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

Instead of continuing to sit and wait for death, it is better to take the initiative.

As soon as the bandages on her wounds were changed, Wan Ning asked Wan Tao to report to Wan Xuan that she was safe, so as not to worry the other sisters. When Wan Tao's footsteps gradually faded away and she was the only one left in the room, all her emotions instantly burst out like a flood. Unable to restrain herself, she tightly grasped the corner of the quilt, and although she felt insecure, she raised her head to prevent tears from falling.

"I won't cry. If my grandma sees me in heaven, she will definitely laugh at me." Wan Ning choked up a little. In the past, whenever she encountered sad things, she would buy a ticket to go back to see her grandma. As long as she returned home, it seemed that all the problems were no longer problems.

But now her grandma is gone. She has traveled to this strange dynasty and unfamiliar place, and no one can give her such warmth anymore.

It was not until the familiar footsteps came closer and closer outside the room that Wan Ning, who was sitting beside the bed in a daze, realized that Ziheng had come. An idea instantly formed in her mind: show weakness! Ziheng was the only thigh she could hold on to in Chu Country. She had to deal with him first, and then move forward step by step.

So Wan Ning stopped suppressing her sadness and began to sob slowly, but emotions were uncontrollable. She turned sideways, hugged her arms and curled up in a corner of the bed. The tears just flowed out the next second after being wiped away. At this moment, she was like a small boat sailing in the ocean that was about to be overturned by the wind and rain, and she simply let the tears flow out of her body with the suppression.

Ziheng, who was standing outside the door, noticed something strange in the room as soon as he walked to the door. He lowered his head and listened quietly to the faint crying, and now he regretted even more that he could not protect her. He stood quietly at the door for a long time before he pushed the door open.

When Wan Ning heard the noise, she quickly pulled the quilt over herself, completely immersed in this dark, short-lived, slightly warm "safe space" and adjusted her emotions.

But looking at the quilt that was rising and falling because of her sobs, how could Ziheng not understand how helpless she was at this moment? He walked gently to the bedside and sat down, not daring to make any sound, and sat quietly with her. He wanted her to know that there was someone by her side in this world.

At this point, she knew that her strategy of showing weakness, pretending to be pitiful and strong had worked.

"Emperor, since you are so unkind, don't blame me for taking your son away!"

Back to Ziheng, he was very clear about the consequences of his rash rescue of Wan Ning, which meant that the difficult and stable balance and tacit understanding between him and the emperor was broken. Although he was the only son of the emperor, the emperor did not love his children. He only loved himself and the throne. This time, giving up the throne to Ziheng was just a delaying tactic to deal with Prince Qi.

In the throne battle nineteen years ago, although the emperor won the final victory and "expelled" Prince Qi from the border, for more than ten years, whenever he thought that Prince Qi would return to Nanye, he would be very anxious and afraid. This matter was like a needle piercing his flesh and breaking inside, making him uncomfortable from time to time.

Especially as time went by, the day of Prince Qi's return was getting closer and closer, and the emperor was tortured by the nightmare of Prince Qi's seizure of power every day. He didn't want to lose, and even if he lost, he didn't want the throne to be taken away from him. So he came up with a plan: give the throne to the prince before Prince Qi returned, so that even if Prince Qi still had the support of his old ministers after returning to Beijing, the emperor would have changed. If he brought up the dispute over the throne again, it would become unreasonable. If Prince Qi blamed others, he could only blame the changing times.

So the emperor summoned Ziheng back from the palace and gave him the throne, but he still held the military power and the final decision-making power tightly in his hands. On the surface, he was a carefree old man who no longer cared about any court affairs and was devoted to praying for the country. In fact, he hid behind the scenes and manipulated everything. Everyone could be his chess piece, and the chess piece could be his sister, his wife, or his only child. He didn't care who it was.

Ziheng has always known the cruelty behind such a simple truth, but he can't change the situation in a hurry. For a long time, Ziheng has been cooperating with the performance of the emperor. He tried his best to behave like a good chess piece, without ambition and greed for pleasure. Moreover, because he was injured on the battlefield many years ago, he has no interest in war and military power, and obeys the words of the emperor. All memorials are replied by Ziheng on the surface, but in fact, each one has the will of the emperor.

He deliberately provoked Princess Le Yan, making everyone think that he was ridiculous, a hopeless person, and a small character who was not to be feared. Until the retired emperor completely let down his guard, he took back the power and dignity that belonged to the emperor from the retired emperor step by step in secret.

The emperor didn't take it seriously at first, but gradually he realized that something was wrong with Ziheng, and he no longer listened to him. He also started to do things that he thought were dangerous, and he became more and more concerned about Xiang Wanxuan. If she was a real princess, it would be fine, but the emperor thought she was an undercover agent planted by Prince Qi to sabotage his plan.

Especially when he knew that Ziheng had been having private dealings with the fake Le Yan recently, this feeling of anger and loss of control reached its peak. Regardless of whether this Le Yan was real or fake, in the eyes of outsiders, she was the eldest princess and Ziheng's aunt. If there was a scandal about her, it would be a great rebellion. The Qi Wang Party might want to make a big fuss about this. If they could make Ziheng's emperor lose his reputation, they could naturally take action against him in the name of "clearing the court", but by then it would be too late.

This is something the Emperor would never allow, and that's why he couldn't wait to take action against "Le Yan" this time. He wanted to get confirmation from Wan Ning that all this was Prince Qi's conspiracy, and that he was the first to commit treason. If he could teach Wan Ning a lesson and make her a "double agent", that would be perfect.

But he miscalculated everything. He didn't expect Ziheng to dare to go against him this time.

But Ziheng doesn't plan to just go on like this this time. All his plans must be advanced.

During the few days she stayed in the side room of Ziheng's palace, Wan Ning had a good rest, not interacting with the outside world at all, and not caring about the news outside. Her body recovered quickly, but such relaxation should not last too long, as there were still many things waiting for her to do outside, so she decided to say goodbye this morning and return to her own Xiangwanxuan.

Although he was busy these days, Ziheng would come to eat with them every morning. They always chatted about random things while eating, bored but happy. But this morning, when Wan Ning was about to say goodbye, Ziheng was late.
