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

It’s better to just do it in one go. After the food is safely delivered, Wan Ning will return to the palace to rest.

So after bidding farewell to King Qi, Wan Ning excitedly rushed to the warehouse to confirm that all the food was safe and the packing work was progressing smoothly. Finally, when the sky in the east was turning pale, all the food and warm clothes were loaded into the trucks, lined up on the roadside and guarded by heavy soldiers.

The victims who had recovered for the most part also returned with them. As for the others who had not recovered and could not cope with the tiring journey, they stayed in Nanye City to recuperate and accompany Madam Liu to wait for the truth of the Liu Sir incident to be revealed. In this way, the matter was resolved to a certain extent, and Nanye City returned to its former order.

Yesterday, Wan Ning specifically told Wan Tao and others to bring out her princess's gorgeous clothes when they returned to the palace. Since the people donated food and clothes, they had to let them know where the food went and what it was used for. If there was no follow-up, people would definitely be suspicious. So she planned to hold a farewell ceremony at Liuxingtai today, firstly to let the people of the city come and watch so that they would know what was going on; secondly, to show the court's attitude and the importance it attached to this matter, so as to deter others from thinking about these things again.

After a short break, Wan Tao was very punctual and arrived at the warehouse in a carriage with the princess' most gorgeous clothes at the appointed time. Wan Ning went over excitedly, and the moment she opened the curtain, she saw two of her acquaintances in the carriage: Mu Xiu and Meng Zhu waved at her with a flattering and shy look on their faces.

Wan Ning was stunned at first, but soon recovered and got on the carriage, jokingly saying, "I didn't expect Prince Mu Xiu to be able to leave the palace today. Don't tell me he escaped?"

Mu Xiu gently nudged Meng Zhu and reminded her: "Hurry up and say hello to Princess Le Yan. She will be the one to take us out to play today."

Meng Zhu did as she was told and said to Wan Ning with expectation, "Sister Le Yan, we missed you so much when you didn't come back these few days, so we left the palace to find you. Today, I'm counting on you. Please take us to play, okay?"

Seeing Meng Zhu's well-behaved appearance, Wan Ning readily agreed and boasted that she would take them for a good walk.

"We didn't sneak out. Look what this is?" Mu Xiu took out the Queen Mother's token from his arms, showed it to Wan Ning, and then carefully put it back. "What you did outside these few days has long been reported to the palace. Now the palace is in an uproar, and everyone is cheering for you."

"Really? What do you mean inside? It's just like a prison." Wan Ning smiled sheepishly, and then looked at Wan Tao who was helping her with her makeup. After getting Wan Tao's affirmative answer, she smiled even more proudly but pretended to be reserved and said, "How can I be so embarrassed? It's just a small favor. But what does this have to do with you leaving the palace?"

Mu Xiu shook his head slightly, with a smug expression as if he didn't know this, and explained: "That's because after you became famous, you have fans in the palace and there is a lot of discussion about you, and many of them want to come out to participate in today's farewell. But we Mengzhu have a good relationship with the Queen Mother. She saw that we were so pitiful, so she specially allowed us to leave the palace and gave us this token as proof."

When Wan Ning heard about the Queen Mother, she recalled the last time she was drugged in the Queen Mother's Buddhist temple. Thinking of how she had stood by and watched indifferently, the scarred wounds on her body began to itch as if tiny bugs were crawling out of them, making her feel very uncomfortable.

Wan Ning asked unhappily, "When did the Queen Mother become so kind? I didn't expect that Prince Mu Xiu and the Queen Mother have already had such a good relationship after I left the palace for only a few days. Tell me, what trick did you use? Can you teach me?"

“This is a secret recipe passed down from my ancestors and will not be passed on to anyone else.” Mu Xiu did not comment.

"Ancestral secret recipe?" Wan Ning repeated meaningfully, looking at Mu Xiu with a smirk on his face. Just as he was about to explain, he was interrupted by Wan Ning, "Shh, Prince Mu Xiu, there is no need to explain. It is indeed inconvenient to tell others about the ancestral secret recipe."

