After the death of the demon concubine, it did not rain in Qingzhou.

The focus shifted back to the Crown Prince, and the court was filled with internal strife.

As for Aniang, she completely blamed me for Ah Jie's death.

She even had someone drug me, trying to poison me, and hired an assassin to kill me.

Fortunately, Chen Xiang protected me, and I narrowly escaped danger several times.

I just found it annoying.

This prevented me from wholeheartedly treating Chen Xiang's leg.

During this period, the biggest joy for me was Chen Xiang's leg.

Day after day of treatment made Chen Xiang's leg regain sensation, and the toes of both feet could move!

Although standing up was still far away.

But progress brings hope!

Two months later, Chen Xiang was able to walk with my support.

The flower farmer was first in disbelief, then became overjoyed, almost kneeling down to me.

"I was once suspicious of Madam, now I am truly ashamed. Please forgive me, Madam!"

I quickly stopped him.

The fact that Chen Xiang could stand up was a secret.

Only the three of us knew, in the eyes of others, he was still a crippled person.

Chen Xiang seemed to be getting busier.

I realized that something big was about to happen.

Soon after, the Emperor fell ill, and the Crown Prince acted as regent.

Not long after that, there was a rebellion in Qingzhou!

The Crown Prince sent his trusted general to suppress the rebellion.

Ironically, the general he sent was indulging in pleasure and was assassinated before the war even started. The imperial army of tens of thousands was left without a leader and was defeated by the mixed rebel forces.

The Crown Prince sent out a new general, but he also died at the hands of the rebels shortly after.

Not only that, the barbarians invaded, and with internal and external troubles, the military was in chaos.

The Emperor was greatly disappointed in the Crown Prince and pushed him aside, taking back control of the country.

After much consideration, the Emperor thought of Chen Xiang.

"Your Majesty, Chen Xiang's legs are crippled. I'm afraid he's not suitable for such a great responsibility," many courtiers objected.

"Then find a few capable warriors!" The Emperor's words silenced the courtiers. "Even with his legs crippled, Chen Xiang can fight!"

When the Emperor said those words, he probably lacked confidence himself.

However, Chen Xiang did not disappoint him.

Just one month after leading the troops, he pacified the rebellion!

After quelling the rebellion, he immediately went to the border and fought against the barbarians!

Chen Xiang became famous for his battles against the barbarians. The barbarians feared him, but they also remembered that he was a cripple, so their fear was not as great.

But on the battlefield, they witnessed Chen Xiang standing up.

The barbarians' morale weakened, and they were soon defeated by Chen Xiang's forces and fled in disarray.

Chen Xiang returned victorious and was bestowed the title of Marquis of Zhen Guo, as well as the position of Grand General of Zhen Guo!

The Emperor held a grand welcoming banquet for Chen Xiang.

Before the banquet ended, Chen Xiang hurriedly returned.

"I haven't seen you in three months, and I've missed my wife," Chen Xiang said, making the Emperor burst into laughter and urging him to come back quickly.
