Xuan Yuan Ling walked unsteadily towards Huxin's door, and at that moment, Liu Yuren stepped out of the room. Seeing that Xuan Yuan Ling was just three steps away from Huxin's entrance, in the next moment, without even looking at Xuan Yuan Ling, Huxin coldly slammed the door shut with a bang.
"You, Xia Huxin! You, filthy girl!"
Xuan Yuan Ling had intended to flirt with Huxin, but upon witnessing Huxin's attitude, it felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over her.
Xuan Yuan Ling was so angry that she was at a loss for words, while Liu Yuren walked out of Huxin's room with a calm expression.
However, the calmness on his face did not mean that he was equally calm inside. Just like Huxin, she didn't look at Qing Yan, but that didn't mean she could endure even a moment without seeking revenge on Qing Yan!
As the door closed, Huxin turned around and fiercely grabbed the only remaining blue-and-white porcelain vase at the door. She squeezed the neck of the vase in her hand, and in the next moment, the hard blue-and-white porcelain made a crisp sound and shattered in her grip.
It wasn't that she had mastered Nanhai Zhenjing; rather, at that moment, her inner fury broke through her body's resistance and temporarily unleashed the power of Nanhai Zhenjing, proving the limitless potential of the human body.
...
In the palace, Weiyang Palace
The Vast Emperor looked relaxed but furrowed his brows as he glanced at Jing Tian'ao, who hurriedly walked in. A trace of coldness flashed across his eyes before he quickly returned to his usual casual demeanor.
"Tian'ao, you rushing in like this must not be to play chess with your father. What’s going on? Did something happen during your inspection of the water conservancy project? Is there an official involved in corruption? Or..."
"Father! I want to marry Xia Huxin!" Before the Vast Emperor could finish speaking, Jing Tian'ao interrupted with a cold face. However, as soon as he spoke, the Vast Emperor's attitude was completely uncooperative with Jing Tian'ao's urgency and reluctance.
"Get lost! Tian'ao, did you not sleep well last night? It's not even evening yet, and you're talking nonsense. I already know about Consort Mei's situation from last night. Besides, I've assigned you tasks; it's enough that Consort Mei ended up in Xuanyuan Family's Secret Prison. You..."
The Vast Emperor casually played with a jade thumb ring while speaking lightly. His words hinted at confirming Huxin's earlier speculation.
Jing Tian'ao's eyes narrowed sharply, his expression still as cold as frost.
"Father! I am not dreaming! I am serious! Didn't you want to match Xia Huxin to me as a consort before? I have agreed now! The sooner, the better!"
Jing Tian'ao's voice revealed unmasked urgency.
Despite Jing Tian'ao's impatience and reluctance, the Vast Emperor remained steady as a mountain. Even though he usually had such a calm and casual demeanor, as a ruler of a nation, no matter how much he favored Jing Tian'ao, Jing Tian'ao understood from growing up in the deep palace that serving a king is like accompanying a tiger.
No matter if that person is your father, you cannot let your guard down!
Because, since ancient times... the royal family has always been the most ruthless!
However, at this moment, Jing Tian'ao was completely disregarding any caution, only wanting to hear Vast Emperor speak up and resolve his own concerns!
Vast Emperor raised an eyebrow calmly and shook his head, speaking in a steady voice,
"Previously, no matter how I urged you to treat Xia Huxin better, even just a little, you refused to cooperate. And now you want to marry her... Xia Huxin is already eighteen this year. You know that daughters from noble families usually marry off at fourteen or fifteen. Yet she has waited for you year after year. I can see clearly that if it weren't for that girl recently changing her demeanor, you probably wouldn't even bother to look at her, let alone consider her for the Royal Ancestral Hall. When it was time for you to want her, you didn't; now that she doesn't want you anymore, what use do you have?"
Vast Emperor's words left Jing Tian'ao speechless.
With this statement from Vast Emperor, Jing Tian'ao naturally had no words of rebuttal.
In the past, every time Vast Emperor mentioned Jing Tian'ao marrying Xia Huxin as a consort, Jing Tian'ao had never once complied with Vast Emperor's wishes; he always found excuses to evade. But now...
Vast Emperor didn't say it out loud, but in his heart he harshly sent two words to Jing Tian'ao... deserved it!
This was the dilemma of having one's own flesh and blood; if it were someone else's child, Vast Emperor would have slapped him across the face without hesitation.
"Father! Just consider that I was foolish before; I am determined to marry Xia Huxin!"
"You want a hair bean!" This remark from Vast Emperor was typical of what he learned from Xia Yingba.
Jing Tian'ao's expression changed drastically!
He really learned such language from whom! His father spent all day playing chess with Xia Yingba and Gu Xuanhong; he had truly picked up their phrases word for word!
"Father! I am determined to marry Xia Huxin!" Jing Tian'ao spoke again, stepping forward with a posture that suggested he would not back down until he achieved his goal.
He also relied on the fact that Vast Emperor had cared for and trusted him over the years to speak with such determination.
"You want Xia Huxin, huh? Good good good! You all want Xia Huxin, right? One, two, three, four of you have gone mad! In the past, I helped her with hundreds of boxes of dowry gifts but couldn't get rid of that stinky girl! Now it's good; one, two, three, four are coming with Eternal Pearls, Ancient Artifacts, Border Defense Military Power to tempt me into agreeing to betroth Xia Huxin to them! All crazy! I see you're all insane! Could it be that you've all gotten needle eyes at the same time? Have your brains gone waterlogged?"
Vast Emperor spoke with increasing intensity, seemingly unable to hold back any longer, but in reality, he had already calculated the expression that Jing Tian'ao would have.
As expected by Vast Emperor, Jing Tian'ao's eyes narrowed sharply, and he opened his mouth but made no sound at that moment.
"Father, you said... Gu Xuanhong took out the Eternal Pearl from the Ancient Family Townhouse? Xuan Yuan Ling stole the Ancient Artifact from the Xuanyuan Family? And Liu Yuren even gave up the Military Power of the Border Defense... They... are all doing this for Xia Huxin? They all want her?!"
There was a tone of shock and disbelief in Jing Tian'ao's voice.
He thought that rushing into the palace like this would surely fulfill his wishes, but how could it be? Gu Xuanhong, Liu Yuren, Xuan Yuan Ling, each one had acted before him!
When did they do all of this?
This was the first time that Jing Tian'ao, who had always been the pride of heaven, felt such defeat and helplessness.
Vast Emperor glanced at his once spirited son, who had transformed from unwilling jealousy to loss and doubt, his eyes flickering but remaining silent.
Jing Tian'ao looked up steadily at Vast Emperor, and in the next moment, he gritted his teeth and said,
"On what grounds do they compete with me for Xia Huxin? Who in the entire Vast Continent doesn't know that she loves me! Who doesn't know that Xia Huxin is the consort Father has always wanted to introduce to me?"
"Then who doesn't know that you, Jing Tian'ao, in the Imperial Garden incident, wished to put Xia Huxin to death!"
