Chapter 312
He didn't think about what to say for a while, but the woman in the shadow had to prop herself up and sit up.

"General Huo suddenly appeared in my room, but please don't tell me that you are here for a walk."

Xiao Ruan's voice was full of sarcasm, and Huo Xun blushed immediately. Fortunately, it was covered by the night, so he didn't feel any embarrassment.

"I heard that you were injured, so I came to see... how are you doing? What's wrong with you?"

Huo Xun stared at Xiao Ruan's direction, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to ask.

"I'm sorry to trouble the general, but I remember that we seem to have reconciled, so whether I am injured or not has nothing to do with you. Please leave me immediately, or I will ask someone to drive you out immediately!"

Last night Huo Xun had already shown his heart in front of her, and tonight Xiao Ruan had a thousand and ten thousand thoughts in his heart that he wanted to express his heartfelt love to the other party, but when it finally came out of his throat, he was still resisting and indifferent.

Huo Xun tried his best to "sever ties" with her, so she couldn't let people see the abnormality until the truth was announced.

Under the cover of night, Xiao Ruan stared at the figure of the man in front of him affectionately, and did not hear the man's response for a long time.Thinking that the other party had discovered something and was about to speak, a soft sigh came from his ear.

"Ruan'er talked to me so calmly, it seems that there should be nothing serious about it. It's true that I'm too worried. It doesn't matter if you don't want to see me now, I just leave."

After saying that, Huo Xun actually retreated slowly to the window sill under Xiao Ruan's gaze, and jumped out.

There was still Huo Xun's aura in the room, Xiao Ruan secretly hated that the other party refused to explain clearly to him what he meant last night, and at the same time regretted that he should not be so indifferent when seeing him.

Thousands of thoughts surged in his mind, Xiao Ruan finally closed his eyes again and fell into a deep sleep as he looked at the empty window sill in the distance.

The news of Xiao Ruan's assassination was widely spread, and Lu Hanrui often brought people to visit Xiao Ruan, but after a few days, Jing Zhaoyi did not find out who the murderer was.

And at this moment, Xiao Ruan suddenly received an invitation letter from Duke Huai, saying that the matter of assassinating her had already progressed.

"Ruan'er, Zhao Yan invites you to his house at this time, it will never be a good thing, I don't agree with you to go."

When Xiao Zhongheng learned that Xiao Ruan was about to attend the appointment, he hurried over to stop him.

"I want to know who the murderer is and what he can do to me? You don't have to worry so much..."

"No! How do you know he wasn't lying to you on purpose? Maybe he doesn't even know who the assassin is!"

Before Xiao Ruan could finish speaking, Xiao Zhongheng interrupted her, the firmness in his eyes did not allow Xiao Ruan to refute at all.

For a moment, Xiao Ruan was very helpless.

Xiao Zhongheng regarded Zhao Yan as too scary, but in Xiao Ruan's view, not only was the invitation this time not dangerous, but he might be able to find something when the other party was lax.

The time Zhao Yan and Xiao Ruan agreed on was at Shen Shi, and Xiao Ruan and Xiao Zhongheng finally persuaded the other party to agree to go before Shen Shi.And Xiao Zhongheng waited outside the gate of Prince Huai's mansion, planning to ask Zhao Yan for someone if there was any abnormality.

"Master Xiao's worries are really unnecessary. My heart for you is a lesson to be learned from the sun and the moon. How could he think that I want to hurt you?"

"Maybe it's because I didn't explain it clearly to my brother. Please don't take offense. My brother thought it was a coincidence that the prince saved me that night. He also thought that the person who sent people to chase and kill me was also the prince. Naturally, he didn't want me to come to see you."

Zhao Yan felt very funny about Xiao Zhongheng's behavior after listening to his subordinates' feedback, while Xiao Ruan lowered his eyes and calmly shifted the focus to the murderer.

Sure enough, Zhao Yan instantly figured out that they thought they had directed and acted a scene in which a hero saves the beauty.

"Ruan'er, you really wronged me this time. The person who wanted to kill you is locked up here now. I will take you to see him right now."

Sighing, Zhao Yan raised his hand as a gesture of invitation, and then led Xiao Ruan towards the backyard.

In an extremely ordinary yard somewhere in the backyard, there was no one there, and the decoration in the room was also extremely ordinary.Suspicions abounded in Xiao Ruan's mind, when he heard a strange noise, he suddenly found a small door on the wall where there was nothing there just now.

Zhao Yan glanced back at her, and took the initiative to enter the small door. Xiao Ruan followed immediately without hesitation.

Passing through a section of unmanned secret passage, Xiao Ruan immediately saw a place full of various instruments of torture.But what attracted Xiao Ruan's attention the most was a person hanging by his hands and feet on the wall.

That person has a handsome appearance, wearing a black brocade robe embroidered with dark patterns, it is Huo Yuan.

"Are you surprised? He is the one who really wants your life."

Xiao Ruan's heart fluctuated, and he looked at the torture tools around him in surprise, suddenly he didn't understand Zhao Yan's purpose for bringing him here.

She clearly remembered that Huo Yuan had already taken refuge in Zhao Yan, but the current situation made people feel confused.

Is Zhao Yan going to kill Huo Yuan here in front of her?
"Wake him up!"

