Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Chapter 170 Love is the source of possessiveness

When Pei Xu came back, he heard these words.

He didn't know whether he should be happy about Gu Jiaorong's trust or admire her generosity.

If other women found out that their husbands had another woman, they would never say such words, even if they didn't cry and make a fuss.

But he also knew in his heart that only when there is love can there be possessiveness.

Gu Jiaorong didn't love him, so when something happened, she could withdraw in time.

Now she doesn't leave only because of the interests involved.

Gu Jiaorong has been targeted by Pei Yunqing, and even if she leaves Pei Xu, Pei Yunqing will not let her go.

In this situation, it is safer to stay with Pei Xu.

Thinking of this, Pei Xu's eyes dimmed.

No matter what, he had to keep Gu Jiaorong, even if it meant using some tricks.

Of course, he didn't hope that this day would happen.

"Rong'er, what are you talking about?"

Pei Xu pretended not to hear their conversation and strode towards Gu Jiaorong.

When Shaoyao saw Pei Xu coming back, she left on her own accord, leaving the space to Pei Xu.

"Nothing much, just some small talk."

Gu Jiaorong smiled. She indeed treated this as gossip.

"Why did you come back so early today, Your Majesty? How did you deal with that woman?"

She didn't doubt that Pei Xu had selfish motives. Just as she said, if Pei Xu had this intention, no one could stop him.

"I've handed it over to Fu'an. She's just a paid woman. Even if we try to get information out of her, we won't get anything useful."

It was impossible for Pei Yunqing to meet this woman in person, and the people around him were all minions, so Pei Xu naturally didn't know them.

But after all, they also knew that Pei Yunqing had been using tricks all the time, and he was probably still unwilling to give in.

"Actually, I think it would be better to send it directly to Pei Yunqing's house. He must have guessed that we knew he was the one who did it. Sending him there now can serve as a reminder to him."

Gu Jiaorong doesn't like to deal with such things all the time. She would rather be a salted fish and not care about anything.

Pei Xu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll let Fu'an do it."

"You came very quickly today. Don't do it again next time. If Pei Yunqing has other plans, it would be more trouble than good if you get hurt."

Pei Xu has always been cautious about Gu Jiaorong's affairs, and Gu Jiaorong knows it, but she has been really bored staying at home recently.

"But I want to go out for a walk."

Gu Jiaorong pursed her lips and looked at Pei Xu with pity in her eyes.

"Your Highness, I've been staying in this yard every day and I'm almost getting moldy. There's no danger outside now, so please let me go out for a walk."

That’s what he said, but how could Pei Xu be at ease?

Although it looks calm, Jinzhou City is not really safe. Not to mention Pei Yunqing's little trick, the private soldiers Pei Yunzhao raised here are also a danger.

"I'm still a little worried about you. Hu Dequan's actions are too slow. He still hasn't dealt with Pei Yunzhao's private soldiers."

If Pei Yunzhao was gone, Pei Xu would feel a little more at ease.

"Your Highness, why don't you help them? I see that the old eunuch is not very efficient in his work."

Gu Jiaorong rolled her eyes and spoke.

In fact, she knew in her heart that it was not that Hu Dequan was inefficient, but that the emperor had given him some instructions not to touch Pei Yunzhao.

"I'll arrange for someone to do it tomorrow. The new batch of spies should be back tonight."

Although Pei Xu said that he didn't care about this matter, he had made arrangements for many people. If you want to get something done, you can't rely entirely on others.

Gu Jiaorong had nothing to say when she saw this. Pei Xu was more thoughtful than her in many things.

"Let's not talk about these troublesome things. Your Highness, are you tired? Sit down and have a good rest. I asked Shaoyao to stew some white fungus soup. It's perfect now. Your Highness, please have a bowl later."

Gu Jiaorong arranged things for him with a smile, not afraid of him getting angry at all.

Pei Xu seemed to have gotten used to it, so he didn't refuse.

"By the way, Chu Fenghua will be here in a few days. I'll feel relieved if he lives in the mansion and can look after you."

Pei Xu still couldn't completely trust Gu Jiaorong. As the months went by, her movements became more inconvenient.

Even if Gu Jiaorong herself thought that there was nothing wrong, he could not let her go out with such a big belly.

After all, he is not the guard, so he can't notice everything.

Although peony is considerate, it cannot be thoughtful about everything.

The more Pei Xu thought about it, the more worried he became about her going out.

"Okay, with Divine Doctor Chu here, I feel more at ease."

Gu Jiaorong was afraid of death after all. Although she said that it was okay, she was no less afraid than others in her heart.

However, it is true that it is boring to stay in this house.

"In a few days, after I finish the things I have on hand, I will take you out for a walk."

Although Pei Xu had settled the refugees and distributed food, he failed to truly stabilize the people's hearts.

Not only was he worried about how the winter would pass, the people also shared the same patience.

Everyone wants to live, and no one wants to die.

If there was no other way, those people would not have chosen to leave their homes.

Gu Jiaorong had gone out today, so she was not in a hurry to leave immediately.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you, my lord."

She nodded with her eyes curved, her eyes full of joy as she looked at Pei Xu.

Seeing her like this, Pei Xu couldn't help but move closer to her and kiss her red lips.

Now that Gu Jiaorong is gradually feeling a little uncomfortable, he naturally won't do anything too excessive, and he is also very restrained when getting close to her.

But this does not mean that Gu Jiaorong's attraction to him has decreased.

It was just a kiss, but he already had some reaction.

Gu Jiaorong was in his arms, leaning against him, feeling his warmth and his reaction.

She was a little surprised, but understood that this was normal.

Pei Xu hadn't been able to relax these days, and he didn't even have time to be intimate with her. Now that they were able to be intimate with each other, he naturally felt something very quickly.

But it was still broad daylight, and Gu Jiaorong didn't want to mess around with him.

Even though Gu Jiaorong was born beautiful, after she became pregnant, she didn't think she was as pretty as before, and she didn't want Pei Xu to see her like that.

Pei Xu didn't mind. When Gu Jiaorong was distracted, he placed his hot palm on her waist.

He liked to be close to Gu Jiaorong, even if it was Gu Jiaorong at this moment.

In his eyes, Gu Jiaorong did not become ugly. She was as beautiful as before, and even had a different feeling.

That was the softness of her motherhood and her mature temperament.

Gu Jiaorong might have been a somewhat unripe fruit in the past, but now she has become rosy and attractive, making him like her even more.

A dark light flashed in Pei Xu's eyes, and his kiss became more and more powerful, as if he wanted to plunder all the air in her mouth.

Gu Jiaorong could only cling to him and rely on him, she had no other choice.
