The daughter of the Marquis is too delicate, the abstinent prince pinches her waist and loves her

Chapter 179 She Misses You So Much

Yan Chuan lowered his head tremblingly and said, "Yes, Your subordinate spoke recklessly..."

"roll!"

After Yan Chuan withdrew, Ye Jingnian took out the star-patterned jade pendant from his pocket, grinding his fingertips fiercely against the star-patterned lines, his eyes terrifyingly sinister: "No way..."

The next day, in the side hall.

The gilded incense burner was filled with swirling smoke, and the tinkling of silver bells broke the silence of the night.

Mu Jiyue's fingertips gently traced the secret letter on the table, and she slightly raised her beautiful red lips, saying, "Brother Chen, do you really have feelings for me?"

Ye Jingnian leaned back in a rosewood chair, his dark blue python robe accentuating his aloofness and coldness, while a faint smile between his brows revealed an unfathomable evil aura.

Upon hearing this, he merely scoffed and said, "Princess Qinxue doesn't believe me?"

Mu Jiyue chuckled and tapped Ye Jinchen's signature on the letter with her fingertip: "If Brother Chen is truly sincere, why would His Highness the Crown Prince need to act as matchmaker?"

"Hmph." Ye Jingnian's eyes were deep and dark as he tapped his fingertips lightly on the table. "Do you think the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion would just stand by and watch the Seventh Imperial Uncle marry a princess from Western Shu?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Jiyue's smile faded slightly.

Ye Jingnian continued, "Although the Empress Dowager has temporarily canceled Sheng Yunqing's engagement with the Seventh Prince, as long as the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion remains standing, she will still marry into the Ye Prince's mansion. Is the princess really willing to marry into the mansion in the future and share a husband with that woman? With Sheng Yunqing's methods, even if she is not the principal wife when she marries in, she will definitely be the principal wife in the future."

He looked up and saw the gloom in Mu Jiyue's eyes, and said, "If the Second Princess is truly free from worries in the future, then the Seventh Imperial Uncle must be made to completely... give up any thoughts."

Mu Jiyue narrowed her eyes and asked, "What does Your Highness intend to do?"

Ye Jingnian's lips curled slightly as he took out a jade token from his sleeve and pushed it in front of her: "I heard that the Marquis of Zhenbei's mansion has taken in a woman from the Western Shu Kingdom. In three days, the Empress Dowager will host a banquet to appreciate the flowers, and Sheng Yunqing will bring her along."

Mu Jiyue raised her beautiful eyebrows. When did Sheng Yunqing become so close to a person from the Western Shu Kingdom?
Ye Jingnian spoke casually, yet every word was piercing, saying, "If she accidentally offends the Empress Dowager at the banquet, and is then publicly exposed for possessing the secret treasure of Western Shu..."

Mu Jiyue instantly understood, her red lips curving slightly as she said, "Sheng Yunqing harbored spies from Western Shu and intended to murder the Empress Dowager. This crime is enough to give the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion a hard time."

"Not only that." Ye Jingnian's lips curled into his usual wicked smile. "If Seventh Imperial Uncle insists on protecting her, he will be going against the Empress Dowager."

Mu Jiyue's smile deepened, and she said, "Your Highness is quite the schemer."

"But Jiyue has a question." She tilted her head slightly, her silver bells ringing melodiously. "I've heard that the Crown Prince and Brother Chen are at odds. Why is Your Highness helping me?"

Ye Jingnian lowered her eyes, her fingertips tracing the edge of the teacup: "I want to make a deal with you."

"tell me the story."

"I'll borrow your Moonlight Jade Pendant for a moment."

"Oh?" Mu Jiyue raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "Your Highness has gone to such lengths to help me, is it really just for the jade pendant?"

Ye Jingnian looked up and met her gaze, a hidden current surging in his eyes: "Yes."

Mu Jiyue chuckled and said, "Your Highness, you've gone to such great lengths, could it be that you want the jade pendant to remove the love potion from your body?"

"You knew all along that I possessed the love potion?"

