Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Chapter 125 Autumn Hunt

After leaving the palace, Pei Xu did not return for several days.

It was not until the day before the autumn hunt that Pei Xu brought Fu'an back. He did not even enter his own yard, but came directly to Gu Jiaorong.

"We'll set out early tomorrow morning. This time, we're not going to the royal hunting grounds we usually go to, but to the Muchun Hunting Grounds, which are home to many ferocious beasts. Your Majesty didn't like going there before. Firstly, it's a long way off, taking half a day, and secondly, there are so many ferocious beasts that even if you clear them out beforehand, some will inevitably slip through the nets, easily causing casualties. But this time, Your Majesty actually agreed to go to the Muchun Hunting Grounds, and even let us bring our families. This is a clear setup for me."

Pei Xu frowned. Other officials could leave their families behind, but he was worried about Gu Jiaorong staying in the mansion alone. After all, there had been assassinations before, and there had been many assassins among them, but they had all been dealt with in secret.

What's more, there is still Xie Wanning in the mansion who is eyeing him covetously and has not been dealt with.

It might not be safe for Pei Xu to leave her in the mansion, so it would be safer to keep her by his side.

"Your Majesty and the Crown Prince have played a brilliant chess game. I am now in a dilemma."

Pei Xu knew that he had been too obvious recently, and anyone with eyes could see that he was interested in Gu Jiaorong.

Not to mention, they have an unborn child.

Even if he didn't like Gu Jiaorong, this child was a thorn in the eyes and flesh of many people.

"Your Majesty, things have come to this point. We have no way out."

Gu Jiaorong remained relatively calm, even though she was a little nervous.

But what’s the use of panicking?

Panic will not solve any problems.

They must now respond calmly, only in this way can they find a chance of survival.

Weapons made of firearms are not suitable for carrying outside, but if an accident really happens, it is the safest thing to have.

But Gu Jiaorong shouldn't know about the existence of things like muskets. She rolled her eyes, intending to remind Pei Xu subtly.

"Even if they've already set up a plan, they're just preparing some raptors and beasts to attack us. But if we have good weapons and sufficient personnel, and we kill those raptors, I'm sure they won't be able to do anything. Even if His Majesty is only serving in the Dali Temple, just seeing that he stayed to protect us, I know he must be able to protect himself. If not now, when?"

Pei Xu was so worried that he was confused. After Gu Jiaorong reminded him, he naturally thought of bringing a musket with him.

The people he brought with him were all his trusted men, so it was not difficult for him to secretly carry a musket.

"Rong'er is right. I was really panicked just now. I'll let Fu'an do it right away."

Pei Xu nodded, walked to the door, whispered a few words to Fuan, and felt much more relaxed.

It was quiet at night, and Fu'an came back with a musket and a caltrop fireball.

However, Pei Xu and Gu Jiaorong had already gone to bed, so he did not disturb them, but quietly arranged everything.

Having served Pei Xu since he was a child, he naturally knew how intense the autumn hunt would be, and he also knew how nervous the prince was about Aunt Gu and the young master.

Having a successor to the palace was what the servants wanted to see, so he handled this matter with extra care.

The next day, after Gu Jiaorong woke up, Shaoyao and Yueyan helped her get up, and then went into her room to pack the things she needed for the autumn hunt.

The autumn hunt lasts for seven days, which may not seem like a long time, but if you are short of something when you enter the hunting ground, it will be very inconvenient.

Gu Jiaorong was also discussing this matter with Pei Xu at the dinner table.

"What are the autumn hunting activities like? Can I go hunting too?"

Gu Jiaorong had only seen related plots in TV dramas and novels, but the written descriptions were too pale, and it was impossible to actually shoot the autumn hunting scenes in TV dramas and movies, there were only a few shots.

Therefore, although she had listened to the autumn hunt for a long time, she had no real feeling.

"Of course, if nothing unexpected happens, I'll take you hunting, or find you a docile pony and have someone lead the horse and take you out for a ride."

Pei Xu knew that Gu Jiaorong couldn't ride a horse, so he was thoughtful.

Gu Jiaorong nodded, but felt a little uneasy in her heart.

But she didn't say out loud this uneasiness.

Now that the storm has begun, she has been caught up in the real political whirlpool. No matter how scared she is, it is useless. She might as well think about how she will deal with it if something unexpected happens during the autumn hunt?

The princess did not show up for this autumn hunt, but only sent a maid to inform her that she would be the only one to accompany the prince.

Gu Jiaorong lowered her eyes. She always felt that the princess was planning something.

If Haruzhi is the real princess in the rebirth novel, then she is definitely not a simple character.

"Rong'er, what are you thinking about?"

Pei Xu called her, with confusion in his eyes.

He seemed to have noticed that something was wrong with Gu Jiaorong.

Gu Jiaorong shook her head. "I wasn't thinking about anything. I was just thinking that it would be fun if I could go hunting."

"of course."

Pei Xu curled his lips, but his eyes were dark.

-

At the Muchun Hunting Ground, the autumn hunt officially began with the emperor shooting the first arrow.

The emperor seemed to be really old. He only led a team, made a circle in the jungle, and then returned immediately.

"Xu'er, you are different from the Crown Prince, the Third Brother, and the Fifth Brother. You have been excellent at riding and shooting since childhood. I am very optimistic about you this time and hope that you can take first place."

The emperor spoke with a smile, he looked like a kind elder.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. I think His Royal Highness has made great progress. He might even take first place in this autumn hunt."

Of course Pei Xu would not nod in response to this, as it would make him seem very low in emotional intelligence, and the prince would probably also mind it.

The emperor waved his hand without arguing with him and let them go hunting.

There will be a winner in every hunt, and the winner will receive a reward.

Pei Xu had indeed performed very well in the past, but this time he had no intention of competing for first place.

He was more concerned about Gu Jiaorong.

Although there were quite a few people who brought their families with them, Gu Jiaorong was obviously the most conspicuous among them.

She was Pei Xu's concubine, not even a concubine.

Before Pei Xu left, he glanced at Gu Jiaorong and then gave Chu Fenghua a wink.

No matter what happens, as long as Chu Fenghua is there, Gu Jiaorong will be safe and sound. His reputation as a miracle doctor is not for nothing.

When Gu Jiaorong saw Pei Xu and the others leaving on horseback, she felt a little envious.

She has never ridden a horse and doesn't know if riding a horse is fun.

"If you want, wait until the prince is free tomorrow and ask him to find a docile pony for you to ride."

Chu Fenghua spoke. He was not interested in these things. In previous years, he followed Pei Xu to hunt just to get some food.

Gu Jiaorong shook her head and said, "Forget it. I'm not alone now, so I'd better be careful."
