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

Jiang Li nodded and said nothing. If someone gave him money for free, only a fool would not take it. It did not conflict with his own purpose, so he could get as much as he could and take it home to spend on the people.

"Sure, you decide the time. Once it's confirmed, I'll come over at the scheduled time."

Emperor Yun paused, and said helplessly, "Three days from now, it will be the annual sacrificial ceremony of Yun State. All the civil and military officials will be there. Only when I go out at that time can I expose that rebellious son in front of all the civil and military officials."

"There is one more thing I can ask you. Why do you treat the Crown Prince like this? Since you are married to him, don't you have any sincerity towards him? Do you just want to leave the palace?"

Although that rebellious son was crazy, his appearance attracted many noble ladies. Why was this guy different? He treated him like a stranger. I was really curious.

Jiang Li acted as if he had seen through the world and said seriously, "I don't want to be a widow, and I don't like what my father said. During the previous sparring, I accidentally tore his clothes, and I found that he was too... incompetent."

"Rumor has it in the harem that the prince married several princesses, but without exception they all died soon after, and died in a very miserable way. Now it's my turn. Even if the prince is handsome, if he loses his erection, he may die."

"It's not like I'm dying. It's not good to be alive. What's good about being a widow? Besides, the East Palace has no heirs. In other words, the prince is not only impotent, but also has no heirs. He is really not attractive."

After hearing her words, Emperor Yun was silent for a long time, not knowing what to say. He tried hard to control himself and barely suppressed the twitching of his mouth.

Jiang Li looked at him innocently, his eyes clear: "What's wrong? It's hard to understand. If you look at it from another angle, would you be willing to marry the princess to a man who is impotent, has no heirs, and has a twisted heart and is bloodthirsty?"

"...Okay, I understand. You can go back first and come pick me up in three days. One more thing, I have three other princes. If you like any of them, you can choose one."

If this woman can really rescue him, one can imagine how good her skills are. It would be a shame to release her from the palace, so it would be better to try and see if she can stay and keep the wealth within.

Jiang Li was somewhat speechless, and emphasized seriously: "I have only one condition, to leave the palace and be free. The prince you mentioned is not interested in it. Who would be interested in a dead person?"

Emperor Yun's heart skipped a beat: "Dead man, what does that mean?"

"Oh, I forgot you were locked up. I'm afraid you don't know anything about the outside world. The three princes you mentioned were all killed when the crown prince imprisoned you."

"Even if you still want me to be your daughter-in-law, don't arrange a ghost marriage. It's good to be alive. I don't want to marry a dead person."

After Jiang Li finished speaking, he saw him sitting on the stone bed in a daze, as if struck by lightning, as if petrified. He blinked his eyes, had some guesses in his mind, and instantly understood.

Well, this guy wouldn't think that the crazy prince still has brotherly love and is saving those people's lives so that they can threaten his position in the future. He is really naive.

After a while, Emperor Yun hunched over, as if only a shell was left. His voice was a little vague: "You said they are... gone, right?"

Jiang Li hummed: "I just heard about it, I didn't see it with my own eyes, so it's hard to say. You can go out and check it yourself. It's a matter between you and your son, I don't want to get involved."

"Okay, I understand. I'll be waiting for you here in three days."

"It's getting late, I'll go back first."

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Emperor Yun sitting on the stone bed. He didn't know how much time had passed. He covered his face with his hands, unable to hide his grief. His cries of grief echoed in the secret room, and his whole body twitched in pain.

Jiang Li opened the window and jumped in. Bi Yue hurriedly stood up and walked over to her. She glanced at her and made sure that she was fine. She felt relieved: "Master, you are finally back. Is everything going well?"

"Well, it went pretty smoothly. But after seeing Emperor Yun, I suddenly felt a little more emotional. I felt that in comparison, my father's life was still a little too good. Look, no matter how angry I was, I didn't even tie him up with chains."

"After all, daughters are better. Just look at Emperor Yun and you'll know. Sons are just a little more cruel. Raising them like dogs is really unfilial."

Bi Yue didn't say anything, but her eyes twitched as she muttered softly, "When the master struck His Majesty with lightning, he didn't show any mercy. His Majesty was struck like a grandson, so there's really nothing good about it."

Jiang Li waved his hand: "Come here and have some midnight snack. I'm so hungry."

"Well, I'll bring it to you."

After the master and servant had a delicious meal, they lay down on the bed and fell asleep peacefully.

Early next morning

After Jiang Li woke up, she opened the door and was dumbfounded. The yard was full of red lanterns. Palace maids and nannies were walking back and forth with smiles on their faces. When they saw that she had woken up, they bowed and congratulated her, throwing them at her like money.

"...!"

"Wait, someone can explain what's going on."

A nanny with an unfamiliar face came over, wearing an exaggerated red flower on her head, which made Jiang Li's eyes hurt. What was going on? Did she travel through time again, or was her memory disordered?

"Congratulations, Crown Princess. The Crown Prince has sent a message saying that he will come to your place tonight to consummate the marriage. As long as you give birth to a child, when the Crown Prince ascends the throne, you will be the queen who rules the country."

Jiang Li's face fell when he heard that. He had a wooden expression and a cold look in his eyes. "Consummate the marriage, consummate his marriage, you damn shemale, you must be dying of it."

Seeing that her master looked unhappy, Bi Yue hurried forward and whispered, "Master, come here. I have prepared some delicious food for you. Eat first. When you feel better, we can talk later."

"Well, come in."

After eating something, Jiang Li looked better: "What did that lunatic say? Tonight is the night to consummate the marriage? Does he think his life is too long and wants me to help him lose some weight?"

"Master, before you woke up, a eunuch came to tell you that His Highness had been busy with the sacrificial ceremony recently and had not been able to come, so he had to come to consummate the marriage tonight."

"I'll take you with me when we get to the grand ceremony."

Bi Yue exhaled, somewhat helplessly: "Master, it looks like we have to leave here early, otherwise if something really happens and the son-in-law really goes crazy, it's better not to do anything."

Jiang Li took a sip of tea, put down the cup and squinted his eyes: "It's impossible to consummate the marriage. Since he wants it so badly, I'll do a good deed by helping the madman and the other person."

"Come closer and listen, let's do this and that..."

The master and servant whispered for a while, Bi Yue's mouth twitched, and she suppressed a smile: "Okay, I understand, but I'm afraid it's not easy to drug the crazy prince."

"It's easy. It's just a matter of knocking him out and giving him drugs. It's very simple. I can't go to the ceremony. I have other things to do. I don't have time to go. The day of the ceremony is when we leave."

Bi Yue nodded and couldn't help laughing: "That's great, we can go home now. I wonder how the master plans to leave."

"Set fire and faked death."
