Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Chapter 166 What is snatched must be delicious

When Pei Xu stepped into the familiar house, he smiled comfortably. He knew that it was not for any other reason, but because the person he cared about most - Gu Jiaorong - lived in this yard.

As long as Gu Jiaorong was there, his home was there, and the familiar warmth instantly surrounded him the moment he stepped into the house.

He didn't want to think about anything else, so he strode into the house and went straight to his room.

It just so happened that Gu Jiaorong was sitting by the window, reading a book carefully. Her face was so peaceful and gentle, and the sunlight shining on her was like a tranquil picture.

Pei Xu's heart moved slightly, and he just wanted to hold her tightly in his arms.

At this moment, he thought of the things Wu Er had sent him, and suddenly he was filled with endless concern: "Jiaorong, how are you feeling today? Did the child bother you?"

His eyes were full of concern and love.

Gu Jiaorong knew that he must know that Pei Yunqing had sent someone, but she didn't expect that these were his first questions.

She put down the book in her hand, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea and handed it over.

"Don't be anxious, Your Majesty. Have some tea and rest first."

During her pregnancy, her sense of smell became more sensitive, so she naturally smelled the alcohol on Pei Xu.

Pei Xu did not refuse. He took the teacup and took a sip before speaking again.

"I heard Pei Yunqing sent someone to deliver something. That thing looks very strange. Are you okay?"

Gu Jiaorong was naturally fine, as she had not come into contact with that thing.

"It's okay for me. It shouldn't be a fatal thing. Pei Yunqing is not that stupid. He would cause such a big commotion just after arriving in Jinzhou City."

If something happened to Gu Jiaorong at this time, Pei Yunqing would definitely not be able to escape the responsibility, and Pei Xu would also break up with him because of this, which is obviously not worth the loss.

"Even so, you're being too reckless. You're not alone now. If something happens to you and the child, what am I supposed to do? Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about me."

Pei Xu's voice became serious. He was obviously not satisfied with Gu Jiaorong's behavior, even though she did not directly touch those things.

"Even though what he sent me today was just a box of strange beads, if he really has that intention, or if he sends something even more powerful next time, are you going to let me live in constant fear?"

What Pei Xu said made sense. Gu Jiaorong pursed her lips and did not refute.

But if she didn't do this today, how could she know what Pei Yunqing was thinking?

Although it was possible to have a servant do this, it was not as good as seeing it with her own eyes. Moreover, if Pei Yunqing wanted to harm someone through special means, he also needed to consider the right time, place and people. He had never even entered this house, so even if he had an idea, it would be impossible to realize it.

Unless Pei Yunqing comes to see it in person, and this house is quite special, the explosive effect can be achieved.

Gu Jiaorong hadn't considered Pei Yunqing's other methods. Even though she didn't know how long he'd been here, as a prince, he'd lived under the public eye since childhood. He couldn't make any drastic moves, or his identity would be easily exposed. Furthermore, his mother, Concubine Rong, wasn't favored, and his in-laws weren't as powerful as Pei Yunzhao's.

Pei Yunqing must be powerless, otherwise he would not have just sent a box of strange beads to test her.

But she didn't tell Pei Xu these words.

"Don't be angry, Your Majesty. I won't do this again next time. I'll be more careful in the future, okay?"

Gu Jiaorong curled her eyes and coaxed him softly.

In the soft light, there was an unprecedented tenderness in Gu Jiaorong's beautiful eyes. She took Pei Xu's hand and shook it as if acting coquettishly.

"Your Majesty, please stop frowning. You don't look good when you frown."

It was obvious that she said this out of arrogance. If it were in the past, she would definitely not dare to say it.

But before Pei Xu could reply, she played the sympathy card again.

"Your Majesty, I know you're worried about me. Every time I see you frowning for me, I feel like I should do better. I know full well that in this complex world, you are my most solid support and my safe haven. Without you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to live such a good life."

She lowered her head slightly, her eyes gently falling on the two people's tightly clasped hands, or if it weren't for Pei Xu, she would have died in the plot long ago.

When she first traveled through time, she was worried about the direction of the plot every day, and she always reminded herself not to forget where she came from and who she was.

She had died once, so she was extremely afraid of death.

