After traveling through time, I became the aunt of the loyal dog emperor
Chapter 3: Crossing in Progress
Still unable to open her eyes, Su Wan Ning realized that she was enveloped by a mysterious force like the wind. She seemed to have support but nowhere to rely on. She was lifted up in the air, and the only sound she could hear in the silence was Jiang Zhifan's rapid breathing.
Mr. Jiang seemed to be right beside her, but why was the hand that was holding his now empty? Even if she tried hard to grope and grab, her hands were still empty.
A familiar feeling of helplessness and panic spread in her heart, which in turn gave rise to a force for breakthrough. She shouted with all her strength:
"Jiang Zhifan——"
The sound waves were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples in time and space. The originally white and vast world turned into a pitch-black darkness in an instant, and all the sounds seemed to freeze at this moment, boring and silent.
Two blue butterflies slowly flew out of the darkness, with colorful beams of light dancing behind them, spiraling around each other. As the two butterflies fluttered, the two halos of light became more magnificent.
Before she could figure out the situation in front of her, the surrounding environment began to be swallowed up by the blue color bit by bit, until the whole world turned blue. Then the next second, a blue moon appeared in the sky, pouring down layers of gentle blue moonlight. In a blink of an eye, the moonlight poured down like a majestic waterfall, falling on her body and face layer by layer. The gathered moonlight had a weight that made it difficult for her to breathe, as if it was going to "drowned" her here.
Jiang Zhifan's breathing sounded again, but it had changed from rapid to unusually slow, as if he was sleeping somewhere.
Su Wanning's originally anxious heart calmed down because of this sound, but the next second the breathing sound was replaced by a roaring sound, and Su Wanning's breathing became more and more difficult. She gave up struggling and was on the verge of suffocation and lost consciousness. The strength that supported her before suddenly dissipated, and the whole person fell rapidly.
The whistling wind passed by her ears. Fear made her close her eyes and let herself be treated like a feather. She gradually felt the pain on her body. After a long time, the descent stopped completely. Su Wan Ning felt that she was supported by a huge object behind her. Unlike the nothingness before, this time it was a tangible column. She tried to touch it with her fingers. Seeing that there was no harm, she opened her eyes and saw that she was hanging on a big tree. The thick and strong branches just supported Wan Ning's back and let her land.
Su Wanning took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She carefully twisted her neck and observed the surrounding situation cautiously:
There were still a few pieces of light yellow cloth hanging on the branches above, and if you look closely you can see blood stains on them; she looked down again and saw that her original clothes had turned into a light yellow dress with tassels on the hem, and her thighs and arms were also cut by branches and bleeding. If it weren't for the excruciating pain in her wounds, she would have thought she was dreaming.
You can dream later. The most urgent thing is to sit up from the tree and figure out where you are.
She slowly stood up, holding onto the trunk, and changed from lying down to leaning against the trunk and riding on the branches. This position made it easier for her to see the surrounding scene: this was clearly a field, surrounded by low grass and thin branches, which formed a sharp contrast with the big tree on which she was hanging - it would probably take three or four people to hug the tree. The branches below her were full of blessing signs and ribbons, and if she raised her eyes and looked into the distance, she could vaguely see the houses lined up one after another.
Wan Ning rubbed her eyes and looked again in disbelief.
"In life, the most important thing is to adapt to circumstances."
Su Wan Ning quickly accepted the reality, so the most urgent thing became how to get down from the tree to the ground. She lived with her grandmother in her rural hometown since she was a child. She learned to climb trees with her cousins when she was four or five years old. If it were normal, getting down from this tree would not be a difficult task at all. But she was injured today, and she didn't know the situation at the bottom of the tree, so she didn't dare to go down rashly. While she was worrying, a child appeared vaguely under the tree. He didn't say anything, but just stared at Su Wan Ning curiously and looked at her carefully.
Children are children, it's better than no one at all. But she didn't want to be mistaken for a bad person and scare the child away, so she tried to ask the child in a low voice: "Hello, little boy, are your parents here?"
Seeing that the child didn't respond and just stared at her blankly, Su Wanning had no choice but to continue to force out a kind smile and asked even more forcefully: "Little friend, can you help me? I'm trapped here by accident, can you call your parents over?"
Before the pretentious words could be finished, the child turned around and ran away resolutely. The small figure quickly walked away, leaving Wan Ning perched on the tree in confusion, thinking that she really looked like a weird aunt.
"In life, it is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others."
Su Wan Ning was going to climb down by herself, but she lost her footing and fell off the tree in a panic. Fortunately, the tree was not very high and there was a thick pile of grass on the ground, so she escaped with no danger. However, the pain in her body doubled. She collapsed on the ground for a moment, unable to move or do anything rash. She simply lay on the grass in a "big" posture to repair herself.
