Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

The medicine seemed to be working a little.

The man was not revived, but he was barely hanging on and his breathing could be heard intermittently.

Xuesha hugged Feng Chunlian tightly, and the eight-foot-tall man shed red tears.

It was unclear whether he was mumbling or speaking, but he just sat there stupidly, choking and babble-ing about the story between them. "Master, do you remember the first time we met? Back then, you were like a fairy descending to earth, saving a downtrodden person like me."

"From then on, I vowed to protect you for the rest of my life..."

"I haven't repaid you yet. I didn't protect you well. You can't die!"

The sad crying sound was like a thick haze, tightly covering the small secret room.

Su An's throat tightened involuntarily. He didn't know if it was because of the atmosphere, but a trace of despair filled his heart.

Unable to bear watching any longer, she turned around, relaxed her exhausted body, and threw herself into Fu Zhun's arms without hesitation.

"Do you think she can be saved..."

Fu Zhun tightened his arms around her waist slightly, and looked down at Su An in his arms. His black eyes were like the deep water of a lake, rippling with unknown tenderness.

"No matter what, we have tried our best. If she can hold on, there may be a glimmer of hope." Fu Zhun whispered, gently stroking Su An's hair to comfort her.

The hand was slow and steady, causing Su An's eyelashes to tremble, and his restless mood gradually calmed down.

Alas, I hope so!

If we really can't get out of this secret room, maybe it's just fate that we're buried together, as Fu Zhun said.

Su An was thinking in a daze, and soon his eyelids began to droop, and he took a short rest feeling tired and sleepy.

How nice it would be if I could wake up and find that it was all a dream.

Su An was holding on to some hope, but was soon awakened by Xue Sha's increasingly frightened shouts.

"Chunlian! Chunlian, wake up!"

"Quick, feed Chunlian some more pills!"

Xuesha held Feng Chunlian in his arms and dared not move. He could only stare at Su An with his red and swollen eyes and roar.

Feng Chunlian's breath became weaker and weaker, like a wisp of swaying tobacco that could dissipate in the cold secret room at any time.

Xuesha hugged her tightly, his eyes filled with despair and helplessness.

"The pills are gone, there are only three, and the one I just fed you was the last one." Su An looked at him with a dry throat, and he also felt a chill in his heart.

The air around seemed to freeze.

Xuesha didn't say anything else, but just bit his back teeth with a bloodshot look in his eyes. The blood stains on his lips showed his despair and collapse.

Just when Su An turned his head away and couldn't bear to watch anymore, there was a sudden "boom" and a huge noise came from the wall.

A hole as tall as a person was broken out of the wall of the secret passage, and a dazzling light instantly poured in from the hole.

Su An's mouth trembled suddenly, and he was stunned for half a second. Surprise instantly appeared in his eyes, "Hole, hole!"

"We are saved!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several soldiers in armor rushed in.

After a quick look around, he discovered that Fu Zhun and Su An also burst into joy at the same time.

"Hurry up and inform everyone! The prince and Miss Su have been found!"

After the leading soldier finished speaking, he quickly walked up to Fu Zhun, knelt on one knee, and said in shame: "Your Highness, I am late and frightened you and Miss Su!"

Fu Zhun nodded slightly, half-closed his eyes in the sunlight, and his face looked surprisingly pale and tired.

"Get up, take us out, and the rest of you continue the rescue."

After giving simple instructions in a hoarse voice, he suddenly felt weak, his eyes slowly closed, and his whole body seemed to have lost all support.

"Fu Zhun!" Su An exclaimed, the excitement in his heart broke instantly, and he subconsciously reached out to catch him.

However, the soldier was quicker and supported Fu Zhun steadily, then said to Su An anxiously: "Miss Su, the miracle doctor is outside. I will take the prince to the miracle doctor for treatment first. Miss Su, please explain the situation!"

Su An was worried in her heart, but nodded helplessly. She felt more at ease since the miracle doctor was with her.

After instructing the soldiers to send Xuesha and Feng Chunlian out for treatment, Su An continued to explain the layout of the secret passage, saying that there were probably dozens of people trapped inside.

"This tunnel is prone to collapse again after being bombed. Tell the soldiers to rescue it if they can. If the situation is not right, evacuate it in time. Your own life is more important!" Su An frowned and gave a heavy instruction.

She did not forget the situation of people killing each other in the secret passage, even Feng Chunlian was killed!

Such a mean person who is always ungrateful is not worth the soldiers taking the risk to rescue!

The soldiers nodded heavily in response and secretly looked up to the girl in front of them.

The prince had ordered that when he was not around, Miss Su would have command of the operations. He had thought that she was just an ordinary girl, kind-hearted and brainless, but he had not expected that she had such a broad view and considered the safety of his soldiers!

The respect of the soldiers for Su An silently increased.

Su An didn't pay attention to their expressions. He quickly finished explaining the situation and turned to head towards the tent where Fu Zhun was.

During the days they were trapped in the secret passage, the soldiers set up camp outside and dug holes to rescue them, and are now clearing the secret passage in an orderly manner.

Su An walked around quickly and just caught up with Xie Qingfeng walking out of the tent with an ugly and serious expression on his face.

She shuddered, a bad feeling rising in her heart, "Divine Doctor, how is Fu Zhun?"

"How on earth did you end up like this?" Xie Qingfeng looked at her, his brows furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly.

"The prince took three Hidden Dragon Pills in a row to forcibly increase his power, but he was unable to get any nourishment. Now the backlash has damaged his internal organs and hollowed out his body. His condition is critical."

Xie Qingfeng scratched his hair in annoyance. "I'm going to get some medicine now. If you're free, just keep an eye on him! If there's anything wrong, send someone to me immediately!"

After he finished speaking, he left quickly, leaving Su An standing there in a daze, with tears slowly seeping out of his eyes.

"The situation is so bad... I actually doubted him before, I..."

Damn it! ! !

The surge of remorse and self-blame made Su An unable to even cry. He bit his lips tightly and rushed in.

Fu Zhun lay quietly on the wooden couch, his hands placed limply on both sides of his body, his long fingers slightly bent, as if he was looking for something even in his sleep.

His breathing was weak and slow, and every rise and fall made people nervous, fearing that it would stop at the next moment.

Su Anwei's face turned pale and he didn't dare to make a sound. He could only stand by and wipe the sweat off Fu Zhun's body and do what he could.

The bitter smell of medicine filled the tent for three days.

Instead of waiting for Fu Zhun to wake up, he waited until Feng Chunlian appeared with the careful support of Xue Sha.

Xue Sha's face was full of concern and nervousness, as if he was afraid that Feng Chunlian would make any mistakes. "Be careful!"

Su An was speechless after watching this scene.

"Miss Su, thank you so much this time, otherwise I would have died in the ground."

"How is the prince?"
