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

The dark secret room blurred the time. Wan Ning tried to count the number of water drops, but gave up several times because she fainted.

She waited in the darkness for a long time, and suddenly with a dull sound, the door of the secret room was opened again, and the emperor and the burly man with a face full of flesh from yesterday appeared.

"Have you figured it out today?" The emperor went straight to the point.

"I figured it out. Princess Le Yan's disappearance is related to you." Wan Ning stopped talking and secretly observed his reaction. However, the emperor's face did not change at all, and he still maintained an indifferent expression, but nodded to signal her to continue.

"Otherwise, how could you know that I was a fake before we even met? I guess you must know the whereabouts of the real princess?" Wan Ning added.

"You finally learned to use your brain overnight. Can you be smarter and tell me who sent you here?" The emperor took out the tea beside him and took a sip without even raising his eyes.

"Then come here, and I'll tell you who it is." Wan Ning's lips were cracked due to lack of water, and a faint blood oozed out once she spoke loudly. "It's too far, and talking is too tiring."

The emperor stood up anxiously, walked quickly to Wan Ning and signaled her to speak quickly.

Seeing him like this, Wan Ning burst into laughter, her tone full of sarcasm: "Seeing how anxious you are, his existence must be very painful for you. You ascended the throne to become the emperor, but you are inferior to your brother in every way. You forced your brother to flee to the border for many years, but you are still inferior to him in everything. Humph - I didn't expect that after 19 years, you are already old and frail, and your brother is still loved by the people of the city when he returns. You must be very painful! Even if you become the high and mighty emperor, you still want to use such despicable means to personally interrogate him, trying to throw dirty water on your brother. Ridiculous, really ridiculous!"

The emperor suddenly laughed strangely, and in anger he grabbed Wan Ning's neck, shouting, "You are talking nonsense! It was Prince Qi who assassinated the princess, it was Prince Qi who started the war, it was Prince Qi who wanted to assassinate the emperor, it was Prince Qi who did everything!"

Wan Ning was pinched by the retired emperor, unable to make a sound, and her face flushed. But Wan Ning looked at him provocatively with a smile in her eyes, because at that moment she knew that her guess was correct: the retired emperor was only superficially harmonious with Prince Qi. Although the retired emperor won the original battle for the throne, Prince Qi easily won the hearts of the people. Although he was driven to guard the border, his love never stopped. Unexpectedly, after 19 years, Prince Qi was still so loved when he returned to Nanye. Even Princess Le Yan, who grew up in the palace, had a better relationship with Prince Qi. How could he not hate him!

Le Yan's face began to turn blue, and the emperor suddenly came to his senses and let go of his hand. The air rushed in and Wan Ning started to cough violently. Her whole body was in pain and she couldn't tell where it hurt more for a while.

After Wan Ning recovered some of her strength, she saw the opportunity to sincerely express her attitude to the emperor, hoping to get his mercy: "I am indeed not Prince Qi's person. I just happened to look like Princess Le Yan, so he mistook me for the real Princess Le Yan and brought me back to the palace by mistake. I am just myself, and now I can be yours."

The emperor may be too old, and his excitement just now has caused him to be a little exhausted. He slumped in the chair and looked at Wan Ning. Seeing that he did not stop himself, Wan Ning continued to sincerely present the facts and reason: "Whether I am the real Princess Le Yan or not, now everyone in the city knows about the existence of Princess Le Yan, and I can't leave before the princess is found. Besides, I have a good relationship with Prince Mu Xiu of Tumo. If they use my death to start a war, it will ruin the overall situation. But if you give me a way out, we can also cooperate. I will continue to be my Princess Le Yan and keep my mouth shut. Even if you need me, I will definitely stand up."

She finally asked tentatively, "Is this okay?"

She didn't really want to join the retired emperor's camp, and of course she didn't want to choose the Qi Wang camp. Wan Ning just wanted to get out of this struggle and return to her own era alive. This was her only chance to save herself. There was one thing she couldn't figure out: since the retired emperor had long regarded himself as Qi Wang's undercover, why couldn't he pretend now? Wouldn't this alert the enemy?

The emperor was still slumped in his chair without saying a word, but the burly man next to him couldn't help but walk up to him excitedly and fiercely opened the subway chain on Wan Ning's hand. He pulled her clothes and dragged her into the pool next to him. Wan Ning didn't react for a while and was instantly surrounded by cold water, choking and coughing violently.

"Don't try to be so flattering here. You should soak in cold water to sober up." He waded into the water, picked up the soaking wet Wan Ning, dragged her to the wooden stake in the middle of the pool and tied her up. The water was just up to her waist. The cold water made her tremble constantly. Her legs were about to lose feeling. Her teeth were shaking uncontrollably. She was so confused that she couldn't say a word.

She was about to give up and leave everything to fate.

"Bam—"

There was another loud noise, and the door of the darkroom suddenly opened, and the light from outside rushed in. Before losing all consciousness, Wan Ning saw a tall and thin figure walking in from the door. Although she couldn't see the face clearly, she felt familiar.

The bald man who was standing next to her fled away from Wan Ning with panic in his eyes. She had just stepped a few steps on the shore when she was kicked into the pool by the man. The splashing water fell on Wan Ning's face. The next second, the man actually walked directly into the pool and came to Wan Ning's side. He gently parted her hair and looked at her pale face. He called her very carefully and gently: "Yan Yan, wake up."

Tears immediately fell from her eyes. She no longer needed to pretend to be calm, as she knew she was saved. Her consciousness began to blur again, and before she completely fainted, she heard a serious, restrained, and very angry voice: "Open!" Then all the chains that bound her were opened. Because she had lost her support, Wan Ning had no strength to stand up and fell straight forward.

Ziheng gently held Wan Ning in his arms, looking at her wounds with distressed eyes. Wan Ning also leaned all her weight on him. Ziheng picked her up, and although he was extremely careful, he still touched her wound, causing her to hiss in pain and subconsciously let out a hissing sound.

Heartbroken, Ziheng's voice became trembling. He pretended to be calm and comforted her in her ear: "Yanyan, it's okay, it's okay, I'll take you out right away."

Tears could no longer be stopped from pouring out of Wan Ning's eyes, staining Ziheng's arms, clothes, and heart along with the blood. Wan Ning used up her last bit of strength to respond: "Ziheng, you...finally...came to save me."

The torturer knelt on the shore in fear, kowtowed uncontrollably. Ziheng did not even look at him, and said angrily: "The punishment she suffered today will be repeated tenfold or a hundredfold on you. You'd better pray that the princess is fine, otherwise, your whole family will have to suffer a thousandfold!"

Ziheng couldn't bear to see Le Yan so weak, and he held her in his arms without even looking at the emperor who was slumped in the chair. But when he was about to leave, he was stopped by him: "Ziheng, do you really have to confront me? You know the consequences. She is doing this to make you feel distressed. You have fallen into the trap of Prince Qi. I heard that you often go to Xiang Wanxuan to find her recently. Don't forget her current identity. This is all Prince Qi's plan. He wants you to be accused of being unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unjust!"

Hearing this, Wan Ning smiled with satisfaction, and the last question was solved: it turned out that the reason why the Supreme Emperor was so impatient was because the Emperor had been too close to her recently, and there was a gap between them, so he was anxious to find her to confront her.

"I know my limits." Ziheng walked a long way away, turned his back to the emperor and answered firmly, then stepped out of the secret room.

Wan Ning, knowing that she was safe at this moment, no longer had the heart to think about the undercover agent around her. She lay peacefully in Ziheng's arms and fell asleep, allowing him to take her somewhere else. This feeling seemed to have lasted for a century.
