Qin Chen and Princess Liu Yao looked at the state of the new warriors of Shu Kingdom who were previously warriors of Ming Kingdom. From their physical and mental state, they were all already in a combat-ready state.

Because General Shang Hong had been made the leader of him he was a hundred thousand Golden Lotus soldiers. The newly arrived soldiers will be under the leadership of Qiao Bao who in the near future will be appointed as one of the General of Shu Kingdom.

As for Jin Han and the others, they would be in the ranks of the higher-ups of the Black Dragon Cavalry. For Princess Liu Yao's escort duty, it was fully taken over by Qin Chen.

Zang Lei who previously served as the leader of the security warriors of the capital, he would also be appointed as a General whose main task was to guard the Royal Capital of Shu.

Meanwhile for the cities that had just joined the Shu Kingdom, those cities would still be led by the same person, but there would be representatives from the Shu Kingdom accompanying them.

The fate of the former top brass of the Ming Kingdom also came to the attention of Princess Liu Yao. After getting rid of the former higher-ups who could become the benefactors, the rest would soon be employed in the royal palace of Shu Kingdom, instead, helping the task of the Kingdom officials who were in need of a lot of energy to ease the burden of their duties after the territory of Shu Kingdom expanded twice as large as before.

With the arrangements that Princess Liu Yao had made with Qin Chen's help, the state of Shu Kingdom quickly started towards the path of glory. However, they remain wary of a major war that could happen at any time.

Other than the Gui Kingdom and the Qing Empire, they were also wary of the Chu Kingdom.

“King Song's entourage has arrived at the Royal palace and wants to see His Majesty soon,” said the soldier conveyed the arrival of King Song whose arrival had been awaited by Princess Liu Yao.

“Please King Song's entourage enter the palace! I will immediately return to the palace after picking up the prisoner,” Princess Liu Yao said then she went to the Shu Kingdom prison accompanied by Qin Chen and Zang Lei.

It didn't take long, Princess Liu Yao, Qin Chen, as well as Zang Lei who was previously in the Crown Princess's palace, were currently in the prison of Shu Kingdom.

Being in a poorly lit prison, Princess Liu Yao was able to see the state of Song Ziyi, the Empress of Song Kingdom who was none other than the younger sister of her late mother. Despite being in prison, the woman looked fine.

Song Ziyi's state was inversely proportional to the two men who had come with her. After one of them died in the inn, the other man was injured after receiving continuous torment from the soldiers of Shu Kingdom.

“It is time for Bibi to account for everything in front of King Song Kai,” Princess Liu Yao said then she asked the soldiers to remove Song Ziyi from prison.

“Eject also the man in the next prison, and drag the man to the Royal palace! If he refuses, just beat him unconscious and we'll make him realize once he's in the Royal palace!.” Princess Liu Yao's strict orders to the guard soldiers who always follow her when entering the prison building.

The three soldiers immediately left upon hearing Princess Liu Yao's orders. From where she stood, Princess Liu Yao could see three warriors forcibly dragging the man who insisted on refusing to go to the Shu Kingdom palace. Dragged from inside the prison, the man was already in a state of unconsciousness after several blows hit his body.

“Bring them both to the Royal palace! Even though he's my aunt, you don't have to hesitate to be rude to him if he can't be invited to cooperate, either,” said Princess Liu Yao then she walked out first from the prison building with Qin Chen beside her, while Zang Lei was behind her.

“What punishment do you think King Song Kai will give Aunt?” princess Liu Yao asked Qin Chen.

“Aunt you can be sure to lose the position of Empress, and it is likely that after that she will be exiled,” Qin Chen replied as he continued walking towards the palace of Shu Kingdom.

After arriving at the Shu Kingdom palace that could be said to be as grand as the Qing Empire's palace, Princess Liu Yao who this time was only accompanied by Qin Chen, she met King Song Kai and the people who came with her. After a bit of pleasantries, as usual Princess Liu Yao sat on the throne of the Crown Princess as she had yet to officially become a Queen.

However, after seeing the interaction between Princess Liu Yao and the masked man, King Song Kai knew that there was a special connection between them, and again the masked man looks the other while interacting with Princess Liu Yao. ‘Men who are cruel to the enemy, but will always protect those closest to him,’ said King Song Kai batin.

“Uncle Kai, ah I mean servant of His Majesty the King, sorry servant has acted rudely to the Royal Consort Song, who previously wanted to do bad to the servant,” said Princess Liu Yao.

Instead of being angry, King Song Kai showed her a gentle smile.

“Call Uncle as you normally would, and you don't have to apologize for what you did to that woman!..”

“You I've taken for granted like my own daughter, and what you did to that woman is indeed worthy of you to do to her. You have told me everything, with his mistake he should get a heavier punishment.”.

Only King Song Kai finished his words, Song Ziyi who was dragged by four soldiers finally arrived at the Royal Palace.

Not long after, the man she knew had been in a forbidden relationship with Song Ziyi also arrived at the Shu Kingdom palace, but she was in a fainting state.

Princess Liu Yao ordered the soldiers to wake the man by watering the man's body using salt-mixed water.

As soon as his body was doused in salt water, the man woke up and cried hysterically due to the excruciating pain all over his body that was filled with many wounds.

“I handed them both to Uncle, and it's up to Uncle to punish them,” Princess Liu Yao said.

“My daughter, I will bring them back to the Song Kingdom, and their punishment will be given before the entire population of the Song Kingdom,” King Song Kai said then he ordered the soldiers who came with him to take Song Ziyi and the man beside him to the prison carriage that he had brought directly from Song Kingdom.

After the existence of Song Ziyi and the man who kept moaning in pain was no longer visible in the Shu Kingdom palace, King Song Kai suddenly showed a serious face, then he said. “My daughter, I will send two hundred thousand soldiers should the Qing Empire come to attack Shu Kingdom. Besides, me and King Tang Gong will prepare an army for the worst possible.”.

The worst possibility that King Song Kai meant was a full-scale battle against the Qing Empire and its supporters.

Although currently only the Gui Kingdom is clearly cooperating with the Qing Empire, it does not rule out the possibility that the Chu Kingdom will join them. By joining the forces of the Chu Kingdom, it would certainly make their strength much greater and stronger than before.

Therefore, King Song Kai and King Tang Gong were in close contact with Princess Liu Yao, who, they had prepared the entire strength of the Song Kingdom as well as the strength of the Tang Kingdom to help the Shu Kingdom which could now be considered equivalent to the Qing Empire in terms of the vast area of power.

Although neither the strength of the Song Kingdom nor the strength of the Tang Kingdom were as strong as the Chu Kingdom, but by combining forces, they could compensate for the great power of the Chu Kingdom.

“Uncle should not be involved in this war because the war that will occur will only harm the Kingdom of Uncle,” said Princess Liu Yao.

“If I do not get involved and help Shu Kingdom now, not necessarily Song Kingdom will be free from war in the future. Honestly, I have a feeling they would do the same to both Song Kingdom and Tang Kingdom should they succeed in conquering Shu Kingdom.”.

“Daughter, my involvement in the war this time is not only to help the Kingdom of Shu, but if this war is not ended right now, in the future there will be war again and every war, there will be war, the residents will be the most disadvantaged side, and I don't want to see it all happen,” King Song Kai said.

“If that is the reason for Uncle, I can only welcome Uncle to the Shu Kingdom,”, Princess Liu Yao said with a smile on her lips.
