Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

Zhou Li didn't dare to delay and could only rush to prepare the carriage. Xie Qingfeng began to concentrate on using silver needles to suppress the poison for Su An.

Fu Zhun pushed the wheelchair out of the house. In the yard, County Magistrate Lin Yong had been waiting anxiously for a long time.

When they saw him come out, they stepped forward and kowtowed with great respect.

"This humble official has met the Prince of Zhenbei. I didn't know the prince's identity and have offended him. This humble official deserves death!"

Unlike when he faced Zhou Li, Lin Yong felt a mixture of deep awe and fear towards the rumored King of Zhenbei, and his square face was covered with sweat.

He could never have imagined that the King of Zhenbei, who had become famous at a young age and had made great achievements, would be imprisoned in this way by a mere county magistrate like him!

He actually imprisoned a national hero!

Lin Yong wanted to slap himself hard.

Fu Zhun's brows furrowed as he said coldly, "Get up. I will be heading to Baiyujing immediately. During this time, you must not reveal my identity. Everything remains the same."

"Yes, yes!" Lin Yong wiped the sweat from his forehead in panic, not daring to ask more questions.

"Remember to protect the girl in the house. Don't allow any loss, otherwise—"

Fu Zhun looked deeply into the room with his dark eyes and said no more. However, the coldness and solemnity emanating from his body were chilling.

Lin Yong was even more frightened, and watched with even greater admiration as Fu Zhun boarded the carriage and the group sped away.

Then he secretly wondered what the relationship between Miss Su An in the room and the prince was?

……

Su An didn't know how long he had slept. He woke up with a sore back. When he moved a little, he gasped because of the tearing pain in his shoulder.

"Where is this?"

I looked around blankly. It was a strange house with simple furnishings. The door was still open, letting in sunlight.

It looked like noon.

Su An's heart skipped a beat. He stood up with a pale face and walked outside. What he saw was also an unfamiliar small house.

Fortunately, I saw two acquaintances, Zhou Li and Xie Qingfeng, who were eating at the stone table.

"Young boss, you're finally awake!" Zhou Li spotted her at a glance and stretched out his hand to greet her with great joy. His expression looked no different from usual.

Xie Qingfeng glanced at her indifferently, raised his eyebrows in displeasure and said, "You're walking around right after you woke up. Are you dissatisfied with your injuries healing too slowly?"

Su An choked slightly and didn't respond in a hurry. His eyes looked around the yard anxiously.

Now that he had been rescued, what about Fu Zhun? The two of them were in the yard, but there was no sign of Fu Zhun.

Thinking about it, Su An asked in a hoarse voice: "Where is Master Fu? Is he injured?"

When Zhou Li heard the question, his eyes flickered and he was organizing his words.

Xie Qingfeng casually took a bite of rice and spoke bluntly: "You are poisoned and dying. The master went to find an antidote for you and has been gone for three days."

what? !

Su An was stunned for a moment, his mind spinning and he couldn't react.

She was in a coma for three whole days, and she was still going to die?!

"Oh, you bastard!"

Zhou Li grabbed Xie Qingfeng fiercely and said, "Is there anyone who speaks so bluntly as you?"

Aren’t you trying to scare people to death?

He blocked in front of Xie Qingfeng, and seeing Su An's body shaky, he was frightened and quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, little boss, the poison will not spread for another three months, you will definitely not die in the near future!"

Su An: "..."

The difference between dying now and dying three months later is how much happier she can live?

As if to remind her that she would not live long, she had not stood for long when she felt a gnawing pain in her limbs and bones. Her heart seemed to be slowly strangled by an invisible hand, and her breathing became increasingly difficult.

Su An's face was as pale as paper, and he had to squat down to calm down.

"Young boss!" Zhou Li's face darkened when he saw this, and he hurriedly helped her to sit on the stone bench.

To be honest, he felt both grateful and guilty towards Su An. If it weren't for Su An, it would have been his prince who was poisoned.

Moreover, Su An was simply implicated and suffered an unexpected disaster.

Zhou Li felt upset and tried to comfort him as much as possible, saying, "Young boss, you must trust the master. He would hate to see you die. He will get the antidote and come back to save you soon!"

"It's easy for you to say. Do you think that place is a street in the city that you can enter and exit casually?" Xie Qingfeng sneered implicitly and looked at Su An. Thinking of the favor of eating a meal in the past, he thought he was kind enough to remind him.

"I never lie. If the situation is optimistic, it will take three months. If the poison backfires and I can't suppress it, you will die faster. It depends on whether the master can return with a life-saving straw. But I advise you to be mentally prepared."

Su An listened in a daze.

She naturally knew that Xie Qingfeng would not joke, and because of this, she was even more frightened, and an indescribable sadness welled up in her heart.

"I've just started to live a good life, and now... it's going to be gone?"

Su An pursed his lips and sighed deeply. Zhou Li and Xie Qingfeng looked at each other and tacitly kept silent.

When it comes to matters of life and death, who can predict the outcome?

"Miss Suan."

At this time, Lin Yong came in from outside. As usual, he visited Su An every day. When he saw Su An wake up, he called out politely.

Noticing the somewhat silent atmosphere among the group, he frowned, bowed to Su An and said, "The young lady has finally woken up. I was not careful in my defense and let Miss Su An be stabbed by the thieves in the prison. I feel really guilty about that. These are some apologies."

After saying that, Lin Yong placed the packets of tonic he was carrying on the table.

Su An nodded weakly. He was about to die. What was the use of taking more supplements?

Ugh!

"However," Lin Yong changed his tone and looked at Su An with an iron face and said, "Since Miss Su's crime has not yet been investigated, she will need to continue to be kept in prison after her injuries have healed."

Hearing this, Su An's mouth twitched in a helpless laughter, and he didn't have the energy to refute.

Good, what a good judge! She admires him.

"I understand. Go away now. I don't want to see you!" Zhou Li looked at his future princess with heartache and waved his hand to drive her away.

The prince is really something. Before leaving, he didn’t even let Lin Yong, this old-fashioned man, change his temper. It makes me angry just by looking at him!

Lin Yong couldn't care less and just said, "Oh, a family just arrived outside. They are Miss Su's family. Since Miss Su is awake, I will let them pass."

Hearing this, Su An's eyes lit up and he finally perked up a little, "Hurry up, let them in!"

Not long after Lin Yong left, Li Guihua and three little kids came into the yard with their heads around.

When they saw Su An in the yard, the whole family's eyes suddenly turned red and they rushed over.

"Xiao An, what did you do wrong to be placed under house arrest by the county magistrate? Tell your mother quickly!" Li Guihua's voice was choked with sobs, and her eyes were red. It was obvious that she had been up all night.

Su An was relieved at this point. It seemed that the whole story of how he was imprisoned had been concealed.

Her eyes turned and she put on her usual smile.
