God's Daughter, Queen of Miraculous Medicine

After the Queen left, Emperor Liang paced back and forth in the imperial study alone, feeling extremely depressed.

At this time, a minister asked for a meeting.

"Your Majesty, the situation is critical now. The Chu State is powerful, and our top priority is to stabilize the situation." The minister said while kneeling.

Emperor Liang stopped and looked at the ministers. "What do you think should be done?"

The minister raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, why not send an envoy to negotiate peace with the State of Chu and try to redeem the eldest prince? At the same time, prepare the army for war and wait for the right opportunity."

Emperor Liang pondered for a moment, "Negotiation? I'm afraid Chu won't agree easily."

The minister said: "Even if Chu does not agree, it can delay time and give us more time to prepare."

Emperor Liang nodded slightly, "That's the only way. Go and arrange for an envoy to go to the State of Chu as soon as possible."

The minister accepted the order and left.

On the other hand, after returning to her bedroom, the queen continued to shed tears and had no appetite.

"Your Majesty, please eat something. If you continue like this, your body will collapse." The palace maid advised.

The queen shook her head. "How can I eat this? Lier is still suffering. My heart feels like it's being fried in oil."

At this moment, the queen's personal maid came in hurriedly, "Your Majesty, it's bad. I heard that the State of Chu rejected our request for peace."

The queen swayed and almost fainted, "What should I do?"

The maid quickly supported the queen and said, "Your Majesty, you must take care of yourself. I believe His Majesty will find a way."

In the court, Emperor Liang was furious when he learned that the State of Chu refused to negotiate peace.

"The State of Chu has gone too far!" Emperor Liang slammed the table and stood up.

The ministers knelt down one after another, "Your Majesty, please calm down."

Emperor Liang took a deep breath and said, "Pass on my order to intensify the training of the troops and prepare for a battle with the State of Chu!"

The entire Liang State was plunged into intense preparations for war, and the fate of the eldest prince remained uncertain.

While the State of Liang was busy preparing for war, the State of Chu was in jubilation.

In the court of Chu, ministers gave advice to the monarch one after another.

"Your Majesty, Liang's request for peace was rejected, so it will surely make a desperate move. We should strengthen our defenses," said a minister.

The King of Chu sat on the throne and smiled confidently, "The Liang Kingdom is now at the end of its strength and there is no need to be afraid of it. But we must not neglect the matter of defense. Pass on my order and send more troops to strictly guard the border."

At the same time, Liang's eldest prince Huyan Lie was in Chu's prison, looking haggard.

"My Liang Kingdom will not give up and will definitely come to rescue me." Huyan Lie murmured to himself.

The Chu soldier in charge of guarding laughed and said, "Humph, your Liang State can't even protect itself, and you still want to save you?"

Hu Yanlie glared at him, "The Chu State will be punished for being so arrogant."

As the days passed, the army of Liang State gradually assembled, and Emperor Liang personally saw the soldiers off.

"My fellow soldiers, this battle concerns the dignity of the State of Liang. You must fight bravely and rescue the eldest prince!" Emperor Liang said loudly.

The soldiers shouted in unison: "We swear to destroy the State of Chu and rescue the prince!"

The battlefield was filled with smoke and shouts of killing. The Liang soldiers charged at the Chu army with the determination to die.

The Chu army did not retreat either, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides.

A general of Liang State led the troops and fought bravely, but unfortunately he was hit by a stray arrow and fell to the ground and died. This further aroused the anger of the Liang soldiers, and they fought more bravely.

On the Chu side, the generals commanded calmly and resisted the attack from Liang with sophisticated equipment and strict formations.

The battle lasted for several days, with heavy casualties on both sides.

One night, the military advisor of Liang State gave advice to Emperor Liang.

"Your Majesty, if this continues, both sides will suffer. It is better to withdraw the troops for the time being and find a better strategy."

Emperor Liang looked at the battlefield engulfed in flames and fell into deep thought.

In the end, Emperor Liang had no choice but to order his troops to retreat.

The Chu State also breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the shadow of war still looms over the two countries, and the future situation is still full of uncertainties.

After the Liang Kingdom withdrew its troops, the country was filled with gloom and sadness. The Emperor of Liang was in the court, looking at his ministers with a gloomy face.

"During this expedition, we suffered heavy casualties and failed to rescue the eldest prince. I feel ashamed towards Lie'er and the people of Liang!" Emperor Liang said angrily.

The Prime Minister stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this defeat is not because our soldiers are not brave, but because the State of Chu is too powerful. The current plan is to recuperate, rebuild our military, and then come up with a good strategy."

Emperor Liang nodded slightly and said, "What the Prime Minister said makes sense, but now the treasury is empty, how can we rebuild our military?"

At this time, the Minister of Revenue stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, you can increase taxes and raise funds."

As soon as this was said, some ministers immediately objected: "No, the people's lives are already difficult now, and if we impose more taxes, there may be unrest among the people."

Everyone was arguing, and Emperor Liang was upset.

In the State of Chu, the Emperor of Chu was discussing with his ministers.

"Although Liang has withdrawn its troops, it will not give up. We need to strengthen our defenses," said a minister.

The King of Chu said, "Yes, pass on my order to reinforce the city walls and train new soldiers to prevent Liang from invading again."

In the Liang Kingdom's harem, the queen learned that Liang Kingdom had withdrawn its troops and failed to rescue the eldest prince. She was extremely anxious and once again came to the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, are you going to give up on Lier just like that?" the Queen cried.

Emperor Liang said helplessly: "My beloved concubine, I don't want to do this either, but the current situation forces me to endure it temporarily."

The queen said in despair: "Your Majesty, I cannot live without Lier."

Emperor Liang comforted her, "Don't worry, my beloved concubine. I will definitely find a way to rescue Lie'er."

After that, the whole of Liang State was preparing for another battle with Chu State, and Chu State was always on the alert for Liang State's moves.

Time passed, and another year passed in the blink of an eye. After some efforts, Liang State recovered slightly and its military was strengthened to a certain extent.

Emperor Liang summoned his ministers again to discuss sending troops to attack the State of Chu.

"Now the time has come. I have decided to send troops to the State of Chu again to rescue the eldest prince and avenge our previous humiliation!" Emperor Liang said firmly.

The ministers looked at each other, some supported and some worried.

Finally, the Liang army set out on the journey again, and a more intense war was about to break out.
