1351 The great Zhou’s envoy
On the 13th of April, after Gu Hui and the rest set off from the small road, Yan Mo and the tenth Princess launched an attack on the palace.
As long as they could conquer the royal city, Queen Dugu would have to step down.
Yan Mo thought that Queen Dugu had already made peace with the great Zhou Dynasty and agreed to a series of male-dominated rules. Therefore, he claimed that he was the rightful ruler and that he had the tenth princess’s support.
That night, if Princess Jinghe and he sanniang had not found out about the conversation between the city Lord of Jade Dragon City and his subordinates, Queen Dugu would not have been able to return to the capital in time.
Standing on the city gate tower, Queen Dugu looked at the tenth Princess, dugu Xiang ‘er, who was dressed in white armor and riding a White Horse beside Yan Mo. She couldn’t bear to see her like this.
Even a vicious Tiger would not eat its Cubs. She was not vicious, but her Cubs were going to eat her.
She looked deeply at the tenth Princess, then closed her eyes. When she opened them again, there was no longer any warmth in them.
She raised her hand and ordered,”release the arrows!” Stone throwing! Kill!”
Arrows were shot down from the city gate tower. As long as the enemy got close, large rocks would roll down.
Suddenly, Yan Mo beckoned, and someone came out with a baby in his arms. The man was none other than Queen Dugu’s personal attendant.
Queen Dugu squinted her eyes. She had thought that her personal attendant had been killed.
“Dugu Yan, dugu Mingyue is in our hands. Are you still going to shoot?” Yan Mo said in a clear voice.
“Continue!” Queen Dugu sneered.
Yan Mo’s pupils shrank. That was impossible. Queen Dugu cared about her youngest daughter the most. Now that dugu Mingyue was in their hands, how could she bear to do that?
Could it be that she knew that this was fake?
But dugu Mingyue had indeed disappeared!
Yan Mo turned to look at the man holding the fake moon. “Prince Consort, this humble servant indeed did not see Princess Ming Yue. I asked people and they all said that she was carried away because of the chaos.”
Yan Mo raised his head to look at Queen Dugu. On the city gate tower, the woman was like a statue, not moving at all.
He could not tell what she was thinking, but he was sure that she would not stop.
Yan Mo ordered his soldiers to retreat.
“Xiang ‘er, you go. Let’s see if she has the heart to do this,” he said to the tenth Princess.
The tenth Princess looked at Yan Mo in disbelief. Was there even a need to try? Her mother had obviously seen her just now, but she didn’t care. Wouldn’t she be courting death if she went over?
Yan Mo smiled at the tenth Princess and agreed. She doesn’t even care about Princess Ming Yue, so she won’t care about you. Xiang ‘er, let’s retreat!”
Yan Mo was stabbing a knife into the tenth Princess ‘heart!
What the tenth Princess cared about the most was that her mother had no intention of letting her inherit the throne, and that she had a daughter at the age of forty.
Yan Mo’s words had completely turned her hatred for her mother into hatred.
Unfortunately, Queen Dugu didn’t care at all.
When she opened her eyes just now, she had already lost her tenth child. She would just treat it as if she had died like her older brothers.
Back at the camp, Yan Mo called over the people who had just returned from Jinnan to borrow troops.
“Fuma, the king of Jinnan country is receiving the great Zhou’s envoy. The whole country welcomes him. I have waited for two days before I finally saw Prince Jinnan. What the Prince meant was that the king and the envoy are on good terms, so he has no time to participate in the internal affairs of the kingdom of goddess.” The messenger said.
“An envoy from the great Zhou? Who are you?” Yan Mo asked.
“I don’t know. I only heard from the Prince that it was a Prince of the great Zhou who was protected by the Peng family’s Army.” The messenger said.
