On April 13th, after Gu Hui and the others set off from the side path, Yan Mo and the Tenth Princess launched an attack on the royal city.
Once the royal city is breached and occupied, Queen Dugu will have to abdicate.
Yan Mo claimed that Queen Dugu had already made peace with the Great Zhou and agreed to a series of patriarchal rules, so he considered himself to be legitimate, especially with the support of the Tenth Princess.
That night, if Princess Jinghe and He Sanniang hadn't learned about the conversation between the Jade Dragon City Lord and his subordinates, Queen Dugu wouldn't have been able to return to the capital so quickly.
Queen Dugu stood on the city wall, looking at the tenth princess, Dugu Xiang'er, who was dressed in white armor, riding a white horse, and standing beside Yan Mo. A trace of reluctance flashed in her eyes.
Even a tiger won't eat its cubs. She's not vicious, but her cubs are, and they're going to eat her.
She took a deep look at the Tenth Princess, then closed her eyes. When she opened them again, there was no warmth left in them.
She raised her hand: "Fire arrows! Throw stones! Kill!"
Arrows flew down from the city walls, and whenever the enemy got close, large stones would roll down directly.
Suddenly, Yan Mo beckoned, and someone came out carrying an infant. That person was none other than a close attendant of Queen Dugu.
Queen Dugu narrowed her eyes, thinking that her close attendant had been killed!
Yan Mo said loudly, "Dugu Yan, Dugu Mingyue is in our hands. Do you still want to shoot arrows?"
Queen Dugu scoffed: "Continue!"
Yan Mo's pupils shrank. Impossible. Queen Dugu cares most about her youngest daughter. Now that Dugu Mingyue is in their hands, how could she bear to do this?
Could it be that she knew it was fake?
But Dugu Mingyue has indeed disappeared!
Yan Mo turned to look at the person holding the fake Mingyue. The person said, "Prince Consort, this humble servant did not see Princess Mingyue. I asked around, and everyone said that she was taken away during the chaos."
Yan Mo looked up at Queen Dugu again. On the city wall, the woman stood motionless, like a statue.
He couldn't tell what she was thinking, but he was certain she wouldn't stop.
Yan Mo dismissed his soldiers.
He said to the Tenth Princess, "Xiang'er, go and see if she can bear it?"
The Tenth Princess looked at Yan Mo in disbelief. Did she really need to try? Her mother had clearly seen her just now but hadn't paid any attention. Wasn't she just going to her death if she went over there?
Yan Mo smiled at the Tenth Princess: "That's right. Even Princess Mingyue doesn't care, so she won't care about you either. Xiang'er, let's go back first!"
To kill someone is to destroy their spirit; Yan Mo is stabbing the Tenth Princess in the heart!
What the tenth princess cared about most was that her mother had no intention of letting her inherit the throne, and even gave birth to a daughter at the age of forty.
Yan Mo's words revealed that her heart had completely turned to hatred towards her mother.
Unfortunately, Queen Dugu didn't care at all.
When she opened her eyes again, she had lost her tenth child. She assumed that he had died young, just like his older brothers.
Back at the front, Yan Mo summoned the men who had just returned from borrowing troops from Jin Nan.
"Your Highness, the King of Jinnan is currently receiving the envoy from the Great Zhou Dynasty. The entire nation is welcoming him. I waited for two days before I finally met Prince Jinnan. The prince's message is that the King and the envoy are getting along very well, so he has no time to get involved in the internal affairs of the Goddess Kingdom," the messenger reported.
"An envoy from the Great Zhou? Who is he?" Yan Mo asked.
"This humble servant does not know. I only heard from the prince that it is a prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and that he is protected by the Peng family army," the messenger added.
