Due to Jing Tian'ao's words, Le Zhao and the others felt a sense of reassurance. Previously, Empress Dowager protected Xia Huxin while Prince Ping turned a blind eye. Now, these two had joined forces to bring Xia Huxin to her demise! Even if Xuan Yuan Ling went mad and threw a tantrum, it would be of no use.
At this moment, Huxin calmly glanced aside. Although the man who once captivated that foolish woman was close at hand, she was no longer the Xia Huxin of the past! She would never again have any lingering affection for Jing Tian'ao before her.
For a man who would push a deeply loving woman into despair and disregard her life, he was simply not worth even a glance from Xia Huxin! Let alone any feelings of admiration! Let him be the Spring and Autumn Grand Dream!
"Tsk tsk! I didn't expect Prince Ping to truly wield his sword to sever emotional ties! Such a lovely Sister Huxin, how can you bear to trample on her heart like that? How can one be so cruel? The heavens have compassion for life! You can't bully someone just because she's easy to talk to!" Xuan Yuan Ling said mockingly to Jing Tian'ao, his expression still as arrogant as ever.
Xuan Yuan Ling's demeanor unexpectedly reassured Huxin. Although he had a history of madness, today he seemed reliable. Since he had confidence, she decided to observe the situation for now.
"Xuan Yuan Ling! Your roundabout talk today is meaningless! This King will speak plainly! Everything is based on the grievances of the souls at Weiyang Lake and Liang Family Pleasure Boat! Xia Huxin made the first mistake! Empress Dowager brought out Ling Zi Ling afterward! Since the Great Ancestor Emperor created the Lingyun Token and Ling Zi Ling a hundred years ago, it was meant to warn future generations to adhere to rules! Empress Dowager, as the respected matriarch of the harem, has spoken; her words are unchangeable! How can she retract them? If so, where are the rules? Where is the dignity of the royal family? What about the lives of over a hundred people in your Heir's residence?!"
Jing Tian'ao said as he slowly pulled out a pale yellow Lingyun Token from his bosom!
Ling Zi Ling symbolizes royal grace, while Lingyun Token is a sacred object reserved for princes throughout history.
Huxin's lowered gaze turned even colder.
What a sinister and ruthless Jing Tian'ao! He invoked Empress Dowager and the Great Ancestor Emperor, and in the end, threatened Xuan Yuan Ling with the lives of over a hundred people in Heir's residence! Moreover, he flaunted the Lingyun Token! That foolish woman’s death might actually be considered a blessing! If only she had been reborn into a common family, far away from such treachery; otherwise, in today's situation, the former Xia Huxin would have surely wished she were dead!
The Lingyun Token shimmered under the sunlight with dazzling brilliance. This was the first time Jing Yushan had seen it up close, and his expression stiffened further.
Xuan Yuan Ling merely scoffed and did not even spare a glance at the Lingyun Token.
"I see that today Prince Ping is really not planning to let Sister Huxin go. Since that's the case, there's only one way to go down together! Before This Young Master came here, Gu Family Hong Ye gifted me a treasure, and I didn't expect to use it right now! I think today in the Imperial Garden, it's not just going to be a bloodbath! Instead, it's going to be a scene of destruction! This Young Master is truly committed to this deadlock today! If I can't protect Xia Huxin today, then I can only destroy the Dual Absolute Order! I've brought the means to destroy the Dual Absolute Order with me."
Xuan Yuan Ling said as he pulled out a small golden incense burner from his pocket. The base was black, intricately carved with dragons and phoenixes in rare gold.
"Vajra Furnace?" Huxin murmured softly, a glimmer of excitement quickly flashing in her eyes.
Isn't this something from her own home? She never expected to see it in Xuan Yuan Ling's hands after crossing over a thousand years!
Seeing something she used to handle easily in modern times, how could Huxin not be excited? She would have to find a way to get this Vajra Furnace! Even just looking at it brings back fond memories!
When Xuan Yuan Ling heard Huxin's words, he couldn't help but look at her with confusion.
He had just taken this Vajra Furnace out from Master Hong today; it was also his first time seeing it. How did Xia Huxin know about it?
"Huxin, you say this is the Vajra Furnace?" Jing Yushan pointed at the small golden burner in Xuan Yuan Ling's hand, his expression growing increasingly complex.
Meanwhile, Jing Tian'ao narrowed his cold eyes and remained silent. The back of his hand holding the Lingyun Token turned pale and cold, veins bulging. A surge of anger seemed to have no outlet.
The gaze of the Grand Empress Dowager also fixed intently on the Vajra Furnace in Xuan Yuan Ling's hand. Instinctively, she picked up the Ling Zi Ling from the table and held it tightly, fearing that in the next moment, this Ling Zi Ling would be thrown into the Vajra Furnace and turned to ashes!
After all, what crazy or foolish thing could Xuan Yuan Ling, with his erratic temperament, not do?