"In life, you should stay where you fall."
So she lay on the ground admiring the sunlight shining through the branches, but as luck would have it, misfortune never comes alone. A prayer sign fell from the branch and hit her head squarely, then jumped and covered her face. Completely annoyed, Su Wanning continued to lie flat and picked up the sign from her face, then raised it in front of her in a gentle manner to carefully examine the "weapon" that "attacked" her.
But when she saw the words on it, she was instantly attracted by the powerful and vigorous handwriting. The words "reunion" were written on the prayer card. Wan Ning turned over the other side of the prayer card, and the words on this side looked much more childish. Although the word "peace" was written carefully, it was still scribbled.
"This word 'peace' has hit me in the face. I am afraid it will be hard for me not to have peace." Su Wanning couldn't help laughing at herself. In a trance, she found that there were other faint ink marks behind 'peace'. She took it in front of her and carefully identified the two words that seemed to be "stay together". The handwriting was equally childish.
"It's obvious that two people wrote this. This person is so greedy. Not only did he use someone else's prayer card, but he also made two wishes. He wants peace and to be together. He's so greedy." Su Wan Ning continued to laugh at herself, "So it was stolen peace. No wonder I'm not so safe. I'll send you back to the tree."
After that, Su Wan Ning supported herself on the tree trunk and slowly stood up, holding her waist with one hand and holding the prayer card with the other hand to throw it back to the tree. Before throwing it, she also explained to the tree: "Big tree god, big tree god, look carefully, there is a word 'Yan' in the lower right corner of this card. The one who stole your prayer card is this person. I am just an innocent passerby. We have our own culprits. If you have any problems, go to him, but don't make the mistake. Please, please, I will put it back now."
As soon as she threw the prayer board back onto the tree, she heard a noisy sound in the distance, and many people were rushing here eagerly. Soon they arrived here, and there were about thirty people, some dressed in simple peasant clothes, and some dressed as servants. The leader was a middle-aged man wearing a round hat, and his clothes were relatively exquisite and sophisticated. The child who had just hurried away was now standing next to the old man, panting heavily and looking up at the old man, while pointing at Su Wanning with his finger, as if complaining.
Then the old man shook off the little boy next to him, and quickly stepped forward to look at Su Wanning in front of him. The complicated look in his eyes made her confused, and she pretended to be a little nervous, supporting the tree trunk with her right hand, and quietly doing warm-up exercises with her feet, in case there was really danger later, so she could run away quickly.
Su Wanning was not willing to be outdone and looked at the people in front of her more obviously, even her eyes changed to a more ferocious one. She was determined to overwhelm the other party with momentum and tried to drive them away.
Some of the onlookers took out some white papers to compare with Wan Ning, and they were still talking to each other. The word "travel" appeared in her mind at this time. At this time, the old man who was leading the group suddenly knelt down excitedly and kowtowed. Seeing this, the others also knelt down one after another.
"Your Highness, I have finally found you. I am guilty. I am guilty! Now that you are back, Prince Qi can finally rest assured."
"You got the wrong person." Su Wan Ning waved her hand and turned to leave the place. But before she took two steps, she was surrounded by the servants around the old man. The old man took two steps at a time and walked to Su Wan Ning's side while bowing. He said very respectfully: "Princess, His Royal Highness Prince Qi has spent a lot of effort to find you. I really can't let you go. Please follow me back to Prince Qi's mansion!"
"You really have the wrong person. I'm not your eldest princess. Why don't you look for someone else?" Su Wanning didn't want to get into unknown trouble and refused again and again, but seeing how determined their tone was.
The old man naturally didn't want to give up easily, so he opened the portrait of the princess in his hand and handed it to her. The face in the portrait was almost exactly the same as hers. Su Wanning subconsciously touched her face and whispered, "Did I really travel through time?"
Before Su Wan Ning gave her answer, the old man had already noticed her softening attitude, so he suggested, "Princess, look at this portrait. Is it you? No matter whether it is you or not, why don't you go to Prince Qi's Mansion to verify it first? Besides, you are still injured, so you can go to Prince Qi's Mansion to find a doctor to heal your body. How about that?"
Wan Ning agreed that what the old man said made sense. She could go to Prince Qi's mansion to clarify the misunderstanding and change clothes to treat the wounds on her body. It would be even better if she could find out where this place was. Besides, for her now, there was nothing more painful in the world than going to work.
