Chapter 1197
The Unfavored Princess 19
"Alright, you've suffered these past years. If you want anything, just ask your mother. Don't hesitate to ask your brother. It's more free and easy outside. Take good care of your health, and your mother will choose a husband for you who is of excellent character and appearance." As Dou Yuexin said this, she was already filtering through the young men in the capital, but she really couldn't find a suitable candidate right away.
Even knowing that her daughter would find it difficult to get close to her, she was still her daughter, so the choice of a husband had to be carefully considered.
It's all that bitch Liu Qiang's fault. She made her daughter suffer so much, and now her daughter doesn't even want to be close to her anymore.
But she believes that as time goes by, her daughter will definitely grow closer to her.
She didn't blame her daughter, but only that despicable bitch Liu Qiang.
I wonder how angry the other person would be if they knew her daughter was still alive and her own body had been dismembered by wild dogs.
She had been so angry that she couldn't hold back.
I should have known better than to let them get it so cheaply.
Strangling that bitch first, then throwing her to the wild dogs to dismember her, is indeed too lenient on the other party.
That bitch should be left half-dead, then thrown to wild dogs, so she can experience the agony of being torn apart while she's still alive, which will calm her anger.
"Thank you, Mother." Azhen replied with a smile, "I don't want to think about these things for the next three years. Right now, I just want to take good care of my health and live a leisurely life."
Dou Yuexin didn't react much to these words, but just smiled and said, "Okay, whatever you say."
And so, Azhen moved out of the palace.
She stopped Dou Yuexin and Yuan Cheng from building a new princess's residence for her, and instead chose an existing mansion, renovated it, and moved in.
Anyway, she won't be staying there for long. The Liang Kingdom is about to cause trouble, so it's impossible for her to wait until the princess's residence is completed before moving in.
The client couldn't have foreseen those things, but she knew that living in the palace would be impossible and inconvenient for her.
Upon leaving the palace, Azhen went into her spatial dimension and met with Zhou Xue and the others.
Zhou Xue said, "I now have 100,000 men under my command, 30,000 of whom are elite."
"I have 50,000 people here."
"I also have 50,000 people."
"I have 30,000 here."
"I only have 10,000 here, all of them are mountain bandits. I've basically tamed them all, and the bad ones have been kicked out. They're still mountain bandits now, and they can play a significant role in crucial moments."
"We have shops and teahouses all over Chu, which can ensure that every place receives the latest news. When necessary, these can be put into operation quickly. We have also collected enough information about the situation in various parts of Chu, and we are just waiting for the right time."
"Suitable varieties for various regions of Chu have also been cultivated, and once things settle down, they can be distributed for planting."
"There are also quite a few of our people in Liang Kingdom."
"I have opened a lot of bookstores and teahouses in Chongguo. Although they will not have any connection with Chongguo, I have now made connections with a lot of powerful people, which should be useful in the future."
"It's still not easy to place people in the Chu royal palace, especially those around those two. They must have some connection with them to be able to get close to them. We have people around the powerful and wealthy people in the capital, but we can't get too close to them for the time being, but it's enough."
Although the time was not long, A-Lan was still satisfied with the results achieved by Zhou Xue and the others.
Their discussion lasted all night.
Zhou Xue and the others are no ordinary people, and now that they're helping out, Azhen will definitely give them some benefits, which will only make their bodies and souls stronger.
So working for Azhen is interesting and you can also get benefits, so no one should be unhappy about it.
Some people even brought people from their own world to use.
Even those listening in couldn't help but sigh. Who could blame them when certain people in this world provoked the client, resulting in the arrival of their host? But for most, the host's arrival was a positive outcome. Now, who knows how many people's destinies will be changed because of this.
With a host present, neither the Chu nor the Liang kingdoms will remain in chaos for long. They will surely be able to pacify the region quickly and live a peaceful life.
When Azhen came out of the space, it was already broad daylight, but she was still very energetic and didn't look like she had stayed up all night.
During this time, she has been conditioning her body, and as time goes by, her complexion is getting better and better, and she is no longer as thin as she was at the beginning.
This seemed to confirm what the imperial physician had previously said about "a heart ailment."
Yuan Cheng and Dou Yuexin were naturally happy to see that her health was improving.
Azhen didn't intend to fall out with them. She would occasionally go to the palace to see them, have meals together, and so on the surface, things were still relatively harmonious.
Then one day, an urgent report came from the border: the Liang Kingdom had declared war on the Chu Kingdom. The war was not unexpected, but the other side's actions were still somewhat sudden.
Fortunately, the Marquis of Guangde was there to guard the area, so they only suffered minor losses.
Jiang Lijun, who spent his days traveling, immediately volunteered to go to the frontier and was granted permission.
Yuan Cheng and Dou Yuexin were still unhappy because of Azhen's matter.
If Jiang Lijun can perform meritorious service, that would be good; anyway, they don't want to see this person.
When Jiang Lijun left, he still took Li Gufang with him.
After a few encounters with Li Gufang, Azhen could clearly sense that he didn't have any special feelings for the client.
Judging from the client's memories, the other party treated the client differently, perhaps because of the client's identity and experience.
Of course, none of these are important for now.
Everyone in the capital was waiting to see how the war was going. Perhaps because there had been ongoing friction between the Liang and Chu kingdoms, the powerful and influential people in the capital hadn't initially thought there was anything seriously wrong.
The states of Liang and Chu were actually roughly equal in strength, so there was no way they could possibly attack the capital. At most, it would just be a waste of resources and manpower. Anyway, they weren't going to the front lines; they could eat and drink as usual, so it wouldn't have any impact.
Soon, the good news arrived, which made these powerful and influential people lower their guard even further.
Of course, Jiang Lijun participated in many of those battles, and his contributions to the victories were significant. His deeds spread throughout the capital, earning him countless praises.
Some people are even discussing privately that Jiang Lijun is so capable, they can't understand why Princess Azhen insists on divorcing him.
When A-Zhu heard these rumors, she simply shook her head.
The more people in Beijing praise Jiang Lijun today, the more they will criticize him in the future.
She didn't offer any advice; this process was necessary, after all, she needed to break down the old and build anew.
Even Dou Yuexin felt it was a pity, as Jiang Lijun was now far too powerful and handsome.
However, since they were already divorced, even for the sake of saving face, she could not possibly grant Azhen and Jiang Lijun another marriage.
Of course, she wouldn't be able to wait for Jiang Lijun's triumphant return.
Sure enough, another month passed, and news of the battle came back again, this time of defeat.
Marquis Guangde was beheaded, Jiang Lijun was captured, and the Chu army was defeated in succession. The Liang army broke through three cities of Chu in five days, and the nobles in the capital were truly terrified.
Since Azhen wasn't involved, everything unfolded exactly as she remembered.
News has returned that Jiang Lijun leaked the tactics and has already fled to Liang Kingdom to live a life of luxury. (End of Chapter)
