With Jing Yushan throwing Jing Tian'ao into the spotlight at Weiyang Lake, the atmosphere on site changed once again.
However, for Huxin, this shift may not be good news.
Jing Yushan merely dragged Jing Tian'ao into the fray without clearing her of the accusations of letting a snake bite. This time, Jing Tian'ao clearly intended to put her in a perilous position, and the reaction of the Empress Dowager was also difficult to decipher. For Huxin, who had only a month’s worth of memories, every step ahead was fraught with tension.
Both an enemy and a friend, it was now hard to distinguish.
Just as confidence flickered in Jing Yushan’s eyes, the cold and ruthless Jing Tian'ao unexpectedly curled his thin lips into a leisurely smile.
Once bearing a cold and gloomy expression that overshadowed all the charming young ladies in the garden, Jing Tian'ao suddenly revealed a mysterious smile, causing the young ladies who were infatuated with him to shyly gaze at him, each one clutching their handkerchiefs, captivated by his smile.
Only Huxin’s eyes were like still water, calm and unruffled.
Her lowered gaze sparked a hint of confusion in both the Empress Dowager and Jing Yushan. They could only see her lightly biting her thin lips, reminiscent of her usual stubbornness after making a mistake. Because they could not see her expression at that moment, both the Empress Dowager and Jing Yushan felt uncertain.
“This King did indeed go to Weiyang Lake that day…” Jing Tian'ao spoke coldly at this moment.
Jing Yushan’s eyes brightened.
The hand of the Empress Dowager, holding a white jade cup, paused momentarily.
Everyone else in the garden held their breath, afraid to miss a single word spoken by Jing Tian'ao.
Only Huxin stood there with lowered eyes, quiet to the point of being frightening.
Jing Tian'ao's dark eyes coldly swept across Huxin's cheek again, a fleeting hint of confusion flashing in his gaze.
"After all... This King is here with the Lingyun Token bestowed by Father Emperor. To see the Lingyun Token is to see the Great Ancestor Emperor. Back then, the Great Ancestor Emperor created this unique Lingyun Token in the Vast Continent to negotiate national defense strategies with the Four Great Families without violating his own rules! With the Lingyun Token for protection, what place can This King not go?"
The last three words were spoken very softly by Jing Tian'ao, but the more shallow they were, the heavier the scar they left on Jing Yushan's heart!
It was enough to change Jing Yushan's expression.
A trace of gloom flashed in Jing Yushan's eyes as he lowered his gaze and fell silent. At this moment, only he understood the disappointment and jealousy in his heart.
How could he have anticipated that Father Emperor would give the Lingyun Token to Fourth Brother! Ever since the Crown Prince passed away fifteen years ago, Father Emperor had sealed the Lingyun Token, and he had never heard of it being taken out again. Now, it was quietly given to Fourth Brother, how could Jing Yushan not feel a mix of emotions?
At this moment, Jing Tian'ao was even less inclined to give Huxin any chance to breathe.
"Empress Dowager also knows that Liang Taiyun is set to marry Nalan Xiaoying next month. With such a big incident occurring at this critical moment, if the marriage of the Liang Family cannot proceed and Liang Taiyun becomes half a cripple, the Nalan Family would be pleased as their daughter can seek a better match. However, the Liang Family is adamant that this matter was instigated by certain people in the palace, leading to Xia Huxin. If we do not deal with Xia Huxin, it will be hard to quell the suspicions of the Liang Family, won't it, Empress Dowager?"
After finishing this statement, Huxin truly wished she had an axe to split open his head and let his blood splatter!
She had seen treachery before, but she had never encountered anyone like Jing Tian'ao, who pretended to be righteous while meticulously laying traps and playing with sinister intentions.
