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

The two looked at each other, neither of them said anything. Emperor Ming exhaled and said, "Where are you from and where do you live? Tell me in detail."

Jiang Li shook his head: "I don't remember. I was hit on the head and lost my memory. I crawled out from a pile of corpses. I don't remember where my home is, but the pile of corpses is very close to Beihuang City, so I joined the army."

"Well, it's uncomfortable to be hungry. Join the army and you'll have food to eat."

Hearing this, Emperor Ming felt sad. Xiao Lili was his first daughter and also a legitimate princess. He had loved her since she was a child. If it weren't for the imperial concubine's whispering before.

I was confused for a moment and was reluctant to send Li'er to marry. After knowing that she might have an accident, I felt like a piece of my heart was dug out. Now... Well, I still need the Queen to come and see if it is true.

It would be better if there was no spy sneaking in. We still have to investigate carefully to make sure it is Li'er.

Emperor Ming glanced at Defu, who looked shocked, and waved his hand: "Little Dezi, go call the queen and tell her that I have something to ask her."

Defu bowed and left: "Yes, Your Majesty, I obey your command."

After the eunuch left, the two of them started staring at each other again. The atmosphere was indescribably weird. Jiang Li was also looking at him, and when he met those wise eyes, his eyes were a little confused.

This man doesn't look like a hopeless tyrant, so why does he have to favor treacherous ministers? She doesn't believe that someone who has been an emperor for so many years would not be able to see anything. That would be too ridiculous.

Emperor Ming was also looking at her. If it weren't for that face, he really couldn't tell that she looked like his beloved daughter at all.

Perhaps because the atmosphere was too awkward, they both spoke at the same time: "You..."

Jiang Li was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice: "You are the elder, so you should speak first."

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Ming laughed: "Haha, although you have lost your memory, your irreverent demeanor has not changed. That's great. It's great that you can come back alive."

"I was the one who wronged you in the beginning. I sent you to marry the foreign prince and failed to protect you. As a result, you were almost killed by the barbarians. Now you have to come back in this way."

Seeing that he was not arrogant, Jiang Li relaxed a lot and shrugged: "Well, I also think it's good to be alive..."

Not long after, the queen stumbled in. When she saw that familiar little face, tears welled up in her eyes. She hugged the person in her arms and cried inconsolably.

"Li'er, your mother's Li'er is back, alive and well. I have been looking for you for so long. Where on earth have you been? You have caused me so much heartache that I cannot sleep every night."

Jiang Li heard her sobbing and was obviously at a loss. This... was different from what she thought. The emperor and empress should be very majestic, so how could they be so down-to-earth?

That's right, it's down-to-earth. In her opinion, this is impossible, so now her brain has stopped working and she is standing there stupidly being hugged by the queen.

After coming to his senses, he whispered, "Well, how about we get to know each other again? I don't remember you very well. My head was hit, and I don't remember anything about the past. I'm sorry."

When the queen heard this, her heart ached and she looked at Emperor Ming with more resentment: "Your Majesty, should we ask the imperial physician to treat Li'er? What if he gets sick again?"

Emperor Ming raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Empress, why don't you take Li'er to the side hall to check the birthmark and see if he was mistaken for someone else? What do you think?"

"Humph, how could I not recognize her when she was born from my belly? The first time I saw her, I knew she was Li'er. There is no doubt about this. Your Majesty, please stop saying such things. It makes people sad."

He turned his head and looked at her lovingly: "Li'er, go to mother's palace, let's have a good chat. How did you get in disguised as a man? It must be very strange."

Jiang Li pulled the corner of his mouth, a little embarrassed: "Well, fortunately, I am here to receive military merit. If I become a princess, will the reward for military merit still be given to me?"

The emperor and empress were both stunned, and they looked at each other, their lips twitching: "...There are rewards, your father will give them to you when the time comes. Hey, my Li'er must have suffered a lot, look at how thin he has become."

"I didn't suffer, I had meat to eat, it wasn't bitter."

She didn't lie. Life here was already heaven. She didn't have to work so hard to kill zombies, mutant plants and animals, and she could eat food. It wasn't unpalatable nutrient solution, but real food.

Happy, she already felt very happy.

The queen met those clear eyes and felt extremely sad. Tears streamed down her face. She wondered how much suffering her Li'er had to endure to be able to say so naturally that the meat was delicious. Woo, her heart ached.

Seeing that she was about to cry again, Jiang Li was a little helpless: "Well, Queen, can you please stop crying? I don't know how to comfort people. How about I treat you to a meal?"

"Call me mother, silly girl."

"Oh, mother, can you please stop crying? It makes people feel very sad."

The queen wiped her eyes, held her hand tightly, and walked towards her bedroom. Seeing this, Emperor Ming followed her. Alas, he still needed to discuss with the queen how to tell the outside world about Li'er's return.

I absolutely cannot tell the truth, otherwise Li'er will have stayed in the military camp for so long and his reputation will be ruined. I have to think of a better reason.

The groom who was escorting Jiang Li to the palace gate was stunned after hearing the young eunuch's words. The emperor actually wanted to keep Captain Wang. So he had better go back and report to the eldest master to see when he would come to pick him up.

General House

When Mo Jue saw that only the groom came back, he understood that the man's identity had probably been confirmed, and it was just a matter of waiting for His Majesty to summon him.

After Mo Yuan found out, he was silent for a long time, still unable to accept it: "Brother, how could this happen? The eldest princess actually disguised herself as a man to join the army. This is fine, but the key is her skills..."

"How on earth did she learn it? She just dropped her head, but she's like a completely different person. Everything about her is weird."

"Third brother, be careful with your words. The affairs of the royal family are full of truth and falsehood. It is impossible to distinguish them. As a subject, just be obedient. Pretend you don't know what you shouldn't know. Only in this way can you save your life."

Mo Jue didn't know what he was thinking about, and said with a hint of laughter: "The Prime Minister didn't go to the morning court these past two days. It was said that he was not feeling well. It's hard to get used to the days when no one came to the General's Mansion to impeach him."

Mo Yuan couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows when he heard this: "Brother, don't joke around. Let's check what happened to the Prime Minister. This is not in line with his personality. In the past, the General's Mansion returned to the capital."

"He was always jumping around, but now that he's quiet, it makes me feel uneasy. I wonder what he's planning."

"Well, we have already sent spies to investigate, and we will know soon. When my third brother returns to the capital this time, shouldn't he also take a look at the lady and get married as soon as possible?"
