The reborn poisonous woman is hard to abandon

Chapter 263

The night was thin, and the bright moon hung in mid-air, exuding a quiet light.

After Xiao Ruan and Huo Xun came out of the palace, they didn't take a carriage. They walked arm in arm on the empty street. The cold wind was blowing from the right, just blocked by Huo Xun's tall figure.

Huo Xun's palms were dry and warm, Xiao Ruan could smell the familiar grass-like fragrance on his body, and looked up at Huo Xun's sharp profile, she suddenly felt a sense of passing away.

I still remember the last time I walked leisurely on the street with Huo Xun like this, it seemed to be the Qixi Festival last year.

During this period of time, many things have happened, but fortunately everything is moving in a good direction.

After tonight, Duanmuhao will take Huo Yixuan to North Jiang Country, and Duanmuyao and Xiao Zhongheng will get married in the spring of next year.As for Xiao Ying, who had always been against her, gave birth to a stillborn baby and was left out in the cold by Zhao Yan, she could no longer be more expensive than a mother.

Compared with the previous life, everything in this life is so precious that she often has an illusion of unreality.

"But you're tired? I'll ask someone to find a carriage."

Xiao Ruan was caught in the memory, thinking carefully about the difference between the two of them from before, when he suddenly heard the voices of concern from the people around him, he unconsciously stepped out of his thoughts.

"It's okay, the two of us haven't walked together like this for a long time."

Looking back at the guards and maids following them not far away, Xiao Ruan shook his head.Then he got closer to Huo Xun, and when he heard a chuckle from above his head, his face suddenly became hot.

"Since Ruan'er wants to go for a walk, I will accompany you well as my husband."

Aware of the small movements of the woman beside him, Huo Xun's eyes flashed with pity, and he immediately tightened Xiao Ruan's hand.

The night was like a natural protective layer, Xiao Ruan walked forward tightly against Huo Xun's body, suddenly he felt the footsteps of the people around him stop, and there was a sharp sound in the air, and then he was hugged by Huo Xun and turned around lock up.

"Who come out!"

Huo Xun protected Xiao Ruan from a hidden weapon, when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the eaves, he raised his head to look, and saw several black figures fleeing from Ou Cong under the shadow of the moon.

With his eyes fixed, Huo Xun immediately frowned, and said in a low voice to the people who followed behind him: "Li Yun, you guys stay here to protect Madam, Li Yan and I will chase the assassin!"

After saying that, Huo Xun took a deep look at Xiao Ruan, and immediately flew up to the eaves and chased after the assassin.

"Miss, are you alright?"

Li Yunshou stood in front of Xiao Ruan and looked around vigilantly. Zhu Yun checked Xiao Ruan up and down, and was relieved to find that she was not injured.

"Bring the lantern."

Xiao Ruan took the lantern in Zhuyun's hand and walked to the wall on one side.Under the suspicious eyes of Li Yun and Zhuyun, they held up the lantern high and searched for a while, as if they had found something, they raised their hands to take something from it.

"This, what is this?"

The thin piece of the thing shone with silver light in Xiao Ruan's hand, Zhu Yun asked subconsciously, and suddenly realized that this was the hidden weapon that attacked them just now, and immediately stood in front of Xiao Ruan and looked around nervously .

"It's safe here for the time being, those assassins have escaped..."

Just as Li Yun said something, he turned around suddenly, pulled out a soft sword from his body with a "shua", and blocked it in front of Xia Zhuyun and Xiao Ruan.

Following Li Yun's line of sight to the dark shadow, Xiao Ruan narrowed her eyes, and soon saw a very familiar figure slowly walking out from there.

When that person approached, under the light of the lantern, a gentle and delicate face appeared in front of Xiao Ruan and the others, it was actually Zhao Yan.

"Ruan'er, I just want to meet you, you don't have to be afraid."

Zhao Yan approached Xiao Ruan calmly, glanced at Li Yun and Zhu Yun who were guarding her, and slowly raised the corners of his lips to reveal an extremely kind smile.

Xiao Ruan did not expect to meet Zhao Yan here, glanced at the hidden weapon in his hand, and his voice became condensed instantly: "So those assassins just now were sent by you!"

"Ruan'er is still so smart, I can't hide anything from you. Yes, these assassins are indeed sent by me, but I just want to talk to you alone. You let your maid back down, I will never It will hurt you a little bit."

Zhao Yan didn't mind at all that Xiao Ruan knew that he had arranged for an assassin, but there was a little more eager light in his eyes.

"Miss, don't listen to him, Master Hou will be back soon, so we are not afraid of him!"

When Li Yun remembered that Xiao Ruan was almost burned to death in this other courtyard, his face became more anxious, for fear that Xiao Ruan would agree.

However, not only did Xiao Ruan not listen to her persuasion, but he threw the hidden weapon in his hand on the ground with a "ding" sound: "You all step back first."

"Miss!"

Zhuyun almost thought that there was something wrong with her ears, and was about to persuade her, but suddenly saw Xiao Ruan's face was determined, and realized that she had made up her mind, so she had to look at Li Yun, and slowly backed away a certain distance.

"I knew Ruan'er would believe me, since the last time we said goodbye, I've been thinking about you day and night..."

