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

"Dead? That's really a good thing for him. He really knows how to find the right time." Yan Ke widened his eyes when he heard the news that Boss Xiao was dead. There was both anger and confusion in his eyes.

If it was a small character like Xiao Lao Da, Yan Ke would definitely not care about him, but this was the culprit that caused Zi Jian's eye disease. And she knew that Zi Jian had been tracking down Xiao Lao Da's whereabouts. Seeing that he was so concerned, she thought he was seeking revenge. Unexpectedly, he finally met him today and killed him so easily. It was really unexpected.

"Brother Zijian, you are so kind that you let him go so easily."

Zi Jian still looked as distant as usual, showing no emotion, and said calmly, "It's not me."

"It's not you. There is actually someone who got there before you. Who is it?" Yan Ke couldn't believe it and stared into his eyes, hoping to get the answer.

"He took a hostage, and the hostage stabbed him in the chest in a panic in order to defend himself. He was already dead when I arrived." Zijian added. When he mentioned the hostage, he subconsciously glanced at the room where Wan Tao was, worried that she needed quiet and didn't want more people to know about this, so he thought about getting Yan Ke away first.

But he underestimated Yan Ke's understanding of him, and her eyes immediately followed and noticed the room. The meticulous and suspicious Yan Ke realized that something was wrong, and immediately changed his expression and pointed at the room and asked: "Brother Zijian, who is in the room?"

"Hostage." Zi Jian didn't want to say Wan Tao's name, so he opened his lips slightly and revealed two words coldly.

Yan Ke obviously didn't believe this answer. Instead, she felt that he was deliberately hiding something. Her insecurity made her feel that Zi Jian was favoring the person in the room. She asked angrily, "Hostage? What hostages are you sending to the inn instead of sending them to the government office or their own homes? If I didn't come, would you, brother Zi Jian, also plan to stay here tonight? Tell me, is the person in the room the so-called hostage, or is it your mistress?"

Without waiting for Zijian to explain, Yan Ke walked towards the room in anger, and when she saw the door was about to be opened, Zijian suddenly appeared and blocked it. He comforted her, "Yan Ke, there is really a hostage inside. She is injured and waiting for the doctor to treat her. Don't make a fuss, go back to the palace and wait for me, okay?"

Yan Ke was so emotional that he couldn't listen to Zi Jian's words. He tilted his head and pursed his lips, staring at Zi Jian's face with grievance. Tears fell from his eyes like pearls from a broken string. He asked in a crying voice: "Since you are a hostage, how can I not see you? You lied to me, right? You finally came back, but you don't live in the mansion. Do you know how lonely I am and how much I miss you when my father is not here? When my father comes back, I will tell him that I will leave you in Nanye to accompany me in the future. You can't go to such a far place anymore. Woo woo-"

Yan Ke became more and more sad as she spoke, tears streaming down her red eyes. This aggrieved look seemed to have taken her back to her childhood. She was still secretly glancing at Zijian's reaction while crying, and only felt relieved when she saw the panic on his face. This was her trump card. When she was a child, whenever she and Zijian's brother had a fight or an argument, she would cry, and Zijian would give her the things or completely admit defeat.

So when Zijian naturally wiped away his tears with the back of his hand, Yan Ke was certain that brother Zijian was still the brother who doted on him. This routine still worked for him, and he still cared about him, so Yan Ke's attitude softened.

On the other side, Wan Ning had not received any news yet and was still searching in the Jade Butterfly Palace, muttering to herself, "This is useless, this... is moldy, and has a strong musty smell. This one seems to be interesting."

"Hey, look, this hairpin seems to be interesting." Wan Ning picked up one end of the hairpin with two fingers in disdain, straightened up and asked before she could see the person clearly. She blinked her eyes and was overjoyed to find Ziheng appeared at the door. She couldn't help but smile sweetly at him with her eyes narrowed.

"It looks good. This hairpin is really nice." Ziheng had already walked to her side, held her waist with both hands, easily led her out of the pile of "junk", and placed her steadily on the ground.

"Why are you here?" Wan Ning tilted her head and looked at Ziheng with eyes as sparkling as a deer. The dust on her face was as dazzling as stars.

"I heard you were here. What are you doing here alone?" Ziheng gently stroked her face and wiped the dust off her gently and lovingly.

Mu Xiu, who was blocked by the high "hill" because he was bending over to search, rolled his eyes and stood up with a "squeak". He looked disgusted with the sweetness of young couples, as if he was teasing his friends about their love, and reminded them weakly: "Your Majesty, it's not just her, there's me too."

Ziheng didn't even look at him, but said "Oh" softly, continued to focus on Wan Ning, and took her hand and wanted to leave.

"We're all family, we're all family, please don't quarrel because of me." Wan Ning was in a good mood and was still joking, but Mu Xiu rolled his eyes even more.

"No, Yanyan's friends are also my friends." Ziheng spoke with a smile to show his magnanimity, but he held Wan Ning's hand even tighter.

"That's good!" Wan Ning smiled with her eyes curved, and gently stroked Ziheng's head with her other hand, praising him.

Mu Xiu couldn't stand this disgusting scene and the behavior of secretly asserting sovereignty. He didn't want to be immersed in the sour atmosphere of the young couple, so he said, "I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do, so I won't disturb you."

Just as she was about to leave, Ziheng stopped her: "You stay here, Yanyan and I have somewhere to go."

After saying that, Ziheng held Wan Ning's hand tightly and took her straight out of Yudie Palace and walked towards the palace gate.

The two walked faster and faster. Seeing that he was a little abnormal, Wan Ning took the initiative to explain: "Ziheng, are you angry? Mu Xiu and I are really just friends, it's nothing."

Ziheng was secretly delighted, thinking that Wan Ning took the initiative to explain to him because she cared about him. He stopped and took out the token to leave the palace and handed it to Wan Ning, saying, "Fang Xiong has prepared the carriage."

Wan Ning glanced at the token in her hand, still confused, and asked jokingly, "Ziheng, you're not going to expel me from the palace for such a small matter, are you?"

"How can I give up?"

"Humph, I knew you wouldn't." She took out the token and looked at it: "Then why did you give me this? I already have a butterfly jade pendant."

Ziheng hesitated to speak, holding Wan Ning's arm with one hand, and said carefully: "The Qi Palace sent a message that Wan Tao from your palace was kidnapped and injured by gangsters outside the palace, and is now receiving treatment outside the palace."

"What?" Wan Ning couldn't believe her ears. Her head was buzzing. "How is Wan Tao? She was fine a few hours ago. I was the one who let her leave the palace. It's all my fault."

"It's not your fault, Yanyan, don't blame yourself." Ziheng comforted her: "There's no danger to her life for now, and I've already called a doctor."

Wan Ning broke free from his hand and turned around anxiously: "No, I want to go see her."

"Fang Xiong is already waiting, Yanyan, don't worry. I'm sorry, I can't go with you tonight."

Wan Ning tightly grasped the token to leave the palace, turned around and took two steps, then turned back to give Ziheng, who was still standing there, a hug, and immediately ran away, leaving him standing there and watching her go.
