There are actually no lively places in the outskirts of the city. If you catch up with the market, there may be stalls that can't fit in the central street.

But recently, even if there is a market, there are not as many vendors on the outskirts of the city as before.After all, everyone knows that the suburbs of the city are not very peaceful recently.Although there were local hooligans and small thieves in the past, they were all petty theft and small troubles.

But recently, there are always mobs dressed as officers and soldiers around the suburbs, appearing and haunting from time to time, doing evil.They either robbed and smashed goods, or molested a good woman. Although the regular army of the imperial court came to suppress them, these people were like local snakes. After a few times, they learned to be smart.

So everyone has nothing to do. They can only take advantage of the crowds during the day to do what they need to buy and do well, and stay behind closed doors at night.

Even so, Grandma Douzi, who has a handicap, ran into this group of mobs when she went out to buy vegetables. In the chaos, she accidentally broke her leg and her waist, and she was bedridden for many days.Douzi was also slightly injured in this chaos, but fortunately, the skin trauma was not serious, and he could still go to the medical center to get medicine for grandma every few days.

Hearing the news, Maizi was so anxious that he jumped up and down the palace, he couldn't wait to go to the outskirts of the city to visit Dou Zi and grandma several times, but Jing Zhu pushed him down.

Fortunately, Jing Zhu didn't lose his temper with him this time, but told him patiently that the past few days have been in turmoil, and when the prince finishes his work, he will take everyone with him.

He has always listened to the fairy father's words the most, and it is rare for Jing Zhu to hold his temper and reason with him. Although Maizi is very anxious, he still waits patiently.

These few days, Jing Zhu was unexpectedly calm.That day when Su Ho came back from the palace, he announced to everyone in the palace that he was pregnant, which was diagnosed by the imperial physician in the palace.

Jing Zhu couldn't help but feel even more contemptuous of that proud look, and immediately thought of the phrase "a villain's success".It looks so similar.

He naturally believed in Ming Xuanyu.So he didn't even want to think about what Su Ho said, and treated it as a farce to please the public, and continued to drink the unknown tea on the sidelines.

Except for Jing Zhu, all the servants of the palace showed joy and congratulated each other respectfully, which made Su Ho very satisfied.Although Yi An was also among them, his expression of congratulations was still ordinary, with no change in expression, as if Su Ho said that she ate well today, and everyone in the palace rewarded her.

Ming Xuanyu's complexion was extremely ugly, almost turned pale, his brows were tightly wrinkled, and he was extremely irritable.Several times he wanted to leave the banquet, but Jing Zhu held back with his eyes.

As if deliberately showing off and emphasizing, Su Ho smiled proudly, and said again "it was diagnosed by the imperial physician in the palace".

"Oh, quack doctor."

Jing Zhu rested his chin in one hand and blew on the teacup with the other, smiling contemptuously.

"What are you talking about? Disrespectful, bold, presumptuous! The imperial physician is from the palace. You are insulting the emperor and disrespecting the royal family by speaking so arrogantly!"

Su Ho's face flushed red with anger, pointing and cursing at Jing Zhu with his hips crossed.

"Princess, concubine, I am wronged, I am so wronged! When I was young, there was a Mr. Dongying next door. Just now it was the dialect of Dongying, which means congratulations. Oh, yes, I can’t blame the princess, and not everyone knows the dialect of Dongying. Well!"

Jing Zhu was neither humble nor overbearing, he smiled and put on a polite look and cupped his hands.

This time, Yi An smiled quietly, even with the vicissitudes of wrinkles on his face, he couldn't help shaking.

It's not easy for Su Ho to refute it on the spot. Doesn't that make her look like an arrogant and domineering street shrew?He could only gritted his teeth and glared at Jing Zhu, sat down with a cold snort, and used his hands to exaggerately protect his lower abdomen.

The next day, Ming Xuanyu finally had some free time. In the early morning, he gathered Jingzhu and Maizi, brought the pre-purchased souvenirs and various supplements, and prepared to visit grandma and Douzi in the outskirts of the city.

Just as the servants of the palace were sorting out the belongings behind the carriage, and the groom stepped forward and was about to set off, a delicate "wait a minute" suddenly came out from behind the gate of the palace, and then Su Ho walked over with the help of a maid, without any hesitation. Squeezing into the sedan chair by herself, a pretty pink figure sat next to Ming Xuanyu, almost squeezing Maizi out of the seat without any hesitation.

"It's just nonsense... you go down."

Ming Xuanyu was very displeased, and indifferently issued an order to expel the guest.

"My lord, there is no one left in Soho today. I know you are going to the suburbs. I heard that there is a good shop selling small toys there. I plan to buy some for our children. However, the suburbs are chaotic recently, and I walked alone as a weak woman." Go, be afraid."

As Su Ho said, he leaned coquettishly on Ming Xuanyu's shoulder, although he was quickly thrown away mercilessly.

"Wangfei still calls herself a weak woman? I see that you are so fierce that you can tear the horse in front of you in half with your bare hands, and the horse's hoof can be torn into strands and then braided."

Jing Zhu folded his arms and crossed Erlang's legs, and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Maizi suddenly wasn't so angry anymore, and laughed while hugging her stomach.Su Ho was furious and wanted to punch Maizi, but Ming Xuanyu stopped him by clenching his wrist.

"I'll ask Yi An to buy things, don't make trouble, go back."

Ming Xuanyu's face was even more ugly, it was as cold as frost and snow in winter.

"My lord, Su Ho's belly is your flesh and blood. If you kick him out today, there will be some accidents. I'm afraid it's hard to explain to the Queen Mother?"

Su Ho, whose wrist was clenched, glanced around the sedan chair of the carriage, and said with a sneer.

