Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

"Fu Zhun, if you kill me, you're rebelling!"

Seeing that everyone was intimidated by him, He Cheng curled his lips and sneered with complacency.

According to the laws of this dynasty, anyone who rebels will have his entire clan executed!

Su An looked at Fu Zhun with concern.

He Cheng was wrong after all!

"Execute." Fu Huai ordered calmly. With just these two casual words, all the anxiety was put to rest.

The executioner, who had hesitated due to the intimidation, showed his bloodthirsty grin again on his face.

He Cheng looked at Fu Zhun in disbelief. He didn't expect that even after he had brought up the emperor, Fu Zhun still wanted to kill him.

"Fu Zhun, you..."

The executioner raised his hand and slapped He Cheng in the face to interrupt him, then raised the long knife in his hand neatly.

Under the sunlight, the knife flashed like lightning and wind, swiftly slashing towards He Cheng's neck.

Just as He Cheng was about to be separated from his body, a loud roar suddenly rang out.

"Stop it!"

The executioner's long knife suddenly stopped, and the sharp blade that could cut through hair was only a few millimeters away from He Cheng's neck. Su An sighed gently and looked back.

Chu Yi was seen walking towards them slowly in a dragon robe, his youthful aura was intimidating without even being angry.

A hint of disgust flashed across Su An's eyes, and he hugged his younger brother and sister-in-law tightly.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please save me! I exposed the true face of the King of Zhenbei, but he turned around and framed me!"

Su An's heart sank when he heard He Cheng shouting.

This despicable and shameless villain was about to die, but he still wanted to bite Fu Zhun back!

"Is this really true?" Chu Yi's narrow eyes flashed slightly, and he looked surprised.

He Cheng kowtowed to Chu Yi and said bitterly, "I have never lied to you. The King of Zhenbei even issued a self-criticism edict, proving his guilt!"

"What?" Chu Yi's face was filled with astonishment, and then he was heartbroken: "Uncle, if you are wrong, I will definitely pardon your life, but how can you frame a loyal minister!"

ha?

Su An was so angry that he really wanted to run over and slap the dog emperor in front of everyone.

But her wrist was held by someone. Fu Zhun looked at her seriously and tried to comfort her.

Fu Huai then solemnly addressed Chu Yi, "I have never slandered He Cheng. It was He Cheng who kidnapped Miss Su's family and used this to threaten me into confessing my sins and admitting to the false accusations."

Chu Yi grinned, nodded slightly, and turned to look at He Cheng: "Is there such a thing?"

"No, absolutely not!" He Cheng immediately denied it.

"Uncle, this isn't happening at all! I think it's all a misunderstanding!" Chu Yi waved his hand casually, and then said to the guards behind him: "All of you, go and release He Cheng immediately!"

Su An gritted his teeth and almost rushed forward to argue again, but Fu Zhun tightened his grip slightly. He squinted his eyes, his expression slightly dark.

A guard was about to walk towards He Cheng, but unexpectedly, he was blocked by the people near the execution platform.

The people were filled with anger and fell to their knees, saying, "Your Majesty, this He Cheng is a wicked man! You cannot let him go!"

"That's right, the crimes committed by He Cheng are too numerous to list. If we release him, where will the laws of our dynasty be established?" His own family was almost killed by He Cheng. How could Su An be willing to let He Cheng get away with it?

"Your Majesty, He Cheng has murdered the entire city's citizens in a quest for power and profit. His crime is unforgivable. If you release He Cheng, word will spread that Your Majesty is too frivolous and unworthy of the responsibility of the country!"

Fu Zhun saw the emperor's face full of disapproval, narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke threateningly.

Fu Zhun! How dare you threaten me!

Chu Yi's teeth creaked, his eyes filled with gloom, but he feigned a gentle smile and said, "Uncle, this is just your opinion. Does it mean everything you say is true? The people must not be deceived!"

"Ah!"

Su An immediately sneered sarcastically: "Your Majesty, then your belief that He Cheng is innocent is not just your own opinion, isn't it?"

"Your Majesty, do you think I'm untrustworthy? Fine, then I'll produce the evidence!"

Fu Zhun asked for the indictment and calmly read out the crimes He Cheng had committed.

"He Cheng murdered his ex-fiancée, kidnapped innocent people, murdered a prince, and poisoned an entire city—"

As the charges were announced one by one, the emperor became more and more shocked, and his eyes fixed on He Cheng.

Cold sweat ran down He Cheng's back, and he sensed the murderous coldness in the emperor's eyes.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I do all this for you!"

"Shut up!"

The eunuch Fu Hai immediately stepped forward and kicked him to the ground.

"You bastard, you've committed so many sins for your own selfish reasons, yet you dare to bring them upon His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, He Cheng has committed numerous crimes, and his crimes are unforgivable. Please, Your Majesty, help us!"

After He Cheng's crimes were read out, a group of people knelt down one after another.

Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. Chu Yi's eyes flashed, and he immediately gritted his teeth in anger and said, "He Cheng, I never thought you would commit so many sins in my name. I was almost deceived by you!"

"Come here, pass on my decree. Immediately exile Hecheng to the southern border three thousand miles away. Never return to Kyoto without my permission!"

As soon as this oral order came out, the people's morale immediately improved, and they all praised the emperor for being wise!

Chu Yi smiled with satisfaction.

Su An was so angry that his teeth were itching. He said that he would be exiled to southern Xinjiang, but in fact, it was all for the purpose of saving He Cheng's life. Who knows whether he would be exiled in the end?

"Heh!" Fu Zhun sneered slightly as he watched Chu Yi put on such a good show.

"Your Majesty, He Cheng has committed numerous crimes and should be executed according to the law. Furthermore, the journey to Southern Xinjiang is long, and I'm afraid he'll be dead before he even reaches it!"

Hearing this, the emperor couldn't help but snort coldly, and said with a forced smile: "I am the Son of Heaven. Remembering our past friendship, I want to pardon He Cheng once. Do I have to listen to my uncle's orders?"

Fu Zhun closed his mouth expressionlessly, and said calmly after a moment: "I dare not."

what!

He Cheng couldn't contain his pride and burst out laughing.

Even if it is discovered that he has committed many crimes, what can be done?

You still have to let him go.

After He Cheng was taken away, Su An thought the emperor would follow him, but she never expected him to walk up to her, his eyes curved and his smile as bright as spring breeze: "Miss Su, you will entertain me for the next few days. You are an amazing cook, and I love the food you cook."

Su An almost subconsciously wanted to refuse, but before he could open his mouth, he could speak.

Chu Yi suddenly exclaimed in surprise and raised his hand to touch Su An.

"What is this?" His slightly cold fingers fell on Su An's forehead.

Su An's pupils couldn't help but constrict, and he grabbed his sister-in-law and tried to step back.

However, Chu Yi took the initiative to hold her shoulders, bent down and pressed against her soft earlobe: "Miss Su, don't move, there seems to be a piece of catkins tangled in the hairdresser!"

He said this, but his eyes were fixed on Fu Zhun, his eyes narrowed with a cold smile that seemed to be a smile.

Fu Zhun's hands instantly clenched the armrests of the wheelchair. He looked at the emperor's lips almost touching Su An's ear, and the jealousy in his heart instantly overturned.

"Your Majesty, Miss Su's place is nowhere near as safe as mine. The current situation is turbulent. How can Your Majesty disregard your own safety just to satisfy your appetite? I think Your Majesty should stay with me."

Fu Zhun's face remained expressionless, but the emperor chuckled softly, "What can I do? I just want to live with Miss Su."
