The reborn poisonous woman is hard to abandon

Chapter 314 each with their own minds

Looking back and forth between Xiao Ruan and Zhao Yan's faces for a long time, Xiao Zhongheng's face suddenly turned cold, and he stepped forward to pull Xiao Ruan's arm and was about to leave.

Seeing this, Zhao Yan narrowed his eyes, and immediately stood up angrily: "So in the eyes of Mr. Xiao, this king is so unbearable! Ruan Er, this king really wants to help you. I hope you You can marry me, but if you have the intention of repaying it, just treat it as if I never saved you, and you really don’t need Master Xiao to do anything for me, this king doesn’t need it!”

"My lord, you... I..."

As if he didn't expect Zhao Yan to be so angry, Xiao Ruan immediately became more embarrassed, and hurriedly called Xiao Zhongheng to explain: "Brother, don't you even believe my words? It doesn't look like a fake. If you don't believe me, you can ask Li Yun and Zhu Yun!"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhongheng couldn't help but pause.

On the night Xiao Ruan was attacked, when the two of them speculated who the murderer was, it was because Xiao Ruan mentioned this detail that he believed that those men in black were not sent by Zhao Yan.

Afterwards, he also specifically went to Zhuyun, Li Yun, and the injured guards to ask if those people might be acting.

Because the results obtained were also consistent with what Xiao Ruan said, Xiao Zhongheng also somewhat believed that Zhao Yan would not be the murderer.

Moreover, Zhao Yan found out that the murderer was Huo Yuan, so he would definitely worry about being suspected of being the mastermind behind the scenes.But he still chose to tell Xiao Ruan. To a certain extent, he did show some sincerity to Xiao Ruan.

Seeing Xiao Zhongheng's expression in his eyes, Xiao Ruan looked back at Zhao Yan, nodded to him secretly, moved closer to Xiao Zhongheng, and lowered his voice: "Brother, I know that the situation in the court is complicated, you have your position And principles, but I really don't want to owe Duke Huai a favor, can you promise me? And Zhao Yan won't let us do anything excessive..."

Xiao Ruan had never begged Xiao Zhongheng for anything, but at this moment she begged herself for an unimportant promise, Xiao Zhongheng suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

If it wasn't for him not protecting Xiao Ruan well, how could she be rescued by Zhao Yan?If she hadn't been rescued by Zhao Yan, she wouldn't have to worry about repaying the favor she owed him.

The prince was placed under house arrest by the emperor, and the voices of the people for dismissing the prince became louder and louder. The current court is like the night before the storm. It seems calm, but in fact, the dark tide is surging.

He is Xiao Ruan's elder brother, of course he is willing to do his best to thank the benefactor who saved her life, but if the benefactor is Zhao Yan, it will not be an easy task.

Xiao Zhongheng turned around slowly and looked at Zhao Yan with complicated eyes.

He is also a member of the Prince's family now, if he promises Zhao Yan any conditions now, in case he is used when he competes with the prince for the throne, how will he deal with himself?

After hesitating in his heart for a long time, Xiao Zhongheng's eyes froze, and finally his tone eased: "I can agree to the prince with one condition, but I will never do anything that hurts the sky, is unfaithful and unrighteous."

Zhao Yan's attention was always on Xiao Zhongheng, and when he suddenly heard the other party's promise, he couldn't believe his ears.

He tried his best to keep himself calm, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

And Xiao Zhongheng saw the joy on his face, and felt a sense of displeasure in his heart, and immediately pulled Xiao Ruan away with a cold face...

Not long after Xiao Ruan and Xiao Zhongheng's brothers and sisters left, the stone door in the room turned suddenly, and a black figure came out from the secret passage.

If Xiao Ruan was still there, he would be surprised to find that this person is still Huo Yuan.

At this time, Huo Yuan's face had already been covered with medicine, and the white bandage was still tinged with eye-catching red.

He dragged himself to sit down opposite Zhao Yan, quickly glanced at the smiling man opposite him, and said in a hoarse voice: "My lord was too happy, Xiao Ruan was just trying to convince his brother in front of you." It's just a promise to you, how do you know that they didn't deliberately arrange it for you to see?"

The smile on Zhao Yan's face froze, and then his face turned cold: "I really don't need to be too happy too early, Xiao Zhongheng always suspected that you assassinated Xiao Ruan was ordered by this king, maybe you really only agreed to this king verbally."

Zhao Yan's words were insinuating, and the tone was very bad, Huo Yuan immediately fell silent.

A few days ago, he got the news that Xiao Ruanmengjue Temple offered incense, and immediately decided to take this opportunity to take her life to relieve his hatred.

He sent out more than 20 dead soldiers from the Korean government, and he was full of confidence in taking Xiao Ruan's life, but he never thought that Xiao Ruan would be rescued by Zhao Yan in the end.

If he hadn't been worth something in Zhao Yan's eyes, this man would have really killed himself for that bitch.

There was a dull pain in the wound on his face, Huo Yuan thought of Zhao Yan's protection of Xiao Ruan, he clenched his fists quietly, covered the hatred in his eyes and lowered his head: "Please calm down, the minister didn't intend to target Xiao Ruan. There is fraud..."

"Lord Huo was frightened today, so go back and have a good rest. This king has his own idea about this matter."

