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

Wan Ning couldn't believe it, so she grabbed Zi Jian's arm and asked loudly, "Qing Feng, are you Qing Feng?"

When Zi Jian heard Wan Ning calling his name, his doubts disappeared a little, and he said anxiously: "Xing He, it's really you!"

Wan Ning struggled to break free, but his hand was holding her tightly. She stepped back the moment she broke free and stumbled, losing her balance. At the critical moment, Ziheng suddenly appeared and supported her body from behind.

"I'm not Xinghe, you got the wrong person!"

"Impossible, Qingfeng has a problem with his eyes and can't recognize him, but I won't make a mistake." Doctor Hu stepped forward and stood beside Zijian to speak for him: "I saw you and Qingfeng living together in Lu Village with my own eyes, and I also heard you ask me about Qingfeng's whereabouts. Now that you have Gao Zhi, you want to abandon us Qingfeng, right?"

Wan Ning was speechless and yelled, "I'm not giving up, you know nothing, you're standing here like a know-it-all, pay me back when you have time."

When the topic of money was brought up, Doctor Hu immediately fell silent, pretended not to hear, and stepped aside.

At this time, Zi Jian smiled in relief, his grinning mouth full of bitterness. He said in a calm voice: "Princess, you are not her."

"What?" Wan Ning was still trying to explain it clearly, but she didn't expect Zi Jian to have already accepted the reality. She asked, "How did you know?"

"Xinghe would never talk like that. Although you two look alike, you are two different people after all." Zi Jian hung his hands, feeling powerless and in pain. The fear of gain and loss had tortured him beyond recognition.

"Wait, what do you mean?" Wan Ning asked back, but as long as she looked at his body that looked like rotten wood, any kind-hearted person would not have the heart to say anything more, so she asked gently and concernedly: "Zi Jian, are you okay?"

Suddenly he laughed helplessly, his body shaking uncontrollably. Wan Ning hesitated and did not reach out her hand. Wan Tao, who had been silent all this time, stepped forward and held Zi Jian's wrist, her fingers cold to the bone.

"Xinghe, where are you?" he murmured with his head down.

"You're not the only one looking for her." Wan Ning saw that he didn't seem to know Xing He's true identity, which was why he acted like that today. She continued, "I've been looking for her for more than half a year. I sent people to the Lu Village where you lived, and there were signs that it had been cleaned up."

"It was me. I went back several times, and almost every time it was the same as when I left, except for one time when it was slightly different." Zijian smiled bitterly, "It turned out to be my delusion, not that she came back."

"What is your relationship?" Even though she knew the answer, Wan Ning still wanted to hear the answer from Zijian's mouth.

"She's my wife."

"Wife?" Wan Ning looked her up and down. "But how can there be a husband who doesn't know his wife's true identity? Haven't you asked her? In other words, aren't you curious why Xinghe looks like me?"

In an instant, he was enlightened and Zijian's mind flashed back wildly. The answer was ready to come out, but he just didn't have the courage to face it.

Wan Ning didn't give him a chance and continued, "According to Doctor Hu, she once saved you, but you just didn't see her face because of your eye injury. She didn't leave earlier or later, but had to wait until your eyes were almost healed to leave. She must be avoiding you on purpose."

"Hidden from me?" Zijian recalled carefully. It's not that he didn't have doubts, but the day Xinghe left was no different. He really couldn't think of a reason why she was hiding from him: "Why is she hiding from me? Is she still alive?"

Wan Ning nodded: "It should be your identity, the adopted son of Prince Qi and the prince of the palace."

"But I never told Xinghe about my life experience!" Zijian suddenly recalled something and said, "Could it be that letter?"

"What letter?" Wan Ning asked.

Because Zi Jian had been late in returning to report due to his eye injury, King Qi sent people to look for him everywhere, and finally contacted the secret envoy through a token. The secret envoy handed him King Qi's secret order, and because it was a secret order, the secret envoy could not open it and did not know its contents. As for Zi Jian, he could not see it either. So he kept the letter and only let the secret envoy pass his own message to King Qi.

Now he remembered that Xinghe might have read the contents of the secret order.

But the things on the secret order had nothing to do with Xinghe. Even if she saw it, why would she leave without saying goodbye?

"What did the letter say?" Wan Ning suddenly asked seriously, "But do you still remember the mission that King Qi gave you?"

Zi Jian pursed his lips and defended his adoptive father: "It has nothing to do with Xinghe."

"Since it has nothing to do with Xinghe, could it be related to me?" Wan Ning asked. At this moment, she suddenly felt Ziheng behind her take a step forward and protect her vigilantly.

Zi Jian lowered his head and said nothing. The two secret orders from King Qi were extremely clear in his mind. Both were related to Princess Le Yan. One was to kill Princess Le Yan to silence her, and the other was to say that Princess Le Yan had disappeared, urging him to return home quickly.

King Qi's words were like an imperial decree to him. No matter what his adoptive father asked him to do, he would never ask the reason and would never refuse.

Even if he was asked to die immediately, he would only die far away so as not to offend his adoptive father.

Looking at Zijian's expression, Wan Ning believed her guess even more and asked, "Yes, it has something to do with me, right? Is he going to hurt me?"

Zi Jian's lips touched each other lightly, and he was interrupted by Wan Ning just as he was about to speak. She was not angry, but more distressed. She looked up and saw the tears in Zi Jian's eyes, and said, "You must be curious about why I know this? If you could go back to Prince Qi's Mansion earlier, maybe you could meet her. Or maybe when she lived in Prince Qi's Mansion, she also heard a lot about you from the servants in the mansion, just like Shuiyue, Zhuying and Zhuzi said to me, saying that you are approachable and suave."

"What do you mean?" Zijian's breathing became rapid, his eyes turned red, and his voice began to tremble.

"After all that, you should have guessed it. Xing He is not me. She is the real Princess Le Yan. She was invited by Prince Qi to come to Prince Qi's mansion for her 19th birthday. Unfortunately, you went on a mission and did not return. If I am not mistaken, Princess Le Yan disappeared after leaving Prince Qi's mansion. She must have been with you. Combined with Doctor Hu's testimony, she saved you."

Zijian suddenly lost all his strength and fell to his knees. He fell into great self-doubt, and the past fragments flashed back in his mind like a revolving lantern. It was like a mountain pressing down on his chest, making it impossible to move or exchange air.

Wan Tao said nothing, but just used all her strength to support him.

"Now you know that I'm not the real Princess Le Yan. I'm the one you've been looking for, Xing He." Wan Ning asked, "What exactly is in the secret order that Prince Qi gave you? Does Xing He know some incredible secret?"

"You shouldn't have saved me, you shouldn't have saved me, Xinghe."
