The reborn poisonous woman is hard to abandon

Chapter 226
Time passed by every minute, and any slight noise outside the room made Xiao Ruan feel frightened.

Her eyes searched all over the room, and she was almost angry with anxiety.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside, as if a guard was running towards here.

Heartbroken, Xiao Ruan hurriedly walked to the door, leaned on the door and looked outside.

Through the gap in the door, Xiao Ruan suddenly discovered that Zhao Yan had sent dozens of guards to guard him outside the door, and in the dark night in the distance, it seemed that someone was holding a torch to illuminate the courtyard in the distance. Bright.

Tapping the carvings on the door with her fingers, Xiao Ruan had a flash of inspiration in her head, and immediately realized that someone must have come here to look for her.

Surprise flashed in his eyes, and Xiao Ruan immediately slammed on the door: "You guys release me soon! I want to go out!"

……

"Open the door!"

In the stillness of the night, the door of a certain high gate compound was suddenly slammed heavily, the sound echoed in the night, bringing out a bit of tension for no reason, making people panic.

"Who are you? How dare you break into His Highness Duke Huai's courtyard to make trouble?"

The courtyard door knocked for a long time, but he still refused to open the door.

At the end, a man dressed in a navy blue blessing pattern, a man dressed as a butler, finally came to the door unbearably disturbed, yawned, and shouted at the people outside in an extremely arrogant voice.

"This general was ordered by the emperor to search the entire capital. General Huai Palace has already searched, so why can't this small Huai Palace be searched? Open the door quickly!"

As soon as the steward's voice fell, he suddenly heard someone outside claiming to be the general, and hurried to the door to peek.

When he saw this, he was shocked to find that there were hundreds of soldiers standing outside in unison, holding torches in their hands.The tall man at the head was Huo Xun, the great general who was enshrined as Marquis of Dingguo at that time.

"Open the door and let him in."

The butler didn't know how to respond, when a clear voice suddenly came from behind.He hurriedly turned his head to salute that person, replied respectfully, and immediately asked someone to open the courtyard door.

"It turns out that this place is really the other courtyard of His Highness Duke Huai. Since His Highness Duke Huai is also here, please cooperate with this general in handling the case."

"Handle the case? General Huo is joking, you are not an official of Jing Zhaoyin, how can you handle the case?"

Under the bright torch, a strange color flashed in Zhao Yan's eyes, and he looked straight at Huo Xun, pretending to be extremely surprised.

"His Royal Highness Huai is so suspicious. Could it be that he doesn't trust the emperor? There are thieves in Beijing, and the emperor ordered an overnight search. Please cooperate with His Royal Highness Huai."

Huo Xun looked through Zhao Yan and looked at the courtyard behind her that was plunged into darkness, feeling anxious.

Today he was called into the palace by the emperor, and he spent the whole day discussing the important affairs of the court, but King Jingnan rushed to the emperor anxiously, looking for him.

When he heard the news that Xiao Ruan had disappeared in the Nanjing Palace, he immediately panicked and asked the emperor to search in Beijing immediately to find Xiao Ruan's whereabouts.

However, since he learned of Xiao Ruan's disappearance, he has searched the capital, but there is still no clue about Xiao Ruan.

At this time, Huo Xun was not in the mood to talk too much with Zhao Yan, he just wanted to bring someone in as soon as possible to see if there was anything strange inside.

"Since the general is in the name of the father, the king will naturally cooperate well, and the general will come in and search."

But seeing that Zhao Yan really didn't stop him, Huo Xun waved his hand, and Li Yan immediately led a pair of people into the inner courtyard.

"Lord Huo, I don't know what kind of thieves have appeared in this capital. Why hasn't my king heard about it?"

The torches were brightly lit, and the faces of the crowd shone with flames. The butler moved a seat for Zhao Yan.After Zhao Yan sat down, he looked at Huo Xun on the opposite side for a long time, and suddenly asked.

With a doubtful voice echoing in the quiet courtyard below, Huo Xun turned his eyebrows, looked at Ye Wan for a moment, and said coldly: "My lord, the emperor must have his reasons if you don't say it. If you have to ask me, I can only Say I don't know."

"you!"

Unexpectedly, Huo Xun would talk to himself with this attitude, Zhao Yan was annoyed and was about to speak, but suddenly he seemed to remember something, turned his eyes away and did not speak again.

And Huo Xun looked at the passage in the inner courtyard with a solemn expression, as if he didn't notice the change on Zhao Yan's face.

The two of them were in an antagonistic relationship, and what Huo Xun was most concerned about now was whether he had any clues about Xiao Ruan, and he was in no mood to perfunctory with Zhao Yan at all.

"General, we haven't found any suspicious clues."

After a stick of incense, Li Yan returned to Huo Xun immediately after coming out of You Wish with a pair of hands, and Huo Xun frowned immediately.

"General Huo, go slowly, I won't see you off."

Hearing Li Yan's words, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Yan's mouth. He had expected such a result a long time ago, so he didn't worry about Huo Xun coming here to search.

After talking to Huo Xun with a long tone, Zhao Yan was about to get up and leave, but someone suddenly pointed behind him and showed a surprised expression.

"My lord, it's bad, there's water in our yard!"

Zhao Yan stood up for a while, turned his head and glanced at the direction of the water, his face changed drastically, and someone immediately urged Huo Xun to leave.

