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

It was embarrassing, really embarrassing. For a moment, everyone's expressions froze and they looked at each other, and no one dared to speak first.

Wan Ning tilted her head and quietly lowered her arms, folded in front of her chest, so as not to appear too aggressive and scare the frightened people opposite. Her mouth opened and closed, and the words she spoke became very soft and gentle: "Doctor Cui? Why are you here? Who is sick again?"

Cui Yian hurriedly stepped out from the crowd, bent down and greeted Wan Ning in fear: "Good luck to the princess." In this palace, it is illegal for the imperial physician to come to the cold palace to treat the concubines without the imperial physician's order. If he is investigated for his improper behavior, he will naturally be attacked. But he forgot that it was Wan Ning who brought him to Wuming Palace for the first time, and the princess would not pay attention to these messy rules.

Concubine Yi was well-informed. She was keenly aware of Cui Yian's embarrassment and immediately stepped forward with a kind and gentle smile, saying, "Good luck to Princess Le Yan. Thank you for your concern. We are all fine. Imperial Doctor Cui is kind enough not to despise us, the abandoned concubines. He took the time today to come and check our pulses. It's usually lonely here, and it's rare to find someone as simple and kind as Imperial Doctor Cui."

"And handsome," Concubine Ru added with a smile, and the other concubines also laughed and joined in the fun.

Concubine Yi was also amused by the relaxed and happy atmosphere. She smiled with her eyes curved and said to them helplessly, "Yes, there are still handsome men willing to come to this nameless palace to take care of our health. We are very grateful and will treat them well. Princess, you came at the right time. We were just about to send Doctor Cui away."

Wan Ning stole a glance at Cui Yian standing nearby. He was holding a medicine box in one hand, with his head down and his face reddened as if he was about to get drunk. She immediately understood what had just happened. A young man like him, with a simple mind, simple family, simple experience, and simple emotions, suddenly came to this nameless palace. Isn't it like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth and being ruthlessly manipulated and teased?

Seeing that he was shy but willing, he must have his sweetheart among them. Wan Ning secretly observed and followed his gaze, only to see that he looked in the direction of Concubine Yu intentionally or unintentionally. But Concubine Yu was so cold that he was worried.

"Princess, the ladies are in good health, and Yi An will not bother them any further."

Wan Ning leaned forward slightly and agreed to let him leave. While everyone was watching him leave, Wan Ning's eyes fell on Concubine Yu, only to see that she had been talking to the innocent Concubine Qin beside her, and her eyes never looked over.

Looks like someone is going to suffer in love!

After seeing Cui Yian off, Concubine Yi took Wan Ning to her room to spend time alone. It was strange to say that although Concubine Yi was not that old, she always had a kind and kind feeling of an elder. She was more like an elder than the Queen Mother. She always smiled gently, poured tea for Wan Ning and put all the delicious food in front of her. She was afraid that she would be hungry and miss the delicious food.

After doing all this, she still smiled gently and asked directly: "Princess, you are busy and haven't come to Wuming Palace for some time. Is there anything going on today?"

Wan Ning picked up the cake on the plate and was about to put it in her mouth, but when she heard her question, she put it down anxiously and replied, "Empress Yi is so good at predicting things. Do you still remember what I asked you to do?"

"Xia Fei?" Concubine Yi said her guess and slowly sat down. She had been waiting for this day, hoping it would come soon but also hoping it would be slower. When this day finally came, she couldn't explain her complicated feelings.

"That's right. Concubine Xia moved out of Wuming Palace and moved into Yudie Palace more than half a month ago. This matter cannot be delayed. The longer it is delayed, the more people will be involved. I am afraid that the longer the night, the more troubles there will be." Wan Ning explained the purpose of her visit and expressed her concerns.

Concubine Yi frowned slightly, but soon regained her usual calmness and asked with a smile, "Princess, have you made any arrangements?"