Having said this, Ming Xuanyu's clenched hands suddenly relaxed a bit.Even though he knew it was something out of thin air.He didn't like women for a long time, and he didn't like this forced concubine Xiang. He had never touched her, and at most he just slept on the same bed to avoid criticism.Pregnant, how is it possible?

But if the empress dowager blames it...that's Ming Xuanjin's biological mother.If you want to add a crime, why worry about it?

"Don't worry, Suho is not a boring person. You just need to send me to the toy store and go about your business. I will wait for you to pick me up. Otherwise, I dare not and will not be in this messy suburb." I would like to come."

Su Ho pulled out his arm, and sat down firmly against Ming Xuanyu.

Speechless all the way.

Fortunately, Su Ho kept her word. When she arrived at the toy store, she got out of the sedan chair without saying much.When the pink color completely disappeared in the shop, Ming Xuanyu's brows relaxed, and he involuntarily grabbed Jing Zhu's hand and put it on his heart.Jing Zhu also smiled relaxedly, leaned over and smacked Ming Xuanyu's face.

"Well, two fathers, dear fathers...I'm still here, does anyone take care of the children?"

Maizi shrugged and rolled her eyes speechlessly.

The suburban slums that I haven't returned to for a long time are unexpectedly more decadent, presumably it has something to do with the mobs dressed as officers and soldiers who frequently cause trouble today.

Douzi's head was wrapped with white gauze, and Maizi felt very distressed when he saw it. Although Douzi smiled and explained that it was really not serious, it was just a skin injury, Maizi still clung to him, looking left and right.

In contrast, the situation of grandma is much more serious.The old man could barely sit on the bed that was piled with quilts. Seeing the prince coming, he wanted to struggle to get up in a panic, but was supported by Ming Xuanyu, who comforted his grandma to rest and recuperate without restraint.

Once again, Ming Xuanyu proposed to take Douzi and grandma back to the palace for good care. Jing Zhu agreed that if he was not used to it, he could move to the hut that the prince had repaired for him, but Grandma Douzi declined again.

"The old lady knows that time is short, I just ask you to show mercy and take care of my little grandson after I leave."

Grandma Douzi said tremblingly.

Hearing this, Douzi pushed away Maizi's hand, looked over and called grandma reproachfully.The old man didn't say much anymore, and kindly talked about other topics.

After an unknown amount of time, it began to rain lightly outside.

Su Ho was sitting at the door of the shop, holding a big bag of toys, twirling a vermilion lacquered wooden rattle in his hand, staring blankly out of boredom.

Just now in the sedan chair, I spoke to the prince a little more fiercely. Will he dislike me because of this?Thinking of this, Su Ho touched his flat belly again.

Suddenly, a shivering little boy in a rag linen shirt came over nervously.

"Sister... Sister, two elder brothers asked me to bring you a message, please... please move to the entrance of the alley in front, saying that the carriage is ready... well, please go back home. I... I can lead the way."

The little man lowered his head, rubbing the hem of his clothes nervously with his rough hands.

Are they coming back from work?Su Ho responded, picked up the package and went out with the little boy.

"At the entrance of the alley, do you want to pass through here? Hey, hey, don't run! You..."

Su Ho looked at the quiet and dark alley with some doubts, and couldn't help shivering.But before he finished speaking, the little boy leading the way suddenly started running.

The little boy in ragged clothes ran very fast, and he ran behind a group of big men in black in front of him in three steps at a time.The big man in the lead had muscular muscles all over his body. Although he couldn't see clearly, he could still feel the ferocious expression on his face.He laughed boldly, threw a few silver ingots to the little boy, and praised the little boy by the way, saying that he did a good job.

"I'm rich, I... I'm rich! I can go get medicine! My sister... my sister's illness is cured!"

After that, the little boy held the silver ingot tightly and ran away happily.

Su Ho, who suddenly realized that he had been cheated, became frightened, and he could hear the sound of nervous heartbeat when he took a big breath.She bravely asked the three or five big men in front of her loudly what they were going to do.

"Don't worry, girl, we will rob some money, not sex. It is mainly entrusted by others to teach you a lesson."

The leading man approached with a smile and rolled up his sleeves.

"Entrusted by someone... who? Who asked you? Do you know who I am? I am the second young lady of the Su family, and I am the current Princess Xiang! You guys, if you dare to do something, I will..."

Su Ho was forced to retreat again and again, holding the package tightly, ready to throw it out for defense at any time.

"Little ones! Don't be too ruthless. If you kill someone, you and I will be finished. What the master means is to teach you a lesson."

"Yes! Listen to the boss, listen to the master!"

"Okay, after finishing this ticket, Lord Yan will reward us with good wine and good women! Haha!"

"You idiot! Master Yan, don't talk nonsense. Our employer this time is Jing Zhu, Master Jing, haven't you written it down? You bastard!"

"Yes, yes, Jing Zhu, Mr. Jing!"

Noisy human voices buzzed in his head, Su Ho smashed out the package and was about to turn around and run away, but was soon surrounded by this group of big guys, knocked to the ground, punched and kicked.

The cry for help went from crying loudly to gradually weakening. Before the consciousness became blurred, Su Ho only remembered that the group of big men said that they were entrusted by Master Jing Zhujing to teach her a lesson.

King Bamboo...

In the afternoon, the sky turned gloomy, and the clouds were densely covered, as if shrouded in the dark night, with the appearance of a mountain rain and wind all over the building.The rain was getting heavier, and the bean-sized raindrops fell mercilessly, smashing into this deserted alley, drowning out the voices of people.It hit the rattle of red lacquered wood on the ground, spreading the dirty mud.
