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

Seeing that she woke up, Jiang Li waved and walked over, holding a strange purple stick in his hand. No one knew what it was for. The faint floral scent he smelled made him feel much more comfortable.

Did they leave the palace? But when did this happen? She just took a nap, so how could they leave the palace?

"Li'er, where did you take our mother?"

"Hush, from now on, there will only be mother here, not the queen. Before the dust settles in the palace, this is where mother and brother will stay."

The queen was shocked: "What? Are you really going to take me out of the palace? No, how can you be so absurd? If something happens in the harem, who will handle it if I'm not there?"

Jiang Li grabbed her hand and leaned forward to say seriously, "Mother, there will be people to handle the affairs in the palace. You don't have to worry. Besides, if there is any problem in the harem, a substitute can solve it."

"You should just stay here and take good care of your pregnancy. The doctor and midwife have been hired. The most important thing is to give birth to the baby peacefully."

"...Li'er, what are you hiding? What will happen in the harem? What will happen to the imperial concubine? If His Majesty finds out, he will not forgive you."

"It doesn't matter. By then he will be too busy to deal with me. Who knows, he might even come to me for help in the end."

When the queen heard her say this, she became more and more uneasy.

"Li'er, tell me a little bit so that I can have some idea in my mind. Otherwise, it will not be conducive to the maintenance of the fetus if I keep worrying about it. Don't you think so?"

Jiang Li looked at her hesitantly. What she said made some sense, but there were so many things that she didn't know how to explain. How could she explain this when her father had a green head?

"Mom, I can tell you something, but you have to promise me that you won't get excited or move. Leave everything to us, and you just need to focus on taking care of the baby."

The Queen nodded repeatedly: "Okay, go ahead, Queen Mother has been through so much, but she is not so fragile."

The possessed man whispered a few words in her ear, stood up, looked at her shocked expression, and shrugged: "This is only a small part of the matter, so you should know how dangerous the harem is, mother."

"How could this be? Xiao'er is not your Majesty's, but he looks so much like your Majesty that anyone can tell they are father and son."

Jiang Li said dimly, "It's normal for them to look alike. After all, Third Brother's biological father is our father's twin brother. They have the same genes and look the same, so naturally they can't be told apart."

The Queen looked puzzled: "Then how did you know? They would never tell anyone about such a secret. Who told you? This kind of thing is not something you can joke about."

"No, I saw it with my own eyes. The imperial concubine and that man were making love in the dark bath. My father's head is almost turning into grass, and he raised a son for nothing. He is really a complete sucker."

"Haha, this is retribution, retribution."

Jiang Li looked at the smiling man and lowered his voice: "Mom, keep a low profile. We are in a manor outside. I bought all this. It is very hidden. No one will find this place."

The queen smiled brightly: "Very good, but it's a pity that I can't see this scene with my own eyes. It's a bit regrettable."

"It's okay. After mom gives birth to the baby, there will be many more shows to watch. As for what they are, I can't tell you now, but it will be fun anyway."

"Oh, it's getting late. I can't stay outside for too long. I'll leave the care of your daily life to Sister Qiu. She will be here soon. Don't worry, Mother. Sister Qiu is a steady person."

"Okay, go back to the palace by yourself and be careful about everything. This matter is too serious. Don't tell anyone, otherwise the imperial concubine will definitely find a way to silence you."

Jiang Li readily agreed, called Sister Qiu over, explained the situation to her, and then went back along the secret passage.

Main Hall of Jinxiu Palace

The imperial concubine kept pacing back and forth with an anxious look on her face. She unconsciously clenched her hands. Whether it would succeed depended on this time. She absolutely could not let that bitch give birth to a child.

Now that the eldest princess has received the invitation from His Excellency, if she performs brilliantly, the crown prince will have her as a backer, and his position as crown prince will be more secure. For now, the safest option is to kill two people with the queen's body.

Only in this way can they be suppressed. No matter how powerful the harem is, without the protection of the queen, they will be controlled by everyone in the end.

"Lan Xin" walked in quickly and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, it's done... The Queen is bleeding and may give birth early, even if she can give birth."

"According to folk sayings, if the queen's baby survives seven times, it will not survive eight times. She herself is seriously injured and may die on the delivery bed. Even if she survives by chance, she will not be able to hold on."

The imperial concubine laughed when she heard this, helped her up herself, patted her on the shoulder, and said casually: "Lan Xin, you have grown taller recently, and I can hardly reach your shoulders."

"You did a great job on this matter. I will reward you handsomely."

"Lan Xin"'s body froze for a moment. She could change her appearance, but she was tall and there was no way she could become shorter. She couldn't just cut herself.

"It is my honor to work for you, Your Majesty. How can I ask for your reward?"

Seeing that she was calm and composed, the imperial concubine showed a look of satisfaction, and a flash of pity passed through her eyes. Alas, such a useful servant, after the task was accomplished, she was really reluctant to kill her.

But her family is a hidden danger. If she knew that all her family members died at her hands, how could they not betray her? She cannot afford the consequences.

Even if it was a wrong killing, there couldn't be any mistakes.

"Lan Xin" lowered her head, feeling the cold gaze with murderous intent, but remained calm. Her mission was about to end, and after the imperial concubine was questioned, she could leave.

There's no way to kill her.

Early next morning

In order to confirm the queen's condition, the imperial concubine brought some supplements to see the queen. After learning that the queen had given birth to a stillbirth and she herself was seriously injured and in a coma, she returned with satisfaction and brought "Lan Xin".

After she came back, she couldn't wait to contact Jiang Qiyun and asked him to start planning as soon as possible. She couldn't wait any longer. If it were in the past, she might have been more cautious.

But now the biggest threat, the Queen, has completely collapsed. Why should she continue to endure it? She can't stand that old thing for even one more day. If he touches her again, she's afraid she'll vomit.

After receiving the letter, Jiang Qiyun came out from the secret passage and handed her a bottle of medicine.

The imperial concubine secretly gave Emperor Ming drugs. She watched him become thinner and thinner, and his spirit became weaker and weaker, until his appearance was almost the same as Jiang Qiyun. Only then did she stop giving him the drugs.

The two men quietly replaced the guards and secretly took control of Emperor Ming's bedroom. After sneaking in, the imperial concubine approached the dragon bed step by step, looked at the sleeping person, and slapped him mercilessly.
