Chapter 361
Chen Rong fell to the ground with a plop after his arms were untied. Enduring the pain in his body, he crawled under Zhao Yan's feet and shivered.

"Tell me, what secret do you know about King Xia?"

Zhao Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and he squatted down, Ru Mo's eyes stared at the back of Chen Rong's head.

But Chen Rong swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, finally raised his face, looked around with evasive eyes, wondering if his body had reached the limit, opened his mouth, but his voice was very weak.

Seeing this, Zhao Yan squatted down enduring the sour smell.

Xiao Ruan was also curious about the secrets of King Xia, but Chen Rong's voice was extremely weak. From her perspective, except for seeing Chen Rong's mouth opening and closing, she couldn't hear what the other party said at all.

"My lord, what the villain said, there is no lie... As long as you act according to the villain's words... you will gain something..."

The blood on Chen Rong's body trickled down on the ground, and seeing his eyelids were about to close together, Zhao Yan suppressed the light in his eyes, and immediately said, "Why does King Xia want you to kill my wife?"

"This... this, the villain doesn't know..."

"How could you not know? Didn't he tell you?"

Before Chen Rong finished speaking, his head suddenly dropped to the ground. Zhao Yan didn't give up. He didn't care about the greasy blood on the opponent's body, so he directly grabbed his neck and questioned him in a cold voice.

However, Chen Rong only moved his eyelids, and there was no response.

Ling An stepped forward and tested Chen Rong's breath with his hands, then shook his head at Zhao Yan: "Your Highness, he has passed out, do you really want to let him go?"

Zhao Yan glanced at Chen Rong in the pool of blood with disgust, but he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Although Chen Rong told him a seemingly important secret, it might not be a lie, and what he wanted to know most was why Zhao Feng wanted to kill Xiao Ruan.

If the other party imprisoned Xiao Ruan, he could understand that the other party wanted to use Xiao Ruan to contain him, but he clearly ordered Chen Rong to kill him directly, which is really confusing.

Xiao Ruan has never been to Yunzhong before, and he has never met Zhao Feng at all, so why would he want to kill him secretly?
Lost and squinting, Zhao Yan raised his chin slightly, and a cold look flashed across his indifferent face: "Wouldn't it be too cheap to let him go? I heard that there is a man-eating snake in this mansion. You just have to worry about it." Just feed him to that snake."

"Yes."

Ling An was startled, and quickly understood Zhao Yan's intentions.

After Chen Rong was dragged away, only blood and minced meat remained in the execution room.Zhao Yan looked up and saw Xiao Ruan was staring at the pieces of meat on the ground and remained silent.Just now when Chen Rong said that the person who wanted to kill Xiao Ruan was King Xia Jun, Xiao Ruan was right behind him, and he believed that the other party must have heard clearly.

Zhao Yan subconsciously thought that Xiao Ruan's silence at this time was because he knew that the person behind the scenes was Zhao Feng, and there was a dark tide in his eyes, and he walked forward slowly.

"Ruan'er, I said that I will avenge you, so of course I won't break my promise. As for the uncle, don't worry, I will give you an explanation sooner or later."

Xiao Ruan listened to Zhao Yan's words, but did not respond immediately.He raised his eyes to look her up, and then said: "Even if King Xia doesn't help the prince anymore, do you still want to protect me?"

"Yes, I said that I will never let anyone bully you, even if it is the emperor's uncle, I will pursue it to the end. But..."

Zhao Yan's voice was firm, and just as he was about to reach out to hold Xiao Ruan in his arms, he suddenly remembered that Chen Rong's blood was on his hands just now, so he lowered his hands: "But to be on the safe side, it's better for you to eat and live with me .”

After Zhao Yanyu said, seeing Xiao Ruan raised his head suddenly, the expression on his face became more sincere, it seemed that he really only considered this for her safety.

But seeing that Xiao Ruan was still hesitant, Zhao Yan pursed his lips, and shifted his gaze to her stomach: "I don't think you want the child in your stomach to have the slightest mistake, do you?"

As soon as the child in her belly was mentioned, Xiao Ruan immediately calmed down with a wary face just now, but her voice was still hesitant: "That's what I said, but I don't..."

Before Xiao Ruan finished speaking, Zhao Yan immediately guessed her thoughts: "Don't worry about this, although I am not a gentleman, I will never do things that force you."

Don't you force me to do less?

Xiao Ruan thought secretly in his heart, hesitated for a moment, finally bit his lips and nodded lightly: "So, Ruan'er would like to thank the prince for his care."

"Being able to do things for Ruan'er is what I wish for, so you don't have to thank me."

An unconcealable secret joy flashed across his eyes quickly, and Zhao Yan immediately led Xiao Ruan out of the cell.

The torch was jumping on the dark wall of the cell, and Xiao Ruan followed closely behind her. What Zhao Yan never saw was the woman behind her who let out a long sigh of relief, with a guilty look in her eyes.

When entering the city today, Xiao Ruan asked Qin Zichuan why his surname was not Zhao but Qin, but the other party not only did not answer, but told her something that made her willing to return to Xiajun Palace.

He said that Huo Xun was ordered by the emperor to come to see Zhao Feng, and he would arrive in Mengcheng soon.

