As the words fell, Xuan Yuan Ling swaggered up to Huxin, his arrogant expression making De Gonggong's heart race. He quickly plastered a smile on his face and approached with a whisk.
"Xuan Yuan Ling, what are you doing here? You may not know, but Chancellor drank quite a bit at Weiyang Palace earlier. You should..."
"What?! You mean the old man drank again?! I'm really fed up with him! Doesn't he know that drinking herbal medicine and alcohol don't mix? Drink, drink, drink! He's so greedy for that sip of wine!" Before De Gonggong could finish his sentence, Xuan Yuan Ling let out a roar, already looking like he was about to explode.
De Gonggong secretly breathed a sigh of relief but maintained an expression of helplessness.
"Xuan Yuan Ling, to be honest, when the Chancellor left, he was swaying all over the place. Several people couldn't even hold him up. You see..."
"Enough, De Gonggong! This Young Master can see through your little schemes! You come here just to bring up the old man to me! Don't you want This Young Master to enter Weiyang Palace? Fine, I won't go in! It's not some rare place! When have I ever not come and gone as I please? I'm not here to see that monster Gu Hongxuan! I just have a few words to say to Sister Huxin."
Xuan Yuan Ling wore an unwilling and sarcastic expression on his face, but there was an undeniable hint of worry and tension in his eyes. Despite his usual reckless and arrogant demeanor, when it came to matters involving the Chancellor, Xuan Yuan Ling was absolutely serious. His father had been drinking heavily for over ten years, and Xuan Yuan Ling had worried about it countless times.
De Gonggong had keen insight and naturally dared not say anything else at this moment. Everyone in the Vast Continent knew about the Mad Prince's power. Once provoked... he could easily set the Imperial Garden ablaze.
"Xuan Yuan Ling can speak freely with Miss Xia; this old servant will take my leave," De Gonggong said cautiously.
The fact that De Gonggong, who held such a prominent position beside the Emperor, was so afraid of Xuan Yuan Ling piqued Huxin's curiosity about what Xuan Yuan Ling looked like when he went mad to instill such fear and concern in others.
Xuan Yuan Ling snorted disdainfully and said, "Old fellow, you don't need to go anywhere. This Young Master isn't saying anything shameful. Every word I say is for Sister Huxin's good."
With that, Xuan Yuan Ling turned his head and fixed his gaze on Huxin.
"Sister Huxin, I previously said that Liu Yuren is a wolf, tiger, and leopard, and that was no lie. But that monster Gu Xuanhong in Weiyang Palace is the most insidious smiling nine-tailed fox in this Vast Continent! That monster is countless times more treacherous than Liu Yuren!" Xuan Yuan Ling's expression was not joking.
He had interacted with Gu Xuanhong quite a bit, and just thinking about Gu Xuanhong's treacherous nine-tailed fox-like face made Xuan Yuan Ling feel an overwhelming sense of frustration.
Huxin listened to Xuan Yuan Ling's words, merely raising an eyebrow and smiling without saying anything.
Seeing this, Xuan Yuan Ling felt even more frustrated; the previous arrogance on his face had completely vanished. At this moment, he resembled a big boy who had lost his beloved toy, with all his annoyance and irritation written on his face.
Noticing the light smile on Huxin's face, yet seeing the unfathomable mist in her eyes, Xuan Yuan Ling wished he could lay bare his heart for her to see, to make her believe what he was saying.
"Xuan Yuan Ling, it's getting late. If we delay any longer, the Chancellor will have left the palace. It's chaotic outside, and the Chancellor has been drinking; you should go over early to look after him..."
De Gonggong saw that Xuan Yuan Ling had no intention of leaving, while Huxin was just quietly listening. As the sky darkened, De Gonggong thought about Gu Family Hong Ye and Wansui Ye waiting inside, and cold sweat began to trickle down his back again.
Xuan Yuan Ling furrowed his brows; the look in his eyes for a moment reminded De Gonggong of ten years ago when Xuan Yuan Ling had gone into a frenzy. It seemed that since then, he had never seen such a look from Xuan Yuan Ling again.
Was Xuan Yuan Ling in this state today because of Xia Huxin?
