Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

Perhaps it was because of the joy in my heart that even the wind in the air sounded sweet on the way to the palace gate.

Su An walked leisurely while humming a little tune.

Just as she was about to turn a corner and walk a few dozen steps to reach the palace gate, she suddenly heard a burst of hurried and chaotic footsteps behind her. Moreover, the footsteps were getting closer and closer, heading straight towards her.

Her eyelids twitched slightly, and she subconsciously looked back.

Suddenly, a group of armored guards appeared behind her.

At this moment, the guards all had serious expressions, gripped their spears tightly, and ran quickly towards her.

Could it be that there is another assassin in the palace?

Alas, assassins can enter the palace and assassinate people openly. It seems that the security of this palace is not very good.

Su An didn't take it to heart. He just sighed in his heart and turned his head away.

But what she didn't expect was that the guards behind her walked up to her, but did not move forward. Instead, they scattered and surrounded her.

Now, Su An was a little dumbfounded.

She looked around, sized these people up, frowned, and asked, "No, you caught the wrong person, didn't you?"

"Aren't you Su An? The person we want to catch is Su An, take him away!"

The leader looked down at her with disdain in his eyes, waved his hand, and gave orders in a cold voice.

The next moment, her arms were lifted up by the guards.

Su An was a little anxious. He kicked his legs and shouted at the top of his voice.

"Let me go. I haven't committed any crime. Why are you arresting me? I tell you, I am the fiancée of the King of Zhenbei. If you dare to illegally detain me, he will never forgive you."

At this point, she had no choice but to bring up Fu Zhun's name.

But the leader of the Royal Guards was not afraid at all. Instead, he sneered and warned unhappily:

"The virtuous concubine has been poisoned. There is evidence that you were the one who poisoned her. Even if you are the empress, second only to the emperor, you must submit. I don't care whose fiancée you are. You should save this for the King of Hell."

Having said that, he left first.

The guards also followed him and evacuated in an orderly manner.

No, she hadn't seen Concubine Xian at all in the past few days. What did Concubine Xian's poisoning have to do with her?

"Are you mistaken? How could I be the one who poisoned Concubine Xian? What motive would I have to poison her?"

Su An struggled and questioned them.

But they didn't listen to Su An's explanation at all, and even thought she was too noisy and covered her mouth with a handkerchief.

At the same time, Fu Zhun paced back and forth outside the palace gate, glancing towards the corner from time to time.

It seemed as if Su An would appear in the field of vision jumping in the next moment.

Little did they know that Su An had already been taken to the Sky Prison.

Su An pulled at the cell door and cried out for justice to the jailer who was guarding her.

"Brother, I'm so innocent and kind, how could I possibly poison someone? There must be a misunderstanding. Please be kind and let me go!"

The jailer looked her up and down, then suddenly shook his head and sighed.

"You can't judge a person by appearance, you can't measure the depth of the sea. She looks so beautiful, but I didn't expect her to have such a vicious heart."

He muttered to himself as he hung the key around his waist and walked away.

Su An: ???

She just said goodbye to the Queen Mother and walked for a while, and she became a murderer?

The environment in the sky prison was dark and damp, and the air was filled with a slight smell of blood, even mixed with some musty and rotten smells, which made her retching.

She shook the cell door and shouted outside.

"Is there anyone here? I've been wronged. I want to see His Majesty and ask him about this in person!"

But after shouting for a long time, no one responded to her.

Instead, a young man next door, holding a straw in his mouth, picked his ears, raised his eyelids to glance at her, and advised her calmly.

"I advise you to save your energy. Now that you're here, don't even think about leaving."

"If crying out for justice was effective, wouldn't the prison be empty long ago?"

Su An was choked by his words, and his mood became a little depressed.

Who did she provoke?

Originally, she just wanted to live in Fuyou County, do some small business, and live a stable life as a wealthy woman. But she was brought to the capital for no reason and had to work like a slave for others.

Just when he was about to escape the fate of being a slave, he was accused of an inexplicable crime.

The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt.

She let go of the cell door, squatted on the ground, and hugged her knees helplessly.

The next moment, she curled her lips and tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

I don’t know if Fu Zhun can find her.

Fu Zhun felt a sudden pain in his heart as she muttered this. He tightened his lips, and couldn't help but raise his hands to cover his chest, looking inside with a worried look on his face.

Logically speaking, even if Su An had a lot to say, he should have finished saying it.

But it’s been so long, why hasn’t he come out yet?

Could there be some accident?

Thinking of this, Fu Zhun's heart tightened, he frowned in regret, and quickly walked into the palace to find Su An.

Su An has a business mind and acts unexpectedly. She is a rare talent. Chu Yi has been eyeing her covetously and is unwilling to let her go easily. At this critical moment, he should not listen to Su An and let her go back alone.

But it's too late to regret now.

The most important thing right now is to find Su An as soon as possible.

Fu Zhun hurried to the harem, but learned from the empress dowager that Su An had left the Cining Palace and was not there.

In the entire harem, the only person who could get along well with Su An and had a say was the Queen Mother.

If she is not in Cining Palace, where else could she be?

Fu Zhun was extremely anxious and searched the entire palace like crazy.

Finally, I learned from a eunuch that Su An was actually imprisoned in the Sky Prison.

Hearing this, Fu Zhun felt a surge of blood rushing into his head, pushing him to the brink of rage. He clenched his fists and headed straight for the prison.

Seeing Fu Zhun, the guard at the door drew his sword and pointed it at the door, frowning.

"The Heavenly Prison is a restricted area. No one is allowed to enter without your Majesty's order. Please don't make things difficult for us, Your Majesty!"

"Step aside!"

Fu Zhun narrowed his eyes, and shot them at the two men with a creepy murderous look.

Perhaps frightened by his violent aura, the two men subconsciously swallowed their saliva and turned to look at each other, but due to the emperor's order, they still did not move away and continued to persuade him sternly.

"This is His Majesty's order. If Your Majesty wishes to visit the prisoner, you should first report to His Majesty."

"With your Majesty's badge, we will naturally let the prince in."

Seeing that they were unwilling to let him go easily, Fu Zhun didn't waste any more words with them. He just clenched his fists and released his internal strength.

Before they could react, they were knocked back by the internal force.