Zhao Yan interrupted Huo Yuan in a cold voice, not in the mood to listen to him anymore.

Just now in the secret room, he had clearly warned him not to touch Xiao Ruan's mind, but this person still said Xiao Ruan's fault, which was really annoying.

Now he only has one thought for Xiao Ruan, and that is to hope that she will marry him willingly, as for Xiao Zhongheng, it is completely an unexpected harvest.

Xiao Ruan didn't like him in the past, but he didn't believe that he saved her life several times and took care of her everywhere. This woman would not be moved at all.

In the secret way, he asked Xiao Ruan to marry him in order to test what Xiao Ruan thought about him.

Xiao Ruan has always been extremely guarded against him, if she agreed to marry him on the spot, such a change would be too sudden, and people would have to wonder if there was a fraud in it.

But Xiao Ruan not only did not agree to marry him, but offered to persuade Xiao Zhongheng to repay her, and wanted to settle with him, which was in line with her character.

He called Xiao Zhongheng into the room and asked Xiao Ruan to persuade Xiao Zhongheng face to face, which was also a kind of temptation.

His layout in the court has been basically completed, and Xiao Zhongheng's help is not bad.

Xiao Ruan and Xiao Zhongheng are brothers and sisters, if there are any flaws in him, Xiao Ruan's favor and change towards him are also doubtful.

Judging from Xiao Zhongheng's refusal on the spot, and in the end he agreed in Xiao Ruan's face, but left angrily, it is true that he can't fully believe in his promise to help him.

But from another point of view, Xiao Zhongheng belongs to the lineage of the prince. If there is any conspiracy, Xiao Zhongheng should let himself believe that he will help and gain his trust.

Therefore, after this series of trials, Xiao Zhongheng has reason to believe that Xiao Ruan has no intentions towards him, and he is truly grateful for saving her.

Thinking of the moment when Xiao Ruan was persuading Xiao Zhongheng to help him, Zhao Yan couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth, and when he looked at Huo Yuan again, he was even more displeased, and immediately shouted at him impatiently: "Not yet. Disappear before my eyes?"

At the same time, in a deserted courtyard of Prince Huai's Mansion, a little maid in red hurried into the room.

"Can you see clearly? That person is really Xiao Ruan?"

Xiao Ying stared closely at the little maid in front of her, almost gnashing her teeth to force out such a sentence.

However, as the muscles on her face trembled, the powder on her face fell off in a rustle, and her appearance was a bit terrifying.

The little servant girl didn't dare to look at her again, she hastily lowered her eyes: "Madam, this servant has already seen clearly, that person is really Xiao Ruan, and the concierge said she was specially invited by the prince."

specially?

Xiao Ying tightly clutched the veil in her palm, and there was another layer of hatred in her eyes, she stood up suddenly: "She came just in time, I can just go and peel off her skin, so that the prince can take a good look at this femme fatale. true colors."

Seeing that Xiao Ying was about to rush out, the little servant girl stepped forward to stop her: "Madam, Madam! Then Xiao Ruan has already left!"

left?
"Xiao Ruan, don't let me see you again! If it happens again, I will tear your face apart and let you taste what it's like to be disfigured!"

Xiao Ying paused, and the hatred in her eyes became stronger. She stood there for a long time, and finally squeezed out a very gloomy sentence to the void outside the door.

At this time, a ray of light from outside the door happened to shine on her face, and the little maid saw that her face covered with powder was getting more and more uneven, so she turned her face away again...

"Ruan'er, tell me the truth, have you been deceived by Zhao Yan? I remember that you and Zhao Yan were almost at odds in the past. What's going on today? You want me to help him?"

Xiao Zhongheng held back all the way, and as soon as he got back to Xiao's mansion, he couldn't help calling Xiao Ruan into his room.

"Brother, I'm sorry, Zhao Yan has always wanted me to marry you, but I really have no choice but to use you as an excuse..."

At this time, Xiao Ruan's face was full of guilt, and he no longer begged like he did in Zhao Yan's mansion.

In fact, the reason why she dragged Xiao Zhongheng into the water today was entirely on a whim.But when he thought of Huo Xun's reaction when he learned about this incident, he had [-] points of anticipation.

Huo Xun asked Zhao Yan to save him, didn't he just want Zhao Yan to see his sincerity?

That being the case, she will do whatever she can, cooperate well, and take this opportunity to test how much Huo Xun trusts her.

"You... I advised you not to go to see Zhao Yan alone, but you didn't listen... But that's good too, so that he won't pester you again."

Xiao Zhongheng intends to teach Xiao Ruan a few words, but the matter has come to this point, it is not good to talk too much about court affairs to Xiao Ruan, so he had to change the subject and let her have a good rest.

Seeing that Xiao Zhongheng didn't stay too long, Xiao Ruan breathed a sigh of relief and got up to send him away.

In fact, just now when Xiao Zhongheng was preaching to her, Xiao Ruan's nose felt sore, she wanted to explain clearly to Xiao Zhongheng, but worried that more people who knew would be detrimental to Huo Xun's plan, so she had to endure it.

Going over the scene when Xiao Zhongheng agreed to Zhao Yan in his mind, Xiao Ruan unconsciously clenched his palms.

Huo Xun, I hope you won't give Zhao Yan a chance!
