The Vast Emperor was so furious at Huxin's attitude that he was blowing his beard and glaring, even resorting to threats.
Huxin felt speechless.
What a dignified ruler! How imposing and strict he appeared in the Golden Throne Hall, yet who would have thought he could be so casual in private.
"Ah... Your Majesty, Miss Xia just went through quite a scare in the Imperial Garden. Although she survived a great danger, she was still quite frightened. Let's not hold her accountable for these ceremonial details today."
While Huxin remained silent, Gu Xuanhong's ethereal voice softly spoke up, each word clearly considering her feelings.
The Vast Emperor paused slightly, his beard twitching rapidly, and the anger on his face dissipated entirely due to Gu Xuanhong's words.
Just a moment ago, he had been glaring at Huxin; now he looked at Gu Xuanhong with a warm and gentle expression.
"Xuanhong Brother, you’ve finally repaid the favor owed to Old Man Xia today!"
The Vast Emperor said this, and Huxin's lowered gaze flickered slightly. It seemed that Xuan Yuan Ling's appearance today was indeed at Gu Xuanhong's suggestion. However, in the end, she still benefited from her own old man's influence.
Gu Xuanhong's gaze quickly swept across Huxin's face as he smiled and said, "The favor owed to Old Man Xia has only been repaid halfway; Liu Yuren also played a part in saving Miss Xia today."
"Him?" Upon hearing Liu Yuren's name, the expression on the Vast Emperor's face turned cloudy again.
"Why doesn't he just go die?"
Vast Emperor After these words were spoken, Huxin felt a sharp twitch at the corner of her eye and looked up at the smiling and silent Gu Xuanhong.
Their gazes intertwined; his eyes, cunning and enchanting like a fox, offered her a serene clarity reminiscent of a lotus flower, while hers were veiled in a thin mist, revealing a hint of fearless stubbornness amidst the haze.
The smile in Gu Xuanhong's eyes deepened imperceptibly at this moment.
Vast Emperor's gaze swept over Gu Xuanhong before finally settling once more on Huxin's face. He snorted lightly through his nose and said coolly,
"You foolish Girl, what do you think about today’s events regarding the Empress Dowager?"
There was an obvious double meaning in Vast Emperor's words. Huxin lowered her head, looking flustered, and murmured,
"Empress Dowager... quite good."
"Good my foot! If you really got executed today, would you still say it was good?! Even if you are a dull-witted foolish Girl, you should have some bottom line as a person! All you know how to say is that it’s good! Your infatuated nature really resembles that of the late Xia Yingba!"
Vast Emperor shot another fierce glare at Huxin. The Xia Yingba he mentioned was naturally Huxin's biological father, whom she had yet to meet—a man who controlled everything from behind the scenes and was the spokesperson for the Xia Family, the leading family among the Four Great Families, which had allowed Huxin to pass through today’s ordeal unscathed.
Seeing that Huxin remained silent with her head down, Vast Emperor turned the topic back to the taciturn Gu Xuanhong.
"Xuanhong Brother, what do you think about today’s events...?"
Vast Emperor was clearly being ambiguous, asking not only about the reaction of the Empress Dowager, but also inquiring about Liu Yuren’s intentions in helping Huxin.
Gu Xuanhong has a temperament similar to that of a nine-tailed fox; if he does not wish to answer, no one can pry a single word from his lips. However, if it is someone or something that piques his interest, he can talk endlessly for three days and nights.
For example, the person in front of him today, Huxin.
"Your Majesty, Miss Xia is quite good as she is, without any softness or pretentiousness. Her actions are appropriate, and she is genuine and lovely. I do not see anything wrong with her."
If Huxin's ability to handle situations with ease is impressive, then Gu Xuanhong's skill in deflecting questions has reached an extraordinary level.
