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

Chapter 197 The Third Princess is Not Dead

"Ah!" Yuheng screamed in agony, "Sister Xi... Sister Xi, spare me! Yuheng knows she was wrong! Yuheng will never dare to disobey Sister Xi again!"

Watching Yuheng's face turn pale inch by inch, and his whole body be soaked in sweat, she watched with satisfaction before letting go.

She lifted his chin, looked into his unfocused eyes, and said, "Next time before you make a decision, think about the Gu in your body, think about your unconscious sister."

“Sister…” Yuheng looked at Mu Xiyang and said, “Sister Xi, Yuheng can die, but sister must live. Please don’t give up on saving my sister. Yuheng will definitely treat Sister Xi well.”

Seeing Yuheng's fear, Mu Xiyang gently raised her lips and said, "That's more like it."

A scorching hot wind blew by, and Mu Xiyang's figure disappeared with a wisp of red smoke: "Stay in Zhu Luo. Don't come back until you kill Sheng Yunqing!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the wisp of red smoke completely dissipated into the air. Yuheng lowered his head and frowned, saying, "Yes!"

The next day, early in the morning.

Birds sang sweetly on the branches, and the sky outside was clear and bright. Sheng Yunqing sat in the backyard studying the handkerchief in her hand.

"I suspect Xiao'er will try to assassinate me again tonight." She frowned, her thoughts a jumble of complicated emotions.

Lu Changxuan picked up the silk handkerchief and looked at it. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, and he said, "Look, what is this?"

Sheng Yunqing looked at the few faintly red threads among the gold embroidery and said, "It's Mu Xiyang's blood."

A moment later, she went into the inner room, soaked the silk handkerchief in clean water, made a mudra with her hands, and pointed to the silk handkerchief.

The dried bloodstains suddenly became vivid, churning in the clear water and emitting a faint hissing sound, as if they were alive.

She cut her fingertip, and the blood drew a spell on the smooth silk handkerchief.

Lu Changxuan strode up to her, looked at the incantation already drawn in the water, and felt a chill. He said, "Seven Star Soul-Chasing Talisman... This spell has an extremely strong backlash. Do you know what you're doing?"

Sheng Yunqing stared firmly at the bloodstains in the basin and said, "I'm protecting my family."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Hanxing skipped in, holding a windmill in her hand: "Sister Xiangxiang... play with me..."

Sheng Yunqing frowned and said, "Xingxing, be good. I'm busy, you can go out first."

Mu Hanxing stared at the blood-red curse mark in the basin of water, tilted her head, and her gaze became momentarily still.

She quickly wiped her fingertips against the corner of the table, leaving a trail of blood that dripped into the basin of water.

"You stupid girl! What are you doing!" Lu Changxuan exclaimed, raising his hand to shoo her away.

"Brother, look!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changxuan paused for a moment, looking at the curse mark on the handkerchief. Not only was it not destroyed, but it became even more vivid red and thick.

"Only with the help of your closest blood relatives can you succeed." Mu Hanxing's voice was low, unlike that of a naive and silly girl.

Sheng Yunqing frowned and turned to look at Mu Hanxing, but Mu Hanxing blew on the kite in her hand and smiled at Sheng Yunqing, saying, "Then Xingxing will go play with Yingying!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she skipped and hopped away.

A golden light flashed from the curse mark within the handkerchief, and Lu Changxuan said blankly, "The curse is complete..."

Inside the room, without any wind, the bloodstains on the silk handkerchief seemed to come alive, condensing into fine needles in the air and piercing straight into Sheng Yunqing's wrist.

She frowned and let out a muffled groan, blood already trickling from the corner of her lips, yet she persisted in chanting the incantation. "Junior Sister!" Lu Changxuan cried out in alarm, wanting to step forward to stop her, but was repelled by a blinding golden light, collapsing to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

When the spell is completed, a solid barrier automatically forms around the host, which even he cannot break.

The large and imposing army of Western Shu returned from Zhu Luo capital, having just crossed the border into the territory of Western Shu.

When the last Western Shu guard caught up with the group on horseback, the Zhu Luo soldiers tightly closed the city gates, severing all ties with Western Shu.

Inside the carriage, Mu Xiyang coughed lightly, covering her mouth. Hongling lifted the curtain and entered, bowing to Mu Xiyang and saying, "Princess, news has come from the palace. The infant buried in the imperial mausoleum is not of royal blood. The real Third Princess was switched by the Third Princess's wet nurse, Lan Shi, when the princess ordered her to be drowned."

Upon hearing this, Mu Xiyang narrowed his handsome eyes slightly and said in a cold voice, "So, the Third Princess really isn't dead? Where is she?"

"My subordinates took Lan Shi's portrait and sent people to Taiqing Temple to investigate. Someone saw Lan Shi place an infant in front of the temple. With the infant was the lost jade pendant. That infant... is Zhi Xing."

Seeing that Mu Xiyang's hand holding the water cup was trembling slightly, Hong Ling frowned slightly and said, "According to my investigation, we have collected some hair from the room where Zhixing once lived in Taiqing Temple. We will have it identified by the princess."

As she finished speaking, she took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, opened it, and presented three strands of hair inside.

Mu Xiyang narrowed his eyes slightly and placed a few silver ants on it.

The ants quickly nibbled at the hair, their abdomens gleaming with a faint golden light.

These silver ants only react this way to those of royal blood, which proves...

Suddenly enraged, she overturned the table, the flames from the Gu worms on her body nearly burning the carriage to ashes: "Insolence! That vile woman dared to disobey my orders and release that little bastard!"

Hongling was already used to Mu Xiyang's unpredictable moods. She recited a fire-extinguishing Gu spell, calming the flames in the air. A few sparks burned a corner of the curtain, and she immediately took it down, saying, "I will replace the curtain for the princess in a moment."

Mu Xiyang's clenched hands trembled as he gritted his teeth and said, "That little bitch had to run off to the Crown Prince's residence of all places..."

Suddenly, she felt a tightness in her chest, realized something was wrong with her body, and felt a sharp pain in her chest. She then vomited a mouthful of black blood.

"Princess!" Hongling exclaimed, and quickly knelt down to support her swaying figure.

Mu Xiyang's face turned deathly pale in an instant, losing all color, and her whole body felt ice-cold.

She gritted her teeth and said, "How could this be..."

The backlash from the love potion shouldn't have happened so quickly... What could be the reason...?

She suddenly felt dizzy, closed her eyes, and lost consciousness.

"Princess! What's wrong, Princess!"

Zhenbeihou Mansion.

When the spell was activated, the entire Marquis's mansion was affected.

When Ye Jinchen arrived, Sheng Yunqing, who was still chanting incantations inside the golden barrier, was already bleeding from all seven orifices.

His eyes sharpened, and he drew his sword, which whistled through the air, slicing through his palm. Blood stained the blade, swirling with a faint yet rich purple aura, and the sword cleaved through the barrier.

He sheathed his sword and raised his hand to press on Sheng Yunqing's acupoints.

Sheng Yunqing's hands fell limply to her sides, the blood talisman in her handkerchief dimmed, her vision went black, and her body went limp as she fainted in Ye Jinchen's arms.
