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

dong dong dong-

There were three sudden knocks on the door in the quiet alley. Then the door opened and Tang Xiaoyou stuck his head out, but saw no one.

"Xiaoyou, who is it?" Then Liu Qingquan's questioning voice came from the room.

Tang Xiaoyou turned his head and said soothingly: "No one, just study hard, I'll see who dares to disturb you!"

After saying that, Tang Xiaoyou walked out of the door with her hands on her hips, looking very unhappy. If she was caught by her, she would be in big trouble. Before she could get angry this time, she found a square letter pressed by stones on the floor in advance, and quickly picked it up and called Liu Qingquan over: "Liu Qingquan, someone sent you a letter, come out and take a look."

Hearing this, Liu Qingquan was full of doubts, but after all, he had read more books and was much more calm than before, and his actions became more like a scholar. Liu Qingquan took it and opened it immediately. In addition to the letter, there was also an unopened envelope. When he lowered his head to read the contents above, Tang Xiaoyou looked around to see if the person who sent the letter was around.

After reading the contents of the letter, Liu Qingquan immediately ran towards the alley entrance in a hurry. Tang Xiaoyou hurriedly followed behind him and asked, "Hey, why are you running? What did the letter say? But the matter of the Liu Mansion, is it your uncle?"

"Hey, why do you always follow me?" Liu Qingquan was a little impatient and spoke a little hastily.

"I care about you, otherwise what can I do!" Although Tang Xiaoyou tolerated his temper at this time, he would not suffer any loss himself.

Realizing that he had spoken out of turn, Liu Qingquan immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, I was too harsh. This letter was sent by Princess Le Yan, and it also contains an additional letter of recommendation. She asked me to take this letter to see Lord Wang Ji, and then Lord Wang can keep me by his side."

"That's great!" Tang Xiaoyou was immediately happy for him: "Haven't you always wanted to be an official? With Lord Wang's help, it will soon be possible. But why do you look so sad?"

Liu Qingquan shook his head and explained, "Prince Qi suddenly took everyone away from Nanye City. I guess something must have happened in the palace. I haven't heard from the princess for a long time. Now she sent this recommendation letter in the middle of the night. She must have her own reasons. No, I have to find her."

Wan Ning, who was at the end of the alley, witnessed all this and felt relieved. She turned around and found that Wan Tao was carrying a package. This was not in line with her original plan. Although this escape was carefully planned, she did not pack anything in order to ensure that it went smoothly and did not arouse suspicion from others.

"Thank you for your hard work, Wan Tao." However, Wan Ning didn't have the energy to trace when she packed her luggage and what she brought. She simply thanked her, took her wrist and walked towards the city gate: "Let's hurry up and leave the city, and have a good rest after leaving the city."

"Princess!" Wan Tao looked embarrassed and called her hesitantly, then she told her about the changes in Nanye City: "Now all the gates of Nanye City have to be closed at night, and now you can't leave the city."

Wan Ning was obviously a little shocked by this sudden change, but she quickly accepted the reality, and her bitterness turned into a smile on her face. She asked calmly, "When was the decision made?"

"That night, Prince Qi took Concubine Lan out of the palace and took everyone in Prince Qi's mansion out of the city and returned to Northern Qi. To prevent such a thing from happening again, the Emperor ordered all the city gates to be closed at night, including that small gate." Wan Tao added: "Princess, what should we do now?"

"Now that things have come to this, let's find a place to stay for the night, and leave the city tomorrow as soon as the gates open. Wan Tao, do you have any money left?"

"Yes, yes." Wan Tao took out a silver ingot from her bag and handed it to Wan Ning: "Yes."

The people who were about to flee did not dare to stay at the inn, so they found a small shop and rented a room to stay in. As soon as they entered the room, Wan Ning was very alert and suggested that they take turns to rest tonight, leaving one person to keep watch.

Wan Tao naturally had no objection to such a proposal, but she wanted to let Wan Ning have a good rest, so she put down her luggage and made the bed as soon as she entered the room. After a day of high tension, Wan Ning could finally relax a little. She sat at the table, drank water and planned tomorrow's actions. Suddenly she looked up, and Wan Tao's package attracted her attention.

The cloth used for wrapping was a style she had never seen before, and even the way it was packed was different from what Wan Tao had done before. More importantly, she had only learned about Wan Ning's escape plan today, so how could she have the time to make these preparations?

Wan Ning drank tea while carefully examining the package. She glanced at Wan Tao who was making the bed, and finally asked, "Wan Tao, what's in your package?"

Wan Tao immediately became nervous, stopped what she was doing, turned around and walked to the table, quietly held the package in her arms, and put it under the pillow on the bed. After doing all this, she answered slowly: "Nothing, just some things you need outside. It's late at night, Princess, go to bed early, we have to travel tomorrow."

"You go to sleep first. I can't sleep now, so I'll stay here for a while. We'll switch when you wake up." Wan Ning continued to sit at the table and suggested, "By the way, Wan Tao, don't call me princess when you go out. From today on, there will be no such person as princess. From now on, you can call me Su Wan Ning."

"Su-Wan-Ning," Wan Tao repeated softly word by word.

Afraid that she would think too much and not wanting to explain, Wan Ning smiled and added casually: "It's a stage name. You always have to have a fake name when you go out. You can call me this from now on."

Wan Tao nodded, but her expression could not be seen clearly under the veil.

After an unknown amount of time, Wan Ning heard someone talking outside the door. Suddenly, she woke up from her dream and realized that she had fallen asleep at the table. Wan Tao was also too sleepy and had not woken up yet. Seeing that it was bright outside, Wan Ning was shocked and thought that it was over. It would be more difficult to leave the city. She just hoped that no one in the palace would notice that Xiang Wanxuan had lost two people.

Wan Ning quickly woke up Wan Tao and hurriedly prepared to change into unfamiliar clothes to avoid being recognized.

At this time, the people outside the door were still talking. They talked more and more excitedly, and their words naturally reached Wan Ning's ears in the room.

"Have you heard? Things have changed," said one of them.

"What's changed? It's the same as yesterday." The other person was still in a daze.

"Alas, you, I mean that the situation in the palace has changed. I heard that the emperor passed away last night, and the retired emperor had to come out to take charge of the situation."

Wan Ning was struck by lightning. The words "The Emperor has passed away" firmly gripped her heart. She leaned closer to the door to hear more clearly. The person outside the door continued to ask, "How did you know?"

"Hey, you just don't care about important things. This morning, the emperor has announced to the world that it is the real news. If you don't believe it, go and see now. The imperial edict is still hanging at the city gate."

Wan Ning was extremely anxious and could not wait even a second to confirm the news, but the moment she opened the door she heard the man add something.

"Not only the emperor, I heard that even Princess Le Yan is missing, and the emperor has sent people to look for her everywhere. If they find her, there will definitely be a big reward, otherwise we brothers should try our luck too."
