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

At the ruined temple on the other side, the grandmother lit a fire on the rice field outside the house and was busy making pancakes while it was still light at night. Douzi, who was sleeping in the house, woke up and didn't see the grandmother. He rubbed his eyes and went out sleepily.

"Grandma, why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Grandma changed her usual stern attitude and continued making pancakes with her hands. She turned around and replied lovingly, "Oh, our Douzi is awake. Grandma is making pancakes for you!"

Douzi excitedly rushed to her mother-in-law, rolled up his sleeves and wanted to help, and shouted happily: "It's white flour cakes. Douzi likes the cakes made by grandma the most. But grandma, why do you have to make so many? Don't we have no money?"

Grandma handed the firewood to Douzi and arranged for him to do this job, explaining: "Because Douzi's birthday is in two days, and Grandma knows that Douzi likes to eat cakes, I will prepare 100 cakes for Douzi, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Douzi immediately gave up the idea of ​​stealing a piece of cake and obediently put it on the ground and tried to make the fire burn: "Then I will help grandma to light the fire, so that grandma can finish her work early and rest."

"Okay, Bean is so good."

In the quiet night, accompanied by the croaking of frogs, the two of them devoutly threw their arms for the 100 cakes. Grandma vaguely saw a figure running up and down in the moonlight. She was worried that it was a wild boar that was going to ruin her newly made cakes, so she hurriedly called Douzi to look together: "Douzi, Douzi, come and look, what is that?"

Douzi picked up one end of the burning stick and stood in front of his grandmother to protect it, staring at it with wide eyes. Children have good eyesight, and he turned his head and replied, "Grandma, it seems to be Sister Wantao next to the beautiful sister."

"Wan Tao?" The mother-in-law's heart immediately rose in her throat. She had been very nervous these past two days, fearing that something unexpected would happen. But seeing the anxious look on that figure's face, she knew that something must be a big deal. She pushed Douzi aside and took a step forward, looking hard in that direction, muttering softly, "Why is she here now? Has the plan changed?"

"Granny, Granny," Wan Tao finally came to Granny, breathing heavily, stretched out her hand to hold Granny's wrist, and said breathlessly: "Pass on the princess' order, the plan is advanced...advance to tonight...go to the mass grave immediately and wait...no...no mistakes."

After confirming her guess, the mother-in-law appeared very calm, silently put down her rolled-up sleeves, and handed the rolling pin to Douzi. But her hurried steps still exposed her nervousness, and she walked out without daring to delay the princess's important event, but was grabbed by Douzi's sleeve.

"Mother-in-law, where are you going? Aren't you going to make pancakes?"

"Make it, make it. Grandma will definitely make the 100 pancakes for Douzi as promised. Now grandma has something to go out for, so you just stay at home with Sister Wantao, okay?" the grandma comforted.

Douzi seemed a little unhappy, but she didn't dare to disobey her mother-in-law. She pursed her lips, looking very aggrieved, and grabbed her mother-in-law's clothes and refused to let go.

"Wan Tao, let's go with you. It's good to have someone to help you." Wan Tao suggested.

But when the mother-in-law saw that Wantao's clothes were torn and the hems of her skirt were covered with mud, she thought that it must be very hard for a palace maid like her to go on this journey. She also thought that Wantao was not part of the plan, so she did not dare to take her there rashly, so she found an excuse to send her back: "Douzi is timid, Miss Lao Wantao will stay here to accompany him, and I will go by myself."

After watching her mother-in-law leave, Douzi was unwilling to go to sleep and waited outside the door for her to come back. Wantao had no choice but to take over her mother-in-law's position and start making pancakes while looking at the unfinished pancakes.

Fortunately, the mother-in-law had replayed this matter countless times in her mind, and the location of the mass grave was not too far from her home. An old lady did her best to rush there. Then she found a bush to hide, subconsciously touching the things in her pocket, but she waited and waited for a long time and it was already past the agreed time, and no one came.

"Is things not going well for the princess?" The mother-in-law waited quietly.

It was not until the night was about to end in the east that human sounds were heard in the mass grave, including rustling footsteps and complaints.

"What kind of fate do we have to come to this mass grave at this time?"

"Stop talking, find a place to throw it away and report back," another person replied.

"But don't we have to bury the lives we have taken? If we just throw them away like this and they find out about it later, what will we do?"

"Humph, who will investigate? They were not taken seriously when they were alive, and they can't expect someone to settle the score with them after they die."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of something falling to the ground. Another person also threw something away and muttered, "Then I'll listen to you. Let's go quickly. The yin energy here is too strong. Come with me to have a drink, and I'll be back tomorrow morning to report."

"Let's go, let's go. It's a pity for these three women. They are beautiful but have bad lives."

After they walked away, the grandmother appeared hurriedly, groping forward to look at the appearance of the bodies. After confirming that they looked exactly as Wan Ning had described, she found that there were only three people. The situation was urgent, and the grandmother fumbled out a black pill from her pocket. She knew that the pill was precious and she was even more nervous.

With one hand, she lifted up the body of a woman with difficulty. Her fingers holding the pills trembled, and she couldn't feed them into her mouth. The round pills fell to the ground and instantly became indistinguishable from the small mud beads. Fortunately, there was one more pill, and the mother-in-law successfully fed all the pills.

According to the princess's original instructions, the medicine would take effect very quickly once taken. But now, when it was almost dawn, there was still no sign of recovery. If she waited until dawn, she was afraid that she would be discovered and it would bring danger to the princess. But if she left like this, she was afraid that the three girls would really lose their lives.

It was neither possible to leave nor to stay, and the old and frail mother-in-law was unable to drag anyone.

When they cried to the heavens and the earth for help, a young man in green clothes and carrying a medicine box suddenly jumped out from the bushes. With a serious expression, he went straight to the mother-in-law's position, knelt on the ground to check their conditions, and took out white powder from the small medicine box and sprinkled it on their philtrum. The effect was immediate. The chests of the three women who had stopped breathing began to rise and fall and they began to cough.

"Empress Yu, Empress Yu," the man held one of the women in his arms and called her gently. Seeing her respond, he was very happy: "You're awake."

"This is where?"

The mother-in-law was afraid that she would be snatched alive by this unknown man, so she immediately pulled the woman out of his arms and replied with a smile: "Mass grave!"

The three women who had just woken up were panicked. They looked around until they confirmed that this was a mass grave. Then they asked, "Why are we here? I remember drinking a few glasses of wine with my sisters at night. I was dizzy and fell asleep a long time ago. How come we are here?"

"Yes, how come I woke up here? Doctor Cui, do you know?"

Before she could answer, Concubine Ru was the first to notice that someone was missing and shouted, "Concubine Yi, Sister Concubine Yi is not here!"
