God's Daughter, Queen of Miraculous Medicine

A few days later, Hu Yanji waited anxiously and finally received a reply from the Emperor of Liang. During these days, he felt like he was living in a year, and he was always worried, not knowing what the outcome of the negotiations would be.

When Hu Yanji saw the letter from the Liang Kingdom Palace, he couldn't wait to open it and read it. After reading it, he was slightly relieved, but at the same time he felt a little embarrassed. He turned his head to look at the Crown Prince Jun Moyuan who was sitting beside him, and slowly said: "Your Highness, after many discussions, my father agreed to some of the conditions you proposed. However, as for the ransom, my father still hopes to reduce it a little. After all, this amount is too large, and it is also a big burden for our Liang Kingdom."

After hearing this, Jun Moyuan frowned slightly and responded with a firm look in his eyes: "Second Prince, I have already made considerable concessions in the previous negotiations. If the ransom is reduced further, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain to my subjects. They are all watching the result of this negotiation. If they don't get a satisfactory answer, it will inevitably cause public outrage. Therefore, regarding the ransom, I really can't make any more concessions."

For a moment, the two sides were in a stalemate again. The whole room was filled with a tense atmosphere, and no one was willing to compromise easily. At this moment, Lu Tingyan, who had been standing quietly beside him, suddenly stepped forward. She smiled and said to Hu Yanji: "Second Prince, how about this. Since it is difficult to reach an agreement on the ransom, in addition to the ransom, can Liang consider providing some scarce mineral resources to Chu? These mineral resources will be of great help to the development of Chu, and it can also be regarded as a disguised form of compensation. In this way, perhaps a solution that satisfies both parties can be found."

Hu Yanji thought for a moment and said, "I need to discuss this matter with my father again."

A few days later, Huyanji finally brought the final reply and the two sides reached an agreement.

However, whether the peace can be maintained for a long time remains unknown...

After this arduous battle, the border ushered in a rare period of peace. Hu Yanji did not relax his vigilance. He knew that the enemy would not give up easily, so he strengthened border patrols and the construction of fortifications.

During this relatively peaceful period, Hu Yanji began to pay attention to the lives of the people in the border areas. He ordered tax reductions, encouraged farming, and organized soldiers to help the people rebuild their homes. With his efforts, the border areas gradually regained their former prosperity.

At the same time, undercurrents were surging in the capital. Some ministers with ulterior motives were jealous of Hu Yanji's achievements and began to slander him in front of the emperor, accusing him of having a rebellious mind and holding his own troops.

The emperor did not believe it at first, but after hearing so many slanderous rumors, he began to have doubts. So the emperor decided to send a trusted minister to the border to inspect, ostensibly to express his condolences but actually to investigate Hu Yanji's true situation.

When the minister arrived at the border, Hu Yanji treated him with courtesy. But the minister made things difficult for him and tried to find something to hold against him. However, Hu Yanji was upright and honest, and he was dedicated to the public good, so the minister returned empty-handed.

After returning to the capital, the ministers reported Hu Yanji's situation to the emperor truthfully. The emperor was relieved and reprimanded those ministers who made slanderous remarks.

However, before one problem was solved, another one arose. A neighboring country suddenly sent an envoy to propose a marriage with Hu Yanji's country to consolidate the relationship between the two countries. For the sake of the country's interests, the emperor decided to agree to this and intended to let Hu Yanji's sister go to marry.

After Hu Yanji learned about this, he was in a dilemma. He knew the importance of marriage to the country, but he couldn't bear to see his sister marrying far away.

After a painful struggle, Huyanji finally decided to put the interests of the country first and persuaded his sister to marry.

On the day his sister left, Huyanji saw her off in person, his eyes full of reluctance and concern.

After his sister left, Huyanji turned his longing for his relatives into strength to guard the border, and protected this land even more wholeheartedly.

However, fate did not seem to want Hu Yanji to live a peaceful life. A sudden plague spread across the border, and many civilians and soldiers were infected with the disease.

Hu Yanji was extremely anxious. He looked everywhere for famous doctors, prepared medicinal materials, and personally organized the anti-epidemic work.

Thanks to his efforts, the epidemic was finally brought under control. But Hu Yanji also fell ill due to overwork.

While he was recuperating, the enemy once again gathered its forces and prepared to launch a new round of attacks.

Chahar came to Hu Yanji's bedside anxiously and said, "Your Highness, the enemy is already at the gates of the city. What should we do?"

Hu Yanji stood up despite his illness and said, "Pass my order, all troops prepare for battle!"

With his sick body, Hu Yanji once again went to the battlefield...

Despite his weak body, Hu Yanji's spirit was not diminished at all. He mounted his horse, holding a long sword, and looked at the enemy with a firm gaze.

When the soldiers saw Hu Yanji personally taking to the battlefield, their morale was boosted and they all fought bravely.

However, the enemy's attack this time was extremely fierce, and Hu Yanji's army gradually found it difficult to resist. Chahar was anxious and advised: "Your Highness, you are not fully recovered yet, go back to the tent and rest, I will leave this to you!"

Hu Yanji shouted loudly: "How can I retreat when the country is in crisis?"

Just when the battle was at a stalemate, news came from the rear that reinforcements sent by the court had arrived. Hu Yanji was overjoyed and immediately commanded the army to cooperate with the reinforcements to form an encirclement of the enemy.

After a fierce fight, the enemy was finally defeated and fled, and Hu Yanji fell off his horse due to exhaustion.

Everyone hurriedly carried him back to the tent, and the military doctor rushed to treat him. After several days of recuperation, Hu Yanji gradually recovered.

After this battle, Hu Yanji's reputation grew even more. But he knew that the pain caused by the war had not yet subsided and the reconstruction of the border was a long and arduous task.

So he threw himself into the post-war recovery work, organizing soldiers to help the people rebuild houses, reclaim farmland, and set up schools so that children could read and learn.

Thanks to Hu Yanji's efforts, the border areas gradually recovered and the people lived a peaceful and prosperous life.

But at this time, a new decree came from the court. It turned out that the emperor was seriously ill, and several princes were fighting for the throne, and the court fell into chaos.

Hu Yanji knew that the country could not fall into civil strife, so he decided to lead his confidants back to Beijing to stabilize the situation.
