When the gaze of the common people fell upon Jing Tian'ao, it was filled with fear and reverence. In contrast, when they looked at Xuan Yuan Ling, it was with a sense of horror and confusion, which clearly indicated how deeply the actions of the Rebellious Ancestor Xuan Yuan Ling had impacted the hearts of the people. As for the looks directed at Huxin, they were initially ones of neglect and indifference. However, when they saw that Huxin was walking alongside Jing Tian'ao from the Xia Family, their expressions were overtaken by shock and disbelief.
Even those who had never seen it with their own eyes had heard that Xia Huxin was always trailing behind Jing Tian'ao persistently, while Prince Ping had never shown her any kindness, let alone walked alongside her. Today, however, it was Xia Huxin who walked proudly in the center, with Jing Tian'ao standing grimly beside her. Was the sun rising from the west?
Huxin stood at the main entrance, her clear eyes like springs, quietly watching a group of people approaching in the distance.
Leading them was a middle-aged man on a tall horse, clad in black armor. He had a robust figure and sharp eyebrows like Mo Tong, with distinct and chiseled features. At first glance, he appeared to be a seasoned general with extensive battlefield experience.
Following closely behind was a Liuli Soft Sedan, primarily purple with black accents. At first glance, it resembled the palanquin Liu Yuren had used in the Imperial Garden, but upon closer inspection, while that palanquin had sheer curtains, today’s palanquin featured three layers of purple crystal curtains, dreamlike and ethereal, adding an extra touch of luxury and splendor.
Liu Yuren remained seated inside the sedan, only a vague silhouette visible without revealing her true appearance.
Huxin couldn't help but curl her lips. Xia Yingba could come back all he wanted; what was Liu Yuren doing here causing a stir? She remembered Xuan Yuan Ling mentioning that Liu Yuren appeared calm on the surface but had a dark side within. However, the most cunning among them all was Gu Family Hong Ye Gu Xuanhong—a man as clever and sly as a nine-tailed fox.
Huxin shook her head unconsciously, wondering what Gu Xuanhong was up to. She still hadn't settled accounts with him for that bump on her head! He shouldn't think that just because he had a Vajra Furnace he could brush her off!
As the procession drew closer, the surrounding citizens craned their necks to look. Hui Ting seized this opportunity, pulling along a group of prepared Aunties and concubines while carrying the fainted Le Yi and injured Consort Mei. She cried out as she rushed into the street and knelt down to block Xia Yingba's path.
"Uncle! Help! You must stand up for my sister Si Qian! Give an explanation to the Liang Family! Stand up for Princess Le Yi! Give an explanation to Prince Rong's Residence! Stand up for Consort Mei! Give an explanation to the harem!" Hui Ting cried out tearfully while signaling to Golden Branch behind her. Golden Branch immediately gestured to the servants behind them, who promptly lifted Si Qian—still unconscious with one hand heavily bandaged—up.
As Si Qian appeared, gasps of disbelief echoed among the onlookers as they stared at her lying on a chair, pale-faced and covered in bloodstains. How could anyone accept that this was still Liang Siqian—the once bright and intelligent girl known throughout Kyoto's noble families?
Si Qian's hand was beyond recovery, and she had developed a high fever since last night. Normally, if Si Qian were awake, she would never allow Liang Huiting and the others to carry her out and embarrass her. After all, she was still an unmarried young woman. Now, appearing in such a state in front of everyone, how could she face people in the future?
However, Hui Ting and Golden Branch were using this opportunity to eliminate Huxin, completely disregarding their sisterly bond. Since Si Qian was in this condition, it was unlikely she would ever marry Jing Tian'ao. They might as well let her fall apart; sacrificing her to bring down Xia Huxin was worth it.