Without explaining Xiao Ruan's confusion, Zhao Yan's voice just fell when the guards behind him took cold water and splashed Huo Yuan awake.

"My lord, I am loyal to you, why are you doing this to me?"

Huo Yuan opened his eyes and looked around, his face immediately revealed a nervous look. When he saw Zhao Yan and Xiao Ruan in the distance, he became emotional instantly, and there was a harsh sound of chains in the room.

Huo Yuan struggled a few times and found that he couldn't break free at all, and immediately roared angrily at Zhao Yan.

At this time Huo Yuan was drenched all over, water dripped down his hair, eyebrows, and the tip of his nose, looking extremely embarrassed.

Turning his head and glanced at Xiao Ruan, Zhao Yan slowly walked up to Huo Yuan: "Huo Yuan, I said that Ruan'er is my king's woman, and no one can touch her, why did you send someone to assassinate her? "

Zhao Yan's tone was very casual, as if he thought the stove in front of Huo Yuan was very interesting, he stretched out his slender hand and held up a red-hot soldering iron inside to look at it playfully.

"Master Huo, you said there are so many instruments of torture, which one should I use for you? This one or this one?"

Zhao Yan put the iron close to Huo Yuan's wet hair, and with the appearance of a white mist, there was a burning smell in the air, which was extremely unpleasant.

Startled by Zhao Yan's sudden action, Huo Yuan hurriedly hid his head aside, a flash of contempt flashed in Zhao Yan's eyes, and then he turned to look at Xiao Ruan.

"Ruan'er, if you have any questions, you can ask him."

Xiao Ruan thought that Zhao Yan would use this method to make him come to see Huo Yuan, took a deep breath from him to stabilize his mind, and then slowly walked towards Huo Yuan.

"Huo Yuan, I have no grievances or enmities with you, why do you have to put me to death?"

"No injustice or enmity? Xiao Ruan, don't pretend anymore. How dare you say that you didn't deal with my Korean government secretly? You and my sister are jealous, but you even set up my father. Now my father is demoted by the emperor to a commoner, you Do you still dare to say that we have no grievances or enmities?"

Huo Yuan raised his head and stared at Xiao Ruan with straight eyes. His gloomy face was like the sky before the storm, which made people feel stuffy for no reason and dared not look at him.

However, Xiao Ruan pulled the corner of his mouth lightly, showing a hint of sarcasm.

When she was discussing with Xiao Zhongheng who was the murderer, she had expected that it must be Huo Yuan, so she was not surprised to see him here today.

But what Huo Yuan said just now is really interesting.

He deliberately concealed the fact that Huo Yixuan had murdered her several times, and said that she was jealous of Lu Heng for marrying the prince, and he clearly wanted to tell Zhao Yan behind her.

As for his mention of his father's demotion, it was to remind Queen Zhao Yan that she handed over the phoenix seal at this time, so as to incite Zhao Yan's anger towards her.

In fact, if Zhao Yan really cared about these things, he wouldn't have invited her here today.

"I did design your father, but if he didn't sell illegal salt, how could I get it? So you should blame your father for selling illegal salt instead of asking me for trouble."

"you!"

Huo Yuan didn't expect Xiao Ruan to admit it directly, suppressed the hatred in his heart, and immediately said to Zhao Yan: "My lord, can you trust my subordinates now? This woman has already admitted that she is deliberately targeting us! If it wasn't for her, the empress would You will not lose your power!"

"My lord, the Huo family assassinated me several times for Huo Yixuan, how can I just sit and wait? As for the illegal salt sale case, I can swear that what I did was just to get revenge on the Huo family and has nothing to do with you."

As soon as Huo Yuan's voice fell, Xiao Ruan immediately explained, while Zhao Yan, like a bystander, let the two of them defend themselves, showing no emotion on their faces.

It wasn't until the two finished talking that Zhao Yan slowly walked up to Xiao Ruan, and said with loving eyes: "Ruan'er, it's all my fault, if this king knew earlier that Huo Yixuan wanted to harm you, he would definitely protect you comprehensive."

At the beginning, Huo Yixuan planned that Xiao Ruan was rescued by him. When he thought of Xiao Ruan being drugged at that time, Zhao Yan's heart surged with anger.

This woman was persecuted several times before she could protect her, it was unbearable!
Now that Xiao Ruan has left Huo Xun, he is slowly accepting himself, if he can't protect Xiao Ruan well, how can he say that she is his woman?
After saying this to Xiao Ruan as if guaranteeing, Zhao Yan suddenly turned his gaze to Huo Yuan, the coldness in his eyes was enough to explain his position.

"My lord! This subordinate is loyal to you. Are you really going to kill me because of this woman? You will definitely regret it!"

Huo Yuan shook the iron chain on his wrist violently, looked at Zhao Yan who was getting closer and closer to him with the soldering iron in his hand, and finally understood that Xiao Ruan was not only Huo Xun's weakness, but also Zhao Yan's weakness.

"Huo Yuan, this king will not pursue what your Huo family did to Ruan Er in the past, but this time this king has clearly warned you not to touch Xiao Ruan, but you still go your own way. If you don't teach you a lesson, it will be difficult Get rid of my anger!"

After saying that, Zhao Yan glanced at the triangular soldering iron in his hand, and handed it directly to the guard.
