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

Chapter 183 Mu Xiyang Makes His Debut

Before the Empress Dowager's angry rebuke could even begin, a muffled thud suddenly came from the seats.

Ye Jinchen's pupils suddenly contracted, and the wine cup in his hand fell limply, staining the brocade cloth on the table.

His fingers suddenly gripped the fabric of his chest, his fingertips trembling and turning white from the force, and cold sweat instantly seeped from his forehead. By the time everyone reacted, his thin lips had already turned completely white from lack of blood.

"Chen'er! What's wrong with you!" The Empress Dowager suddenly exclaimed, and Pei Xuan beside her helped Ye Jinchen, who was about to fall to the ground, up.

It was the blood-dispersing poison that triggered Mu Jiyue's Gu worms, and also caused the love Gu in Ye Jinchen's body to become restless.

Sheng Yunqing's eyes narrowed, and she stood up without hesitation.

She had recently learned the method to break the love curse that Mu Hanxing had mentioned, and she was just waiting for tonight.

The Starry Jade Pendant can draw out the Gu from the body, but it requires blood as a medium. She cut her palm, and the blood soaked into the jade pendant, but there was no reaction.

She frowned slightly, turned her eyes, and as she pondered, she noticed that Mu Jiyue deliberately took a few steps back from her and put his hands behind his back.

Sheng Yunqing narrowed her eyes slightly. Could it be... that it must be the blood of the Western Shu royal family?

She glanced at Mu Hanxing not far away, and quickly grabbed her hand. The silver needle gently pierced her fingertip, and the blood that seeped out stained the starlight jade pendant.

"Star, lend me a drop of blood." Before Mu Hanxing could react, Sheng Yunqing had already walked up to Ye Jinchen with the jade pendant.

Mu Hanxing hissed in pain, then pitifully put her bloodied finger in her mouth: "Ouch...it hurts..."

As expected, the jade pendant reacted when it touched the blood. The icy touch instantly gave way to a comforting warmth, and a faint blue-white light rippled between the patterns on the jade pendant, like twinkling stars.

"Ye Jinchen, trust me." Sheng Yunqing looked into his bloodshot eyes and said earnestly.

Ye Jinchen's eyes were almost blurred with faintness. He gritted his teeth, forced a smile, and said, "I have always believed in you."

The next moment, Sheng Yunqing tore open his clothes, and a series of ferocious red lines spread from his chest. She then pressed the gleaming jade pendant against his chest.

The moment he touched her, a burning sound of flesh was heard. Ye Jinchen felt the Gu worms inside his body struggling and writhing, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

Before long, the blood-red patterns seemed to come alive and began to twist. After struggling for a moment, they were slowly drawn out with the light of the jade pendant.

The movement was swift and fluid. Just as the Gu worm was about to leave her body, Mu Jiyue suddenly screamed and pounced like a madwoman: "Stop!"

How could the love potion she painstakingly planted be broken so easily?!

Before she could even get close, the blood-red spider had already been pulled out. Ye Jinchen smashed the wine pot on the table with one hand, grabbed the sharp porcelain shards, and threw them hard at the spider. The spider's body was pierced through in mid-air and slammed into the opposite tree with a "thud." It twisted a few times and turned into powder.

Ye Jinchen watched the Gu worms dissipate with hatred in his eyes before letting out a long sigh of relief and being helped back to his seat by Pei Xuan.

Ye Jingnian, seated in his seat, stared blankly, a smile unconsciously curving his lips. The jade pendant in Sheng Yunqing's hand could indeed be used to solve the mystery.

A tear rolled down Mu Jiyue's wide eyes. A thousand words caught in her throat, and she trembled with fear.

"Mu Jiyue, you used a curse to control me, and used the love curse on Chen'er to force me to agree to your marriage, causing Yunqing to suffer the injustice of killing Ling'er. I will not forgive you easily!" The Empress Dowager's angry roar came from above.

"Guards! Seize Mu Jiyue!"

"Empress Dowager Zhu Luo is quite imposing." A lazy voice came, with a sickly hoarseness, but it made everyone present feel a strong sense of oppression, and their hearts seemed to be frozen and their bodies trembled.

A faint, cool fragrance wafted from the silent night.

Upon hearing this voice, Ye Jingnian's pupils suddenly contracted, and the wine pot in his hand instantly shattered between his fingertips.

Hearing the sound, everyone looked over and saw a beautiful red figure slowly emerge from the night. Twelve maids stood on either side, holding palace lanterns, and a faint, eerie sound rang out.

Mu Xiyang was dressed in a red robe, fluttering like a butterfly, with silver bells adorning her waist. With each step she took, the silver bells made a soft, melodious sound.

She was extremely beautiful, so much so that no one could bear to look away. She was tall and slender, almost as tall as a man. Her almond-shaped eyes, which resembled Mu Jiyue's, had no playfulness. The long eyelashes at the corners of her eyes, which were slightly drooping, added a touch of affection.

Her crimson lips, when slightly raised, seemed capable of stealing one's heart. The only flaw was her overly pale complexion, which only made the rouge at the corners of her eyes appear even more alluring.

Behind her followed a woman in a red outfit, whose cold face concealed a ruthless and cold-blooded nature; she was the red-clad sister Mu Hanxing had mentioned.

"Elder, eldest sister..." Mu Jiyue raised her disheveled face and looked at her as if she had seen a savior. Her eyes were filled with tears, and her voice, which was no longer arrogant, trembled weakly.

Mu Xiyang didn't even give her a glance. He simply raised his hand, and Hong Ling behind him understood and stepped forward to help Mu Jiyue up.

"My younger sister is unruly and has made the Empress Dowager laugh at her." Mu Jiyue bowed slightly, her sickly figure appearing thin and frail in the night, yet still delicate.

"I have already ordered someone to rush back to the Western Shu Kingdom's treasury and selected sixteen treasures as an apology. They will definitely be delivered to the Empress Dowager's palace within three days."

After speaking, she took out a deep purple jade pendant from her sleeve and handed it to the Empress Dowager, saying, "In addition, this is a token of the Western Shu royal family, which can guarantee the smooth trade routes between the two countries. Consider it a token of my sincerity."

The Empress Dowager's expression was not good. She snorted coldly and said, "Princess Mingyao, your sister is causing trouble in my Zhu Luo Kingdom, even scheming against me and the Prince. Taking her away like this is probably..."

Mu Xiyang smiled, her slender fingers stroking another purple jade pendant at her waist. Her gentle voice carried a chilling threat: "It's been too long. Has the Empress Dowager forgotten what happened to your country's envoy in my Western Shu Kingdom five years ago?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the Empress Dowager's expression changed instantly. At that moment, a maid stepped forward and presented the brocade box she was carrying.

Mu Xiyang gently traced the carved patterns on the brocade box with her fingertips and said, "This is the antidote for the poison that afflicted our envoys back then. It will relieve your envoys from suffering from splitting headaches every month. After the apology is paid, twelve more bottles will be presented. I keep my word."

Her steps were slow. As she walked behind the Empress Dowager, the powerful, chilling aura around her caused the surrounding guards to unconsciously take a step back.
