Gu Xinglang saw Yu Xiaoxiao in the street market near the city gate. At that time, his wife and Xiao Wei were standing in front of a bun shop, eagerly waiting for the buns to come out of the steamer.

Xiao Wei was the first person to see Gu Xinglang, and he hurriedly said to Yu Xiao: "Princess, the consort is here."

Yu Xiaoxiao turned her head and saw that the person was really Gu Xinglang. She asked her little Gu, "What kind of buns do you want to eat?"

Gu Xinglang shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry."

Yu Xiaoxiao counted the guards who came and said to the boss of the bun shop, "Give me two more baskets."

The boss was so happy to receive such a big order that he smiled from ear to ear. Ying Yu said in a low voice, "Okay."

A guard with good eyes dismounted and ran over, standing by Yu Xiaoxiao and Xiao Wei to wait for the buns.

Yu Xiaoxiao and Xiao Wei then walked to the front of the carriage. Gu Xinglang saw a few passers-by who saw his wife and Xiao Wei and immediately took a detour. Gu Sanshao immediately looked his wife up and down and said, "Did you fight with someone outside the city again?"

Huh? Yu Xiaoxiao asked in surprise: "How did you know?"

Gu Xinglang stroked his forehead. He could guess from the looks of those passers-by that his wife must have been killing everyone and was invincible again. "What happened again?" Gu Xinglang asked Xiao Wei.

Xiao Wei almost whispered to Gu Xinglang, "The princess discovered that there are monks from the Eternal Life Temple following Prince Jing and his men."

Gu Xinglang's brows immediately wrinkled into a knot, and he looked at Yu Xiao: "Are you sure they want to follow Jing Mo?"

Yu Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "I'm not sure."

Gu Xinglang choked. Are you going to fight without even knowing your ancestors?

Yu Xiao: "They are heading north anyway. The people from the Eternal Life Temple can't be good people. Let's beat them first."

Thinking about what his wife said, Gu Xinglang felt that it seemed to make sense. "Where are these monks now?" Gu Xinglang asked again.

Yu Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at her buns and said, "They are lying outside the city. It is impossible for these people to walk upright within half a month. I will let them stay with Jing Mo and Wu Huan."

Xiao Wei interjected, "They are also in disguise. I think they are going after Prince Jing and his men."

Yu Xiaoxiao nodded. What good could the people from the Eternal Life Temple do?

Gu Xinglang thought for a moment and whispered to Xiao Wei, "How many people are there in total?"

Xiao Wei said, “Twelve.”

"Bring these twelve people into the city and hand them over to the Dali Temple," Gu Xinglang said, "and say that they are impersonating monks from the Eternal Life Temple to commit fraud."

Xiao Wei nodded first, then said to Gu Xinglang with a bitter face: "Prince Consort, wasn't the Dali Temple burned down last night? If I send someone there, can they do anything about it?"

After listening to Xiao Wei's words, Gu Xinglang thought about it again and said to Xiao Wei: "Then send it to the palace and see what the emperor says."

Xiao Wei looked at his husband, opened his mouth but said nothing. After being with the princess for so long, did his husband no longer take the emperor seriously?

Yu Xiaoxiao thought Gu Xinglang's idea was a good one, and said to Xiao Wei, "Xiao Wei, bring the man to my father. He can kill him or chop him up as he pleases."

What Xiao Wei is worried about now is that the emperor may be so angry that he may not want to kill his daughter and son-in-law, so what if he kills him?

The buns were out of the oven at this time, and the boss called out to Yu Xiaoxiao loudly, "Madam, the buns you ordered are ready."

Yu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up immediately, and she said to Gu Xinglang, "Wait a minute, I'll go get the buns."

Each of the guards took four large meat buns and went out of the city while eating them, following the little guard who was also eating a bun.

Yu Xiaoxiao carried two large bags of meat buns, got on the carriage, and sat next to Gu Xinglang. Without asking Gu Xinglang whether he wanted to eat or not, she directly stuffed a bun into Gu Xinglang's hand.

Gu Xinglang ordered the guard driving the carriage to return home. When he turned around to look at his wife, she had already eaten the big meat bun in her hand and was about to take the second one.

"Are you hungry again?" Gu Xinglang asked.

Yu Xiaoxiao nodded. She had just finished another fight. How could she not be hungry?

Gu Xinglang poured a glass of water, held it in his hand and fed Yu Xiaoxiao to drink it mouthful by mouthful, and from time to time he would say, "Eat slowly."

Yu Xiaoxiao ate four large meat buns in one go, and suddenly said to Gu Xinglang: "Xiao Gu, let's go to the Dawan Restaurant for dinner."

Gu Xinglang looked at the half-eaten meat bun in his wife's hand.

Yu Xiao: "Let's go have lunch."

Young Master Gu couldn't help himself and reached out to touch Yu Xiaoxiao's belly. Is this a bottomless pit? Why does his wife seem to be unable to fill her stomach no matter how much she eats?

Yu Xiaoxiao looked down at Gu Xinglang's hand and said, "Xiao Gu, what are you doing?"

"If you go to Dawan Restaurant, don't eat the meat buns," said Gu Xinglang. He was really worried that his young wife would hurt her stomach after eating them.

Yu Xiaoxiao looked at the half-eaten bun left in her hand. The bun had a thin skin and lots of fillings. It was a good bun.

Gu Xinglang leaned over and bit off two-thirds of the bun in Yu Xiaoxiao's hand.

If anyone else dared to snatch food from Yu Xiaoxiao, they would have to endure the wrath of Instructor Yu. However, this was her own little Gu, so no matter how awkward it felt, Yu Xiaoxiao still stuffed the remaining one-third into Gu Xinglang's mouth. They were husband and wife, and how could she be called a good woman if she didn't pamper her man? (Hey, something seems to be wrong, right? ==)

Gu Xinglang took Yu Xiaoxiao to the Dawan Restaurant. There was no way Jing Mo, Zuo You or the like would come to trouble him today. When Young Master Gu thought of this, his mood improved.

At this time, the old lady ordered the housekeeper in the mansion: "Go find the third young master and see where he went to pick up the princess!"

The housekeeper nodded repeatedly and walked out of the old lady's room.

"A bunch of unfilial sons!" The old lady cursed while sitting in the room.

A maid who served the old lady said, "Please calm down, the third young master may be back soon."

"His elder and second brothers are busy with official business, what is he doing?" The old lady said angrily, "His mother is going to leave the house and live alone, but he is still thinking about the princess!"

The maidservant didn't dare to respond to the old lady's words. This matter concerned the princess, so which servant would dare to say anything? Qingyu's fate was waiting for her.

On the official road heading north from Fengjing, a guard rode a horse and rushed to Jing Mo's side from the back of the team and whispered, "Master, Chuqiu has woken up and is complaining of pain in his body."

Jing Mo didn't even look at the guard, and said, "Find a place to dump her."

The guard replied "yes", turned his horse around and walked back.

Qingyu was thrown by Yu Xiaoxiao once, and she fell in a bad position, hitting a rock, breaking her left hip. After she was no longer useful to Jing Mo, a cold-hearted person like Jing Mo would never ask her whether she lived or died, so Qingyu had not received any good treatment since she was injured. This time, when she woke up from a coma, the carriage was bumped, and the huge pain made Qingyu cry out in pain.

The guard walked forward for a while, and when he saw a dense forest beside the official road, he ordered two servants, "Throw the man into the forest."