"Your Highness, I've told you before that I'm a coward. If I can live well, I will never put myself in danger. But Pei Yunqing has already set his sights on me. If I don't do something, he will definitely take the next step."

Gu Jiaorong's behavior today was not special, but it clearly told Pei Yunqing that she was not that easy to mess with.

If Pei Yunqing insisted on staring at her, she wouldn't mind fighting to the death.

But this is only a last resort. If possible, she would rather solve everything without bloodshed.

"Rong'er, you really are..."

Pei Xu sighed before he finished speaking, because he saw trust and expectation in Gu Jiaorong's eyes.

Gu Jiaorong was waiting for his answer, and if he answered, he wouldn't mind.

But this is not an easy thing for Pei Xu, because he cares too much about Gu Jiaorong.

"Just this once, no more next time."

Pei Xu was ultimately defeated by Gu Jiaorong and stopped holding on to the matter.

Gu Jiaorong nodded in response, but she was thinking in her heart that if Pei Yunqing did not take any action, there would naturally not be a next time.

But this may not be an easy thing.

Pei Yunqing has already bitten Gu Jiaorong, how could he let go?

During these days, he also deeply realized how powerful Pei Xu was. Although he disdained Gu Jiaorong, the only breakthrough point in front of him now was Gu Jiaorong.

But when he returned and saw a dusty Wu Er, he understood that Gu Jiaorong had never touched that thing at all.

Just like that, Pei Xu was found at the banquet, which shows how important Gu Jiaorong is to Pei Xu.

"If I let you go, I'm afraid it will only cause trouble for myself, so I can only apologize, I have to send you back home."

Pei Yunqing stood in the study and muttered to himself, a hint of gloom flashing in his eyes.

Pei Yunzhao, Pei Xu... are all obstacles in his way, and he can only eliminate them one by one. Now it is difficult to take action against Pei Xu, and Gu Jiaorong is guarding against him tightly, so he needs to fight a protracted war.

Then, the only one left is the silly Pei Yunzhao.

Pei Yunzhao is a brainless idiot who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. The only person who is of some use is He Guangquan.

He had heard of He Guangquan. Concubine Shu had done him a favor in the past, so she asked him to stay by Pei Yunzhao's side and take care of him.

This is actually a good place to start.

Who can say that Concubine Shu didn't have a plan in mind to let He Guangquan suffer and then lend a helping hand?

Pei Yunqing naturally couldn't find the old man from that year, and had no way to explore, but this was a good place to write a story.

As for Hu Dequan, this old eunuch always wanted to offend no one, which was simply a foolish dream. Now the princes were gradually growing up and the fight for the throne had begun. As a favorite of the emperor, it was absolutely impossible for him to completely get rid of this matter unless he died.

Pei Yunqing didn't want to argue with him now. After all, he was still useful. He still needed him to investigate Pei Yunzhao's military maintenance and speak to the emperor.

However, it all depends on whether he is willing to cooperate. If he is willing to make things more serious, then Pei Yunzhao will never be able to turn things around in his life. And the beauty he gave to the emperor can also help him influence the emperor.

Pei Yunqing had planned all of this, but he still hadn't figured out what Pei Xu's intentions were.

Does he want to be regent or take over?

It is not Pei Yunqing's fault for having such an idea. It is because this person's strength is gradually growing, and his thoughts do not seem so easy to guess. Judging from the attitude of the emperor and the princes, he is also worth dealing with.

In short, he was an absolutely menacing individual.

Pei Yunqing now regards him as a serious threat and wants to get rid of him.

Others don't know, but he knows that there is a time-traveling girl by Pei Xu's side, and this woman is obviously not as simple as he sees, and she is definitely not after money.

Originally, he only thought about this woman's love-brain and put all his thoughts on men, but today's temptation made him see another possibility. This woman wanted to take advantage of Pei Xu's favor.

This is not a good thing.

With the help of the powerful Prince Su, wouldn't it be easier for her to get what she wants, rather than making a name for herself?

Pei Yunqing thought Gu Jiaorong was extremely complicated, but it was not his fault. After all, he was just that kind of person. How could he have imagined Gu Jiaorong's situation?

