The Tenth Princess died, Yan Mo fled, and the few remaining traitors from the Goddess Kingdom were quickly captured and surrendered by Queen Dugu's men.
Thus, Queen Dugu punished those who deserved punishment and rewarded those who deserved reward.
All the city lords of the Goddess Kingdom are daughters of the Dugu family. Traitors are definitely no longer acceptable. As for the other opportunists, Queen Dugu did not remove them from their positions. Instead, she allowed their daughters to inherit them, effectively stripping them of their power. In this way, those people had nothing to say, since their daughters would inherit their positions after they died anyway.
As for the few traitors, Queen Dugu reassigned people to take over, and they were still members of the Dugu family.
They made outstanding contributions in suppressing the internal strife of the Ten Princesses' faction, and Queen Dugu promoted them and created many new departments for them.
After this, they will maintain friendly relations with the Great Zhou. With the two countries communicating with each other, several departments need to be added. Queen Dugu chose the families that contributed to this incident to be in charge of the friendly relations between the two countries.
The meeting lasted for half a month, ending in early May, and a specific charter was finalized.
During the past two weeks, Peng Ze and Gu Hui worked together, and with the help of generals from all over the Goddess Kingdom, they finally captured Yan Mo at Jiufeng Mountain.
Jiufeng Mountain is the burial place of all the previous Dugu Queens. Yan Mo was forced to the brink of desperation and thus hid here.
For the people of the Goddess Kingdom, Mount Jiufeng is a forbidden area; they would not normally approach it unless the queen died.
For people who are not from the Goddess Kingdom, there are not so many taboos about trespassing.
Yan Mo, covered in wounds, looked at the two men in the same sorry state before him and stopped trying to escape: "Peng Ze, Gu Hui, what kind of medicine do you have that can counteract the poison in my body? Let me die knowing why."
Peng Ze countered, "Are you from the Yan family or from the Southern Frontier?"
Yan Mo gave a self-deprecating laugh: "Does it still matter now? Whether I'm a member of the Yan family or from the Southern Frontier, won't everyone in the Yan family in the capital be implicated by me?"
Gu Hui said, "All the people of the Great Zhou believe that General Yan, who once repelled the Southern Frontier, has died in battle. Do you think this matter is important?"
"Hahahaha..." Yan Mo laughed loudly, "So you see, the people of Great Zhou are stupid!"
Peng Ze said, "The Yan family will still fall even without you. You're right, it doesn't matter anymore. So, will you end your own life, or should I help you?"
Yan Mo looked at Peng Ze, then at Gu Hui, his smile fading: "That drug was made by the Gu family, wasn't it! I knew it. I wasn't ruined by anyone else, but by the Gu family. Back then, when Gu Nian recognized the symptoms after taking Mei Ren Jiao, I should have killed her! If I had killed her, I might have controlled the entire Great Zhou by now."
Gu Hui scoffed: "If you had murderous intent back then, you would have died even sooner."
Yan Mo looked up and let out a long breath: "I am a member of the Yan family and a native of the Southern Frontier, but not a native of the Great Zhou. My beloved was killed by the people of the Great Zhou. After living in the Great Zhou for so many years, I almost considered myself General Yan of the Great Zhou. Unfortunately, they killed my beloved, and they are absolutely unforgivable."
Yan Mo slowly recounted her story.
He was indeed a member of the Yan family. His mother was a girl from the Yan family who was abducted as a child and accidentally ended up in the Southern Frontier. She married and had children in the Southern Frontier. He was sent back to the Yan family by the King of the Southern Frontier when he was young and has been under the control of the King of the Southern Frontier ever since.
