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

Everything in the world is different, but when you look up at the moon in silence, countless moments are connected together in this instant, blurring time, place and yourself.

So that night, Ning and Wantao looked at the same moon in tacit understanding, and on the snowy night when winter turned to spring, they shivered slightly in the same cold wind, and could no longer tell each other apart. At that moment, they both forgot themselves and became each other, a modern soul that was not free and a palace maid of unknown origin from the Chu Kingdom.

"Princess, where are we going next?" Wan Tao was the first to return to the real world and asked with her head down.

No matter how good things are outside the palace, one must not be greedy. Wan Ning turned her head to look at the alley entrance and said with relief: "Let's go back to the palace. We will go to the house to get things first, and then go back. Don't let them worry."

"Yeah," Wan Ning agreed, and immediately walked forward to hold Wan Ning's arm. When she was surprised, she took the initiative to say, "Princess, be careful after the heavy snow."

Although winter is coming to an end, and yesterday's heavy snow was more like the last crazy last gasp, the streets are very quiet at this time. Occasionally, a few people hurriedly walked by, wrapped in thick clothes, with their heads down, just moving forward. In such an environment, Wan Ning and Wan Tao are indeed more conspicuous.

The two of them just walked through an alley, and the lanterns in their hands emitted a dim yellow light, which "exploded" into dots of light under the diffuse reflection of the snow, like flowers blooming on the ground. However, this little brightness was really a drop in the bucket. You could see the figures passing by but you couldn't see who they were clearly. The unclear feeling made people feel scared and uneasy.

What to do when you are afraid? Wan Ning has a way. When she feels scared, she forces herself to hold her head high and pretend that it is no big deal. This is a method she has figured out while walking in the village at night, and it has worked for her every time.

Finally, when they were about to cross the alley, they saw the light at the end, and it seemed that someone was there. Wan Ning was secretly delighted: "I'm so lucky today, thank you kind person."

Now she could walk more calmly and avoid the snow pits on the road. Out of curiosity, Wan Ning pretended to look at the light casually when she passed through the alley, wanting to see who was holding the lantern. Her eyes followed the lantern to his slender fingers, and finally fell on his face. Wan Ning couldn't help but widen her eyes and stopped.

"Why are you here?" Wan Ning asked in surprise.

The person holding the lantern was none other than Ziheng, who was dressed in casual clothes. Next to him was a sturdy horse with smooth and silky hair, a strong body, and clear muscle lines. It looked energetic and was obviously a rare good horse. Next to the horse was a man, wearing a black long gown, standing in the shadows as if invisible.

Wan Ning narrowed her eyes and walked around Ziheng to look at the shadow, but she couldn't see it clearly. So she pointed at it, and Ziheng turned his head to look at the shadow in confusion. Wan Ning hesitated and said, "Is that... a person? Or has my myopia worsened and I can't tell the difference between a human and a ghost anymore."

At this time, the black shadow moved, bowed to Wan Ning and said, "Lisong greets Princess Le Yan."

"Ah, Lisong!" Wan Ning rubbed her eyes. Lisong had been guarding the courtyard outside the palace for Ziheng. Ziheng rarely mentioned him and he was rarely seen coming out to do things. He was like a transparent person. Wan Ning had always thought that Lisong was just an ordinary servant, but seeing how he was dressed today, it was clear that he was not that simple.

Looking at Ziheng's outfit, Wan Ning understood most of it. Lisong and Fang Xiong were Ziheng's right-hand men, one handling court affairs in the open, and the other carrying out tasks in the dark. However, it was somewhat dangerous for a secret guard to stand here so openly, and Wan Ning didn't want to delay their business.

Seeing her staring at Lisong, Ziheng reached out and grabbed her sleeve, shaking it gently, and said, "Yanyan, you are here after all. You are not well yet, so you need to rest more. I will take you back."

In order to reassure him, Wan Ning opened her arms and turned her body to show herself from all angles, wanting to tell him that she was fine.

"Look, I'm fine now. Don't worry, I know what's going on. You have to have faith in your 'magic medicine'. If you meet a liar next time, remember to thank him for me." Wan Ning said, "You came at the right time. I've recovered and I'm going back to the palace with my luggage. I'll tell you now."

Ziheng didn't say anything to persuade her to stay, and suggested, "Yanyan, I'll take you there."

After that, without allowing Wan Ning to refuse, he easily picked her up by the waist and placed her steadily on the horse's back. Wan Ning had ridden a horse before and had learned for a few days. Although she had some talent, she had only ridden slightly shorter horses. She had never ridden a horse as tall as this one. She nervously grasped the reins for fear that the horse would not recognize her and throw her off again. In her mind, she was thinking about the horse-riding skills that Meng Zhu had taught her, mainly to cram for the last minute.

In fact, Ziheng had been standing by her side to protect her. He couldn't help but smile when he noticed her appearance. At this time, he turned over and mounted the horse neatly, holding the reins with one hand to protect Wan Ning in his arms. He ordered: "Lisong, you take Wan Tao back to get her luggage and arrange a carriage to take her back to the palace. I'll be here with the princess."

"Yes!"

As soon as Lisong's voice fell, Ziheng turned the horse's direction and moved in one direction. Because she was unfamiliar and unknown, Wan Ning immediately grabbed the reins tightly and closed her eyes nervously. But when she reacted, she found that the horse was walking slowly and steadily, which had nothing to do with its adventurous appearance.

Wan Ning awkwardly let go of her hand, chuckled, and pretended not to care and said, "Hey, it walks pretty steadily."

Ziheng behind him couldn't help laughing and explained, "After all, he was once the best war horse of the Chu State." He gently stroked the wound under its mane with his hand.

"What's its name?" Wan Ning asked.

"Feihua," Ziheng replied, patting its back gently, and Feihua shook its neck and rubbed it.

"Feihua? It's a nice name. It looks so happy, why not take it for a run?" Wan Ning suggested.

Feihua seemed to understand and responded with a dull cry. Ziheng then shook the reins gently, and Feihua seemed to have been waiting for this command for a long time, and ran excitedly. As the horses galloped, they came to a secluded wilderness, leaning against each other and not feeling scared.

"It's so beautiful here!" Wan Ning said.

"Yanyan,..." In such a quiet place, he wanted to ask her to stay, but as soon as he called out, he felt that he had no reason to be so selfish, so he swallowed the rest of the words.

Wan Ning immediately looked at him and asked with concern: "What?"

Ziheng looked at her, smiled, held her hand and asked, "I want to know which direction your home is. If you disappear one day, where should I find you, Yanyan?"

Wan Ning was stunned for a few seconds, then she held Ziheng's hand and said, "My home is in the east. If you want to find me, just walk in the direction of the moon. When you see the moon, it means I am thinking of you. Ziheng, I will always be with you in the form of moonlight."
