Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

On the second day, when Gu Jiaorong saw the genius doctor Chu that Shaoyao had mentioned, she could not hide her surprise on her face.

"Your Highness, putting Divine Doctor Chu beside me is a bit of a waste of his talent, isn't it?"

Although Gu Jiaorong was happy that there was a reliable person to protect her, Doctor Chu was Pei Xu's right-hand man and also his military doctor, not an ordinary person.

"I can't stay with you every day. Someone has already tried to kill you. Since they haven't succeeded, they will definitely come again in the future. I feel at ease when he's around."

Pei Xu didn't think it was an exaggeration. If he could leave, he would even want to take care of Gu Jiaorong himself.

The gunpowder has been produced now, and the craftsmen are developing the muskets and firearms that Shen Zhaohua mentioned, as well as the caltrop fireballs. Once successfully developed, they will be of great help to him.

Even though Pei Xu was worried about Gu Jiaorong, he knew where he should be at this moment.

Naturally, he would not tell Gu Jiaorong these words, so he could only insist on keeping Chu Fenghua.

"Rong'er, Chu Fenghua is a disciple of Master Hua, the master of the Divine Doctor Valley. His medical skills are extremely superb, and he also has some knowledge of poisons. I can only feel at ease if he protects you and the child."

Pei Xu thought of the poisoning incident yesterday, and there was still guilt in his eyes.

Gu Jiaorong could naturally see it, and she didn't want to argue with Pei Xu. After all, this was for her safety.

"Since the prince has said so, then we can only let Divine Doctor Chu take over. I believe that with Divine Doctor Chu here, the prince can handle official business with peace of mind and serve the country."

Even if she knew everything, she would just pretend not to know now.

Chu Fenghua smiled and waved her hands, saying, "Madam Gu is too polite. What's wrong with that? I think Madam Gu's place is much better than the military camp. Those grown men are so careful that they can easily crush my herbs. The palace is still better."

There is a garden in the Prince Su's mansion where various herbs are grown. There are also many rare treasures in the mansion's storehouse that are not common on the market. They were all used by the old prince when he was sick. Chu Fenghua likes it very much. It's a pity that he can't come to the mansion often. Now he can live in the mansion permanently, don't mention how happy he is.

Gu Jiaorong didn't understand any of this. Ever since she came to the palace, she had been staying quietly in her own residence, never wandering around, so as to avoid seeing what she shouldn't see or hearing what she shouldn't hear, and getting into trouble.

"Since Divine Doctor Chu likes the palace, that's perfect."

Gu Jiaorong smiled gently and turned to look at Pei Xu.

"Your Highness, don't worry about me. I know that Your Highness has great ambitions and is dedicated to serving the public good. He shouldn't be confined to me. The child and I will be fine, and what happened yesterday will never happen again."

Gu Jiaorong also felt that yesterday was a dangerous day, but now Pei Xu has strengthened the defenses and sent Chu Fenghua over, so there will surely be no more problems.

Although Pei Xu was still reluctant, he also knew that what she said was right and he could not stay in the rear house.

"I'm leaving first. If you need anything, please send someone to look for me."

Pei Xu left a word and left in big strides.

Gu Jiaorong also returned to the recliner and continued to be a lazy person, ignoring the world.

"Doctor Chu, don't worry about me. Just go and do your own thing."

She waved her hand and sent Chu Fenghua away.

Pei Xu hadn't mentioned the poisoning yesterday to her, but she could more or less guess who it was. Princess Xie Wanning, she couldn't wait any longer.

She was familiar with the plot and knew clearly that Xie Wanning, who was obsessed with love, would not tolerate anyone competing with her for Pei Xu.

Even though Pei Xu was in a high position, he was surrounded by dangers.

If she had not diagnosed her with pregnancy, Xie Wanning might have been able to bear it, after all, there were still the three people from Jiang Yunxuan, but when she diagnosed her with pregnancy, Xie Wanning absolutely could not bear it.

The first child of Prince Su's Mansion was not born to the princess, which was tantamount to a slap in her face.

What's more, the Xie family has already placed their bets on Xie Wanning.

Even though this move was intended to please the emperor, the emperor was getting older, and if Concubine Shu and the third prince could not ascend to the throne, the Xie family would also be destroyed.

The Xie family had a special relationship with Concubine Shu, and the Crown Prince would never tolerate the Xie family. Therefore, they placed their other hope on Prince Su Pei Xu.

Pei Xu is also of royal blood. Even though he is just a prince, he should not be underestimated. No matter who sits on that position in the future, they must give Pei Xu some face. Even if his Xie family declines, it can be preserved.

If not, how could Xie Wanning marry Pei Xu as she wished.

A woman born in a powerful family, no matter how favored she is, cannot be too willful and must contribute to the family.

However, Xie Wanning's mind was full of love, and she even forgot about her family. If it weren't for Chunzhi, no one in the Xie family would be at ease.

"Chunzhi, the attempt to poison Gu Jiaorong failed."

Xie Wanning's expression was gloomy, and there was an unknown emotion in her eyes as she looked at Chunzhi.

"Your promise to me has never been fulfilled. What do you want me to trust you with?"

Chunzhi didn't expect Gu Jiaorong to be so vigilant, and Fuan had already followed the clues and caught her subordinate Luoer.

If we continue investigating, I'm afraid she will be exposed.

"Princess, I've told you before that you shouldn't rush for quick success. We should take our time so we're less likely to be discovered. But if you want to resolve this quickly, you'll inevitably have to bear the risk of failure."

Chunzhi sighed and pushed the responsibility onto Xie Wanning.

"If you'll listen to my advice, we can send her supplements every day to help her baby grow. Then she'll have a difficult birth. If we bribe the midwife, she'll surely die, and the baby will suffocate."

This plan is much better than poisoning, but it takes too long.

Xie Wanning threw the teacup in her hand away and said anxiously, "What's the point of you saying this now? Things have developed to this point. What you should do is find a way to kill that bitch."

Chunzhi shook her head. Xie Wanning was still too impatient.

"Princess, your temper and personality are so unlike a daughter of the Xie family."

She slowly walked up to Xie Wanning with disappointment in her tone.

"Our entire Xie family has placed its hopes on you, but all you can think about is a man. It would be fine if that man liked you, but you are nothing in his eyes. Princess, please stop being so stubborn and put your family first."

Xie Wanning didn't expect Chunzhi to say that. She was immediately furious and slapped her in the face.

"Snapped--"

The crisp sound of slapping was heard, and Chunzhi's cheeks turned red.

"What do you know? Ever since I saw him at the age of 13, I've decided to marry him. I've waited for him for five years, but he's never even looked at me. Now that I've finally married him, you want me to give him up, Chunzhi, what are you thinking?"

Xie Wanning did not regret hitting Chunzhi, she only hated herself for listening to Chunzhi.

If Chunzhi had not persuaded her to take Gu Jiaorong as a concubine, nothing would have happened today.

Chunzhi tilted her head and looked at Xie Wanning with a curled lip. The expression on her face was quite strange, not as submissive as usual.

"Miss, you are always so stupid. Why don't you let me be the princess?"
