Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

Su An was stunned when he heard this, and looked over in a daze.

Against the backdrop of mottled tree shadows and golden osmanthus flowers, Fu Zhun sat quietly in a wheelchair, his deep eyes like a bottomless pool, so black that it was impossible to see clearly.

A black robe was draped neatly on him, with the hem hanging on both sides, swaying gently with the occasional breeze. It was cool and elegant, yet with a hint of imperceptible loneliness.

Su An's heart suddenly tightened, and inexplicable and complicated emotions spread.

She curled her lips in dissatisfaction: "I don't want it. You want to drive me away after squeezing me. It's like you're killing the donkey after the bird is gone and the bow is put away."

Fu Zhun didn't expect her to say that. He raised his eyebrows slightly and almost laughed out of anger.

He curled his index finger and pointed at her, "Your ability to tell lies is getting stronger. If you don't go home, do you think you can still wander around the world?"

Su An's eyelashes drooped slightly.

It wasn't her illusion. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Fu Zhun's words and actions were filled with subtle intimacy, which caught her off guard and made her blush.

She coughed lightly, her eyes glancing around uncomfortably as she said, "You've only just recovered. Although the disaster situation in Jizhou has stabilized a lot now, what if something unexpected happens again? How can someone as responsible as me leave without worry?"

Besides, there is no need to worry about home. We exchanged letters a while ago and everything is fine.

However, Fu Zhun's sequelae have not yet healed, so she can't help but feel worried.

Fu Zhun looked at her steadily, and could naturally hear the concern for him implied in Su An's words, and a smile flashed across his black eyes.

"Everything is proceeding smoothly. There won't be any problems. Besides, I'm here. Do you still not trust me?"

Su An bit his lip indignantly and wanted to say something.

Fu Zhun raised his hand and interrupted her for the first time.

His deep voice deepened slightly, and with a hint of authority in his helpless tone, he said, "You should go back and have a good rest. Don't exhaust yourself, and don't let your family worry about you for too long."

"This matter is non-negotiable. I will order the Marquis to accompany you all the way back."

Su An: "..."

My goodness, they all claim to be the king, this hateful monarchical society!

Su An was angry, but she moved her lips and couldn't say no. After all, she missed her family very much.

"Let me go, I can't wait to go back, I don't need you to drive me away."

This mumbling made Zhou Yue, who was sitting next to him and eating as if he was invisible, laugh out loud.

He was also wondering why the prince suddenly dismissed him from his post and summoned him to have dinner. So that's why.

I couldn't help but smile and sigh, "I've never seen the prince be so gentle. Usually, the prince's cold and stern appearance can intimidate us all, but now he is so tender and affectionate towards Miss Su, which makes others envious."

These joking words made Su An feel as if the hazy window paper was pierced, and her cheeks turned red instantly.

She quickly pushed several plates of delicious food in front of her, "My Lord, if you like the food I cook, then eat more! You won't have the chance to eat it every day in the future!"

If it were someone else, she would just stuff a handful of food in their mouth to block it!

Zhou Yue and Fu Zhun looked at each other, and they both smiled in tacit understanding without saying anything.

After finishing the meal, Su An went straight to find Xie Qingfeng.

"Is Fu Zhun really alright?"

Xie Qingfeng had obviously known that Su An was going to leave. He showed no impatience and reassured her: "You just need to take good care of yourself. You will be fully recovered in ten days or half a month."

"Don't worry, I will make sure the prince takes his medicine for you."

Su An then breathed a sigh of relief, and his worries were completely put aside. With a feeling of reluctance and anticipation, he went back to the house excitedly to pack up.

Early the next morning.

The morning light had just shone on the city wall when Fu Zhun's farewell carriage had already arrived at the city gate.

"Be careful on the way." Fu Zhun warned, his voice as low as water.

"After I finish my business in Jizhou, I will come find you."

Afraid of revealing his emotions, he endured it and chose not to get off the carriage. He just left this hurried sentence and ordered his men to return home.

Looking at his car that was going away, Su An curled his lips, but still couldn't help muttering: "Tsk tsk, so heartless, so heartless, he didn't even stay a little longer to say goodbye, it was a mistake after all!"

Zhou Yue sipped tea calmly and leisurely beside him. He had a general idea of ​​Su An's temperament and was no longer surprised.

Although he often says shocking things, it's strangely fun to be around him.

"The prince has entrusted me to take good care of Miss Su, so you'd better sit tight, we are about to set off."

Su An's neck shrank and he retracted his head from the window, "Go, go, go!"

It took five days to come here, and she brought back a lot of local specialties this time, so it will probably take two more days, right?

Su An estimated the time with a smile, but he never expected that an accident would happen about half an hour after the carriage drove out of the suburbs.

When they reached a path beside a wood, a group of masked men in black suddenly rushed out of the woods and blocked the carriage's way with murderous intent.

The leader, a man in black, held a long sword and shouted loudly, "We in the Blood Lotus Sect will never let any of the government's lackeys go. Kill them all!"

What? Blood Lotus Cult?!

What the hell are those people outside talking about!

Su An lifted the curtain of the carriage and took a look. He saw a group of people with their faces covered and his appearance was completely invisible. He immediately frowned.

"You guys want to rob people on the road, but you can't find a better excuse. The Blood Lotus Sect has long since surrendered to the King of Zhenbei, and the two sides have reconciled. The remaining believers have been settled in the city. Where did you come from?"

But no one paid any attention to them. They all had murderous looks in their eyes, and rushed towards the carriage with knives in hand and shouting.

"They smell like desperate criminals, not ordinary bandits. This is not a simple matter. Miss Su, hide well!"

Zhou Yue shouted loudly, and murderous intent flashed across his weathered and righteous face. He drew his sword and joined the soldiers in fighting against the surrounding men in black.

"Do you know who we are? We are assassinating the emperor and his entire clan! If you surrender now, I will give you a lighter sentence!"

Zhou Yue shouted coldly while brandishing the sword in his hand with great vigor and fighting with the man in black.

However, the only responses he received were the clashing of swords and the deafening shouts of killing.

Zhou Yue was an experienced martial artist, and the soldiers who accompanied him were picked from hundreds. However, he did not expect that the enemy had so many people and each of them was so skilled. Under the constant siege, they soon fell into a disadvantage!

"Protect Miss Su and retreat first!"

Seeing that they were about to be forced onto the carriage, beads of sweat gradually appeared on Zhou Yue's forehead, and he had no choice but to arrange a few people to cover his retreat.

Immediately he jumped up, pulled the reins of the carriage and prepared to take Su An out of the encirclement first.

"Where are you running to, you dog official?"

Suddenly there was a loud shout, and the hillsides on both sides shook with a "boom", and many large rocks fell towards the carriage!

"Oh no--" Su An exclaimed with his eyes wide open. It was too late to remind Zhou Yue. The huge rocks were falling down like a torrential rain!
