Chapter 341 I Have Two Requests
As night fell, the table was already full of dishes, but Xiao Ruan had no appetite when he raised his chopsticks.

Glancing at Tweet beside her, Xiao Ruan's eyes flickered with darkness, and she suddenly put down her chopsticks heavily.

"Madam, could it be that tonight's meal is not to your liking?"

Seeing this, Tweety immediately stepped forward to inquire with concern, and then called the people outside to remove the food from the table and redo it.

Xiao Ruan watched silently as Tweety asked people to clear away the food on the table, but her heart was like a mirror, and she realized more and more that she had no privacy here.

She just talked too much with Pei'er in the afternoon, so Tweety ordered someone to transfer Pei'er to the outer courtyard, as if to prevent contact between the two of them.

"Where is His Highness Duke Huai now? I want to see him."

After Xiao Ruan found out that Nanjun Palace was not a place where he could easily escape, he felt that it was necessary for him to have a talk with Zhao Yan.Zhao Yan usually goes to her room to eat with her during three meals a day, but he didn't come tonight for a long time.

Cui'er didn't seem to expect that Xiao Ruan would take the initiative to ask to see Zhao Yan, she was stunned for a moment before saying: "Mrs. Huai, His Highness Duke Huai will have a banquet with Duke Xia tonight, and I'm afraid I won't be able to see you until later."

banquet?

Xiao Ruan keenly extracted the key points from Tweety'er's words, her eyes flickered slightly: "It's okay, I'll just wait."

Zhao Yan returned to his yard smelling of alcohol, and couldn't help asking when he saw Huo Yuan.

"How are you getting in touch with those old ministries in central Beijing?"

"My lord, Beijing has been searching for Xiao Ruan's traces, and the security is tight everywhere. I dare not contact them rashly."

Because Huo Yuan was wearing a mask that was too eye-catching, he kept a low profile by Zhao Yan's side on weekdays and did not show up in front of others easily. Even King Xia never attended the banquet.

At this time, he saw Zhao Yan's face was in danger, secretly guessing that he must have been ignored at the banquet again, so he replied and stopped making a sound.And Zhao Yan became more and more irritable when he heard it, he slapped his hands on the table heavily, and his breathing became a little heavier.

"The old department in central Beijing can't be contacted, and here is the power of King Xia Jun, so the great cause of this king will have to wait until the year of the monkey!"

Zhao Yan had nowhere to go when he came to Yunzhong at first, and the situation was urgent at that time, the queen only said that if he went to the place in Yunzhong, he would be rescued.

The fact is, just like what the queen said, Duke Xia did save him, but the other party just took him in, and he couldn't use the other party's power to do anything for himself.

Now he can't get in touch with the remaining forces in the capital, and King Xia's words are ambiguous, even if he wants to ask the Queen about the deal between her and King Xia, there is no way.

Thinking of Huo Yuan's analysis before, Zhao Yan became more worried.After a while, he finally raised his head and looked at the man opposite: "Is there any news from the North Jiang Kingdom?"

As if infected by Zhao Yan's emotions, Huo Yuan's voice became a little deeper: "I haven't received Xuan'er's reply yet... who is outside!"

Huo Yuan finished speaking halfway, then suddenly turned his head and yelled at the door.With a flash of silver light, the object in his hand rushed towards the window.

With an exclamation, Zhao Yan and Huo Yuan quickly opened the door and walked out, and suddenly found that the woman outside was Cui Er, who was guarding Xiao Ruan.

Zhao Yan sized Tweety'er for a moment, then said coldly, "What are you doing sneaking around here!"

As soon as Cui'er walked to the door of Zhao Yan's room, she heard a sound of piercing through the air, but saw a silver dart flying past her eyes, and hit the pillar with a "bang", she was so frightened that she lost all blood. .

Facing Zhao Yan's gloomy eyes, she got up on the ground tremblingly, and explained with a panicked face: "Slave, this servant is not sneaking around, it's the madam, it's the madam who wants to see the prince..."

"Where is madam now?"

Zhao Yan stared at Tweety closely, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.Looking in the direction of Tweety'er's finger, she really saw Xiao Ruan holding a lantern standing under the steps not far away.

For a while, the condensed look on his face gradually eased.

Zhao Yan was extremely surprised by Xiao Ruan's appearance, and the boredom just disappeared in an instant, and immediately walked towards her, and said in a gentle voice, "Ruan'er, why are you here so late?"

Xiao Ruan waited for a long time but did not find Zhao Yan, so she simply asked Cui Er to bring her to find him.It's just that the moment he saw Huo Yuan, a cold look appeared on his face.

This was the first time she saw Huo Yuan after she passed out in Qianyun Mountain.

She remembered very clearly the scene when Huo Xun was forced down the cliff, it was Huo Yuan who was holding up a long knife and was about to chop on Huo Xun.

"I don't know if the prince has time, I want to talk to you alone."

Suppressing the hatred in his heart, Xiao Ruan turned his gaze to Zhao Yan and spoke extremely calmly.

"Ruan'er makes an appointment, this king naturally has plenty of time."

Without noticing Xiao Ruan's small movements, Zhao Yan immediately followed her to a deserted place in the yard.

"Didn't the lord want me to stay by your side? I have two conditions, as long as you agree to me, I will agree to stay by your side."

