In the carriage, Yan Ran and Xiao Zun sat opposite each other, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was quiet and weird.

"I was demoted to guard the imperial mausoleum, and overnight, I changed from a superior to a subordinate person, which even I found difficult to accept. But she never gave up, dragging a sick body to accompany me, encourage me, and support me. Later, we escaped, hiding incognito in the countryside to avoid the pursuers. I went out to farm, and she stayed at home and washed her hands and made soup for me. She would make me the glutinous rice dumplings that I liked to eat, and she had to cook the rice by herself without a person. Her body was so weak that she would have fallen ill even if she blew a little more wind, but in order to give me a good meal, she held such a heavy pestle that it would take all day long......"

Xiao Zun suddenly opened his mouth, recalling the bits and pieces of getting along with Cui Jingyi endlessly.

Now that I think about it, those times of poverty and embarrassment that he once hated have become the best memories in his heart.

Yan Ran was silent and quietly became a listener.

Xiao Zun said a lot, and finally turned into a helpless and bitter sigh: "I never thought that she had paid so much for me, and in the end it was all a show." For in her heart she hated me unto death. ”

Yan Ran finally couldn't help but ask, "Why do you think that she won't hate you when you killed her own sister?" ”

Xiao Zun seemed to be stimulated by this sentence, his eyes were red and he looked at Yan Ran, and his tone was fierce: "The person who killed Cui Jingshi was you, not me!" ”

Xiao Zun really doesn't understand, obviously the person who killed Cui Jingshi was Yan Ran, why did Cui Jingyi take revenge on him?

Yan Ran looked at Xiao Zun coldly, her eyes full of contempt: "You took a fancy to the power of the Cui family, so you seduced Cui Jingshi and ruined her reputation, but you abandoned her after the Cui family lost power." The person who really hurt Cui Jingshi and ruined her life was you. ”

Xiao Zun was annoyed and angry, and pounced on him.

Suddenly, the carriage shook violently, and Xiao Zun was thrown aside.

Someone outside shouted, "Oh no, there's an ambush!" ”

Then, the sound of swords colliding sounded, and it seemed to be in a scuffle.

Xiao Zunmeng looked at Yan Ran, with a cold chill and a faint mockery in his eyes: "It seems that the cousin you miss in your heart doesn't care about you so much." ”

Yan Ran's heart moved, cousin is back?

It turned out that Xiao Zun used Yan Ran's life as a threat to force Zhang Yunzong to open the palace gate, and Wen Rongan's elite soldiers listened to his orders and planned to attack the imperial city tonight.

Unexpectedly, they set up an ambush halfway, and they didn't care about Yan Ran's life at all!

Xiao Zun was angry at the same time, but he felt very happy, Yan Ran taunted him all the way, and now he was finally able to fight back.

In his heart, power is more important after all. It's a pity that you've been abandoned. ”

Yan Ran said calmly: "He is not for power, but for his family and country." ”

Xiao Zun saw Yan Ran's hard mouth, and felt more and more that she was forced to be calm, and her heart was even more happy: "No matter what it is for, you are the one who was abandoned." ”

Finally seeing Yan Ran's face slightly stiff as he wished, Xiao Zun became more and more proud: "Do you think I will put all my chips on you?" I had long expected that they might pretend to meet and set up an ambush in secret. In order to capture me, they should have called in most of their forces. In this way, as long as the troops here are contained, the road to the palace will be unimpeded. ”

Sure enough, the sound of the fight had faded away, and the surroundings were calm again, with only the sound of horses' hooves and wheels turning.

It seems that Xiao Zun pretended to be ambushed, but in fact he changed his route.

Yan Ran said: "Don't waste your efforts, you won't be able to enter the palace." ”

Xiao Zun's cold eyes narrowed slightly: "What?" ”

Yan Ran paused slightly, and then said, "Cui Jingyi didn't lie to you, the poison on your body is indeed incurable." ”

Xiao Zun put away his nonchalant look, sat up straight, and looked at Yan Ran with a grim gaze.

Yan Ran was not afraid, and said slowly: "So, I have given you detoxification in the past few days, and you feel that your body has improved, but in fact, you are just suppressed by the toxicity, but you should understand that the more ruthless the suppression, the more ruthless the backlash will be......"

Xiao Zun was suddenly furious, but there was fear and panic in the thick anger.

He became murderous, grabbed Yan Ran's neck, slowly put his five fingers together, and the expression on his face became hideous and terrifying: "Then you can bury me with you!" ”

However, Yan Ran just looked at him coldly, unmoved.

Facing Yan Ran's calm and calm look, Xiao Zun became more and more flustered, intending to increase the strength in his hands.

However, he was suddenly horrified to find that he could no longer use his strength.

Xiao Zun's hand slowly let go, but Yan Ran approached him at this time and put her hand into the placket of his clothes.

The warm and delicate skin touched, but what brought Xiao Zun was not a heart, but the fear of dying.

Xiao Zun knew what Yan Ran was going to do, but he was powerless to stop it.