Wan Ning nodded, holding Concubine Yi's wrist and comforting her, "I know Concubine Yi is reluctant to leave, but all good things must come to an end. If Concubine Xia leaves here sooner, she can also resume her normal life sooner. Concubine Xia usually stays by Princess Mengzhu's side, and not many people have seen her. I'm afraid that the more people who see her in the future, the greater the risk."

Concubine Yi's eyes were filled with longing, but her voice was trembling as she asked, "What...when?"

"How about February 12th - Flower Festival? On that day, I will arrange for the concubines to go outside the city to participate in the flower viewing activities. The surrounding area is relatively secluded. At that time, Concubine Xia, as Princess Mengzhu's accompanying maid, will also go with her. On the way, Mengzhu will perform a play to instruct her to go out to buy."

Wan Ning slowly spoke of her plan. Concubine Yi frowned and was very worried: "Concubine Xia has always been timid. She entered the palace at a very young age. I am afraid that she can't handle things outside the palace. Will there be another accident?"

"Don't worry, Concubine Yi. I have already arranged for someone to pick her up. Once Concubine Xia leaves the camp, someone will find her and take her out of Nanye City overnight." Seeing that Concubine Yi was a little relieved, Wan Ning continued, "I have already inquired about it. Concubine Xia's mother died early and her father remarried and had a son and a daughter. Now she is living a happy life. If Concubine Xia goes back rashly, I am afraid people will be afraid and suspicious."

"I have never heard Concubine Xia talk about this, but I have saved some gold and silver for her. Princess, please teach her after she leaves the palace, and tell her to take good care of herself and be more careful with others, and don't be deceived again." Concubine Yi now feels like her daughter is leaving home, and she is very worried about everything, worried that she still has many things to say and do.

"Xia Fei's father remarried after she entered the palace, so naturally she didn't know about it. I also inquired about it. In addition to her father, she also has an uncle in Liucheng. He grew up with Xia Fei's mother when he was young and had a very deep relationship with her. The frequent contacts were only interrupted when Xia Fei's mother passed away. It is better to let Xia Fei go to Liucheng to find her uncle from her mother's family. Liucheng is far away from Nanye City and is relatively safe. Moreover, I have bought a few shops outside the palace for Xia Fei to save some money for her. Now it is all handed over to the money house for operation and management. After a year, Xia Fei will be handed over to her if she is safe. Concubine Yi does not need to worry too much."

Wan Ning looked around at the simple decoration of the Nameless Palace and added, "Life in the Nameless Palace is inconvenient. Your Majesty should think more about yourself and others. There will be places where you need money in the future. You can save the money for your own expenses."

"Alas, since entering the Wuming Palace, money is no longer the most important thing. Even if I have money, I have nowhere to spend it. Others avoid it as much as possible."

Wan Ning suddenly held Concubine Yi's hand and asked in a low voice: "Since you can't get flowers in the palace, what about outside the palace? Does Concubine Yi want to be trapped in this dilapidated palace for the rest of her life?"

"Me?" Concubine Yi looked surprised and shook her head repeatedly: "I am already this old, I don't know how many years I have left in this world, I won't bother anymore. Moreover, I am different from Concubine Xia. I am a registered concubine and have seen the Empress Dowager. If I suddenly disappear, it will definitely cause more people to investigate, and then it will also implicate the princess."

Wan Ning had thought of these words a long time ago, but in her plan, she would leave here. Since one disaster is good, two disasters are good, so why not make a bigger disaster? The old man, the retired emperor, was old and frail, but he wanted to trap these young and beautiful women in the cold palace. She wanted to be a matchmaker and take all the women in the cold palace out.

"You don't have to reject me now, Your Majesty. You can think about it again. Since you are so worried about Concubine Xia, why don't you stay with her in the palace? Besides, there are other sisters in the palace. Why can you bear to watch them waste their best years here?" Wan Ning observed Concubine Yi's hesitation, and then added: "I will send Concubine Xia out first according to the plan, Your Majesty will make a decision after seeing it."

“Perhaps the solution is much simpler than we thought.”