Mu Xiu was unable to refute this remark. He stood there and watched Wan Ning get on the carriage. He shook his head helplessly and got on the carriage as well. The two of them were bickering and laughing along the way without even noticing the passing of time. Soon the carriage stopped at the edge of the Six Stars Platform.

The place was already crowded with people who came to see them off, because the victims would return to Sangcheng in batches, and the first batch would be with the soldiers escorting food, all of them were ready to go. The victims who stayed here all had tears in their eyes, reluctantly holding their loved ones' hands, mumbling something. Mostly they were saying things like be careful, don't run around, be safe, or asking them to take messages back to their hometowns.

"Princess Le Yan is here, the princess is here." Someone in the crowd first spotted the princess' carriage, and the excited shout instantly attracted the attention of everyone present. The crowd outside the carriage followed suit and shouted, "Good luck to Princess Le Yan——", with the voices getting louder and louder.

Wan Ning felt very uncomfortable in the carriage. She had not yet adapted to or was unwilling to accept being treated like this. Years of education had taught her to defend equality for all, and she felt ashamed of being treated like this. So Wan Tao got off the carriage and opened the curtain, and Wan Ning slowly got off the carriage in her princess dress. Many of the onlookers had not been able to see the princess before, and came here today to see her. So they stretched their necks in the line, but even so, everyone consciously separated to make way for Wan Ning to pass.

Instantly, countless celebrities walking on the red carpet that I had seen on social media appeared in my mind. I didn't think it was rare to be so bright and graceful before, and I had imagined that one day I could become a star and walk on the red carpet. But now that I have the opportunity to walk in the spotlight, I realize how naive my previous thoughts were.

Maintaining your own image and making yourself worthy of everyone's love is really not an easy thing, and it requires great wisdom.

So she tried her best to imitate the imagined appearance, carefully maintaining the princess's aura, and walked slowly along the passage made by the people. With a smile on her face, she withdrew the guards who intended to block her way, and greeted the people around her kindly.

Under everyone's gaze, Wan Ning climbed up the Six-Star Platform and walked to the side of the disaster victims' representatives who were already waiting there. She then took a bag of dry food prepared in advance from Wan Tao and handed it to them.

He encouraged them, "These dry food are the goodwill of the people of Nanye. Please keep them. You can use them to fill your stomach when you are tired from the journey. The food and clothes donated by the people of Nanye are also ready to be sent to Sangcheng via here soon. We believe that the disaster in Sangcheng will eventually pass, but we must not forget the friendship between Nanye and Sangcheng!"

"Friendship lasts forever! Never forget it!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was already heated, Wan Ning added: "We must also not forget the truth behind the disaster in Sangcheng. The drought is a natural disaster, but allowing it to develop without taking any action is a man-made disaster. Only by finding out the ins and outs of the man-made disaster can we prevent the same thing from happening again. Please believe in the court's determination to get to the bottom of the case."

The audience was very emotional. They had never seen such a "MLM" brainwashing scene before. They shouted enthusiastically, "Check it out! Check it out!"

Seeing that the time was ripe, Wan Ning gently raised her hand to signal the audience to be quiet, and took the opportunity to talk about Liu Xueyu: "I heard that there is a rumor circulating in Nanye City recently, about Liu Xueyu, the county magistrate of Sangcheng. It is said that he is greedy for money, lustful and currying favor with the powerful. The disaster in Sangcheng this time is precisely because of his carelessness and delay of the opportunity that it has come to this point today, isn't it?"

This rumor had long been circulated in the streets and alleys of Nanye, and everyone in the streets and alleys knew about it. However, they had never thought that the princess would actually bring this matter up and speak directly. They looked at each other and kept silent.

Looking at the disaster victims next to them, they all clenched their fists and gritted their teeth, trying not to lose their composure in public.
