Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

Seeing that the whip was about to fall on his shoulder, Chu Yi narrowed his eyes suddenly and caught it with his bare hands.

The force of the whip exploded in his palm, causing it to feel hot, but he seemed not to feel it. He gripped it tightly, then pulled it harder, snatching the whip away.

"If it were in the past, I might have been a little afraid of you."

"But now you are old and disabled, what qualifications do you have to teach me?"

Chu Yi stood up, holding a long whip in his hand, and mocked unscrupulously.

Everyone in this world has the right to say this, except Chu Yi.

The veins on Fu Zhun's forehead were throbbing slightly, and his eyes were filled with coldness. He picked up the teacup on the table and threw it towards Chu Yi without hesitation.

The teacup hit Chu Yi's wrist exactly.

He felt a pain in his wrist, and suddenly the strength was released, and the hand holding the whip subconsciously loosened.

The long whip in his hand also fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Chu Yi's heart tightened and he quickly used his other hand to grab it.

But it was obvious that Fu Zhun was faster. Before he could touch the whip, the tea lid flew towards him.

The sound of breaking air rang in his ears, and Chu Yi raised his arms to resist without hesitation.

The tea lid collided with the bones inside, causing him to hug his arms tightly in pain, and his face turned pale.

He took a step back warily, staring at Fu Zhun with gloomy eyes, and said with gritted teeth.

"How dare you! I am the emperor."

"You dare to harm my dragon body, are you plotting treason? Come! The King of Zhenbei is plotting treason, arrest him and kill him on the spot if he resists!"

After saying this, he suddenly dropped the teacup beside him and raised his voice.

The guards outside the door immediately broke in.

Before they could get to Fu Zhun, the guards hiding in the dark surrounded Fu Zhun, holding swords and fierce eyes to protect Fu Zhun on both sides, and confronted Chu Yi's men.

Su An was pondering what had happened in his room when he suddenly heard a commotion coming from next door.

Out of curiosity, she quickly pushed the door open and went out to check.

I didn't expect to see them confronting each other.

There is no doubt that they must have had a disagreement with Li Wanyue, so they were so angry for her and started fighting!

Two men are competing for one woman. This is enough for her to enjoy for a while.

Su An was interested in watching the fun, so he rushed to the front line and asked with great interest.

"What's going on? Swords have no eyes. Can't you sit down and talk it out?"

Hearing this, Chu Yi turned his head to look at her and smiled softly.

"Don't be afraid, Miss Su. I was just joking with the Emperor's uncle. How could I really attack him?"

After saying this, he waved gently to the people behind him.

The guards quickly put their swords back into their scabbards and took a step back.

The secret guards looked at each other, restrained their murderous intent, and put away their weapons.

Fu Zhun frowned worriedly and waved at Su An.

"Come here, come to me."

Chu Yi looks harmless on the surface, but he is actually a madman inside. Who knows if he will do something to hurt Su An in a fit of rage.

Su An didn't notice anything, but he obediently walked to Fu Zhun and sat down.

Seeing that both of them were in a bad mood, they kept silent.

At this moment, her desire to eat melon reached its peak, and she couldn't help but ask a question.

"Are you talking about Miss Li?"

After hearing this, Chu Yi suddenly raised his eyebrows, looked at her with a smile, and pretended to sigh.

"Oh? Miss Su also knows about this? Back then, the Emperor's uncle and Miss Li were a perfect match, a legend in the capital."

Even at this time, you still don't forget to sow discord. Well, that's really good!

Fu Zhun suddenly tightened his fingers and glanced at Chu Yi with a bad look.

Unexpectedly, Su An was so absorbed in enjoying the show that she didn't get the meaning of his words at all. She thought he was jealous of Li Wanyue and quickly tried to persuade him.

"Well, that's not the way it's said. Childhood sweethearts are a beautiful story, of course. But there's also a saying that goes, 'The latecomer prevails.' How can childhood sweethearts compete with a gift from heaven?"

After she said this, both of them looked at her strangely.

Su An looked at Chu Yi, then at Fu Zhun, and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Did she say something wrong?

Just when the situation was awkward, a bearded doctor in a green robe suddenly rushed in, knelt on the ground with a thud, and reported in an urgent tone.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, Miss Li has a high fever that won't go away. If this continues, I'm afraid her life will be in danger!"

Chu Yi was not in a hurry at all. He sat down, looked at Fu Zhun with a slight smile on his lips, and urged him.

"No matter what, Miss Li committed suicide by jumping into the river because of the Emperor's uncle. They say that external illnesses are easy to cure, but internal knots are difficult to untie. Perhaps if the Emperor's uncle visits her, Miss Li will recover without medical treatment."

"The Emperor's uncle has always been kind-hearted. He wouldn't stand by and watch Miss Li perish, would he?"

Fu Zhun naturally understood the implication of the words.

But he didn't care at all, raised his eyebrows slightly, and was also sarcastic.

"Your Majesty is wrong. Whatever happened in the past, it is in the past. Now it is Your Majesty who shares the same feelings with Miss Li. Since Your Majesty has the ability to make Miss Li happy, he must also have a way to make her whole again."

"The Emperor has always been kind and compassionate to his people and animals. I'm sure he won't stand idly by."

The two of them went back and forth, trying to refuse each other, which confused Su An.

Wasn’t it agreed that two men would compete for one woman?

But now it seems that neither of them wants to go.

Chu Yi's face froze for a moment, but he still smiled and refused.

"I'm not a doctor, and I know nothing about medicine. Even if I were to go, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to help much. But the emperor's uncle is different. As the saying goes, long illness makes a doctor. The emperor's uncle has been seeking medical treatment for so many years, so he must have already become a half-wonderful doctor..."

Just as they were about to argue with each other again, Su An suddenly intervened and weakly raised his hand to make a suggestion.

"Miss Li's life or death is uncertain right now. Wouldn't it be a bit awkward for us to shirk responsibility? After all, we're all acquaintances. Why don't we go together?"

After hearing her say this, the two of them fell silent for a rare moment.

Fu Zhun glanced at her and nodded in agreement first.

"Okay, if you want to go, I'll go with you."

Seeing Fu Zhun showing goodwill to Su An, Chu Yi naturally did not want to be outdone and joined in.

"Since Miss Su has said so, I will give Miss Su this face."

So the three of them went to visit Li Wanyue together.

When they arrived, Li Wanyue had already woken up, but she was still lying on the bed. Her face was pale without a trace of blood, and her body was as thin as paper, as if a slight breeze could blow her away.

When she saw Fu Zhun, two lines of tears suddenly rolled down her cheeks, and she said in a hoarse and aggrieved voice.

"I was determined to die, so why did you save me? And my lord, if you don't believe me, why did you come to see me?"
