Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

Chu Yi came back to his senses, then raised the corner of his mouth in a mocking tone: "Uncle Emperor is really worried about me. He is still worried about me even after he left."

The emperor was always sarcastic, but Su An didn't want to care about him. She smiled and said, "If it's inconvenient for your majesty, I can help you gain your trust."

Maybe I can find out about Fu Zhun by the way.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yi gritted his teeth in dissatisfaction.

He likes to compare himself with Fu Zhun in everything. Now Su An's performance obviously regards Fu Zhun as more important. How can he be happy about it?

He snorted coldly and said, "No need!"

Porridge was still being distributed outside, and the victims were queuing in a crowded queue. The messenger leading the horse was particularly conspicuous.

Chu Yi thought of the scene of the victims shouting "Long live the disaster!", and without summoning them, he strode out majestically.

As expected, the surrounding victims were delighted when they saw this and became noisy again.

"Your Majesty, it's Your Majesty! I missed you just now, but I never thought I'd have the honor of seeing you in person!"

The boiling sounds coming from all directions greatly satisfied Chu Yi's vanity. His complexion improved a lot, and he looked particularly friendly when he looked at the messenger.

"Here's the letter? Bring it to me."

Su An followed behind, looking eagerly, wishing that the emperor would take the letter and leave as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty, please take a look." The messenger took out the envelope and handed it over respectfully with his head lowered.

But just as Chu Yi reached out to take it, there was a sudden "swish" sound, and the messenger suddenly drew out the dagger hidden in his arms and stabbed towards Chu Yi with lightning speed.

"Your Majesty, today is the day you die!"

It happened in an instant, and no one could react.

However, Chu Yi truly felt the loom of death!

"presumptuous!"

His eyes were bloodshot and he took a big step back with extremely quick reaction. At the same time, he grabbed Su An beside him and pushed him forward.

"What the hell?!" Su An was completely dumbfounded. He was pushed straight towards the messenger, and the sharp sword light was within reach!

Damn it, she never dreamed that she would die while blocking the knife!

He is indeed a dog emperor, not a human being!

"Miss Su!"

Suddenly, a woman's scream rang in his ears, and a nimble figure flashed and appeared, pulling Su An back in an instant, and at the same time kicking the messenger hard with a nimble foot.

Su An's heart was pounding as he recognized the woman's raised eyebrows and eyes, "An Wu? It's you, handsome sister!"

Last time, it was An Wu who helped her deal with the group of people blocking her in the granary. Unexpectedly, he saved her life again in a crisis!

"Damn it, come together!"

The messenger's weapon was kicked away, and he roared with a sinister look on his face.

As the words fell, several figures suddenly jumped out from the queue of victims, all of them full of murderous intent. They took out daggers and rushed into the shop frantically.

"Ah!" They didn't expect that there would be a killer hiding in the team. The real victims around them suddenly fell into chaos and fled for their lives.

The Fuhai people standing by were already dumbfounded. Only then did they turn pale and shrilly yell, "Protect the emperor! Protect the emperor quickly!"

The emperor was accompanied by twenty guards, but there were also some hiding in the dark, including his confidant Cheng Chang, who immediately led his men to attack the assassin.

"Girl, remember to hide behind me." An Wu said concisely and firmly protected Su An as he retreated away from the battlefield.

Chu Yi looked at the flashing swords and sabers outside in shock, and when he saw that Su An was being protected, his veins popped up and he was furious.

"You bastards, why don't you come and protect me together!"

Su An couldn't help but curse inwardly again.

This damn assassin was even blocked outside, and the emperor was so scared that he was jumping up and down. He was even more cowardly than her!

With a snort, she thought, "I would rather die than have my friend die." She moved her ears and pretended not to hear.

Fortunately, Lin Yong received the news in time. Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, he quickly brought his men to attack together.

Seeing that they were no match for their opponent, the assassins retreated in unison in the blink of an eye. They were familiar with their surroundings and disappeared without a trace in a moment.

"What a bunch of trash!"

Chu Yi cursed with a dark face as he failed to catch a single person alive.

Suddenly remembering something, he angrily opened the crumpled letter in his hand.

"Haha, my good uncle is really concerned about my safety. He's urging me to return to the capital. It's not safe here. There are spies from the Northern Hu and refugees sneaking in here."

After a pause, he looked at the contents of the letter and narrowed his eyes coldly, saying, "The emperor's uncle was also assassinated last time. Was it the spy from the Northern Hu who did it?"

"In my opinion, this is pure nonsense!"

Chu Yi was furious and tore the letter to pieces, his eyes flashing with a fierce light: "It is clear that the emperor's uncle is colluding with the Northern Hu. The letter was sent by a Northern Hu spy. He wants to murder me and collude with the enemy and treason to usurp the throne. How bold!"

Hearing this, everyone around was shocked.

Fu Hai and the others knelt down fiercely, "Your Majesty, please calm down!"

Su An still stood straight, not because she was rebellious, but because she was shocked and angry at the emperor's words.

She looked at Chu Yi with an unreasonable expression, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. I was right there when Fu Zhun was assassinated last time. I can testify that Fu Zhun was completely unaware of it!"

As soon as the words came out, Chu Yi, who was already furious, immediately pointed the finger at her, "I almost forgot about you. You have been colluding with the traitor Fu Zhun for a long time. You must have been involved in the assassination."

"Even if you instigated me to distribute porridge today, you're still suspicious. Perhaps you're the Northern Hu spy!"

ha? ? ?

Su An was so angry that he laughed, and his fingertips were shaking.

Seeing this, Lin Yong, who was standing by, knelt down and clasped his hands, saying in a stern voice, "Your Majesty, please understand. Su An is a local citizen who was born and raised in the county. He has always been law-abiding and there is no way he could be connected to the Northern Hu!"

"I am willing to guarantee Su An's innocence with my own life!"

Thinking of all that Su An had contributed to the county and Fu Zhun's instructions before he left, Lin Yong gave up completely, kowtowed heavily and shouted.

Chu Yi stared at his black hat, and suddenly his smile became more sinister.

"I never thought the Emperor's uncle would bribe even a small official. What benefits did he promise you to make you willingly follow him and risk your lives?"

The emperor's raging anger was filled with coercion. Even though the emperor was young, the inherent ruthlessness of the superior still made Lin Yong break out in cold sweats.

"Your Majesty is wise, this humble official and the prince are not..."

"Forget it, don't bother quibbling in front of me and making me upset!" Chu Yi had just experienced an assassination and was extremely impatient.

He waved his hand and shouted coldly: "Cheng Chang!"

"Put Su An and the county magistrate in jail. They are both suspects. I must thoroughly investigate them!"

At this juncture, His Majesty was afraid that everyone he saw was suspicious, so Cheng Chang did not dare to delay any further: "Yes!"

I was afraid that if I answered even a second late, I would be suspected!

Looking at this emperor who didn't recognize his relatives, Su An felt extremely shocked and absurd.

"No wonder the world disrespects you, you're a complete tyrant!"
