Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Chapter 149: Being stopped

Gu Jiaorong hasn't seen Pei Xu since she came out of the Firearms Camp.

Fu'an told her that Pei Xu knew that he looked ugly after being poisoned and was afraid of scaring her and the baby in her belly, so he did not see her and rode in a separate carriage from her.

But after returning to the palace, Pei Xu still didn't see her.

She sat on the recliner, frowning, her mind racing.

Yue Yan, whom she sent out to gather information, also returned at this time.

She leaned close to Gu Jiaorong's ear and whispered, "Auntie, the Fifth Prince and the Imperial Physician have left."

When Gu Jiaorong heard this, she stood up immediately.

"Let's go see the prince."

She didn't think Pei Xu's appearance could scare her. She was not that timid.

Yueyan has always been obedient and followed her in small steps, but Shaoyao looked embarrassed.

"Auntie, the prince has instructed you to take good care of your baby these days and not to worry about him."

The comings and goings in the palace now are no longer as simple as when they were in the Firearm Camp. Pei Xu is bedridden and Fu An is taking care of her personally, so no one can focus on her.

Gu Jiaorong knew their worries, but she was also thinking about and wanted to see Pei Xu.

"I'll just take a look and be back soon. It won't be a problem."

Gu Jiaorong continued to walk out, her pregnancy of more than four months did not affect her movements.

Shaoyao followed Gu Jiaorong closely, watching over her carefully, fearing that any accidents might happen.

The journey up here was exceptionally smooth, with no one stopping them. However, when they arrived outside Pei Xu's room, Gu Jiaorong was stopped.

"Auntie, the prince has just dealt with the people in the palace and is not in good spirits right now. I'm afraid he can't see you. How about I send you back and invite you back when the prince is better?"

Fu'an's attitude was extremely respectful; he was not someone who could not see the situation clearly.

Now this concubine Gu is the apple of their prince's eye, so of course he has to hold her in high esteem, but he also has to do what the prince asks him to do.

"I know he's not in good spirits right now, so I'll go in and take a look at him, and then I'll come out."

Gu Jiaorong spoke in a good-tempered manner. She never made things difficult for her servants. Moreover, Fu'an stopped her, most likely on Pei Xu's orders.

Just as she guessed, Fuan looked embarrassed.

"Auntie, it's not that I have to stop you, but the prince has already instructed that he looks unpleasant right now..."

Fuan's words were not finished, but his meaning was already clear.

Pei Xu didn't want to see her, no matter whether the reason was sincere or just made up to fool her.

"Fuan, what if I insist on seeing you?"

Gu Jiaorong didn't like the feeling of being kept in the dark. It would have been fine if she hadn't been involved, but it was obvious that she couldn't escape.

No matter how powerful Fu'an is, he is just a slave. If Gu Jiaorong wants to break in, he can't do anything.

After all, Gu Jiaorong is pregnant now and cannot be touched.

"Auntie, please don't embarrass me."

Fuan pleaded, he didn't want to conflict with Gu Jiaorong.

"Okay, then tell the prince that if he doesn't want to see me today, he shouldn't want to see me again in the future. Just send someone to escort me out of the mansion. Then he can be left alone and I won't have to worry. It's a win-win situation."

Gu Jiaorong snorted coldly and spoke lightly.

She didn't seem to be angry or yelling, as if she had really made such a plan.

Gu Jiaorong knew that Pei Xu could hear it. He was a martial artist and had always had good hearing. Besides, she had no intention of hiding it.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Pei Xu's weak voice came out.

"Fuan, bring Ronger in."

Pei Xu knew that he couldn't stop Gu Jiaorong. Although she looked well-behaved, she was actually very opinionated.

After receiving his master's instructions, Fu An smiled apologetically at Gu Jiaorong and said, "Auntie, please don't take it to heart. I am just following your instructions."

Although he knew that Gu Jiaorong was not someone who would be spoiled by her favor and would not make things difficult for him because of this matter, he still explained.

"I know you're just following orders."

Gu Jiaorong only said this and walked towards the inner room.

Fu'an, Shaoyao and Yueyan did not follow, but waited outside.

They knew that the two masters must have something to say.

Before Gu Jiaorong entered the inner room, she could already smell a strong smell of medicine.

As early as in the woods, she knew that this poisonous snake was powerful. Even with Chu Fenghua around, Pei Xu would suffer just as much.

After all, when he was discussing this matter with Chu Fenghua, Gu Jiaorong was listening beside them.

But Gu Jiaorong didn't expect that from the time she got on the carriage at the Firearms Camp to the time she returned to the palace, Pei Xu never saw her again.

Gu Jiaorong is a narcissistic person and doesn't think Pei Xu can't live without her, but at this juncture, she would rather believe that there is something wrong with the poison.

Just as Gu Jiaorong thought, when she approached Pei Xu, she saw his pale face.

"No wonder the prince refused to see me. It turns out that being poisoned really makes you look this ugly."

Gu Jiaorong said this in a cold tone, and Pei Xu knew as soon as he heard it that she was angry.

"Rong'er, I just don't want you to worry too much."

Pei Xu tried hard to force a smile. It was ok for him to act pitiful on normal days, but could he really let Gu Jiaorong see him in such a miserable state?

This is clearly not his style.

Gu Jiaorong sat next to Pei Xu and looked at him with a dim gaze.

"That prince is really considerate. He let me know that you were poisoned, but he didn't let me see you, thinking that I wouldn't worry."

Gu Jiaorong spoke in a sarcastic tone, obviously angry.

Pei Xu looked at her eagerly, not daring to refute.

"I know I was wrong."

"Your Highness is right. What's wrong with Your Highness? Your Highness is doing this for the good of me and the child. Since Your Highness is so devoted to us, why not just send us far away? That way, those evil spirits won't come to bother us, and Your Highness will have nothing to worry about."

Even though Pei Xu lowered his head, Gu Jiaorong did not let him go.

This kind of thing will happen again once, and Gu Jiaorong doesn't intend to play a tug-of-war with him in the future.

Since they are already tied to the same boat, Pei Xu cannot have the final say.

Although Gu Jiaorong had a somewhat resigned mindset, she did not want to be a blind person with open eyes and know nothing in the face of danger.

Pei Xu immediately stood up and made a serious promise to her.

"Rong'er, I will never hide anything from you again. Don't be angry. It's not worth getting yourself hurt by being angry."

Gu Jiaorong snorted and still turned her head away, refusing to look at him.

"The prince is used to coaxing me. I'm afraid he is just trying to comfort me now. After all, the baby in my belly is more important."

Gu Jiaorong acted like a spoiled child, but she had to admit that the child had indeed become a burden to her. If it weren't for the child, she would have found a way to escape.

Obviously, the current situation does not allow this. Not to mention that she is pregnant and has difficulty moving. Even if she can leave the palace, where can she go with the child?

If she is lucky, she can hide in the deep mountains and forests without anyone knowing, but what should she do if she falls into the hands of her enemies?

Gu Jiaorong couldn't bear the thought of giving birth and then not taking responsibility, so she could only unite with Pei Xu and hope to retire when the success was achieved.
