Throughout history, princes have held power while heirs served as support. However, Xuan Yuan Ling, this heir, reprimanding Jing Tian'ao and Jing Yushan, demonstrates the significant position of the Xuanyuan Family within the Jing Family Dynasty. Xuan Yuan Ling only appears mad and foolish when his illness strikes; otherwise, he is undoubtedly a lightning bolt in the hearts of everyone in the Jing Family Dynasty, capable of striking unexpectedly.
At this moment, Jing Yushan's eyes were clouded with thick mist. He parted his thin lips and said calmly, "Today, this prince remains silent because I know Sister Huxin will be fine. Huxin is blessed and has repeatedly turned misfortune into good fortune. Regardless of whether it is man-made or otherwise, she will be safe, and I will ensure that nothing happens to her."
After Jing Yushan finished speaking, he clearly did not wish to entangle himself further with Xuan Yuan Ling and turned away expressionlessly.
Xuan Yuan Ling crossed his arms and coldly laughed behind him, saying, "This young master does not have as many grandiose words to deceive people as the Third Prince does. This young master only knows that this incident was man-made. The Third Prince cannot deny that he played a part in it to achieve his own goals, deliberately turning human actions into calamities!"
The last sentence from Xuan Yuan Ling carried a hint of mockery. Jing Yushan's departing figure did not pause for a moment; only the large hand hidden beneath his wide sleeves clenched into a fist, the back of his hand turning pale with coldness.
After Xuan Yuan Ling and Jing Yushan left, the group of women in the garden found it quite dull. They had been waiting to witness a bloody spectacle at the noon gate but ended up witnessing a confrontation between the imposing Liu Yuren and Prince Ping, Jing Tian'ao.
The women felt jealousy and resentment; how could such a great figure as General Liu Yuren from Vast Continent stand up for an insignificant Xia Huxin? Where was the justice in that? They murmured their dissatisfaction and left one after another.
Once only Le Zhao and Le Yi remained in the garden, Le Zhao stared at the jade bracelet on Le Yi's wrist and spoke sarcastically.
"Sister, you’ve accepted Consort Yu's bracelet yet are still gazing longingly at General Liu's palanquin? Do you still have feelings for him? Five years ago, his subordinates said all sorts of unpleasant things to you! You really are indecisive! Just be content being Prince Ping's side consort! As for General Liu… do you still dare to covet even a fraction?!"
As Le Zhao finished speaking, she angrily flicked her flowing sleeves and turned to leave in the direction where Liu Yuren had gone, leaving Le Yi blushing in embarrassment.
...
After Huxin boarded Liu Yuren's palanquin, the carriage steadily made its way through the garden. However, halfway through their journey, they saw court officials and military leaders streaming out towards the nearby Weiyang Palace.
The emperor's personal eunuch De Gonggong hurriedly ran to Liu Yuren's palanquin among the crowd of civil and military officials. With a swift sweep of his feather duster in hand, he bowed respectfully and said,
"General, Master Hong has arrived. The Emperor is currently enjoying the first pot of Tieguanyin tea with Master Hong. He finds it too noisy with all the Court Officials and Military Leaders gathered inside, so he has instructed the officials to wait in Qianqing Palace for the banquet to begin. The Emperor requests that you proceed to Weiyang Palace to join him for tea."
De Gonggong finished speaking and took a small step back, waiting for Liu Yuren to respond.
"I have no prior acquaintance with Master Hong, so I will not disturb the Emperor and Master Hong's tea time. I will enter the palace later," Liu Yuren said calmly and composedly. His tone did not sound like that of a subject refusing the Emperor's invitation; even Huxin, who was in the carriage behind, felt a wave of embarrassment upon hearing it.
Liu Yuren's independent demeanor would be considered that of a big shot in modern times!
As Liu Yuren's words fell, beads of sweat began to trickle down De Gonggong's forehead.
"General, I... I can't explain this to him."
"Go back, Gonggong. Let's set off," Liu Yuren's calm voice floated out from the carriage, carrying an irresistible authority.
The palanquin turned steadily under De Gonggong's cold sweat. When it reached the carriage where Huxin was seated, Liu Yuren's voice emerged again, this time with a lighter tone.
"Today, let Miss Xia replace me in going to Weiyang Palace for tea. What do you think, De Gonggong?"
What? Let her replace him to go into the palace and have tea with the Emperor and Gu Family Hong Ye? Huxin broke out in a cold sweat again!
What scheme was Liu Yuren plotting? It was truly perplexing! It seemed that Xuan Yuan Ling's earlier warning had been justified!
Whether Liu Yuren was a wolf or a tiger was hard for her to say, but from what she could see now, he was certainly more than just a simple military general.
