Chapter 2072: Chapter 54: Year’s End (Extra)

The reason why Prince Wei’s Northwestern Army could initially make the Former Emperor of Nanyue fearful was clear; Prince Wei himself was a formidable figure, both brave and wise, commanding troops like a deity. However, being forced to halt at Little Jiangnan was due to his obstinacy and his self-proclamation as emperor who cherished his life.

But with Beiyan abandoning the Capital to attack him first, he had to take it seriously, leading troops back to the battlefield. He understood very well that once Jiangnan was lost, he would meet his end here, let alone dreaming of taking the Capital. freewⅇbnovel.com

However, even from the onset of Beiyan’s campaign against him, Prince Wei had already lost the initial advantage. Leaving his familiar base of the Northwest to the unfamiliar Jiangnan was his first mistake.

When his entire heirline was exterminated, Prince Wei’s mind was in turmoil. In the battles fought against Beiyan since then, although there were wins, it became increasingly strenuous.

As time passed and the weather grew colder, the prolonged siege of Jiangnan saw endless commands for transporting supplies and provisions issued from Wufu, alongside countless orders from Ah Jiu’s large tent.

With the war between Beiyan and Nanyue lasting more than two years, the imminent fall of Jiangnan and the Capital would signify unifying the world. Beiyan’s morale could not falter.

Especially now, if the morale deflates, it might give the two forces a chance to catch their breath, and their alliance would be extremely disadvantageous for Beiyan.

Thus, Jiangnan had to be conquered swiftly while preventing the two sides from making peace.

The year-end Chinese New Year’s Eve arrived quietly in the heavy snow, as one noisy year prepared to close its Chapter.

Wufu stood under the corridor, watching the snowflakes fall, extending her hand to catch one.

Suddenly her shoulder felt a weight, warmth enveloping her. Wufu turned slightly; it was Purple Jade.

Purple Jade came with the supplements and other items sent by Empress Dowager Mo, specially to look after Wufu and manage various affairs for her, as per Ah Jiu’s wishes.

"Princess Consort, your health has just gotten better, why are you out in the wind again?" Purple Jade said with a frown.

Hearing about Wufu’s past precarious condition truly frightened her. After her arrival, she took over all the matters and wouldn’t let Wufu worry, helping her regain some health.

"Sitting indoors all day is suffocating." Wufu adjusted the large cloak on her, and said, "Purple Jade, another year has passed so quickly; I still remember when you and Jadeite first started serving me, it was in the provincial city!"

"Yes, in the blink of an eye, years have passed." Purple Jade sighed lightly.

Wufu tucked her stray hair behind her ear, saying, "Once the world is unified, I’ll arrange the marriage for you and Tan An."

Tan An, who is Chi Liu - no one would have expected that the somewhat lively yet clever and attentive Chi Liu would win Purple Jade’s heart and propose to her.

Purple Jade blushed: "There’s no hurry for that."

"How could there be no hurry? I’m already a mother. You’re even a year older than I am. If not for these past few years of constant events, you should have wed and had children earlier than I did." Wufu held her hand and said, "These years you’ve been dedicated, and when you marry, I’ll return your deed of sale to you. You won’t need your descendants to be slaves."

"Princess Consort, regardless, I wish to serve by your side." Purple Jade hurriedly said.

"I know, and after you marry, you can be the housekeeper. After all, Tan An will also need to handle the outside affairs for me." Wufu smiled slightly.

Purple Jade nodded and said, "You should have your medicinal meal now."

Wufu’s face showed a slight grimace. The taste of that concoction was becoming increasingly cloying to her. Yet, feeling her cold hands, she silently swallowed back the words of refusal.

Her health had deteriorated considerably, so she couldn’t afford to be willful.

"Master, the prince has returned!" Xiao Qi suddenly called out to her from the roof opposite.
