After traveling through time, I became the aunt of the loyal dog emperor
Chapter 54 The Price of Fame
When all emotions reach their peak, that's when you get a wake-up call.
"Of course I have heard this statement before, but after confirming it with the people of Sangcheng, I learned that this statement is completely nonsense and contrary to the truth. This statement is also extremely irresponsible, and it has caused an honest official to suffer an unjust accusation, and it has caused serious harm to his family."
"It's easy to spread rumors, all it takes is one simple sentence, but finding out the truth behind it requires careful investigation and evidence, which will definitely take more time and effort. Disaster relief is the most urgent task right now, and finding out the truth is also important. I beg you to give the truth some more time and don't believe these unfounded words. Can you do that?"
As soon as Wan Ning finished speaking, the audience burst into voices of support again. Some businessmen who received the grain donation prize said on the spot that they would come back to receive the prize on the day when the truth was revealed in order to support the investigation of the facts. Everyone followed suit.
Wan Ning was very pleased to see this scene. She had no confidence before going on stage, fearing that she would mess up. Now her hands were full of sweat. You know, not long ago, she was a socially anxious person who would blush when she spoke and hang up strangers' phone calls. She looked down at the stage and saw the sad Madam Liu, Zhang Yue'e, in the excited and loud crowd. She felt mixed emotions.
She quietly held her child, her face full of tears, and silently looked at the stage, her ears were filled with the voices of people around her talking about her husband. Everyone seemed to have seen him or been with him before, saying things that he had never done, and then doing their best to slander a stranger, which seemed to have become a kind of pleasure.
At this moment, she was extremely grateful.
"Please believe me, the emperor will investigate this thoroughly. No matter what the truth is, he will not show any leniency!"
Wan Ning retracted her gaze and added, at which time Mu Xiu, who was standing in the front row of the crowd, clapped happily.
Wan Ning thought, "Well, if this applause was before the time travel, maybe I could get this order and get a commission."
Mu Xiu was thinking, "I didn't realize she had this much potential. If I had known earlier, I should have recruited her to work in MLM. She would have definitely become something great."
I don’t know how Wan Ning felt about this kind of evaluation, but fortunately, everything went smoothly. The officers and soldiers escorted food and relief supplies and took some of the victims back to their disaster-stricken hometowns, and the matter came to a temporary end.
There are naturally many benefits to becoming famous, but Wan Ning will soon experience the price of fame.
It was still early after the farewell ceremony. Since Mu Xiu and Meng Zhu rarely went out of the palace, they naturally had to have fun. Wan Ning did not plan to go back so early. It might not be as convenient to go out of the palace in the future. She must live up to this opportunity. But Wan Ning had just been in the limelight in front of everyone. Now with this face and this look, she would be recognized wherever she went. How could she have fun like this? She regretted it in her heart. If she had known earlier, she should have worn a veil like Wan Tao.
While she was lost in thought in the carriage, Meng Zhu tentatively tugged at her sleeve and asked timidly, "Sister Le Yan, I heard that the market in Nanye is very lively. Is it true? Can we go out for a walk this time?"
"Yes, of course." Although she agreed readily, she was still worried. She sat aside with her hands on her chin, wondering if there was any solution.
Meng Zhu, at her age, didn't understand what was wrong with Wan Ning, and looked back at Mu Xiu with some confusion. Mu Xiu patted the seat next to him, motioning her to sit over, and consoled her: "Meng Zhu, your sister Le Yan is suffering from the bitterness of being famous now, you should let her digest it first. Come sit here and think about where to go later."
Her timid eyes lit up instantly, and she excitedly used her hands to vividly describe the scene she had heard: "I heard that the market in Nanye is divided into daytime and nighttime. You can buy all kinds of imaginable items in the market during the day, but at night it is a completely different scene with all kinds of activities. There are operas, magic tricks, and spells, and especially there are a lot of delicious snacks and fun gadgets."
"I'll take you there later, but where did you hear about this?"
"It's my father," the young princess said with a bit of sadness. "He once came here and he couldn't forget it after he returned. At that time, my father brought me a ceramic bird that could make clear bird calls, which sounded very nice. It's a pity that the ceramic bird accidentally fell to the ground and broke. My father also said that he would buy me another one if he had the chance to come to Nanye."
"Now, I have been sent to Nanye by my father..."
Wan Ning couldn't bear to see Meng Zhu so sad, so she took Meng Zhu out to play even if she was recognized. So she patted her chest and promised: "We will go to the market later and buy you an identical one! I didn't expect that your father, the king, had also been to Nanye. Today, I will take you on the same path your father took."
Mu Xiu looked down at Meng Zhu and tried to get her out of the way. "But Princess Le Yan's clothes and makeup are inconvenient right now. You and Sister Wan Tao should go to the clothing store next door and buy a set of elegant men's clothes. Okay? After you buy them, send them directly to the inn and let Princess Le Yan dress up and accompany us to the market."
After all, she was a child, and even if she was mature, she would occasionally show her childish personality. When she heard that she could go out to play, she happily followed Wan Tao out. Looking at their receding backs, Mu Xiu lowered the curtain of the carriage and began to speak: "Meng Zhu's father came to Nanye, Chu State eight years ago, secretly with only a personal guard. At that time, Tu Mo and Chu State were evenly matched on the battlefield, so he had the idea of coming to see what was going on."
"This king is really brave and he can even bring a gift to his daughter. He is a good father." Wan Ning's voice was full of envy. She had never seen her father.
"That time, the king met a woman from the Chu Kingdom in Nanye. Now she is Tumo's new queen - Feiyu. The ceramic bird was also given to King Tumo by Feiyu, but it was accidentally revealed when he met his own daughter. Mengzhu found it and couldn't deny it, so he said he bought it for her. Since he married the new queen, Mengzhu and the queen have rarely seen him again. Do you still think he is a father?"
Wait, Feiyu, is this the Feiyu that Ziheng was unwilling to send to marry because he was so determined to win the war? Did the King of Tumo know Feiyu for a long time? Did Feiyu also give the King of Tumo a gift or a token of trust?
Wan Ning was disheveled in the wind. She recalled that because of the failure of the war, Ziheng fell into a trap and almost lost his life. He watched his comrades fall down with his own eyes, and he was devastated and exiled for nearly eight years. Now it was said that the woman that Ziheng stopped the marriage from taking place had known the king of Tumo for a long time? Then what was his effort worth?
"The king doesn't even care about his own daughter, so how is his relationship with the new princess?" Wan Ning felt a little reluctant, but couldn't help but ask.
"They are inseparable, in perfect harmony with each other, and can't be separated." When Mu Xiu said these words, he seemed to still be speaking up for Meng Zhu.
"Does he know?" Wan Ning was lost in thought and muttered to herself.
"Who?" Mu Xiu asked with some confusion.
"It's okay, it's okay." Wan Ning denied it repeatedly and turned to scold King Tumo fiercely: "Bah, what a scumbag. But how did you know about this kind of palace secret? Oh, sorry, I forgot that you are also a member of the Tumo royal family now. It's really pitiful for Mengzhu, it's better for her to be kept in the dark."
