Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Chapter 203 It’s just a matter of sex

The more worried Pei Yunqing was, the more calm Pei Xu became.

What they are playing now is psychological warfare. Whoever can't hold on first will be at a disadvantage.

As long as Pei Yunqing didn't catch Gu Jiaorong and the children, Pei Xu had nothing to worry about, but Pei Yunqing now had many concerns.

Once a person has a weakness, he will no longer be as fearless as before.

Pei Xu was restrained when he was in Jinzhou City because his weakness was around him, and he was always worried that Pei Yunqing would take action against Gu Jiaorong.

It’s different now. This is a battlefield between the two of them, there’s no one else.

Fu'an always paid attention to the movements in the palace, fearing that big problems would arise if he was not careful.

Early in the morning, he suddenly received news that the Fifth Prince had actually attacked Gu Jiaorong. Although the assassins he sent out were all dead, the Fifth Prince's act was tantamount to declaring war on Pei Xu.

"Your Majesty, there's news from my aunt."

Fu'an delivered the letter directly to Pei Xu instead of dictating it to him.

He knew how much the prince cared about Aunt Gu, so he would always tell the prince everything about Aunt Gu.

When Pei Xu heard this, his expression immediately turned cold.

"Pei Yunqing actually dared to attack Rong'er. It seems that he is still too idle. Find him something to do recently. If that doesn't work, ask him to help the Eighth Prince."

Pei Xu originally didn't want to interfere in the affairs between the two brothers. He wanted them to sit back and watch the fight, and then he would reap the benefits.

If he supported Pei Yunlin, he would simply be asking for trouble.

After all, according to his original plan, he could take action as long as Gu Jiaorong and the children returned to the capital.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Fu'an had no objection to this, he knew that the prince's arrangement would not go wrong.

They have been preparing for so long, so they are naturally not afraid of unexpected situations. What's more, everything is still under their control.

"You must keep a close eye on the capital. No accidents must happen. You must ensure that Rong'er and the children return completely."

If Pei Xu's departure from the capital had not attracted Pei Yunqing's attention, he would have definitely gone to pick up Gu Jiaorong in person.

He missed them very much after being apart for so long.

After all, this is the first time they have been apart for such a long time since they got together.

Fu An saw Pei Xu's worry, so he took the initiative to say, "Your Highness, don't worry too much about the safety of Auntie and the others. According to the date, the person we sent to pick up Auntie should have reunited with her by now."

Pei Xu certainly knew that nothing would happen to them. He had left everything to Gu Jiaorong. If he couldn't protect them, then all his attendants would have been wasted. But he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

But he would not tell Fuan about this.

"I know, go ahead and do your work."

Pei Xu waved his hand and let Fuan leave, while he fell into thoughts of his wife and children.

Unfortunately, his wife and children had no time to think about him as they were busy on their way.

Even though the people Pei Xu sent to pick them up had already arrived, Gu Jiaorong still didn't dare to waste time on the road.

Therefore, under the protection of everyone, Gu Jiaorong quickened her pace and returned to the capital.

Gu Jiaorong did not prepare any surprises. When they were about to approach the capital, she sent someone to inform Pei Xu.

Along the way, they encountered several assassination attempts, and she didn't want any problems to arise on the final leg of the journey, as that would make her regret it.

After receiving the news, Pei Xu immediately put down what he was holding and rushed over to pick up Gu Jiaorong.

The person he thought about day and night appeared before his eyes.

Pei Xu was rarely excited. He walked quickly to Gu Jiaorong and wanted to hug her with his arms, but he restrained himself.

Gu Jiaorong had their child in her arms. The sleeping baby with rosy cheeks looked so adorable.

"Rong'er, you've worked hard along the way."

Pei Xu didn't say anything else in the end, and Gu Jiaorong also knew that this was not the place to talk.

"Your Highness, I'm not tired. Let's go back to the palace first. We can talk about anything when we get back."

Hearing this, Pei Xu immediately calmed down.

"Okay, okay, let's talk when we get back."

Of course, he also knew that there were countless eyes watching them in secret, and the longer they stayed outside, the more dangerous it would be.

The group returned to the palace in a mighty manner, but the palace at this time was no longer the same as when they left. All the people who needed to be cleared out had been cleared out, and even Chunzhi was dead.

The Xie family seems to know the whole story and has not come forward yet.

Instead, it was Pei Xu who brought the matter to the attention of the Xie family, with no intention of settling the matter peacefully.

In short, he has not been idle in the capital these days. He has dealt with all those who might threaten Gu Jiaorong after she returned to the capital.

When Gu Jiaorong entered the palace carrying the child, Pei Xu was by her side, protecting her.

His weakness returned to him, and Pei Yunqing no longer had the possibility of threatening him.

"Both children are already asleep. Rong'er, you don't have to worry about them. When they wake up, the nurse will naturally comfort them. We haven't seen each other for a long time. From now on, all your time belongs to me."

Pei Xu watched Shaoyao and others take the child, then he grabbed Gu Jiaorong's hand and told her his heart.

The servants were all very tactful and would not disturb them.

"During the days since I returned to the capital, I have been missing you and our children. I was very worried about you. Fortunately, you are all back safely."

If they were in danger on the road, Pei Xu would probably regret it for the rest of his life.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. The people you left behind are very useful and reliable. Although we encountered several assassination attempts along the way, my child and I are completely safe."

Gu Jiaorong was a little worried when she experienced it for the first time, but she got used to it after it happened many times.

Pei Yunqing's subordinates are no more than this.

Pei Xu knew it of course, but every time he heard such news, he couldn't control his emotions.

"I will reward them well, as well as Shaoyao and the others. They took the trouble to take care of you along the way, so they should be rewarded well."

Pei Xu spoke with a smile. He lifted Gu Jiaorong's hand, placed it on his lips and kissed it.

Perhaps it was because they had been separated for too long, or perhaps he was afraid that Gu Jiaorong would misunderstand him, because his behavior was very restrained and not too reckless.

Gu Jiaorong actually doesn’t care about these things, she has long been used to it.

Speaking of which, most of her initial interactions with Pei Xu took place in bed, and they weren't very serious.

Gu Jiaorong knew that she had a good appearance, otherwise she would not have caught Pei Xu's eye.

There is no such thing as love at first sight, it's just lust at first sight.

"Then I would like to thank His Majesty on behalf of Shaoyao and the others."

Gu Jiaorong spoke with her eyes curved, her smile was as beautiful as a flower, and she still looked so lovely.
