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

Jiang Li nodded repeatedly and said righteously, "That's right. I went to the Yun Kingdom Palace in disguise just to cause trouble and plunder. I definitely don't have any improper thoughts about a demon like the Crazy Prince."

"Husband, don't worry. I like you like this, with broad shoulders, narrow waist and long legs. A real man should be like this. Feng Su is a pervert and a lunatic..."

Mo Yuan nodded and said softly, "Well, no wonder the spies reported back that the royal family of Yun Kingdom was in turmoil. It turned out that it was my wife's fault. Let them make trouble. This war is bound to come."

"After a long period of division, the world will eventually unite, and after a long period of unity, it will eventually divide. This cannot be stopped by human power, but after the war ends this time, perhaps we can have a few more years of peace and stability."

"I understand, that's why I didn't kill Feng Su and Emperor Yun, because it's useless to kill them. We still have to fight in the end. If we can't avoid it, we have to face it. We are not without confidence."

The two looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding: "Well, let's face it together. Qiguo will definitely not lose, and absolutely cannot lose."

Royal Palace

Changchun Palace

Jiang Li sat in the pavilion, looking at the baby drooling and crying across from him. He couldn't help but cover his ears and said helplessly, "Mother, my big baby is so noisy."

The queen looked at her youngest son, who was so excited that he rarely looked excited, and said with a smile, "He is not like this usually. Perhaps he is so happy because he recognized his sister. Li'er just came back, so things are going well outside."

"Well, it went pretty smoothly. By the way, mother, Xue'er is still in the cold palace. When will father release her? After all, she is a princess of a country, and it is not a good idea for her to live in the cold palace all the time."

"My mother has mentioned this matter to your father, but he has always been very secretive about it. He is very taboo about Xue'er's affairs and is unwilling to reveal it. But don't worry, my mother is taking care of the child, and no one will bully her."

Jiang Li frowned and said bluntly: "Father is really old and confused. Xue'er is just a child. What does she have to do with the destruction of the country? Even if the country was destroyed, it was because of the emperor's inaction."

"It's really foolish and ignorant to blame a child for everything."

The queen extended her hand and gestured to her: "Shh, you can say this here with your mother, but you can't tell anyone outside. Your father is in poor health and his temper is becoming more violent."

"Alas, several eunuchs were sentenced to death this month. If it weren't for the ministers' plea, I'm afraid Xu Yuanpan would have been sentenced to death as well. They said that if he couldn't be cured, he would have to be buried alive with him."

Jiang Li narrowed his eyes when he heard that. One really should not underestimate a tyrant. He never forgot to seek a sense of presence at any time and even buried people with him. Why not give him a chance to die?

"Burying people alive with the dead has long been abandoned. Why are you bringing it up again now? Does Father have this intention? If so, it would be better to send him to reincarnation as soon as possible, so that he won't be a nuisance in the world if he stays here."

"How about my royal brother? If something happens to our father, can he take over the entire court? Actually, there is not much use for our father to be alive."

Seeing her disgust on her face, the queen sighed and said helplessly: "Your brother is a kind king, but he is too soft-hearted. Now he is no match for those old foxes."

"Let it be. Your Majesty's health will only last for two years. If you go, please control your temper. Otherwise, you will really piss people off. If this reputation gets out, it will be bad for you."

Jiang Li hummed and consoled him, "It's okay. My brother is still young. No one is born an emperor. They are trained slowly. It's just a matter of a day earlier or later. I'll guard the front line, and he can take care of the rear."

"The ministers are disobedient, so I'm just killing a chicken to scare the monkeys. It's not like all the capable people are dead. I'll recruit more of them when the time comes. If they can be used, I'll use them. If they can't be used, I'll dismiss them."

The Queen heard this and smiled, "You are still too childish. The affairs of the court are not simple. You cannot be so rough. You need to plan slowly and erode their power bit by bit."

"...Hey, it's complicated just thinking about it. It gives me a headache. I'd better just fight. This is easy for me. It requires thinking and finding the right person."

Jiang Li stood up and handed the big boy over: "Mother, I'm going to go see father and come over later to have dinner with you. This is a gift for you, as well as for Xue'er and Kong Qing."

"The eldest son has some too. I've asked someone to deliver the portion for the emperor's brother, so I won't run there myself. I'm leaving now and will come back later."

She ran all the way to the bedroom and waved from afar: "Eunuch Defu, I missed you so much. I hope you are doing well after not seeing you for a long time."

Defu heard the voice sound familiar, and hurried over to greet him: "Is the princess back?"

"Yes, this is a gift for you."

"Ah, it's for me. Thank you, Princess. But I'm here to see your Majesty. I'll take you in."

After the two of them went in, they heard the occasional coughing inside, and De Fu was a little worried: "Princess, His Majesty is not feeling well. He has been alone for a long time, so his temper tends to be impatient. Can you please give way and don't make a noise?"

Let alone a fight. His Majesty is really weak now. If the princess accidentally beats His Majesty to death, what will we do then? We don't know how the history books will curse him. It will be an eternal infamy.

Jiang Li moved closer and called out, "Father, are you still alive?"

When Emperor Ming heard this, he waved his hands and said in a hoarse voice, "Get out, all of you, get out! That damn girl is so heartless. She has been gone for several months and has not even written back a single letter."

"What a sin! I am so pitiful. What's the point of living? Woohoo! I might as well die. This life is unbearable."

Both of them: “……!”

Jiang Li rolled his eyes and raised his voice: "Father, I am really back. Turn around and take a look. There are living people. If you really don't want to live, do you need your help?"

Emperor Ming suddenly turned over, his eyes widened, and their eyes met.

"You, you really are back, you dead girl. Why did you come back just now? All the medicine I gave you before is gone. Look at my face, it's no different from a dead person. Hurry up and give me some more medicine."

"Grandpa, bring the bowl here. I'll give you the medicine."

De Fu brought the bowl over and saw her cut her wrist. The blood was pouring into the bowl. He felt so distressed: "Princess, this cut is too big. Does it hurt? How could you be so cruel?"

Jiang Li shook his head, his expression calm: "It's okay, I'll get used to it. Father, come here, you can drink the medicine, and you will have strength after drinking it."

Seeing him drink it, there was a bit of greed in his eyes.

With a half-smile, he said, "Father, please don't look at me like that. You are not going to dig out my heart and liver and eat my flesh and blood to heal yourself, are you? Don't think about it, it's useless. Your body has long been hollowed out by the elixir."

Emperor Ming's eyes dimmed, and he murmured, "The imperial physician said that I have less than a year to live. I don't want to die. I really don't want to die."
