"It's not that if you like someone, you have to be with her."
"I am like this, and so are you, Your Majesty."
Mo Junxing stared at Ye Wenxi for a moment, as if he were looking at a fool.
"joke!"
"What are you saying? What I want, I will do everything I can to get it."
As he spoke, he looked Ye Wenxi up and down again.
"What a fool he is, refusing a chance that's offered to him."
Ye Wenxi chuckled softly.
"Your Majesty, you don't need to waste your energy here."
"I will not cooperate with you and will not make any decisions that go against my principles."
Looking into Ye Wenxi's determined eyes, Mo Junxing realized that he had probably wasted his efforts today.
He snorted coldly, said no more, and left with a flick of his long sleeves.
And after Ye Wenxi left.
Gu Jingchun was then led over by someone.
Ye Wenxi was surprised to see Gu Jingchun come, so she immediately stepped forward, wiped the chair clean, and asked Gu Jingchun to sit down.
The first thing Gu Jingchun saw when he entered the room was the cup on the table, and he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
"Was there a customer just now?"
Ye Wenxi nodded.
First, he put the cup that Mo Junxing had used aside, then got Gu Jingchun a new cup, poured him some tea, and then explained:
"The ruler of Qi has just arrived."
"Mo Junxing?"
What is he doing here?
"Does he know that you are the owner of this place?"
Ye Wenxi shook her head.
"No, he doesn't know. He's the one who asked me to meet here."
Gu Jingchun had eaten a bit too much food, and it was a little salty, so he immediately drank the tea in his cup.
Why is that?
Thinking of what Mo Junxing had mentioned, Ye Wenxi's gaze fell on Gu Jingchun's face, and her gaze gradually deepened.
If he really tells Gu Jingchun all of this as Mo Junxing said, then what will she do?
Without even thinking, Ye Wenxi was certain that Gu Jingchun would gradually distance himself from her.
And she will never trust her again.
Because Gu Jingchun once said that.
Love is the most unreliable emotion in the world.
This is especially true for their superior-subordinate or even cooperative relationship.
If problems arise in their relationship, their business will also fall apart.
That's why Ye Wenxi always clearly remembered the boundaries between the two of them.
He would never cross the line, nor would he let Gu Jingchun know his thoughts.
So, he was momentarily lost in thought, and immediately said:
"He wants to work with me."
"cooperate?"
"Yes, he promised me a high-ranking official position and salary, wanting me to trick you into leaving so I could go to Daqi."
Gu Jingchun nodded and chuckled softly.
"He still hasn't given up on this idea. Seeing that the threat method isn't working, he's actually starting to target you. He's really persistent."
Ye Wenxi nodded.
"He won't give up on you, and those weapons you used last time won't scare him away; on the contrary, they'll make him even more fascinated by you."
"After all, no emperor can resist the temptation of these weapons in your hands."
Gu Jingchun nodded.
"I know."
"However, these weapons in my hands are not something that just anyone can covet."
"With these, even if Mo Junxing wanted to forcibly take me away, he would have to think twice about his strength."
Looking at the confidence in Gu Jingchun's eyes, Ye Wenxi was deeply fascinated by her.
He poured Gu Jingchun another cup of tea.
"Yes, right now, no one can make you do whatever you want, so just be yourself."
"I will be your strongest support."
Gu Jingchun nodded and couldn't help but look at Ye Wenxi.
"I knew it, you're the most reliable one."
Ye Wenxi looked at Gu Jingchun quietly, then slowly spoke.
“Jingchun, I’m not just saying I’m going to be your support.”
Hearing this, Gu Jingchun also looked at Ye Wenxi.
Ye Wenxi suddenly stood up and bowed respectfully to Gu Jingchun.
“Jingchun, I dare to ask to become your sworn brother. From now on, we will address each other as brother and sister.”
"In the future, I will help you manage the properties outside the palace, and I will also make further progress in the court."
"And you will inevitably have to enter the palace as a concubine in the future."
"Since she is a concubine, she needs the support of someone in the court to truly gain a foothold in the harem."
"How about I become your patron in court?"
Gu Jingchun stared at Ye Wenxi in shock.
"You...you're serious?"
Ye Wenxi nodded.
"right."
As he spoke, he knelt down.
“I know that I am of lowly status and am not worthy to be your sworn brother.”
"However, we have known each other for many years, and I manage so many of your businesses."
"So, even if I'm threatening you, I'll make you my sworn brother so I can benefit from your influence. This would be very helpful for my official position."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchun slowly chuckled.
She understood what Ye Wenxi meant.
He was clearly worried that he would be helpless and have no one in the court, so he deliberately made this request in order to help himself.
Moreover, since she entered the palace, he has been managing most of his businesses, and he probably made this request to put her at ease.
