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

Since the beginning of winter, the weather has been getting colder day by day.

When Wan Ning came back from Wuming Palace, she passed by Yuxi Palace. The gate was half-closed and the courtyard was very quiet. She suddenly stopped and thought that it would be fine to go back now. She suddenly wanted to see what Mu Xiu was doing recently, so she sneaked in.

Yuxi Palace was still very deserted. Wan Ning stood in the courtyard and looked around. At this time, Biluo was accompanying Mengzhu to the Buddhist hall for class. Yin Zhu, who was sweeping the courtyard with a broom, saw her and immediately straightened up and greeted her with a smile, and pointed to Mu Xiu's study to indicate that the prince was in the room at this time.

It's strange that Prince Mu Xiu and Princess Meng Zhu came to Nanye to marry, but each of them only brought one follower with them. There is a contrast between these two people. As a girl, Bi Luo is good at martial arts, but she has a bad temper and doesn't have a good face even to Meng Zhu. She always looks cold. As a boy, Yin Zhu is sweet, cute and polite. Every time they meet, they smile before they open their mouths. His curved eyes are very cute when he smiles, but he knows nothing about martial arts. He likes to do housework, cook and take care of other people's daily lives all day long.

Seeing his infectious smile, Wan Ning also smiled unconsciously. She pointed to Mu Xiu's study room and waved her hand to let her go find him. She had been to Mu Xiu's study room before. Although it was not big, it was already filled with various books. Wan Ning thought guiltily as she walked in, "He loves studying so much, no wonder he can be a boss!"

The door of Mu Xiu's study was wide open, so Wan Ning walked in directly and found that Mu Xiu was comfortably curled up in a recliner covered with a blanket. The desk was within reach, and there was a pot of tea and a plate of cakes on it. He was reading a book in his hand, and he didn't notice Wan Ning approaching. When Wan Ning approached, she also found that the book Prince Mu Xiu was reading was not a "serious" book, but a folk novel that was not presentable.

"Oh, Prince Mu Xiu is actually reading this kind of book at home?" Wan Ning's sudden voice startled Mu Xiu so much that he immediately sat up. After taking a look, he immediately lay back down and opened the book again, not forgetting to cover himself with the blanket.

"What do you know? I'm here to learn the writing of the Chu country. I don't want to read those obscure books." He handed the book to Wan Ning and said proudly, "It's good to read this kind of book. There are several more there. Do you want to take one home to read?"

Seeing Mu Xiu's calm and relaxed attitude, Wan Ning sighed and sat on the chair beside him, supporting her face with her hands and staring at Mu Xiu, sighing uncontrollably. Seeing this, Mu Xiu also put away his book and sat up, took out a new cup and poured her a cup of warm tea, glancing at her several times and asking, "Why are you like this? What happened?"

Wan Ning suddenly had an idea. She changed her hand from resting her chin to holding the edge of the table. She leaned forward slightly and asked expectantly, "Boss Jiang, when your ancestors passed down half of the butterfly jade pendant, did they say when you could go back?"

"Is this what you are doing?" Mu Xiu heaved a sigh of relief. He thought she had encountered something big, but now it seems to be the same old problem. In his opinion, this matter cannot be rushed, so he lay back comfortably and turned to the page he had just read, and continued to read with relish, not even looking at her, and said casually: "Don't worry, wait until you find the butterfly jade pendant first. If you are fast, you can go back tomorrow, but if you are slow, you may not be able to go back."

"Huh, Jiang Zhifan, Jiang Zhifan, how else can you be a boss? What a nonsense literature, it's the same as saying nothing." Wan Ning continued to hold her face and sighed: "Oh, if only I knew how long I could stay here!"

"Hey, you don't look right. What happened?" Seeing her like this, Mu Xiu didn't have the heart to continue teasing her.

"There is one thing indeed. Do you still remember Wuming Palace?"

"Ru Fei, I met her at Xiang Wanxuan."

Wan Ning looked conflicted and said, "This time it's not Concubine Ru, it's Concubine Yi. There are five concubines in Wuming Palace, one of whom is Concubine Xia, who is still young and not yet an adult, so Concubine Yi asked me to send her out during this selection."

After hearing this, Mu Xiu glanced at her expression and immediately realized that although she was a little confused now, she probably already had the answer in her heart. So he gave his advice directly: "This kind of thing is likely to be troublesome, and at least you will have no worries about food and clothing in this palace. Reject her!"

“No—” Wan Ning dragged out the last word and then explained, “You don’t know that the so-called Nameless Palace is actually the Cold Palace. How can you have food and clothing in the Cold Palace? You will have to fend for yourself. They are amazing to have persisted for so long, but if they continue to stay here, it may not be a long-term solution.”

"But if you agree to it and you travel back before sending them out of the palace, what will they do?"

"You're right. I'm worried about this. Boss Jiang, what do you think we should do if we travel back in time tomorrow?"

Her "wishful thinking" almost made Mu Xiu laugh out loud. He didn't know whether to say that she was optimistic or worried about how to spend the prize money even though she hadn't bought the lottery ticket. Mu Xiu took a piece of cake from the plate and stuffed it into her mouth to stop her from continuing to fantasize. He asked, "I see you are really hungry and your mind is not clear. Find the butterfly jade pendant first!"

Because the cake was really thick, it spread in Wan Ning's mouth, making it impossible for her to open her mouth or swallow it. The words she tried to say turned into a mumble in her mouth as soon as they left her throat, making it impossible for anyone to understand what she wanted to say. Seeing that Mu Xiu looked disapproving and suspected of making fun of her, Wan Ning decided to tease him.

Since she couldn't speak, she thought of the butterfly jade pendant that Ziheng had given her. She treasured it so much that she carried it with her every day. So she swallowed hard while groping in her pocket. Fortunately, she had one hand free to grab the cup in front of her and drink it down in big gulps. Her right hand also successfully found the jade pendant from her pocket.

She felt relieved because she swallowed the cake smoothly, and shouted with a slightly excited tone: "Look what this is! I have found the butterfly jade pendant."

The moment she let go of her hand, a warm and white jade pendant appeared in front of Mu Xiu. At that moment, his blood surged and his chest felt a little stuffy. He didn't have time to react to the sudden discomfort in his body. He almost subconsciously looked at the jade pendant and saw that its engraved pattern was almost exactly the same as the one he had before. The only difference was that his was only half a piece, while the one in front of him was complete.

"Look, isn't this exactly the same as the butterfly jade pendant we're looking for? I was just kidding, but it's not real." Wan Ning kept talking, but Mu Xiu didn't hear the rest of her words. At this moment, he not only felt stuffy in his chest, but also had tinnitus and a severe headache, as if it was about to explode.

Wan Ning finally realized that his face looked wrong, and quickly leaned over to check on his condition. However, Mu Xiu was already having difficulty breathing, and he was almost in extreme pain, holding his head.

Finally, he couldn't hold on any longer and fainted beside the table.