Yan Ran effortlessly pulled out the needle that sealed the acupoints on Xiao Zun's body.

Xiao Zun immediately seemed to have been drained of all the strength of his body, lying in the carriage, bleeding from his mouth and nose, and a layer of blood mist floating in his eyes, his internal organs were like being twisted by a sword, and the extreme pain made him unable to even make a sound.

Xiao Zun suddenly understood why Yan Ran was calm and calm from beginning to end.

Because in Yan Ran's eyes, he is just a dying man, who would be afraid of a dead man?

Yan Ran turned Xiao Zun's body over, quietly looked at his expression of pain and struggle, and slowly spoke: "I have thought of many ways to kill you in order to make you feel the ultimate pain. But now, without my hands, you already feel it. ”

"I never expected that a selfish and selfish person like you would deliver a sincere heart. But it is precisely because of this that you can experience the most painful feelings in the world, and nothing is more heart-wrenching than the betrayal of a loved one. ”

"You'll die on the way to the palace, just one step away from the location you've dreamed of for the rest of your life, but you'll never get there."

"Remorse, grief, regret, unwillingness, you will end your life of sin with such emotions, and die a sad death."

Every word Yan Ran said was like a knife, sprinkling salt on Xiao Zun's already festering wound.

The severe physical pain and the complete collapse of the psychological defense line made him suffer from the double torture.

In a trance, Xiao Zun suddenly felt lucky, because he was going to die soon, otherwise he would definitely go crazy.

"The prince fainted from poison, and he must be treated immediately, otherwise his life is in danger!"

Yan Ran opened the car door and shouted loudly to the person driving.

There were two guards outside, and when they heard the sound, they looked inside the car, only to see Xiao Zun's eyes tightly closed, and his face covered with blood, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

They started tonight, and they were already fighting against the water, where would they have thought that when they kicked the door, the person in charge fell first.

This is equivalent to on the battlefield, the boss is killed, and everyone has no backbone for a while, and they don't know what to do.

At this time, the pursuers caught up, and they didn't care about what to do, running away and fighting at the same time.

During the fight, an arrow feather hit the horse pulling the cart.

Instead of falling, the horse was furious by the sudden pain, and galloped wildly.

The driver was thrown out, and Yan Ran also hit the wall of the car hard.

She endured the pain and struggled to look out, but she was shocked.

The carriage was already very close to the palace, and was rushing straight in the direction of the palace gate.

The palace gate was closed, and in front of the palace gate, a group of soldiers was already lined up and set up two rows of bows and crossbows.

As soon as the carriage came into firing range, they would fire all the arrows and never let them cross the thunder pool.

Yan Ran waved her arms and shouted loudly that Xiao Zun was dead, but the distance was too far for anyone to hear.

If she rushes over like this, Yan Ran will only be shot into a sieve, and she can't sit still.

But the carriage was moving very fast, and if she jumped at this time, she was afraid that she would be killed or injured.

Yan Ran looked at Xiao Zun, who had lost his breath, and pushed him out with great effort, planning to use him as a meat pad to jump off the carriage, at least there was a glimmer of life.

At this moment, a familiar figure came into Yan Ran's eyes, it was Wen Rong'an!

He rode after him, dressed in armor, until he reached the horse that was driving, grabbed the horse's mane, jumped and jumped onto the horse's back.

He used all his strength to grasp the reins, and forced the horse to change direction, and the carriage spun in front of the palace gate and ran in another direction.

Xiao Zun's body had been thrown out, and Yan Ran could only cling to the car window to prevent herself from being thrown away.

Zhang Yunzong also led people to chase after him, threw out the hook and hooked the body, and pulled it tightly.

Seeing this, Wen Rong'an drew his knife and cut the rope that bound the wheels, and the horses were separated from the carriage.

Due to the external force, the carriage came to a steady stop, but the mad horse continued to run.

The startled horse turned into a narrow alley, Wen Rongan could only turn his body sideways, and Xuanjia rubbed all the way over the wall, wiping sparks.

Without Yan Ran, Wen Rongan no longer had any scruples, and swung a fist and hit the horse's head hard.

After a few punches, the horse finally slowed down and fell to the ground with a bang.

Wen Rongan took the opportunity to jump down and landed steadily beside him.

After Yan Ran was rescued, she was helped out of the car by Zhang Yunzong.

She was dizzy and her steps were vain, but she didn't care about the discomfort, and stumbled towards the direction Wen Rong'an left.

After Wen Rongan resolved the crisis, he immediately turned back.

As soon as he walked out of the alley, he saw Yan Ran running towards him.

He suddenly felt his heart warm, his eyes were slightly sour, and he quickly stepped forward to catch Yan Ran and hugged her tightly in his arms.

The back of Wen Rong'an's hand was still bleeding downward, and he was contaminated with blood in the fight, and the cold iron armor was like ice.

But Yan Ran just felt that this embrace was very warm, which made her extremely dependent and at ease.

"Cousin......"

She called out a sentence weakly, and her body went limp, and she fell into the crook of Wen Rong'an's arm.
