The reborn poisonous woman is hard to abandon

Chapter 300
Now Zhao Yan's personal bodyguard, Ling An, trusted him so much that he even asked him for advice on such trivial matters as where to go for fun. It must be something Huo Yuan did, or came up with some clever plan.

As for the trick to make Zhao Yan look at Huo Yuan with admiration, there will never be any other tricks other than the fight for the crown prince!

After thinking everything through clearly, the anger in Xiao Ruan's heart and the feeling of powerlessness just now seemed to have an outlet, and they all roared and clamored for her to do something.

Without waiting for Li Yun to agree, Xiao Ruan immediately ordered Li Yun: "When I asked you to follow Cheng Kuo last time, didn't you say that the things he transported were very suspicious? This time you must find out for me whether he is What are you doing!"

Xiao Ruan, who was still in a state of sentimentality just now, suddenly changed his appearance, Li Yun vaguely realized something, and immediately took orders.

On the other side, after Zhao Yan and Xiao Ruan separated, they immediately sent someone to send a message to Huo Xun, and made an appointment to meet at their other courtyard in the evening.

Halfway up the mountain in the first month of the month, in a very ordinary courtyard somewhere in the capital, I suddenly heard a knock on the door.

A young man poked his head out from the door, carefully looked at the black figure outside, and immediately invited him in, leading him all the way to a secret room in the backyard.

The secret room was empty, except for some basic furnishings, there was nothing else, but there was a copper candlestick on the wall with a candle on it.

Under the dim candlelight, Zhao Yan sat on the side of the table quite leisurely, squinting his eyes slightly and looked at the man who came in, but the expression on his face was not easy to distinguish. Behind him stood the personal guard Ling An.

"General Huo, you and I are both upright people, but when you and I met last time, we sneaked around like thieves. Does the general feel uncomfortable?"

After entering the room, Huo Xun glanced at the furnishings in the room, then walked slowly to sit down opposite Zhao Yan.

The other party's tone obviously contained some kind of emotion, Huo Xun didn't say anything, and after a moment of silence, he said in a voice that could not hear the joy or anger: "Does Duke Huai know that something happened in my residence the night before?"

"Oh? Since General Huo said it, it must not be a trivial matter. Let's hear it."

Ling An picked up the jug on the table and poured two glasses of wine respectively, Zhao Yan picked up a glass and took it to himself, waiting for Huo Xun to continue talking.

"It's the minister's father. He was poisoned the night before yesterday and nearly died."

"Such a thing happened? Did the general investigate who poisoned him?"

Zhao Yan stroked the wine glass with his fingers, and asked indifferently, as if he already knew it.

Huo Xun's eyes flickered, paused for a moment, then suddenly narrowed his eyes, and said three words coldly: "It's the prince."

As if hearing a big joke, Zhao Yan suddenly sat up straight, and said sarcastically, "General Huo won't make a mistake in the investigation, right? The crown prince is kinder to you than my own brother. How could he poison you?" your father?"

Huo Xun didn't reply, and there was no emotion on his face, but when he heard the word "brother", there was a clear noise in the room.

Zhao Yan looked at Huo Xun's hand, and found that the other party had crushed the wine glass in his hand, and blood was slowly sliding down his fingers.

There was a flash of light in his eyes, and Zhao Yan suddenly let out a sneer: "General Huo, I asked you to follow me a long time ago, but you just didn't listen! Now you haven't really surrendered to me, the prince has already started I am worried that you will bite him back, it is really emotional!"

Huo Xun didn't speak, until Zhao Yan finished speaking and laughed enough, he suddenly stood up from his seat and bowed deeply to him.

"His Royal Highness Huai, as long as you help me avenge my father, I, Huo Xun, will follow you wholeheartedly from now on and will never let him become the emperor."

"General Huo really thinks so?"

Zhao Yan looked at Huo Xun on the ground calmly, but felt happy in his heart.

He had long wanted this man who dared to steal a woman from him to kneel on the ground, kowtow to himself, and apologize to himself, but now this day really made him wait.

"Although I betrayed the prince, I didn't do anything substantive. He was so vicious that he wanted to kill my father. Since he is unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous. I will never allow him to kill my father. !"

"To hear General Huo's words today, my king's heart has finally fallen to the ground!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yan finally showed satisfaction on his face, and stepped forward to help him up: "I'm afraid General Huo doesn't know yet, but the crown prince already knows that through Lu Heng's mouth, he already knows that you betrayed him. If I don't expect it, he will definitely speak ill of you in front of the emperor, and within a month, you will most likely lose your position as a general."

As if he had heard some shocking secret, Huo Xun's face suddenly revealed a hideous look. He hung his head and thought for a moment, and soon saluted Zhao Yan again.

