Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

Chu Yi's forehead was faintly throbbing with veins, and he suddenly shouted angrily: "How dare you!"

This sound scared Su An to death.

She shook her body subconsciously, closed her mouth at the right time, and muttered to herself.

Tsk, if you can’t say it, then don’t say it. Why are you yelling?

It's not like whoever speaks louder is right.

"I am the true dragon emperor, with power over the world. Why would I plot to frame a lowly person like you? How dare you slander my reputation like this, Su An? You are so brave! Do you think I dare not touch you?"

Chu Yi sneered and suddenly pulled out a sword from the scabbard of the guard beside him and pointed it at Su An.

A biting chill ran down her neck, causing her to shiver.

Damn it, this is too much.

Su An put on a fake smile and was thinking about how to escape when he saw Fu Zhun's eyes suddenly filled with murderous intent. He suddenly threw the sword in his hand, hitting the sword in Chu Yi's hand.

For a moment, the swords collided, creating sparks.

Chu Yi's palms were numb from the sudden force, and he suddenly released his strength.

The sword in his hand fell to the ground, stirring up some dust.

Before Su An could react, Fu Zhun grabbed her wrist and protected her behind him.

The warm palm fell on her slightly cool skin, making her feel inexplicably at ease, "Fu Zhunni..."

Su An turned his head to look at him, only to see the swaying candlelight casting a soft glow on his profile.

He actually disobeyed the emperor for his own sake.

She was stunned for a moment, and felt a warm current slowly flowing into her heart and sliding straight to the bottom of her heart.

"I am willing to guarantee with my own head that Su An is absolutely not a Northern Hu spy. I swear here that if she is really colluding with the Northern Hu, I am willing to commit suicide to atone for my crime and offer my head to Your Majesty!"

Okay, okay, one spoke disobediently and the other acted offensively.

No one took him seriously.

Chu Yi was so angry that he stared at the two of them, almost biting his back teeth to pieces.

The shop assistants were also deeply indebted to Su An and had complete faith in his character.

Seeing Chu Yi say that she was collaborating with the enemy, the guys were unhappy and started speaking up for Su An.

"Boss Su is such a kind-hearted man, how could he be involved with the ruthless Northern Hu bandits? This must be a mistake. Your Majesty, please investigate and clear Boss Su's name."

"Yes, Boss Su would never do such a treasonous act. I am willing to use my life as a guarantee."

Everyone was talking at once, their voices resounding to the sky.

It is easy to kill one person, but if you kill a hundred people, you will definitely be known as a cruel person.

Although he is the supreme ruler, he cannot bear the consequences of public anger.

Seeing that the situation was gradually getting out of control, Chu Yi had to suppress his anger and was forced to let go.

With a fake smile on his lips, he stretched out three fingers and played along with Fu Zhunxu.

"Well, since the Emperor's uncle has said so, I naturally cannot refuse him this favor. How about this! I will give him three days. If he can find out the truth and prove Miss Su's innocence within these three days, I will forgive her and spare her."

"But if the emperor's uncle can't find out, then I will execute her. What do you think, emperor's uncle?"

Facing Chu Yi's provocative gaze, Fu Zhun didn't mind. Instead, he pursed his lips and nodded slightly in response.

"Okay, I accept it."

"If I cannot uncover the truth within three days, I will die as a token of my guilt."

Hearing this, Chu Yi clapped his hands calmly and couldn't help but curl his lips in sarcasm.

"I truly admire the Emperor's uncle's broad mind. If so, I will be waiting for good news from him."

After saying this, he glanced at the guards beside him, flicked his sleeves and left.

Many guards also dispersed.

Only when he saw their backs disappear from his sight did Su An breathe a sigh of relief.

Just thinking about the three-day appointment, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Su An squatted down, frowned, looked at Fu Zhun with complicated eyes, and muttered with a pout.

"Why are you so stupid? You knew he was setting you up and luring you into this, so why did you agree to it? Now, we only have three days and we still have no clue. How can we possibly find out the truth?"

Seeing her little mouth opening and closing, muttering and chattering non-stop, Fu Zhun smiled in his eyes, slowly raised his hand, gently smoothed her brows with his fingertips, and comforted her in a low voice.

"Because I trust you. Since this was a frame-up, there must have been some clues left behind. Believe me, three days will be enough!"

The deep and magnetic voice seemed to have some kind of magic that calmed her uneasy heart.

Su An's heart trembled.

When she looked up again, her nose was already a little red, her eyes were misty, and her body was twitching. She looked like she was about to cry with emotion.

Seeing this, Fu Zhun's expression froze and his whole body stiffened.

He moved his fingers, wanting to touch her head to comfort her, but after thinking it over, he felt that it was inappropriate and quickly put it back.

Just when he was at a loss, he suddenly heard footsteps approaching from afar.

The next moment, a beautiful figure passed by.

"You're so hypocritical! If it weren't for you, this unlucky person, clinging to the prince, how could the prince risk his own life? You unlucky thing, why don't you stay away from the prince! Even if you don't feel sorry for the prince, I do!"

"Oh my--" Su An was suddenly pushed and staggered back a few steps.

Fortunately, she supported herself on the ground with her hands in time, so she didn't lose her composure in front of so many people.

She originally just wanted to cry out of being touched, but now, she was really about to cry out of pain.

Looking at the scar on his palm that was oozing blood, Su An was immediately filled with rage. He stood up from the ground and glared at the person who came with a fierce look.

Who else could be so arrogant but Li Wanyue?

Seeing her disgusted expression, Su An's face also twisted in a sinister way, "Tsk tsk."

She looked Li Wanyue up and down with a displeased look, fanned her nose with her hand, and sneered.

"Miss Li, do you usually bathe with green tea? Why does your mouth smell so strongly of tea when you open it? You're always talking about the prince, and now that the prince is really in trouble, you don't care. Is this how much Miss Li cares about the prince?"

Then he rolled his eyes and snorted:

"If I remember correctly, when the prince had a leg disease, Miss Li broke off the engagement without hesitation. If I'm a jinx, then you're a fence-sitter, swaying to whichever side of the wind blows. Who's more noble than the other?"

"You have the nerve to appear beside the prince, so why should I leave? Is it because you are shameless? Because you are evil-minded?"

Upon hearing this, Li Wanyue's face suddenly turned ashen. She pointed at Su An in frustration and spoke in a sharp voice.

"You, you bitch, how dare you slander me like this, I..."

Before he could finish his words, Fu Zhun stopped him in time.

"That's enough! It's a fact that you broke off the engagement. Are you not allowed to tell others about it?"
