Phoenix Dance: The Eldest Daughter's Physician Consort Shocks the World

Su Yao waited anxiously in the palace for news from the frontier, each day filled with agonizing anticipation. Meanwhile, Xiao Yichen at the frontier was actively preparing fortifications while anxiously awaiting reinforcements.

The situation on the frontier was becoming increasingly tense, with the enemy's probing attacks becoming more frequent, and Xiao Yichen's pressure was mounting day by day. One day, he was discussing battle strategies with his generals in his tent when a soldier suddenly reported, "General Xiao, we have captured an enemy spy and found a letter on him." Xiao Yichen took the letter, his expression turning serious. The letter mentioned that the enemy had learned the route of the dynasty's reinforcements and was preparing to ambush them.

"This matter is of utmost importance. We must immediately inform the Emperor and change the route of the reinforcements," Xiao Yichen said decisively. He quickly wrote a secret letter and sent his most trusted confidant to the capital by fast horse.

Meanwhile, Su Yao also heard some rumors about reinforcements in the palace, and felt uneasy. She found Xiao Yi and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, I have heard that the war on the border is tense and the situation of reinforcements does not seem very optimistic. I am worried about Young Master Xiao..." Xiao Yi comforted her, "Don't worry, my beloved consort. I have received Yi Chen's letter and am arranging to change the route of the reinforcements so that he will not be left isolated and helpless."

However, the power struggles within the court did not cease due to the war on the frontier. Some treacherous ministers, seeing Xiao Yichen's considerable military power on the frontier, began to slander him to Emperor Xiao: "Your Majesty, Xiao Yichen is wielding considerable power on the frontier. The situation is currently unclear; what if he harbors disloyal intentions..." Upon hearing this, Emperor Xiao's face darkened: "I trust Yichen's character; he would not do such a thing. But just in case, I will send a military supervisor to the frontier to oversee the war."

Upon learning of this, Su Yao inwardly groaned. She knew that once the military supervisor arrived at the frontier, he would inevitably hinder Xiao Yichen's command and affect the progress of the war. However, she also understood that Xiao Yichen's decision was difficult to change, and could only secretly pray that he could handle this sudden turn of events.

Upon learning of the impending arrival of the military supervisor, Xiao Yichen felt helpless but had no choice but to accept it. He told his generals, "Regardless of the court's arrangements, our primary task is to defend the border and repel the enemy. Everyone should perform their duties and not be distracted by these trivial matters."

Soon after, the military supervisor arrived at the frontier. Just as Xiao Yichen had predicted, he interfered with military command and repeatedly disrupted Xiao Yichen's battle plans. During a large-scale enemy attack, the supervisor's stubbornness led to the army being put on the defensive and suffering heavy losses.

Xiao Yichen was extremely anxious. He argued with the military supervisor, "My lord, the war is critical. If we don't follow the original plan, we will suffer even greater losses. Please trust me and give me command. I will definitely lead the soldiers to repel the enemy." The military supervisor, however, was unconvinced. "Hmph, don't think I don't understand military affairs. Are you trying to use this opportunity to expand your own power? I won't let you succeed."

At this critical moment, Xiao Yichen received a letter from Su Yao. In the letter, Su Yao encouraged him to stay true to his principles, prioritize the country and its people, and not be defeated by the current difficulties. She also promised to do her best to mediate for him in the palace, ensuring Xiao Yichen understood the true situation on the frontier. Deeply encouraged after reading the letter, Xiao Yichen decided to stop arguing with the military supervisor and instead rely on his wisdom and courage to lead his soldiers to turn the tide of the battle.

He carefully observed the enemy's formation and attack route, discovering a weakness. He then secretly organized an elite force to launch a night raid on the enemy's rear, disrupting their plans. The soldiers at the front seized the opportunity and launched a fierce counterattack, ultimately repelling the enemy.

This victory left the military supervisor speechless and further enhanced Xiao Yichen's prestige on the frontier. He immediately wrote a letter to Xiao Yi detailing the battle and also informed Su Yao that everything was alright.

Upon receiving the letter, Su Yao burst into tears of joy. She took the letter to Xiao Yi: "Your Majesty, Young Master Xiao has won a great victory! He has not betrayed Your Majesty's trust, nor has he disappointed the people of the border." Xiao Yi looked at the letter, a gratified smile on his face: "Yi Chen has indeed not disappointed me. He deserves the greatest credit for this victory."

With the border war gradually stabilizing, Xiao Yichen could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He began arranging post-war reconstruction, while also looking forward to returning to the capital and reuniting with Su Yao. However, unbeknownst to him, a new conspiracy was quietly brewing within the palace, a conspiracy that would once again test his and Su Yao's relationship and their loyalty to the country…
