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

Mo Jue said dimly, "Whether it is true or not, the truth will be revealed when we go to the palace to discuss merits and rewards. If that person is true, then this fight for the throne will be a lot of fun."

The two brothers looked at each other, thinking of the prince's frail body and the sturdy appearance of this man, their mouths twitched and they said in unison: "Prince..."

Mo Yuan pressed his forehead and said, "Brother, what is the current situation in the palace? How are His Majesty and the Crown Prince doing now?"

"It's still the same. Your Majesty is old after all, and he is obsessed with alchemy, so he is not in a very good mood. The crown prince was born prematurely and is weak, so he has been given half of the government affairs, and the rest is with the third prince."

[Emperor Ming has four sons and three daughters: the Empress gave birth to the Crown Prince Jiang Yu, who was born prematurely and was weak; the eldest princess Jiang Li; the Imperial Concubine gave birth to the third prince Jiang Xiao; the second princess Jiang Rou; the Shu Concubine gave birth to the eldest prince Jiang Yu, who was not competitive; the Chen Concubine gave birth to the fourth prince Jiang Yunsheng, who was out collecting various medicinal materials for alchemy; the third princess's daughter was the least favored and was kept in the cold palace.]

Mo Jue sighed softly, "Since they are twins born prematurely, why are their physiques so different? The Crown Prince is weak, while the Princess is in good health. It's a pity. It would be better if they were swapped."

Mo Yuan raised his eyebrows, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, as if he didn't expect that such outrageous words would come from the mouth of his banished immortal-like brother.

"Brother, are you okay? How can you say such things?"

"Alas, that's because Third Brother doesn't know. The water in the capital is so muddy, and the struggles in the royal family are so fierce. Now that His Majesty is in a worse state of mind, how can he have the energy to take care of the affairs of the court?"

"The fight for the throne is inevitable. Among the four princes, only the son of the imperial concubine has the ability to compete. The other two princes have simply given up on the position."

Mo Jue felt a little worried when he thought about this. If the third prince came to the throne, the imperial concubine and the prime minister behind him had been eyeing the general's mansion covetously. He was afraid that the entire Mo family would not have a good end in the end.

"Third brother, it's getting late. Go back and wash up and rest. We will plan the rest slowly. Now that you are all back and the family is together, we can always find a way to solve it."

Mo Yuan hummed and stood up: "Brother, I'm going to go back first. Don't tell anyone about that for now, so as not to cause trouble. Let's wait and see what happens."

"Um"

After the people had gone far away, the candle in the study remained lit for a long time.

Jiang Li didn't eat enough at night, so he felt hungry before midnight. He took out the food in the space to eat. After filling his stomach, he was ready to go to bed, but he found that he couldn't sleep.

He opened his eyes wide and stared at the curtains, feeling a little irritated.

I sat up suddenly, changed into my night clothes, and prepared to go out for a walk. Maybe I could fall asleep after that. Where should I go? As I thought about it, my eyes lit up.

Then let’s go to the palace. It’s a good opportunity to see the original owner’s mother and brother. In the original owner’s memory, these two people were the most sincere to her. I need to go to the palace to see them. I wonder how they are doing now.

Jiang Li closed the door and disappeared in a flash.

After a smooth journey to the palace, the owner looked at the densely packed houses and felt a bit confused. What should he do? Which palace was it? The original owner's memory was a bit unclear.

She herself had rarely been out of the palace, so how could she know the route? Forget it, just stroll around. If she could meet him, she would meet him. If not, it was God's arrangement.

Jiang Li was jumping on the roof. The guard only felt the breeze brushing his cheek. He raised his head and saw nothing.

He muttered: "This look has been getting worse lately."

After searching for a long time but finding nothing, I let out a breath and sat on the roof, touching my rumbling stomach. Why was I hungry again? It was so annoying. I had to go find something to eat.

Jiang Li just stood up and heard faint crying. He stopped and ran towards the direction of the crying. His eyes fell on the plaque and he identified it carefully. After confirming that it was the cold palace, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Well, she ran in the wrong direction. Her mother absolutely cannot stay in the cold palace. She is the mother of a country.

Forget it, it’s fate that we’re here, so let’s go in and take a look.

Jiang Li jumped onto a tree and sat on a branch. He looked through the gap and saw two palace maids beating and scolding a three-year-old child. The crying sound came from the child.

What is the most lacking thing in the apocalypse? Babies. The captain said that they are the hope of mankind, like treasures. How can they be scolded at will? It makes me angry.

His eyes rolled around and he came up with an idea. He let his hair down, changed into white clothes, and painted red on the corners of his eyes. He looked like a haunted creature and he laughed. Not bad, it was scary enough.

Jiang Li disappeared from the spot in a flash, and came behind the two palace maids, hanging upside down, and said faintly: "I...died...miserably. You...come...to accompany me. It's...so...cold."

As he spoke, he blew air at the two palace maids. They felt a chill on their necks and turned around subconsciously. They were facing a pale and bloodless woman with blood coming out of all her orifices, smiling sinisterly.

Screaming in fear: "Ghost!!"

They rolled and crawled away. When Jiang Li saw that they had run far away, she landed and stood up. She walked closer to the baby and saw that her pair of silver eyes were shining and were staring at her straightly without any fear in them.

"Hey, baby boy, your eyes are actually silver pupils, so beautiful, just like moonlight."

Jiang Xueer looked at the "ghost girl" with a wooden face and wiped her tears. It was the first time someone praised her for her beautiful eyes. This sister was really nice. She tilted her head and said, "You are not a ghost girl, you are a human, right?"

Jiang Li blinked his eyes: "How do you know? Can't I pretend to be like that?"

"The nose smells the smell of people."

"...Your little nose is quite sensitive. Why did they hit you?"

"The eyes are ominous, monster, bully~~"

Jiang Li's heart melted when he heard her baby voice.

Before he opened his mouth to speak, a gurgling voice came: "Little baby, you are hungry, right? I am hungry too. Shall I take you to eat something delicious?"

Jiang Xueer nodded: "Okay, sister, let's go together."

"Huh? How do you know I'm a woman?"

"The fragrance, the scented ones, are different."

Jiang Li touched her head and curled the corner of his mouth: "Very good, you little baby can do it, you have great talent. Let's go, sister will take you to eat delicious food and send you back later."

"By the way, I haven't asked your name yet."

"Xue'er, my mother named her Xue'er, because she was born when it snowed."

"Yeah, that sounds really nice. What about your mother?"

"Dead, Xue'er is unknown, killed by a curse."

Jiang Li silently held the baby in his arms, not knowing what to say. How could this child be so calm? The baby who said all this, such a poor baby, wuwu...

"Xue'er, I'll take you out of the palace. I'll take care of you."
