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

Inside the Yudie Palace, Wan Ning thought that her sisters had not left yet, and turned back in surprise, just in time to see Mu Xiu's cold face.

"Why are you here?" Wan Ning asked without hesitation, while squatting down calmly and crawling out of his arms, standing next to him and helping him to throw the lifted shelf aside.

Mu Xiu saw that she was avoiding suspicion, so he deliberately patted the dust off his hands and walked towards the cabinet that had been pressed before. He opened the drawers one by one and checked what was inside.

"I heard you were here, so I came with you." After confirming that there was nothing in the drawer, Mu Xiu stood up and leaned against the cabinet, adding frivolously, "There are so many things here, I can't let you count them all by yourself."

"You have a conscience," Wan Ning joked, not looking at him anymore and walking to the side to look for other things. "I just learned from the nanny that this is where Concubine Lan lived before. Maybe there will be unexpected gains, so you have to count carefully."

"Yeah, I know." Mu Xiu responded casually with his head down and searching.

"Hmm? You are still as well-informed as ever!" Wan Ning straightened up in surprise and looked at him with admiration, praising him sincerely: "I just learned about this matter. When can I use your well-informed information to help me find the whereabouts of the real Princess Le Yan?"

Mu Xiu remained silent and continued to count the pile of things in front of him.

"Well, I won't ask anymore. You know everything. You will definitely let me know when there is news." Wan Ning waved her hand. The moment she turned sideways, she felt that Mu Xiu was not in a good state. She held her chin with one hand and looked him up and down carefully, saying three wrongs in a row: "No, no, you are not right. Do you have other things to do here today?"

Mu Xiu straightened up with an expression that he could not hide anything, looked towards the room at the far east, and pleaded, "That room is good, keep it for me."

"Here? This is where the concubines live!" Wan Ning followed his gaze and asked loudly, puzzled, "What are you doing here? To be a dormitory manager?"

While looking back and forth between the room and Mu Xiu, Wan Ning suddenly realized something and asked, "Is it for Meng Zhu? Don't worry, I guarantee she will be eliminated in the first round. There's no point in a child joining in this kind of talent show. You can wait for her to go back to Yuxi Palace. I guarantee she will come in the morning and go back in the afternoon so she won't be late for dinner. What do you think?"

Mu Xiu did not show the expression she expected. Even when he turned around, his thin face looked a little tired. He waved his hand and refused, "No need."

This answer was indeed beyond her expectations. She showed a surprised expression on her face. Before she could ask, Mu Xiu immediately explained the reason: "Mengzhu is a princess who came to marry. Although she is in Nanye, her every move is watched by Tu Mo. If she does not fulfill her duties, she will be attacked, and her future life will be even more difficult. I heard that the new princess and the little prince are more favored recently. The king has handed over some matters of Tu Mo to the princess to handle."

"Wait, this script about the princess handling government affairs sounds so familiar, I think I've seen it somewhere?"

Mu Xiu rolled his eyes at her and complained, "You've watched too many TV dramas! There isn't much room for her to survive in Tumo now. Even if she can return to Tumo safely in the future, she won't have the foundation to be a princess. It's lucky for her to be able to stay in Nanye and spend a few years in peace. Let her have more fun here and make more friends."

This sentence was not only about Meng Zhu, but also about themselves. Seeing that the atmosphere was a little strange, Wan Ning understood his thoughts very well, so she patted her chest and assured him: "Don't worry, I will take care of it."

"Thank you."

Under the dim candlelight, his clear voice penetrated the darkness. Wan Ning did not respond, and the two of them searched through the pile of junk in tacit silence.

At this time, Wan Tao outside the palace was being held hostage by the gangster. He grabbed Wan Tao's arm viciously with one hand and held a dagger hidden in his sleeve against her waist with the other hand. The coldness of the blade was so strong that even through several layers of clothes, she could still feel the bloody smell of death at such a close distance.

"Don't talk, follow me." The vicious criminal leaned over her ear and threatened her in a voice that only she could hear. Wan Tao didn't dare to say anything and let him pull her away from the crowd.

As the distance got farther and farther, the breathing of the criminal behind her became clearer, and the cold winter wind blew in her face, making her sober and lifting the veil that Wan Tao was wearing. When she subconsciously checked the veil, she saw a flaky, arched scar on the man's wrist. Even though he had wrapped it with a strip of cloth, the red part was still exposed for Wan Tao to see.

It was such a terrifying existence that Wantao's heart instantly rose to her throat, thinking about how to save herself.

She first looked around and saw that the two of them were far away from the market and the crowds, walking on a remote path, surrounded by winter farmland and further away were forests. This was an extremely dangerous place, and even if she shouted for help, no one would come in time, so she pinched her arm hard to keep herself awake and calm.

Listening to the criminal's hurried breathing and seeing his disorderly steps behind her, Wan Tao immediately analyzed that the criminal had reached the point of exhaustion and was in a state of paranoia.

"Brother, it's safe now. No one is chasing us."

Wan Tao's sudden words made him subconsciously grab her arm. He immediately checked front, back, left and right with high vigilance, then he let out a long sigh and relaxed his grip.

"Since you are safe, I am of no use to you. Keeping me with you will hinder your journey. You might as well let me go," Wan Tao suggested in a low voice.

The criminal was obviously relaxed at this time. He spat to the side and cursed: "God damn it, I am so unlucky. How come I ran into this group of damn people as soon as I went out? Not only did I fail to complete the mission, but I almost lost my life."

The criminal vented his emotions while pushing Wan Tao from behind, until he pushed her into the woods to make sure she couldn't escape, and then he sat down against a tree. He waved a dagger at Wan Tao with his left hand, threatening: "Be quiet, or I'll kill you. This is a desolate mountain, and no one will know about it anyway."

After saying that, the criminal tilted his head back and leaned against a tree to rest, scratching the scar on his right hand frequently with his left hand, as if it was itchy.

Wan Tao nodded, thinking of other ways. Suddenly she smelled blood, and following the smell she saw red blood on his arm. She came up with a plan, wanting to show him some kindness so he would relax his guard: "Are you bleeding?"

The criminal glanced at her in surprise, then lowered his head to check his arm, touched the dried blood with his fingers, put it to his nose and sniffed it.

The answer was, "It's not mine. You are a strange person. You don't care about how to escape but care about me."

His eyes were fierce and fierce, and Wan Tao turned her face away in fear. The relieved criminal began to look up and down at the girl in front of him. Although she was wearing a veil, her figure was indeed slender and graceful, different from any other woman he had ever met before.

He tilted his head and played with the dagger in his hand, as if staring at the prey that was about to be caught, and said in a threatening voice: "But there is one thing you can really help me with."

"
