Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Shaoyao's words were valid, so Gu Jiaorong didn't ask any more questions.

"It will be fine after two days of vomiting. Don't worry."

Gu Jiaorong didn't take morning sickness seriously. When she decided to give birth to the child, she was already prepared to suffer.

It is never easy for a woman to give birth to a life.

She paid the price of her own life, used her frail body, and brought the crying baby into this world.

Even so, Shaoyao still felt heartbroken.

"I'll go to the kitchen and check. It's not a good idea for Auntie to vomit like this. She needs to eat something."

Gu Jiaorong was not in good spirits and did not stop her.

It just so happened that she also needed some private space to think about what Chu Fenghua had said.

She naturally knew that Xie Wanning had bad intentions. The Xie Wanning in the book was a person who was very good at disguise, and now Xie Wanning seemed to be gradually becoming like that.

This is very strange. Can a person's temperament change so quickly?

Even if Gu Jiaorong knew the plot of the book, she would not be able to solve the mystery.

"Auntie, please try the red dates and bird's nest that the kitchen has just made. See if it suits your taste."

Shaoyao came over with a small bowl and brought Gu Jiaorong back to her senses.

She couldn't think of anything, and was interrupted by Shaoyao. She wasn't annoyed, but she just had no appetite at the moment.

"Auntie, please eat something. If you lose weight any more, how can your body bear it? Besides, if the prince comes back and sees you like this, I'm afraid he will be heartbroken."

Shaoyao advised gently and even pulled Pei Xu out.

Gu Jiaorong had no intention of arguing with Shaoyao about whether the prince felt distressed, and Shaoyao was doing it for her own good, so she took the bowl.

"It will probably take a few days for the prince to come back."

Gu Jiaorong knew that he left this time because there must be progress in the development of gunpowder. This was extremely important to Pei Xu, and he would definitely keep an eye on it personally until there were better results.

Just as she thought, when Pei Xu arrived at the camp, he went to see the craftsman immediately without even taking a break to sit down.

These people were his confidants and also his father's old subordinates. Pei Xu felt very relieved to hand over the task of developing gunpowder to them.

If it weren't for the huge progress this time, he wouldn't have come here at this critical juncture.

"The prince is here."

When the craftsman heard this, he put down his work and prepared to stand up and salute.

"No need to be so polite, just tell me the results of the research."

Pei Xu quickly stopped him. He was not someone who cared about red tape.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The craftsman also knew Pei Xu's temperament, so he responded and took the drawings.

"Your Highness, please look. I've studied the drawings you sent me one by one. Although there are some flaws, or some materials are unavailable, these materials are not completely irreplaceable. I re-drew them again these past few days. Although they are different from the previous drawings, I think this way they will be more convenient to use. I've also made two, just in time for Your Highness to try them out."

Pei Xu was very interested in the muskets and caltrop fireballs, and he listened with great interest to what the craftsman said, so he was eager to try them out.

"Okay, I'll give it a try. It's a good opportunity to see how powerful this gunpowder is."

In the description given to him by Shen Zhaohua, the caltrop fireball was very suitable for defending the city, while the musket was even more suitable for attacking the city.

However, whether it is attacking or defending, he is the only one who has the gunpowder and can make the weapons, which is beneficial to him.

Pei Xu was a quick learner and immediately mastered the use of the musket and caltrop fireball.

"Yes, you have worked really hard these days. With these, our army will be the most powerful in the world."

Pei Xu curled his lips, this way he could feel more at ease.

"In addition to the fire gun and the caltrop fireball, we also need to study the thunder bomb. As for the silver, don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Pei Xu said this with confidence. After all, Prince Su's family was wealthy and powerful, and he was usually very frugal. Although he now had a daughter, Gu Jiaorong, he was not a spoiled and extravagant person.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. We have already achieved some results. The next things will be much easier."

The craftsman was a person who liked to study, and he was very happy to be assigned such a job.

Pei Xu stayed in the military camp for three days in a row, going to the firearm camp every day.

This is a team he secretly established. If anything unexpected happens, this firearms battalion will be his biggest trump card.

Three days later, he planned to return to the palace.

"I think Aunt Gu must be missing the prince after not seeing him for three days."

Fuan spoke with a smile. His master was happy these days, and he was really happy in his heart too.

Now the prince's life has finally gotten better. Not only does he have a successor, but he is also no longer afraid of being threatened.

When mentioning Gu Jiaorong, Pei Xu's eyes also warmed up.

But he still chuckled and said, "I think she might not miss me. It's possible that she is secretly cursing me in her heart."

-

Although Gu Jiaorong did not scold Pei Xu, she did blame this man for his lack of self-control. Otherwise, she would not be pregnant with a baby, disturbing her sleep.

"Auntie, you were always quiet at night, why are you vomiting so violently today?"

Yueyan was so worried that she wished she could suffer for Gu Jiaorong.

Gu Jiaorong didn't know either. She had previously thought that the child was sensible. Although the child always made her suffer from morning sickness during the day, he never made her feel uncomfortable at night.

"I don't know what happened tonight, but I feel a little uncomfortable."

Gu Jiaorong frowned and asked, "Could it be that something happened?"

She just said it casually, but no one expected that in the second half of the night, an assassin would actually try to sneak into the palace.

Fortunately, Pei Xu had many people staying with him, so there was not much noise.

Shaoyao ordered the man to be pushed down and went to look at Gu Jiaorong.

"Auntie, you're not scared, are you? They're just a few assassins, nothing serious. The prince left a lot of people behind when he left, and they will never let you get hurt."

They just didn't expect that only three days after the prince left, some people were already impatient.

Gu Jiaorong's face turned pale, but she still shook her head.

"I'm fine. I just vomited a lot today. Have those assassins been caught?"

Gu Jiaorong guessed that these assassins were not sent by Xie Wanning, but must be people from the palace. Pei Xu's whereabouts might have been exposed.

"He's been caught, don't worry, Auntie."

Shaoyao nodded. Looking at Gu Jiaorong's expression, she felt that those assassins were hateful for attempting the assassination at this time.

"It's good that they've been caught. Let's interrogate them carefully. They know the prince's whereabouts."

Gu Jiaorong knew that the servants in the palace were all loyal people, but it was too strange that they came to assassinate her at this time.

"And the three girls from Jiang Yunxuan, go check on them and see how they are doing. They must be frightened."

Gu Jiaorong guessed that they were responsible, but she couldn't say that they were dead. She could only ask Shaoyao to check if they had gone to bed. If they were not asleep, they must be involved in the assassination.

After all, if you send someone to assassinate someone, you must wait for news. Otherwise, how can you know whether it is successful or not?
