Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

"Shen Zhaohua won't appear again, Rong'er doesn't need to worry about her."

In the end, Pei Xu just said this vaguely without any explanation.

Just by writing one sentence, Gu Jiaorong understood that Shen Zhaohua had finally returned home as he wished.

"Then let's not talk about her, let's just talk about Chunzhi. I think she has a deep mind and unclear motives. Your Highness should be cautious when meeting her."

Gu Jiaorong's eyes moved, and she told her about Chunzhi sending her supplements.

"I don't think she wants the prince's child to be born safely. This might not be a good thing for her."

Gu Jiaorong didn't say that Chunzhi wanted her life. Pei Xu was so smart that she could think of it herself. If she said it out loud, it would not achieve the effect she wanted.

Pei Xu saw through her little thoughts at a glance.

Although he didn't know why Gu Jiaorong was still so cautious and refused to believe him, he didn't point it out.

"I'm not surprised that no one wants my offspring to be born."

Pei Xu agreed with her words, his expression indifferent, but his slender fingers did not stop, but played with her white jade-like feet freely.

Gu Jiaorong believes that she is not a scheming person. What she can see, Pei Xu must also know. However, as a book traveler, she has a God's perspective, so she does not think this matter is too simple.

If Chunzhi is the reborn princess in the book, then what she wants is not only the position of Princess Su, but she also wants to rise to the top and sit on the throne above millions of people.

Pei Xu has come to this point, there is no turning back. If he supports any of the princes, he will have no chance of survival. He has long become a thorn in the emperor's side.

"Your Majesty, if we hadn't found Chunzhi, would you have..."

Although the Xie family is wholeheartedly supporting the third prince, if the third prince is not capable, it is not a bad idea to support their son-in-law instead.

She wasn't asking about what ifs, but about the future.

Pei Xu knew that she had some hidden thoughts, but she was always unwilling to express her thoughts directly.

All this stems from the disparity in their status, and such a gap cannot be eliminated in a short period of time. He cannot praise Gu Jiaorong to the highest position and turn her into a target.

People like him cannot have weaknesses. Once they have weaknesses, they need to hide them well, otherwise those people will pounce on them ferociously like hyenas smelling blood.

Now he has no perfect plan and cannot ensure Gu Jiaorong's 100% safety, so he can only choose to let Gu Jiaorong suffer.

Fortunately, Gu Jiaorong was not willful and never asked him for these things. However, sometimes when he saw how cautious she was, Pei Xu hated his own incompetence.

He thought back to the past when Gu Jiaorong asked him if he had any regrets, and he replied, "Yes."

Now his regrets and unwillingness are increasing, but he is powerless.

Pei Xu lowered her eyes and looked at the person in her arms. She thought she had hidden her emotions very well, but in fact they had already been exposed in front of him.

He heard his firm answer to Gu Jiaorong and also revealed his inner thoughts.

"In the past, I didn't care about the nature of a marriage. I would take advantage of any opportunity that could be taken. But now, I won't make such a compromise again."

Pei Xu admitted that he was not a gentleman and would do anything to achieve his goals.

The best example is Shen Zhaohua.

When Shen Zhaohua appeared, he had already labeled him as someone being used.

Even at the moment when Shen Zhaohua left, he did not have much sympathy, but was full of exploitation and calculation.

"Your Majesty, won't you regret it?"

Gu Jiaorong looked at him intently, whispering softly, forgetting to hide the surprise and confusion in her eyes.

Pei Xu lowered his head and kissed her lips, then chuckled and replied, "Rong'er, I am a greedy person. Now that I have what I want most, I will not let it go. Even if it is forced, I will keep it and will never allow anyone to take it away."

Gu Jiaorong didn't know whether he was talking about the child, her, or both, but no matter who it was, it was good news for her.

Chunzhi must hate her to the core, otherwise she would not have deliberately harmed her and the child. If it weren't for Pei Xu's protection, she would probably have lost her life.

"My Lord, I only have you and the child."

Gu Jiaorong raised her arms and hugged his neck, snuggling closer to him, as if only in this way could she feel safe.

She has always felt uneasy since she opened her eyes and came into this world.

At first she was glad that she was still alive, even if she was just a maid, but as the old saying goes, it is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death, and besides, the prince had no interest in her.

Later she was drawn into a plot and was promoted to a concubine. She told herself again and again that she would be free as long as she finished the plot.

She was a little surprised when Pei Xu asked her to sleep with him, but she didn't dare to think too much. She could only deceive herself again, and she had been deceiving herself until now. Even after having a child, she was still afraid.

Gu Jiaorong sometimes thought that perhaps she just had the typical Ah Q spirit.

She couldn't fully understand what she had learned in class many years ago, and at this moment, the boomerang finally hit her between the eyebrows.

Pei Xu didn't know how active and complicated her heart was. He felt a strange satisfaction when he saw Gu Jiaorong relying on him wholeheartedly.

"I will protect you and the child, don't be afraid, Rong'er."

He hugged Jiaojiao's soft body, kissed her ear, and promised her not to worry.

"Chunzhi is a ruthless person. Since she was able to kill Xie Wanning, who had served her since childhood, she will definitely not stop there. I will keep more people by your side."

Pei Xu had originally arranged guards to protect Gu Jiaorong, but now he felt that guards alone might not be enough.

He had never mentioned the existence of the twenty-six secret guards to anyone, nor did he intend to explain it to Gu Jiaorong. He simply told her, "Tomorrow I will arrange for two skilled kung fu men to protect you. You don't have to worry about where they are. Just remember, I will never let you fall into danger."

Gu Jiaorong knew that Pei Xu had many things that he couldn't say directly, so she nodded obediently without asking any questions.

"My Lord, I know."

She agreed with this, but in her heart she was thinking, if Pei Xu forgot his oath one day, how would she get away with it?

In this world where she has no relatives or friends, she carries a natural sense of vigilance and uneasiness, which may not truly disappear until the moment of her death.

Pei Xu knew that her feelings for him were not deep, nor did she completely trust him, but she had no other choice. However, he had no way to prove it immediately, so he could only leave everything to time.

"I might be very busy these few days. If she comes to see you again, just have Shaoyao refuse her and tell her that you are not feeling well and need to take good care of yourself, so it is not convenient for you to see guests."

Pei Xu's sense of crisis reappeared, and he knew deeply that he could no longer indulge in the gentle land.

Even if Gu Jiaorong is the one he loves, he should not be too eager to show her tenderness for a while and forget the many crises behind him and the countless eyes staring at him.
