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

The night was getting late and the weather was getting colder.

After Wan Ning and the others saw Gao Rulan off, they immediately put aside their calm expressions and hurried to find their carriages to return to the palace. But when they turned around and glanced unconsciously, they saw a very familiar person standing opposite them.

After rubbing her eyes and carefully identifying it, she found that Fang Xiong had been standing at the stall opposite and watching. She didn't want to disturb him so she didn't go over. Wan Ning looked at the vendors next to her and saw that they had started to pack up their stalls. She packed up all the remaining shortbreads and walked straight to Fang Xiong.

"Lord Fang, how come you have time to come here today?" As he spoke, he did not forget to look back, as if he was also expecting to see someone.

"Princess, I am the only one here today. The Emperor is currently in the palace handling government affairs. Hearing that the Princess has not returned to the palace yet, he specially sent me to greet you." Fang Xiong saw all of this and took the initiative to speak.

"Who said I looked at him? I didn't, don't talk nonsense. I was just looking at the scenery of the night market closing up, hehe." Perhaps her thoughts were revealed, her face flushed slightly and her voice became louder.

As they were talking, they walked towards the princess's carriage. Unexpectedly, because they were so happy with the shopping today, the carriage was already full. Now there was really no room for five people. Just when everyone was at a loss, Fang Xiong waved his hand, and someone led out a new carriage. He handed the reins to Fang Xiong and left.

Lord Fang stood in front of the carriage and made a gesture of invitation, saying, "Everyone can take this one. Leave the princess's carriage to me. I'll send someone to take it back."

Needless to say, this must have been something Ziheng had anticipated. It was rare for Wan Ning and the others to go to the market together to shop, and today he saw her having so much fun at the market, so naturally he would not stop until he moved the entire market back.

Wan Ning thanked her and got into the car. Mu Xiu followed closely behind. Just as he was about to reach out to take Meng Zhu into the car, he was unexpectedly stopped by Wan Tao.

"There are still some fragile items in the carriage that need to be watched, and the things need to be counted in advance. Princess Mu Xiu and Prince Mu Xiu, you can take this carriage, and Meng Zhu and I will take the previous carriage first." He lowered his head and said to Meng Zhu, "Princess Meng Zhu, if you see something you like later, you can mark it and send it directly to Yuxi Palace when you return to the palace. Is that okay?"

Mengzhu was still a child after all, how could she resist such temptation, so she pulled Wantao and jumped into the carriage. Mu Xiu had no choice but to let her go, fortunately she seemed happier than before in Tumo, and finally did not disappoint her relatives' trust.

And Wan Tao seemed to want to leave them alone. The princess had been outside the palace recently, and it was a rare occasion for them to meet today, so naturally they had something to talk about, so Wan Tao tactfully created some time for them to be alone.

In the carriage, the two of them sat separately on each side. When the carriage started to move up and down on the road, Wan Ning spoke first. She clearly remembered that when Mu Zheng was about to talk about what happened in Lu Village at the inn, he was interrupted by the return of Wan Tao and Meng Zhu. It was a rare opportunity for them to be alone, so naturally he wanted to ask clearly.

"I asked you to investigate the matter in Lu Village. Have you made any progress?"

Mu Xiu nodded and whispered, "We sent people to Lu Village and brought your portrait with them. There was indeed someone there who looked very similar to you. She stayed there for about three months, but suddenly disappeared one day and no one has seen her since. The time she disappeared was about two months different from the time you traveled through."

Wan Ning listened carefully and couldn't help asking, "Is there a man with her? How is that man? Did you find out their names?"

"Don't worry, there was indeed a man with her. And the man was really in poor health as you said, he couldn't see anything with his eyes, and looked very weak. She often went to buy medicine for him. Not long after the girl disappeared, the man also disappeared. As for his name, everyone in the village called her Xinghe, and no one knew the man's name. After all, no one called him by his name, they all called him a patient."

"Xinghe? This may be a fake name. Do you know what the man looks like?" Wan Ning was a little anxious. The current clues were far from enough to find the real Princess Le Yan.

"As for his appearance, the people we sent over asked about it, and found that very few people had seen that man, but those who had seen him only said two words: very handsome!" Mu Xiu spread his hands helplessly.

"Handsome? That's it. How can you find someone just based on handsomeness?"

Seeing her frown, Mu Xiu added, "Although there are no answers to these questions yet, there is still a clue worth paying attention to. They once had a residence in Lu Village, a bamboo house near the pond and far away from the center of the village. The people who went there said that although the door of the wooden house was locked, it still looked like someone was living inside, and the items and decorations inside looked like the owner had gone out temporarily and would be back at any time."

Wan Ning didn't quite understand, and after thinking for a while, she asked, "What if they left suddenly and didn't have time to pack their things?"

"That's impossible. The furnishings in the room are very clean, as if someone had just cleaned it. Moreover, they cleaned the things very carefully and placed them in the same way as they did at the time. It can only be that one of the two people had just been to this room not long ago!"

Wan Ning suddenly realized and slapped her head, praising Mu Xiu: "You are worthy of being Prince Mu Xiu, worthy of being Boss Jiang, it is right to ask you to do the job! Since some of them have just been there not long ago, they will definitely go again in the future! Why not just sit back and wait, are you afraid that you won't meet them?" Wan Ning was very happy now, things were finally making some progress.

Since coming to this world, Wan Ning felt that she was surrounded by countless strange things, like a tangled mess. Every time she had a clue, she was quickly overwhelmed by other things, just like a cloud floating in the sky, unable to catch it even if she wanted to, and all that was left was a feeling of powerlessness and loneliness. Now things have finally made a breakthrough.

Looking at Wan Ning who was so happy, Mu Xiu asked in disappointment: "We have only found the possible place where Princess Le Yan stayed before. We are still a long way from finding her. Why are you so happy?"

Wan Ning rolled her eyes at him and pretended to be angry and said, "You are now Prince Mu Xiu of Tumo. Don't always act like Boss Jiang. Things may be difficult to do, but we are one step closer to success when we do something. When we find the real Princess Le Yan, maybe we can know why we traveled here. Princess Le Yan and I look exactly like each other. If we think optimistically, we may be able to find a way to go back!"

"Why do you want to go back so much? Isn't it good to be a princess here now?" Mu Xiu's question left her speechless for a moment.

"Don't you want to go back?"
