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

Walking around the panicked Concubine Yi, one could vaguely see the dim passage behind her, the flickering candlelight, and the sound of iron chains colliding.

Wan Ning ignored Concubine Yi's question and was about to walk directly towards the suspicious place, but was suddenly stopped by Concubine Yi, who grabbed her arm and seemed to be unable to speak.

"Princess……"

"Empress Yi, what do you want to say?"

"me……"

"The fire in Wuming Palace has not been completely contained. If Concubine Yi is okay, please go up quickly. We still need to hurry up tonight to send you all out. Let's follow the original plan, but the poisoning method can't be used anymore. Let's just take advantage of today's fire." Wan Ning grabbed Concubine Yi and wanted to take her away.

But before she took two steps, Concubine Yi suddenly broke free. When Wan Ning looked back at her, she knelt down without hesitation and begged, "Princess, I have something else to do, so I won't go with you. Please send them out of the palace smoothly. If you do, I will chant Buddhist scriptures for you every day in the palace and pray for your safety."

Wan Ning was shocked and turned to persuade her: "Empress Yi, this is your only chance to leave. Are you going to give up like this? Don't you want to start a new life with your sisters outside the palace? What else is there in this palace worth staying for?"

Concubine Yi shook her head. Although her face showed traces of time, she still looked beautiful. She seemed to have something to hide and refused, "Princess, you don't have to waste your time on me. I have been in the palace for many years and I have nowhere else to go."

"But my lady, the world is vast and there are other places."

Wan Ning wanted to say something else when the ghostly female voice appeared again. She was still wailing loudly, "Let me out, let me out!" This time Wan Ning heard it very clearly. The voice came from the passage behind Concubine Yi.

For a moment, Concubine Yi's face looked ugly and stiff. Wan Ning didn't waste any more words to get the truth from her, and then she took advantage of her unpreparedness to bypass her.

This was a small room. Because it was underground and there was no sunlight or ventilation, the air smelled damp and moldy. There was only a light in the corner, and it was very dark. In the other corner, there was a jar piled up in the dark. The jar was still moving, and if you listened carefully, you could hear a panting sound, and then a ball of mud was thrown at Wan Ning from the corner.

Concubine Yi hurriedly appeared and walked towards the "jar", hugged her to stop her, and advised: "Please stop making trouble, this girl is a good person, if you behave yourself, I will take you out, okay?"

Wan Ning picked up the candle next to her and walked forward slowly. She finally saw clearly that the "jar" was actually a woman curled up in the corner. She was dressed in black, with black and white hair tangled together. It looked like she had been washed for some time. She was very thin, and her abnormal legs might not be able to support her body. Looking at the expression on her face, she looked frightened, confused, and easily angered.

Encouraged by Concubine Yi, the man finally raised his head and looked at Wan Ning. He suddenly became angry and excited, got up from the floor and broke free from Concubine Yi and rushed towards Wan Ning. He waved his fingers like a beast with bared fangs and claws, and his resolute expression seemed to want to eat her alive. He murmured and shouted, "I'm going to kill you, get out, get out."

When she was about to touch Wan Ning, she was held back by the chains tied to her body and could not take another step forward. The ferocious figure waving his arms to tear Wan Ning to pieces suddenly pulled her back to the nightmare scene, and the same shrill screams made her headache and upset. Wan Ning, who had lost her patience, went crazy and pulled Concubine Yi's arm, pointing at this "madman" and asking, "Who is she! Who is she!"

People who don't get angry easily can be very scary once they get angry. Perhaps that contrast is also a weapon.

Concubine Yi was shocked by the contrast, and was afraid that she would really get angry and quit the game, so she trembled and whispered, "It's... a deposed concubine of Wuming Palace, she is mentally ill. Princess, time is tight, don't delay the important things, let's leave quickly."

How stupid would one be to believe such words? Wan Ning blocked Concubine Yi's direction and seized the loophole in her words: "Deposed Concubine? I have seen deposed concubines here, but I have never heard of such a person. Even if she is a deposed concubine, she has not violated the heavenly law, so why should she be locked up here? I am not a three-year-old child. Tonight I will send all of you out of this terrible place, including her!"

Seeing her resolute attitude, Concubine Yi knew that no matter how much she said, Wan Ning would not change her mind. She was caught in a dilemma and the window in her heart began to crack. She sat on the ground in despair.

"If you don't tell me, I will still find out by myself, but Concubine Yi, only by confessing your past can you be reborn." Wan Ning leaned over and promised, "I will still send you out of the city tonight."

"I want to stay here and ask the princess to send them away. I will also stay here to take care of her." Concubine Yi looked at the dirty lunatic and added, "If I'm not here, she won't be able to live out the rest of her life."

Wan Ning glanced at the madman and urged, "If you delay any longer, none of you will survive. Go to the underworld hand in hand! Take her with you and leave here!"

But Concubine Yi stood still, lowered her head and said, "No, no one can see her, absolutely not!"

"Why? What's wrong with seeing a deposed and insane concubine? No one knows her."

"She can't, she is Concubine Lan." In a hurry, Concubine Yi blurted out the identity of the crazy woman: "Concubine Lan is dead, she can't be seen by anyone, especially Prince Qi!"

When Wan Ning was so shocked that she couldn't believe the identity of the crazy woman in front of her, the crazy woman suddenly became panicked and excited when she heard "Prince Qi". She paced back and forth within the iron chain, making the chains collide and make noises. She said confidently: "Prince Qi is coming to pick me up, he is coming to pick me up! No, no, I haven't put on makeup for a long time and I can't let him see me like this."

As she spoke, she cast her eyes on Wan Ning, walked up to her with a grin, stroked her messy hair with both hands, and asked Wan Ning tentatively: "Miss, Prince Qi is coming to take me home, can you help me take a look at this dress?"

Wan Ning nodded, and the crazy woman looked down at her clothes again and asked, "So what do you think of my clothes? Are they okay? I've been here all day and have no time to make anything. But it doesn't matter. When Prince Qi comes back to pick me up, he will definitely bring me new clothes. He is always so thoughtful. Girl, do you think Prince Qi will be able to ask the emperor for marriage this time?"

In the shock of Concubine Lan still being alive, Wan Ning was reluctant to accept it. She carefully looked up and down at the appearance of this madman, trying to associate it with Concubine Lan's whereabouts. She actually saw some similarities, so Wan Ning stepped forward and asked tentatively: "It will definitely work. It was Prince Qi who asked me to pick you up."

His withered eyes sparkled, and he fluttered his wings and asked innocently, "Okay, what about King Qi?"

"He was called away by the emperor, so he asked me to pick you up. Do you still remember your name?" Wan Ning asked her.

She looked at him for a long time before she let down her guard and replied, "Pei Lan!"
