Quantum networks will rely on intermediate nodes to distribute entanglement, but the same nodes may learn which users are being connected. We introduce a minimal two-call routing primitive in which a user, Alice, establishes an entangled link with one of several clients while testing whether the provider, Bob, has disturbed a coherently encoded request. The construction adapts the hidden-order mechanism of quantum private queries: one call contains a direct request, the other a coherent superposition of the desired and null addresses, and Alice keeps their order secret. A private matching qubit held by the selected client restores the coherent test state after a favorable Bell-measurement outcome, so that Alice can test the returned query without any further operation by Bob. The claim is deliberately limited. The protocol shows that a routing request can carry a physical cheating test, and it detects an explicit destination-reading attack with nonzero probability. It does not yet provide a quantitative information-disturbance tradeoff, composable security, or certification of an unmeasured output against arbitrary attacks. We also characterize the exact perfect-pass limit, in which Bob's residual state, averaged over the private matching states, is independent of the destination.
