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

Upon hearing this, Emperor Ming's eyes dimmed, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart. He murmured, "I just want to live longer. What's wrong with that? Why did those Taoists lie to me? Those pills are useless and even contain poison."

Jiang Li glanced at him indifferently, his eyes full of indifference.

You deserve to suffer the backlash for going against the will of heaven, just like in your previous life, when you studied viruses in an attempt to replace aging cells in the body in order to achieve immortality, but in the end, it still backfired on humans.

How many innocent people are harmed by the selfishness of those in high positions.

Listening to his sobbing, I was speechless. He is already old, he has earned so much money from the people, and enjoyed wealth and glory for so many years, but he shouldn't feel wronged at all.

"Okay, stop crying. Father, you are already half buried in the ground. Can you stop being so childish? There is nothing to be afraid of when you die. Everyone will die. You have been waiting for decades, but I will die too."

Jiang Li's face was full of relief: "Ah, every day of life should be cherished, and live happily with the people you care about. It doesn't matter if you die in the future, just keep a normal mind, and be content with being able to come to this world."

Emperor Ming sniffed, feeling a little uncomfortable, and turned his face away: "What do you know? When you reach my age, you will naturally understand how terrible the fear of death is."

"Oh, being afraid will keep you from dying. If you get scared and terrified, you'll just die faster. What's the point? You're just worrying about nothing."

"Shut up, don't use random words, and read more books if you have nothing to do."

"No, a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent. I'm fine the way I am. Besides, I can read, I just can't write very well. What's the problem? I can just draw, that's fine. You're asking too much."

Emperor Ming sighed and said helplessly: "Mo Yuan is good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and you, what else can you do except fighting? After a long time, he will get tired of you."

Jiang Li drank tea, looking nonchalant: "It's okay, I can fight and eat, even if I can't play the piano, chess, calligraphy or painting, it's okay, I can play the suona, if he dares to betray me, I will give him a suona performance."

"…Pah, that's for the dead."

"Yes, I know. Didn't I say that I would rather betray the world than let anyone betray me? Of course, if the money is paid, then everything will be easy to discuss."

"Love it or not, if it comes, cherish it. If it's gone, accept it. Replace it with a better one. You just don't have a broad mindset. You live your life in a muddle."

Emperor Ming was silent, not knowing what to say.

Seeing him silent, Jiang Li felt a little pity for him and comforted him, "Ah, father, don't be sad. Birth, aging, sickness and death are the normal life. The Taoist priests who made the elixir for you were relatively good. You didn't encounter any Taoist priests who used evil magic."

"Come, let me tell you a horror story."

After a stick of incense

"Father, what do you think? Do you think you are doing well? It is better than becoming a person who only knows how to eat human blood. Eating the flesh and blood of your relatives is really terrible."

Emperor Ming said dimly, "Li'er, if father becomes like that, and your blood is so strong, will father eat it?"

Jiang Li raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a cold smile.

"Well, I will tear that monster into pieces in the first place. You can't eat my flesh and blood. Haha, look at this lightning, isn't it? That bloody man is burnt to a crisp."

"Yeah, there's also the smell of barbecue. Father, please don't commit suicide, or you will only die faster and more miserably."

Emperor Ming: “…Got it!!”

There was a knock on the door

The young eunuch bent down and held the medicine, kneeling on the ground: "Your Majesty, you can drink the medicine now. Here is a candied fruit. After drinking the medicine, hold one in your mouth."

"Put it aside for now. I don't want to drink it for now."

Jiang Li said casually, "Well, Father doesn't want to drink the tonic. Does he want to stay sick so that he can see his ancestors earlier? It's just medicine. Just swallow it. Why is it so bitter?"

If you get sick in the last days, you can only endure the pain. If you can endure it, you will live, if you can't, you will die. The people who can drink medicine are all people in high positions and power. If he is still not satisfied, he is really a person who has not suffered.

"Hmph, I won't drink it, it tastes terrible."

Emperor Ming waved his hand and said, "Go down. I will drink later."

The young eunuch hesitated: "This, the imperial physician has said, if it is cold it will only be more bitter, Your Majesty should drink it, it is not too bitter when it is hot."

"How dare you! Get out of here!"

Jiang Li couldn't bear it any longer, so he stood up and walked over, holding the medicine bowl, and glanced at the eunuch: "Get up, don't kneel down, your knees don't hurt, leave the medicine to me, it's very simple."

After saying this, without waiting for Emperor Ming's reaction, he pinched his chin and drank a bowl of medicine, then stuffed a candied fruit into his mouth, wiped his handkerchief across his mouth, clapped his hands in satisfaction, and said, "See, this is not very simple. You have to go and get busy while the eunuch goes downstairs."

The young eunuch looked bewildered and murmured, "Thank you very much, princess."

He turned around and walked out, with the roar of Emperor Ming behind him: "Jiang Li, you dead girl, are you going to kill your father? Who told you to drink the medicine, I, I will ban you from your feet."

Jiang Li shrugged, curled his lips, and looked indifferent.

"Okay, you're under house arrest. I can run away if I want to. Your secret guards can't stop me, so don't even think about stopping me."

"Is the medicine still bitter? Look, it's not bitter now. You don't suffer and you drink the medicine. How great! Don't make trouble every day. I'm still busy. Take the medicine on time, otherwise I'll come to force you to drink medicine every time."

After saying this, he picked up the pastries and turned away.

Emperor Ming looked at her from behind, not knowing whether to shout or not. His face turned red with anger, and he pounded the bed, muttering, "Sons are better. Daughters are useless. They make me angry every day."

Chaoyang Palace

As soon as Jiang Li entered, two palace maids rushed over and shouted happily: "Princess, you are finally back. We have missed you so much. Do you feel that it is not as good as home when you are away from home?"

...Well, actually it’s pretty good outside, exciting and there are lots of fun things.

"It's okay actually. How's Xue'er? Nothing happened in the palace, right?"

Bi Yue shook her head: "No, the princess has been quite peaceful since she left. It's only recently that Prince Xiao has returned that some people in the harem are in a state of panic. But I believe that His Majesty will definitely deal with it and will not leave it alone."

Jiang Li pulled the corner of his mouth, his eyes were full of meaning: "That's not necessarily true. People are judged by their fists. Whoever has the stronger fist has the final say."

"Ok?"

The two looked at the princess's back, looked at each other, and didn't ask any more questions. If the princess wanted to say something, she would say it. If she didn't want to say it, then as slaves, they shouldn't ask.

After preparing fruits and iced sour plum soup, Bi Yue brought them in and placed them on the table. She said softly, "Princess, come here and have some fruits and drink some sour plum soup to cool down."

"Well, it's nice to be home. It's nice to have you guys around."

"It is a blessing from my past life that I have a master like the princess."
