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

Mo Jue turned to look at her, his face became as warm as spring breeze, and he said softly: "Princess, there is no need to excuse him like this. You are not wrong. Third brother is a few years older than you. If there is any fault, it must be his fault."

Jiang Li: ...Brother, your logic is perfect!

"Um, big brother, I came to you because I have something very important to tell you. My brain is not working well, so I want to ask you what I should do to kill the imperial concubine."

"A Yuan, let me see your confession. I can't explain it clearly. You should read it yourself."

After a stick of incense

The two of them stared at Mo Jue, who was petrified. They stretched out their hands and waved them in front of his eyes: "Brother, are you... okay? Do you want to see a doctor? I know how painful it is to have your worldview shattered."

"If you want to call father stupid, don't be polite and just do it. Don't lose your temper. It's not your fault that you followed the wrong master. I had a stupid father like that, and I was also upset."

Mo Jue put down his confession and didn't bother to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor. He covered his face for a long time before he laughed softly. The laughter leaked out from between his fingers, which made people feel a little creepy.

Jiang Li grabbed Mo Yuan's hand and shook it, "It's over, it's over, my brother has gone crazy, what should I do?"

"It's okay. Big brother's mental endurance is not that bad. He can laugh. He must have a plan to bring down the imperial concubine. The third prince will naturally not be a problem."

After a long while, Mo Jue adjusted his mood, put down his hands, and showed a face full of smiles. He said with a burning gaze, "Princess, if you want to kill the imperial concubine, this is very simple. But if you want to bring down the third prince, you need to plan carefully."

Jiang Li scratched his head: "Well, big brother, just tell me and I'll do it. Don't analyze it to me. I don't understand..."

"Okay, Princess, you don't have to do anything. Just pretend you don't know. Leave the rest to me. These testimonies cannot be given to His Majesty. Once His Majesty knows, he will definitely question the Imperial Concubine."

"It would be easy to alert the enemy if we do that. It is better for us to prepare secretly and wait for an opportunity. That opportunity is coming soon. No matter how much we say, it is better for Your Majesty to see it with his own eyes and hear it with his own ears."

Mo Jue paused and continued, "The Imperial Concubine will not allow the Queen to give birth to the prince smoothly, so she will definitely take action before the Queen gives birth. That is the opportunity we are waiting for."

"Let's do this first, and then this. Princess, do you understand?"

Jiang Li nodded, his eyes clear as water: "I understand, brother, you are easy to understand, unlike those people who talk a lot of nonsense, it's hard for me to understand."

Mo Jue couldn't help but purse his lips and smile. He just found that he had to speak simply and clearly to the princess, otherwise she would misunderstand and who knows what she would do.

"Brother, in two months, I can bring the Queen Mother out. But who should I ask to disguise herself as the Queen Mother? Someone with good skills is needed. Otherwise, if someone dies, it will be terrible."

"Well, I will arrange for someone to go in. Princess, don't worry. Just pretend nothing happened. I will tell you when I am ready."

Jiang Li glanced at the sky outside and stood up: "Brother, do you have anything else to tell me? If not, I'm going back. It's getting late. It won't be good if someone finds us."

Mo Jue nodded: "Third brother, go and see the princess off."

"it is good"

After a while, the people came back. Mo Jue sat on the stool and poured a cup of tea and handed it to him: "Sit down, we will discuss the rest of the matter. The princess doesn't need to get involved. She just needs to be happy."

Mo Yuan nodded: "My princess is timid and soft-hearted. She can play with fighting, but forget about it if it involves bloodshed. She will cry."

"... Third brother, you have now learned to lie with your eyes open, which is very good."

"That's right, isn't it? The Mohist school is a tradition in their bones. My wife can't be wrong. If she is wrong, it must be someone else's fault. I am just learning, and I can't compare with my elder brother."

Mo Jue said unhappily, "Okay, stop talking nonsense. Send someone to keep an eye on the Imperial Concubine, the Prime Minister, the Third Prince, and Prince Yun. Don't be careless. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Mo Yuan straightened his expression, and the two brothers wrote and drew on paper until dawn, when they went back.

After Jiang Li returned, he fell into a deep sleep and did not get up until the sun was high in the sky. Xiuhua had no choice but to shout over and over again: "Princess, it's getting late, hurry up and get up for breakfast."

"Didn't you say before that you were going to accompany the Queen for dinner? How come you can't get up again after just a few days?"

The shy flower kept buzzing in my ears like a Buddhist scripture.

Jiang Li sat up suddenly and grabbed her hair in annoyance. She hadn't slept well at night recently and was not allowed to sleep in the morning. Whose princess was so miserable? Couldn't she just lie down?

Now that the big thing in her mind has been resolved, what's wrong with her wanting to sleep in?

He looked at her with resentful eyes: "Xiuhua, you will never get married in the future. This is too cruel. Which kind person would wake up so early?!"

"What's wrong with sleeping in? It's against the law."

Xiuhua blinked her eyes without any fear. She had served the princess for such a long time, how could she not understand her? She was just hard-mouthed but soft-hearted, and could not bear to punish them.

"Princess, a day's plan begins in the morning, so don't be lazy. But where did the dark circles under your eyes come from? Did you stay up late and go out for a walk?"

Jiang Li covered her face and cried, "Okay, get up. I'm getting up right now. Don't call me tomorrow morning, or I'll... tell that little guard that you like him."

"Huh? Who, who likes him? No, no."

Xiuhua felt a little guilty and turned her face away, her ears blushing. It was just that the young guard helped her last time and she was just grateful to him, there was no love between men and women.

"Yes, yes, no. We at Xiuhua definitely don't embroider purses for people in private. Those purses don't look like they are for women."

"What kind of good person would use black cloth? It's obviously for men. Tell me, was it given to that little guard during the Qiqiao Festival? I know it's like this."

Jiang Li stretched out his hand: "If you want me to keep silent, you can't be partial. Embroider one for me too. Use green cloth. You can choose the pattern yourself. It will be considered as hush money."

Xiuhua chuckled: "Princess, if you want to say it, just ask. Why are you beating around the bush? I'll embroider a few more for you. What pattern do you like?"

"Well, I like all the food. How about you embroider the food for me without any flowers or plants? That way, whenever I pick up my purse, I will think of you, okay?"

"Okay, then I'll embroider vegetables, braised pork, fish, and the like. No one has ever embroidered like this before. Princess, you are so smart."

"That's right. Fortunately I didn't inherit my father's brains."
