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

Splendid Palace

After the imperial concubine returned to her bedroom, she sat on a chair, staring at a place thoughtfully. "Lan Xin" walked in, lowered her head and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this is sent by His Majesty. It is your favorite pastry."

"Well, leave it there."

"Lan Xin, come closer. I have something to do for you. First do this and then do this. Do you understand?"

"Lan Xin"'s heart skipped a beat. The imperial concubine was so bold that she actually wanted to kill the empress dowager. Was she crazy? This news had to get out, otherwise the empress dowager would die and the general's plan would be ruined.

Seeing her in a daze, the imperial concubine said dissatisfiedly, "What are you thinking about? Are you still feeling that something is wrong? Are you afraid that I will use you as a scapegoat? Humph, what? You don't believe me, do you?"

Nonsense, of course I don't believe it. The Imperial Concubine's move clearly means she won't be allowed to live anymore. In other words, once the Empress Dowager's plan is done, "Lan Xin" will no longer be of any use to her.

Her mission is about to end.

"Lan Xin" knelt on the ground with a plop, her expression sad: "I am loyal to the Majesty and have never had any second thoughts. How could I be unwilling? For the Majesty, I am willing to die."

The imperial concubine said meaningfully: "Very good, I know your sincerity, don't worry, your family will enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future."

You are just no longer alive, you are underground. Can't you just ask people to burn more paper money for you?

midnight

A shadow flew out of Jinxiu Palace and quickly arrived at Chaoyang Palace, landing in the courtyard. Before he could get close, a sword was put on his neck, and a man with murderous intent said, "Who dares to trespass? You are seeking death."

"Qianying... I'm Qianye. I'm here to see the princess for something important. Please don't make trouble. You can't even recognize me."

The coldness on her neck left, and a man stood in front of her with a puzzled look in his eyes: "Why did your face change again? It looks so ugly. When will it return to its original state?"

Qian Ye rolled his eyes at him and said, "Nonsense, do you think I want to stand up to someone else? That's not the task assigned by the master. Once it's completed, it will naturally return to its original state."

"Stop talking so much. You are not like a man to be so dithering. I want to see the princess. You are hard of hearing and you are not listening."

"My master actually wanted to find a man to protect the princess. This is a bit too ambitious. Aren't you afraid that someone will steal your hand? When my mission is over, I will ask my master to protect the princess."

Qianying looked at her with disgust, and the corner of her mouth twitched: "You are really unforgiving with your mouth. You are a good girl, but it's a pity that you just have a mouth. It would be better if it was mute."

With a bang, a figure was kicked out.

Qian Ye snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards the bedroom, raised his hand and knocked on the door, but there was no sound from inside, so he could only go in through the window. The master said that the princess was usually soundly asleep and he could climb in.

Don't get close to him easily, keep your distance, or you will deserve to be beaten.

He slowly approached the bed and called out, "Your subordinate Qianye greets the princess. I have something important to discuss with you."

Jiang Li opened his eyes, sat up slowly, and stretched: "Well, don't kneel down, it's so cold on the ground, come up and make a bed and talk slowly."

Qianye stood up, looking confused, and shook his head: "No, I dare not. I should go back after I finish my business. If I stay out for too long, the imperial concubine will be suspicious."

After half a stick of incense

"The Imperial Concubine is really a vicious female supporting role."

"Let's follow the plan. Since we are going to cause the Queen Mother to fall into the water, we will definitely not use a lethal poison. At most, we will use a drug that will make people unconscious, so that we can get ourselves out of this."

"Grandmother, I will send someone to rescue you. Just complete the mission and evacuate as soon as possible. Don't worry about anything else. Your own safety is the most important."

Qianye's eyes warmed up: "Well, I understand. After completing the task, I can come to guard the princess. Qianying is a man after all, so it's not very convenient."

Jiang Li yawned and said, "Sure. I like Qianye too. Come on, I'll just tell your master when the time comes. We can eat delicious food and stay in bed together in the future."

"...Um, I'll leave first."

She can eat delicious food, but she can’t sleep in the quilt. If her master knew, he would twist her head off, and she doesn’t have that courage.

After the others left, Jiang Li's eyes became clearer and clearer. He fell on the bed and couldn't fall asleep. He stared at the night sky and counted sheep, one, two, three...

Queen Mother's Bedchamber

A man was kneeling on a round fan, threading Buddhist beads in his hand and muttering something.

crunch~~

The door was pushed open, and the Queen Mother subconsciously turned her head to look over, frowning: "Who are you? Who let you in? You are so brave. Someone come here."

"Lan Xin" chuckled and said, "Empress Dowager, I am here on the orders of the Imperial Concubine to take you to see the Buddha and hold her down."

Two young eunuchs stepped forward and restrained the Queen Mother. "Lan Xin" pinched her chin and stuffed a pill into her mouth. She watched her swallow it and said deliberately, "It's not good for the Queen Mother to be in the temple. Why did you come back to ruin the Queen Mother's business? You deserve to die."

The Queen Mother retched but couldn't vomit. Her eyes were filled with horror. "The Imperial Concubine is so bold. She wants to kill me. Someone, come quickly."

"Stop shouting. No one will come to save you. You must die today."

Watching the man slowly fall down, "Lan Xin" sneered: "Carry him away, and quickly finish the master's work, so that we can go back and report and get the reward."

With a splash, water splashed.

"Lan Xin" waved her hand and said, "You go back and report to the Queen Mother. I will wait here until the body floats up and we confirm that the Queen Mother is dead. You heard me."

The two young eunuchs did not dare to disobey. Lan Xin was a favorite of the imperial concubine and was dedicated to working for her. They could not afford to offend her, so they nodded and turned to leave.

A figure fell from the tree, jumped into the water, and quickly rescued the person. Looking at the person who had spit out water and whose chest was rising and falling normally, "Lan Xin" nodded and picked up the person horizontally.

"Qianying, the princess said that she wants me to follow her from now on. You should go back to the master and report. I'm going to find the princess."

"...Huh? You really are destroying your bridges after crossing them."

Qianye glared at him and kicked him: "Get lost, stop talking nonsense, and get out of the palace quickly. The princess will be fine with me, so stop getting in the way here."

He disappeared in a flash.

Qianying stayed where she was, muttering, "Humph, they always think of me when they do work, but they never think of good things. Everyone knows that it's good to be with the princess, with food, drink and money."

"Master, that's fine... Never mind. I'm so poor. Sigh."

After hesitating for a while, he flew out of the palace.
