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

At noon, the fire in the Nameless Palace was completely extinguished, and the already dilapidated houses were now in ruins. A few of the few houses collapsed, and the rest were charred by smoke.

The guards who came to put out the fire had all left, and only Wan Ning was sitting quietly in front of the hall, with Concubine Yi's body next to her. Her white dress was covered with black smoke, and her face was also blackened by the smoke. She lay quietly beside him as usual.

Wan Ning suppressed her emotions, silently shed tears, took out a handkerchief and towel to wipe off the stains on Concubine Yi's face bit by bit. Concubine Yi's face was already bloodless and pale, but no matter how hard Wan Ning tried, she still couldn't remove the soot on her clothes. Instead, the water expanded the black filth, and her collapse and powerlessness suddenly broke out.

Silent tears turned into helpless wails. Victory was clearly before their eyes, and they could all leave smoothly!

Now Wan Tao is still outside the palace, and Wan Ning has no way of knowing whether Concubine Ru and the others are out of danger. She also doesn't know if what she did is right. Maybe if she doesn't send them out, at least Concubine Yi won't die, and they can still live as usual? Now she is too self-blaming and helpless, forgetting that this is also Concubine Yi's wish, and she is also seeking death.

Recalling last night when Concubine Yi admitted in person that the crazy woman beside her was Concubine Lan, who was rumored to have died for many years, she did not intend to live in this world. Perhaps for a moment she really wanted to leave the palace with her sisters to live a new life, but when she saw the crazy Concubine Lan beside her, all her expectations became wishful thinking.

This is her fate that she cannot choose or escape, unless she dies. In that case, she is willing to sacrifice her life to help the sisters of the Nameless Palace to embrace a new life.

"Lan Fei? Didn't she die many years ago? How could she be here? Why is she like this..." When Wan Ning heard Lan Fei's name from Yi Fei last night, she had a lot of questions. But no matter what she asked, Yi Fei just kept silent and shook her head in pain, looking at Lan Fei who was ignorant of the world with pity.

"Princess, please stop asking. I can't say anything. Someone asked me to look after her. I can't let her have a good life, nor can I starve her to death. As for what happened, I really know nothing." Concubine Yi shook her head guiltily.

"Hmph, there was someone. Who else could it be except the retired emperor? If you don't tell me, I will go and ask him myself. Ask him why he wanted to deceive the people of the world like this, and why the late emperor's concubine became like this!" Wan Ning was furious. She shook off Concubine Yi's hand and went to pull the frightened Concubine Lan, wanting to take her to a safe place.

Concubine Lan was already mad because she hadn't seen anyone for a long time. When she saw someone trying to grab her, she struggled and screamed. Seeing this, Concubine Yi quickly stood up and stepped forward to hold her hand, which made Concubine Lan calm down. It seemed that Concubine Yi was the only person she trusted for so many years.

In this situation, Wan Ning didn't know what to do. She had to escort other concubines out of the palace tonight, so she couldn't waste time. Although she had no choice but to leave first, she said before leaving: "Business is more important, let's go, I'll escort you out of the palace first."

Concubine Yi froze in her tracks, hesitated for a while, and said to Wan Ning's back: "Princess Le Yan, I beg you for a favor."

Wan Ning turned around in surprise, only to see Concubine Yi's shy and awkward smile. The bitter corners of her mouth barely rose, and she said, "It is inconvenient for Concubine Lan to see people. Now that Wuming Palace has been destroyed, there will be no one to take care of us when we leave the palace. Could you trouble the princess... could you trouble the princess to take her to a safe place where no one knows? If other people find out, I'm afraid Concubine Lan will be in great danger. Okay?"

Wan Ning nodded and agreed: "Okay."

"Then Princess, please send Concubine Lan away first. I will go find the sisters of Wuming Palace and make them take the medicine. According to the rules, the people of Wuming Palace are buried in a mass grave after death. If anyone objects, Princess, just say it is the rule set by the late emperor."

"Yeah." Wan Ning nodded, but saw a wanton smile on Concubine Yi's face. She would never have to be so restrained and abide by the rules again in her life.

Concubine Yi approached Concubine Lan carefully, untied the chains that trapped her, and coaxed her softly: "Be good, Concubine Lan, let's play a game, okay? You go with this girl and hide. If you can avoid being discovered by others, I will take you out to get some fresh air, okay?"

After saying that, Concubine Yi took out a large black robe and covered Concubine Lan with it, then brought the thin and hunched Concubine in front of Wan Ning, covering her up tightly.

"Princess of service."

Time was urgent and there was no one around to help. Taking advantage of the night, Ning nervously held Lan Fei in her arms and hurriedly took her to Xiang Wanxuan and hid her. Everything was fine along the way. Maybe when Wan Ning was about to go to Wuming Palace again, Lan Fei started to make a fuss again, holding her crazily and refusing to let go.

In desperation, Wan Ning had to feed her a drug and then tied her up on the bed, and then covered her with a quilt before she could get out smoothly. When she arrived at Wuming Palace again, the fire had been completely extinguished, and the people who came to put out the fire had left, leaving only three people to clean up the mess. At this time, the emotions that were out of control occupied her entire brain, and she ran over, and the three people were struggling to carry something out.

When they got closer, they realized that the person they were carrying was Concubine Ru. Her eyes were closed and she was no longer breathing. Wan Ning hurried forward and asked, "Where are the others?"

The three were not happy to be left here to do this work. They didn't see clearly who the person was and pointed to one side unhappily, and replied: "Well, move aside and don't get in the way."

Wan Ning looked over immediately, but saw only two "corpses", the only one missing was Concubine Yi.

"No, no, there's one missing," Wan Ning asked.

The three men heard what was said and replied unhappily, "Yes, there was another one, he was crushed by the beam and died in a very ugly way. It's really troublesome that we have to deal with such a thing in the middle of the night."

Wan Ning glared at them and immediately went to check the conditions of the other three concubines. When she was about to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation according to the movements she remembered, someone suddenly grabbed her wrist from behind.

"They are already dead. Please accept the reality, Princess."

Wan Ning looked back miserably and saw Cui Yian appearing out of nowhere. He helped Wan Ning up, took out the silver he had prepared in advance from his pocket and handed it to the three people, saying, "I have treated them just now, but there is really no cure. I would like to trouble you, the three brothers, to bury them according to the rules, and do not disturb His Majesty's peace because of this matter."

One of them immediately let go of his hand and weighed the silver. The lifted Concubine Ru fell down. Satisfied with the weight of the silver, he smiled, then put the silver away and said, "If we bury her, we can only bury her in a mass grave."

"Thank you for your help."

"Okay, but the one inside has to be kept. Her identity is different and needs to be checked by someone above her."

Wan Ning recalled Concubine Yi's last smile and understood that she was saying goodbye. She understood that she had nowhere to go. Wan Ning walked into the room trembling all over and saw Concubine Yi's miserable state. She also understood that she was not faking her death.

After gathering her emotions with difficulty, Wan Ning turned around and walked out the door, saying painfully, "Thank you all, we will send them to the mass grave tonight for burial."

"go!"
