After traveling through time, I became the aunt of the loyal dog emperor

Zhu Ying lost her temper at her sister's abnormal behavior, unusual enthusiasm, and the way she held her tightly against her. She turned to other people who were watching the fun for help.

"What happened to her today?"

"Hehe," Shuiyue laughed out loud, "Zhu Zi suddenly discovered today that her sister is very powerful, and she sincerely admires you."

Zhu Ying was even more confused by this explanation. Wan Ning put the hairpin in her dressing box, stood up and said jokingly, "Let's go quickly, so as not to delay their sisterly love. Shuiyue, go and see if the pear trees in the pavilion in the front yard have bloomed, and cut off a few branches to decorate the bare windowsill. Wantao, go and take the food box."

"Yes."

Wan Tao passed by and took the food box from Zhu Zi, and they left together, leaving Zhu Zi alone in the room waiting for her sister's "education".

Wan Ning originally planned to take Wan Tao to Wuming Palace, but halfway through the journey, she felt something was not right, maybe now was not a good time. So Wan Ning found an errand for her to leave, and she went to Wuming Palace alone with the food box.

It was quiet around Wuming Palace. Wan Ning was about to knock on the door but found that it was ajar. This was a bit unusual. The previous times she came, the palace door was locked from the inside, and the ladies were playing games and laughing inside. But today, it was quiet everywhere, and even the main door was ajar.

"Oh no," Wan Ning had a bad feeling in her heart, "I hope someone has already noticed them, otherwise it will be even more difficult for them to leave the palace."

Wan Ning stood at the door and looked around. Her anxious heart made her movements even more violent. She simply pushed the door open and walked in. After not coming here for a few days, the spring breeze had blown the grass color around her, which was a big change. After walking a short distance, the vegetable garden of the "little farmer" Qin Fei appeared in front of her. It was no longer barren in winter and had grown fresh sprouts. This was the seed that Qin Fei specially used from last year's vegetables. Although it could sprout, the germination rate was not high.

The grass looks green from a distance but is not there when you get close. It's probably like this.

The ground in the vegetable garden was wet, and it looked like it had just been watered. The few people couldn't have walked far in such a short time. Wan Ning picked up the lunch box and continued to walk inside. Soon she came to the narrow and dark corridor. She had been here several times before, and she didn't know why she would feel uneasy every time she approached this corridor. The first few times she had someone to chat with her, and it passed quickly, and she didn't think about it anymore afterwards.

But today was different. She was alone and couldn't help but carefully observe the corridor. Even though the sun was shining outside, it was still dark and dim with a bit of cold and damp air. What kind of builder would design such a corridor? The towering pillars on both sides blocked all the light, and the arched ceiling above was even more oppressive.

Wan Ning raised her head and blinked, vaguely feeling that the top looked very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere. Suddenly, she remembered the day when her grandmother was buried, when she held her grandmother's coffin and cried bitterly, especially when the time chosen by the old man to close the coffin was approaching. Wan Ning fell to the ground, and when she turned over, the coffin lid passed over her, and the large and heavy shadow blocked all her sight. That feeling was just like now, the oppressive feeling seemed to trap her here forever.

"This... this is... a coffin? How could something like this appear here?"

Wan Ning couldn't breathe. She supported herself on the pillar beside her with one hand and held the food box tightly with the other. She mustered up the courage to look from a new perspective. The dim corridor seemed to have no end. There were small stone statues of animals on both sides of the road. The spring breeze would become cold when passing through here. Once you start to associate it with a tomb, this corridor is more like a combination of the sacred road in front of the tomb and the tomb road.

She closed her eyes in fear and shock, and then there was a whistling sound in the wind, accompanied by sharp and piercing screams. Listening carefully, it sounded like a desperate woman's shrill voice, mixed with sobs and curses, and occasionally a few weird laughs, which was extremely desolate.

"Where have I heard this voice before?" Wan Ning suddenly opened her eyes. "It was that dream! That's right, it was the place I dreamed of before I traveled through time. So this voice must have come from the trapped woman."

After reacting, Wan Ning no longer cared about being afraid and followed the sound to find its source. Walking through this long corridor, the sound lost its direction and seemed to come from all directions, like countless arrows piercing her body at the same time, and like countless threads wrapping her up layer by layer, tightly wrapped inside.

Wan Ning felt that she had no other choice, so she stumbled out of the encirclement and staggered to a locked house in the abandoned backyard. At this moment, all the sounds stopped abruptly, and the world returned to the tranquility of spring. The bright sunshine shone through the forest, so dazzling that Wan Ning could not open her eyes, and she was confused as to whether everything that had just happened was just a delusion.

She turned back to look at the shabby door and the new lock on it, thinking: Since I'm here, I might as well take a look! She picked up a brick from the ground, aimed at the lock, raised her hands high and smashed it hard.

"Princess, Princess Le Yan, why are you here?"

Wan Ning threw the brick aside and turned around to see Concubine Yi walking towards her. She said as she walked, "This place has been abandoned for many years and no one has taken care of it. There may be poisonous insects and snakes. Princess, come here quickly."

Wan Ning put on an innocent expression, raised the food box in her hand, and explained her purpose: "Well, I brought Concubine Ru's hometown snacks today, thinking of sneaking in to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect to get lost here. I was in a trance and walked here. Concubine Yi, what is this locked room for?"

At this time, Concubine Yi had come to Wan Ning's side. She also looked up and down at the room, pretending to be surprised: "Oh, I'm not sure. This room was here when I moved in, and Nanny specifically told us not to get close. Before us, five monks lived here to pray for the Chu Kingdom. Maybe it's their formation, or something they left behind. Princess, come with me to the front yard. We can't touch the monks' things."

The things of the monks cannot be touched, this is the consensus of the Chu Kingdom. Although Wan Ning was unwilling, she didn't know whether Concubine Yi had concealed something in this matter, and she didn't intend to alert the enemy, so she followed her and left. Before leaving, she looked back at this room frequently, as if there was a voice calling her.

"Princess, you came at an unfortunate time. The weather is nice today, so I forced them to go to a nearby place to bask in the sun. I was feeling unwell all of a sudden, so I thought of coming back early, and I happened to see you, Princess." Concubine Yi took Wan Ning and walked her to the front yard: "Princess, please sit down. Concubine Ru will be very happy if she sees you. She hasn't had this snack from her hometown for many years and she misses it terribly."

"What do you miss so much?" This was heard by Concubine Ru who just came in: "Does Concubine Yi have anything good?"

"Sister, did you come back alone for this good thing?" Qin Fei said

"Why are you all back?" Concubine Yi smiled and looked at the three people who came in, and said, "But the sunlight outside is not good?"

Concubine Ru waved her hand: "Okay, okay, it's just that the sunshine in Wuming Palace is also good, and without my sister, I always feel like something is missing. It would be great if we sisters could live here forever and be together forever."

Although Concubine Ru seemed careless, she was actually the most thoughtful. She knew that Concubine Xia's departure would definitely make Concubine Yi feel lonely, so she often said some heartwarming words and teased her on purpose, trying to make up for Concubine Xia's position. Fortunately, these words were also very useful to Concubine Yi, and she was very happy every time.

Concubine Yi smiled and said, "You are the sweetest person. The princess brought some snacks here today. Would you like to try some?"

As the food box was opened, the air above Wuming Palace was filled with the sound of Concubine Ru shouting with joy:

"Sakura-flower-cake-"