What's more, even if he were in such a situation, he would only think about how to gain power and how to reach the top, instead of living well and cherishing life.

"Wu Er, tell me exactly what happened. I want to know everything, including every expression on her face."

The more Pei Yunqing thought about it, the more he felt that Gu Jiaorong's purpose was not simple, so he did not dare to give up any possibility.

He must be clear about Gu Jiaorong's strength so that he can make more far-reaching plans.

Originally he didn't think Pei Xu had hot weapons, but now he has such an idea.

Firearms appeared in the Ming Dynasty, and they made the Ming Dynasty powerful.

If it weren't for the incompetence of its descendants, the Ming Dynasty might have lasted even longer.

But these were not what Pei Yunqing was considering. What he needed to consider now was the current level of training and how many weapons he had. If a war really broke out, would he have a chance of winning?

After all, he doesn't have any soldiers now, so he can only rely on these crooked ideas and crooked ways to win.

Pei Yunqing had thought about setting off an explosion to dampen Pei Xu's enthusiasm, but the conditions for making an explosion were very difficult and required good preparation. The last time he was in the dense forest, it happened to be a swamp, otherwise he would not have been able to achieve the effect of the explosion.

But it is too difficult to have such conditions in Beijing. He simply cannot do it unless he does some chemical experiments and starts to study such things, but how can he have such energy?

Wu Er didn't know what his master was thinking. After he finished telling Pei Yunqing everything in detail, he looked at Pei Yunqing's expression carefully, fearing that if he wasn't careful, his head would fall to the ground.

"Master, I really didn't hide anything, and I emphasized again and again that this thing must be delivered to Aunt Gu in person, but Aunt Gu refused to take it, and the guards around her also kept a close watch on me."

It is right to guard against it strictly. Pei Xu has never trusted Pei Yunqing, and it is impossible for him to let his people into the yard to get close to Gu Jiaorong.

Pei Yunqing knew all these, but what he didn't know now was how strong Gu Jiaorong was.

The person he had never taken seriously before has now become his biggest enemy.

How ironic! Pei Yunqing felt like a clown. Gu Jiaorong must have found him ridiculous.

"Okay, I understand, go down."

Pei Yunqing waved his hands impatiently, unwilling to listen to his plea for mercy anymore.

Now that he has no one around to use, Wu Er has to stay, even if it's just to run errands.

This feeling of being unable to move forward is really bad.

Pei Yunqing thought about the fight between himself and his brothers in his previous life, which was much smoother than it is now. After all, he was the child born by the legitimate wife, and was more legitimate than those children of mistresses.

"If it were the eldest brother, what would he do?"

Pei Yunqing thought of his brother, whose methods were even more clever than his, and a deep thought flashed through his mind.

At that time they were murder, and the car accident was all used.

It is obvious that assassination is not feasible now. Pei Xu himself is a master. Even if he is poisoned, it is probably not something that ordinary people can deal with.

He himself had difficulty even killing a chicken, let alone a person.

He is not like Pei Yunzhao, who has a lot of money and can hire someone to kill someone.

Pei Yunqing can only rely on himself to do all this now and cannot rely on others, so he has no way to deal with many things.

Gu Jiaorong is a pregnant woman now, so it is naturally easy to attack her, but he has guards around him, so he can only send things.

Gu Jiaorong doesn't accept his things today, and she won't accept his things tomorrow. Does that mean she won't accept his things every day?

If that's the case, he doesn't mind going there in person and playing the emotional card.

Thinking of this, he felt somewhat fortunate that he was not as arrogant as Pei Yunzhao when he first met Gu Jiaorong.

If he had been as arrogant as before, he probably wouldn't even be able to deliver the gifts now, let alone see Gu Jiaorong.

I really don’t know what’s going on with Pei Xu. He is such a smart man, but now he has fallen into the hands of a woman.

Pei Yunqing suddenly had an idea. Maybe he could send some beautiful women to Pei Xu to win his favor?

But he couldn't give it as blatantly as the emperor, so he had to give it quietly, to the heart of Pei Xu.

Pei Yunqing knew that a woman forced upon him by others might not necessarily be good, but if he liked one, or even snatched one away from him, then she would definitely be fragrant.
