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

Under the leadership of Liu Qingquan, the two went around and around and returned to Tang Xiaoyou's home.

In the early morning, the surrounding shops were not open yet and the streets were empty, but smoke was already rising from Tang Xiaoyou's house, and grandma was busy preparing breakfast in the kitchen. It was her idea to let Wan Ning stay here temporarily, so she got up early to prepare, looking at the door from time to time.

Finally, this was not a false alarm. I actually heard the sound of the door opening, and grandma walked out quickly without even putting down the rolling pin.

Wan Ning was still worried that her arrival would cause trouble to her grandmother's family, but then her grandmother came out cheerfully, smiling kindly as if there was no problem. She came forward and greeted her warmly: "I finally found you. I feel relieved at last."

"But we'll be in trouble for you here."

Without waiting for Xiaoyou's grandmother to answer, Tang Xiaoyou heard the noise outside and came out rubbing his eyes, muttering: "Grandma, why is it so lively outside?"

"Xiaoyou?"

"Sister! We are finally able to see you again. We were all very worried, but now we are finally relieved. The little fat boy you brought here, his name is... Douzi, he is always able to eat and sleep well. To give him a bath last night, grandma boiled three pots of water before she could wash it clean." Tang Xiaoyou grabbed Wan Ning's arm with one hand and held Wan Tao with the other.

"Xiaoyou, you are being unruly again. Stop standing there and go in. Breakfast will be ready soon."

After the mother-in-law finished speaking, Liu Qingquan led them into the house first. The easternmost room had been cleaned up for them. It was secluded and close to the window, so if someone searched the door, they could sneak out through the window.

Wan Ning suddenly remembered that Gao Niang's teahouse was just across the wall from here. Prince Qi suddenly left Nanye, and she must have had a hard time. Liu Qingquan knew what was on her mind, and while pouring tea for everyone, he took the initiative to talk about the recent situation of the teahouse.

"You said that the teahouse that was doing fine the day before was closed overnight. I heard that the proprietress was missing, and she didn't want the store anymore, and she didn't even mention the book, she just closed it down."

"Yes, yes," Tang Xiaoyou didn't understand, and added gossipingly, "I heard that the boss's daughter is still participating in the palace selection. Maybe he went to live with his daughter."

"How do you know her daughter went to participate in the talent show?" Gao Rulan was nominally participating in the talent show on behalf of Prince Qi's Mansion, and she had never revealed her true identity in public, so it was no wonder that Liu Qingquan had such a question.

Tang Xiaoyou took the cup that Liu Qingquan handed over, drank the water in it, and answered proudly: "Why, I can't know? Not only do I know, everyone on this street knows. Manager Gao always talks about this matter when she meets people, and she also said that her daughter will be the queen in the future. Now that the emperor is gone, there is no queen anymore!"

"Tang Xiaoyou!" Liu Qingquan knew that Wan Ning was embarrassed by her outspokenness, and was afraid that she would cause more trouble, so he called her name loudly.

"What! Why are you calling me so loudly?" Tang Xiaoyou immediately put his hands on his hips, still with that decisive look that wouldn't be bullied, and raised his voice to question Liu Qingquan.

After a few months of getting along, Liu Qingquan has realized the true meaning of getting along with her - admitting mistakes in time. This time, he still comforted Tang Xiaoyou before she got angry: "Speak louder in case you can't hear me. Grandma's meal is almost cooked. Can you go and see if she needs help, please?"

"That's the right attitude. Sisters, you guys talk first, I'll go help."

After Xiaoyou's footsteps faded away, Liu Qingquan closed the door and returned to the table to discuss their plan to leave the city with Wan Ning and Wan Tao.

"Qingquan, what is the method of leaving the city that you mentioned before? Can you make sure to get us out?" Wan Ning asked.

"Of course. After the princess left yesterday, I went to visit Lord Wang Ji, but he was too busy at the time so I didn't get to see him. I heard some news while waiting in the mansion. Princess Hejing will arrive in Nanye City in three days. The city gates will be opened to welcome her, and a ceremony will be held at the Six Stars Terrace."

Hearing the name of Princess Hejing, Wan Ning recalled the portrait of her that she had seen in Ziheng's house, and the person she had seen lingering with Mu Xiu in Yuxi Palace that day. Judging from the blue butterfly tattoo on her body, it was Princess Hejing, and she had already arrived in Nanye City.

Wan Ning nodded and said, "I think the ceremony for Princess Hejing's visit to her parents was given to me not long ago, but it didn't include the part on the Six Star Platform."

Liu Qingquan then added: "I heard that it was Princess Hejing who requested it herself, and she also asked the princess and prince from Tumo to come out to choose a husband. She said that the Tumo general who sent her here hadn't seen the prince and princess for a long time, so he specially arranged this step."

"That's strange. Never mind. What does this have to do with what you said about leaving the city?" Wan Ning asked.

"Not only that, I heard that another group of soldiers were allowed to come back to visit their families before the Dragon Boat Festival, and they will also return in three days. With all these things happening together, that day will definitely be very chaotic. I will prepare clothes for you two in advance. When the time comes, you can dress up as vegetable vendors and follow the main force to leave in the chaos." Liu Qingquan asked anxiously, "Princess, what do you think?"

Wan Ning and Wan Tao looked at each other, and they were speechless. There was really no better way at this moment, so they could only wait a little longer. They just hoped that in these three days, the soldiers would not discover their whereabouts.

"Princess, please don't show up for the time being. Just wait in this room. I will take care of other things."

"Thank you!"

Wan Ning, who was hiding here, didn't know how much the emperor hated her now. He was determined to find her and cut her into pieces. Now he has increased the intensity of the search. That night, the sound of soldiers searching door to door was heard. Fortunately, they were well prepared and hid Wan Ning and Wan Tao in advance. Tang Xiaoyou and grandma said a few words and hid away. Everything went smoothly.

After waiting anxiously for a long time, the third day finally arrived. Wan Ning and Wan Tao changed into the prepared clothes early in the morning. Especially Wan Tao, the veil she usually wore was too conspicuous, so this time she changed the veil into a coarse cloth headscarf, which completely covered her hair and cheeks. The coarse cloth with patches made Wan Tao look more noble and her temperament more prominent.

Wan Ning packed up and was about to leave, but when she turned around, she saw Wan Tao still carrying the package, which was really inconsistent with her current outfit and temperament. She stopped her and suggested, "Wan Tao, let's take out the valuables and put them on your body. You can buy other things after you leave the city. It's too obvious to carry this package all the time."

But Wan Tao stood there for a long while, with a hesitant expression, which made Wan Ning think that she was just reluctant to leave, so she joked with her, "Thank God Xiang Wanxuan is notoriously poor and doesn't have many valuables. It's important to leave the city now."

"Yeah," Wan Tao replied, walked hesitantly to the table, and lowered her head to untie the knot of the package.

After the package was opened, Wan Ning found out that there were countless valuable gold and silver items inside, and even a thick stack of gold leaves. Wan Ning was shocked and searched through it to confirm that none of them belonged to Xiang Wanxuan. Suddenly, she saw the butterfly jade pendant among them.

Wan Ning's hands were shaking as she couldn't believe her eyes. She was very sure that she had secretly stuffed the butterfly jade pendant into Ziheng's body when she said goodbye to him.

She picked up the jade pendant and seemed to see Ziheng smiling at her, with his arms open like before. Suddenly her eyes became red and she felt sore. Wan Ning stroked the jade pendant with her fingers and asked, "Wan Tao, what's going on?"
