Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Chapter 151 Disaster

Pei Yunqing couldn't hold back his smile when he heard this, but he still pretended to be sad and said, "Don't worry, Fu'an, with Cui Yuan here, Brother Xu will definitely be safe."

Cui Yuanzheng: You two have already discussed this? Without even asking for my opinion?

However, Pei Yunqing's identity was there, so Cui Changying raised her eyelids, but ultimately did not speak, instead taking his pulse carefully.

Pei Xu's pulse was very irregular, indicating that he was indeed poisoned.

Cui Changying couldn't say whether Doctor Hu could cure the disease, but he was truly involved in this fight.

Cui Changying just felt unlucky. He was already at the age to retire and return home, and he shouldn't have been dragged into this matter in the first place.

A person cannot be the punching bag of three generations of a family in his lifetime.

"Your Majesty, the poison you were poisoned with is extremely toxic. I am not sure how to handle it, so I can only try my best."

Cui Changying stroked his beard and sighed.

"Even if he is truly cured, the prince's internal strength will probably not be as strong as before."

This is good news for Pei Yunqing.

If Pei Xu's martial arts skills were wasted, even if he managed to survive, he would be easier to deal with.

Pei Yunqing was secretly happy, but the worry on his face became even more intense.

Pei Xu, who was watching him from the side, lowered his eyes and thought: "He is a good actor, comparable to his own father."

In comparison, the Crown Prince and the Third Prince do not seem like biological children.

"Life and death are determined by fate. Cui Yuanzheng, there is no need to feel regretful. Just do your best."

Pei Xu smiled and spoke calmly, as if he really didn't care.

But who can really put life and death aside?

In any case, Pei Yunqing couldn't do it, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to hide for so many years until now.

"Since the prince says so, then this old minister will do his best."

Cui Changying didn't say much. After serving as an official for decades, he had long understood that disaster comes from the mouth.

What's more, the fifth prince beside him might not have seen it.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to reach where he is today in such a short time.

Cui Changying had experienced a struggle for the throne. At that time, Pei Xu's father was about the same age. He had made many achievements, but unlike his brothers, he had no intention of seizing the throne and only wanted to stabilize the country.

Now, his son is right in front of Cui Changying, and he has also followed his old path.

In the end, Cui Changying didn't say anything more. He wrote down the prescription, gave it to Fu'an and left.

Pei Yunqing did not stay too long this time. He had already learned all the information he wanted to know, so there was no reason for him to stay any longer.

Gu Jiaorong, whom he had never been able to see, naturally could not be seen today either. He knew the answer without asking.

Although she is emotionally fragile, Pei Xu doesn't seem to be tired of Gu Jiaorong yet.

Pei Yunqing snorted, somewhat looking forward to the day when lovers would become enemies.

He wrote so many stories about infatuated men and resentful women, but he did not truly believe in love. He just felt that this method could help him screen out time travelers more quickly.

It turns out that this method is indeed effective.

He found her.

.

Pei Xu did not use the prescription left by Cui Changying. He already had the antidote in his hand, but he created the impression in the mansion that he was taking the medicine to detoxify.

Pei Yunqing also brought people to deliver the things, and by the way, confirmed again that Pei Xu was still poisoned.

"This is the third time I've tried. Pei Yunqing is really suspicious."

Gu Jiaorong frowned and sat beside Pei Xu's bed.

Pei Xu had just taken the antidote and his complexion still looked bad, but fortunately Gu Jiaorong didn't have to worry anymore.

"This should be the last time."

Pei Xu's voice was weak, but there was a smile on his face.

He grabbed Gu Jiaorong's hand and touched it carefully, as if he was touching a precious treasure.

Gu Jiaorong also let him do what he wanted. After all, this man's body had not fully recovered yet and he couldn't do anything ridiculous.

"I hope this is the last time, otherwise I really want to hire a killer to assassinate him."

It was rare for Gu Jiaorong to be angry. She had always been good-tempered.

Pei Xu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

"He is a prince after all. It's not that easy to kill him. Otherwise, his brothers would have hired countless assassins to kill him."

What Pei Xu said was true. The prince was under house arrest because of Pei Yunqing's scheme and now hated him to death.

Originally, the prince was the emperor's closest person, and many things that the emperor could not do were left to the prince to handle. Now Pei Yunqing jumped out, which was a naked provocation.

"Now that he's convinced I'm useless, he'll turn his attention to the two brothers. All we have to do is watch the fight from afar."

Pei Xu smiled and said that this was the purpose of his coming back after being poisoned.

Pei Yunqing is a poisonous snake hiding in the dark. If he is not allowed to rest assured, he will keep staring at Gu Jiaorong.

Even though Pei Xu was guarding Gu Jiaorong all the time, he was still afraid of making a mistake.

Fortunately, Pei Yunqing is still an arrogant man at heart, and he doesn't think much of Gu Jiaorong. He just thinks that if he gets rid of her support, she will not pose a threat to him.

"But his two brothers are no match for him."

Gu Jiaorong frowned, her tone still filled with worry.

But this is indeed true. The Crown Prince and the Third Prince are of the same strength, otherwise they would not have fought for so many years.

"Even if he's not his match, there's no way he can kill them now."

Pei Xu saw clearly that Pei Yunqing did not have such means at the moment.

"Don't worry, Rong'er. We can just stay at home and live our own lives."

Gu Jiaorong nodded, but always felt that things were not that simple.

But she didn't say this.

The days passed one by one, and Pei Xu's health improved.

During this period, the emperor also sent people to see Pei Xu. Pei Xu only said that he was much better, but he was afraid that he would not be able to recover to his former state and would never be able to fight in the battlefield again.

It was good news that Pei Xu could not lead troops to fight. The emperor must have been very happy and told him to rest assured and not rush to attend court.

It was not until the end of September that an imperial edict came and Pei Xu could no longer hide in peace.

"It's ridiculous! The court only learned about the locust plague in July now. I'm afraid the people have already been displaced thousands of miles away."

Gu Jiaorong smiled sarcastically. She really felt that this dynasty was somewhat corrupt.

Pei Xu also thought so, "Those corrupt officials should be dealt with properly, otherwise the people will suffer."

It is not obvious in normal times, but when famine and disaster strike, these corrupt officials are still like termites, and you can see how powerful they are.

"I originally thought that I would take the opportunity to deal with Chunzhi after I recovered, but now it seems that I can wait a little longer."

Pei Xu lowered his eyes and said, "These corrupt officials must be in collusion with the Xie family. If we get rid of them and cut off all the branches of the Xie family, it will be easy to deal with Chunzhi as well."

He had his own ideas, and Gu Jiaorong naturally had no objections.

"But the Emperor's decree requires us to take the Third Prince with us. He might be able to protect those people."

Gu Jiaorong knew that Pei Yunzhao was colluding with officials, so she would definitely not let anything happen to those who depended on her.

Hearing this, Pei Xu smiled ostentatiously.

"Once we're out of the capital, what can Pei Yunzhao do to me? I'll make him lose a layer of skin."
