Prince Xiang's Mansion.
The servant hurriedly ran to Prince Xiang and said, "Your Highness, the three secret agents we sent to Fengji Restaurant have all been eliminated today!"
King Xiang's pupils dilated slightly, and he was horrified. He asked angrily, "How could this happen?"
The servant continued, "I don't know what went wrong today. All three of them were discovered at the same time, and the assassins seemed to be... the palace's secret guards."
The secret guards in the palace?
There is only one person in the world who can command the secret guards in the imperial palace, and that is the current emperor Yuwen Ran.
Yu Wenran really discovered their plan!
Who betrayed him?
"It must be that despicable Yu An who betrayed me!"
Thinking of this only possibility, King Xiang jumped up from the shore, his hair standing on end in anger.
I knew that Yu An was Gu Yanyue's man, but I just suspected him and didn't do anything about him. Now, this thorn has brought trouble upon myself!
The servants dared not even breathe. "Your Majesty, how about I send someone to kill the traitor Yu An?"
"Killing him would be too easy for him!" King Xiang was furious. "But I didn't expect Yu An to be so ignorant of the current situation and dare to betray me and serve that tyrant Yuwen Ran!"
The servant was trembling with fear, but he didn't dare to let Prince Xiang feel awkward, so he could only hesitantly ask, "Then, Your Majesty, what should we do next?"
Prince Xiang seemed to be tired of banging his head on the table. He snorted coldly and said angrily, "Find a few reliable people. I want to go to Fengji Restaurant myself to check it out!"
On the other side, at Fengji Restaurant, Gu Yanyue, wearing a long dress and a white veil, walked into the restaurant slowly.
Yu An was at a loss when he saw her come in, and even accidentally smashed a bowl, "Why did Madam come in person?"
Gu Yanyue smiled. Although she still looked as gentle as usual, one could always see a hint of murderous intent in her smile.
"I thought that Concubine Yu was lonely and alone in the palace, and her brother was helping me with my work. Thinking of the deep sisterly love between me and Concubine Yu, I naturally wanted to come and visit her."
She smiled gently, but her words were full of daggers.
Originally, Yu An just wanted to pretend to be as familiar as usual to deal with Gu Yanyue's sudden inspection.
But unexpectedly, King Xiang, who was hiding in the dark, had already seen all of this.
"This Yu An! He actually dared to betray me and was caught red-handed by me!"
…
Gu Yanyue looked at Yu An with tenderness in her eyes, and at the corner of her eye she saw King Xiang's back as he left angrily. Only then did she realize that her goal had been achieved.
So she let go of Yu An's hand with great disdain and said coldly, "It's impossible that you haven't heard about how Concubine Yu framed me in the palace. I, the lady, will not vent my anger on you because of our past friendship."
Yu An pretended not to understand: "Madam, what are you talking about? How come I don't understand?"
"It's best if you don't understand." Gu Yanyue snorted coldly, "I really hope you never understand. It's a pity that you and your sister are the same kind of people after all, but Tiantian is not the same kind of person as this lady."
Yu An was frightened to death by her words. He lost his balance and collapsed to the ground. "Madam..."
"Stop talking nonsense and run away, or I won't let you go!"
After saying this threatening remark, Gu Yanyue took another look at the Fengji Restaurant which she personally managed.
The restaurant is still full of guests, and they are full of praise for her cooking skills. She really can't understand why Yu Fei and Yu An would betray her in such a good environment.
This is something she, as a girl from the 21st century, will never understand, but since they have already betrayed her, Gu Yanyue will definitely make them pay the price!
Besides, in her eyes, the Yu siblings would not be able to cause any big waves.
Gu Yanyue glanced at Yu An coldly again, then turned and left.
But she didn't expect that as soon as she stepped out of Fengji Restaurant, she ran into Qin Ruoruo who came to look for her.
"Yueyue..."
Seeing Qin Ruoruo's distraught look, Gu Yanyue's heart skipped a beat. "What's wrong? Did Qin Ranran bully you again?"
Qin Ruoruo nodded. "She hasn't been giving me any trouble lately, but He Fangyan has been in a lot of trouble. Qin Ranran has been looking for trouble with me and He Fangyan lately."
When Gu Yanyue heard Qin Ranran's name, she felt overwhelmed and quickly asked, "But what did she do that was too extreme?"
"It's not excessive..."
Qin Ruoruo lowered her eyes, thinking of "excessive things", which seemed difficult to talk about.
Seeing her reaction like this, Gu Yanyue immediately understood.
"Could it be that Qin Ranran actually has some feelings for He Fangyan?"
This sentence can be said to reflect Qin Ruoruo's inner thoughts.
"That's it." Qin Ruoruo sighed, "Although I know Mr. He's intentions, I still feel very angry."
Gu Yanyue smiled and teased her while taking Qin Ruoruo back to the palace. "Liu Mei, send Miss Qin back to the palace first and wait in my bedroom."
After that, she comforted Qin Ruoruo, "There are still some trivial matters here at the restaurant. Please go to the palace first and wait for me for a moment, and then I will discuss this matter with you."
She had wanted to discuss the matter with Gu Yanyue, and since she met Gu Yanyue, Qin Ruoruo's visits to the palace had become a common occurrence. However, she didn't expect to run into Shangguan Yi as soon as the carriage entered the palace.
"Hey, isn't this Miss Qin? As a woman from an outsider family, she actually comes to the palace every few days. If you don't know, you would think someone broke the rules!"
The person that was being targeted implicitly in his words was naturally Gu Yanyue.
When Qin Ruoruo heard her saying bad things about Gu Yanyue, she felt angry because she thought that it was she who caused Gu Yanyue to have such a bad reputation.
"Miss Shangguan is not a concubine of the inner palace, nor is she personally appointed as a lady by His Majesty. Why can you enter and leave the inner palace as you please, but I can't?"
After saying that, she got off the carriage and looked directly into Shangguan Yi's eyes.
Unexpectedly, Shangguan Yi just sneered, "As the Empress Dowager's adopted daughter and the Emperor's adopted sister, I have naturally lived in the palace since I was a child. Miss Qin really doesn't know the rules. Why don't I teach you?"
Qin Ruoruo regretted it as soon as she said it.
Now she has completely offended Shangguan Yi, and she doesn't know how much trouble this will cause for Gu Yanyue!
Shangguan Yi stared at her coldly. With a wave of her hand, several palace maids surrounded Qin Ruoruo. "Miss Qin has just entered the palace and doesn't know the etiquette. You must teach her well!"
Seeing Qin Ruoruo surrounded by a group of palace maids and looking uneasy, Shangguan Yi felt very happy.
She had never been so happy since she was bullied by Gu Yanyue.
Since she is angry with Gu Yanyue but can't vent it, she might as well vent it on this idiot Qin Ruoruo, so that she can feel better!
"Come here! Capture this ignorant young lady from the official family and give her twenty slaps on the face. Otherwise, there will always be people in the palace who think they are hooking up with someone important and dare not take me seriously!"
