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

"Don't be so frivolous. Don't blame me for not reminding you. You'll be in trouble when the people inside come out. You won't be able to leave then. Since you're a thief, you should also follow some basic laws. Last time I saw you, you were drunk, and today you're acting so carefree in the palace." Wan Ning sniffed and continued, "Drinking often delays things. Today is good, so I didn't drink. See that road? There are fewer people there. You can go that way later."

The little curly-haired boy smiled as he watched her chattering away, but he had no intention of leaving. Wan Ning turned sideways and saw his carefree smile and his nonchalant look. She was very worried for him and immediately interrupted him and said, "Don't take it lightly. The palace is not an ordinary place. I'm helping you because I see that you have a connection with me. Go quickly. We can finish our conversation inside and come out anytime."

Little Curly then slowly opened his mouth and deliberately asked, "Is that the Queen Mother in there?"

"Wow, you're well-informed." Wan Ning showed her appreciation and then asked, "What else do you know?"

Little Curly turned his back, looking thoughtful, and suddenly turned around to look at Wan Ning proudly, saying, "I also know that the road you pointed out to me just now does not lead to a sparsely populated area. It passes through the emperor's bedroom, and the guards are very strict."

Having her thoughts exposed in front of her, Wan Ning pretended to be calm and confused: "Oh, when was it changed? I remember that it was sparsely populated before. Maybe the information I got is too old. Sorry."

"Then your information is quite old. It has been in this pattern since the construction of the Chu Kingdom Palace. I'm selling you such old information. Next time you encounter such a thing, ask me!" He said arrogantly, "I know everything. I also know that the conversation in the room has already been completed. I am deliberately trying to intimidate you."

After hearing so much information, Wan Ning realized that he was no ordinary thief and immediately asked, "Curly-haired thief, who are you?"

Before he could answer, the nanny who had not returned home came in late. Seeing the two of them, she quickened her pace. Her feet were busy balancing on each other, and her clothes and the pearls on her head were also rising and falling. Wan Ning glanced at the little curly-haired boy beside him with concern. He was very calm and not panicked. He waited for the nanny to walk up to the two of them and bowed separately, saying, "Princess Le Yan has been waiting for a long time. Good luck to Prince Mu Xun."

"King Mu Xun?" Wan Ning muttered in her heart: "Mu Xiu, Mu Ren, Mu Xun? Listening to these names, could he be the nephew of King Tu Mo?"

While Wan Ning was still lost in thought, the little curly-haired boy had already changed his expression to a harmless one, pretending to be weak. He spoke softly and well-behaved, which was the most pleasing to people of his age. He looked pitiful and defended himself, "Mammy, I just arrived and couldn't find the way. After seeing the Queen Mother, I stayed here for a while longer. I didn't know that the princess was in front of me. How rude."

The nanny smiled and responded repeatedly: "It's okay, Prince Lao, wait a moment, I will take you back."

Wan Ning sneered in her heart, thinking that the fawning look really made him look like a puppy, and with the curly hair style, he looked like a little Bichon Frise.

"Then thank you, Madam." He bowed to the Madam, showing her full respect, and the Madam also smiled happily.

"Ahem," Wan Ning interrupted impatiently, saying, "Mammy, Mammy, can I go see the Queen Mother?"

The nanny then remembered and pointed to the door and said reluctantly, "Okay, Princess, please come in. The Queen Mother is in the room."

Wan Ning didn't want to continue watching this flattering scene, so she rolled her eyes, picked up her skirt and walked around him into the house. Although she was not sure about the purpose of the Queen Mother calling her this time, it was nothing more than a selection of contestants or Feiyu's return to Nanye to visit her relatives. So she walked in calmly. As soon as she came in, she could see the Queen Mother sitting in the center. She unexpectedly changed into a gorgeous dress many years ago in order to meet the envoy of Tu Mo. There was a gorgeous silk cloth on her head, casting a shadow on the upper half of her face, making her look unfathomable.

