God's Daughter, Queen of Miraculous Medicine

The Emperor of Chu left the court without looking back, and Eunuch Shun followed closely behind. The ministers then slowly stood up and looked at each other with different expressions.

After leaving the court, some ministers gathered together and discussed in a low voice.

"I wonder what decision the emperor will make regarding today's matter." A minister said worriedly.

"Well, let's see what the emperor means. We can only obey his orders." Another minister shook his head helplessly.

On the other side, the Emperor of Chu returned to the imperial study, sat at the desk, held his forehead with his hand, and fell into deep thought.

"The matter of Princess Anle is indeed a thorny one. If we praise her for her achievements, it may violate the rules of ethics and morality; if we do not reward her, it may discourage people's hearts." The Emperor of Chu murmured to himself.

At this time, Eunuch Shun walked in quietly and offered a cup of tea.

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. It is important to take care of your health." Eunuch Shun said cautiously.

The Emperor of Chu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "What do you think I should do?"

Eunuch Shun quickly bowed his head and said, "I dare not speak nonsense. Everything is up to the emperor to decide."

The Emperor of Chu sighed and said, "Forget it. Let me think about it again."

At the same time, Prince Yu also received the news from the court in his own palace.

"Hmph, this is a good opportunity. I will make good use of it." A sneer appeared on Prince Yu's lips as he secretly plotted a conspiracy in his heart.

Outside the palace, discussions about Princess Anle were also rife, and the people had their own opinions.

"This county lady is really amazing. She can make powerful weapons. Who says women are inferior to men?" a young scholar exclaimed.

"But women should abide by their chastity. How can they show their faces in public? It's not right!" said an old man, shaking his head.

For a time, the entire capital was shrouded in controversy over Princess Anle, and all this had just begun...

As time went by, the King of Chu still hadn't made a final decision on the matter of Princess Anle. The ministers in the court were also secretly observing the situation, each with their own plans.

As for Prince Yu, he secretly summoned some of his trusted ministers to conspire in the palace.

"This time we must make Princess Anle the target of public criticism and never let her gain any benefit." Prince Yu said with a gloomy face.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. We have already arranged people to spread rumors unfavorable to Princess Anle among the people, which will definitely make the Emperor dissatisfied with her." A minister said flatteringly.

"Very good. If this succeeds, I will not treat you unfairly." Prince Yu nodded with satisfaction.

In the streets and alleys of the capital, there were more and more negative rumors about Princess Anle, and some even said that she had evil intentions and attempted to interfere in state affairs.

Princess Anle felt very aggrieved when she heard the news. She had devoted herself to the country, but was slandered like this.

"I just wanted to contribute to the State of Chu, why did I end up like this?" The county princess burst into tears.

Her confidants comforted her one after another: "Don't be sad, Princess. Justice is in the hearts of the people."

At this time, the Emperor of Chu finally decided to summon his ministers again to discuss the matter of Princess Anle.

The atmosphere in the court was still tense.

The Emperor of Chu spoke slowly: "Regarding Princess Anle, I have thought deeply about it."

Everyone pricked up their ears, waiting for the decision of the Emperor of Chu.

The King of Chu looked at his ministers and said solemnly, "The weapons made by Princess Anle have contributed greatly to the improvement of the military strength of our Chu State. Although it is against common customs for her to show up in public, her heart for the country is evident. I have decided to reward her and confer her the title of Princess Anle."

As soon as these words came out, the court was in an uproar. Prince Yu's face was gloomy, and he stood up and said, "Father, this is probably inappropriate. Women should be gentle and obedient, and making an exception to this may cause criticism."

The King of Chu snorted coldly: "Criticism? If we bury our meritorious officials because of old customs, it will be a loss for our country of Chu."

The ministers who supported the decision of the Emperor of Chu echoed: "Your Majesty is wise, and the princess should be rewarded for her contribution."

The ministers who opposed it still refused to give up: "Your Majesty, please think twice. This move may disrupt social order."

The Emperor of Chu waved his hand and said, "No need to say more. I have made up my mind."

After the court was dismissed, Prince Yu was furious in the palace.

"Damn it, my father is so partial to Princess Anle." Prince Yu said with gritted teeth.

The counselor offered a suggestion: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Although she is named Princess, we still have a chance to deal with her."

On the other hand, Princess Anle was not complacent when she learned about the reward, but was worried instead.

"Although I have been rewarded this time, I have also made many enemies. I am afraid that the days ahead will be even more difficult." The princess sighed.

Inside and outside the court of Chu, the turmoil surrounding Princess Anle has not subsided, and various forces are still competing secretly, and the situation in Chu has become increasingly complicated and confusing.
