and his son, General Peng, discussed the situation all night and changed the defenses of Kuncheng once again. This time, they were more careful than ever before.
In the Kingdom of Goddess, the Queen has already set a wedding date for the Tenth Princess and Yan Mo in March, and the entire princess's residence is preparing for the wedding.
It's a pity that the Queen has no intention of making the tenth princess the crown prince; she still pins her hopes on the youngest princess, who was born last year.
Queen Dugu Yun is only in her early forties, and she is confident that she can raise her youngest daughter into a qualified successor over the next ten years or so.
The tenth princess threw a tantrum after returning from the palace, and the more she thought about it, the more upset she became. She then called Gu Hui to her study.
Gu Hui's intuition was always accurate; the moment she stepped into the study, she felt that something bad was about to happen.
The Tenth Princess looked at Gu Hui with a sharp gaze: "Murong, are you loyal to me?"
Gu Hui bowed and clasped her hands in a fist salute: "Yes!"
The Tenth Princess then asked, "Then, will you do your utmost to complete the tasks I assigned you and share my burdens?"
Gu Hui hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Yes!"
Tenth Princess: "If I wanted you to assassinate someone close to the Queen, would you dare?"
Gu Hui looked up at the Tenth Princess in surprise.
Her reaction was that of a normal person and wouldn't raise any suspicion.
The Tenth Princess pursed her lips and said, "Murong, go to the Queen's side and find an opportunity to kill Princess Mingyue. I will guarantee your life!"
Princess Mingyue is the Queen's daughter, born last year. Because she was born on the night of the full moon, the Queen named her Mingyue. Judging from the way she is addressed, the Queen seems to prefer her youngest daughter and doesn't mention her birth order at all, unlike the tenth princess, who is always referred to as the tenth princess.
Gu Hui remained silent for a moment before saying, "Princess, it's not that I'm unwilling, but this matter is difficult to handle on my own."
When the Tenth Princess heard that Gu Hui had not refused but was thinking about it, she liked Gu Hui even more: "Whatever you need, I will provide it to you."
Gu Hui thought for a moment and said, "As far as I know, Princess Mingyue is always within the Queen's sight when she handles state affairs. Not only that, Princess Mingyue is also taken care of by four skilled maids. If I want to assassinate her, I need to replace one of these four maids."
The tenth princess raised an eyebrow and looked at Gu Hui: "You seem to know quite a bit about things in the palace!"
Gu Hui calmly replied, "I am loyal to the princess. When the princess ascends the throne, my identity will be that of one of these four nannies. In order to avoid being flustered, I must first familiarize myself with these matters."
