The Tenth Princess was increasingly pleased with Gu Hui.
If she weren't worried that everyone around her was the Queen's man, she really wouldn't have thought of Gu Hui first.
She couldn't practice martial arts like the other girls from the Dugu family because of her poor health. As a result, her princess residence was filled with the Queen's people, and she didn't even know them all.
She investigated Gu Hui and the other two repeatedly, and since Gu Hui's rescue of her was truly a life-or-death situation that didn't seem fake, she wouldn't have believed Gu Hui at all.
Therefore, the only option for assassination is to contact Gu Hui.
She touched her sleeve, as if she were tidying her clothes, but she was actually thinking about how to get Gu Hui to replace one of the four people.
Gu Hui stood quietly to the side, waiting for her to speak, but in her heart she was thinking about whether the three of them should do something to directly provoke a fight between the mother and daughter.
Once the royal family is in chaos, she will find an opportunity to rescue Peng Ze and then escape.
But there were only three of them, and their strength was far too small. Even if she was incredibly strong, all the women of the Dugu family, except for the Tenth Princess, were incredibly strong, not to mention the other enemy guards in the royal city.
Gu Hui and Gu Xin are alike in one respect: the more dangerous and desperate the situation, the calmer the two sisters become.
Gu Shouxin's teachings were deeply ingrained in their minds: if you are not calm and your mind is not clear, you will only make wrong judgments and wrong choices.
After a long while, the Tenth Princess seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes suddenly lit up: "Murong, go and get close to Peng Ze, try to get information out of him, and ask him how his parents are doing!"
Gu Hui: "?"
Even the most composed person would be completely bewildered at this moment.
If the tenth princess hadn't been so engrossed in her memories that she hadn't noticed her, she was afraid she wouldn't have been able to control her own expression.
This can't be a lie, can it?
Seeing Gu Hui's bewildered expression, the Tenth Princess laughed: "I remember more than ten years ago, Granny Gongsun went to the Southern Frontier and was punished by the Queen upon her return. At the time, everyone thought I was asleep, but I was actually awake. The Queen punished Granny Gongsun because she had fallen in love with a general of the Great Zhou, and that general was none other than the Peng family's Grand General. The Crown Prince said that Peng Ze is the eldest grandson of the Peng family, so isn't that General Peng's own son? Go and get the information out of her. After you get it, I have a way to make the Queen suspect Granny Gongsun. Then I'll ask the Crown Prince to come up with a plan so that after Granny Gongsun is punished, you can take her place. Mingyue is still young, so there's no rush. We'll take it slowly."
Gu Hui: "!"
The Tenth Princess smiled and said, "Murong, don't find it unbelievable. You can use your beauty to your advantage. Peng Ze is quite sturdy, so you won't be at a disadvantage. Just pretend to admire him, seduce him, and make him fall in love with you. Then you can say you want to save him. Talk to him about his family, tell him you're not from the Goddess Kingdom, but from the Jin Nan Kingdom, and make him promise you that he will take you with him after he's saved. You can say a few bad things about me to gain his trust."
Gu Hui calmed down, bowed and clasped her hands: "Your Highness, I think that Peng fellow has quite a backbone. Even the Crown Prince's cutting off of food and water couldn't break his spirit. I'm afraid the honey trap won't work. Moreover, I grew up in the Goddess Kingdom and I'm not good at the ways of women in the Great Zhou. The honey trap is really not something I can use."
The Tenth Princess sized up Gu Hui, her brows furrowing. Oh right, Murong was too heroic. It was said that the girls of the Great Zhou were more gentle and beautiful.
