Chapter 545: She Must Be ExecuExecuted

Nangong Xiao walked up to Huo Hannian, his malicious eyes sweeping across the cup in his hand.

She snatched it over and curled her lips into a cold arc.

With a bang, he smashed the cup onto the ground.

His gaze swept past Huo Hannian and landed on Wen Ruan’s beautiful face.

He walked over and pinched Wen Ruan’s little face.

When Huo Hannian saw this, he was about to make a move when the guard holding the gun shouted angrily,” Don’t move!”

Wen Ruan’s long eyelashes fluttered.” Don’t worry about me.”

Her mind was in a state of chaos. Under such circumstances, she couldn’t think about what had gone wrong that made Nangong Xiao feel that something was wrong!

Nangong Xiao squeezed Wen Ruan’s fingers with great force, almost crushing her jaw.

Wen Ruan gasped in pain.

Nangong Xiao’s face was so dark that water could drip from it.” Wen Ruan, what a good one. So this is your purpose for entering the palace!”

Nangong Xiao let go of Wen Ruan’s chin and raised his hand.” Search her.””

Betty stepped forward and searched Wen Ruan’s body.

He found two medicine bottles and a silver needle.

The accompanying doctor smelled the contents of the medicine bottle and almost lost his mind.

Since Nangong Xiao could sit on the throne of the Lord, he was naturally not someone to be trifled with. He quickly understood what was in the medicine bottle.

He had also guessed who he had been with during the S Group’s anniversary celebration.

He slapped Wen Ruan’s face hard.

Wen Ruan fell to the ground, her face burning with pain. The corner of her mouth was torn. She covered her face and looked up at Nangong Xiao.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Huo Hannian, who was about to attack Nangong Xiao. She was so scared that her heart was in her throat.

If Huo Hannian really moved Nangong Xiao, they would be beaten into a sieve.

Perhaps he had considered the consequences, but Huo Hannian endured it and clenched his fists.

Nangong Xiao pointed at Wen Ruan’s nose and said furiously,” How dare you play tricks right under my nose!”

If it wasn’t for the Empress Dowager’s certainty that Wen Ruan was different from other women and that she had a motive for dancing, Nangong Xiao would not have known that she was suspecting his identity!

The old king’s maid was the empress dowager’s maid. She had secretly watched Wen Ruan take the cup away. Once Wen Ruan left, she immediately reported it to him.

Thinking of Wen Ruan’s repeated resistance after entering the palace, Nangong Xiao quickly understood that she had no intention of staying in the palace at all. She came in with a purpose!

He was so audacious at such a young age!

Leaving it alive would also be a disaster!

Nangong Xiao ordered with a gloomy expression,” Lock them in the dungeon!”

..

Wen Ruan and Huo Hannian were locked up in a dark and damp dungeon. This was where the most important criminals of the royal family were locked up. There was no need to go through legal means. Nangong Xiao had the right to execute them directly.

Nangong Xiao had already given the order to execute the guards at midnight.

Wen Ruan’s face was completely drained of blood. She looked at Huo Hannian, who was locked up in the cell opposite hers, and tears welled up in her eyes.” I’m the one who harmed you. You must have a way to save yourself, right?””

Huo Hannian looked at Wen Ruan, who was teary-eyed. His jaw tightened and he said in a hoarse voice,” Don’t cry! I’ll think of a way to get out and save you!”

Wen Ruan nodded.” You must take good care of yourself.””

At dawn, a guard came in and took Huo Hannian out.

Wen Ruan looked at his back and put his palms together, praying that he would be able to get through this safely.

There was a special execution ground in the royal family. The guard who had an affair with Princess Ya last time was also shot dead there.

When they were about to reach the execution ground, Huo Hannian suddenly pressed the switch on his watch.

He shot one of the guards who was holding him unconscious, and before the other guard could react, he struck him unconscious.

He quickly ran towards Nangong Han’s palace.

His watch had a communication function. When he was locked up in the dungeon, he contacted his people.

When he ran to Nangong Han’s palace, Huo Hannian’s men gave him a set of clothes. After he put it on, he took off the human skin mask and walked into Nangong Han’s palace.

Nangong Han was still watching the movie and drinking red wine in the living room. She was in a good mood when she found out that Wen Ruan had been captured and thrown into the dungeon. She could not fall asleep for a while.

Princess, Young Master Leng is here.”

“What?”

Nangong Han turned around and saw Huo Hannian walking into the living room. A happy smile appeared on her pretty face.” Brother Hannian, it’s so late. Why are you here?””

Huo Hannian’s lips curled up slightly.” I just came back from a business trip abroad and missed the old king’s birthday banquet. I was afraid that you would be reprimanded, so I specially came to see you.”

Upon hearing Huo Hannian’s words, Nangong Han’s face instantly lit up.

She held Huo Hannian’s arm, her eyes shyly.” Really?” Brother Hannian, I didn’t expect you to care so much about my feelings now!”

Nangong Han leaned her face into Huo Hannian’s arms. Hearing his heartbeat, the smile on her face deepened.

At this moment, a group of guards barged in.

” How dare you!” The princess’s palace was empty.” How dare you barge in!””

The leading guard said respectfully,” Princess, we are investigating the guard who had an affair with Wen Ruan. May I ask if you have seen anyone suspicious?” Before he could finish his sentence, he saw the man standing behind Nangong Han with his back facing them. The leading guard shouted angrily,” You, turn around!””

Nangong Han saw that the guard was being so disrespectful to Huo Hannian. She said angrily,” Who are you talking to? He is the Young Master Leng of the Sborne Family, and also my future son-in-law!”

Huo Hannian slowly turned around, revealing his handsome face that looked like it had been carved by the heavens.

It really was Young Master Leng!

The guards lowered their heads.” I’m sorry. I misunderstood Young Master Leng.””

Nangong Han waved her hand, signaling the guards to leave.

The guards were about to leave when Nangong Han stopped them again.” What did you just say? The guard who had an affair with Wen Ruan ran away?””

“Yes, someone saw him running towards the princess ‘palace.”

“I was in the living room the whole time and didn’t see any guards break in. Maybe you’re mistaken.”

..

In the Lord’s palace.

The leader of the guards came over to report to Nangong Xiao that the guards who had escaped had been captured and executed.

Nangong Xiao waved his hand, signaling for the guards to leave.

The Empress Dowager looked at Nangong Xiao, who was feeling uneasy, and said with a dark face,” What are you still hesitating for? That woman is suspecting your identity. Why are you keeping her?””

Nangong Xiao placed his hands behind his back, his expression dark.” Mother, I can’t kill her so easily.”

“Do you not want to execute her easily, or do you not want her to die?”

Nangong Xiao’s face darkened as he paced back and forth in the hall.” I know what I’m doing!”

When the Empress Dowager saw this, she did not say anything more.

She returned to her palace and called the old nanny over. A hint of viciousness flashed across her old eyes.” Send a cup of wine to Wen Ruan in the dungeon. I want to get rid of that scourge for Xiao ‘er!””
