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

Midnight, the night is still

The moonlight was blocked by dark clouds, and it was pitch black all around. The guards held torches and patrolled back and forth outside the mourning hall, looking around vigilantly, fearing that something would pop up.

There was some noise in the bushes, and the guards looked stern: "Who is there? Come out quickly."

A white shadow flashed by and a cat's meow was heard.

"Commander Qi, it's just a cat. Don't be too nervous. There are three layers inside and outside, so even a fly can't get in, let alone a person. Relax."

Qi Ming frowned slightly and hummed, still feeling a little uneasy in his heart. That man was a Venerable. Even if his martial arts were not strong, he was invisible after all, and it was the most difficult to defend against an unexpected injury.

"We can't relax until that person is caught. Have you arranged someone to guard His Highness' room? They must stay there until that person is caught."

The person who spoke had a nonchalant look on his face: "Oh, maybe they have already left the palace. The assassin's target is Your Majesty, and he has already succeeded in assassinating her. Why are they still staying here?"

"...Liu Quan, His Highness is the crown prince, and there can be no mistakes. You must not let your guard down. If something happens to His Highness, we can't afford to lose our heads."

Liu Quan didn't say anything. After a while, he nodded and said solemnly, "Okay, I'll take note. Commander, you should go back and rest first. It's my turn to be on duty tonight. Don't worry, I won't blink an eye."

Qi Ming's eyelids twitched and he touched them subconsciously to suppress his uneasiness. After giving some instructions, he dragged his tired body back.

An unknown amount of time had passed. The patrolling guard was yawning and looked very sleepy. Liu Quan rubbed his eyes, stood up and walked under a tree. He took off his pants and prepared to take care of himself. In front of his eyes, he saw a flash of silver light.

His neck was cut and blood splattered on the tree in front of him. He covered his neck with his hands and looked at the guards not far away. He stretched out his hand to remind them, but his throat was cut and he couldn't speak at all.

Liu Quan fell to the ground, his vision became increasingly blurred, and soon he lost consciousness and died.

A person slowly emerged from the originally empty ground. After quickly changing his clothes, he sprinkled some powder on his body. The strong smell of blood instantly dissipated a lot, leaving only a faint smell that could not be smelled at all if you didn't smell it carefully.

The shadow man changed into Liu Quan's clothes, lowered his head slightly, and walked out swaggeringly towards the room. He slipped in when no one was paying attention, looked at the figure on the bed, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Although the Lord did not ask him to kill the prince, since he could kill Emperor Ming, he could naturally kill the prince as well. As long as the prince was dead, there would be no threat to the State of Qi, and the Lord would definitely reward him.

The holy medicine, the holy medicine will definitely be his, and he will become more powerful.

He took out a dagger, approached quietly, looked at the blurry figure, slashed his neck with the knife, smiled, and was about to leave.

The oil lamp in the room was lit and suddenly became brighter. The shadow man tensed up and looked at the bed. There was no prince there, only a dead body.

The shadow man realized something was wrong and his figure immediately faded. He was about to run, but Mo Yuan slashed at him with his palm. He looked at the fallen figure and said calmly, "Come here, take him to the prison and put black iron chains on his hands and feet."

"Yes, General."

When the others pressed down, the wall behind the screen opened, revealing a deep hole. Jiang Yu walked out from inside, looked at him and smiled, and said warmly: "Thank you for your hard work. You have to guard here so late at night."

Mo Yuan glanced at him, hummed, and stopped talking.

Jiang Yu was a little helpless when he saw this: "I know you are reluctant. At this time, you just want to be with the imperial sister, but I am the prince and your brother-in-law after all. You should at least give me a good face."

"I know I'm wrong, but I've always had this expression on my face."

"...Heh, you really think I'm blind. Look at the look in my sister's eyes, which are like flickering candles. You're still saying it seriously, Mo Yuan, you're not being honest now."

Mo Yuan looked at his eyes and nose, as if he didn't hear anything. He was thinking in his heart, what should he bring back to eat when he goes back? What did his wife like to eat? He wondered if her taste had changed.

The doctor said that pregnant women will experience morning sickness in the early stages of pregnancy. My wife is already over two months pregnant, so she shouldn’t be experiencing morning sickness anymore. Oh, it’s too painful.

Jiang Yu was talking to himself. Seeing that no one responded, his face darkened: "Hey, Mo Yuan, what are you thinking about?"

"Nothing, I just want to ask what the imperial kitchen will prepare tomorrow morning so I can take it back. Also, is there any cucumber or something like that? The imperial physician said that pregnant women's tastes will change, and they may like to eat something light and refreshing."

"...!"

After Mo Yuan finished speaking, he looked at him seriously.

The corners of Jiang Yu's mouth twitched and he couldn't help rolling his eyes. Well, it turned out that he was just talking to himself. He didn't hear a word he said and was only concerned about eating. It was really unpleasant to watch.

He snorted, "No, go find it in the imperial kitchen and eat whatever is available. That girl is not a picky eater. As long as it is not human flesh, she will eat it. Don't worry too much."

"That's right, my lady still has a good appetite."

Mo Yuan called out, "Leng Feng, stay and protect His Highness. Zhui Yun, come with me. We'll go to the imperial kitchen. It's daybreak now, so we can bring some food back for my wife."

Jiang Yu looked at their backs, his mouth twitched, and he muttered softly: "No, this is the nth time, why do they always take it from the imperial kitchen? Is the general's mansion so poor that it needs the royal family to support that girl?"

Inside Chaoyang Hall

After Jiang Li got up, he looked a little listless. He lay on the rocking chair in the yard, looking at something lazily with a blank look in his eyes.

When Mo Yuan came in with a lunch box, he saw this scene. The little person looked like a cat basking in the sun. The sunlight sprinkled on her, as if emitting golden light, making people unable to take their eyes away.

Hearing footsteps, Jiang Li looked up, and their eyes met. He couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

Jiang Li's voice was soft, as if she was acting like a spoiled child: "A Yuan, did you bring me breakfast?"

"Well, today we have crystal dumplings and fish porridge. The imperial kitchen said that crab roe porridge is not suitable for pregnant women, so they replaced it with fish porridge. You can try it and see if it suits your taste."

"And one more thing, the shadow man caught it."

Mo Yuan put the food box away and said softly.

Jiang Li's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Oh, how did you catch him? Tell me in detail. I'm very curious. I can't even see him. How did you catch him? Did you catch him?"

"Okay, let's talk while we eat."

The two of them sat at the table. Mo Yuan placed the fish porridge directly in front of her, with a doting look in his eyes: "Eat it while it's hot."

Jiang Li took the spoon and took a bite. A faint fishy smell spread in his mouth. His brows frowned instantly and he felt nauseous. He couldn't help but get up, ran out and vomited.
