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

Too many things had happened recently, and Wan Ning mistakenly thought that she had prepared herself for everything and would be able to handle whatever happened next with ease. The oath had just been made, and it was no longer effective. She knelt in the same position as before, her mind blank.

She stared at the pool of blood on the ground, her heart beating violently, and her own heavy breathing was in her ears. Wan Ning raised her hands in front of her eyes in panic, and the blood on her hands flowed down her wrists into her sleeves. She immediately collapsed on the ground and wiped her hands on her clothes without caring about anything. She instinctively wanted to wipe the blood off her hands, but she smeared it all over her body.

The blood can be wiped clean, but what has happened cannot be undone.

At this time, a thrilling fight had already begun in Xiang Wanxuan's yard, and suddenly Wantao's scream was heard in the middle.

"Wantao?" Wan Ning suddenly came to her senses, muttering Wantao's name and whispering, "No, you can't be in trouble!" Then she rushed out of the door and saw Wantao walking towards her with difficulty in the crowd. The moment they looked at each other, they were relieved for a short time.

"Princess, are you okay?" Wan Tao finally reunited with Wan Ning. They held each other's hands tightly and observed the current situation: "Your Highness Prince Qi, why is he here?"

"It's a long story. Concubine Lan is still in his hands. We have to find a way to help him." Wan Ning's eyes were always on Prince Qi who was at a disadvantage. He was unable to bring any weapons with him when he entered the palace today, and now he had to protect Concubine Lan in his arms, so he could only keep backing away. Without any help, he could not fight four hands with two fists, and it was only a matter of time before he was captured.

If this continued, Concubine Lan, who had already lost too much blood in Prince Qi's arms, would be in danger. Wan Ning still had many questions in her mind that needed to be answered by Concubine Lan, and she could not watch her die. So Wan Ning came up with a plan, to go forward and disrupt the situation herself, at least to take Concubine Lan from Prince Qi's arms and treat her first.

"How dare you! Who dares to use a knife or a gun in the Princess' Xiang Wan Xuan? Aren't you afraid that I will report it to the Emperor and punish you severely?"

After these words came out, some people began to hesitate and looked at the leader. The leader sneered and shouted: "It is important to arrest the rebels and protect the princess's safety. Please forgive me! Listen, we must catch the rebellious criminal King Qi today no matter what. No one is allowed to back down!"

"Yes!", these people instantly regained their morale.

"Rebellion, what a big hat. Have you ever seen someone rebel without any soldiers and with bare hands?" Wan Ning deliberately delayed time and approached Prince Qi to check on Concubine Lan's condition. But she was distracted, blood was still flowing from her chest, and her clothes were almost soaked. I wonder if she remembered that she had a daughter and her friendship with Prince Qi many years ago when she was in a daze.

At that moment, Wan Ning was glad that she was not the real Princess Le Yan. If the real Le Yan had met her mother here, she would have to witness her life slowly slipping away, as if she had pulled out a person who only existed in her imagination and let her die again as an adult. This time, she wanted to watch her mother leave with her own eyes!

Wan Ning reached out to take Concubine Lan, but Prince Qi dodged her. It was the first time she saw him with such a resolute expression. He was not happy after losing and regaining her. He would never allow anyone to take her away from him again, even if it was his daughter!

"No need for that. If we have to die, let's die together. Just get out of the way." Prince Qi took off his outer shirt and tied Concubine Lan to himself, then prepared for a fight to the death.

At this time, the people on the other side sneered, and were proud of their determination to win. They madly labeled Wan Ning: "Everyone listen up, Prince Qi is rebelling, and Princess Le Yan is one of his gang. As soldiers of the Chu Kingdom, we must catch them. Go!"

"It's over, it's over. The dirty water is thrown on me." Wan Ning slowly retreated behind Prince Qi. If this continued, Prince Qi would definitely be outnumbered, and she was afraid that the emperor emeritus would not let her go.

Suddenly, the leader attacked in the direction of King Qi. King Qi reacted quickly and dodged immediately, and his body became less flexible. At the critical moment, a man in white suddenly came, holding a long sword to protect King Qi. His martial arts were so strong that no one could get close to him.

Seeing the helper coming, Wan Ning immediately retreated to Wan Tao's side to avoid being a drag. The white-clothed warrior reacted quickly and decisively, and repelled the group of attackers in a few moves. At the critical moment, he looked in the direction of Wan Ning, and Wan Ning immediately raised his hands in surrender to indicate that he and Wan Tao were innocent and were not in the same group as that group of people.

It was the kindness in his eyes that made Wan Ning suddenly feel that he looked familiar, so she leaned close to Wan Tao's ear and whispered, "Do you think he looks like Zi Jian?"

Wan Tao stood and looked back, silent and without answering.

Now is not the time to fight. Prince Qi freed his hands and hugged the unconscious Concubine Lan and left. Zijian called the person to take them away. In order to clear the suspicion of Xiang Wanxuan's people, Zijian suddenly stabbed Wan Ning with a sword when he was about to leave, but the sword leaned towards her arm when he approached. But he didn't expect that Wan Tao pulled Wan Ning away at the critical moment, and the sword flew straight towards Wan Tao's slender neck.

It was impossible to take it back completely and safely. Although he tried his best, he still cut off half of her veil and passed by her shoulder. The sharp sword left a wound on her shoulder.

Although he was reluctant, wanted to explain, and was worried, Zi Jian still left cleanly. He had prepared his horse outside the palace, so he jumped on the horse and chased in the direction where King Qi left.

After tonight, no matter whether Prince Qi's rebellion was a misunderstanding or not, they could no longer stay in Nanye City, so they rode at full speed to bring Prince Qi's confidants back to Beiqi overnight.

Xiang Wanxuan, who finally saw the emperor after such a big incident, was deeply saddened by the fact that his brothers and sisters had "rebelled". He ordered Wan Ning and Wan Tao to be confined to Xiang Wanxuan and sent heavy soldiers to guard it. No one was allowed to approach, and no one was allowed to leave. For a while, not even a fly could get in and out of Xiang Wanxuan.

Wan Ning completely cut off contact with the outside world. As one nameless palace collapsed, another new nameless palace was born, and was named "Xiang Wanxuan" by the retired emperor. She would spend the rest of her life alone in this tomb of the living dead day after day.

There was no news about Ziheng at all. Wan Ning had lost her fighting spirit and just sat quietly on the swing in the yard every day, from sunrise to sunset, sometimes not saying a word all day. Although Wan Tao was worried, she was powerless and could only watch her from afar or quietly accompany her.

A few days later, Wan Ning sat up from her bed in a daze. When she was making the bed, something fell from under her pillow. She looked down and saw the "butterfly jade pendant" that sealed her and Ziheng's love had fallen to the ground.

Wan Ning bent down to pick it up, gently stroking the pattern on it, and whispered with a smile in her eyes: "Where did you go some time ago? I couldn't find you. Now you popped up out of nowhere. Do you want to tell me something?"

A few minutes later, Wan Ning put it close to her pocket and opened the door to look for Wan Tao. She happened to be nearby, standing in the sun and looking at Wan Ning, and asked with concern, "Princess."

Wan Ning rarely smiled or showed signs of life in the past few days. She asked, "Is the Dragon Boat Festival coming soon?"

Wan Tao nodded: "Three more days."

"Sure enough, I remembered correctly. Go ask them for some cloth, mugwort, and needle and thread. The Dragon Boat Festival is coming, so let's make some sachets."

Although she didn't understand Wan Ning's intention, Wan Tao still did as she was told and got a whole large sack of dried mugwort that night.
