Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Chapter 208 Settle the Grudge

Gu Jiaorong looked at her daughter in Pei Xu's arms, and her heart softened.

Her daughter must not become a commodity to be sold.

Even if his son can gain Pei Xu's power in the future, his daughter cannot be just a decorative object.

"Your Majesty, Sui Sui seems to like you very much."

What Gu Jiaorong said was not false. Suisui was indeed very well behaved when she was in Pei Xu's arms. Her shiny black eyes rolled around, and she looked very cute.

Pei Xu looked down at his well-behaved daughter, and said with a smile: "We are smart and know that her father likes her too."

Ever since the children came back to him, he has been holding either his daughter or his son in his arms, unwilling to let go for a moment and cherishing them very much.

When Gu Jiaorong was giving birth, Pei Xu was extremely worried and he also understood the difficulty of childbirth for women. And seeing that Gu Jiaorong had worked so hard to bring the child into the world, he cherished her even more.

Pei Xu looked at them at this moment and felt extremely satisfied.

"I won't be able to stay with you in the mansion tomorrow. If you go out, be sure to bring more people with you and don't be afraid of trouble. Now that you've returned safely, Pei Yunqing will definitely not be satisfied and may even do something small."

Seeing that Sui Sui was about to fall asleep, Pei Xu handed Sui Sui to Shaoyao, and the wet nurse beside him also came over and took Niannian away.

Next is their time alone.

Gu Jiaorong knew that Pei Yunqing would not give up, and she was very good at being a stay-at-home girl, so she had no intention of leaving the palace.

"Your Highness, don't worry about us. The child is still young and unfit to be exposed to the wind. We will not leave the palace. Your Highness should be more careful. The Fifth Prince is not a good person, and his methods are strange. There is still no explanation for the Crown Prince's death."

Gu Jiaorong knew that Pei Yunqing was taking advantage of the wick effect, but she had no way to tell Pei Xu. She could only tell him to stay away from Pei Yunqing.

As long as you don't get close to Pei Yunqing, it will be difficult for Pei Yunqing to make any moves in the palace.

"I know, Rong'er, don't worry."

Pei Xu had been dealing with Pei Yunqing for so long, so he naturally knew that this man's methods were vicious and he needed to be careful at all times.

"I will go to the palace to see His Majesty tomorrow. It's time to settle the years of grudges."

It wasn't just Pei Yunqing who couldn't wait, Pei Xu also didn't want to delay any longer.

If it weren't for the child, Pei Xu would not have had the patience to wait until now. After all, he now has weapons and enough strength to compete with the emperor.

"Your Majesty, be careful in everything."

Gu Jiaorong naturally could not help him with entering the palace to see the emperor. This was a grudge between Pei Xu and the emperor.

Moreover, if Gu Jiaorong entered the palace, she would probably only cause trouble for Pei Xu and hinder him.

Pei Xu lowered his head and kissed her, then smiled and replied, "I will."

Gu Jiaorong was held in his arms without struggling. She had long been accustomed to Pei Xu's arms. Besides, they had already given birth to a child. It was just a hug, and there was nothing to refuse.

Pei Xu entered the palace early the next morning.

The secret agents he had planted had already contacted the emperor and were just waiting for this day.

The emperor thought Pei Xu was trying to save him from danger, and when he lay on the bed, his eyes lit up as he looked at him.

"Xu'er, you are finally here."

The emperor's tone was gentle, as if he was just an ordinary elder.

But Pei Xu knew that this was the emperor's disguise.

This is how he deceived his father in the past, and now he is trying to deceive him again.

"Your Majesty, I am here."

Pei Xu was as respectful as ever, but there was a coldness in his eyes.

Unfortunately, the emperor's eyes had become cloudy and he could not see Pei Xu's expression and emotions at all.

He just thought he had grabbed a life-saving straw and looked at Pei Xu with full expectation.

"I have finally got you here. That evil creature Pei Yunqing actually wanted to kill his father and the emperor."

When the emperor mentioned his son, there was only hatred in his tone.

Pei Yunqing was not his favorite son to begin with, and he killed his most beloved son. How could he not be angry!

Now that Pei Yunqing has done such a thing again, he wants to get rid of Pei Yun as soon as possible.

"Xu'er, if you kill him for me, I will definitely reward you."

The emperor lay on the bed and roared, which showed how much he hated Pei Yunqing.

Pei Xu did not react at all, but looked at the old emperor indifferently.

In the past, the old emperor was so high and mighty, always looking down on his ministers, and could decide life and death with just a word.

Now he was like a fish under the knife, without even the strength to resist.

"Your Majesty, I do not want any reward. I only have one question that I do not understand. I beg Your Majesty to explain it to me."

Pei Xu took a step forward, lowered his head slightly, and looked at the old emperor coldly.

The old emperor seemed to have sensed something. He was no longer as excited as before, but drooped his eyelids and spoke slowly.

"What do you want to ask me?"

He didn't want to mention the past because he knew that once Pei Xu knew the truth, he would definitely not help him.

But he had not lived enough, nor enjoyed enough, so even though he knew what Pei Xu was going to ask, he did not refuse.

"How did my father die?"

Pei Xu didn't beat around the bush with him. They all didn't have the patience for that.

At this moment, Pei Xu didn't know how long he had been waiting. He knew the answer, but he still asked persistently.

The royal family is ruthless, the emperor is ruthless, but Pei Xu is unwilling to accept this.

"Xu'er, why do you have to ask? Isn't it good like this now? You have immense power in your hands. You can get whatever you want easily. Even I need your help now. For a prince to achieve this is unprecedented."

The old emperor looked at him for a long time before speaking.

He did not answer Pei Xu's question, he still had a glimmer of hope.

But Pei Xu would not change his mind just because of his few words, otherwise he would not have endured for so many years.

"Your Majesty, I have only one wish. Please explain to me how my father died."

Pei Xu asked stubbornly. He wanted the emperor to admit that as an emperor, he killed his brother out of jealousy.

But the emperor was not so confused that he lost his mind. He knew that once he admitted it, Pei Xu would definitely not save him, so he played the emotional card.

"Xu'er, let the past be the past. I don't think your father would want you to be so obsessed with the past. The most important thing you should do now is to help me kill that evil creature Pei Yunqing. I can give you whatever you want."

Pei Xu remained unmoved. He took a step closer and looked at the emperor coldly.

"Your Majesty refuses to speak because you're afraid I'll know. My father didn't die of illness at all, but was killed by Your Majesty? You dare not admit that you killed your own brother."
