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

They stayed awake all night. When Ning appeared in Wantao's room the next morning, she was already dressed and sitting at the table. The tea in the cup in front of her was no longer hot.

She was still wearing the same beige dress from yesterday, but the same dress looked neater and more tidy after she tidied it up, and the crooked bow from yesterday also changed its shape and became more beautiful. Wan Ning caught a glimpse of her back through the crack in the door. Her back was straight and thin, giving her a sense of independence.

From this angle, she looked like a cool lady, not a servant. Even as a servant, she must have been well treated and educated!

Wan Ning withdrew from her deep thoughts and put on a heartless smile. She deliberately pushed the door open loudly to make a noise and shouted, "Wan Tao, the weather is great today. I want to go to the market. Do you have anything to bring?"

Wan Tao turned around and saw that after a night's rest, the bruise on her cheekbone not only did not disappear, but became even more swollen, pushing up the veil on the side.

"Princess, you're up!" For Wan Ning, who always liked to sleep late, it was indeed rare to get up at this time, which also surprised Wan Tao.

"Well, after all, now that you're out of the palace, it's like a holiday. Since the holiday time is yours, you can't use it to sleep in. You have to wait until you go to work to sleep." Wan Ning jokingly sat next to her and took out a cup to pour herself a cup of hot water: "But why did you get up? Why don't you rest a little longer?"

"I'm fine. I have to go to the government office today to explain the situation, so I may not be able to accompany the princess to the market." Wan Tao said with an apologetic tone.

"Then I'll go with you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Wan Tao refused again and again. There were some things she could face alone, but if someone stood behind her, it would take more courage. She begged, "Princess, just let me go alone!"

Facing the determination in her eyes, Wan Ning realized that her kindness might be a burden at this moment, so she smiled with relief, as usual: "Okay, then I'll take you to eat delicious food when you come back."

"Uh-huh"

Wan Ning was almost done. She stood up easily and said, "Then let's go out together now."

Compared to Wan Ning's ease, Wan Tao was completely exhausted. She supported herself on the table with one hand and her waist with the other as she slowly stood up. Her thigh was injured and her waist was also injured, so every step required her to move with difficulty. God knows how long it took her to walk from the bed to the table this morning!

Wan Tao looked at Wan Ning awkwardly and smiled shyly.

Wan Ning reacted quickly, immediately took her arm and supported her, changing the subject: "Remember the wonton stand by the river? I've been craving for it for a long time. Do you want to try it? I'll bring it back to you in the evening."

The two finally reached the door and moved forward along the corridor with difficulty, but Wan Ning knew that this was the third floor! The biggest challenge was going down the stairs, but she didn't know whether Wan Tao knew about it, and she didn't have the heart to ruin her mood, so she had to bite the bullet and help her move forward.

To go down the stairs, you need to turn right at the end of the corridor and walk a short distance. The room at the end also blocked your view. So when Ning turned around in despair that night, she saw Zijian standing there with his sword in his hand and his head lowered. She felt like she saw a savior.

"Zijian, why are you here?" Wan Ning's eyes were shining and her tone was full of lightness.

"Official business. I need to protect your safety, Princess." He subconsciously made up a lame excuse, but felt it was too clumsy after he said it.

However, Wan Ning didn't care and had no intention of investigating the truth. She just felt that a helper had come and said thankfully, "You came at the right time!"

Seeing their posture, Zijian understood. The moment he looked at Wantao, she turned her eyes away tacitly. Zijian put away his sword and climbed the stairs. He walked to them in two or three steps and said softly, "Excuse me." He easily picked up Wantao by the waist, and continued to hold her like a princess, explaining, "Thanks to Miss Wantao's prescription, I can see the light again. Now is my chance to repay you. Please don't take it to heart."

This feeling is a favor, so she won't feel pressured now!

The carriage had been waiting at the door on the first floor. Zijian carried Wantao to the carriage in one go and was about to put her in. Wantao said, "Master Zijian, just put me here. Thank you."

The curtain of the carriage suddenly opened from the inside. Yan Ke poked his head out and was about to question why Zi Jian was so close to others when he suddenly saw clearly that the person in his arms was Wan Tao, the maid next to Wan Ning. He instantly understood why Zi Jian stopped him last night and why he brought the victim to the inn instead of the government office. It turned out that it was all for the sake of Princess Le Yan.

Just as everyone was looking at each other, Wan Tao gently pulled Zi Jian's clothes from behind, quietly reminding him to put her down. Zi Jian received the reminder, glanced at her in his arms, looked up at Yan Ke, and did as he was told.

"Good luck to Princess Yan Ke!" Wan Tao greeted.

Worried that Zijian would be angry, Yan Ke quickly helped Wantao down, explaining: "Brother Zijian, I just wanted to give you a surprise, you won't blame me, right?"

Zi Jian shook his head and reached out to help her down: "Of course not, it was wrong of me to hide it from you. My godfather is not in the palace recently, I should pay more attention to you."

"That's good. I'm happy to hear Brother Zijian's words. If Brother Zijian really cares about me, when father comes back this time, I will tell him not to let you go on these dangerous missions in the future. Every time you leave, I won't see you for a long time." Yan Ke jumped off the carriage and said these words as soon as he stood firm.

Zi Jian naturally didn't want to hear it. He respected his adoptive father King Qi, so he hoped to be the most useful person to him and constantly help him solve the most difficult problems. This has always been his spirit.

"I am going to send Miss Wantao to the yamen now. Ke'er, let's talk about it when I come back." After saying that, Zijian jumped into the carriage.

Watching the carriage leave, Yan Ke felt inexplicably lost and his nose felt a little sour. Wan Ning, who was standing by, noticed something was wrong, so she took the opportunity to put her arm around Yan Ke's shoulder and joked, "Don't look anymore, they've already gone far."

"Royal Aunt!" Yan Ke said angrily.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more. I heard that our lovely Yan Ke is a little bored recently, do you want to go shopping with me?" Wan Ning suggested.

"Shopping again? I've visited all the shops in Nanye City. There's nothing new. I'm not going." Yan Ke sighed. It seemed that during these days in Nanye City, she had become a super member of many shops.

"Hey, this time it's absolutely new. You used to go there to consume, but today I'll change your identity and take you to make money, how about that?" Wan Ning raised her eyebrows and looked at her.

"Make money? That's new. How can you make money by shopping?" Yan Ke became interested and asked.

Wan Ning naturally didn't want to reveal the answer now, so she put her arm around Yan Ke's back and kept him in suspense: "This is a secret, you'll know when you come with me, let's go!"

Half reluctantly, Yan Ke followed her to the market.