The joy on Zhao Yan's face grew stronger, and he subconsciously moved a little closer to Xiao Ruan's side, when his voice was suddenly interrupted.

"Where did you lead Huo Xun!"

Xiao Ruan realized that Zhao Yan had deliberately set up an ambush here, and was extremely worried about what might happen to Huo Xun, her voice was condensed.

Zhao Yan's eyes flickered slightly, he raised his hand to touch his nose, and then said: "General Huo is superb in martial arts, how can my subordinates be his opponents? Ruan Er, just don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt him."

Hearing this, Xiao Ruan breathed a sigh of relief, and then snorted coldly: "That's right, His Highness Duke Huai really doesn't have the ability to hurt my husband."

"Ruan'er, do you really think that I dare not touch him? To tell you the truth, I'm holding him in my hand now. As long as you are willing to support this king's ascension to the throne, I will naturally let him go."

Zhao Yan heard the sarcasm in Xiao Ruan's voice, and his complexion suddenly sank.According to the light from the lantern on the ground, a face was hidden in the shadow, with an indescribable ferocity.

After saying that, Zhao Yan's eyes suddenly showed a burning color, and he moved closer to Xiao Ruan: "Ruan'er, you know, I haven't changed my mind about you, and I will not change your mind if you are unhappy. I won't do it lightly..."

As Zhao Yan got closer, Xiao Ruan could see the white gas coming out of his mouth when he spoke.

This man's voice was low and seemed to be magnetic, which made people feel extremely affectionate for no reason.But in Xiao Ruan's ears, she felt disgusted in her heart.

Especially when Zhao Yan threatened him with the excuse from last time, the irony on Xiao Ruan's face became even stronger, and he blurted out: "His Royal Highness Huai, aren't you afraid that I will tell the emperor what you said today? Crown Prince He is the candidate to inherit the throne, in terms of talent, ability, and prestige among the people, what do you compare with the crown prince?"

"you!"

What Zhao Yan dislikes the most is when someone compares him with the prince.

Ever since he could remember, he had often heard people comparing him with the prince, but no matter how hard he tried and how he tried to curry favor, in the emperor's heart, the prince was always the best.

The prince did not have the support of his mother and concubine, so the emperor ordered other people to support him, and he was not allowed to marry the daughter of an important official in the court, making it clear that he would not be allowed to get involved in the throne.

But as a prince, if he doesn't even have the courage to fight for the throne, wouldn't it be a waste of time in this world?
But seeing that Xiao Ruan's eyes were full of naked contempt, he couldn't hold back his anger even more, a ruthless look suddenly flashed across his face, and he grabbed Xiao Ruan's wrist.

"Zhao Yan, what are you doing!"

Here, Zhao Yan just grabbed Xiao Ruan's wrist, when he suddenly heard an angry shout, and before he could react, an unknown object attacked his chest.

Zhao Yan's eyes dimmed, he hurriedly let go of Xiao Ruan, took a step back to avoid the attack of the unknown thing, and when he turned his head again, he saw Huo Xun jumping down from the eaves.

In the dim night, Zhao Yan couldn't see the expression on Huo Xun's face clearly, but he could clearly feel the anger emanating from him.

At the same time, several black shadows descended, and immediately guarded in front of Xiao Ruan and Huo Xun together with Li Yun who saw the situation was wrong and chased after him.

"If the prince dares to disrespect his wife again, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

Huo Xun looked at the opposite person with an angry face, his wrist joints creaked, which sounded especially scary in the quiet night.

Just now, he led his bodyguards to chase the assassin in the direction where the assassin fled, and soon realized that he had been tricked by someone else, so he hurriedly led the people back, and saw Zhao Yan holding Xiao Ruan's hand, wanting to The way she took it.

"Huo Xun, do you really dare to be rude to me? Don't forget, this king still holds your handle. If you still refuse to agree to submit to me, you should know what the consequences will be!"

Zhao Yan's threat had no effect in front of Huo Xun.

Huo Xun let out a cold snort from his throat, but his eyes were full of disdain.

There was condensation in the air, and there seemed to be flames splashing where the eyes of the two met, like two angry lions, neither of them would give in.

But Xiao Ruan repeatedly heard Zhao Yan bring up the so-called "handle", and unconsciously turned his attention to Huo Xun.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Xiao Ruan always felt that when Zhao Yan mentioned the word "handle", Huo Xun seemed to be poked into a pain point, and a flash of anger suddenly flashed on his face.

It's just that when she looked carefully, the unusual anger had disappeared.

"Ruan'er, let's go."

Seemingly noticing Xiao Ruan's scrutiny, Huo Xun suddenly turned around, ignored Zhao Yan behind him, and helped Xiao Ruan to leave.

"Huo Xun, I will give you one last chance, if you still refuse to agree, then don't blame me for being rude!"

Zhao Yan's angry voice came from behind again, Huo Xun paused slightly, and left without looking back while holding Xiao Ruan's hand tightly.

"My lord, do you want us to..."

As the cold wind blew, several black shadows landed on Zhao Yan's side who had not yet left like ghosts, and bowed to salute.

A group of people in Zhao Yan's distance, who had merged into the night, narrowed their eyes slightly: "No hurry, I can still wait."
