Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Chapter 138 Fetal Movement

Pei Xu naturally had no idea about the emperor's evaluation, as he was busy accompanying Gu Jiaorong.

"We've been in the Firearms Camp recently, and the conditions there aren't as good as in the palace. I'm sorry to have wronged you."

Pei Xu held her in his arms as they sat on the chair, his slender fingers stroking her cheek, his voice hinting of indulgence.

They could naturally return to the palace immediately, but such a good opportunity to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight was rare. Moreover, if he stayed here, it would be convenient for him to supervise the production of firearms.

Even if the war does not break out this year, it will happen next year.

If it's delayed too long, something unexpected might happen, especially since their child is due to be born in half a year.

If Pei Xu wants to give his children a good growth environment, he can't continue to fall behind.

"I don't feel wronged. This place is great. Everyone who needs to leave has left, and Shaoyao is taking good care of us."

Gu Jiaorong shook her head and grabbed his hand.

"Your Highness, don't worry about me. Just have someone keep an eye on the court. Now that we are missing, they will definitely not be willing to accept this."

Gu Jiaorong lowered her eyes. She still didn't know the identity of the time traveler or which side he was on. But no matter which side he was on, he was now their opponent.

This feeling was very bad, and Gu Jiaorong couldn't help but frown.

Ever since she came into this world, she has been feeling depressed. She thought, maybe this is the fate of being a cannon fodder female supporting role.

"Don't worry, Rong'er. I've already sent people to keep an eye on it. If there's any sign of trouble, someone will report it to you."

Pei Xu knew her worries, and now was not the time to relax.

He held Gu Jiaorong's hand back and told her not to worry, but he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The cause of the explosion has not been determined yet, and Gu Jiaorong is unwilling to tell him. The reason behind it must be very complicated.

Pei Xu smiled helplessly in his heart. He didn't know whether his luck was too good or too bad to have encountered such a troublesome thing.

Gu Jiaorong was about to speak, but the moment she opened her mouth she let out a cry of surprise.

"What's wrong? Rong'er, are you feeling unwell?"

Pei Xu looked at her nervously, not knowing where to put his hands.

Especially Gu Jiaorong's serious expression made him feel even more worried.

"Your Highness, you are too nervous. I am fine. It's just that the child is moving."

Gu Jiaorong looked at him and laughed out loud, and her serious expression became playful and lively.

"The child moved..."

Pei Xu was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, but still looked a little dazed.

"Is that what I think?"

His voice was full of excitement and yet infinitely gentle.

Gu Jiaorong nodded, her eyes curved like the crescent moon in the sky. This was the first time she felt so clearly that there was a little one in her belly.

Although it will take another half year for the little one to actually come to their side, they can't wait to say hello to them.

"Will that hurt?"

After Pei Xu's joy, he frowned again and looked at Gu Jiaorong worriedly.

Such a question made Gu Jiaorong stunned.

She thought about it seriously before she said, "It doesn't hurt. Your Highness, would you like to touch the child?"

It can be regarded as a reward for Pei Xu's concern for her. After all, she didn't expect that Pei Xu would consider this.

Pei Xu has been cautious since Gu Jiaorong became pregnant, and now he is so emotional, what if he can't control his strength -

Even though he knew the fetus wasn't that fragile, he was still a little hesitant.

"I think it's better to forget it. I'm afraid of hurting you and the child."

Pei Xu finally gritted his teeth and refused, even though he was very reluctant in his heart.

Gu Jiaorong didn't care about him and directly took his hand and placed it on her lower abdomen.

"What are you afraid of? The prince touches her every day, and nothing has happened. Besides, the child only moves once. If you miss it, you don't know when the next time will be."

Although he said that, when Pei Xu really touched the child, there was no movement at all.

Gu Jiaorong: You really don’t give your mother face.

"Perhaps the child is tired. Please excuse me, Your Highness, to wait a little longer."

Gu Jiaorong forced a smile and made up an excuse.

Pei Xu actually didn't mind. After all, it was just a fetus that hadn't been born yet, let alone anything else.

"As long as you are well."

Pei Xu said this, but he did not rush to take his hand away from his lower abdomen.

Since the autumn hunt, they hadn't been close for a long time, and even kisses were superficial. He certainly didn't want to do that, he just wanted to be closer to Gu Jiaorong and occupy a larger place in her heart.

The sudden fetal movement made Gu Jiaorong feel very good. Even now, there was still a smile on her face. Hearing this, she looked up and kissed him.

"If Your Highness is not busy recently, you can come and visit the child more often. Who knows when the child will be ready to move again after a good rest."

Gu Jiaorong looked at the dark circles under Pei Xu's eyes and felt that this man was trying too hard.

Even though Pei Xu used to be a dedicated worker, he knew when to rest, not like he is now.

Gu Jiaorong couldn't count how many days it had been since he had a good sleep. Even if it wasn't half a month, it was probably at least ten days.

However, she had not slept well in the past two days, and was often thinking about the unknown time traveler.

Pei Xu knew that she said this because she wanted him to get enough rest, so he didn't refuse.

"Okay, I'll come back to see you when I have time."

Gu Jiaorong had already done all the persuasion she needed to do, and she knew Pei Xu knew what was going on, so she brought up Chi Ziche again.

"I suddenly thought of someone. I wonder if Your Highness still remembers her. It's Chi Ziche, the girl we met at the Pear Garden."

Although she had confirmed that Chi Ziche was not a time traveler, this person must be related to that time traveler.

"Remember, he had a problem?"

Pei Xu asked immediately. He was not a fool and knew that there must be something wrong when Gu Jiaorong brought it up at this time.

Gu Jiaorong didn't say yes or no, but only said, "Your Highness, please send someone to investigate first to see who he is close to and where he often goes."

Pei Xu's subordinates are good at gathering information, so Gu Jiaorong feels at ease using them.

"Row."

Seeing that she refused to speak, Pei Xu did not press her.

Anyway, when the person comes back, the news will naturally reach his ears.

Seeing that he agreed so readily, Gu Jiaorong smiled and said, "Your Highness, are you really not going to ask me?"

Even though she knew that Pei Xu trusted her and indulged her, she still didn't dare to bet on people's hearts.

"Don't ask. I'll know after I find out the news."

Pei Xu withdrew his hand and looked at her with burning eyes.

"Compared to these trivial matters, I hope Rong'er can tell me something else."

They hadn't been together for a long time, which made his heart restless. He just wanted to rub her into his bones and blood without any care.

But his reason did not allow him to do so. He could not hurt Gu Jiaorong and the child.

Therefore, he made such a request at this moment.

"of course can."

Gu Jiaorong looked at him and smiled, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
