Le Zhao and Le Yi looked at Huxin with eyes full of jealousy.
Originally, a representative from Xuan Yuan Ling, the Heir of the Gu Family Hong Ye, came to stir up trouble, bringing along the Vajra Furnace. Now, with Liu Yuren stepping in to support, how could Le Zhao and the others not feel jealous and angry?
"Xuan Yuan Ling, you should hold onto the Vajra Furnace you just tricked from the Gu Family. Otherwise, if you burn your own hands, it won't be as simple as being mad. You are merely acting on someone else's behalf and shouldn't risk the lives of hundreds at the Heir's residence for this."
Inside the Palanquin, Liu Yuren sipped Fragrant Tea calmly. Each word he spoke was sharp and carried an inexplicable aura of menace. No wonder he was known as the Young Celestial General who had guarded the Border Defense for fifteen years; every action exuded a sense of composure and experience.
Huxin was surprised that even from such a distance, Liu Yuren could hear what Xuan Yuan Ling said.
With bright eyes, she glanced again at the Palanquin, where only a shadowy figure remained, surrounded by lingering sandalwood fragrance, revealing nothing of its true form.
Seeing that Liu Yuren had already made his point clear, Jing Tian'ao understood that even when they reached Weiyang Palace, with Liu Yuren's silver tongue and Xuan Yuan Ling's obstinacy, the Emperor would surely give Liu Yuren face and spare Xia Huxin. However, by then, both Jing Tian'ao and the Empress Dowager would lose their own dignity.
Jing Tian'ao couldn't help but narrow his cold eyes and moved to stand in front of Huxin.
Mo Tong was cold and expressionless.
"Xia Huxin, our relationship was originally based on the Empress Dowager's favor and an agreement for the lantern festival. Now that you refuse to repent..."
"What does Prince Ping want with a lantern festival agreement? If Huxin remembers correctly, that agreement is for next month! Today, in front of the Empress Dowager and everyone else, I will make it clear to Prince Ping! Not only next month but even the month after that or even in another lifetime! I, Xia Huxin, do not wish to have any further dealings with you, Southern Ping Wang! If I still have even a shred of affection for you, let me be like this bracelet!"
As Huxin finished speaking decisively, she removed the pure gold bracelet from her wrist and, before anyone could react, threw it directly into the Vajra Furnace held by Xuan Yuan Ling.
In an instant, the dazzling golden bracelet that had just shone brightly turned into a wisp of blue smoke. The gold flowed out slowly from a small hole at the bottom of the Vajra Furnace, transforming into liquid gold, shocking everyone present.
Most people in the courtyard were witnessing the power of the Vajra Furnace for the first time.
The Vajra Furnace was made from naturally formed molten stone over hundreds of millions of years. Aside from diamonds and black gold, any other material placed inside would meet a swift end.
Jing Tian'ao's eyes turned cold and dark in an instant.
Xuan Yuan Ling shifted his gaze from the smoking Vajra Furnace to Huxin, his bright eyes reflecting a hint of contemplation.
Huxin casually clapped her hands and stepped forward, closing the distance to Jing Tian'ao by half a step. Her eyes sparkled with a mocking smile as she leaned in slightly, speaking in a voice only she and Jing Tian'ao could hear.
"Prince Ping, what did you think of me, Xia Huxin, before? Everyone on the Vast Continent knows who I am. I am the future princess chosen for you by the Emperor. If you dislike me, you could simply say so clearly instead of resorting to such schemes. Since you haven't rejected me to my face, it means you acknowledge that I can take on the position of princess in the future, to elevate your status and pave your way in politics. It's just that..."
At this point, Huxin's tone shifted, her eyes flashing with brilliance as her voice became almost ethereal.
"It's just that do you know, as a man, if you treat your future wife as a Queen, then you are the Emperor! If you treat her like a princess, at least you're still a prince! But if you treat her like a maid or servant, then you are nothing but a eunuch!"
