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

Wan Ning and Wan Tao, perhaps the two of them had an indescribable fate.

Ever since they first met in Prince Qi's mansion that day, when Wan Tao saw that the girl in front of her had a face exactly like the lost Princess Le Yan, she had a premonition that there must be a story between the two of them, but at that time she was the emperor's person, sent by the emperor to monitor the "princess".

Wan Tao was chosen by the stage because of Princess Le Yan, but the princess had been missing for half a year. There was no news, and everyone thought she was in danger. Wan Tao also felt that this was how her life would be. Until one day, the Qi Palace sent a message at full speed, saying that the princess had been found in a forest.

The princess who disappeared suddenly appeared, and fell from the sky, so the emperor took Wan Tao to the Prince Qi's mansion to pick up Le Yan and bring her back to the palace. She was inexplicably nervous along the way, but she was still very much looking forward to meeting Princess Le Yan, as if she was going to meet her destiny.

The emperor knew from the beginning that Princess Le Yan was a fake, but he did not intend to expose her. He just wanted to play along. At this time, the Chu Kingdom needed a princess, and he didn't care who the princess was.

The retired emperor in the carriage was also a little nervous and uneasy. This would be the first time he and Prince Qi met in the 19 years since they left Nanye. He didn't say much along the way, often thinking and worrying. Wan Tao, who was standing by, saw it all. She had heard the maid in the palace talk about the fight between the retired emperor and Prince Qi for the throne:

One is the eldest son of the previous emperor, who was named the crown prince at a young age. However, due to his poor talent, he was always cautious and treading on thin ice. Despite this, he would make mistakes when doing things, or make some "stupid" suggestions, which were opposed by some people. Fortunately, he was assisted by two ministers and everything was fine.

The other is the youngest son, who is gifted and brilliant from birth. When Prince Qi was born, the emperor was already the crown prince, so it was natural for him to become the emperor. But when Prince Qi grew up, his opinions on things were often praised, and the policies he came up with effortlessly not only perfectly solved problems, but also truly benefited the people, so his prestige among the people became higher and higher.

The emperor must be very jealous of his younger brother. Nineteen years ago, he was already 41 years old and had been the crown prince for 21 years. Although he did not have high-level opinions and achievements, he thought that he was diligent and cautious every day and worked hard for the country. He had a lot of white hair in his early forties and wanted to do something for the country to improve the lives of the people who went abroad.

However, when the sun appeared, the faint starlight was no longer dazzling and gradually disappeared into the daylight. At the age of eighteen, he was already in his prime and his talent was effortless, which was something that people envied and hated, not to mention the slogans that gradually spread in the court to abolish the crown prince and establish Prince Qi.

Wan Tao never heard about the details of what happened later, but she only knew that the final outcome was that the young King Qi left Nanye and went to Beiqi to guard the border for the Chu State, and vowed not to return to Nanye for 19 years. The emperor successfully became the emperor, and continued to live a sincere and hardworking life. He not only abolished the burial system but also enacted a series of laws that benefited the people. With the dedicated assistance of the two ministers, the world was peaceful and the economy was prosperous. In the early days of his accession to the throne, he achieved a certain degree of stability until the death of the two ministers. The border war continued and the battlefield was lost, and he used marriage to exchange for a few years of peace.

The timing of Wan Tao and the Emperor's visit to Northern Qi was also so delicate: the war between the two countries had continued for several years, and the national strength of both sides had been almost exhausted in the war, and they were in urgent need of a chance to breathe. The Prince of Qi was about to return to Nanye, and the Emperor had also abdicated from the throne half a year ago and gave way to his son Ziheng. This was also an opportunity for the Emperor to meet again and resolve their past grievances by taking advantage of the opportunity of Princess Le Yan being found.

When they met again, Prince Qi went to greet him with great ceremony. Both of them tacitly talked only about the present and not the past, as if nothing had happened.