Xiao Ruan's voice seemed to be mixed with ice, but Zhao Yan's eyes immediately flashed with light.

"Ruan'er, as long as you are willing to stay by my side, let alone two conditions, I will agree to a thousand or ten thousand conditions!"

After forcing Xiao Ruan that day, Xiao Ruan became more and more indifferent, and he also felt extremely regretful, deliberately pretending that what happened that day never happened, but he still didn't dare to stay in her room for too long.

The only thing I can only be happy about is the news from Tweety that Xiao Ruan has started to cooperate with the doctor for treatment.

Zhao Yan knew that the reason for Xiao Ruan's change was that he had some hope after knowing that Huo Xun was not dead, but he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As long as Xiao Ruan doesn't ask for death, he doesn't care who she cheers up for.And as long as Xiao Ruan stays by his side, Zhao Yan believes that one day she will forget Huo Xun and truly accept herself.

"Are you serious about what you say?"

Xiao Ruan did not expect that Zhao Yan would agree so readily, glanced at a certain black figure still standing under the eaves from the corner of the corner of the eye, and reconfirmed.

"It's rare that you are willing to stay, how could I not agree to you?"

Zhao Yan looked at Xiao Ruan affectionately, but a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

God knows how important this woman is to him. He can even forgive the other party for deceiving him, so why would he care about a few small requests?

At this moment, he was even thinking that if Xiao Ruan wanted his life, he might agree without hesitation.

In the dark night, Xiao Ruan naturally did not see the self-mockery on Zhao Yan's face, she paused for a moment and said immediately: "First, I want you to ensure that I give birth to the child smoothly, and you are not allowed to hurt him. Second, I want Huo Yuan's life .”

Hearing this, Zhao Yan frowned immediately.

"Now that your pregnancy is approaching, even if you don't tell me, I will invite the best stable woman in the city to help you deliver the baby, but Huo Yuan..."

"Why, didn't the lord just agree with it just now, is he planning to go back on his word now?"

Before Zhao Yan could finish speaking, Xiao Ruan sneered.The ending sound of Shangchao seemed to say "Look, I knew you couldn't do it" in Zhao Yan's ears.

"I don't want to go back on my word, it's just that Huo Yuan is now... well, I promise you."

Huo Yuan is the only counselor left by Zhao Yan's side now, and he will never kill him.But seeing Xiao Ruan snorted coldly and turned her head to leave, Zhao Yan hurriedly called her to stop.

"I promised to give you Huo Yuan's life, but not now. After you give birth to the child and marry me, I will let you kill him yourself."

The grievances between Xiao Ruan and Huo Yuan have not lasted for a day or two, even on the way to go to King Xia, Huo Yuan tried to kill Xiao Ruan several times.

But if Huo Yuan is killed now, not to mention that Northern Jiangguo can't take advantage of it, even if Xiao Ruan repents, he has nothing to do.The current plan can only temporarily stabilize Xiao Ruan, and gradually plan for it in the future.

Worried that Xiao Ruan would not agree, Zhao Yan paused for a moment and then said: "Ruan'er, it's not that this king doesn't believe you, but you have to express it a little bit?"

express?

Xiao Ruan could see Zhao Yan's thoughts at a glance, and knew what his expression meant, but after hesitating, he nodded and agreed resolutely.

"Since that's the case, please don't forget what you promised me, my lord."

After saying that, Xiao Ruan immediately left with the lantern in his hand without looking back, while Zhao Yan looked at Xiao Ruan's gradually distant back, suddenly fell into deep thought, tightly pursed the corners of his mouth and remained silent for a long time.

"My lord, if you want to get in touch with the capital as soon as possible, I just thought about it for a while, but I thought of a way."

Hearing Huo Yuan's voice suddenly, Zhao Yan realized that Huo Yuan had come to him at some point.

Notice that he was also staring at the direction Xiao Ruan left, a dark color flashed across Zhao Yan's eyes, and he said slowly: "What can you do?"

"Now everyone in the capital knows that you have subdued the law, but the vigilance has not dissipated. In fact, it is to find news about Xiao Ruan. As long as we kill Xiao Ruan and throw his body into the wilderness, it will solve the problem... "

While Huo Yuan was talking, he suddenly felt a scorching gaze staring at him firmly, and his voice became weaker: "My lord, don't get me wrong, I really think this is feasible."

"Huo Yuan, I have warned you many times that you are not allowed to think about Ruan'er again, don't think that this king can't see your little thoughts!"

Zhao Yan stared at Huo Yuan coldly, and suddenly understood why Xiao Ruan insisted on killing Huo Yuan.If he had such a person who wanted to put him to death all the time, he would just kill them all, and he would never allow them to dangle in front of his eyes.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Yan suddenly remembered what he had promised Xiao Ruan just now, and finally said slowly: "From today on, you take care of yourself and don't appear in front of Xiao Ruan easily again."

Although Huo Yuan didn't know Zhao Yan's intention of asking him to do this, he vaguely guessed that all this was inseparable from Xiao Ruan's departure just now.

A dark color flashed in his eyes, Huo Yuan looked towards the direction Xiao Ruan was leaving, his gaze stayed on her and Zhao Yan for a moment, he finally gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.
