The reborn poisonous woman is hard to abandon

Chapter 379
In the prince's mansion in the capital, the prince looked at the two people on the opposite seat with a solemn expression, and then he spoke suddenly after a moment's pause.

"Huo Xun sent the news that it has been confirmed that Zhao Yan is not dead. As we guessed before, he not only colluded with Zhao Feng, but also secretly contacted Bei Jiang. Now the emperor ordered this matter to be handed over to me. I wonder what you two adults have. suggestion?"

"Returning to His Royal Highness, when Huo Xun left Beijiang, he had sent a letter to the minister. As long as Duan Muyao came forward, Duan Muhao was very likely to give up the contract. The minister got the news that the princess' secret letter had been sent to the frontier. Then it can be passed on to Beijiang, and the danger of Beijiang will definitely be solved by then."

"Is there such a thing?"

The prince was surprised when he heard this.

Before they found out that Zhao Yan's confidant, Huo Yuan, had entered Beijiang, and judged that Zhao Yan was not dead, the emperor immediately sent eight hundred miles to rush, and secretly ordered Huo Xun to go to Beijiang as soon as possible to make peace with Duanmuhao.

It has been half a month now, but there is no relevant news. It is unexpected that Duanmu Yao has contributed during this period.

"Prince, I heard that Duan Muyao and Duan Muhao are the same mother. If the princess comes forward, even if Duan Muhao refuses to agree, we will hesitate. However, since Zhao Yan has already discussed with Zhao Feng in the cloud about rebellion , I think we should act first and take them down as soon as possible!"

After Lu Hanrui finished speaking, the crown prince immediately shook his head: "Master Lu is simple to say, but we don't know that Zhao Feng is powerful in the cloud. We don't have clear evidence now, and sending troops to arrest Zhao Feng rashly will definitely cause people's hearts to be unstable. I'm afraid it will take a long time." Think long term."

Mentioning the turmoil among the people, Lu Hanrui and Xiao Zhongheng immediately fell into deep thought.

Although the news from Huo Xun is reliable, Zhao Feng is deeply loved by the people because he guards Yunzhong all the year round, and in the eyes of all officials, he is also a model of diligence, loyalty and dedication to the country.

If they were suddenly encircled and suppressed in the name of treason, it would inevitably cause an uproar between the ruling and opposition parties.

However, according to Huo Xun's report, the other party has already planned in secret, if it cannot be caught by surprise, it will become a hidden danger in the future.

"Since there is no way now...Prince, since Zhao Feng and the others already have the intention of treason, why don't we force them to raise troops in advance?"

During the silence, Xiao Zhongheng suddenly spoke, and immediately attracted the attention of the prince and Lu Hanrui: "Could it be that Mr. Xiao has some clever plan?"

"I do have a plan!"

Xiao Zhongheng had a confident look on his face, and after whispering the plan, the prince was overjoyed, and the gloomy look on his face disappeared without a trace.

"Okay! Just as you say!"

……

In Mengcheng, Zhao Yan and Zhao Feng were standing in front of the map discussing the northward route when Ling An suddenly broke in from the outside.

"His Royal Highness is not well. There is news from the Beijing Central Newspaper that various ministries in the palace have begun preparations for the crown prince's enthronement. If there is no accident, the emperor will soon announce his abdication and the crown prince will ascend the throne!"

As soon as these words came out, both Zhao Feng and Zhao Yan showed shock.

Fortunately, Zhao Feng was well-informed and calmed down quickly: "Where did you get the news, why doesn't this king know about it?"

Ling An seemed to have expected that he would ask this question a long time ago, and immediately took out a secret letter from his arms and handed it to Zhao Yan, saying solemnly: "This letter was sent out by a secret stake in the palace at a risk. There will be mistakes."

Zhao Yan looked at the contents of his heart, and the corners of his mouth immediately curled into a straight line: "Yes, the news was indeed sent by a hidden pile in the palace. I am afraid that the emperor will really give up the throne to Zhao Han!"

After Zhao Feng took the envelope and scanned it quickly, his eyes also turned black.

If the news is true and the crown prince succeeds normally, the plan between him and Zhao Yan may come to nothing. How is this possible?

"It seems that we have to act in advance!"

In the dullness, Zhao Feng suddenly spoke, and Zhao Yan turned his head and glanced at him, with a quick ruthlessness across his face: "Since they are pressing each other step by step, don't blame me for being rude!"

"Your Highness wants to..."

Ling An heard the abnormality, and suddenly raised his head, met Zhao Yan's resolute eyes, and his heart trembled: "This subordinate will go down and make arrangements!"

Dark clouds rolled over the gloomy sky, and there was darkness between the sky and the earth.Amidst the roar of thunder, thousands of troops and horses in the mid-air suddenly moved out, and the heavy rain poured down, as if to suppress all the hustle and bustle of the world.

As the heavy rain raged, the entire Qingshan Temple became blurred. Xiao Ruan leaned against the door frame and remained silent. In the distance, only the majestic Daxiong Palace showed an unclear outline in the rain.

At this moment, a person holding an umbrella suddenly rushed in from the outside, and the rain dripped down her clothes, leaving a puddle of water at her feet after a while.

"Ma'am, this servant just heard about a big event!"

