Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

However, in the current situation, she could only agree first, otherwise the emperor would not let her go easily.

Su An immediately bowed to the emperor and said happily, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I am the first female official in our Great Chu State."

Seeing that she finally behaved herself, Chu Yi's lips curled up into a satisfied smile. She was just a country girl, yet she was still at her mercy.

"Okay, come out with me."

Chu Yi cut the ropes on her body, smiled and strode out of the carriage again calmly.

A plan suddenly flashed through his mind. Su An's heart moved slightly, and he followed it without showing it on the surface.

"Xiao An!"

"Sister——"

When Li Guihua and the others who were nervous outside saw her figure, their eyes suddenly lit up and they almost rushed forward.

Su An glanced at the majestic guards on both sides and quickly looked away to signal them not to be impulsive.

This Shura field is no joke!

"Look! Boss Su is riding in the same carriage as the Emperor. What a blessing!"

"Perhaps they have already fallen in love with Your Majesty and are about to return to the capital together..."

The people were discussing enthusiastically, and seeing that the discussion was getting more and more outrageous, Su An raised his voice and shouted: "My fellow villagers, you have misunderstood. How could a commoner like me have such a great blessing? Just now, Your Majesty was just having fun for everyone on a whim."

"Actually, His Majesty is looking for me because he saw my hard work and great achievements, so he plans to appoint me as a female official!"

Hearing this, the people's eyes instantly became more excited and eager.

"The first female official of our Great Chu is actually Boss Su. This is as glorious as being the emperor's concubine!"

Everyone looked at the emperor with awe as if he were a god.

Chu Yi was extremely pleased, his handsome features becoming even more arrogant and proud, showing off his kingly majesty: "I clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments. Su An has made great contributions, so I shall reward him."

"That's right." Su An's eyes turned, and he immediately turned around after answering, kneeling respectfully in front of Chu Yi and said:

"I am truly honored to receive such grace from Your Majesty, but I would like to ask Your Majesty to allow me to first take care of the county's road construction and other matters, and to ensure the resettlement of the refugees. Then I can go to the capital with peace of mind to serve Your Majesty!"

The emperor has a plan, and she can also take the initiative in front of the people and use the situation to delay until Fu Zhun comes back!

As expected, this shout resounded throughout the entire street. After the people were shocked, they immediately burst into thunderous cheers.

"Great, great! I was kind of reluctant to leave Boss Su, so it's great that he can stay!"

"Boss Su would rather give up the opportunity to enter the palace and stay here to benefit the villagers. He is truly a great philanthropist in our Fuyou County!"

Some people shed tears as they spoke.

"That's great! I can eat Boss Su's delicious food again in the future..."

For a moment, cheers for Su An were heard everywhere, and the atmosphere was as united and enthusiastic as a twisted hemp rope.

Seeing everyone like this, Su An couldn't help but feel his eyes warm and a warm current flowing through his heart.

Little did he know that Chu Yi looked at the shouts that were like a wave of heat, and an angry sneer appeared on his face.

He never expected that Su An would trick him.

As the Son of Heaven, besides Fu Zhun, he is the only one in the world who dares to disobey him!

He had been tolerant of Su An, the peasant girl, time and time again, but she was so ungrateful!

Chu Yi's veins throbbed on the back of his hand as he shouted angrily, "How dare you!"

The sudden change made the joyful atmosphere around them suddenly freeze.

The people shrank their necks, looking confused.

Chu Yi gave Fu Hai beside him an angry look.

Fu Hai understood immediately after seeing this, and stepped forward, pointing at Su An's nose and said sharply:

"How ridiculous! His Majesty has already issued a decree, allowing you to enter the capital as a court lady, to serve the court and the empire! How dare you arbitrarily disobey and tamper with His Majesty's will? Just because Fuyou County is your homeland, does that mean the rest of the world is no longer your homeland?! Do you still have His Majesty in your heart?"

"Disobeying the Holy Order will result in beheading at the very least, or extermination of all your clans at the worst! Think carefully!"

Su An's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

The dog emperor actually has this trick!

Oh no, with this excuse for disobedience, the emperor can punish her openly!

Seeing Su An's face of disbelief, Chu Yi felt extremely proud.

He looked down at Su An sharply, then relaxed his brows and said graciously, "Well, considering your merits, I will not punish you."

"Since you are reluctant to leave your family, I will show some mercy and bring your family to the capital!"

Huh!

The people looked at each other in bewilderment, not expecting such a result after so many twists and turns.

Li Guihua's heart was in her throat. She was trying so hard to save her three children that she didn't know what to do.

"Your Majesty, I——"

Su An was anxiously thinking of a solution, but Chu Yi interrupted him sternly, "That's enough! You've disobeyed me time and again. I've been tolerant enough towards you!"

"Come here, take all the Su family members into the carriage at the back. No further delay!"

What he said was well-reasoned and even Lin Yong couldn't say anything at the moment, not to mention the common people, as cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

If we continue to stop them, they will not be begging for mercy, but rebelling!

But just as the guards were walking towards the Su family, Jian Yi suddenly appeared and stood coldly in front of the family.

"Brother!" Su An felt like he had seen a savior and almost cried for joy. He quickly took his weak and pitiful family members and hid behind.

"Sword guard? Humph, you dare to stop me? Are you trying to rebel?" Chu Yi's face instantly turned ugly and could not be concealed.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." Jian Yi opened his mouth, but showed a black and gold token with an expressionless face.

"I hope Your Majesty will forgive me. Su An is a retainer of my prince. The prince ordered her to supervise the road construction in Fuyou County. She cannot leave here before completing the task. I beg Your Majesty to understand."

"How dare you!" When Chu Yi mentioned Fu Zhun, a fierce and murderous look appeared in his eyes.

That dead cripple has left, but he still wants to hold him back. How hateful!

"Taking Su An away is my order. Even if the emperor's uncle is here, you cannot disobey my order. You are committing treason and you should be executed!"

Chu Yi shouted in a low growl, shooting a cold glare at the guard beside him, "Deal with this traitor immediately, and I will consider it as clearing the door for my uncle!"

Upon hearing this, the aura of the guards from both teams immediately became dangerous, and Jian Yi quickly grasped the sword at his waist, ready to strike.

The people didn't know what was going on, but when they heard the word "traitor", they panicked and hid quickly.

Lin Yong gritted his teeth and immediately ordered the yamen runners to escort the people away. In fact, he was standing on Su An's side without leaving a trace.

At this tense moment, Su An closed his eyes, steeled his heart, and shouted directly: "Your Majesty, calm down! Are you really going to turn against the prince?"

"The prince values ​​me, his retainer, and the people under his command very highly. Are you really prepared to wipe them out all at once?!"

Su An didn't know whether this was true or not, but he guessed that since the emperor waited until Fu Zhun left before appearing, he must be afraid of something.

A dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor.

This loud shout was like the sound of a bell ringing in Chu Yi's mind, causing his breathing to become heavier for a moment and his face to become darker.

"stop!"

There was no one around, so Chu Yi frowned and shouted coldly, calling back the guards.

Thinking about it carefully, he almost let his anger get the better of him, luckily no one saw it!

Chu Yi's fiery and vicious gaze fell on Su An again: "Okay, for your sake, I will forgive you this time."

"However, things happened suddenly, so I decided to settle down here first and consider it later. So I will stay at your house temporarily for the time being!"
