As Huxin's words fell, a cold light flashed in Jing Tian'ao's eyes, landing fiercely on Huxin's face, as if he could no longer maintain his previous cold and ruthless demeanor.
In his twenty years of life, this was probably the first time someone had described him as a eunuch.
"Haha!"
A hearty laugh rang out from in front of Huxin, carrying a mix of defiance and carefree arrogance. It was clear that it was Xuan Yuan Ling's exaggerated and unrestrained laughter.
Even Jing Yushan rarely showed a clear smile.
Not far away, someone inside the Palanquin trembled slightly with the white jade cup in hand. The Hidden Guards surrounding the Palanquin exchanged glances, unable to believe that their usually immovable master, who resembled a statue, could actually... smile?
"Xia Huxin! Don't be so arrogant! Don't think that just because someone is protecting you, you can say whatever you want?!"
Jing Tian'ao clearly did not expect that Xia Huxin, who had always been relentlessly pursuing him, would say such resolute and mocking words. Had this woman truly given up on him to the point of becoming someone entirely different?
Huxin merely smiled indifferently, taking a large step back. Now that she had said what needed to be said, she intended to keep a certain distance from this shameless man.
"Prince Ping, why get angry? We are both unmarried; isn’t it better to have everything out in the open? From now on, we will go our separate ways. Every time I encounter you, Prince Ping, I will do my best to avoid you! And you, Prince Ping, need not trouble yourself with your own delusions!"
Huxin spoke freely and confidently. With Liu Yuren and Xuan Yuan Ling backing her up, Huxin understood the connections involved with the Xia Family and the balance of interests among various noble families. Since someone was protecting her today, she would take this opportunity to completely sever her ties with Jing Tian'ao!
"Xia Huxin!" Jing Tian'ao's cold eyes narrowed dangerously; his expression changed completely due to Huxin's words about his self-delusion.
Jing Tian'ao's body stiffened, just as he was about to take a step forward, Liu Yuren's voice once again calmly came from the Palanquin.
"The time is getting late, let's set off." Although he did not name anyone specifically, everyone could tell from his tone that he was speaking to Huxin.
Though his voice was calm and unruffled, it left no room for doubt.
Huxin glanced towards the Palanquin, but her feet did not move an inch.
Someone waiting inside the Palanquin spoke again, "Xia Huxin, I'm talking about you!"
This time, the usually calm voice carried a slightly heavier tone, leaving the Hidden Guards around the Palanquin stunned once more.
Had the master ever needed to repeat himself?
"Oh. Understood." Huxin replied leisurely with a nod. She had been waiting for Liu Yuren to say this; after all, she had no understanding of Liu Yuren and needed to wait for a definite answer before taking action.
Just as Huxin reached the front of the Palanquin, it slowly began to move. Huxin lowered her gaze and quietly followed behind it as the group silently left the Imperial Garden. Their departure was seamless, as if Liu Yuren had never appeared outside the garden at all.
In a brief moment, when the Palanquin disappeared from everyone's sight, the Empress Dowager cast a complex glance at Xuan Yuan Ling before coldly waving her hand, not wanting to say a word. She turned and left the garden with the support of her personal eunuch. The palace maids and guards kneeling on the ground let out a long breath, cautiously raising their heads. After serving the Empress Dowager for so many years, it was their first time witnessing her in such a rage.
Jing Tian'ao closely followed behind the Empress Dowager, his gaze coldly fixed on Huxin's departing figure.
Jing Yushan turned to glance at Xuan Yuan Ling, who was holding the Vajra Furnace, seemingly wanting to say something but ultimately swallowed his words. The mist in his eyes lingered, making it impossible to discern his true thoughts.
Xuan Yuan Ling had a nonchalant and defiant expression as he casually tucked the Vajra Furnace into his arms. He turned to meet Jing Yushan's hesitant gaze and scoffed dismissively, saying loudly,
"Doesn't the Third Prince usually give people the impression of being kind-hearted and approachable? Especially regarding Sister Huxin's matters, hasn't he always been at the forefront, charging ahead? Why is he so meek this time, not even daring to speak a fair word! Tsk tsk! It seems the Third Prince's countless schemes... should be coming to an end, right?"