When Xiao Ruan heard the news, she immediately realized that Qin Zichuan's persuasion to return to the palace was indeed beneficial to her.

The one who wanted to harm her was King Xia, but the only one who could protect him was Zhao Yan.

If she wanted to get in touch with Huo Xun safely when he came to Mengcheng to meet King Xia, the best way was to stay with Zhao Yan and live in King Xia's mansion.

In fact, Xiao Ruan is very clear that her testimony against Team Leader Chen is full of loopholes.But Zhao Yan did not show the slightest doubt, and easily fell into her aggressive method. Could it be his stupidity?

No, not because of his stupidity, but because he wanted to believe in himself.

The most rare thing in this world is to gain the trust of others. Before in the capital, she and Huo Xun deceived Zhao Yan together. This person is still testing himself, but now, knowing that he lied, he still chooses to believe it.

Xiao Ruan was glad that Zhao Yan still trusted him, but when he thought about why the other party trusted him, he felt a little guilty for no reason.

The person Zhao Yan liked in the previous life was Xiao Ying. Even though Zhao Yan did something to hurt her family, Xiao Ruan knew very well that everything was only due to Xiao Ying's instigation, and she didn't have much hatred for Zhao Yan.In this life, she just wants to stay away from this person and give her feelings to someone who is truly worthy.

But in this life, I don't know what went wrong. Not only did Zhao Yan not fall in love with Xiao Ying, but he pursued him relentlessly.

At the beginning, she clearly realized that everything the other party did was just using her, but she didn't know when it started—maybe it was a time when this person risked his life to save herself, or she taught Huo Yuan and Team Leader Chen a lesson, or maybe it was Knowing that Huo Xun persuaded Zhao Yan to rebel...In short, Xiao Ruan had to admit that she hated Zhao Yan but also had other things that she couldn't explain...

No, no, Xiao Ruan, if it wasn't for him, how could you and Huo Xun be separated and unable to reunite?If it wasn't for him, why would you drag your huge belly and bump all the way here with him, worrying all day long that the baby in your stomach will be used by others?
Xiao Ruan kept comforting herself in her heart and finding reasons for herself. At some point, she suddenly felt that she and Zhao Yan had walked out of the dungeon.

The bright sun in the afternoon shone warmly on his body, instantly dispelling the cold feeling of the cell.

Xiao Ruan took a deep breath of the fresh air outside, and when she raised her head again, the clarity in her eyes was restored.

Zhao Yan in front had already pulled the carriage over, and the sunlight shone on his head, making the person's face hidden in the glare of the light so that he couldn't see clearly.

But seeing that the other party had already opened the curtain for her and wanted to help her, Xiao Ruan's eyes flashed, and he jumped into the carriage without waiting for him to approach...

"My lord, Xiao Ruan's words are full of loopholes. Why do you still believe her? Have you forgotten how she and Huo Xun teamed up to harm you?"

In Zhao Yan's study room, Huo Yuan's voice was sharp, and he talked about the reason why they failed to raise an army, but he didn't notice Zhao Yan's face that was getting darker and darker.

"Last time you didn't listen to my minister's dissuasion and insisted on going your own way, so you could only retreat to a small place like Yunzhong to live under someone else's fence. If you still refuse to listen to my minister's persuasion this time, I can say that this time we can only be defeated by Huo Xun. They were put in jail to die..."

"shut up!"

Huo Yuan's voice was harsh, even though Zhao Yan was already controlling his emotions, he couldn't help but interrupt him with a livid face in the end: "It's just a woman, why are you so afraid? Could it be that Master Huo even Don't you have any confidence?"

"My lord, it's not because I don't have confidence in that demon girl, but because I don't have confidence in you!"

Huo Yuan knew that Xiao Ruan had become an unspeakable existence in front of Zhao Yan.Every time he mentions this woman, his teeth itch with hatred, but there is always nothing he can do.

She is indeed different from ordinary women as I saw at first sight, she is extremely intelligent and quite capable.Even he couldn't help wanting to keep it for himself.

However, Huo Yuan knew very well that that woman Xiao Ruan was a cold-blooded and ruthless poisonous snake.No matter how good you are to her or how much you have paid, she can turn her face and deny anyone without hesitation.

"Xiao Ruan has ulterior motives. It's hard to guarantee that he has already met Huo Xun when he escaped from the palace this time. If she and Huo Xun think of some tricks again, wouldn't we be defeated again?"

"Master Huo doesn't have to worry about this, I'm sure she didn't see Huo Xun..."

Huo Yuan's guess is not that Zhao Yan didn't think about it, but he never believed that Huo Xun would send Xiao Ruan back when he saw Xiao Ruan, let alone that there were thousands of ways to deal with him, that Huo Xun would foolishly take his own child Make a bet with your wife.

However, Huo Yuan didn't think so, he interrupted Zhao Yan anxiously without waiting for Zhao Yan to finish speaking, his tone became more firm.

"My lord is currently trapped by love, and it is inevitable that there will be times when he is mistaken. With the bank note in Xiao Ruan's arms, it is clear that he has the heart to leave. Even if Team Leader Chen wanted to get rid of Xiao Ruan under the order of King Xia, he would not It cannot change the fact that this woman has always had an affair with you."
