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

The hooves of the horses made a clattering sound on the long bluestone floor. There were few people on the empty streets, and the vendors carrying shoulder poles were in a hurry. Finally, the carriage stopped at an empty alley. Wan Tao opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage, followed by Meng Zhu and Wan Ning.

Meng Zhu stood in the box, looking around anxiously, hoping to see Mu Xun. Wan Ning was afraid that she would feel lost, so she put her arms around her shoulders from behind and comforted her: "Curly-haired puppy... No... Mu Xun is still in the inn right now, he doesn't know you're here."

"Then shall we go to the inn to find him now?" Meng Zhu looked up, eagerly waiting for Wan Ning's answer.

"No," Wan Ning waved her hand and said, "If we go directly to the posthouse, I'm afraid we will be too conspicuous. In less than half a day, those people in the palace will know about it."

"What should we do, sister?" Meng Zhu asked worriedly, afraid that she would not be able to see Mu Xun.

Wan Ning said with a wicked smile: "Just wait and see, come with me!"

Several waiters in the restaurant were yawning and listlessly cleaning the tables in the middle of the restaurant. Some of them were kneeling on the floor wiping the stains on the floor with rags. One of the waiters casually placed a few cups on the table and was stopped by the older steward: "Hey, what's wrong with you? Put it away. What will other guests think if they see you later?"

The waiter reluctantly went back to rearrange the dishes, yawning and complaining, "There are no customers this early in the morning. Even if there were, they are all sleeping upstairs. These young men are sleeping with beauties upstairs, leaving us to wait on them."

"Hey!" The manager called the waiter back and scolded him with a dark face, "What are you talking about? Do you still want to save your life? Be careful of your mouth. When you die, there won't even be anyone to collect your body!"

Although the waiter was not convinced, he had to bow his head and admit his mistake because the steward was right. At this time, the half-closed door was opened from the outside. The steward ignored the waiter and looked at the three girls. They were unfamiliar and it was their first time. He smiled and immediately greeted them and bowed, very politely: "Is it your first time, three guests?"

Wan Ning nodded: "Boss, you have good eyesight."

"Because the shop is not open yet, everyone is still cleaning up and the chef hasn't arrived yet. In order to avoid affecting your customer experience, why don't you go to other shops nearby and have a seat first?" The manager drove the guests out.

Wan Ning took out some silver from her pocket and handed it to the steward, pretending to be pitiful and said, "We have already looked around and other restaurants are not open yet. The three of us sisters are tired from walking and just want to have some tea and rest. We don't need a chef to cook for us. Just give us a table and a pot of hangover tea."

As she said this, she bypassed the steward, took Wan Tao and Meng Zhu upstairs and found a table to sit down.

"Come here, serve the three ladies a pot of good tea and hangover soup."

"Sister, why do you want hangover soup?" Meng Zhu asked in confusion.

Wan Ning smiled and asked Meng Zhu, "Did your brother like to drink in the past?"

Mengzhu shook his head like a rattle, recalling the past, and said, "No, he drank my aunt's wine by mistake at a banquet before, and vomited it on the spot, crying and saying that he would never drink again."

Wan Ning sighed and said, "It seems like you two really haven't seen each other for many years. He is no longer the naive little boy he was back then."

Mengzhu didn't understand what she was saying, his eyes were full of confusion and curiosity, and he asked, "What?"

"You'll know when you see him later."

Meng Zhu looked around the restaurant. Compared to the regular and ordinary first floor, the second floor was full of pink gauze and fragrant. Although she didn't know what it was for, she felt it was very strange and unfamiliar. She began to wonder in her heart: "Is Brother Mu Xun really here?"

"Sir, please enjoy the tea you ordered." The person who served the tea was the waiter who had just been complained about. He put his food down and prepared to leave, but was stopped by Wan Ning.

"Hey, young man, do you often have people staying on the second floor?"

The waiter instantly became alert and asked her with squinted eyes: "Why are you asking this? Who is this guest?"

Wan Ning pointed at herself, took out some silver and stuffed it into his pocket, saying, "Can't you tell who we are? We are here to arrest my lover. My lover used to be very good to me, but now he has a new lover and he has disappeared innocently. Young masters are always so irresponsible! It's okay that he treats me badly, but my sister is in poor health, and we have to find him to pay for her medical expenses."

Wan Tao understood what he meant. She covered her heart with one hand and put the other hand against her head, pretending to cough.

The waiter was already dissatisfied with these idle young men, not to mention that he could earn money and help others, so he felt sympathy. He leaned over and quietly pointed to the rooms on the second floor, whispering, "Girl, those who stay overnight and drink are all over there. Go and look for the unfaithful man one by one. Oh, and be quiet, don't let the steward hear you."

"Oh, by the way, you can go after I leave." The waiter took a few steps away and then turned back to give instructions. Wan Ning nodded repeatedly.

"Drinking wine? Humph, he came back from the palace dizzy yesterday, and he can actually come to drink wine." Wan Ning muttered softly. She stood up and told Meng Zhu to wait for them here, and then said to Wan Tao: "Bring the hangover soup, Wan Tao, follow me."

Wan Ning was thinking bad things. Last time she went to the post house, she was teased by the curly-haired dog, so she was waiting for a chance to take revenge. She secretly sent someone to investigate Mu Xun's itinerary. It was not easy to do it in the palace or the post house, so this restaurant was the best place.

She peeked through the windows one by one, or gently knocked on the door, and the people inside asked impatiently, "Who is disturbing my sweet dream?"

Judging from the sound, it was a curly-haired puppy. She answered outside the door, "Room service." Then she changed to the next room. A row of people came over and none of them were there. There was only one left, and Wan Ning didn't plan to knock on the door. She tiptoed to open the window and quietly climbed over, ignoring Wan Tao's worries. Just when she landed safely and thought she had succeeded, someone suddenly grabbed her hand from behind. She turned around and lost her direction, and then someone held one of her hands against the wall.

"It's you! What are you doing here?" The person who came was Mu Xun. He was only wearing his underwear, and his hair was curlier than usual after just waking up.

Wan Ning was not justified but also very angry, regretting that her plan had failed again, and replied: "I'm here to bring you the hangover soup. You didn't drink enough at the banquet last night, so you must have drunk a lot of wine after returning home!"

Wan Ning looked over his shoulder and saw a woman lying on the bed. Her clothes were a little messy but still intact. She had a delicate face and was sleeping soundly. She didn't wake up even with such a loud noise. Wan Ning stretched out her relatively free hand towards the window, and Wan Tao placed the hangover soup safely in Wan Ning's hand from outside the window.

She handed the hangover soup to Mu Xun, and said jokingly with a sly smile: "Prince Mu Xun is so lucky. You had a beautiful woman to accompany you last night. You must have had a good rest. I wonder if you still need this bowl of hangover soup."

Mu Xun let go of his hand, used his fingers to tidy up his hair and clothes, and returned to his usual appearance. But his expression was more serious than usual, no longer laughing and dazed. He directly picked up the hangover soup, walked straight to the bed, supported the woman's neck with one hand, and poured the soup in the bowl into her.

"You haven't told me what you are here for?" Mu Xun asked unhappily.

Wan Ning clapped her hands, turned her back to open the door, and said, "Pack up, Meng Zhu is outside, she wants to see you."

Mu Xun froze in place, and the hand that was feeding the sobering soup accidentally poured a large mouthful of it into the woman on the bed, causing her to choke and stutter. Seeing that she was fine, Mu Xun put down the soup bowl, picked up his coat, and hurriedly walked towards Wan Ning while tidying up his clothes.

"Sister Mengzhu, are you okay?"
