At this moment, the happiest person must be Xuan Yuan Ling.
First, he was praised by Huxin as a handsome guy. Although the term sounded unfamiliar, it was definitely a compliment. Seeing Huxin's cold attitude towards Gu Xuanhong and Liu Yuren, Xuan Yuan Ling was thrilled.
"What's the information? Don't just stand there like fools! What happened to Wei Dong?" Huxin asked the two with a frown.
Gu Xuanhong glanced at Huxin, his eyes flickering with complex emotions, while Liu Yuren pondered for a moment before relaying all the information he had gathered about Wei Dong to Huxin.
As soon as Huxin heard that the Empress Dowager was impersonated by Nie Jing'er, he immediately understood the cause and effect of the situation.
The most shocked among them was Xuan Yuan Ling.
Although he was still young when Nie Jing'er came to the Xuanyuan Family, he vividly remembered what that woman had done. She did not want him, Xuan Yuan Ling, to inherit the Heir title, so she secretly plotted against him. Fortunately, Xiahou reacted in time and informed his family patriarch in advance.
He never expected that the woman survived the fall!
"It seems that Nalan Mingqing really wants to destroy Vast Continent!" Huxin muttered to himself.
Nalan Mingqing had completely overturned everyone's previous views and impressions of him. What kind of deep-seated hatred drove him to go to such lengths?
If it were merely a desire for power and obsession, Nalan Mingqing had no need to seek distant opportunities while ignoring the fertile land of the Western Regions. He traveled all the way to the capital to stir up trouble.
He had no connections or foundation here. Given the current situation, once Gu Xuanhong and Liu Yuren joined forces, with Xiahou and Xuan Yuan Old King backing them up, Nalan Mingqing would undoubtedly face defeat.
Knowing it was a path with no chance of victory, why would he still choose to walk it?
Could it be that he harbored a notion of wanting to perish together even if he ultimately failed?
Nalan Mingqing's purpose for coming here is too strong; if he doesn't find the reason that is pulling him, he will inevitably do something even crazier.
The originally spacious cell now feels a bit cramped due to the presence of Gu Xuanhong and Liu Yuren.
Huxin still stands by the window, contemplating the next course of action. The moonlight spills in, illuminating her delicate and exquisite face, exuding an indescribable sense of ethereal clarity.
Although Gu Xuanhong and Liu Yuren have long understood that she is no longer the Xia Huxin of the past, this current version of Xia Huxin possesses a charm that has never been seen across the entire Vast Continent.
Xuan Yuan Ling noticed someone staring at his Huxin with rapt attention, and he couldn't help but feel frustrated inside. However, he maintained a facade of indifference, treating Gu Xuanhong and Liu Yuren as if they were invisible.
Though Xuan Yuan Ling gives off an impression of being wild and unruly, after years of refinement in a noble family, he is deeply cunning at heart.
"Huxin, it's so late. Don't just stand there; it's late and damp. Sit down and rest for a while. Some problems can't be figured out immediately; sometimes it's better not to think about them. After a good sleep, you might find clarity on everything!"
As Xuan Yuan Ling spoke, he approached Huxin from behind. Just then, Huxin turned to look at him, her clear eyes sparkling with an inexplicable allure that struck deep into his heart.
"Okay. I'll rest now." As soon as Huxin said this, Xuan Yuan Ling's eyes lit up, feeling a sudden sense of being unexpectedly favored.
This girl actually has moments when she listens obediently?
How unbelievable!
Gu Xuanhong and Liu Yuren's expressions shifted slightly before they quickly returned to calmness.
"You three please leave; I need to rest," Huxin's words afterward left Xuan Yuan Ling feeling extremely frustrated.
"Girl, it's them who should go out. I came in with you, how can I leave?" Xuan Yuan Ling had intended to send Gu Xuanhong and Liu Yuren away, but unexpectedly got caught up in it himself.
Huxin spoke in a lukewarm tone,
"Men and women should keep their distance, especially with so many cells here. You can find any room to rest. If you keep delaying, it will be dawn soon. Should I go to sleep or not?!" At this moment, Huxin had a tone that left no room for negotiation, making Xuan Yuan Ling feel both angry and helpless.
"Huxin, but I came in with you, I..."
Xuan Yuan Heir was still struggling in his final moments.
"Is there a rule that those who come in together must stick together at all times? You said it yourself, you voluntarily accompanied me in, so the initiative is in my hands. You can kneel down now, little lord."
When Huxin said the last sentence, even the usually calm Liu Yuren couldn't help but chuckle.
Gu Xuanhong smirked and then let out a hearty laugh from his chest.
Xuan Yuan Ling inexplicably turned beet red and angrily stormed out of the cell.
You heartless Girl! I risked everything to stay here with you, and you actually mocked me in front of Gu Xuanhong and Liu Yuren! You, you, you!
Seeing Xuan Yuan Ling rush out of the cell like the wind, Liu Yuren reined in his smile and looked at Huxin with increasingly gentle and serene eyes.
"Girl, I know you have your own thoughts. You're temporarily staying here, and surely by tomorrow, things will change in this capital. But I, Liu Yuren, guarantee that as long as I'm here, whether the heavens change or the earth shifts, I won't let the sky above you change even a bit. I keep my promises!"
Liu Yuren stared intently at Huxin, his eyes filled with determination mixed with an unexplainable emotion, as if he was contemplating something.
After Liu Yuren left, only Gu Xuanhong remained standing across from Huxin.
Huxin knew very little about this legendary figure, Gu Family Hong Ye, whose wealth was said to rival that of the nation. Her closest encounter with him had been that one time on the Cloud-Top Palanquin when she bumped her head.
In Huxin's impression, he was a man who appeared cold on the outside but was warm on the inside, clever and cunning. At a young age, he managed the entire Gu Family Empire, and only he understood the blood, tears, and hardships that came with earning his reputation alongside the nation.
She would not judge his true character based solely on the seemingly harmless Gu Xuanhong before her.
Noticing Huxin staring at him, Gu Xuanhong raised an eyebrow slightly and spoke in a lazy and elegant tone, "After listening to Liu Yuren's solemn vows, what are your thoughts?" He maintained his noble and languid demeanor, as if unperturbed even by a mountain collapsing before him.
It was hard to associate him with the strong and assertive leader of the Gu Family Empire.
Huxin smiled nonchalantly. "Other people's solemn vows have nothing to do with me if I choose not to accept them."
She was speaking the truth.
Liu Yuren made his vows; she listened, but whether she remembered them was her own business. Liu Yuren had no say in it.
"Then what are your thoughts?" Gu Xuanhong asked again. This time, he had waited until the end to seek this answer.
