Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Chapter 145 Return to the Palace

The court was in turmoil again. The prince angered the emperor, and he ordered him to reflect on his mistakes in seclusion.

It was naturally not the Third Prince who instigated all this. Not to mention that he did not have such means, even if he did, he should not have done it at this time.

Pei Xu's life or death is uncertain, and the Fifth Prince has emerged as a new force. They should join forces to deal with the Fifth Prince.

After all, His Majesty's attitude towards the Fifth Prince is becoming increasingly unclear, and it seems that he is about to surpass the Crown Prince. And His Majesty's confinement of the Crown Prince this time is also because of the Fifth Prince.

The emperor himself killed his brothers to ascend to the throne, but he did not allow brothers to harm each other. At least these things could not be made public, let alone brought to his presence. But the prince obviously forgot.

Fu'an was very excited when he heard this, but Gu Jiaorong felt more worried.

It is obvious that Pei Yunqing, the time traveler, is very clever. As soon as he entered the court, he won the emperor's favor. The next step may be to consolidate power.

Pei Xu obviously thought of this as well, he couldn't "disappear" any longer.

"Pass it on, we will return to the palace tomorrow."

Pei Xu's face was calm. He was not an indecisive person. Once he made a decision, he would not delay.

Besides, it’s a good time to return to Beijing.

When Fu'an heard the news of returning to Beijing, his eyes lit up instantly.

"Yes, I will prepare now."

Fu Anle was about to leave excitedly, but was stopped by Pei Xu.

"Go call Chu Fenghua over, I have something to tell him."

The reason why Pei Xu had not returned to Beijing for a long time had already been thought of, which was poisoning.

If the prince was careful, he would have discovered that there were poisonous snakes at the explosion site, but if he didn't find it, it didn't matter. He was already under house arrest anyway, so it didn't matter if he was confined for a few more days.

He did not discuss this matter with Gu Jiaorong, but planned to tell her together to prevent her from worrying about him too early.

Although he was happy that Gu Jiaorong was worried about him, it was unnecessary.

Pei Xu would rather she worry about him about other things.

Moreover, he also knew himself well and knew that Gu Jiaorong did not love him.

It's just that they were tied together and Gu Jiaorong had no other choice.

Gu Jiaorong didn't know what Pei Xu was thinking, and she didn't have time to guess what he was thinking. She put all her attention on Pei Yunqing.

She secretly felt lucky that Shen Zhaohua did not meet Pei Yunqing, otherwise she really didn't know what the outcome would be.

Pei Yunqing has been in this world for ten years and has also hidden herself for ten years. These ten years must have been very difficult to endure. Even she would occasionally doubt whether she had really just had a long dream?

This was under the premise that she knew she was traveling through a book, and she had Shen Zhaohua, who had advanced ideas, by her side. But Pei Yunqing had nothing at that time, even her body was that of a child.

If it were Gu Jiaorong, she would find it difficult not to go crazy.

She is not a person with strong willpower, otherwise she would not have reminded herself again and again when she first came here that she was just cannon fodder and would be a salted fish.

When Chu Fenghua came over, he saw the man lost in thought.

He raised his hand to his lips and coughed, drawing their attention back.

"My Lord, why did you call me here?"

Chu Fenghua had already learned from Fu'an that he would return to the palace tomorrow, but he couldn't understand what Pei Xu wanted to do with him?

Although he didn't often appear in front of Pei Xu these days, he knew that when this man had free time, he would be like a greedy dragon, guarding Gu Jiaorong and refusing to leave. If there was nothing, he would not come to chat with him.

"Didn't you bring back a poisonous snake when we came back? How's your research going?"

Pei Xu went straight to the point without any politeness.

Chu Fenghua is not someone who needs to be polite. He prefers to spend his time studying herbs.

"Not bad. I've already made an antidote. We won't be afraid even if we encounter it again. But the venom of this snake is quite strong. If you get bitten, you'll really suffer."

Chu Fenghua was also beaming with joy when he mentioned his research results.

Pei Xu, upon learning that he had the antidote, nodded and said, "When we return tomorrow, let it bite me and then detoxify a small portion of the poison. Just keep it alive. I need to deal with His Majesty."

Chu Fenghua didn't understand the affairs of the court, but he always followed the arrangements.

"Okay, I'll be ready before we leave tomorrow."

He knew that Pei Xu would be poisoned before entering the capital, because as soon as he appeared, people from the palace would come to investigate.

The emperor was suspicious, and Pei Yunqing, who planned the explosion, would not be easily dealt with.

He was a man more annoying than the emperor.

Pei Yunqing's adaptability is very useful when it comes to winning people's hearts.

If Pei Xu had no old grudges against the emperor, and Pei Yunqing had not attacked Gu Jiaorong, he might be willing to support Pei Yunqing.

It’s a pity that they are destined to be enemies.

"But I have to tell you, this poison is very torturous. If you want to hide it from others, I have plenty of ways. You don't necessarily have to get bit by a venomous snake."

Chu Fenghua has this ability, but there can be no mistakes in the performance. If he can't hide it from himself, how can he hide it from others?

"No, His Majesty is suspicious. If he hadn't been injured by the venomous snake, he wouldn't have believed it."

Pei Xu knew that although the emperor did not participate in it personally, he must know the whole story.

Before being confined to his house, the prince was the emperor's minion and the emperor's eyes.

"Okay, since you've made up your mind, I won't try to persuade you."

Chu Fenghua shrugged his shoulders. It wasn't him who would suffer anyway, and he could use Pei Xu to study the snake venom.

"I'll go back and prepare first, and come see you tomorrow."

Chu Fenghua knew that Gu Jiaorong had something to say to Pei Xu, so he left very tactfully.

Gu Jiaorong pursed her lips and looked at Pei Xu with concern.

She did not stop Pei Xu because she knew that what Pei Xu proposed was the best solution.

Even though this method is indeed harmful to the body, they have been in the Firearm Camp for so long and have not returned to Beijing. If they were not poisoned and unconscious, it would be unreasonable not to go back.

"Rong'er is worried about me?"

Pei Xu laughed out loud with joy, his eyes shining like falling stars.

Gu Jiaorong glared at him and said, "Your Highness, you still have the nerve to laugh. You will suffer tomorrow if you are poisoned."

No one is as willing to endure hardship as he is.

She really didn't know how this person could laugh. If it were her, she would definitely be sighing now.

"Even though I will suffer tomorrow, I am very happy that Rong'er cares about me today."

Pei Xu no longer hides his feelings now, because Gu Jiaorong has already seen through his feelings.

Although Gu Jiaorong doesn't love him, he won't miss it if he can get a little favor from her.

"You're such a smooth talker. I think you deserve to be punished. I've wasted all my time and effort, actually feeling sorry for you."

Gu Jiaorong glared at him again, her tone was coquettish, but she was indeed worried about Pei Xu.
