The reborn poisonous woman is hard to abandon

Chapter 267

In the middle of a certain courtyard in Jingnan Prince's Mansion, Zhao Yixuan, a young prince wearing a gold-trimmed unicorn robe, held a dagger in his hand, using a set of sword skills to move freely.

Princess Jingnan Zhu Qian looked at the little man opposite with pride, and seeing that he had made the last move, she immediately waved to the maid behind her.

And Zhao Yixuan took a deep breath, put away his sword, and the seriousness on his powder-carved and jade-carved face instantly turned into joy, and he went straight to a woman beside Jiangnan Princess.

"Sister Ruan! How did you see Xuan'er's swordsmanship just now?"

The woman has soft eyebrows and her lower abdomen is slightly raised, it is Xiao Ruan who is pregnant.

Seeing Zhao Yixuan approaching, she immediately embraced him with both hands, and took out a brocade handkerchief from her bosom to wipe the sweat off his forehead.

"It's said that the sword is given to heroes. Except for Xiao Shizi, I'm afraid this sword will never find a suitable owner."

Hearing this, Zhao Yixuan immediately showed a proud expression: "Hmph! Of course, Brother Xun can say that I am a rare martial arts genius!"

"Okay, little hero, look at your stinky sweat, it will burn your sister Ruan to death, hurry up and take a shower before coming back."

Zhao Yixuan looked arrogant, and Zhu Qian dotingly pulled him out of Xiao Ruan's arms.

"Sister Ruan, you must praise me more in front of Brother Xun, he said that he will teach me himself when I master the sword!"

Zhao Yixuan admired Huo Xun very much, and he did not forget to remind him before leaving, for fear that Xiao Ruan would have already left when he came back.

So he tugged at Xiao Ruan's sleeves until he heard her promise, then he followed the maid and left contentedly.

"This kid has finally left, let's go in and sit back."

Zhu Qian smiled helplessly at Xiao Ruan, and immediately invited Xiao Ruan into the room. After bringing the maid over with the teapot, she glanced at Xiao Ruan's stomach, and immediately showed concern.

"Ruan'er, what are you doing here today?"

It's the end of the new year, not to mention the cold weather, and every family is busy saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.

Unless necessary, they let the servants in their hands walk back and forth, and Xiao Ruan came to the mansion in person while she was pregnant, which made Zhu Qian feel strange.

Ever since she saw Xiao Ruan, she wanted to inquire in detail, but Zhao Yixuan insisted on pestering Xiao Ruan to watch him dance sword.

Xiao Ruan was silent for a moment, then slowly put the teacup in his hand back on the table, and lowered his eyes: "To tell the truth, the princess, Ruan'er came here today because she had some trouble with Huo Xun."

"You two are like glue, how could..."

Zhu Qian was a little surprised, and immediately persuaded: "My lord and I can see that Huo Xun is devoted to you, but he is a man after all, not as delicate as our women. Now that you are pregnant, don't be as knowledgeable as her. What's the matter?" Tell me about your troubles, and I will teach him for you."

"It wasn't yesterday! I don't know where he provoked a woman. The woman blocked in front of the Hou's mansion and claimed that she was Huo Xun's fiancee...Princess, you judge Ruan'er. This person has come to the door, isn't it?" Slapping me in the face!"

With anger on Xiao Ruan's face, he wiped away tears sadly at the end.

"This, this Huo Xun, how dare he do such a thing without telling you?"

Xiao Ruan's words were undoubtedly a flash of thunder, and Zhu Qian's eyes widened in an instant.

At the beginning, she was the matchmaker between Xiao Ruan and Huo Xun. She knew that Huo Xun had a deep love for Xiao Ruan and he was pure and self-loving, so she would never find another woman.But if there was no such thing, Xiao Ruan would not have come to find him on purpose.

Besides, Xiao Ruan didn't tell Mrs. Lu about this immediately, just to make himself reconcile.

Thinking of this, she suddenly stood up and immediately sent someone to look for Huo Xun.

"Princess, don't!"

The maid here was ordered to leave, Xiao Ruan hurriedly stopped her.

Zhu Xi was taken aback, and immediately turned her head to comfort: "Ruan Er, don't worry, I will ask Huo Xun in private."

Xiao Ruan breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and under Zhu Qian's sympathetic gaze, hesitated for a moment before saying: "Actually, I already asked Huo Xun last night, and he said that the woman is one of his cousins... ...only I never knew he had a cousin..."

"cousin?"

Zhu Qian was taken aback for a moment, and then showed a thoughtful expression.

After a while, Zhu Qian looked at Xiao Ruan with some uncertainty: "What's the name of this cousin, but Su Qingqing?"

"How does the princess know that the woman is called Su Qingqing? Could it be that she really had a marriage contract with Huo Xun before, so she dared to call herself a fiancee?"

"That's right!"

Different from Xiao Ruan's surprise, Zhu Qian let out a long sigh of relief, called back the maid and said with a smile: "You, I really misunderstood Huo Xun, he does have such a cousin, and Master Huo also clearly said that they did not Marry him."

"Can……"

Seeing disbelief on Xiao Ruan's face, Zhu Qian walked to the soft bed next to Xiao Ruan and sat down, took Xiao Ruan's hand, and patted it gently.

