Thanks to the pills given by Gu Xin, Gu Hui did not go all the way with Peng Ze, but there were still traces of what was to come.
Gu Hui stayed in the cell for half an hour, then packed her things, tidied her clothes, locked Peng Ze up again, and left.
Back at the princess's residence, the tenth princess was still awake. Upon hearing that Gu Hui had returned, she sent someone to find Yan Mo and then summoned her over.
The two asked Gu Hui a few questions, which she then passed.
Although it hasn't reached the final step, it has all the previous features, including marks on the neck and the back of the hands.
The ten princesses took pity on Gu Hui and rewarded her with a lot of gold, silver and medicine, telling her to go and rest, and then go back.
Once Peng Ze can no longer live without her, they will inform the Queen and then provide Gu Hui with a room to lock up Peng Ze, and then slowly plot against him.
Gu Hui returned to her room, and Princess Jinghe and He San Niang asked her what she had been doing that night. She didn't say anything. Although she hadn't felt any surveillance these past few days, she was still very careful in her actions.
The next day, the Tenth Princess went out with Yan Mo, leaving only Gu Hui and the other two at the guards' quarters. Gu Hui changed her clothes and went out shopping with Princess Jinghe and He San Niang.
She still didn't dare to say it in the mansion; the less people there were, the less she dared to speak.
In an open space, she could tell Princess Jinghe and He Sanniang what happened last night.
After hearing this, Princess Jinghe and He Sanniang felt that the Tenth Princess was simply a freak. Sending her fiancé to use her beauty to seduce her fiancé was something that only someone like her could do throughout history!
After finishing her own story, Gu Hui asked Princess Jinghe how things were going on her end.
Princess Jinghe said that everything was going smoothly. She had already chosen the people and started to persuade them slowly. She could not guarantee that it would be successful, but she could guarantee that if it was unsuccessful, the other party would not report it.
Princess Jinghe's mission was to get close to the Queen's ninth son.
The Queen's son held a higher status than ordinary men in the Goddess Kingdom, and Princess Jinghe used a bet to get close to Dugu Ajiu.
The Queen's sons did not have names; they were named by birth order. Only her daughters had names.
On the surface, Dugu Ajiu was a playboy who acted arrogantly and domineeringly. The Queen wanted him to marry the princess of Chuyun Kingdom. Dugu Ajiu disliked the princess of Chuyun Kingdom because she was big and burly, but he did not dare to defy the Queen. So, after the marriage was confirmed, he was dissatisfied with the matter and caused trouble everywhere.
The day of the marriage alliance is drawing ever closer, and Princess Jinghe is making efforts to get close to him. If she succeeds, their escape route can follow the marriage procession.
...
In Kuncheng, Xue Qianyu has been transferred back to Kuncheng and has officially taken over the naval camp.
As the Peng family father and son had expected, there were naturally some who were not convinced. Xue Qianyu only took three days to win over the men of the water camp.
On February 27th, Uncle Gu returned from Chunnan City with Prince Kang and Duke Chengen. After discussing it, Duke Chengen and Madam Xue had the steward move several cartloads of things out of the storeroom, and then invited Prince Kang and his wife, along with their son, to the Gu family to propose marriage.
They were indeed well-prepared, coming from the capital with goods comparable to several merchant caravans, most of which were betrothal gifts.
They are very sincere.
Gu Xin happened to be home when she saw this scene. Without even going to greet anyone, she slipped back through a side door and ran straight to the family laboratory: "Sister, Second Brother Xue has come to our house with his parents to propose marriage!"
Gu Nian paused in her movements. Although she had anticipated this day, it had come far too quickly!
