Chapter 129 We have a long way to go
No matter how incompetent Pei Yunqing was, he grew up in the palace and could see what Pei Xu was thinking.
He bowed and made a full gesture.
"Brother Xu, you don't have to be polite. This is what I should do. Even if it's someone I don't know, I will help her. What's more, she is Brother Xu's concubine. Logically, I can also call her sister-in-law."
The words "sister-in-law" were not addressed to Gu Jiaorong, but to Pei Xu.
Although he is younger than his two brothers, he has grown up safely, so how could he not have any scheming at all?
Seeing his attitude, Pei Xu didn't know what to say, but he had no feelings for these cousins, even for Pei Yunqing, who was a few years younger than him.
"Fifth Prince, we'll talk another day. My beloved concubine was frightened, so I'm taking her back first."
Pei Xu nodded, hugged Gu Jiaorong and left, leaving Pei Yunqing alone with a puzzled look on his face.
No matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see that Gu Jiaorong was frightened.
Gu Jiaorong's remarks were well-reasoned and neither humble nor arrogant, and were not as vulgar as others said.
But soon, he thought again that Pei Xu didn't even look down on Xie Wanning, and he doted on this concubine so much, so this person must be a little different.
Pei Yunqing had an idea, and he looked at their backs as they walked away together, and curled the corners of his lips.
Pei Xu didn't pay attention to the person behind him. He lowered his head, his eyes filled with worry and regret.
"Rong'er, are you okay? I didn't expect Pei Yunzhao to embarrass you. If I had known this, I should have sent you back to the tent first."
Pei Xu felt that he should be more careful, otherwise how could he protect Gu Jiaorong.
Gu Jiaorong shook her head. She had no complaints in her heart. She knew that the incident happened suddenly. It was not because Pei Xu was not paying enough attention, but because she was too careless. She was protected too well by Pei Xu, so she forgot that this was a feudal dynasty, a place with clear hierarchy.
Fortunately, she woke up not too late, and she still has time.
She turned her head and looked at Pei Xu. Now, she could only rely on Pei Xu to get what she wanted.
She didn't speak until she returned to the tent.
"Your Highness, since the Third Prince has done this, he must have made up his mind to no longer try to win you over, but to get rid of you."
This speculation was not groundless, and Pei Xu knew it in his heart.
Although His Majesty would summon him alone during the autumn hunt in previous years, this year was obviously different.
However, the fight between the princes has already begun, and the emperor will not mobilize the entire country to kill him. If he escapes the autumn hunt, the emperor will have no chance this year and will have to wait until next year.
The following year, his firearms battalion was completed, and the situation was completely different.
Pei Xu curled his lips and hugged Gu Jiaorong in his arms.
"Don't worry, Rong'er. No matter how they plot, I will be fine for you and the child."
Pei Xu used to be always worried, wondering what would happen to Gu Jiaorong and the child if he failed.
Now seeing Pei Yunzhao's dilemma, he already had the answer in his heart. If he died, no matter how much preparation he made, his lover and children would not be able to live a good life.
Because of him, no one would treat his orphans well.
So he cannot die. He must live well, live by any means necessary, and amid the jealousy of everyone, reach a position that is out of their reach.
Only in this way can the people he cares about be truly safe.
Gu Jiaorong didn't know why his mood had changed, but it was a good thing.
"Your Majesty, my child and I trust you."
Gu Jiaorong's voice was as gentle as water, and her expression was also very soft.
At this moment, they hugged each other.
Pei Xu raised his hand and stroked her cheek, his eyes becoming dim. This was his lover, the one he had fallen in love with without knowing when, and the one whose love was deep in his bones.
In this life, apart from his mother, there is only her and their child in his eyes and heart.
Perhaps it was because the atmosphere was too good, or perhaps it was because their love was deep, they pressed together tightly, with each other's faces reflected in their pupils.
The temperature continued to rise, and as their lips and teeth touched, they could hear each other's heartbeats.
Gu Jiaorong's fair arms fell on his neck, hugged him, and entrusted her weight to him.
Pei Xu naturally wouldn't let her fall. He hugged her carefully, let her snuggle up to him, and kissed her gently and softly, again and again.
At this moment, they forgot their troubles and the treacherous and ever-changing court, and only saw each other.
Gu Jiaorong is not in good health now and is not at home, so there are many things that Pei Xu would not do easily. He just hugs her and kisses her, drawing strength from it.
Gu Jiaorong and the child are his motivation, the motivation that keeps him alive.
Pei Xu didn't want his child to have a hard time growing up like he did after he was born. He wanted their child to be happy.
"Rong'er, I promise you, I won't let something like today happen again."
Pei Xu put his forehead against hers and whispered a promise.
Even though he cannot overthrow the world now, it is not impossible for him to shake the government.
In the past, he was always cautious and refused to have any hobbies, but from today on, he would no longer be like that.
Gu Jiaorong hugged his waist, leaned against his chest, and listened carefully to his strong heartbeat.
.
Pei Yunqing returned to the tent and sent someone to inquire about Gu Jiaorong's background.
If she was born as a maid, how could she have the momentum she has today?
Pei Yunqing was not a fool. He could see that something was wrong with Gu Jiaorong. Besides, he had heard of Gu Jiaorong's reputation, but there was not a single positive adjective to describe her.
If a person's temperament has not changed drastically, then he has been covering up.
What secret is she hiding?
Pei Yunqing's eyes flashed with interest. His "cousin-in-law" was really interesting.
Pei Yunzhao is just too stupid. He always acts superior and looks down on everyone as if he is giving alms. How can he win people's hearts like this?
Those people at the bottom of society always have some weird and pitiful self-esteem. If you just treat them as human beings, they will be extremely loyal, even if they are rats living in the gutter.
Pei Yunqing had a sarcastic smile on his face, completely different from how he behaved in front of others.
Who would know that a prince who lives a secluded life is so loved in private, even if these people are just the lowest class of people, but it is these people who make it most convenient to do things.
Since you were born in the royal family and have experienced the beauty of power, who would be willing to let it go?
Pei Yunqing had to admit that he couldn't let go.
After being a prince for so many years, Pei Yunqing doesn't want to be an ordinary person anymore.
The world is bustling with people, all seeking profit. He never thought that there was anything wrong with pursuing power.
"Pei Xu, Gu Jiaorong, we have a long way to go."
Pei Yunqing laughed softly. When he saw these two people today, he knew what Pei Yunjia and Pei Yunzhao were. These two people were opponents worthy of attention.
Pei Yunjia and his brother are so much like his father.
His father, the emperor, was replaced by Pei Xu's father.
