Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

Su An rolled his eyes silently, touched the tip of his nose with a smile, and said sarcastically:

"Forced? But didn't Miss Li use the Wanpin status to pressure me just now? I think Miss Li seems to be very satisfied with the Wanpin status. It doesn't seem like she was forced at all."

As she spoke, she shrugged and looked at Li Wanyue innocently.

Li Wanyue felt embarrassed when she was exposed in front of Fu Zhun. A slight blush appeared on her face and she explained anxiously.

"That's not the case. I made this choice for the good of the prince. The emperor wanted me to use the child in my belly to frame the prince. I couldn't bear to see the prince's reputation tarnished, so I had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure."

Selflessness, what a great speech.

Su An smacked his tongue, amazed in his heart.

As she said this, Li Wanyue herself was almost moved by these words. She raised her eyes lovingly again and stared at Fu Zhun.

But Fu Zhun's answer almost made her fail.

"Stop pretending! It's because I'm smart that your tricks didn't work!"

Fu Zhun's face showed a hint of disgust, and he frowned and retorted.

Li Wanyue was speechless, her face turned pale, and her hands clenched her sleeves nervously.

She looked so soft, as if she would faint at any moment.

But Fu Zhun didn't notice it at all. Instead, he seemed to be afraid that Su An would misunderstand, so he quickly turned around and explained to her.

"She did come into my room that day, but I assure you, nothing happened between us. I had An Yi throw her out as soon as she came in. I didn't even touch the corner of her clothes."

Seeing him so nervous, Su An felt a warm feeling in his heart and raised his lips in response.

"Actually, you don't have to explain it to me. I believe you."

A good horse never turns back.

What's more, not only did Li Wanyue stab him in the back, she also had an affair with his mortal enemy. According to his personality, it is impossible for him to have any involvement with Li Wanyue again.

"Oh, by the way, I heard that the fetus in this womb is extremely fragile. Wanpin is not recuperating in the palace, but is wandering around. If anything goes wrong with the heir, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Wanpin to explain to the Empress Dowager and His Majesty!"

Su An raised his eyebrows and looked at her belly meaningfully.

Almost subconsciously, Li Wanyue raised her hand to cover her lower abdomen and looked at her warily.

Now that things have come to this, it is impossible for her and Fu Zhun to be together.

This child is her only way out right now, and there must be no mistakes.

Li Wanyue forced a dry smile and bowed towards Fu Zhun.

"Your Highness, please take care of yourself. Wan'er is feeling unwell, so I'll take my leave now."

After saying this, she slowly left with the help of the palace maid.

Without Li Wanyue's presence to bother him, Su An felt that even the air was a little fresher.

Just now, I was so focused on the battle of wits and courage that I didn't notice that there was a garden full of various flowers not far away. There was a plaque hanging in the square of the garden entrance with the three big words "Imperial Garden" shining brightly on it.

Noticing her gaze, Fu Zhun raised his lips slightly and opened his mouth for invitation.

"I heard that the flowers in the Imperial Garden are in full bloom these days. Since we're here, why don't we go take a look together?"

"Okay!"

This was exactly what Su An wanted, so she agreed without hesitation.

The two walked side by side into the imperial garden.

The flowers in the yard are competing for beauty, and occasionally bees linger among them. The fragrance of various flowers mixed together and drilled straight into the nose, making people feel refreshed and relaxed unconsciously.

If you think about it carefully, isn't this harem also Chu Yi's back garden?

The concubines in the harem are like the flowers in the imperial garden, fighting for favor only to please Chu Yi.

It’s a pity that these flowers bloom so beautifully but can only be confined to the imperial garden.

Thinking of this, Su An couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The face of Concubine Xian suddenly flashed through her mind, and then she remembered the important matter and asked Fu Zhun in confusion.

"By the way, today in the Cining Palace, Consort Xian seemed quite hostile towards me. However, this was my first time in the palace, and I shouldn't have offended her. Do you know why?"

Hearing this, Fu Zhun was slightly stunned and searched his mind for a long time before he remembered.

Speaking of this matter, it was really him who implicated her.

Fu Zhun smiled bitterly and nodded, with some apology in his eyes, and replied with pursed lips:

"I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble. I removed her brother from his official position and demoted him to a commoner. But don't worry, I will handle this matter and won't give her the chance to make things difficult for you again."

Su An curled his lips and nodded in understanding.

No wonder Concubine Xian hated her so much, it turns out there was this relationship.

But speaking of making things difficult for her, if nothing unexpected happens, she will only enter the palace this once. Even if the virtuous concubine intends to make things difficult for her in the future, I'm afraid she won't have the chance!

But the next moment, Su An was a little dumbfounded.

After walking around the flowers nearby, they saw a graceful and elegant woman, supported by a palace maid, walking towards them with a gloomy expression on her face.

This person is none other than Concubine Xian.

I met the virtuous concubine while strolling in the garden. It's really a narrow road for enemies to meet.

Su An subconsciously took a step back and hid behind Fu Zhun.

It's not that she is cowardly, but the palace is full of powerful people, and she is just a commoner. Even if she wants to fight back, she can't beat them.

Instead of forcing it, it would be better to let Fu Zhun handle it.

Fu Zhun also took a step forward very tactfully, using his body to block Su An completely.

I saw Concubine Xian staring at Fu Zhun with anger on her face, and her tone was full of hostility as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Prince Zhenbei, even if my brother has acted a little impolitely, it's just a minor mistake. He can reform in the future. I wonder when did I offend you that you're so fussy about it?"

Fu Zhun raised his eyebrows, sneered, and stared directly at Concubine Xian.

"Does the virtuous concubine really think these are just minor offenses? He used her name to embezzle and accept bribes, and robbed property. The people are suffering terribly. I have spared him out of respect for her and His Majesty. How dare you, the virtuous concubine, question me!"

"But then again, since Concubine Xian is so protective of him, could it be that she was behind all of this, or is it that she knew what he was doing and deliberately condoned it? If that's the case, then I will have to reconsider the charges!"

These words successfully frightened Concubine Xian so much that her face turned pale and she almost fell to the ground.

How could she not know what kind of character her brother is?

If all those mistakes were really put on her, then she would be finished. It is true that she feels pity for her brother, but to her, nothing is more important than her own future.

The virtuous concubine pretended to be angry and spoke in a nervous voice.

"Really? So he did so many wicked things behind my back. If it weren't for your explanation, I would have been nearly deceived by this bastard. I'm sorry if I've offended you. Please forgive me."

This face changes so quickly!

Su An quietly poked his head out from behind Fu Zhun and sighed with the click of his tongue.
