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

"Yes, just put me down here."

Wan Ning slightly lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw that they were almost at the market. In order to avoid the crowds, she asked Fang Xiong to stop the car.

"I have other things to do, so I'll leave first." Hearing Wan Ning say this, Ziheng reluctantly let go of her hand and watched her get up.

When she opened the door, she suddenly turned around with a sly smile and quickly kissed him on the cheek, then looked down at him with a triumphant expression. She asked, "Oh, you are going to see King Qi today. Is he going to leave Nanye City for a few days?"

Ziheng nodded: "I will leave tomorrow."

After receiving a positive answer, Wan Ning smiled brightly, raised her eyebrows to express her gratitude, and waved her hand to leave. Ziheng grabbed her wrist from behind and pulled her into his arms, causing her to lose balance and fall backwards. However, he had already prepared himself to let her fall into his arms without deviation, and they looked into each other's eyes.

"What are you doing? You childish boy." Wan Ning said angrily.

Ziheng blushed, feeling shy for his "childish" behavior. He avoided the questioning intentionally or unintentionally and said softly, "Be careful!"

"Okay, I remember that, and you too."

Ziheng helped her up. Now she was really leaving. The moment she got out of the carriage, she found Fang Xiong standing two steps away from the carriage, still with a look of vigilance and indifference. When he saw her come out, he was surprised. I guess he was prepared for the two of them to be together and perform a farewell ceremony, so he was a little surprised to see her come out so quickly.

Wan Ning nodded to Fang Xiong, then looked around to make sure there was no one around, then she supported herself with her hands and jumped down from the carriage, turning around and leaving neatly. At the same time, Fang Xiong walked over quickly, jumped into the carriage, and drove away.

Ever since she analyzed that Prince Qi and Gao Niang might have had an unusual relationship, Wan Ning has been thinking about investigating the true relationship between the two. Just now, she heard Ziheng mention that Prince Qi would be away from Nanye for a few days tomorrow, but the selection day was not far away, and now was the critical time. So she guessed that the two would definitely meet after Prince Qi left.

In order to confirm her guess, Wan Ning decided to stake out near Furong Tower. Why not Prince Qi's Mansion? First, Yan Ke was at home, which was inconvenient; second, Prince Qi was very popular recently, and there were more or less people watching at the door of Prince Qi's Mansion. It was not terrible if Prince Qi was exposed, but it would be bad if someone found Wan Ning "sneaking" at the door of Prince Qi's Mansion. If someone exposed her identity as a princess, it would be too "socially dead".

But where to hide is really a big problem. When you think about it in this way, you feel that the location of Furong Tower was chosen with ulterior motives.

The first time I came here, I thought that as a teahouse, the location was too remote, and the taste of the tea was average. No one would go so far for a sip of tea. Now I think the road here is narrow and secluded. From the second floor of Furong Building, you can see people passing by clearly. It is an excellent observation platform. Moreover, Furong Building is sandwiched between two rows of houses and surrounded by low houses. Even if Wan Ning wanted to hide, there was no good position or shelter.

In order not to alert the enemy, she wandered aimlessly in the bustling market, thinking of a solution. When she was at a loss, someone passed by and caught her attention.

"Sir, please take care."

The voice sounded familiar, so Wan Ning turned around immediately and happened to see a fat waiter seeing off a customer. When she came to her senses and looked up, what a coincidence, this was An Ning Building!

"It's like a sleepy head meets a pillow. How could I have forgotten about you?"

"Sir, please come in!" The fat waiter saw someone off and came back to see someone looking around at the door, so he took the initiative to greet him and ask. This little fat guy must be the "top seller" in the store. Not only is his round face very pleasing, but his memory is also very good. He felt familiar just by seeing Wan Ning's profile, and searched frantically in his head. When Wan Ning heard the noise and turned around to meet his eyes, he had already recognized her.

He greeted her enthusiastically, smiling broadly, "Miss, you are here alone today. We have new dishes at An Ning Lou. Would you be willing to give me some suggestions?"

Wan Ning nodded: "That's exactly what I meant. I came at the right time."

"That's right. Thanks to you, our new dishes can also have a good start. Please come this way, be careful of the steps." The waiter led her in politely. Perhaps because she was keeping a low profile today, he did not advertise loudly. He led her directly to the second floor and asked, "Today, we are full. Only the private room on the second floor is vacant. Are you willing, Miss?"

There were clearly vacancies on the second floor. Wan Ning glanced at him and was naturally satisfied with his arrangement. The business of An Ning Building was very good on weekdays. The number of private rooms on the second floor was limited and usually had to be reserved. She came late today, so there were naturally extra rooms.

The "fat waiter" opened the door and invited Wan Ning. After she sat down, he asked, "Miss, do you have a favorite guy?"

"Big restaurants are different, and there are waiters I like. Am I in a restaurant or a brothel? I should be right." Wan Ning thought to herself, but she was afraid that people would see that she had a special relationship with Liu Qingquan, so she hesitantly said, "Is this a new service? I didn't see it last time I came. I'm not familiar with the waiter either. How about we go back to the one from last time? I think his last name is Liu, Liu something?"

"Liu? What's Liu? But it's Liu Qingquan. He's the only one in the store with the last name Liu."

"Maybe. It's not a big problem. Let him come." Wan Ning deliberately released a smoke bomb and waited for the man to go out. Then he immediately opened the window facing the street to observe the situation outside. It could be considered as an advance rehearsal.

"I traveled through time and space to be a spy in Chu Country. Hehe, this theme is not bad." She stared at it, imagining that she was an "agent" with an excellent memory, and was carrying out an important mission at this moment.

squeak--

A slightly sharp voice disturbed her dream of being an agent. Wan Ning turned around immediately and saw Liu Qingquan standing at the door with a fruit plate and a look of surprise on his face. Her eyes widened instantly.

Wan Ning motioned him to be quiet, and Liu Qingquan immediately closed the door - the door made a "creak" sound again, and the two looked at each other. After closing the door, Liu Qingquan regained his happy expression, and this time he looked much better than last time. He walked to Wan Ning in one or two steps with a fruit plate, and while pouring her tea, he asked, "Princess, why are you here!"

"Me? I'm just passing by." Wan Ning picked up a peanut from the plate, peeled it and stuffed it into her mouth. She pointed at the door with her eyes and asked, "What's wrong with that door? Your An Ning Building has such a big business, but the door is so poorly used! It's stiff. Find time to put some oil on it. It's so noisy when the door is opened. Can these young masters who come here stand it?"

"Hey, who knows? All the other rooms are fine, but these few are not. I asked the shopkeeper but he didn't fix them. Forget it. I don't usually come here for service anyway." Liu Qingquan absolutely didn't believe that the princess was just passing by, and asked anxiously, "Princess, what exactly are you here for this time?"

Wan Ning beckoned him to come closer, whispered her plan, and then asked, "Are you willing to join us?"