That was also the first time Wan Tao met Wan Ning. Wan Tao quietly waited behind the screen, waiting for the emperor's call. She tilted her head nervously and quietly paid attention to the outside, and saw a little girl leading a girl in a light yellow skirt walking in briskly. At a glance, she realized the real difference between the girl in front of her and Princess Le Yan: although they had the same face, she had the kind of vitality that Princess Le Yan did not have. Princess Le Yan was stagnant water while she was a volcano.

When Wan Tao heard the girl in front of her say that she didn't remember anything in the past, she was very thankful and even breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. She was also happy for the girl in front of her. She would never be the real Princess Le Yan, because she was happier than Princess Le Yan, and she hoped that she would always be so happy.

Seeing Wan Tao lost in thought while touching her veil, Wan Ning took the initiative to comfort her: "Don't worry, I'm not prone to scarring, and I'll be fine after using your medicine. It's just that my current health makes it inconvenient for me to go back to Xiang Wanxuan. It would be bad if someone knew the truth and used it to make a fuss, so I need to stay here for a few more days. Did Xiang Wanxuan explain?"

Wan Tao had been waiting for Wan Ning to question her about her relationship with the emperor, but she not only didn't ask, but kept talking about other things. It felt like a sword was hanging on her head with her hair, and she didn't know if it would fall or when it would fall. Finally, Wan Tao couldn't resist the torture and torment in her heart, and decided to take the initiative to make it clear and confess to Wan Ning.

"Princess, you should just ask me directly. The more you do this, the more painful it will be for me." Wan Tao suppressed her confused heart and forced her tone to be as calm and emotionless as possible.

"I was the one who told the Emperor about His Majesty's visit to Xiang Wanxuan. I also reported your every move. I am the Emperor's spy planted by your side!"

"I have been raised in the palace since I was a child without a father or a mother. If it weren't for that accident, my life would have been dull until I died of old age in the palace. After that accident, my dull life disappeared completely along with my face and voice." Wan Tao didn't dare to look at Wan Ning lying on the bed. She lowered her head and spoke to herself, "Originally, my face was ruined and I couldn't continue to work in the palace. If I left the palace, I would have nowhere else to go. It happened that the Prince Qi's Mansion sent a message saying that the princess had been found. The emperor knew that your Xiang Wanxuan was relatively remote and there were no maids to take care of it, so he took me to the Prince Qi's Mansion to be the princess's maid. The condition was..."

"The condition is to stay by my side and supervise me, and report to him from time to time." Wan Ning added very calmly, as if talking about someone else's business: "The emperor is suspicious and very afraid of Prince Qi. A princess who has been missing for many days is suddenly found and claims to have lost her memory. The emperor is naturally unwilling to rest assured. No wonder he wants someone to watch me. When the emperor was injured during the autumn hunt, I went directly to Prince Qi's mansion, which confirmed our relationship with him."

"Gradually, the emperor no longer believed my news, and he called me less and less often. I really didn't expect that he would do such a cruel thing this time." Wan Tao could no longer hold back her tears, and they flowed from her eyes one by one. Perhaps it was because the words buried in her heart were finally spoken, and she felt relieved as if a huge mountain pressing on her heart was lifted away.

"He only believes what he wants to believe." Wan Ning sat up with difficulty, put a hand on Wan Tao's shoulder to give her some support, and comforted her: "The past is written off. Even if you weren't here this time, I would still be beaten by him. But without you, I might have been beaten to death by him."

Wan Ning paused for a moment and begged, "At the critical moment, you still went to find Ziheng to save me. Now you have lost the support of the emperor. But don't worry, we will be one from now on. Wherever I am, there will be a place for you. Wan Tao, it's strange to say, but I felt very close to you when I first met you. I hope you don't keep anything in your heart. You can come to me if you have any problems. We can solve them together."

Wan Tao nodded thoughtfully, feeling warm in her heart, she didn't know what to say. At this moment, words became pale and weak, and any oath seemed casual.

Looking at her expression, Wan Ning knew in her heart: After today, even if Wan Tao still has secrets, she will never be her enemy again!
