Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

Break your promise?

Hearing Su An's careless blame, Chu Yi was not annoyed at all. He raised his eyebrows and walked closer with steady steps.

"When have I ever broken my promise? Now I have handed over full authority over the affairs of the harem to you. Isn't this enough power?"

This made Su An laugh out of anger.

Female officials and concubines are clearly two different things. I don’t know what’s wrong with Chu Yi’s brain.

During this period, Chu Yi first approached her deliberately and let her live in a shop, and then sent someone to send her to his bed with the intention of ruining her reputation. Now he has gone to great lengths to abduct her into the palace and make her his concubine.

What on earth does he want to do?

Su An stared at Chu Yi calmly for a long time, then suddenly sighed and asked.

"I am just an ordinary country girl. Why is Your Majesty so obsessed with me?"

"If Your Majesty intends to keep me by your side so that I can manage the affairs of the harem, then I'm afraid you've miscalculated. My cleverness may be useful in business, but it's useless in the palace. I've lived in the countryside since I was a child and am simply not suited to palace life."

As she spoke, she rubbed her hair irritably, feeling a sense of powerlessness rising in her heart.

But Chu Yi remained unmoved after hearing this. He still had a deep look in his eyes and took a leisurely step forward.

Before Su An could react, he raised his hand and gently tucked the loose hair on her temples behind her ears. He then slid it down and gently stroked her pink earlobe. He leaned close to her ear and chuckled softly.

"Because I want everything that my uncle has."

The sudden touch made Su An's body stiffen.

No wonder he was able to get together with Li Wanyue secretly. It turns out that he is just a pervert who simply likes married women.

She felt a chill in her heart, and subconsciously swung her hand to knock Chu Yi's hand away, then took a step back.

"I've never been anyone's property. I'm just me. Don't confuse me with other objects. Besides, everyone in this world is unique and owns something different. Do you think you're going to steal everything?"

As she spoke, her eyes became strange.

After looking at Chu Yi for a long time, Su An shook his head and sighed, then analyzed the situation to him seriously.

"You always think that other people's things are good. This must be a serious mental illness. And it seems to be quite serious. You need treatment, and proper treatment."

As Su An spoke, he raised his hand to stroke his chin and circled around Chu Yi to observe him.

Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes became indescribable.

What he said was even more shocking.

"I understand. You care so much about Fu Zhun. Could it be that you like him? Because you like him, that's why you always want to steal his things and attract his attention."

The more she analyzed it, the more reasonable it seemed to her.

Oh my god, such a yandere love, I’m hooked!

Fu Hai, who was standing by, blushed when he heard this. He glared at her unhappily and muttered to himself.

Ridiculous, really ridiculous!

Your Majesty and the Prince of Zhenbei are both men. In this world, there has always been only love between men and women. How could men fall in love with each other? It's simply unheard of and absurd!

Even Chu Yi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

After realizing what was happening, he couldn't help but laugh helplessly.

Although he knew that Su An had strange ideas, he didn't expect her ideas to be so outrageous.

Before he could reply, he heard footsteps approaching.

Everyone looked back and saw Fu Zhun with a sullen face and a hint of displeasure between his brows as he walked to Su An's side.

He gently grasped Su An's wrist and pulled her behind him. He glanced at Chu Yi indifferently and said in a cold tone, "My fiancée has now completed all the tasks assigned by His Majesty. I have come to take her out of the palace as agreed."

Hearing this, Chu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he curled his lips nonchalantly.

"What if I resolutely refuse to release him? Will the Emperor's uncle force me to abdicate?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became tense.

Su An's heart was in his throat, fearing that Fu Zhun would fall into Chu Yi's trap and say something outrageous, which would then lead to criticism from others.

She subconsciously stuck her head out from behind Fu Zhun and wanted to speak in defense.

But Fu Zhun slapped him back.

He raised his eyebrows and glanced at Chu Yi out of the corner of his eye. His tone was flat but quite intimidating.

"If Your Majesty resolutely refuses to release them, then you would be betraying your royal virtues and unworthy of the throne. This king wouldn't mind helping the people of Dawn to eliminate the tyrant and restore order."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

After a moment's silence, Chu Yi finally chuckled and laughed.

"I am very pleased that the Great Chu has the support of the Emperor's uncle! Don't worry, my uncle has taught me since I was young, so how could I not know the principle that a gentleman should always keep his word? I was just joking with Miss Su just now, please don't mind it!"

"Even so, I will take her away first."

Fu Zhun didn't stay for a moment, turned around and was about to leave with Su An.

Chu Yi's faint voice came from behind.

"Before leaving, Uncle Emperor should take Miss Su to the Cining Palace to say goodbye to the Empress Dowager. After all, the Empress Dowager likes Miss Su very much. If you leave without saying goodbye, I'm afraid it will hurt her heart."

Elderly people...

The empress dowager is only in her twenties, not much older than this damn emperor, so how can she be considered an old lady?

Su An was speechless.

However, thinking about it carefully, she did stay in the Cining Palace for some time. It was reasonable for her to say goodbye to the Empress Dowager when she left.

As he watched their backs completely disappear from his sight, the smile on Chu Yi's face gradually faded, and he raised his eyebrows and clicked his tongue softly.

"Fu Hai, do you think the Emperor's uncle hasn't been this nervous for a long time?"

Hearing this, Fu Hai bent his body deeper and nodded in response.

"Yes, ever since his leg injury, the prince has been very serious. I have never seen him so nervous around anyone."

In Cining Palace.

"Are you really leaving? Can't you stay a little longer to accompany me?"

The Queen Mother stared at Su An with regret and held her hand tightly.

But because of the incident at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Su An's image of her has been greatly damaged, and she can't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

She gently pulled her hand back and forced a smile.

"I, a commoner, do not belong in the Imperial Palace. It is only a matter of time before I leave. Your Majesty, there is no need to be sad about this. There will surely be other interesting people in this Palace in the future."

A complex emotion flashed across the Queen Mother's eyes, and she finally nodded and relaxed.

"Okay, since you've made up your mind, I won't stay any longer. Be careful on the road."

After all, the harem was where the female members of the family lived, so it was inconvenient for Fu Zhun to come along. Su An persuaded him repeatedly before finally getting him to go to the palace gate and asking him to wait for her there.

After bidding farewell to the Queen Mother, Su An packed up briefly and then hurried to the palace gate to meet Fu Zhun.
