Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Chapter 225 Men can’t say no

Pei Xu looked into her eyes and knew what she was thinking.

"Rong'er, you really need a lesson."

Pei Xu said calmly, but there was danger hidden in his tone.

Gu Jiaorong had a strange intuition that she would not be able to get out of bed tomorrow.

But she pursed her lips and refused to show weakness.

Once she gave in, it would confirm her intention to tease Pei Xu.

"God and Heaven, I'm truly concerned about your Majesty's health. How would I know what the Imperial Kitchen is thinking? Otherwise, I'll punish them by not allowing them to have dinner tomorrow!"

Gu Jiaorong made an innocent expression, but what was the difference between punishing her and not punishing her?

Could it be that Pei Xu was really keeping an eye on those people in the imperial kitchen and not letting them eat?

"Since Rong'er cares about me so much, why not show some concern for me today."

Pei Xu's expression became more dangerous, and his hands were no longer just supporting her.

Gu Jiaorong wanted to argue a few more times, but her mouth was blocked and she could no longer utter a word. She could only look at him with her watery eyes, looking extremely pitiful.

But Pei Xu, a hard-hearted man at this moment, would never let her go.

He swallowed all of Gu Jiaorong's words, and her consciousness began to blur.

Gu Jiaorong could only cling to him like a small boat in the sea, trying hard to make herself less shaky.

She seemed to have forgotten that the wind and rain were brought about by the man in front of her.

But this is not important. She only needs to concentrate on dealing with Pei Xu.

……

When Gu Jiaorong opened her eyes again, she was too weak to speak.

She looked at the man beside the bed with resentment, thinking that she would never feed him tonic soup again, as this tonic soup was too effective.

Pei Xu couldn't help but laugh when he saw her looking at him like that: "You brought this upon yourself, are you still blaming me?"

Gu Jiaorong: What you said makes sense, but I suggest you not to say it.

Gu Jiaorong silently pulled up the quilt, shut herself in, and no longer looked at him.

Seeing her like this, Pei Xu didn't say anything.

He went out and soon came back with the teapot.

"Does your throat feel uncomfortable? Would you like some water?"

There was concern in Pei Xu's tone, but Gu Jiaorong still didn't want to pay attention to her.

If this person really cared about her, he should have stopped yesterday when she shouted stop.

Now that it's hindsight, she won't appreciate it.

However, she still drank the water that was brought to her mouth.

Although she didn't speak, she knew that her voice must be hoarse.

After drinking a glass of water, she felt much better and then spoke.

"Your Majesty, why are you still here? Aren't you busy today?"

Gu Jiaorong was actually a little surprised. She didn't expect that she would be able to see Pei Xu when she woke up.

After all, now that the envoys have arrived, Pei Xu should be busy.

"Don't worry, I've already given the order, they know what to do."

Pei Xu didn't feel tired of working, but he felt that there was no need to be too anxious to receive the envoy, and it was not his place to be anxious at this time.

Gu Jiaorong heard him say this and said with a smile, "It seems that Your Majesty has made up his mind."

"I wouldn't say I'm completely confident, but I'm just too lazy to get entangled with them any further. So I'll leave them alone for now. When their patience wears off, I'll go meet them and discuss things with them. That way, I'll be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Pei Xu curled his lips, revealing a shrewd expression.

Gu Jiaorong was silent for a moment, thinking that this man was a black-hearted person. Fortunately, she and Pei Xu were not enemies, otherwise she would have been included in his plan.

But she didn't say such words out loud, and even flattered him.

"Your Majesty is wise."

Pei Xu knew at a glance that Gu Jiaorong was just pretending to be good, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at her with a smile.

Gu Jiaorong felt guilty when he looked at her, so she hid under the quilt again.

"Your Majesty, please go back to your work and don't bother me. I feel really guilty about you always wasting your time here."

Gu Jiaorong lied with her eyes open. She clearly just didn't want to see Pei Xu.

Pei Xu calculated the time and it was almost time to get busy, but seeing Gu Jiaorong's expectant look, he still teased her on purpose.

"My most important task now is to take care of you. The rest will be handled by the people below."

As soon as Pei Xu said this, Gu Jiaorong wanted to get out of bed and perform a backflip for him.

"Your Majesty, I have nothing to do here. Don't worry about me. Go and do your own thing."

Gu Jiaorong didn't want him to stay here any longer. If she accidentally said something wrong and got herself into trouble, her waist would be in tatters.

Come to think of it, she hasn't been this tired for a long time, and it's not the first time after all.

Pei Xu really wanted to teach her a lesson yesterday.

It is not a good thing for a man to overdo it.

Although Gu Jiaorong was very sensible this time, there is no guarantee that she will do something bad again next time.

Moreover, with the two children following them, they were actually much less affectionate than before. For Pei Xu, this was indeed a good opportunity, and it was Gu Jiaorong who brought it to him.

Pei Xu naturally would not tell Gu Jiaorong about this idea, otherwise Gu Jiaorong would definitely feel embarrassed again.

So, he just bent his eyes, smiled and asked: "Rong'er, do you really not want me to take care of you?"

Gu Jiaorongrong shook her head repeatedly, "No, no, go and get busy."

Now that Pei Xu is gone, she can finally rest assured.

Gu Jiaorong looked at Pei Xu eagerly, hoping that he would do what she wanted.

Pei Xu naturally saw it, but he pretended to be sad just to make her happy.

"Well, since Rong'er doesn't need me, I'll leave. But I'm really sad. I made time to spend with you."

If someone else heard Pei Xu's words, they might be moved.

But Gu Jiaorong's heart was as hard as a rock and she didn't react at all.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, but I still hope that Your Majesty will prioritize state affairs. As for me, I have Shaoyao to take care of me, so Your Majesty doesn't need to worry."

Even if Gu Jiaorong was really feeling unwell, she felt that Shaoyao could take better care of her.

Not to mention, her current discomfort was all due to the man in front of her.

Seeing that she really didn't intend to keep him, Pei Xu could only raise his hand to rub his hair and sigh helplessly.

"Then I'll really be busy."

Pei Xu was the emperor of a country after all, and he was not idle. There were many things that needed to be handled by him personally.

Gu Jiaorong hummed a few times and watched him leave without any reluctance.

She didn't come out of bed until Pei Xu left.

At this time, her arms were also covered with marks left by Pei Xu.

“This person is really…”

Gu Jiaorong raised her hand to cover her slightly hot cheeks. They were an old couple, yet they were still so passionate.

Although they are still young, Gu Jiaorong has this feeling.

Fortunately, Pei Xu had already left the bedroom, otherwise he would have definitely shown her with his own actions that he was still capable even if they were an old couple.

Men can’t say no!
