Gu Jiaorong is pregnant with the prince's eldest son. The first child is always more anticipated. All the joy of being a father for the first time will be given to him, and it is very easy for her to favor him.

This is the result Xie Wanning is most afraid of seeing.

But Gu Jiaorong had other worries. She didn't know whether the plot that had gone astray would get back on track, and whether she could continue to survive.

If she died, who would protect her child?

"Auntie, please stop thinking so much. Worrying too much is not good for the baby in your belly. The weather is getting hotter now. I will go and bring you some mung bean soup to cool you down."

The smile on Shaoyao's face never faded. She was happy for Gu Jiaorong from the bottom of her heart.

"Okay, go ahead."

Gu Jiaorong nodded, she also felt a little hot.

No matter how worried she is, the child is just an embryo now, so she should still focus on herself.

-

Xie Wanning dismissed He Xiangning and the other two, then swept the things on the stone table to the ground.

"Bitch, Gu Jiaorong, this bitch, I knew she wouldn't be content, and now she's even pregnant."

Xie Wanning's eyes were red. She turned to look at Chunzhi and asked harshly, "Didn't you say you would help me kill her? How is she still alive? Chunzhi, you really disappoint me!"

Chunzhi pursed her lips. She didn't expect that Gu Jiaorong would be pregnant at this time.

But doesn't this give them the opportunity to take action?

"Princess, I promised you, and I will never break my promise. Calm down and listen to me."

Chunzhi spoke slowly and calmly, comforting Xie Wanning.

"Now that Aunt Gu has a child, it will be much easier for us to do what we want, and it won't be easy for others to notice. I just need the princess to be patient and pretend to care about her and the prince's offspring."

Chunzhi had learned all the dirty tricks of the mansion. It was easy for her to keep the child and let the child's biological mother die naturally.

But Xie Wanning felt that she had been pretending for long enough and was already impatient.

"It was because I was too patient that this bitch got pregnant. If I keep pretending, she might become a concubine one day."

Xie Wanning said dissatisfiedly that she felt Chunzhi was just talking without any concern.

If Chunzhi's lover was kidnapped and had a child with someone else, she might not be as calm as she is today.

"Princess, even if she is pregnant, what does it matter? She may be pregnant, but she may not be born."

A hint of viciousness flashed across Chunzhi's eyes. She had been suffering from a lack of opportunities, and now Gu Jiaorong had put the opportunity in her hands. If she didn't seize it, she would be too sorry to Gu Jiaorong.

"Don't worry, Princess. Her complacency won't last long. However, this matter still requires the Princess's cooperation. Your reputation as a virtuous woman must not be tarnished."

When Xie Wanning heard Chunzhi say this, she guessed what she was planning.

She didn't care what method Chunzhi used, nor did she care whether she had a good reputation or not. She just wanted to see the result and hear the news of the death of that bitch Gu Jiaorong.

-

Just as they thought, the news that Gu Jiaorong was pregnant soon reached Pei Xu's ears.

"Master, this is truly a great joyous occasion. The princess heard that Concubine Gu was unwell, so she asked the palace physician to take her pulse, and she confirmed she was pregnant!"

Fuan said with a smile on his face, his voice a little more lively than usual.

Pei Xu immediately put down the brush in his hand and said, "Let's go back home."

He hadn't seen Gu Jiaorong for two days. The last time he saw her, he joked with her about this.

Now that the joke has come true, he is naturally overjoyed.

I just don’t know whether Gu Jiaorong is happy or not. After all, the last time he mentioned this, Gu Jiaorong didn’t give him a direct answer.

Therefore, when he reached the street near Xinghua Village, he turned again.

Fu An looked at Pei Xu's back and couldn't help but sigh: "Master is so considerate, Aunt Gu must be very touched."

Gu Jiaorong really didn't expect Pei Xu to come to see her specially with snacks, although she had just announced the news of her pregnancy, Pei Xu might be happy.

However, she is not an ungrateful person. She will not show off after receiving benefits.

"Your Highness, I'm already very happy that you came to see me. I didn't expect you to be so considerate and bring me some snacks."

Gu Jiaorong looked at him with a smile on her face, her tone full of flattery.

Now that she is pregnant, Pei Xu can no longer hold her in his arms like before, so he has to sit next to her.

"Even if I don't go back home on weekdays, I often ask Fu'an to bring you snacks. How come you know how good I am today?"

Pei Xu's tone was casual and he didn't seem angry.

"I usually remember the prince's kindness, but the prince doesn't come to see me. Even if I want to thank the prince in person, there is no way."

Gu Jiaorong pushed the blame onto Pei Xu, saying that all the mistakes were his fault.

Pei Xu passed the snack to Gu Jiaorong and continued with a smile: "Rong'er, are you blaming me?"

Without waiting for Gu Jiaorong to answer, he continued, "Since Rong'er has said so, I must come to see Rong'er more often in the future, so that Rong'er won't be dissatisfied with me."

Gu Jiaorong took a look at the snack that Pei Xu handed over. It was the red bean pastry that she loved most in recent days. It was obvious that Pei Xu put a lot of thought into it.

Even if he hadn't come here, he would have known about it from Fu'an.

"I don't dare."

Gu Jiaorong lowered her eyes, looking extremely aggrieved.

Even though he knew she was just pretending, Pei Xu still softened his heart a little.

"You are my beloved concubine, what is there to be afraid of? I have told you before that even if you make a huge mess, I will cover it for you."

Pei Xu curled his lips slightly and spoke with great confidence, and he did it.

Gu Jiaorong offended so many people when she attended the banquet, but no one dared to cause trouble for her, all because Pei Xu stood in her way.

"Your Majesty can protect me for a while, but can you protect me forever?"

Gu Jiaorong sat up straighter and asked him.

She wanted to take this opportunity, while Pei Xu was happy, to ask Pei Xu for a promise.

"Now I am young and pretty, and I can please the prince. But in the future, when I am old and ugly, and there are many young women in the backyard, will the prince still remember me?"

Pei Xu frowned. He was not a lustful person, otherwise, no matter how many concerns he had, there would not be only three people in the backyard.

What's more, he had no physical relationship with Shen Zhaohua.

He just used an excuse to keep Shen Zhaohua in the backyard to prevent him from being discovered by someone with ulterior motives and coaxing the method of making gunpowder away from Shen Zhaohua.

He just couldn't say such words, so he followed Gu Jiaorong's meaning and asked, "What does Rong'er mean?"

Gu Jiaorong knew that Pei Xu was deliberately indulging her, but she couldn't care less, after all, the opportunity was rare.

"I want the prince to promise that if I do something that displeases you in the future, you must spare my life and let me leave the palace to live a peaceful life as a commoner."

Gu Jiaorong did not mention the child. The child was her bargaining chip. Compared to the illusory love, the child was what could really touch Pei Xu.

As soon as she finished speaking, a chuckle was heard.