"His Royal Highness Duke Huai, from now on, I, Huo Xun, am willing to follow you! I can tell you a secret of the crown prince right now!"

After finishing speaking, before Zhao Yan could ask, Huo Xun said a name: "My lord, please immediately investigate Meng Tian, ​​a fourth-rank official in the Ministry of Rites! Order this person to collect a lot of money, and he also opened an underground bank in the city, as long as the prince goes to investigate, the emperor will definitely disappoint the prince!"

In the quiet room, Huo Xun's voice was extremely firm and clear. After Zhao Yan finished listening to his words, he was overjoyed: "This king is indeed right. General Huo must be a sharp knife by my side!"

There seemed to be a scene where the prince was rejected by the emperor and ascended the throne by himself. Zhao Yan helped Huo Xun up again, and assured him: "Don't worry, General Huo, as long as you are willing to do things for this king, this king will never treat you badly." For you! When this king’s investigation is true, I will give you a first-class credit!”

"Thank you, my lord!"

Huo Xun's expression was restrained, but there was no joy in his voice. Zhao Yan's gaze stayed on his face for a moment, and he immediately discussed with him about investigating Meng Tian. After all the details were discussed, it was already midnight .

After Zhao Yan sent Huo Xun out of the room with a smile, the smile on his face suddenly faded, and he gestured to Ling An.

Ling An nodded immediately, walked quickly to a table with candlesticks, and twisted the handle of the hand table clockwise, a small door suddenly appeared on the originally bare wall. A tall and thin man unexpectedly Get out of it.

The man was wearing a black cloak, and his whole body was almost integrated with the night, but when he was walking, he could find that his feet seemed a little awkward.

"Lord Huo must have heard all the conversations between the king and Huo Xun. I wonder how credible do you think his words are?"

The man who was called "Lord Huo" walked slowly, took the position where Huo Xun was sitting just now, lifted the black hat on his head, and immediately revealed a gloomy face.

If Huo Xun would be there, he would definitely recognize that this person was none other than his cousin Huo Yuan.

"The lord has already made a judgment in his heart, why bother to ask Huo Yuan again? Now Huo Xun has been cornered by us, and the prince has decided to abandon him. In order to survive, he has no other choice but to please you, lord."

Hearing this, Zhao Yan showed a comfortable smile.

He personally poured a glass of wine for Huo Yuan and handed it over, his eyes full of appreciation.

"Lord Huo is indeed very smart. If you hadn't proposed this clever plan at the beginning, the king may not know when he will be able to take down Huo Xun now. Don't worry, when Huo Xun helps the king to bring down the prince, I will definitely fulfill it." With your promise, Huo Xun will be executed!"

Huo Yuan took the wine glass handed over by Zhao Yan with both hands, but corrected him: "My lord, you are wrong when you say this. When Huo Xun followed the prince, he did many things secretly to frame you. I let the lord Don't spare his life, it's also for your consideration!"

"Yes, from the standpoint of this king, this person really cannot stay."

The corners of Zhao Yan's dark mouth suddenly raised high, raised his wine glass to touch Huo Yuan, raised his neck and drank the wine in one gulp.

Seeing this, Huo Yuan also drank up the wine in his glass.

Holding up empty wine glasses, the two looked at each other, and suddenly burst out laughing tacitly.

The laughter echoed in the secret room for a long time, but no one outside heard it...

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and since Xiao Ruan heard the watchman outside knocking three times louder, she no longer felt sleepy, and her mind was full of chaos, all of which were Huo Xun's voice.

"Ruan'er, why do you think I'm protecting you? To tell you the truth, I'm already tired of you, and I just want to take this opportunity to reconcile with you. Don't think that everything I do is for you. Not so kind!"

"Rumors about you and Lin Tianqi are everywhere in the capital. If there is nothing between you, how can there be such rumors and make a fuss?"

……

These words when Huo Xun reconciled with him echoed in Xiao Ruan's mind over and over again, remembering the look on that person's face when he spoke, Xiao Ruan felt bitter again.

She had known for a long time that Huo Xun might be in trouble, and she had been forcing him to tell herself that she wanted to bear the wind and rain with him, but she just ignored this person's feelings for her.

When he was with Su Qingqing, if Li Yun hadn't investigated and asked Chu, maybe she still couldn't understand this person's difficulties.

In the past, she hated Huo Xun for not treating her as her own, but now this hatred has completely dissipated after today's thorough understanding of his situation.

In fact, it should be clear from the very beginning that Huo Xun would risk his life for her in the previous life, so how could he put her in danger in this life?
Gently putting her hands on her belly, Xiao Ruan regretted that she was pregnant for the first time. If she wasn't pregnant with a child, maybe she could persuade Huo Xun to stay by his side...