“I can tell at a glance who has Gu poison in their body.”

Seeing Ye Jingnian's face gradually darken, Mu Jiyue's smile deepened. She playfully drew circles on the rim of the jade cup with her fingertips and said, "My eldest sister mentioned to me a few days ago that she personally cast the Gu on you. She also said that she misses you very much."

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingnian's eyes turned icy, and his voice became terrifyingly low: "What's your eldest sister's name?"

"Mu, Xi, Yang".

With a "crack," the jade cup in Ye Jingnian's hand shattered, tea stains splashing all over him. Mu Xiyang, he would never forget that name, even as a ghost.

It turns out she was the eldest princess of the Western Shu Kingdom...

He looked up at Mu Jiyue, a flash of anger appearing in his eyes: "What a small world."

Five years ago, the Western Shu Kingdom and the Zhu Luo Kingdom made peace, and the Western Shu Emperor intended to marry his eldest princess to Ye Jingnian as a princess for peace.

The moment the news of Ye Jinfeng's agreement reached the Eastern Palace, he took up his sword and rushed to the Golden Palace, his body covered in blood, holding the sword to his neck, forcing Ye Jinfeng to cancel the marriage agreement with his life.

That night, the poison took effect, and his meridians seemed to break. Blood stained the East Palace, and he felt like he was about to die for the second time.

Mu Jiyue blinked as she looked at his out-of-control appearance and said, "Fine, I don't care about the rights and wrongs between you and the eldest princess."

She took off the Moonlight Jade Pendant from her waist. The jade pendant, which was entirely green, had a crescent moon pattern on it, and golden light surged beneath it. Under the candlelight, it shone with a cool radiance: "If Sheng Yunqing is disgraced in three days, this item will belong to Your Highness."

She suddenly raised an eyebrow and said, "But Your Highness, doesn't this jade pendant look familiar?"

Ye Jingnian watched as Mu Jiyue took back the familiar jade pendant in front of him, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

After Mu Jiyue walked away, he blankly took out the star-shaped jade pendant from his bosom.

The moon-shaped jade pendant was identical to the star-shaped jade pendant in shape, color, and the golden light in its patterns, as if they were made at the same time.

Half an hour later.

"Your Highness," Zhi Xing's gentle voice came from the doorway.

Dressed in plain clothes, she slowly walked to his side, watched him stare at the jade pendant in his hand for a long time, and then said, "Yan Chuan said that Your Highness has been here for a long time without coming out."

Ye Jingnian reached out his hand to her.

Zhi Xing smiled gently and placed her hand on him. He then pulled her around the waist and made her sit on his lap.

Ye Jingnian gently held her hand, quickly warming her slightly cool fingertips. Smelling the faint medicinal scent on her body, he raised his hand to stroke her cheek and asked, "Did you drink your medicine obediently?"

Zhi Xing nodded and said, "Today's snow swallow porridge also has a bloody taste."

Night Scene Young Man stroked the back of her head and said, "The Northern Frontier Blood Ganoderma has a rather strong flavor."

Zhi Xing understood, slowly lowered her head, and said, "I thought..."

Ye Jingnian smiled faintly and said, "Things that strengthen the foundation and nourish the vital energy must be taken every day."

Zhi Xing nodded: "Okay."

Nightfall gently stroked Zhixing's cheek and leaned down to place a tender kiss on her lips.

His lips were warm and soft, carrying a faint scent of ambergris, as he carefully caressed her lips, as if handling a fragile treasure.

"Azhi..." Ye Jingnian whispered to her lips, looking at her open eyes, staring blankly at her.

This was the first time Ye Jing had called her so affectionately in the past year.

Nightfall deepened the kiss, making it lingering and tender, filled with endless affection, causing Zhixing to unconsciously climb onto his shoulders.

After a long while, Ye Jingnian reluctantly withdrew, his fingertips still lingering on her reddened lips.

He gazed into her hazy eyes, pulled down his collar, and gently touched a scar on his neck with her fingertips.
