The reborn poisonous woman is hard to abandon

Chapter 313 I would like to do my part for the prince
"My lord... ah!"

Accompanied by a scream, there was a smell of burnt flesh in the secret room.

The guard actually pressed the triangle soldering iron on Huo Yuan's face.

In Dajin, only those who commit serious crimes will be branded with the triangular imprint.

Having this on Huo Yuan's face means that he has committed a serious crime, and if he appears in front of others, he will definitely be cast aside.And he has always been proud, this kind of punishment is definitely more painful for him than killing him.

Xiao Ruan never thought that Zhao Yan would treat Huo Yuan like this, but seeing the blood overflowing from his face, Huo Yuan's face was squeezed together in pain, and he turned his face away unconsciously.

Seeing this, Zhao Yan blocked Xiao Ruan's eyes and said in a low voice: "Ruan'er, I should have killed Huo Yuan to vent your anger on you, but now Huo Yuan is working for me after all. Even if he paid the price, how about you give him a chance?"

Zhao Yan found out that the person who wanted to kill Xiao Ruan was Huo Yuan, and he was really furious, but he didn't have many capable people in his hands, and Huo Yuan had some tricks, so he didn't want to kill him so quickly.

The fleshy smell at the tip of the nose became stronger and stronger, and Xiao Ruan's stomach churned, and she could hardly hear what Zhao Yan said.Noticing that there seemed to be anticipation in Zhao Yan's eyes, he barely controlled the desire to vomit, and nodded at him.

"Ruan'er, I knew you were the most reasonable. Don't worry, if this Huo Yuan dares to touch your hair again, I will kill him for you!"

Joy flashed in Zhao Yan's eyes, and he was quite surprised by Xiao Ruan's reaction.

He thought that Xiao Ruan would not agree to him so easily, and even made preparations to kill Huo Yuan if she insisted on taking Huo Yuan's life.

He was very satisfied with the result at this time.

Zhao Yan signaled the guards to stop torture, turned around, and said in a cold voice: "Huo Yuan, listen to me, if you dare to murder Ruan'er again, you won't lose this face next time!"

Half of Huo Yuan's face was bloody and bloody, bones could still be seen faintly at the position of the soldering iron.The sweat on his forehead mixed with blood flowed down his neck into the skirt of his clothes, leaving a few conspicuous marks.

"Huo...yuan...thank you...my lord for your kindness..."

Hearing Zhao Yan's words, Huo Yuan raised his head with difficulty, his gloomy eyes still seemed to be bloodshot.His eyes stayed on Xiao Ruan for a long time, and finally a hoarse voice came out from his throat.

"My lord saved my life and helped me teach Huo Yuan a lesson. What do you want me to do?"

After leaving the secret room, Xiao Ruan managed to drive Huo Yuan's eyes looking at her out of her mind, and immediately opened the skylight with Zhao Yan to speak honestly.

"Ruan'er, I like you and treat you well. Do you need any reason? My king has always liked smart women, and I also believe that only women who are smart enough can be qualified to be my woman. It was you who behaved at the beginning. You came out so smart that this king desperately wants to get you, but then..."

The secret road was quiet, Zhao Yan heard Xiao Ruan's voice, turned his head slowly, sighed, his gentle face was full of affection.

"Later, I found out that I really fell in love with you, and now I only want you. If you must ask me what I need from you, it is that I need you to marry me."

Zhao Yan's voice had a certain magnetism, adding an ambiguous flavor in the silent secret passage.

He approached Xiao Ruan step by step, but after Xiao Ruan slammed his back against the wall, there was no way out.

Seeing this, Zhao Yan slowly raised the corners of his mouth, grabbed Xiao Ruan's hands, bent down, and said in a more affectionate voice, "Ruan'er, don't reject me, as my king's woman, how about letting me protect you for the rest of my life?" I can assure you that it won't be long before you will become the queen of the world."

The man's lips were getting closer, and Xiao Ruan could even clearly see the faint stubble protruding from the other's lips.

The touching words of love make people intoxicated, and the scene at this time undoubtedly coincides with a scene in the previous life, making Xiao Ruan feel in a trance for a moment.

"His Royal Highness Huai, please respect yourself!"

Just when he was about to kiss her lips, Xiao Ruan suddenly woke up and pushed him away.

Zhao Yan was caught off guard, unexpectedly Xiao Ruan would push him suddenly, his body swayed, and he almost fell to the ground.

Noticing the nervousness on Xiao Ruan's face, Zhao Yan suddenly chuckled and grabbed Xiao Ruan's hand again.

"Ruan'er, don't dare to admit it. In fact, you also have feelings for me, don't you? If you didn't have feelings for me, you wouldn't agree to see me after you reconciled with Huo Xun."

Xiao Ruan didn't speak, Zhao Yan thought he had guessed what she was thinking, and the smile on the corner of his mouth grew bigger and bigger. He glanced at her growing belly, and looked into Xiao Ruan's eyes very seriously.

"Actually, I have already made up my mind. As long as you are willing to marry me, even if you give birth to the child in your belly, I will not object."

As if hearing something unbelievable, Xiao Ruan was stunned, and suddenly felt that the words were very familiar, as if not long ago, this person had said the same words to her.

"Ruan'er, will you marry me?"

