Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Gu Jiaorong knew that it was not easy to try all the delicacies in the world, but she did not spoil the fun.

"Okay, I'll wait for the prince to take me there."

She stuffed the rest of the sugar cookie into her mouth and stopped eating.

Although this sugar cake is delicious, it is too sweet after all. You will feel sick of it if you eat too much.

Pei Xu took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped her hands, then brought the teacup to her mouth, and she cooperated and drank it.

"Your Majesty, I'm a little sleepy."

Gu Jiaorong leaned on Pei Xu and yawned lazily.

She has been very sleepy recently, and there are ice cubes in the room to cool her down, so it is cool and refreshing, and her sleep has become better and better.

"Go to sleep, I'm here."

Pei Xu embraced her, lowered his head and kissed her, and coaxed her gently: "Dear Rong'er, I will accompany you."

After hearing this, Gu Jiaorong closed her eyes with relief.

Pei Xu carried her to the bed, watched her fall into a deep sleep, and then left the room.

When Fuan saw him come out, he called out softly, "Prince."

"What about that person?"

Pei Xu's voice was cold, as if it was filled with ice. Even people who didn't know him could see his anger.

Since he became an adult, Pei Xu has remained calm even when faced with a crisis. Except for the death of the prince, Fu'an has never seen him express such emotions.

There was caution in his voice and he bent even lower.

"I have been sent to the private prison, awaiting the prince's decision."

After Fuan finished speaking, he glanced at Pei Xu quietly again, trying to figure out how to say the next words.

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

This little trick naturally could not be hidden from Pei Xu's eyes. If it were usual, he would not expose it, but today he was really unhappy.

"Your Highness, Shaoyao, Fanglan and the others failed to take good care of Auntie. What should we do..."

Fu'an was also worried. Shaoyao and Fanglan were both elderly people around the prince. Logically, their crimes did not deserve the death penalty, but he was not sure what the prince was thinking.

"Since Rong'er has pleaded for them, I can't make things difficult for them any further. I'll just fine them two months' salary."

Pei Xu snorted coldly, left a word and went to the private prison.

Fu'an nodded repeatedly, thinking to himself: This Aunt Gu is indeed a person with a good heart. He must tell Shaoyao and Fanglan and ask them to serve him more wholeheartedly in the future.

He came to his senses and saw that the prince had gone far away, so he trotted after him.

The palace's private prison was built underground, so when torture began, no one could hear even if someone shouted loudly.

When Pei Xu arrived, the man was already covered in wounds, with his head drooping limply, as if he was only breathing his last breath.

"Wu Da, what happened? Why did you beat him up like this?"

Fuan asked. He was not worried about this man, but he was afraid that he would die easily, and the prince would be unable to vent his anger.

Wu Da bowed and replied, "Liu Cheng is being stubborn and refusing to confess anything. I guess the other party has something on him."

Pei Xu was not surprised. Since this man dared to touch Gu Jiaorong, he must have been prepared to be caught.

"Let him talk."

Pei Xu stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Liu Cheng with cold eyes.

Liu Cheng knew that he was doomed to die. No matter whether Aunt Gu was dead or alive, since he dared to do such a thing, he would not escape death.

"My Lord, please kill me, please kill me!"

Liu Cheng shouted, but Pei Xu saw fear in his eyes, the fear of death.

"You don't want to die, but you're unwilling to reveal the mastermind behind this. There's no such thing as this. Liu Cheng, if you don't want to talk about it, then there's no need to talk about it."

Pei Xu's tone was calm, and his words also determined Liu Cheng's fate.

If he wanted to find the person who poisoned him, he didn't have to rely on Liu Cheng alone, but since he dared to do such a thing, he had to bear the consequences of being caught.

"Don't let him die, and don't let him live. I want him to suffer every day. As for his family..."

Liu Cheng looked at the tall man in the shadows and was suddenly frightened. He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, my parents are innocent. Please let them go. I will confess everything."

However, it's too late.

General Wu blocked his mouth and didn't give him a chance to speak.

Pei Xu no longer cared about the people behind him. He had been out for a while and had to go back to see Gu Jiaorong.

Although she appeared calm today, she was inevitably frightened because someone was trying to poison her.

"Fuan, I want to see the results tomorrow."

Pei Xu spoke again just before he stepped into Gu Jiaorong's yard.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Fu'an dared not disobey, after all, this was a big deal.

It not only concerns the life of Aunt Gu, but also the life of the unborn little master.

Ever since learning that Aunt Gu was pregnant, the prince's subordinates have been very happy and looking forward to the arrival of the young master.

The person who did this really found the prince's weakness.

If this was a decision made by the palace, then such a thing would probably happen again in the future.

Pei Xu didn't know Fu An's guess. He walked to the bed and looked at Gu Jiaorong.

Unexpectedly, the person who was originally sleeping on the bed actually spoke, "My Lord, where have you been?"

"I just went to change my clothes. I'll lie down with you for a while. Let's go to sleep."

Pei Xu lay beside her and patted her back gently, but a dark light flashed in his eyes.

When he met Liu Cheng, he had no intention of interrogating him. He just wanted to meet the person who wanted to hurt Gu Jiaorong and the child.

He looks like an ordinary person, but he has such courage only because someone has something against him. There are countless people like him who are willing to sacrifice their lives, and he can no longer take it lightly.

Just having Shaoyao and Fanglan is not enough, and the court doctor who takes the patient's pulse every day may not be trustworthy.

Pei Xu had a plan in mind, and he hugged Gu Jiaorong and closed his eyes.

He didn't sleep, but just lay in bed to spend time with Gu Jiaorong.

Until Gu Jiaorong woke up, he also sat up.

"I thought the prince had left."

Gu Jiaorong looked at Pei Xu and pursed her lips and said, "Your Highness is busy. There is no need to waste your time on such a small matter."

Although she felt relieved when she saw Pei Xu when she opened her eyes, she knew that it shouldn't be like this.

"There's nothing important going on lately, so I'll spend more time with you these two days."

Pei Xu understood her intention to drive him away, but he pretended not to know.

He was so shameless that Gu Jiaorong didn't know what to say.

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty."

She lowered her eyes and bit her red lips slightly, and her scattered black hair added a touch of softness to her.

Pei Xu reached out and brushed the hair by her ear, then touched her cheek. The temperature was much more normal than before and no longer cold.

"Rong'er, you've already given birth to my children. You don't have to be so polite in private. I like you to be more casual."

Pei Xu said in a low voice, his eyes were deep, hiding emotions that Gu Jiaorong could not understand, and it seemed that there were many things he had not said.

Gu Jiaorong never asked too many questions. She knew very well that there were some things that could not be said or asked about. The more she knew, the more dangerous it would be.

With Pei Xu's status, he must be cautious in everything he does.

As his bedmate, Gu Jiaorong is the same.

"it is good."

Gu Jiaorong responded softly and turned away, no longer looking into his eyes.

Those eyes hid so much that she couldn't understand them.
