Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

"If you dare to touch my mother again, I will kill you with my own hands!"

Su An couldn't do anything to Chu Yi and could only speak harshly to him helplessly.

But this threat didn't sound painful to Chu Yi. He sneered, clapped his hands, and ordered the people behind him: "Bring the person up to me!"

Soon, Su An saw several guards escorting Li Guihua to the city wall.

Her pupils suddenly contracted, and her hands in her sleeves clenched quietly.

But before she could speak, a familiar and majestic voice came from the city wall.

"Stupid! I'm here today, and I want to see who dares to kill innocent people!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the Queen Mother, dressed in a dark phoenix dress, walked forward with a dignified posture, supported by a nanny, and waved to the people around her.

The guard who was escorting Li Guihua had a knife at his neck and was so scared that he dared not move at all.

Hearing this, Chu Yi turned around, stared at the empress dowager with a dark look in his eyes, and questioned through gritted teeth.

"Why is my mother here? Can't she see? It was the Prince of Zhenbei who led his troops to besiege the capital with the intention of rebellion. I am only doing this to protect the Great Chu Empire. Could it be that even my mother is going to betray me?"

The Queen Mother shook her head in disappointment and sighed coldly.

"All of this is a debt owed by Your Majesty, and it is time to repay it."

"Your Majesty was suspicious of the Prince of Zhenbei first, causing him to suffer from leg diseases and spend his days in a wheelchair. Later, he kidnapped the Prince of Zhenbei's fiancée, intending to break the contract and force her into the palace. Each of these actions is too absurd. It's no wonder that the Prince of Zhenbei led his troops to besiege the city!"

As she spoke, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"Your Majesty, it's time for you to wake up, lay down your weapons and surrender!"

"Sit down and have a good chat with the King of Zhenbei. Perhaps the King of Zhenbei will forgive Your Majesty for the sake of our past friendship and give Your Majesty another chance to reform."

Seeing that the Queen Mother was speaking for Fu Zhun, the string in Chu Yi's heart completely broke.

He opened his arms and laughed heartily with bloodshot eyes.

"I am the Emperor of Great Chu. My words are my deeds. How could I be wrong? It's you and him who are wrong. You are traitors and rebels. You both deserve to be killed!"

When he got excited, he waved his hands and shouted harshly at the guards around him.

"What are you all still standing there for? There are traitors right in front of us, why don't you go and kill them immediately!"

After hearing this, everyone reacted and stepped forward.

But the Queen Mother had already taken control of the power in the palace. Seeing this, she quickly took a step back and gave the same instructions to the guards behind her.

"Your Majesty has gone mad now, stop them for me!"

Seeing that the battle was about to break out, Brigadier General Fu took Su An away from the tower and handed her to the deputy general beside him, and carefully instructed: "Take good care of Miss Su and don't let her get hurt."

Then, he raised the spear in his hand, used his inner strength to spread the sound, and said in a deep voice:

"All troops, listen to my orders. Follow me to attack, eliminate the tyrant, and protect the Queen Mother!"

After saying this, he tiptoed onto the ground and jumped towards the city gate. On the way, he climbed up the city wall a few times and rushed directly onto the city wall.

The soldiers behind him also carried ladders, placed them on the city wall, and scrambled to climb up.

Suddenly, the scene was in chaos.

Su An stared at Fu Zhun's figure nervously, fearing that something might go wrong with him.

The archers on the city wall also panicked and drew their bows and arrows, shooting the soldiers who tried to climb up the city wall.

But Fu Jun could fight ten with one man, as if he was in an empty space, and wherever his sword pointed, all the enemy troops were frightened.

Under the double attack of Fu Zhun and the Queen Mother, the defenders on the city wall saw that the situation was not good and became frightened. They dared not fight anymore and dropped their weapons and made gestures of surrender.

Seeing this, Chu Yi's face turned pale and he roared, "You traitors, how dare you turn against us in the middle of a battle! Come on, come on, kill these traitors! Anyone who deserts the battlefield will be killed without mercy. Don't you want to live anymore?"

But his roar seemed pale and powerless in the chaos.

Seeing that the battle situation was declining, Chu Yi's eyes finally showed a moment of panic. Taking advantage of the chaos around him, he stumbled towards the direction of the palace.

He ran all the way to the entrance of the secret passage and was about to push open the secret door and escape.

At the critical moment, a cold spear was pressed against his neck.

His heart suddenly jumped, and he turned his head slightly, only then did he see Fu Zhun standing beside him.

At this moment, if Fu Zhun exerted a little force, he would take his life.

The Queen Mother followed closely behind and hurried over.

"Where are you going, Your Majesty?"

Fu Zhun raised his eyebrows and sneered sarcastically.

At the same time, the spear in his hand moved forward an inch, and the sharp blade was close to his neck. The biting cold made Chu Yi's body suddenly stiffen, and he dared not move at all.

He couldn't help swallowing, forcing a smile, and said in a trembling voice.

"Uncle, all my mistakes are mine. I was wrong before, and I know I was wrong now. You watched me grow up, how could you have the heart to kill me? Please give me another chance, uncle. I will definitely change for the better!"

But these words did not arouse any sympathy in Fu Zhun's ears.

He looked at Chu Yi coldly, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Chance? For the sake of the late emperor, I have given you many chances, but you have repeatedly pressed your limits. Now that you have done so many evil things, you still dream of asking for forgiveness?"

As he spoke, he snorted disdainfully and continued.

"Even if I am willing to spare you today, I'm afraid the tens of millions of soldiers behind me won't agree!"

The end was inevitable. Chu Yi was so scared that his face turned pale. Sweat kept dripping down his forehead and his legs began to tremble involuntarily.

A complex emotion flashed in the eyes of the empress dowager standing behind Fu Zhun. Suddenly, her legs and feet went weak and she pretended to faint.

The nanny beside her quickly supported the empress dowager and spoke in a concerned voice, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Please don't scare me! Someone, go get the imperial physician!"

No matter what, the Queen Mother did help me.

Now that the Queen Mother is in trouble, Fu Zhun naturally cannot sit idly by.

Hearing the noise behind him, he subconsciously turned around to check on the Queen Mother.

Seeing that his attention was not on him, Chu Yi's expression darkened. He took the opportunity to push away the spear, turned around and rushed into the secret passage, disappearing into the darkness.

By the time Fu Zhun responded, Chu Yi had already disappeared.

The Queen Mother then slowly opened her eyes and stood up straight.

At this point, how could Fu Zhun not understand?

The Queen Mother was obviously pretending to be unconscious on purpose to give Chu Yi a chance to escape.

He retracted the spear in his hand, turned around, and stared coldly at the Queen Mother, his eyes flashing with a cold light. He said in a stern tone, "The Queen Mother really has good intentions. The tyrant emperor has betrayed the moral code, and you are still trying so hard to protect him. Are you trying to help him commit atrocities?"
