Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Chapter 174: We Should Cherish

When Gu Jiaorong looked up, she saw Pei Xu, who couldn't hide his joy.

"Your Highness seems so happy today, but what good news is there?"

She asked directly, not caring whether it would upset Pei Xu.

Now she knew that Pei Xu would not get angry easily, and what she said was not fatal, so Pei Xu would not be dissatisfied.

"Of course there is something good."

Pei Xu smiled and nodded, as if he wanted to share it with Gu Jiaorong.

Seeing that their masters had something private to say, Shaoyao and the others naturally decided not to stay and be a nuisance, but quietly left the room.

When Pei Xu saw them leaving, he did not stop them, but sat next to Gu Jiaorong.

Gu Jiaorong brought a cup of tea to him and acted as if she was willing to hear more, which greatly pleased Pei Xu.

"Pei Yunqing might be anxious these days. I easily delivered Pei Yunzhao's information to him. I'm afraid he will take action soon."

To be honest, Pei Yunqing was still a little uncomfortable after being quiet for a few days.

As the saying goes, a barking dog never bites. Every time Pei Yunqing became silent, Pei Xu was worried that he was going to do something against Gu Jiaorong.

"So it's going so smoothly? No wonder the prince is so happy. If I got such news, I would be happy too."

Gu Jiaorong hoped more than anyone else that this farce could end before the New Year. This was her first New Year since she came to this world, and she didn't know how many more New Years she had left.

Even though she now has Pei Xu as her backer, does she really feel safe?

Of course there is no such thing.

No one can feel absolutely safe unless they hold power in their own hands.

What's more, this is an era where the strong prey on the weak, and it is also an era that is unfavorable to women.

If Gu Jiaorong keeps pinning her hopes on a man, it would be equivalent to giving up on herself.

No matter who the other person is, a relative or a partner, one must leave a way out for oneself, even if it is not used.

Even now, Gu Jiaorong has not forgotten to leave a way out for herself, for fear that her life will be in danger in the future.

"I had always thought this guy's methods were strange and he would be difficult to deal with, but I didn't expect him to succeed so easily. I just don't know if this was a trap set by Pei Yunqing or if he was really careless."

Pei Xu calmed down and began to analyze the matter. He was not like Pei Yunqing, who had gone crazy and had no rationality at all.

"I think he is the one now. He was able to plan an explosion before, but it was just an accident."

Gu Jiaorong analyzed this a lot in private, and she really felt that the explosion was caused by luck.

"But this kind of accidental encounter is already alarming. No one can say for sure if it will happen again next time, so we always have to be careful."

If Pei Xu hadn't brought Gu Jiaorong with him, he wouldn't be so worried.

But he didn't say such words because they sounded too much like complaints and accusations.

Pei Xu would never blame Gu Jiaorong for anything, because he knew that it was never Gu Jiaorong who made the decisions.

Although Gu Jiaorong was the most important person to him, she still did not give her too much power.

It’s not that he was on guard against Gu Jiaorong, but only by doing this would Gu Jiaorong be safe.

In the eyes of those people, if a beautiful vase cannot bring huge benefits, then keeping it around is just for the sake of pleasing the eye, and naturally there is no need to put too much thought into it.

And in their eyes, Gu Jiaorong is just such a vase.

Gu Jiaorong doesn't care what others think of her, she just wants to live.

"My Lord, when do you plan to take action?"

Gu Jiaorong knew that Pei Xu sent people to Pei Yunqing and provided him with help, and he must have wanted to make a bigger fuss.

But when and how to make the noise has not yet been decided.

Pei Xu naturally hoped to remove the two stumbling blocks at the same time, which was an easy task but not necessarily realistic.

"I don't think it will take too long for Pei Yunqing to completely trust the person I send over. After all, Pei Yunqing's desire for success is too obvious right now."

Even if Pei Xu didn't observe him deliberately, he knew what he was thinking.

It’s just that he doesn’t like to wander around among the crowd like Pei Yunqing, so he also got a moment of peace.

It was at this moment that he had the time and energy to think carefully about how to use Pei Yunqing to kill Pei Yunzhao.

Although there are conflicts between the two people now, it is not to the point of fighting or killing each other.

Pei Xu didn't know how cruel Pei Yunqing was. Even though the two of them hadn't reached that point yet, Pei Yunqing had already developed the intention to kill.

Since he wants to pave the way for himself, he must get rid of the obstacles.

"I think His Majesty will soon be able to fulfill his wish."

Gu Jiaorong smiled. She felt that Pei Yunqing was too anxious, and such anxiety would do no good.

Everything has its destiny, and we need to move forward step by step. If we take too big a step, we are bound to fall.

Pei Xu knew that Gu Jiaorong was smart and had thought through many things, so she didn't need his advice.

"That's the best outcome. I don't want a fight to break out before the New Year; that would be too unlucky."

Pei Xu didn't care about these things before, but now that he has Gu Jiaorong by his side, he started to pay attention to them.

Gu Jiaorong didn't care. As a person who enjoyed eating melons, she would be even happier if she could eat melons even during the New Year.

However, she did not tell Pei Xu about this idea.

Pei Xu is so busy every day, there is no need to let him know about this boring and childish thing.

"Is the child well behaved today? Did he bother you?"

Pei Xu had no intention of continuing to talk to her, but asked in a gentle voice.

Ever since the child could move, Pei Xu would ask this question from time to time.

Gu Jiaorong knew that she was worried about her health, so she patiently replied, "No, the child is quite well behaved most of the time."

Sometimes she even thought, maybe it was a daughter, otherwise how could she be so caring?

If it is a daughter, I don’t know whether Pei Xu really likes her.

If someone like Pei Xu really wanted to inherit the throne, he would definitely need a son. Otherwise, wouldn't all his struggle for so long have been in vain?

Although his original goal was not to take the throne, now that things have come to this, he naturally cannot refuse.

"Just be good. I'm just worried that the baby will make you uncomfortable. You've finally gained some weight these days. If you lose weight again, it won't be good."

Pei Xu's eyes were full of worry. He knew more and more clearly how difficult it was for women to give birth.

Gu Jiaorong is willing to give birth to a child for him, so he should cherish her whether he loves her or not.
