Gu Shouxin thought that this newly emerged cousin was even more capable than his third sister, and his mother's face was getting increasingly ashen as she was being talked about.
Just then, Gu Hui and General Peng entered.
Queen Dugu's expression turned serious, and she transformed back into the Queen.
General Peng had already heard a general account of the situation from Gu Hui on his way here. Of course, Gu Hui did not mention the matter between their family and the Dugu family.
General Peng assumed that Queen Dugu had nothing better to do than personally escort Gu Hui back and ask for her help.
Therefore, after entering, the look in his eyes when he looked at Queen Dugu was very sharp.
If you want my Great Zhou to send troops to help you resolve your internal affairs, let's discuss the terms first.
As it turned out, Queen Dugu had no such idea at all. She directly told General Peng, "She will go back and have General Gongsun withdraw his troops. The Great Zhou army can then directly attack Yulong City."
General Peng: "?"
Are they rushing to send people to the city?
He looked at Gu Shouxin in disbelief, and Gu Shouxin shrugged.
Queen Dugu directly pointed out the current difficulties of the Goddess Kingdom. She was not giving away the city for free, but rather wanted the Great Zhou army to help her put on a show.
General Peng pondered for a moment: "Her Majesty the Queen has come in person to discuss this matter; I have sensed her sincerity. However..."
Queen Dugu did not allow him to leave, and said directly, "I have placed the heir of the Goddess Kingdom in the Gu family, so General Peng should not think that I am playing tricks."
General Peng: "?"
Grandma Gu did not refute, nor did Gu Shouxin.
Alright, General Peng, let's not talk about this anymore.
He then asked, "After the internal affairs of the Goddess Kingdom are resolved, what about the peace talks...?"
Queen Dugu said, "Peace talks are still on the table. I am not of that old-fashioned mindset. I am aware that the Great Zhou wants to reclaim Jin Nan and Langge. I have only one request: the Goddess Kingdom shall be governed by women of my Dugu family. As for the rest, we are willing to coexist peacefully with the Great Zhou. I have also heard about the changes in Kun City over the past two years, and the people of the Goddess Kingdom are filled with longing. I am very willing to make some changes for my people. I have troops, and when the Great Zhou wants to attack Jin Nan in the future, I am willing to do my part."
General Peng never expected that the Goddess Kingdom, which had always been closed to the Great Zhou, would suddenly open up and even be willing to help reclaim Jin Nan.
With the help of the Goddess Kingdom, taking back Jin Nan will be just around the corner!
However, General Peng did not completely trust Queen Dugu; he only agreed to cooperate with her in this charade.
And so, after Xue Qianyu brought in a baby, Queen Dugu kissed the child a few times, and then left without hesitation with Yu Luo.
Seeing Xue Qianyu's awkwardness in holding the child, Grandma Gu reluctantly took the child from him.
She looked at Gu Shouxin: "Didn't you always complain to me when you were little that everyone else had a maternal grandmother, uncles, cousins, and younger cousins? Your classmates at the academy had incredible maternal families. Look, now you have one too. Even more incredible than your classmates. So, you stay here, kid. As long as the matter of the Goddess Kingdom isn't over, you'll stay here and help out!"
Gu Shouxin: "...Okay, Mother."
He wanted to say, "I've never complained! That was that bastard from the original owner!"
Grandma Gu carried the sleeping Princess Mingyue back to the girls' tent.
Xue Qianyu exclaimed, "This is the first time I've seen Grandma care about other people's affairs! It truly is the bond of blood!"
Gu Shouxin remained silent.
This isn't about blood ties; it's purely that she can't stand seeing her blood relative's woman not doing well. Try it with a different man.