Wan Ning rubbed her eyes, and then she could see the serious expression on her face - it was rare for her to have any expression other than a friendly one. When Wan Ning walked in, the door behind her was closed from the outside. She pretended to be calm and saluted: "Hello, Queen Mother. May you be blessed with good health. I wonder why you summoned Yanyan here today?"

At the same time, Wan Ning's eyes moved around the room urgently. Suddenly, she saw a scroll on the table next to the Queen Mother that looked very familiar. She wondered if the curly-haired puppy had complained to the Queen Mother, so she deliberately came to question him. So she frantically thought of an excuse to explain this matter.

"Kneel down!" the Queen Mother said suddenly.

Wan Ning was panicked and stood there motionless. She opened her mouth but was yet to speak when the empress dowager suddenly and angrily threw the bracelet off her hand, landing right in front of Wan Ning.

The Queen Mother pointed at her angrily and said, "Look, look carefully, this is a relic left by your mother. She risked her life to give birth to you, is it just to make you do the thing she hates the most? Are you worthy of your mother?"

Wan Ning didn't understand why, but she stubbornly picked up the bracelet in front of her and put it on her wrist. She really didn't understand what she had done. She retorted: "Whether it is right or not, it is up to my mother to say, but she has been gone for many years, how can the Queen Mother know her opinion?"

The Queen Mother was very angry and asked, "She is my sister, how could I not understand her? She is the most observant of etiquette. If she knew that you did such a rebellious thing, she would be very sad. Since she cannot discipline you, it is natural for me, your elder sister, to do it for her."

Being questioned by the Queen Mother for no reason, Wan Ning was not the type to take a loss with words, and she would definitely return it tenfold. She deliberately raised her wrist, the bracelet she had just put on was particularly shiny, and asked: "Queen Mother, does this look good on my wrist? If my mother in heaven saw it, she would definitely be pleased, after all, the Queen Mother educated Yan'er so well. Just now, the Queen Mother said that Yan'er did something treasonous, I don't know where to start. I have been talking about civilization and setting a new trend recently, and I dare not speak loudly. I really dare not do anything treasonous. Even if there are such rumors, you have to provide evidence."

The Queen Mother sneered, wrinkling her eyes indifferently, and asked, "You still dare to ask for evidence? An ordinary girl would be too embarrassed to face people if such a thing happened. I didn't deal with it publicly for your sake, but you still dare to ask for evidence. Yan'er, do you really have to make it public?"

It was probably groundless. Wan Ning would never allow anyone to throw dirty water on her without scruples. If anyone wanted to do this, they would have to throw the dirty water back. The method of self-innocence is too tiring. Wan Ning stepped forward and tried to defend herself. She asked: "Your Majesty, if there is no evidence, isn't it a false accusation? Even if it is a false accusation, we have to abide by the basic law and have a legitimate reason. In the country of Chu, can you nail someone to the rack of shame just by casually saying that a girl has done something extremely treasonous? Even if you want to convict me, you have to tell me what crime I have committed!"

Seeing that Wan Ning was firm in her attitude, unlike her previous attitude of letting others manipulate her due to her resigned heart, the Queen Mother waved to the maid beside her and ordered, "Go, present it."

The Queen Mother turned to Wan Ning and said, "Since you want evidence without shame, I don't have to worry about you. You are the princess of the Chu Kingdom and the emperor's aunt, but you are secretly having an affair with him and have done such an incestuous thing without any regard for the ancestral laws and etiquette! You are shameless, and the royal dignity cannot be trampled on by you. Do you know that right now, outside the palace, the streets and alleys are talking about your case the most."

The relationship between the two and Ziheng was relatively low-key, and not many people around them knew about it. Although they were close, in the eyes of others, they were just good friends. Moreover, one of them was the emperor. If they were not absolutely sure, how could they dare to make rumors about the emperor? Wan Ning's head "buzzed" and she could not hear what the queen mother said next. She repeated loudly subconsciously:

"Where's the evidence? I want evidence!"