So, surrounded by the crowd, Su Wan Ning limped into the sedan. The old man just now kept sticking to the sedan, following closely for fear that the person in the sedan would disappear again.
"Uncle, uncle," Wan Ning lifted the curtain and greeted the old man, "Can I trouble you with something?"
The old man bowed with both hands and asked very respectfully: "Your Highness, I am sorry for embarrassing this old servant. Please tell me what you want, and I will do my best to do it."
"I have a companion who may be nearby. Please arrange for someone to help me look for him. He is a man in his twenties, handsome and beardless, tall and fair-skinned, and his behavior may be different from that of the locals. He was injured with me, and may have fallen somewhere else. Please make sure to look carefully. He is more seriously injured than me, and may be in a coma, so you must be very careful. Thank you for your help!"
The old man readily agreed and ordered people to look for it on the spot. At the same time, he assigned more servants to look after Wan Ning's sedan.
Wan Ning firmly believed that since both of them had half of the jade pendant and were together before the accident, it was very likely that they had traveled through time together. If she wanted to know what happened and why the two of them traveled through time, it would be best to find Jiang Zhifan and ask him clearly.
The sedan chair swayed and turned many times before finally entering the city. This city was strange. It was understandable that there were few people outside the city, but when she walked into the city, there was no one wandering around outside. It seemed like an empty city. The sedan chair finally stopped in front of a tall and imposing house. The old man lifted the curtain and helped her out.
The house was solemn and dignified, with a huge plaque hanging above the door that read: Prince Qi's Mansion. Two rows of servants and maids were already standing at the door, and there was a sedan chair without a top parked next to it. The old man helped Wan Ning get on the new sedan chair, which was softer and more comfortable than the previous one. All the pain in her body seemed to disappear when she sat on it.
"Uncle, why don't I see other people in this city?" Wan Ning couldn't help but ask the doubts in her heart.
"The people in the city behave rudely, and Princess, you have just been found. We were afraid of disturbing your rest, so we asked them to stay away." The old man answered with a smile on his face.
While marveling at his attentiveness, Wan Ning was also shocked by the large number of people in the city. The Qi Wang Mansion was able to mobilize so many people in such a short time, which showed the strength of Qi Wang. She did not dare to act rashly and pretend to be the princess. She wanted to clarify the misunderstanding as soon as possible to avoid being sentenced to death for pretending to be the princess.
"I'm really not a princess. Uncle, when can you find someone to verify it?" Wan Ning asked anxiously. In fact, this was also so that when someone questioned her pretending to be a princess in the future, she could use this to explain that she had denied it from the beginning, and no one should try to put the blame on her.
"Your Highness, don't rush this matter. Prince Qi went to Lincheng yesterday to welcome the Emperor, and he is not in the palace yet. You can go to your room to recuperate first, and let the doctor check your body. Is it okay to wait for Prince Qi to come back?"
Before Wan Ning could answer, the sedan chair was lifted up by the servants and carried into the palace under the old man's instructions. In Prince Qi's palace, there was a building every five steps and a pavilion every ten steps. It took half an hour for the sedan chair to stop in front of a courtyard. There were three maids waiting in front of the courtyard. They were all young and dressed in ordinary and simple clothes, but they were all lovely in their own way.
The oldest one saw the sedan chair stop, and calmly stepped forward to support Wan Ning, and introduced her very respectfully: "Princess, you are blessed. I am Zhu Ying, the maid newly arranged by Butler He to take care of you. The other two are Zhu Zi and Shui Yue. If you have anything, just call us."
Wan Ning nodded, and then asked, "Are you all new here?"
"I have been here longer, about a year, while they have only been here for a month. Steward He was worried that the previous maids were not taking good care of you, so he arranged for us to take care of you. Princess, please feel free to reprimand us if we are not doing a good job."
"I see. What about the other maids?"
Zhu Ying didn't expect Wan Ning to ask about the previous maid, so she blushed and hesitantly replied, "They have made new arrangements."
Without asking any more questions, the doctor in the mansion had already been waiting in the courtyard. With the help of the maid, Wan Ning finally lay down on the bed. After the doctor's diagnosis, she was fine except for the shock and flesh wounds. He prescribed some medicine to calm her nerves and remove scars, and told her to rest and not to walk around casually.
After dinner, Zhu Ying went to the kitchen to boil medicine for Wan Ning, while Shui Yue and Zhu Zi accompanied her to a private hot spring to wash up. Along the way, the two of them lowered their heads and said nothing, even when Wan Ning took the initiative to ask, they just nodded or shook their heads.
She got no useful information, which made her feel very uncomfortable, as if she was still in a dream.
Maybe when you wake up, the dream will end.
