Chapter 12 Fury
Upon hearing Ye Junyi's words, Gu Xu was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
How could even such a noble prince have taken a fancy to Gu Qinghan? Ye Junyi then said, "As a member of the royal family, I am not without ambition for that supreme position. Miss Gu and I are in the same situation."
"I think no one in the world understands Miss Gu better than me."
"Why are they considered superior? We both have the surname Ye, so why are we in such different situations?"
Gu Xu was deeply moved upon hearing this, but she did not want to see Gu Qinghan marry into the royal family and enjoy wealth and luxury.
Why does it have to be Gu Qinghan?
"Because of General Gu, if I can get his help, I think it won't be difficult for me to ascend to the throne."
Gu Xu opened her mouth, wanting to ask what benefits she would get.
Ye Junyi seemed to already know her thoughts and immediately said, "Just make Gu Qinghan lose her virginity and force her to marry me as a concubine. After that, I will marry you as my principal wife."
Gu Xu was overjoyed and nodded in agreement without even having time to think.
"Your Highness, rest assured, I will certainly accomplish it."
She didn't even consider that Ye Junyi, a petty scoundrel who only schemes in the shadows, would never keep his promise in the future. He was just using her for a while now.
Upon hearing this, the Westerners on the side took out a bottle of spices from their bosom, which Gu Xu took and stuffed into her sleeve.
The three felt victory was in sight and each imagined their future success.
Ye Junyi had already pictured himself reaching the summit in his mind; he wanted Ye Muyan to witness firsthand how he would take everything away from him.
He wanted Gu Qinghan and that supreme position.
At this moment, Gu Xu was also thinking about herself wearing a phoenix robe, looking as noble and dignified as an empress.
At that time, she wanted to wear the most gorgeous jewelry and use the best things.
At that time, everything about her will be better than Gu Qinghan's!
All three harbored treacherous ambitions, and just imagining the scene filled them with uncontrollable joy.
They raised their glasses together, their refined appearances masking their corrupt hearts.
With a "ding," the group clinked glasses in satisfaction.
Just then, the waiter brought the dishes over: "Please enjoy your meal, esteemed guest. These are all our signature dishes, freshly delivered this morning."
After saying that, he picked up his things and left the room.
The servants behind Ye Junyi tested each dish with silver needles, waited a while and found nothing wrong, then signaled that they could start eating.
Ye Junyi and Gu Xu discussed their plans and tactics, with Ye Junyi occasionally placing a piece of food on Gu Xu's plate. Even though it was their first meeting, they were already getting along incredibly well.
Anyone who didn't know them would think they were very familiar with each other.
Although the envoy from the Western Regions was one of their kind, seeing this situation, he couldn't help but curse them under his breath as shameless.
Meanwhile, Gu Qinghan took a bite of the bamboo leaf cake, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Sister Chuntao, you should try some too!"
Chuntao picked one up and savored it carefully. It was crisp, soft, and refreshing, with a sweet taste, and it was slightly cool to eat in the summer.
"Let's hire this cook to work in the manor, specifically to make pastries for the young lady!"
"No need, these pastries outside are just something to try. Sister Chuntao's are still the best."
Chun Tao smiled and said, "Miss, you should sweeten Chun Tao up and have a couple of bites of the main course. This bamboo leaf cake is still a bit cold."
The two were in a great mood, eating and chatting.
Suddenly, the sound of things falling to the ground came from the next private room, followed by various porcelain pieces and screens falling to the ground one after another, with sounds that made people blush and their hearts race.
Gu Qinghan thought to herself, "So fast? Their composure is really poor."
Chuntao quickly covered Gu Qinghan's ears. Although she couldn't help but blush, she didn't want her mistress to hear anything so scandalous.
Gu Qinghan blinked and said to Chuntao, "Call me when they're done."
Ye Muyan's spies also reported: "Miss Han had someone add aphrodisiac incense to that place, and those people in that room have probably already fallen into the trap."
"Ye Junyi has always been a fool, and today I've truly witnessed it."
"We'll leave once Qingqing is done. Ye Junyi is ridiculously stupid; there's nothing to grab, so let him keep jumping."
"Yes, sir!"
After a while, Chuntao heard the waiter knocking on the door.
His voice trembled slightly: "Sir, what happened to you?"
No one responded from inside, but the noise was loud enough for everyone in the restaurant to hear. If this got out, they couldn't imagine what would happen to their restaurant's reputation, and their reputation as the number one restaurant in the capital would be ruined.
The waiter gritted his teeth and pushed open the door to the private room.
