Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

Chapter 224 The More You Know, the Faster You Die

That night, Su An tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

Her mind was filled with noise and killing, and Wang Yi's words kept circling in her ears, making her thoughts even more confused.

She always felt that things were not as simple as Wang Yi said.

However, after racking her brains for a while, she still couldn't figure it out.

The moonlight outside the room seemed even brighter against the backdrop of the night, and the light and shadow shining through the window gradually moved as time passed until it disappeared.

I don't know when it was before she yawned and slowly fell asleep.

The next morning, she got up early without waiting for anyone to call her.

After a quick wash, she knocked on Fu Zhun's door in a hurry with panda eyes.

"Fu Zhun, are you awake?"

Hearing the sound, Fu Zhun pushed the wheelchair and slowly opened the door.

When he looked up, he saw Su An's haggard face. Fu Zhun was stunned for a moment, raised his hand and touched his lower eyelid, with some pity and self-blame in his eyes, and asked softly.

"You, were you unable to sleep last night because you were frightened?"

Following his example, Su An raised his hand and touched under his eyes.

Sure enough, I was a little edematous due to lack of sleep.

If it were in the past, she would definitely not let herself be so embarrassed, but now her life is almost gone, why would she care about so many things?

She quickly waved her hand and changed the subject.

"That's not the point. The point is that I think Wang Yi is lying."

Hearing her mention this, Fu Zhun's expression became more serious. He looked around vigilantly, then stepped back, lowered his voice, and spoke to her.

"Come in and talk."

Su An didn't act pretentiously and walked straight into the room.

After closing the door, Fu Zhun considerately poured her a cup of tea and responded in a faint voice.

"Whether Wang Yi lied or not is unknown, but I think the assassination could not have been carried out by Wang Yi alone. Or perhaps it was done by someone else who was hiding in the dark and difficult to detect."

"What you said makes some sense, but we don't have any other clues right now. I'm afraid we can only start with Wang Yi."

Su An frowned thoughtfully and lightly twisted her lips with her fingertips.

Seeing that she thought the same thing as him, Fu Zhun's brows relaxed a little, the corners of his lips curved up, and he nodded in agreement.

"That's right, let's start with Wang Yi."

Then, Fu Zhun slowly put down the teacup and raised his voice slightly.

"An Yi, go get Wang Yi's confession."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark shadow flashed past the door.

Soon, An Yi presented his confession.

In order to make it easier for the two of them to check, he also made an extra copy.

"Wang Yi said that Li Wanyue did this to frame me. But if that's true, couldn't those assassins last night just be pretending? Why did they keep chasing the emperor? It didn't seem like they were acting, it seemed more like..."

Su An held the testimony tightly in his hand, frowned, and muttered to himself.

Before she could finish her words, Fu Zhun continued in a cold voice.

"It was a real assassination, their target was his life!"

If that's the case, then she's in big trouble.

She opened the shop just to make some money, why is it so difficult!

Su An sighed lightly and analyzed with a pout.

"These assassins were able to accurately locate the emperor's room and enter quietly without alerting anyone. This is definitely not accidental. There must be an insider in the shop."

As the two were discussing, they suddenly heard footsteps approaching from outside the door.

Fu Zhun subconsciously looked towards the door, raised his index finger, put it to his lips, and made a gesture to keep quiet.

Seeing this, Su An also turned his head and looked back.

The next moment, the door was pushed open from the outside, and a purple figure rushed towards Fu Zhun.

The person who came was none other than Li Wanyue.

Seeing this, Su An's face changed with fear, and he quickly moved his chair back, fearing that he would be touched by Li Wanyue.

"Miss Li, please respect yourself!"

Fu Zhun also gripped the handle of the wheelchair tightly, and with a gloomy face, he quickly shouted to stop him.

After hearing this, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Li Wanyue's face, and she stopped just one step away from him.

But soon, her eyes turned red and tears flowed down her cheeks and fell to the ground one by one. It was such a pitiful scene!

Su An couldn't help but smack his lips and sigh.

Li Wanyue held a handkerchief in her hand and looked at Fu Zhun with her charming eyes, innocent and aggrieved.

"Your Highness, are you disgusted with Yue'er? If Yue'er was forced last night, would Your Highness believe it?"

"Over the years, Yue'er has only had the prince in her heart. After what happened last night, Yue'er knew she couldn't face the prince and wanted to just leave. However, Yue'er was truly concerned about the prince and worried that he would be left without anyone to take care of him after Yue'er left, so she shamelessly came to visit him."

"Doesn't the prince trust Yue'er's character either?"

Talking about what happened last night, some scenes emerged in Su An's mind again. He immediately looked embarrassed and quickly looked away.

This should be considered a royal secret! As the saying goes, the more you know about the royal family, the faster you die.

Saving her life is the most important thing, so she should stay away from it!

Thinking of this, she couldn't help swallowing and quietly moved her body, thinking about how to sneak out of the room without the two of them noticing.

While she was thinking, Li Wanyue was already crying uncontrollably, and she moved towards Fu Zhun again.

Seeing this, Su An quickly stood up and pretended to be calm as he was about to walk out.

Noticing her movements, Fu Zhun immediately became anxious, his face terribly gloomy.

He suddenly waved his hand and pushed Li Wanyue far away. His deep eyes narrowed at this moment, and a few cold words came out of his thin lips.

"This king doesn't need your care, get out!"

It’s over, it’s over, run!

If you don't leave now, you will be killed to silence you.

Su An's heart tightened, and without caring about anything else, he trotted towards the door.

"Stop, Su An, come back!"

Just when she was only one step away from the door, Fu Zhun suddenly spoke to stop her.

Su An had already stepped his foot into the air and had to retract it.

She turned around with a fake smile on her face, looked at Fu Zhun, then at Li Wanyue, and muttered awkwardly.

"After all, this is a private matter between you two. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for me, an outsider, to be here?"

Outsiders? She was indeed angry!

Fu Zhun frowned and glanced at her, then softened his tone: "There's nothing wrong with it. Besides, there's no relationship between her and me anymore, so there's nothing to say now."

There was a flash of hurt in Li Wanyue's eyes, and she pointed at Su An and questioned him.

"Because of her, right? Is it because she caused discord between us that you don't believe me? You obviously didn't treat me like this before."
