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

"The princess has locked herself in her room for a whole day. If she continues like this without eating or drinking, something might go wrong!"

Xiang Wanxuan's sisters were talking at once. They wanted to rush in but were afraid to disturb the princess' important business. Now they were standing at the door of the room in a dilemma.

"Yes, could it be that he has been wronged?"

"No, I heard from Prince Mu Xiu that the princess was quite normal when she came back, and she didn't look like she had been wronged."

"Are you feeling unwell after getting caught in the rain?" Zhu Zi was very worried and urged Shuiyue beside her: "Shuiyue, listen again, listen carefully, is there any movement inside?"

Shuiyue carefully put her head close to Wan Ning's door, and put her ear to the crack of the door, afraid of making any noise and worried that she couldn't hear clearly what was going on inside. She also took the time to say to Zhu Zi beside her, "I'm listening!"

Zhu Zi immediately quieted down and stared at Shuiyue nervously, only to see Shuiyue straighten up, look embarrassed and uncertain as she moved closer to listen.

"Come on, what did you hear?"

"Well, uh, I did hear something."

"Tell me what you heard! I'm so anxious." Staring at Shuiyue's reluctance to speak, Zhu Zi anxiously pulled Shuiyue away and pressed herself against him, muttering, "Forget it, forget it, I'll just listen to it myself."

The sound inside was beyond Zhu Zi's expectation. As the sound became clearer, her eyes gradually widened. At this time, Wan Tao, who came to bring food to the princess, suddenly spoke from behind: "What are you two doing here?"

Shuiyue stood up straight immediately, and did not forget to pull Zhuzi up, lowered her head and replied with a guilty look: "No, nothing."

"Sister Wantao, we are not here to disturb the princess. We are just worried that something might have happened to her, so we came to take a look. Now look, the princess is fine, just a little sleepy." Zhu Zi was straightforward and directly stated the purpose of the two.

"Are you sleepy?" Wan Tao repeated the answer with some doubt.

"Yes," Zhu Zi immediately gently pulled Wan Tao's sleeve, pointed to the gap in the room, and said frankly: "Sister Wan Tao, come and listen too, the princess is snoring like thunder in there!"

As they were talking, Wan Ning in the room had already woken up. She was lying on the bed with aches all over her body. The quilt was pulled over her and covered her in a crooked way. Her head was about to explode. She tried to recall when she fell asleep, but she couldn't remember. So she forced herself to get up from the bed, staggered to the door and opened it for them.

With one hand holding the door open and the body leaning against the wall for support, Wan Ning half-closed her eyes and said, "Didn't I tell anyone not to disturb us? Why are you all here?"

Shuiyue and Zhuzi lowered their heads guiltily, not daring to look into her eyes, and murmured in reply: "Princess, you have been in the room for the whole day. We were so worried that we came here. We felt much more relieved when we heard your snoring just now."

The two of them laughed foolishly after they finished talking, but Wan Tao glared at them and they dared not say anything more. Then she drove them out. "The princess has woken up. You should go to the front hall and get ready."

Shuiyue and Zhuzi seemed to have found a savior. They said goodbye, held hands and left in a hurry.

"They are still young, so it's inevitable that they will say things that go wrong. I'll ask Zhu Ying to give them some more instructions and education later. You don't have to be angry, Wan Tao." Wan Ning tried to smooth things over, suppressing her headache. "What's that in your hand? It smells good."

Wan Tao handed the lunch box to the princess and shook it to make sure she could see it. Then she slowly said, "This is the tonic that the emperor just sent to prevent colds. Princess, how are you feeling?"

Wan Ning rubbed her head in boredom, turned around and called Wan Tao in, muttering in confusion: "My head does hurt a little, and my nose is a little stuffy. Hey, how did you know I was unwell?"

Wan Tao quickly put the lunch box on the table and helped the princess sit down. She then opened the lunch box, took out the steaming medicine, and handed it to Wan Ning: "Princess, drink it while it's hot! You came back from the rain yesterday without telling me. I'm afraid it's easy to catch a cold in this weather. It was not until today that the emperor sent someone to deliver the medicine to prevent colds that I knew about it. You must be careful in this weather. The consequences of catching a cold are unimaginable."

"How can it be so exaggerated? I've been vaccinated and have immunity." Wan Ning joked nonchalantly, but she took the medicine and drank it all in one gulp. Although she seemed to be enjoying the drink, her brows were still furrowed by the bitterness of the medicine. Before she could relax, she saw Wan Tao's puzzled expression, and she tried hard to explain: "I was just talking nonsense, don't take it to heart. Anyway, this medicine is really bitter every time I drink it."

Wan Tao seemed to have been prepared and took out a plate of dried plums coated with powdered sugar from the lunch box like magic. The sweet and sour taste quickly spread over the taste buds, neutralizing and covering up the bitterness of the medicine and also relaxing her brows.

"Wan Tao, you are so considerate. Anyone who gets to stay with you will really win the lottery."

Wan Tao stood up and packed her things, shaking her head gently: "Princess, you are praising the wrong person. These were all sent by the emperor. If it is thoughtful, it is probably the emperor himself."

"emperor?"

She was a little surprised, and then she quickly regained her composure: "It's hard for him to be so busy every day. He is personally watching Liu Xueyu's case, and he still has to take time to pay attention to me. If the emperor's people come to ask, you can say that I'm fine and everything is normal. It's just a little headache. There's no need for him to worry about such a small problem."

"Remember, this medicine contains ingredients that help you sleep. Let me help the princess go to bed and rest first."

Wan Ning's eyes widened. She had wanted to seize the time to prepare for Pei Lan's memorial event, but now she felt overwhelmed. Before Wan Tao left, she specifically asked, "What time is it now?"

"It's almost 3 p.m.," Wan Tao replied, and covered her with a blanket.

Wan Ning quickly pulled out the shadow puppet she had bought from the palace maid yesterday from under her pillow and handed it to Wan Tao, carefully explaining, "I have something else for you to do. Make a few more similar shadow puppets based on the image of Pei Lan in the past."

Wan Tao took it and put it away: "Princess, don't worry about it. Just leave it to us. I guarantee you will be able to see the finished product when you wake up."

"Thank you for your help. I promise I will be full of energy again tomorrow!"

After Wan Tao left, the effect of the decoction slowly took effect. Wan Ning was in a daze all night and fell asleep in a daze. It was strange that she had never been sick since she became an adult. Not only had she never been sick, she had never even had a small cold and runny nose. It seemed that she had almost forgotten the feeling of being weak all over, dry mouth and difficulty breathing.

At midnight, this feeling came again. Her condition did not improve as planned, but she felt cold all over. She curled up in the quilt, and her forehead, which was exposed outside the quilt, was hot. Fine and dense sweat oozed from her delicate skin. It seemed that there was a mountain in her nose, and she could not get any air. She could only breathe with her mouth half open, which made her throat dry like a desert. Her lips also became extremely thin, and almost bled if she exerted a little force.

She wanted to open her eyes, but found that even her eyes were so sore that she could hardly move.
