The Xuanyuan Family's Secret Prison is known to Huxin. Whenever there are unresolved conflicts among the noble families, the suspects must be confined within the Xuanyuan Family's Secret Prison. The Xuanyuan Family has existed as the only arbitration family on the Vast Continent for hundreds of years. Although it has never participated in any political votes or business operations, its unique status remains irreplaceable.
It is said that each generation of the Xuanyuan Family produces an extraordinary individual who masters Qimen Dunjia and Witchcraft Secret Spells, possessing knowledge of astronomy and geography. For centuries, the existence of the Xuanyuan Family has cast a layer of mysterious reverence in people's hearts.
No one knows why only members of the Xuanyuan Family possess such abilities. Logically, everyone on this continent shares similar experiences, yet the differences of the Xuanyuan Family have persisted for hundreds of years, further deepening people's awe towards them.
Jing Tian'ao is born of the Queen, and Consort Mei is a puppet promoted by the Queen. Naturally, Jing Tian'ao wants to protect Consort Mei and cannot allow her to enter the Secret Prison. The Xuan Yuan Old King is famously just and impartial, showing no favoritism. Xia Huxin's move is indeed ruthless!
How could Jing Tian'ao believe that this meticulous and cautious woman before him is the same Xia Huxin who once followed him closely with a face full of sorrow and pity?
Jing Tian'ao takes a deep breath, his expression dark and terrifying. However, before he can speak, the surrounding crowd has already begun to murmur.
"Hey! Did you see that? You really can't judge a person by their appearance! The two young ladies from the Liang Family seem so refined on normal days, but they are even more vicious than scorpions! This is truly a case of dogs biting dogs!"
"Isn't that right? Relying on the Liang Family behind them and having connections in the palace, they are turning black into white! Now look, their own people are slapping their own faces! What a retribution!"
"Nowadays, anyone helping the Liang Family is simply ignoring justice! There's a saying that princes are punished just like commoners! Let's see how the current Emperor deals with them this time! I wonder how they will continue to pretend after this!"
The murmurs of the crowd reach Jing Tian'ao's ears. Even though he usually maintains an air of noble authority, at this moment, he finds it difficult to silence the voices of the masses. Dressed in a dark golden brocade robe, Jing Tian'ao completely loses his previous pride; his robe dims under his gloomy aura. He finds himself trapped—neither able to advance nor retreat—his cold and harsh demeanor unable to manifest.
At this moment, Consort Mei suddenly rushes towards Huxin with fury. However, just as she raises her hand to strike Huxin, she lets out a terrible scream and collapses to the ground weakly. In her anger towards Huxin, Consort Mei forgets about her own injured hand and immediately falls to the ground in pain, unable to move.
The crowd continues to point and discuss among themselves as their voices fill the air.
"This doesn't look like a princess who came out of the palace at all! She's even worse than an ordinary street woman!"
"Exactly! What Consort Mei! It's said that she only has the backing of the Queen in the palace; otherwise, she's nothing! Wansui Ye has long harbored resentment towards the Liang Family. If it weren't for their usefulness, who would want such a brainless woman to stay in the palace!"
"That was before. Now that the Liang Family has been thrown into chaos by their two daughters, they're bound to suffer significant losses. Relying on that little bit of waterway transportation will eventually be taken over by Gu Family Hong Ye! I think the Liang Family is doomed to be ruined by this generation!"
"Does Gu Family Hong Ye even need to steal? Can you speak properly? If Gu Family Hong Ye wanted something, the Liang Family would have to wash their necks clean and lie down obediently under Master Hong's knife! Who is Master Hong? He's a character far more formidable than the Xuan Yuan Old King! The Liang Family has tried countless times to marry their daughter Liang Zhenni to Master Hong, but he wouldn't even consider it! You all underestimate Master Hong's power!"
"Then tell me, who is more powerful, Master Hong or the newly returned general? In the past, there was only one Gu Family Hong Ye in this capital. When Master Hong stomped his foot, the entire capital would tremble. Before that, it was the Xuanyuan Family's Mad Prince. When the Xuan Yuan Heir went mad, it was as if day turned to night! Now that the general has returned, he seems much easier to talk to than Master Hong, and he doesn't have the madness of the Xuan Yuan Heir! I think there will be quite a show to watch in this capital from now on!"
Among the onlookers, a few knowledgeable people were quietly discussing the current situation. Huxin unconsciously narrowed her eyes; her previous innocent and pitiful demeanor vanished in an instant, revealing a calm and clear presence.