Xiao Ruan fixedly looked at Zhao Yan in front of him, a look of confusion flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly pulled out his hand: "How can Xiao Ruan be qualified to marry the prince if he is in harmony with each other? Didn't the prince ask me to help you win the throne before?" Is it? I don't want to owe you favors, if the prince agrees, I am willing to do my part for the prince."

As Xiao Ruan's voice fell, the smile on Zhao Yan's face became stronger: "Ruan'er, Huo Xun has already taken refuge in me, I don't need your help, as long as you marry me..."

"I can convince my elder brother that with his help, the prince will be more sure of winning the throne."

Before Zhao Yan could finish speaking, Xiao Ruan hurriedly spoke.

She has indeed gotten closer to Zhao Yan recently, but she still hasn't gotten any important clues.She was rescued by Zhao Yan that day, and she has been thinking about how to use the opportunity of thanking him to make Zhao Yan believe in herself more.

But if the condition is to marry him, she really can't do it, so she might as well make a deal to make it easier.

While thinking about it, Xiao Ruan immediately thought of Xiao Zhongheng.

Since Xiao Zhongheng entered the Hanlin Academy, he has always been favored and trusted by the emperor, and his marriage with Princess Beijiang made him have a part of the power of Beijiang behind him.

Sure enough, after Xiao Ruan put forward this condition, Zhao Yan showed a thoughtful look on his face.

"This king only now knows that Ruan'er is so unwilling to marry me. Well, since you don't want to, I won't force you. But I still have a problem."

Zhao Yan stared at Xiao Ruan's face for a long time, and suddenly asked an irrelevant question.

"Do you still have feelings for Huo Xun? Are you still thinking about Huo Xun if you don't want to marry me?"

Xiao Ruan breathed a sigh of relief just now, and when asked about his relationship with Huo Xun, he immediately replied without thinking: "If the lord is really nice to me, please don't mention this name in front of me in the future! I have nothing to do with him. Even the prince, you smashed him alive and have nothing to do with me!"

"Forget it, it's all my fault. I will never mention Huo Xun in front of you again."

As long as Xiao Ruan still has no feelings for Huo Xun, she will be his own woman sooner or later.

Seeing that Huo Xun was mentioned, Xiao Ruan showed an expression of anger and resentment on his face, Zhao Yan immediately changed the subject with a smile: "Since Ruan'er wants to help me, how about we go to see Master Xiao together? Not one to be easily persuaded."

"Why is this difficult? I will ask my brother to promise you a condition today."

"Lord Xiao, our lord is here to invite you to come in with your servant?"

Xiao Zhongheng waited at the gatehouse for half an hour, when he suddenly saw someone coming to look for him, he immediately stood up and yelled at that person.

He wanted to accompany Xiao Ruan to meet Zhao Yan, but was blocked by the other party on the grounds of being inappropriate for the time being. Originally, he didn't believe Zhao Yan. As a result, he suspected that the assassination of Xiao Ruan had something to do with Zhao Yan.

The person rushing down gave a cold snort, and Xiao Zhongheng immediately walked towards the courtyard.

"Ruan'er, how are you? Did he make things difficult for you?"

The servants led Xiao Zhongheng to the gate of a courtyard and retreated. As soon as Xiao Zhongheng entered the door, he saw Xiao Ruan sitting on a chair with a pale face, and hurried forward.

"Lord Xiao must have misunderstood this king. This king is sincere to Ruan Er, how could he embarrass her?"

A dim light flashed in Zhao Yan's eyes, and he defended himself with a smile.But Xiao Zhongheng didn't believe Duke Huai's words at all, raised his head and said neither humble nor overbearing: "To be honest, I don't believe what the prince said."

"Brother, you have indeed misunderstood Duke Huai. He has saved me several times in the past, and this time he helped me find the murderer. I should be grateful."

As soon as Xiao Zhongheng's voice fell, Xiao Ruan quickly explained, and directly told Zhao Yan that the murderer was Huo Yuan.

"It turned out to be really him! I'll have someone notify Jing Zhaoyi immediately and arrest him."

"Brother wait a minute!"

Xiao Ruan stopped Xiao Zhongheng again, but she didn't say how Zhao Yan vented her anger on her behalf: "You don't need to tell Jing Zhaoyi about this, the prince has already taught Huo Yuan a lesson for me just now, I'm afraid he will be the one in the future. I will never appear in front of people again."

Noticing the words "I will never appear in front of people again", Xiao Zhongheng subconsciously thought that Zhao Yan had killed Huo Yuan just to vent his anger on Xiao Ruan, and he immediately showed shock.

"You mean..."

"Brother, Duke Huai has helped me so much, I have to report it. You are the closest person to me in this world. Ruan Er hopes that you can promise me one thing in front of Duke Huai, and that is to help me repay His Highness Huai Duke. life-saving grace."

Xiao Zhongheng hadn't figured out what happened between Xiao Ruan and Zhao Yan, until he heard this and realized that he was most likely "sold" by his sister.

Not to mention that Xiao Ruan wanted him to agree to something, but if she insisted on letting herself be in front of Zhao Yan, people had to think about it.

Xiao Zhongheng didn't know why Xiao Ruan, who used to be stern about Zhao Yan, suddenly changed his attitude towards him, but now is obviously not the time to ask.

"His Royal Highness Huai is really a good idea. First, he sent his subordinates to chase and kill my sister, and staged a scene of a hero saving the beauty to gain Ruan Er's favor. Then let her come forward to persuade me to do things for you. It's really wonderful, but Why do you think I will agree?"