"Huo Xun used to be the subordinate of the prince. The prince and I know the situation of his family very well. Can you still lie to you? Her mother and Huo Xun's biological mother are good sisters in the clan. We met each other. It’s just that I heard that they went to Cangzhou later.”

Xiao Ruan glanced at Zhu Qian and didn't speak. Zhu Xi guessed what she was thinking, hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but said: "Speaking of which, I also met Su Qingqing ten years ago. At that time, she seemed to be I often cling to Huo Xun. Now that Huo Xun is already a Marquis at a young age, Su Qingqing may want to pretend to be a fiancee...you really need to be on guard against her."

Hearing this, Xiao Ruan's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't speak.

Yesterday she saw that Su Qingqing threw herself into Huo Xun's arms, and Huo Xun didn't refuse, so she already guessed that the two had a good relationship.

Zhu Xi didn't know that Su Qingqing came to the capital this time to seek refuge with Huo Xun, but she deliberately told herself that Su Qingqing belonged to Huo Xun back then, which was also a reminder to her.

And Su Qingqing pretended to be Huo Xun's fiancée as soon as she came to the door. Isn't her heart the same as Sima Yi's heart, everyone knows?
Sighing secretly, Xiao Ruan thought to herself that just after Duanmuyao was missing, another Su Qingqing came, and she might be busy this year.

After solemnly thanking Zhu Qian, Xiao Ruan was silent for a moment, and suddenly took the initiative to hold her hand.

"Princess, wouldn't it be nice if you told me about Xianggong's birth mother in detail? It also prevents ten or eight Li Qingqings from appearing later. Wang Qingqing, I don't know what's going on."

"You, thanks to the fact that I said that you are calm when things happen, it turns out that there are times when you panic. Huo Xun only has this cousin, where will you think so much? But then again, what you said is true, I I really need to tell you about Huo Xun's mother."

It was rare to see Xiao Ruan's nervous appearance, Zhu Qian was amused for a while, and saw that she was ashamed when she was said by herself, and her address to Huo Xun was changed to "Sanggong" again, and she immediately told her about the past very frankly.

"Ten years ago, Huo Xun's foreign renter was involved in a major court case and was sentenced to death by the emperor. Although he was rehabilitated afterwards, the entire Zhou family was dead and exiled. His biological mother also died of worrying too much at that time, so the prince will take pity on Huo Xun..."

These past events sound plain, but when you think about it carefully, they are also thrilling.Xiao Ruan listened quietly to Zhu Qian talking about the time, and finally understood why Huo Xun never mentioned the matter of his biological mother to himself, and never met relatives outside the Huo family.

At the end of Zhu Xi's speech, there was also a look of sorrow on her face, Xiao Ruan's eyes flashed, and finally said the sentence that she wanted to ask most today.

"Then... princess, do you know why there is a gap between Mrs. Huo and the queen?"

Seemingly a little abrupt, Zhu Qian's expression obviously became a little hesitant, but after a while, she screened all the servants in the room back, and then spoke.

"Forget it, since I've already said this, and you are Huo Xun's wife, it doesn't matter if I tell you these things, after all, Huo Xun may not know clearly."

Xiao Ruan breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately pricked up his ears.

After learning from Lu Hanrui that Huo Xun's parents had some kind of connection with the empress, Xiao Ruan was eager to know what happened between the empress and Huo Xun's biological mother, that's why she came here today to ask Princess Jiangnan.

In order not to let people see that she was asking about this on purpose, she deliberately told Zhu Qian about Su Qingqing's visit yesterday in order to elicit this question.

Fortunately, Zhu Qian really knew what happened between them.

"Speaking of which, it's also a coincidence that I know this. Back then, the Queen and Mrs. Huo were playmates of the eldest princess. When I accompanied my mother into the palace, I happened to hear the eldest princess persuade them. That's when I knew it clearly."

As if she could finally tell the secret hidden in her heart, Zhu Qian's words were vaguely relieved.

It turned out that Huo Xun's biological mother Zhou and the queen fell in love with Huo Ming at the same time.

During the draft, the empress deliberately drew Zhou's attention to the emperor, but she didn't expect that Huo Ming would come forward to ask for a marriage on the spot.

"...It is precisely because of this reason that the queen is unwilling to accept it, and has gradually lost contact with Mrs. Huo."

Xiao Ruan quickly put together what Zhu Qian said today in her mind, and suddenly thought of a possibility.His expression changed drastically, and he looked towards Zhu Qian, only to find that she was also looking at him with an inexplicable expression.

Xiao Ruan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately confirmed his guess, but he was still a little uncertain and said: "Could it be that the content of their quarrel, Wangfei, is the reason why the Eldest Princess chooses to marry far away, and... ..."

Xiao Ruan didn't say what she said behind, but just stared at Zhu Qian's eyes intently.

The eldest princess that Zhu Qian was talking about just now is actually the emperor's beloved younger sister. Almost everyone in the Southern Jin Dynasty knows this princess.

I heard that there were always barbarians in the Xiluo area, and the emperor was deeply troubled by it. Some people in the court proposed to make peace with the barbarians and temporarily hold them back.
