Traveling through troubled times: Princess disguises herself as a man and becomes a soldier to earn

Chaoyang Palace

After Jiang Li came back from outside the palace, she went straight back to her own palace and asked Bi Yue Xiu Hua to go out and inquire about the news. She guessed that Mo Yuan should go to the Ministry of Justice, and when he arrived she would go to meet his parents.

Well, I'd better get some sleep now. I'm so tired.

He slept until dark, then sat up and shouted, "Come in, beautiful lady, it's over, we still have some work to do."

The beauty came in with water and said respectfully, "Princess, what kind of clothes do you want to wear? What kind of bun do you want?"

Jiang Li got off the bed, looked around, and pointed: "This one, a little red for a festive look, and a simple bun. Don't make it look like a feather duster for me, it will look too ugly."

"By the way, I asked you to find out some information. Did you find out anything?"

"Yes, the young general has been taken to the Ministry of Justice. Princess, you are asking about this. Do you want to go there? But people from the harem are not allowed to go to the Ministry of Justice."

Xiuhua was combing her hair and talking in a low voice.

Jiang Li shook his head: "I have other plans to go, even the Ministry of Justice can't stop them. I will be worried if I don't go to check it out. What if the Ministry of Justice tortures them? This hatred will deepen."

The General's Mansion has already been wronged. If they are tortured again, their resentment will only grow. By the time the harm is done, even if the emperor apologizes, there will still be a gap in their hearts.

"Biyue, go and pack up the medicine powder and ointment for me. I will take them with me later. Also bring the jade that my mother asked for me. Also take it with me. Go to the imperial kitchen and tell them about the food and drinks."

Bi Yue was stunned for a moment and guessed that these things should be sent to the General's Mansion. However, bringing so many things to the Ministry of Justice would be a bit too ostentatious. If someone saw it, it would be bad for the princess.

"Princess, if His Majesty knew that you went to the Ministry of Justice, would he punish you?"

Jiang Li shook his head: "No, he doesn't have the courage."

"Ok?"

What did they just hear? Maybe... they heard it wrong. The princess is so bold.

Seeing that she didn't move, Jiang Li urged her, "Biyue, why aren't you going yet? I'm in a hurry, go and tell them quickly. Go with me tonight. Remember, no matter what you see in prison, don't tell anyone."

Bi Yue swallowed her saliva, feeling that the princess was going to make trouble again. If she was just going to see someone, it wouldn't have to be so grand.

Haishi

The three of them carried their things and walked towards the Ministry of Justice. Looking at the heavily guarded prison of the Ministry of Justice, Xiuhua was a little scared: "Princess, there are so many guards here, we can't get in."

"It's okay, you can go in, just close your eyes."

"...??"

Seeing them close their eyes, Jiang Li moved his fingers and several arcs of electricity flew out and penetrated into the guards' bodies. The guards only felt their bodies go numb and their heads felt a little dizzy, and they fell down in a daze.

"Okay, open your eyes."

"Come on, let's go in quickly, I have something else to do."

"Princess, if His Majesty finds out, I'm really okay. I'm really scared."

Xiuhua looked around, her face pale, obviously frightened.

Jiang Li rolled his eyes and said, okay, this little girl is just too timid, it’s better not to take her with you, lest she gets really scared and he would feel bad about it.

"Then give me your stuff and hide in the bushes over there. I'll come pick you up when I'm done here. Don't run around. Do you hear me?"

"...Okay, then I will wait for the princess to come."

Jiang Li was carrying lots of stuff, all hanging on his body, and walked in with a swagger. When he saw a guard, he would just throw an arc of electricity at him, knocking the person out without having to take any action.

She searched all the way and soon found the people from the General's Mansion. She took a quick look at the prison where they were locked up. It was not bad. It was worthy of the VIP cell she had arranged for them after spending more than a thousand taels in bribes.

It looks much bigger and has windows, so the condition is pretty good.

Jiang Li put his things down, found the key, and prepared to open the cell. At this time, the Prime Minister shouted, "Princess, why are you here? What's the matter with you coming to the prison of the Ministry of Justice without permission?"

"If you let him go, even if you are a princess, you will not be able to escape the blame."

Xue Huairen didn't expect that the eldest princess was so bold that she actually dared to come to the Ministry of Justice to release people. Humph, very good, he was just worried that he had no way to deal with the queen, and now here is the opportunity. What a fool.

The noise naturally woke up the others. Mo Yuan opened his eyes and looked at the people carrying large and small bags, who looked like they were moving house. An unconscious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Jiang Li turned his head and looked at him calmly: "Old man, are you blind? Who wants to let them go? They should not be let go empty-handed. I am clearly here to deliver food."

"Your eyesight is not good, you need treatment, don't lie with your eyes open."

With a click, the lock was opened, the cell door was pushed open, and she carried the things in. Facing all the eyes that were looking at her, she pulled the corners of her mouth and revealed a twisted smile.

Damn, I can’t afford to have a paralyzed face.

"Hello, I'm here to see you. Here are some medicines. There are some to stop bleeding, some to nourish the qi, some to remove scars. In short, there are all kinds of medicines. Keep them for emergency use."

"Here, it's from the imperial kitchen. It's all fresh tonight and very delicious. I brought it here specially for you to try. After dinner, I'll discuss something with you."

Seeing that there was no table in the cell, Jiang Li turned around and moved the jailer's drinking table directly into the cell. He placed the food on it and said, "Come and eat while it's hot."

Seeing that they didn't move, Mo Yuan stood up and said, "Grandfather, father, mother, brother and sister-in-law, please come and eat."

"...Yuan'er, when did you first meet the princess?"

"Mother, this is a long story. I will tell you in detail later. Let's eat first. Dad is injured and needs to be treated later."

When Jiang Li heard about the injury, he sniffed his nose and smelled a bloody smell. He frowned and said, "A Yuan, did someone torture you?"

Mo Yuan walked out a little, his whole body exposed in the dim candlelight. His white prison uniform was stained with blood, which was very eye-catching.

“…Who did it?”

The voice was bone-chilling. The Mo family looked at the princess, who had a smile in her eyes just now. Now she was filled with murderous aura, like a living devil. She was completely different from her previous appearance.

Seeing the little girl about to explode with anger, Mo Yuan's heart warmed up. He took a step forward, raised his head and touched her head: "It's okay, it's just a normal interrogation, the skin injuries are not serious."

Jiang Li frowned and pointed, "Since it was a normal interrogation, why didn't the old man get whipped? Don't try to hide it from me. Tell me, who beat him? If you don't tell me, the jailers here won't be able to escape."

Prime Minister: ...Old thing!!

"Yes, those two did it."

"Very good, I get it. You guys go eat, I'll take care of these two little scumbags. Damn, you took the money, but you didn't do anything, and you even tortured me. I'm giving you face, right?"
