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

Ziheng understood the avoidance of suspicion in her words very well. Although he felt heartbroken, he also knew very well that he could not make any promises at the moment.

Only by clearing the obstacles between them and solving all the problems, can they have a chance. Rushing too fast would only hurt her, so even though it hurts in her heart, she won't explain anything, won't argue, and forces Wan Ning to believe him.

He smiled bitterly, returned to his original position, and continued Wan Ning's topic: "Prince Qi will personally lead the soldiers to guard the safety of the relief grain, Yanyan, you can rest assured."

"So it's Prince Qi. Of course, there's nothing to worry about. But didn't Prince Qi go to the imperial mausoleum to pay respects? Why is he here?"

"Uncle Wang went to the Imperial Mausoleum to sweep the grave of Grandpa Huang, and happened to be on his way back today. When Fang Xiong and I went to put out the fire, I sent someone to Prince Qi's Mansion to entrust this matter to him."

Wan Ning raised her thumbs up, waved it in the air and praised, "Thanks to Ziheng's thoughtful consideration, it will be safe for Prince Qi to lead the troops."

In recent days, Wan Ning's nerves have been in a state of high tension. She has to worry about too many things every day, so she has hardly had a good rest. Now that things have come to an end, she suddenly feels relieved and inexplicably relieved. So she fell into a deep sleep as the carriage swayed.

In recent days, Le Yan's nerves have been extremely tense. She has a lot of things to worry about every day and hardly gets any rest. Today, she is in the carriage with Ziheng, and things have improved. She fell asleep leaning against the carriage. Ziheng was also at ease and kept observing her until the carriage finally stopped near the warehouse. Wan Ning also woke up slowly as if she had set an alarm.

So he stretched himself without paying attention to anyone around, yawned, and asked, sleepily but relaxedly, "Where are we?"

The moment she saw Ziheng, her half-closed eyes widened and she instantly perked up, remembering that she was in the same car with him. So she quickly sat down and pretended that nothing had happened.

Ziheng suppressed his laughter and pretended that he hadn't seen anything. He introduced the place flatteringly: "We just arrived at the warehouse, and the carriage just stopped."

"That's good, that's good." She stood up and was about to go out, but Ziheng grabbed her sleeve. Wan Ning looked at him with a puzzled look on her face, and saw Ziheng pointed at the corner of her mouth. Seeing that she hadn't reacted yet, Ziheng simply helped her wipe away the saliva that flowed out from her sleep.

Wan Ning froze in place in embarrassment, not knowing how to answer for a moment. Ziheng wiped her hair and helped her out: "You've been too tired recently. You need to take a good rest after today, okay, Yanyan?"

"Okay, okay." Wan Ning agreed without thinking, and stood up and asked him to get off the carriage. She had just opened the door of the carriage and was about to jump off when she looked up and saw that the surroundings were full of people. Many soldiers stood in a circle with torches in their hands, surrounding a group of kneeling and tied black-clothed men in the middle. These people must be here to destroy the disaster relief food and grass today.

Moving her eyes to the side, she saw Prince Qi, wearing a thin plain dress and a black cape, standing in the middle with an unusually serious look. Wan Ning winked at her, and she smiled back; next to Prince Qi stood a handsome and heroic young man, with his hair all combed to the top of his head to form a neat bun, wearing a light blue outer robe. His handsome face looked familiar, and then she looked again, wasn't it Yan Ke?

Wan Ning rubbed her eyes in disbelief until she saw Zi Jian standing next to her. Yan Ke, dressed in men's clothing, looked even more heroic than Zi Jian and seemed to be in a good mood. No wonder Zi Jian came back with her today.

At this time, one of the palace maids who had been waiting beside the carriage opened the curtain first, and then another palace maid standing next to her carefully placed the step that she had been holding in her arms at the exit of the carriage. After everything was ready, she helped Wan Ning get off the carriage.

Although Yan Ke was wearing men's clothing, she couldn't stop smiling the moment she saw Wan Ning, and waved to her excitedly. If Zi Jian hadn't stopped her, she would have rushed over immediately. Wan Ning secretly gave her a look and raised her eyebrows to indicate that she looked very good today. Yan Ke also touched his hair in understanding.

"Your Majesty," he heard the neat voices around him, and he knew without thinking that Ziheng had also gotten off the carriage. Prince Qi greeted him very respectfully, and gave Ziheng the courtesy that an emperor should have in front of others. Ziheng also quickly helped Prince Qi up: "Uncle, please don't be polite. Thanks to your timely support of the troops, what happened tonight did not cause a disaster."

"Your Majesty, you are too polite. It is my duty-bound task to deal with disaster relief. I took Ke'er and Zijian to the imperial mausoleum to pay respects to the late emperor a few days ago, but I missed such an important event. I feel really ashamed." Under the light, regret and guilt were faintly visible on Prince Qi's face.

"Uncle, you are too kind. Collecting food is only the beginning of disaster relief. The subsequent disaster relief will still require the help of Prince Qi's Mansion." Ziheng glanced at the black-clothed man kneeling on the ground. Before he could say anything, Yan Ke rushed to report the situation: "Your Majesty, there are a total of ten black-clothed men who came here to steal the food and grass. They are all here. This time, thanks to Brother Zijian, the leader wanted to run away, but it was Brother Zijian who showed his skills at the critical moment that prevented him from escaping."

She was not willing to miss any opportunity to praise Zijian. When she was moved, she pointed at one of the men in black and spoke vividly. Seeing that the man in black actually raised his eyes and stared at her, Yan Ke pointed at the man in black and questioned: "Hey, you still dare to look at me? You were the fastest just now, but you couldn't escape from Brother Zijian's palm."

"Yan Ke, don't be rude," Prince Qi said to Yan Ke, then turned to the emperor and shook his head and sighed, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Ke'er was born and raised in Northern Qi. She is used to being free and undisciplined. She really neglected to discipline herself in terms of rules."

Ziheng waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, and ordered Fang Xiong to take the men in black away first, detain them separately and interrogate them carefully, and he must find out the people behind such unscrupulous acts that disregarded the lives and safety of the people of Chu State.

At the same time, Zijian felt a little embarrassed and pulled Yan Ke back to his side. Yan Ke turned around and stood next to Wan Ning, holding her arm and whispering about what he saw and heard in the imperial mausoleum. Although Yan Ke looked like a unique and romantic young man, as soon as she opened her mouth, she turned back into the arrogant and willful little princess. There was a different sense of contrast, and she still only wanted to protect her beloved brother Zijian.

Zijian stood beside them, quietly watching his sister and the princess share what they saw and heard, and even complain about what they did. Zijian just listened quietly, smiling from time to time without saying anything extra. The topic suddenly turned to Zijian, and Wan Ning asked: "Why did Zijian come back suddenly this time?"

Yan Ke said with some pride: "Hey, isn't it because there are too many good-for-nothings around father that he can't even investigate a case? This time father specially summoned me to meet my brother to investigate the assassination case in the hunting ground together."

Hearing about the assassination in the hunting ground, Wan Ning suddenly remembered that it had been a long time since the incident happened, and there had been no real progress. It seemed that those men in black were much smarter than today.

"Who was in charge of the investigation before?" Wan Ning asked curiously.

"Who else could it be? It's Yu..."

"Princess," Zi Jian didn't want Yan Ke to continue talking, so he took the initiative to change the subject and asked, "Why don't I see the other palace maids around you today?"

The two were very surprised. They didn't expect that someone who was usually as cold as an ice lump would actually take the initiative to mention other people.
