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

The imperial concubine's entire body was soaked in icy water. The threat of death made her panic. She waved her hands and screamed, "Your Majesty, save me, someone come quickly... help... help me!!"

Seeing this, the shadow guard hiding in the dark came out and prepared to go down and pull the imperial concubine out. That was the imperial concubine that His Majesty loved the most. If they did not save her, His Majesty would definitely not forgive them in the future.

When Jiang Li saw them coming out, he laughed sinisterly: "Oh, I knew it, the imperial concubine must have had an affair with the shadow guard. Father didn't even call for help, and you guys are so active, I guess you are all mistresses."

No matter their frozen bodies and collapsed eyes.

Turning his head to look at the person struggling in the water, he shouted, "Your Highness, as a concubine in the harem, actually had an affair with the harem shadow guard. You are so bold. Why don't you answer? You must be guilty."

"Ah, father, the imperial concubine is having an affair. You are in trouble. How can you tolerate this? You must kill her. Otherwise, you will feel uncomfortable."

The shadow guard looked at the crazy princess, then at the imperial concubine who was floundering in the water and unable to speak, and came to a conclusion that he would take a detour when he saw the princess in the future.

The leading shadow guard took a step forward and knelt on the ground: "Princess, I beg you not to talk nonsense. This has never happened before. Your Highness and I are innocent, really."

Jiang Li glanced at him and said, "Well, I know. I am not saying this for you to hear. I am saying this for the Imperial Concubine and my father to hear."

"If the emperor is suspicious of you and wants to kill you, just come to me. If you work for me, your monthly salary will be doubled and the poison will be cured for you."

"Don't worry. Although I'm not very smart, I'm good at protecting my father. I'm smarter than him. I'm definitely a good master. You should think about it carefully..."

Shadow Guards: ...Is this even possible? !

A loud roar came from behind: "Jiang Li, you little bastard, I have spoiled you too much in the past, right? Why don't you pull the person out? If anything happens to the imperial concubine, I will never forgive you."

The queen caught up with her black hair, and after hearing this, she stopped and her eyes dimmed. As expected, His Majesty loved the imperial concubine from the beginning to the end, even though the imperial concubine's family had hidden the dragon robe.

Even if they have committed a capital crime, Your Majesty must exonerate them.

But the General's Mansion supported Yu'er. Just because of a few letters, they said they would capture him. If Li'er had not returned in time, he would have been beheaded. Without the support of the General's Mansion, how could Yu'er still sit firmly on the position of crown prince?

Haha, Your Majesty is so heartless.

The queen turned around and sat aside.

Seeing this, Qingsi was confused: "My queen, why don't you leave? If His Majesty is not good to the princess, what should we do? You can go and persuade him, right?"

"It's okay. Look, Li'er is at a disadvantage. Even if Your Majesty wants to take Li'er down, it depends on whether the Shadow Guards can defeat her. If they can't, then you can only be angry."

"My legs are tired, I want to sit down and rest. If Li'er suffers, it won't be too late for me to step forward. It's not appropriate to go now. What if His Majesty uses me to threaten Li'er? As long as Li'er doesn't suffer, there's no need for me to step forward."

Qingsi's mouth twitched when she heard this, and her eyes were full of shock. This was what the queen, who was always gentle and generous, said. Could it be that she had been led astray by the princess?

On second thought, it does make sense. His Majesty is angry right now, so it's better not to appear in front of him to avoid being pissed off. Then the queen will definitely be sad again.

Emperor Ming pointed, his fingers trembling.

Jiang Li stopped talking after he yelled, and kindly reminded him, "Father, the imperial concubine is about to die. Are you sure you want to continue arguing with me? If you don't save her first, I'm afraid Ye Ye will come to you to complain if the imperial concubine dies."

A gust of wind blew and Emperor Ming shuddered.

He liked the charm of the imperial concubine when she was alive. Who wants it? No, what nonsense is this dead girl talking about? The imperial concubine is in trouble.

He ran over quickly, looking at the concubine whose black hair could be vaguely seen in the water and whose voice could not be heard, his expression suddenly changed. He then glanced at the shadow guard kneeling on the ground and yelled, "Damn it, are you all blind?"

"Why don't you save the imperial concubine?!"

The shadow guards all looked at the princess, and when they saw that she didn't say anything, they knew that she had acquiesced. Without hesitation, they jumped down, not daring to have any physical contact with the imperial concubine. They simply grabbed her clothes and pulled her up.

After putting it on the ground, he was a little at a loss. Should he press it or not? If he pressed it, would His Majesty suspect that he was having an affair with the imperial concubine? That would be hard to explain.

Seeing that he didn't move, Jiang Li's eyes flickered. It would be too easy for her to kill the imperial concubine now. She still needed to use her to negotiate terms. It would be more fun to torture her slowly. It would be better to make her live a life worse than death.

"Get out of the way, I'm here to rescue you, you're so clumsy."

He took a step forward, raised his foot and stepped hard on her stomach.

With a "wow" sound, the imperial concubine spat out water and started coughing.

Seeing this, Emperor Ming didn't bother to scold her. He squatted down, helped the imperial concubine up and leaned against her arms, his eyes full of worry: "My beloved concubine, are you okay?"

The imperial concubine wanted to say something, but when she saw Jiang Li's eyes, which were so cold that they were not human, she was so frightened that she trembled and threw herself into Emperor Ming's arms, sobbing softly and refusing to speak.

That aggrieved look almost melted Emperor Ming's heart.

"Come here, take the princess and put her under house arrest. Do not release her without my order. Otherwise, you will be severely beaten with a hundred sticks."

Jiang Li sneered, "Father, let me kindly remind you that these shadow guards are no match for me. If you ask them to arrest me, that would be superfluous."

Emperor Ming stared at her with wide eyes: "What do you mean? Are you planning a rebellion?"

"Alright, father, please don't insult me. I'm not interested in that position. Besides, only father would like that crappy position."

"As a woman, I will never be able to sit in that position. Of course, if Father insists on giving it to me, I can accept it reluctantly. Alas, I am just a soft-hearted person."

When Emperor Ming heard this, his eyes went dark. How presumptuous! Too presumptuous! He gritted his teeth and said, "Very good! The Queen has taught me well. She is not worthy of being the Queen. How about..."

Jiang Li couldn't bear it when he heard this, and his eyes turned cold: "Father, let me remind you that you were just an unfavored prince. If it weren't for the Queen Mother's love for you, you would still be staying in the cold palace."

"You really think you are the chosen one. That's because my mother's family supports you. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to sit in this position. What qualifications do you have to depose my mother?"

"Besides, I am your offspring, right? Teaching is a matter for both of us. What did you teach me? All the good things are yours, and all the bad things are my mother's. I am not an orphan with only a mother but no father."
