Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

The news that Pei Xu asked Fu'an to deliver ice cubes to Gu Jiaorong soon reached Xie Wanning's ears.

"Haruzhi, is this what you mean by "no problem"?

Xie Wanning's voice was filled with anger, and her eyes became sharp and cold.

Chunzhi lowered her head and pursed her lips as she said, "Princess, even if the prince values her, it doesn't matter. We just need to act according to the plan. Besides, those people in Jiang Yunxuan haven't made any moves."

They are not the only ones who don't want the child to be born.

Xie Wanning no longer bought it. She no longer believed Chunzhi's promise.

"I don't care about them. I just want to see the promise you made to me come true. But Chunzhi, you disappoint me so much."

Her eyes drooped and she looked much calmer, but Chunzhi knew that was not the case. Xie Wanning was really angry at this moment.

If it was just a minor quarrel before, now I really take it to heart.

"Princess, I have already started to do it. I will have good news soon. Please trust me again."

Chunzhi immediately knelt down, a dark glint in her eyes, a hint of impatience towards Xie Wanning. If Xie Wanning hadn't been so obsessed with love, she wouldn't have felt so frustrated and unable to express herself.

"Chunzhi, you always say that. If you can't succeed this time, don't blame me for disregarding the relationship between master and servant."

Xie Wanning looked at her gravely: "I know that mother told you to look after me, but I didn't marry Pei Xu to be bullied. I put so much thought into marrying him because I wanted him to love me!"

Love, the most useless thing in the eyes of the nobles, is regarded as a treasure by Xie Wanning.

Harue sneered, but didn't refute her.

"The servant knows."

Haruji responded, while thinking about her next plan in her mind.

She originally wanted to wait for Jiang Yunxuan and the other two to take action, but they were obviously not in a hurry, while Xie Wanning could not wait any longer.

Now it seems that she can only use the hidden chess pieces she has buried.

If she fails to kill Gu Jiaorong, all her efforts will be in vain.

Chunzhi was quite unhappy about this.

"I will prepare it right away. Princess, please wait for my good news."

Chunzhi left after she finished speaking. Poisoning was not a trivial matter, and even if it was discovered, no one could trace it back to her.

Gu Jiaorong has been living a more comfortable life these days thanks to the ice cubes. Even her appetite has improved a bit, and the weight she lost has slowly been gained back.

Although it is not as strong as before, it does not look so weak and does not seem like it can be blown away by a gust of wind.

After all, she was pregnant. If she was too thin, she might not be able to keep the baby and would also hurt herself.

"Auntie, the prince has sent some snacks over, saying they're new from Xinghua Village. If you like them, I'll send them to you every day from now on."

Shaoyao came over with some snacks, but Gu Jiaorong didn't rush to eat them. Instead, she raised her eyelids and asked, "Isn't Fu'an coming this time?"

Every time Fu'an came to deliver something, he would always see her and say a few words to her, mostly speaking good words for the prince.

However, Gu Jiaorong knew Pei Xu's concern for her without him saying anything. Just seeing him come here every day, she should know what he was thinking.

But Gu Jiaorong never mentioned this matter again after that night. It would seem stupid to bring it up again.

"No, it was brought here by a servant. It looks unfamiliar."

Shaoyao shook her head. She seemed to realize something and started to think about it carefully.

"I must have seen him in the mansion, but he's not someone close to the prince. Fu'an shouldn't have let him deliver the snacks. Is there something wrong with these snacks?"

Thinking of this, she didn't dare give the snacks to Gu Jiaorong anymore.

Even if there is really no problem, you still need to verify it first.

Everyone in the courtyard was very cautious about this matter, so she said with a stern face, "Auntie, this time it was my negligence. I will go test the poison on this snack first, and then come back to accept the punishment."

Gu Jiaorong shook her head. "It's not your fault. Even if it's not today, there will be tomorrow. There are many people in the capital who are eyeing the prince's bloodline. The birth of this child is destined to be bumpy."

She knew very well that the ones who took action were either the princess or the three people from Jiang Yunxuan.

Shaoyao's face was still ugly, but she thought about testing the poison first before saying these words to Gu Jiaorong.

Coincidentally, Fanglan heard the noise and came over with the poison-testing pill.

"Don't be afraid, Auntie. This is a poison-testing pill prepared by the military doctor Chu. The prince specifically instructed us to prepare it."

Fanglan picked up the teapot and poured a glass of water. She then dissolved the poison-testing pill in the water and poured it on the snacks. In an instant, the snacks became strange.

"This snack is indeed poisonous!"

Shaoyao's tone was filled with anger and guilt. "To think someone could be so impatient, this servant deserves death. If it weren't for my aunt's caution, if this snack had been eaten, I'm afraid there would have been two deaths."

This was also the first time that Gu Jiaorong faced such tactics, but she knew it was not Shaoyao's fault.

"Peony, you've taken good care of me. There's no need to feel so guilty. Besides, I didn't expect it. I just felt that I didn't see Fu'an today, so I asked one more question."

What Gu Jiaorong said was true. She was simply not used to it. It was just that she didn't come to Fu'an.

"Fortunately, Auntie asked one more question, otherwise it would have been a big disaster."

Fanglan was also a little scared at this time, but she still had her rationality.

"Peony, now is not the time to feel guilty. We must first capture the person who delivered the snacks. Only then can we find out who is trying to harm our aunt."

If the culprit is not found, such things will inevitably happen again.

"Yes, Fanglan, you are right. We must first catch the person. We must also send someone to tell the prince that no matter who wants to harm our concubine, this matter will never be resolved peacefully."

Shaoyao grabbed Fanglan's hand and nodded heavily. She was still frightened. She almost killed her aunt and the little master in her belly.

Although Fanglan was not talkative, she was calm and composed. She immediately made arrangements, "You've seen that man. Go and arrest him quietly. Be careful not to make too much noise, so as not to alert the enemy. I will go and tell the prince myself, and then ask Yueyan to accompany Auntie."

Shaoyao was not unaware of the seriousness of the matter, so she naturally knew that this matter should not be made into a big commotion, as that would only serve as an alert for the criminals to escape.

Seeing that they had arranged everything in an orderly manner, Gu Jiaorong said nothing more and just enjoyed herself.

Yue Yan was also shocked when she learned that someone had poisoned Gu Jiaorong. She looked at Gu Jiaorong with lingering fear and said, "Fortunately, Auntie was cautious, otherwise, everything would be over."

Gu Jiaorong touched her head and smiled.

"Did I scare you? I was scared too. I didn't expect that we would go through so much just to live a peaceful life. Although you always say that the prince has me in his heart, I never took it to heart. Even now, Yueyan, I dare not."

Gu Jiaorong was speaking the truth. If you fall in love with a man like this, you are destined to suffer.

"If possible, I would rather leave the palace, give up this wealth, and become an ordinary country woman."
