Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Chapter 116 News about Gu Fuying

"Then continue the interrogation until they speak."

Pei Xu's eyes were sharp. Although he knew that the mastermind behind the scenes was either the emperor or the prince, he had to be cautious since it concerned Gu Jiaorong.

Whenever he thought about the dangerous situation that Gu Jiaorong had been in, his heart ached.

Fu An naturally understood his master's thoughts and responded respectfully, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will make them speak."

There are many ways to torture people in private prisons. They can withstand ten days, but not a hundred days.

If they were not useful, Fuan would have killed them long ago to avenge Aunt Gu.

Anyone who dares to touch the person dear to their prince must be prepared to suffer a fate worse than death.

"Has everyone been informed about Gu Sidao's marriage to the Crown Prince?"

Pei Xu murmured and asked again.

Since His Majesty, the Crown Prince, and the Third Prince don't want him to live in peace, then let them all be unhappy together. He has endured it long enough.

If it weren't for Gu Jiaorong and the child, perhaps he could have endured it a little longer, but some people were so blind that they dared to touch his Rong'er, treating him like a tiger with its teeth pulled out.

"Everyone has been notified. I'm sure the Third Prince is extremely worried."

Fu'an lowered his eyes and replied, he knew that the third prince intended to win over the prince.

But the prince was not interested and had no intention of cooperating with the third prince.

No matter who became the emperor, he would not tolerate Pei Xu, otherwise he would have left Beijing and returned to his fiefdom long ago.

"The Third Prince is impatient. He was already harassing Gu Fuying during the Qiqiao Feast. Now that the news is known to everyone, he must be furious."

Pei Xu curled his lips, the good show of brothers fighting each other was about to begin.

Fu An naturally thought of this as well. He whispered, "By then, the Third Prince will probably be even more anxious to convince the prince."

Pei Xu sneered, his voice becoming colder.

"If he hadn't sent someone to assassinate Rong'er, I would still have the patience to play with him, but he shouldn't have even thought of assassinating her."

Then he restrained his affection and gave instructions for today's arrangements in a light tone.

Ever since the autumn hunt was decided, their game has begun, and many things will happen next.

-

When Gu Jiaorong stood up, there was no one around her.

She knew that Pei Xu had been busy recently, and he hurried back yesterday because of her words.

"Yue Yan..."

Gu Jiaorong lowered her eyes and called out, she knew that Yue Yan must be guarding her after Pei Xu left.

Sure enough, she only called out once and Yueyan came over.

"Auntie, you are awake. When the prince left, he told me that you were too tired yesterday. Today, you should have a good rest and I am not allowed to disturb you."

Yueyan was happy to see her aunt being favored.

In this deep mansion, the only way to live a good life is to be favored.

What's more, now that the concubine has a child, the prince can focus his attention on the concubine, and the young master will also benefit in the future.

"Well, help me up."

Gu Jiaorong responded indifferently without much emotion. She had long been accustomed to it.

Yueyan, on the other hand, seemed to have endless things to say and could talk non-stop every time. Although she was chattering a lot, she was quite cute.

After all, she is young, and even the smallest things can make her feel fresh.

"Yueyan, you are the most well-informed. Have you heard anything about Miss Gu Fuying recently?"

Gu Jiaorong counted the days. So many days had passed since the Qiqiao Banquet. If the prince was interested, their engagement should have been finalized by now.

Yue Yan looked at Gu Jiaorong in confusion, "Miss Gu?"

"Why do you ask this, Auntie? I haven't heard anything about Miss Gu."

She rolled her eyes and kept thinking in her little head.

She suddenly remembered that Gu Fuying had once visited her aunt.

Could it be that their aunt really has some friendship with Miss Gu?

But if Miss Gu really had a good relationship with my aunt, she wouldn't have come here in these days.

If she had a close friend, even if she didn't see them every day, she would always see them after some time. This shows that Miss Gu's friendship with their aunt may not be very deep.

But their aunt is really soft-hearted. She still cares about them even though they are just ordinary friends.

But it was because of her aunt's soft-heartedness that she was able to gain her aunt's protection.

Yueyan thought a lot in her little head, and finally came to only one conclusion: no matter what the reason was, it was not their aunt's fault.

Gu Jiaorong didn't know that her mind was so active. When she heard her say that there was no news about Gu Fuying, she lowered her eyes.

When she met Gu Fuying that day, she could see how bright her eyes were when she mentioned the prince. She must have hoped to marry the prince, but the prince only wanted to take over the military power in her father's hands, so this marriage might not be ideal.

"Yueyan, if you hear anything about Miss Gu, write it down and tell me, no matter whether it's good or bad."

Gu Jiaorong naturally did not care about Gu Fuying. She had already reminded her at that time that Gu Fuying's future outcome had nothing to do with her.

She was just worried that if the prince got Gu Sidao's support, would Pei Xu be able to escape unscathed during the autumn hunt?

If something happened to Pei Xu, she and her child would certainly not survive.

"Yes, I have remembered it."

Although Yueyan didn't understand, she didn't refute it.

Yueyan has always been attentive to what Gu Jiaorong told her, so she doesn't need to be told in person.

After helping Gu Jiaorong wash and dress, Shaoyao brought her breakfast.

"Auntie, I asked the kitchen to prepare some medicinal food to replenish your blood and qi. The recipe has been reviewed by Divine Doctor Chu."

Shaoyao has always been careful about this matter and dares not make any mistakes.

After all, everyone in the mansion is looking forward to the birth of the young master.

"You have a heart."

Gu Jiaorong nodded and started eating breakfast.

When Yueyan saw that Gu Jiaorong was being served by Shaoyao, she was thinking about what her aunt had told her, so she went up to her and whispered something in her ear before leaving.

She has always been good at gathering information, and the Gu family is not a small family. The servants of the officials in the capital may seem insignificant, but they actually know the most gossip, so she easily got the information she wanted.

When Yueyan came back, Gu Jiaorong had already finished her meal and was reading a travelogue in the yard.

"Auntie, I've inquired about it. I don't know who leaked the news that the Crown Prince is going to be engaged to the young lady from the Gu family. However, I haven't heard any news from the palace yet. I'm afraid the marriage is going to fall through."

Yue Yan couldn't help but sigh when she said this.

If Gu Fuying's marriage to the Crown Prince fails, she probably won't be able to find a good family in the future.

After all, Gu Fuying had discussed marriage with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Even if it didn't work out, who would dare to do it?

The only way out is probably to marry out of the capital and find a husband from a small family.

What Yue Yan could think of, Gu Jiaorong could naturally think of as well.

But Gu Jiaorong didn't think that the prince would give up Gu Sidao's help, so there must be follow-up to this matter.

"You should pay more attention. Now that the news has spread, the Gu family should take action."

Gu Jiaorong vaguely felt that this matter was related to Pei Xu, but she just suppressed this idea in her heart.