In Huo Xun's impression, Zhao Yan had always looked calm and breezy, even if Xiao Ruan refused to propose marriage in front of civil and military officials, he still did not show his appearance.

Now it was just that the house was leaking, but he was so panicked that Huo Xun felt very curious about what Zhao Yan was doing in the other courtyard tonight.

"The prince's mansion is flooded, why don't we leave some people to help?"

Zhao Yan was about to rush to the backyard, when he suddenly heard Huo Xun's voice, he refused immediately.

"General, the yard is locked, and the housekeeper said that no one lives there. It's really strange that the water suddenly came out."

Just as Zhao Yan left here, Li Yan suddenly opened his mouth. Huo Xun stared at Zhao Yan's hurriedly leaving figure, his eyes suddenly focused: "Follow me right away!"

……

As soon as Huo Xun walked to the courtyard where the water was flowing, he saw that the courtyard was full of smoke.It was clearly after the fire broke out that it led to flooding in the courtyard.While Huo Xun was looking around, he suddenly heard a woman calling for help.

The voice was so familiar that Huo Xun was so startled that he didn't bother to question Zhao Yan, so he rushed directly into the courtyard surrounded by flames.

A group of guards in the yard were busy carrying water to put out the fire, but the fire had already risen, and the speed of everyone's extinguishing the fire could not keep up with the speed of the fire's spread.

"Huo Xun! I'm here!"

Flames danced around, and the people inside seemed to hear Huo Xun's voice shouting his name.

When Huo Xun escaped the broken beam and found Xiao Ruan, she was coughing due to the thick smoke in the room, holding a bench in her hand, and was struggling to smash the window.

Huo Xun was shocked, and hurriedly held her in his arms.

"Ruan'er, how are you? Are you injured?"

Nervously looking at Xiao Ruan, Huo Xun found that Xiao Ruan didn't even have the strength to speak at this time, so he immediately picked her up by the waist and rushed out quickly.

"Your Highness Duke Huai, please give me an explanation as to why my wife was locked up in your other courtyard!"

Huo Xun rushed out of the fire house with Xiao Ruan in his arms, just as he ran into Zhao Yan who was chasing up hurriedly, he roared angrily at him, Huo Xun wished to fight with this person, and ruthlessly vented his turbidity in his heart.

In the flames, the worry and panic on Zhao Yan's face was no less than that of Huo Xun, and he even wanted to snatch Xiao Ruan from Huo Xun.

He never thought that Xiao Ruan would be trapped in the sea of ​​flames and unable to get out after he had only left for half an hour.

Xiao Ruan's head was buried in Huo Xun's arms, and for a moment she couldn't see how her injury was. Zhao Yan was anxious: "How are you, Ruan Er! Can you hear me?"

"Could it be that you want to burn Ruan'er alive? Stop pretending in front of me!"

Huo Xun uttered angrily, and wanted to have a good argument with Zhao Yan, when the woman in his arms suddenly reached out and squeezed his arm, shaking his head slightly.

"Sir, take me out of here."

Xiao Ruan's voice was hoarse and choked, like the sound of sawing wood.She rubbed her head into Huo Xun's arms, as if she didn't want to see Zhao Yan at all.

Seeing this, Huo Xun had no choice but to give Zhao Yan a hard look, and left with anger all over his body.

"Ruaner!"

Zhao Yan stared blankly at the backs of the two leaving, and the sound of "Xianggong" kept circling in her mind.

Looking back at the burning house again, Zhao Yan clenched his fists, and a sternness suddenly flashed in his red eyes that were reflected.

"Drag out all the people who guarded the yard just now and kill them!"

For the people in Dingguo Houfu, this night is destined to be a sleepless night.

The entire Hou Mansion was brightly lit, and everyone nervously followed Xiao Ruan's movements in the Hexiangyuan.All the maids and servants walking in the Lotus Fragrance Courtyard all spoke softly, for fear of disturbing Xiao Ruan in the room by making too much noise.

"Brother Lin, how is Ruan'er doing?"

Huo Xun stared anxiously at Lin Tianqi's hand to diagnose Xiao Ruan's pulse, his eyes were full of distress.

Before, he and Xiao Ruan had expected that the future would not be too smooth, but they never expected that Xiao Ruan would disappear quietly in Jingnan Palace.

This incident happened so suddenly, when Huo Xun thought that Xiao Ruan was about to be burned alive in Zhao Yan's other courtyard, a monstrous anger kept churning in his heart.

If Xiao Ruan hadn't passed out at this time, he would have turned back and fought Zhao Yan to the death.

"You don't have to worry too much, the general, but Madam must have taken some medicine and her fetus has moved again, so she needs to rest for a while."

After Lin Tianqi checked the pulse, he took off the handkerchief covering Xiao Ruan's wrist, and he didn't realize that there was a hint of worry on his face.

Just from what he saw and heard in Hou's mansion during this period, it can be seen that there are not a few people who harbor malicious intentions towards Huo Xun and Xiao Ruan.

If Xiao Ruan went through such troubles a few more times, he was really worried that the child in her belly would be lost.

"Brother Lin, can you really see what kind of medicine I was given?"

Just as Lin Tianqi Sou Hengyin landed, he suddenly heard Xiao Ruan's voice, and only then did he realize that Xiao Ruan had woken up.

Nodding with her, Lin Tianqi's tone was very affirmative: "Although Madam took the antidote in time, you can still see some clues from the pulse."
