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

"Little...Miss."

Seeing Wan Ning's distraught look, Wan Tao was very worried, but she couldn't say any words of comfort. She just called her softly twice.

Wan Ning took a deep breath, wiped the tears with her sleeve, and forced a bitter smile through her red and bitter eyes. She stood up and shrugged, saying, "Let's go. Ziheng kept it a secret from me because he was afraid that I wouldn't leave. We can't let his efforts go to waste. An innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure. It's inevitable that someone will miss him on the road with so much money, which will be inconvenient. Wan Tao, give these extra gold leaves and jewelry to Liu Qingquan. I believe he will take care of them."

"Yes!"

After calming down for a while, Wan Ning and Wan Tao went to the street again. They found a tea stall and waited for Princess He Jing to enter the city. People around them were in a hurry. They had recovered from the shock of the emperor's death and returned to their usual lives. They still exchanged palace secrets and gossip heard from others to exchange a little fun in life.

The vendor behind him sighed quietly: "Oh, the emperor is so young, how could he be gone?"

Another vendor chimed in: "Who says it's not true? I would say that everyone has a certain amount of happiness to enjoy, and when they have enjoyed it, they will die. Who made him so unlucky!"

"Is the Emperor still unlucky? Look at how pretty those ladies who participated in the pageant are!" someone else sighed.

"Oh, by the way, the emperor is gone, what should we do with these concubines?"

"Hey, why are you so worried? It's not our turn to worry about this kind of thing. The emperor is gone, so we can just elect a new emperor."

"Oh, you are incredible today. You dare to say such a head-losing thing. However, the emperor has not married yet, and has no children. Who will take the throne?"

The other person snorted coldly, and when everyone's eyes were focused on him, he explained, "You don't know about that, right? I have a relative whose neighbor's nephew is an official in the court. I heard that they have issued a notice, and now all matters are handed over to the emperor. He is called the emperor, but in fact he is the emperor in name only."

"Hey, how do you know so much!"

They were talking excitedly. The stall owner was worried that they would say such treasonous words and implicate him, so he hurried forward to drive them away: "Go away, go away, this is a place for tea and food, if you want to talk about these things, go to the court. Be careful that you will lose your tongue one day!"

After being poured with cold water and feeling bored, the group of people dispersed.

Her ears were quiet, but she still heard what the group of people said. If she left in a hurry, what would happen to the group of concubines?

"Gentlemen, is the tea you ordered ready?"

"Thank you, boss. Do you know when Princess Hejing will come?"

The vendor looked up at the sunlight and smiled: "It seems that the time is almost up. Look over there, the Tumo princess has been waiting here for a long time."

Wan Ning followed his gaze and saw a huge sedan parked there, surrounded by many people. Wan Ning turned around, picked up the teacup and took a sip, but was attacked by the unpalatable taste.

I was shocked: "No way, is there really anyone who would buy something this bad? If I set up a stall downstairs in my neighborhood, I probably wouldn't be able to sell a single serving. If I don't go bankrupt, my identity will be questioned!"

Forget it, at this special moment, I won't ask for so much, because this stall is the most hidden. It's a good place to observe the situation without being discovered.

Wan Ning's eyes darted around, observing every move outside, planning the route she would take later. At this moment, there was a sound of horse hooves on the street, and Wan Ning looked towards the sound, only to see an old acquaintance, Fang He, who was leading the listless Xingxing to the clinic across the street.

"Why is he here?" Wan Ning muttered softly. Thinking back to the last time they met in the suburbs, he and Meng Zhu rode horses in the sunset, so youthful and happy. But she soon realized that Fang He also came back from the military camp to visit his family, and today was the day for him to leave.

Wan Tao happened to see this scene and explained, "That was originally a veterinary clinic. Master Fang brought the horse here because Xingxing was sick."

"The horse is listless, that must be the case. He is very considerate. He has to leave the city to follow the troops to the military camp today, and now he has time to take care of the horse. Mengzhu really did not entrust the task to the wrong person."

The two of them waited patiently, and suddenly there was a sound of gongs in the crowd, followed by a loud shout: "Princess Hejing is here, everyone get out of the way..."

After hearing this, pedestrians on both sides of the road retreated to the sides of the road, instantly giving way to the main road. Then the musical instrument team came out, beating gongs and drums, and various musical instruments were played.

"Miss?" Seeing Wan Ning staring intently, Wan Tao called out with concern.

Wan Ning turned around and leaned close to her ear, whispering in explanation: "I was just thinking that Princess He Jing's return to the city was much more spectacular than when I came. What a loss."

Since she could still joke at this time, Wan Tao felt relieved for the time being.

The band played for about ten minutes, and then two cars appeared side by side, each with a huge horn-like object. There were two people standing on the car, with puffed cheeks like goldfish, blowing a dull and solemn sound. After this, a team of maids appeared. They were wearing traditional Tumo costumes and each of them held the necessities of Princess Hejing in their hands, showing everywhere how much she was valued in Tumo.

Finally, Princess Hejing finally arrived, in a huge sedan chair that required sixteen strong men to carry. The sedan chair was tied with flowing ribbons that swayed left and right with the shaking of the sedan chair, which was very beautiful. Princess Hejing sat in the middle of the sedan chair, her shadow looming in the middle of the floating ribbons.

"Look at this grand ceremony. I heard that she was unwilling to go to marry at that time. If she didn't go, how could she have such a glorious time in Nanye!" The gossipy peddler began to chatter again. It seemed that he knew a thing or two about what happened back then.

Looking at the other side, the soldiers who had been surrounding them also dispersed, and the shadow of Mengzhu riding a horse could be vaguely seen. Mu Xiu beside her could see it clearly. As the prince and princess of Tumo, it was reasonable for them to come here specially to greet Tumo's princess today.

It would be a rare opportunity to see them again, and she wanted to take one more look at them, but time waits for no one, and if she misses the opening time of the city gate, she will lose the chance to leave the city. So Wan Ning pulled Wan Tao up, left money for tea, and quietly walked towards the city gate from the crowd on both sides of the road.

Just after taking a few steps, there was a sudden neighing of a horse behind her, followed by a noise. Wan Ning turned around and saw Meng Zhu's horse raised its front legs as if startled, and then kicked its hooves forward and rushed towards the princess' sedan chair.

When passing by Wan Ning, she seemed to hear Meng Zhu shouting "Father!", but soon the sound disappeared. Wan Ning thought she had heard it wrong.

At this time, perhaps the neighing of the horse resonated with the horses in the veterinary clinic, and suddenly a silver horse rushed out of the veterinary clinic, followed by Su He's anxious figure. He tried desperately to stop Xingxing. But Xingxing, who saw his master, was out of control and ran quickly towards Mengzhu.

As she was talking, Mengzhu had already arrived in front of Princess Hejing's sedan chair on horseback. Although she tried her best to pull the reins, she couldn't calm the horse down. When they were only one step away, the horse raised its front legs and took Mengzhu into the air, as if trying to jump over the huge sedan chair.

whoosh-

A strange sound passed by Wan Ning's ears. Before she could distinguish it, Meng Zhu, who was riding a horse, suddenly let go of the reins and fell off the horse. When Wan Ning saw it clearly, there was an arrow stuck in Meng Zhu's chest, blood stained her clothes, and even blood was flowing from the corners of her mouth. She lay on the ground, her mouth opened and closed, but she couldn't say anything.

Wan Tao, who was standing by, reacted very quickly and pulled Wan Ning away, who was standing there in a daze. Behind them came the shouts of the people, the sound of soldiers drawing their swords, and anxious reports: "There is an assassin, there is an assassin!"
