Xie Wanning had long guessed she would say this, and smiled, "Chunzhi and Luo'er are both my people, after all. This matter can be considered as my lax management. Although Chunzhi is dead, as her master, I also want to apologize on her behalf. This is a tonic I carefully selected, which is perfect for your pregnancy. It is also a token of my appreciation."

As soon as Xie Wanning finished speaking, the maid behind her opened the box and handed it to Gu Jiaorong.

Gu Jiaorong didn't need to look carefully to know that the things in the box were extremely precious and not easily obtained.

"The gift from the princess is too valuable. I cannot accept it."

Gu Jiaorong refused without even blinking.

Although she had not seen too many good things, she knew that some things should not be collected casually.

"They are just some common things. Why can't I accept them? If you don't accept them, I will be uneasy. I believe Chunzhi will feel the same in the afterlife."

Xie Wanning did not feel sad at all when she mentioned the deceased.

Gu Jiaorong knew that if she didn't accept this thing, Xie Wanning would not stop, so she winked at Shaoyao.

"Since the princess has said so, it would be a bit ungrateful if I didn't accept it. Thank you very much, princess."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shaoyao took the box from the maids.

"We are sisters, and you are pregnant with the prince's child. I should have taken good care of you, but my headache came back a few days ago, so I didn't come to see you. Just take these supplements, don't be polite. When you're done, I'll send someone to bring them back to you. This way, you will definitely add a plump little master to the palace."

Xie Wanning was so magnanimous, it seemed that she really didn't mind that Pei Xu's child came from another woman's belly.

Gu Jiaorong nodded in thanks, but was thinking in her heart that Xie Wanning seemed a little different from before, but more like the person described in the book.

But these were just her feelings. Without any evidence, she naturally couldn't act rashly.

"It's getting late, and you're not feeling well, so I won't bother you here anymore."

Xie Wanning said a few more words and then said goodbye and went back.

Gu Jiaorong naturally wouldn't keep her. After all, they didn't see through Xie Wanning's intentions.

Shaoyao went to see Xie Wanning off, while Gu Jiaorong looked at the things on the table and said lightly: "Yueyan, go ask Divine Doctor Chu to come over and tell him to take a look at something."

After all, she was worried and couldn't feel at ease if she didn't let Chu Fenghua see it.

Yue Yan responded neatly, "Yes," and trotted off to find Chu Fenghua.

She always listens to Gu Jiaorong, especially since it concerns Gu Jiaorong's safety.

Shaoyao was also afraid that Xie Wanning would tamper with it, so she placed the thing on the corner of the table, away from Gu Jiaorong.

"Auntie, this thing..."

After Shaoyao sent Xie Wanning back, she planned to deal with the things.

Gu Jiaorong was not in a hurry. "Wait a moment. I have asked Yueyan to invite Doctor Chu."

No matter whether the gift Xie Wanning gave her was good or bad, she had to have an answer in her heart.

Chu Fenghua stayed in the backyard and didn't go anywhere else, so he arrived quickly.

He knew Pei Xu's attitude towards Princess Xie Wanning, so he was not surprised. He did not ask Gu Jiaorong's opinion, but went forward to check the things.

"Auntie, there's nothing wrong with the things the princess sent, but they're not suitable for consumption at the same time, and you can't eat too much. If you eat too much, the fetus will easily become too large during delivery, leading to a difficult birth."

Chu Fenghua told the truth. He didn't understand the harem struggles, nor did he know that although these things were fine, the person who sent them had evil intentions.

"Thank you, Divine Doctor Chu, but I don't need these things. After all, my food is taken care of by the people arranged by the prince. Even if Divine Doctor Chu needs these things, please take them away."

Although it is a good thing, it may not be a good thing to keep it with Gu Jiaorong.

Gu Jiaorong is not a greedy person. She cannot walk away when she sees precious things. She also knows that giving it to Chu Fenghua is the best choice.

Chu Fenghua was not a polite person. Since Gu Jiaorong said she would give it to him, he really accepted it.

Shaoyao spoke only after Chu Fenghua left.

"Auntie, I feel that the princess has come with ill intentions. Even if she speaks sweetly, she is only doing it for herself."

What Shaoyao said was true. Xie Wanning could not lose her status as the Princess of Su. Her subordinates Chunzhi and Luoer had committed the crime of murdering her offspring. Even if they were dead, it was still her responsibility as their master.

"I will report this to the prince."

Gu Jiaorong shook her head and said with a smile, "You don't need to report it. What happened today will definitely reach the ears of the prince."

Ever since someone tried to poison Gu Jiaorong, Pei Xu secretly left someone to protect her.

Even though not everyone can enter Prince Su's Mansion, there are still some restless people in the mansion.

"I'm a little greedy, go to the kitchenette and take a look."

Gu Jiaorong didn't eat much in the morning, so she was indeed a little hungry at this moment, and it was not to coax Shaoyao.

Just as Gu Jiaorong had thought, Pei Xu soon learned about Xie Wanning's visit.

After Pei Xu finished his work, he immediately returned to the palace.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Gu Jiaorong happily eating ginger-scented plums.

When Shaoyao and Yueyan saw the prince coming, they quietly retreated.

"My Lord, you came back so early today!"

Gu Jiao was probably too surprised. Her eyes were wide open and her cheeks were puffed up, like a little squirrel.

"I'm coming back early to keep you company, aren't you happy?"

Pei Xu touched her cheek to make sure her body temperature was normal and she was not feeling unwell due to being too cold.

Gu Jiaorong was already used to his behavior and let him touch her obediently.

"I'm happy, but is this okay, Your Highness? If you're busy, you don't have to come back to see me. Now that we have Divine Doctor Chu here, the child and I will be safe."

Gu Jiaorong acted well-behaved and spoke very considerately.

In fact, she didn't really need Pei Xu's company, Shaoyao and others could take good care of her.

But when Pei Xu heard this, he was quite dissatisfied.

Although it was not yet three months old and he could not touch Gu Jiaorong, he still bent down, pinched her chin, and kissed her.

There was still a bitter taste of plum in Gu Jiaorong's mouth, but after repeated tasting, Pei Xu could taste some sweetness in it. He was a natural predator, and wherever he went, Gu Jiaorong could not defend herself.

She could only hold the corner of his clothes tightly, entrust herself to him, and let him take the air from her mouth.

Occasionally, a small sound would slip out, but the sound was so delicate and soft that it did not make the man feel pity for her. Instead, it made him want to bully her even more.

Fortunately, Pei Xu still had some sense and knew that she was still pregnant and he couldn't do anything too extreme, so he let her go without satisfying her.

But his dark eyes were still staring at Gu Jiaorong's watery red lips for a moment, as if he was afraid that the beautiful girl in front of him would escape.
