Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

After saying this, she started coughing violently, which made Su An frightened.

She was afraid that Li Wanyue would not be able to catch her breath and would cough herself to death.

Fu Zhun frowned and snorted in disgust.

"Who said I came to visit you? You are so self-indulgent! Jian Yi, bring the person up!"

The next moment, Jian Yi was seen carrying Wang Yi into the room.

Only one day had passed, but Wang Yi looked much more depressed than before. His beard was unshaven and he looked a little dazed. When he saw Fu Zhun and Chu Yi, his legs went weak and he begged for mercy.

"Your Majesty, I was ordered to do this by someone else. This was not my intention!"

Fu Zhun looked at Li Wanyue calmly and asked calmly.

"Then I ask you, do you recognize the person before you?"

After hearing this, Wang Yi dared to look up and glanced cautiously at the bed.

The bed was surrounded by curtains, and although he couldn't see clearly, he could still make out the outline.

After taking a look, he quickly lowered his head again and nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"Yes, I recognize you. It's Miss Li. Miss Li told me to do this. I was confused for a moment and that's why I did this. Now I have handed over all the money I earned. Please, Your Highness, spare my life!"

After hearing this, Chu Yi couldn't help but feel suspicious and turned his gaze to Li Wanyue.

Fu Zhun even slapped the handle of the wheelchair and questioned him harshly.

"I have now ascertained that the assassination of the Emperor was committed by the Northern Barbarians. With all the evidence, what excuses do you have? Tell me how you colluded with the Northern Barbarians! Tell me the truth!"

Li Wanyue no longer had time to pretend to be pitiful. She quickly propped herself up and sat up from the bed, anxiously explaining herself.

"I didn't do that. It was definitely not my doing."

As she spoke, she reached out and drew aside the bed curtain, revealing half her hair, and her white inner garment made her figure look even more delicate.

Li Wanyue stood in front of Wang Yi and asked angrily.

"How dare you, you bastard, make such accusations? When did I order you to assassinate His Majesty? Or was it someone who deliberately taught you to say this today? How dare you speak nonsense in front of His Majesty? Tell the truth now."

While cursing, she glanced at Su An intentionally or unintentionally, as if she was hinting at something.

Seeing that she didn't recognize him, Wang Yi became a little anxious.

"Ms. Li, you clearly ordered me to do this. You can't just go back and burn your bridges! Besides, the silver is engraved with your Li family's private seal. Can you fake it?"

Hearing this, Li Wanyue felt something was wrong in her heart, frowned, and continued to ask.

"Silver? How come I don't know? Who gave you the silver?"

As his life was at stake, Wang Yi stood up anxiously and began to search among Li Wanyue's maids.

Finally, his gaze stopped on a maid with her head hung down.

He bent down to take a closer look, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He pointed at the man and shouted.

"It was her. She was the one who gave me the money and said there would be a generous reward after the task was completed. I couldn't resist the temptation and did this stupid thing."

"Yan'er? How is this possible?"

Li Wanyue didn't believe what Wang Yi said at all. She sneered and was about to comfort Yan'er.

But it happened in a flash. Yan'er suddenly looked up, her eyes suddenly became sharp, and she kicked Wang Yi away. Then she quickly pulled out a dagger from her waist and rushed towards Chu Yi.

By the time everyone reacted, Chu Yi had already been pulled in front of her, with a dagger against his neck.

Seeing this, Li Wanyue was so frightened that her legs and feet went limp and she almost fell to the ground.

She looked at Yan'er and shouted anxiously, "Yan'er, what are you doing? Let His Majesty go!"

Unexpectedly, Yan'er just snorted coldly, glanced at her and cursed.

"I worked so hard to create such a good opportunity. They sent so many people, but they couldn't kill this damn emperor. What a bunch of losers! If you don't want your emperor to die, put down your weapons and let me go."

"Otherwise, I will kill him immediately!"

After saying this, as if afraid that others would not believe her, she suddenly tightened her grip on the dagger.

The cold touch suddenly got closer, causing Chu Yi's whole body to tense up and his blood to rush up.

Li Wanyue looked at this scene with a dead heart, and her face was completely drained of color.

It's over, it's completely over now.

Harboring a Northern Hu spy and putting His Majesty in danger is a capital crime punishable by the death of nine generations of your clan!

Jian Yi stared at Yan'er warily, tightly gripping the hilt of the sword at his waist, murderous intent revealed in his eyes.

After realizing it, Yan'er pulled Chu Yi back a step and yelled.

"What? You don't want your emperor to live? Put down your swords and prepare a fast horse for me. I will let him go when I am safe!"

What a joke! How could Chu Yi have a chance of survival if he fell into the hands of the northern barbarians?

Fu Zhun sneered disdainfully, glanced at her with a gloomy look, raised his eyebrows and spoke coldly.

"Really? Do you Northern Hu people think that without him, you can attack Great Chu with impunity? Great Chu has many brave and skilled warriors. Why don't you kill him with a single blow? Come and try!"

Kill him? Why doesn't this guy play by the rules?

Seeing that he didn't care about the hostage in his hands, Yan'er's confidence suddenly became a little lacking, and her eyes showed some panic.

Chu Yi even cursed in his heart.

Sure enough, he had long known that Fu Zhun had rebellious intentions, and today his true colors were finally revealed!

Only Su An saw through Fu Zhun's thoughts. At this moment, she was no longer as lively as before. She just stared at Yan'er with a stagnant mind, silently praying for Fu Zhun in her heart.

But you must succeed, otherwise it will be a serious crime of treason, and no one can bear it!

Fu Zhun narrowed his eyes slightly and lightly tapped the wheelchair while Yan'er was not paying attention.

A steel needle popped out instantly, brushed past the edge of Chu Yi's earlobe, and pierced the center of Yan'er's forehead.

With a clang, the dagger fell to the ground. Yan'er opened her eyes wide and fell straight to the ground.

Blood sprayed on his neck. Chu Yi stiffened in fear and raised his hand to touch his earlobe.

Just a hair's breadth away and the needle would have taken his life.

Fu Zhun is indeed still as ruthless and ruthless as before!

He swallowed, glanced at Fu Zhun, and a sense of fear rose in his heart.

Before everyone could recover from their shock, they suddenly heard Li Wanyue fall to her knees and cry for mercy.

"Your Majesty, please spare me. I had no idea she was a spy for the Northern Hu. She was the one who impersonated me in the assassination. I was truly unaware of it."

"For the sake of our past friendship, Your Majesty, please forgive me this time!"

Chu Yi has always been a suspicious person, and he almost lost his life today. How could he let this matter go easily?
