Huxin quickly shifted her gaze, turning to look at Jing Yushan, who was squinting at her. Jing Yushan had been watching the intertwined gazes of Huxin and Jing Tian'ao as usual, but unexpectedly, in the next moment, her eyes intruded into his line of sight without any warning.
Her eyes, usually misty, suddenly found a clear opening and fell into his gaze for an instant, causing him to momentarily lose control of his focus.
After his gaze missed its target, Jing Tian'ao looked at Huxin with a clear flash of surprise in his eyes.
At the same time, two pairs of eyes beside Huxin were filled with jealousy and reluctance, lingering between Jing Tian'ao and Huxin. They soon concealed their jealousy and blended into the crowd.
The Grand Empress Dowager visibly relaxed upon hearing Huxin's words. Her phoenix eyes turned to Jing Yushan, revealing a hint of reproach and complex emotions.
Jing Tian'ao remained expressionless as he retracted his dark gaze. He picked up the white jade cup beside him, his long, cool fingers lightly tapping the rim of the cup. With each tap, the white porcelain, which was like jade, was easily overshadowed by the brilliance of his slender fingers. Even in silence, this man possessed a charm that drove women across the world to madness.
How could the former Xia Huxin ever catch his eye?
As Jing Tian'ao's fingers continued to tap on the rim of the cup, the already cold air around him became even thinner.
"This King remembers that there are Peonies in Peony Garden," Jing Tian'ao's words caused the Grand Empress Dowager's previously relaxed expression to freeze once more. She knew that Tian'ao disliked Huxin, but did he really have to threaten her life with such words?
Huxin's eyes merely flickered lightly. In the next moment, Jing Yushan wore a faint smile like smoke and spoke calmly,
"Whether there are Peonies in Peony Garden is something Huxin and I truly do not know. Didn't Fourth Brother say so? Father Emperor forbids anyone from entering there, so how could we know whether it blooms with Peonies or something else? Isn't that right, Huxin?"
At this critical moment, Jing Yushan once again came to Huxin's aid. The cooperation between the two seemed flawless as they supported each other perfectly.
Jing Yushan and Jing Tian'ao are the children of Queen and Consort Yu, respectively, but they receive entirely different treatment. The Emperor favors Consort Yu and extends that affection to Jing Tian'ao, which is well-known throughout the court. However, between Jing Yushan and Jing Tian'ao, there is a superficial estrangement, while behind the scenes, they are constantly in conflict.
Over the past few years, Jing Tian'ao's Ping Wang Faction and Jing Yushan's San Ye Party have been secretly battling fiercely! They are just one step away from tearing off the last piece of cover that hides their true intentions.
Huxin nodded in agreement with Jing Yushan's words, appearing obedient and compliant. When she caught sight of the Grand Empress Dowager's somewhat skeptical gaze, she suddenly remembered that her current host had once been a frivolous and reckless person who was not easy to manage. Relying on the Grand Empress Dowager's favor, she had often acted arrogantly in the palace. Now, being so doubted by Jing Tian'ao, how could she simply nod and let it go?
Previously, Xia Huxin had been infatuated with Jing Tian'ao; would she really lose her temper?
Huxin was at a loss for how to behave next.
While pondering this, she noticed Jing Tian'ao's cold gaze falling on her face. Within that icy demeanor lay a deep and unfathomable chill, as if there was also a fleeting moment of distraction.
"The matter of the Peony Garden is trivial; however, three days ago, Xia Huxin kicked Liang Taiyun and broke seven of his ribs. This matter..."