With the sound of rain, Pei'er touched the water stains on her face, she didn't care whether Xiao Ruan heard it clearly, she gasped and said: "The emperor in Jingzhong was poisoned, everyone said it was the prince who did it. Poison, now that King Xia is going to lead his troops to the north, what kind of king is he going to clear?"

After Pei'er finished speaking, a thunderous sound suddenly exploded in the ears of the two of them, Xiao Ruan's heart shook, and she almost suspected that she had heard it wrong.

"My servant heard that everyone is vying to go north with His Highness, madam, do you think we..."

Pei'er didn't finish her words, Xiao Ruan understood what she meant.

Once a war breaks out, men only think about making contributions, while women think about having a safe place.Pei'er was probably worried about her parents at home, so she asked her about her next plan.

Pei'er was worried that Zhao Yan would punish him, so she followed her to Qingshan Temple.And Xiao Ruan thought that he would become her helper, so she didn't object. Now that the war broke out, all she cared about was her family.

Since she can't stay, it's better to let her go.

"Since the prince has already said that he wants to go north, our place is naturally a safe place, but if you want to leave, I will not stop you."

"Slaves don't mean that..."

Pei'er was guessed about the central matter, and immediately showed embarrassment, and quickly shook her head to deny it, but Xiao Ruan gave her a noncommittal look, and left directly.

Back in the room, Xiao Ruan immediately showed a hint of anxiety on his calm face.

When she was in the palace, she had expected that Zhao Yan might rebel in the near future, but she never expected that it would happen so soon.

Furthermore, the emperor was far away in the capital, surrounded by countless people guarding him, and he was suddenly poisoned to death. It was obvious that he was poisoned by someone familiar with him, and the person who poisoned him was most likely Zhao Yan's remnant party.

Zhao Yanqi's troops were naturally well prepared, but he didn't know if Huo Xun passed these on to Beijing, and did the Prince and the others think of any countermeasures?
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the rainwater rolled down the eaves, forming a transparent bead curtain in front of the window, and the whole Qingyun Temple seemed to be shrouded in a layer of white mist.

The monk's diet was light, but the food he sent to Xiao Ruan was still very rich, but Xiao Ruan frowned and had no appetite at all. .

The sky was getting dark, but the rain still didn't mean to stop. It was pitch black outside the window, and no one could be seen.

In the dim oil lamp, Xiao Ruan listened to the rumbling thunder with his ears sideways, but couldn't sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, there were several crisp knocking sounds on the window sill. Xiao Ruan suddenly sat up and listened quietly for a while, then immediately went to the window and opened it.

Unexpectedly, Huo Xun's familiar figure was outside the window.

"You, why are you here at this time?"

Xiao Ruan hurriedly invited him into the room, but seeing that he was wearing black night clothes with water stains all over his clothes, he immediately went to find a towel to wipe him.

Huo Xun grabbed Xiao Ruan and prevented her from leaving: "No need, pack up quickly and leave with me."

"You... how..."

Huo Xun's tone was firm, and Xiao Ruan suddenly understood that the purpose of Huo Xun's coming today was to take him away: "How can this be done? I have already told you that I can't leave..."

"Ruan Er, listen to me, Zhao Yan will go north in a few days, I am worried that he will take you away, and then it will be difficult for me to rescue you, so take advantage of the slackening of the guards tonight, hurry up and follow me leave!"

Xiao Ruan had already heard about the rebellion between King Xia and Zhao Yan from Pei Er during the day, and now from Huo Xun, she instantly understood what the other party was thinking, but when she thought of the child, she still chose to reject it. .

"Sanggong, I can't do this. Our child is now in Zhao Yan's hands. He is the flesh that fell from my body. How can I bear her being killed by Zhao Yan?"

In the dim light, Xiao Ran gently shook his head with a bitter face, although there was deep reluctance for Huo Xun in his eyes, but more determination.But Huo Xun grabbed her hand again, with a firm tone: "Zhao Yan will not kill Yuan'er easily."

But seeing Xiao Ruan raised his eyes in surprise, Huo Xun explained: "I have sent people to look for Yuan'er's news, but they can't find it. The reason why I want to save you is to force Zhao Yan to expose you. Yuan'er's trail!"

"You...you are..."

A hint of confusion flashed across Xiao Ruan's eyes, but he quickly figured out Huo Xun's plan, but he didn't look happy at all.

Now Huo Xun can't find Yuan'er anywhere, if she suddenly disappears, Zhao Yan will definitely transfer his anger to the child because of his anger.

In this way, the child may be able to find it, but it is more dangerous.

"You don't have to worry about this. I will secretly send someone to follow Zhao Yan. As long as he goes to see our child, he will save the child no matter what the price is."

Seeing Xiao Ruan's doubts, Huo Xun raised his hand to caress Xiao Ruan's cheek: "Ruan'er, you believe me, Yuan'er is also my child, and I naturally don't want him to be hurt in the slightest. Although this method is a bit dangerous, but I really can't think of a better way than that."

Facing Huo Xun's guilty eyes, Xiao Ruan became more and more hesitant.

Now that the child's life and death are unknown, it seems that the only way to find his traces is to take a risky approach.

A dark color flashed in his eyes, Xiao Ruan shook hands tightly, and finally nodded to the expectant man opposite.

"I'll listen to you."
