Despite the danger, the wet nurse stepped forward to untie Princess Jinghe's ropes.
Princess Jinghe could move her hands and feet again, and she could speak again after her mouth was gagged. She picked up the sword on the ground, rushed up to Lord Yang, and stabbed him directly.
Peng Jiajun rushed in, and the situation was quickly brought under control.
Gu Hui glanced around but didn't find anyone with particularly impressive martial arts skills. Her heart skipped a beat. She grabbed Princess Jinghe and instructed her to have the city gates sealed immediately, then hurriedly ran towards the Long family.
When she ran inside, she discovered that the Long family's house, like the Song family's, was on fire.
She blended into the group of maids and servants of the Long family, then went into the Buddhist hall to put out the fire. The box was burned to ashes, and there were no dead people in the room.
Peng Mu was rescued, and she still can't figure out how Peng Mu's men found him.
She ruled out Cheng Huaiyu; this matter definitely had nothing to do with Cheng Huaiyu. It was simply that she had left a trace that was discovered without her even realizing it.
He returned to the yamen in a fit of anger.
Now, the entire Fuzhou government office is in chaos. General Peng Si sent someone to the nearest camp to mobilize troops to take charge of affairs, and immediately sent a messenger to the capital with urgent news.
Except for a few officials without real power, all the officials in the Fuzhou government were corrupt and were forcibly imprisoned by General Peng.
Gu Hui returned to the yamen and saw Princess Jinghe and He Sanniang eating after finishing their business: "Peng Mu has been rescued."
The two stopped what they were doing and exclaimed in unison, "How could this be?"
Gu Hui thought for a moment and said, "I suspect that one of Peng Mu's men has seen my real face and recognized me. Cheng Huaiyu was also taken away by them."
Gu Hui sounded somewhat dejected.
Princess Jinghe stood up and patted Gu Hui: "This is not your fault. However, Sister Hui, we can charge over there. Aren't they prepared to go to Langge Kingdom by water? We can intercept them directly outside the sea area of the Goddess Kingdom. I don't believe we can't stop them."
He San Niang also comforted them, saying, "That's right, that's right! The stuff that Niannian made works in the water too. When their boat passes by, we can just throw one in and send them all to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish."
Gu Hui pursed her lips; this was the only way.
She needed to go back and persuade her father-in-law and second uncle to stop trying to use Peng Mu as a hostage to deal with Langge Kingdom. They should just kill Peng Mu and then create a new one.
Gu Hui was unaware that Madam Peng Si was Peng Mu's biological mother, and that if they created a Peng Mu, he might not even pass Madam Peng Si's test.
She sighed, "Let's go back tomorrow morning. We'll go to the Song family and bring Cheng Huaiyu's child with us. If it weren't for her, we might not have known that the entire Fuzhou government was actually part of the Qu Wang faction."
If she doesn't cooperate, they might not be able to meet Peng Mu at all. If they don't arrest Peng Mu, the Fuzhou government won't even need to take action. If they don't eliminate such a big hidden danger, who knows what kind of heinous things the Prince of Qu will make these people in the Fuzhou government do.
Princess Jinghe: "...Who will take them back?"
Gu Hui: "Take her wet nurse back with you, let him live in Kuncheng, and I'll let him live in my house. I'll pay for it."
Princess Jinghe: "Your family and the Cheng siblings are really... a tangled mess. Oh well, let's just take him back. He's just a little kid, he can't eat much anyway."
He San Niang had no objection to this, although taking a child meant taking a carriage, and riding a horse back to Kuncheng from Fuzhou was quite tiring.
