"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. We dare not. Princess Han is a remarkable woman, no less capable than any man."
"snort."
The Emperor snorted coldly, then turned to Eunuch Yin and said, "Eunuch Yin, issue another decree ordering all officials, large and small, in Jiangnan to obey the orders of Princess Han. All matters in Jiangnan shall be decided by Princess Han alone, without needing to report to me."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Dismiss the court."
"Respectfully seeing off Your Majesty, long live the Emperor!"
After the court session ended.
The Crown Prince, the Third Prince, the Fifth Prince, and Prime Minister Ye.
The four of them got together.
"Prime Minister Ye, is this Ye Qingcheng really your daughter?"
Ye Jizheng shook his head: "Your Highness, I don't know either! As you know, I haven't paid any attention to Wen Shi since her death, and I know even less about her abilities."
"Hmph, this woman is really something else. We really underestimated her."
"Yes! Four thousand elite soldiers were able to force back an army of one hundred thousand. How did they manage that? And what was that so-called scarecrow? How could it frighten the enemy into retreating?"
"Third Brother, what you're saying isn't the most crucial point."
"The key is that 50,000 troops annihilated 200,000 troops and captured 300,000 troops. That is the most shocking thing."
“That’s right, I’ve never heard of such a war before.”
As the prince and the others spoke, they all took a deep breath.
"Second Brother, this woman is so extraordinary, what should we do?"
"What should we do? Wasn't she supposed to lead troops to support Lao Qi? Then let's just let her go, so she can't come back."
"How do we do it?"
"Prime Minister Ye, how is our troop assembly progressing?"
"Your Highness, 50,000 elite troops have been secretly assembled in the suburbs, awaiting your command."
"Alright, now pass down the order to dispatch 20,000 men to intercept that vile woman."
"Twenty thousand troops to blockade? Your Highness, this..."
"What? You can't do it?"
"No, Your Majesty, I dare not. It's just that I'm afraid I won't be able to intercept 20,000!"
"Hmph, don't worry, our soldiers are all carefully trained, one can take on ten."
Even if Ye Qingcheng leads 50,000 or 100,000 troops, they still can't defeat our 20,000 elite soldiers.
"But…"
"But what?"
"But if we transfer away 20,000 elite troops, then this major undertaking of ours..."
"The big event hasn't even started yet, has it? It's not too late for the 20,000 troops to return after we've dealt with that woman."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will take care of it immediately."
After Ye Jizheng finished speaking, he withdrew.
The Crown Prince, the Third Prince, and the Fifth Prince discussed the matter for another half a day before departing.
This way.
In a military camp on the southern border.
At this moment, Ye Qingcheng had already treated all the infected soldiers and was just waiting for the letter of submission from Fusang and the island nation.
Wen Shifeng was deeply moved to see that Ye Qingcheng had never stopped working since she arrived.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your hard work for the soldiers."
Ye Qingcheng smiled and said, "General Wen, you are too kind. This is what I should do."
"Let alone for the sake of war, as a doctor, my duty is to save lives and heal the wounded."
"Your Highness, your righteousness and courage are truly admirable. It is a great blessing for our Great Xia Kingdom to have a princess like you!"
"General Wen, you flatter me. By the way, General, have you received any news about the battle situation in the northern frontier?"
Wen Shifeng shook his head: "No, is Your Highness worried about the Prince?"
Ye Qingcheng nodded: "Yes! I am a little worried. I wonder how he is doing."
"Your Highness, there is no need to worry. His Highness has been fighting on the battlefield for many years and is known as the God of War of our Great Xia. He is also very familiar with the northern frontier. I believe that the war there will be quelled by him soon."
"Hmm! I hope so!"
Ye Qingcheng nodded and sighed.
At that moment, she felt uneasy.
And it was during their conversation.
"Report!"
"Enter."
"Your Highness, General."
"Hmm! What is it?"
"An imperial edict has arrived from the capital."
"Hmm? An imperial decree?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
"General Wen, since an imperial decree has been issued, please go and receive it!"
"Yes, Your Highness."
"General...Princess, the decree is for you and the General."
"Is this for me?"
Ye Qingcheng was puzzled for a moment, then stood up.
"If that's the case, let's go! Let's go receive the imperial decree."
Then.
The group then moved outside.
When the official who came to deliver the imperial decree saw Ye Qingcheng come out, he immediately knelt down on the ground.
"Your humble servant greets Princess Han. May Your Highness live a thousand years!"
Um?
Upon seeing this, Ye Qingcheng was taken aback.
What's going on? Isn't this messenger supposed to represent the Emperor? Why is he kneeling before me the moment he arrives?
After a moment of stunned silence.
"My lord, please rise."
"Yes, thank you, Your Highness."
"My lord, weren't you here to deliver an imperial decree?"
"Your Highness, I have indeed come to deliver an imperial decree. Please receive the decree."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng was about to kneel down.
However, the official quickly stopped him.
"Your Highness, His Majesty has said that you do not need to kneel to receive the decree."
Um?
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng was puzzled again, but she still nodded.
"Princess Consort Han is appointed Commander-in-Chief of Jiangnan, and General Wen is appointed Deputy Commander-in-Chief. They will lead the Wen Family Army to the Northern Frontier for immediate support."
"What? Support? Has something happened in the northern border?" Ye Qingcheng panicked upon hearing this.
"Yes, Your Highness, the northern border is now besieged by three kingdoms. Our army has suffered a great defeat and is trapped in the city."
