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

Chapter 205 Death and Shattered Jade
As dawn broke, the night hadn't given her a moment's rest.

He held her in his arms in front of the desk, with the two divorce papers pressed down by the paperweight.

He picked up his brush and wrote his name down, creating a divorce agreement in the Western Shu script. He also wrote his name in the Western Shu script and then placed the brush in her palm.

With a "thud," Mu Zhixing's hand limply released the pen. Her eyes were red, and she couldn't bear to look at the divorce papers any longer.

"Can't write?" Ye Jingnian sneered, placing the wolf-hair brush back into her palm. Holding her hand, he carefully wrote her name from Xishu next to his.

"No..." Zhi Xing couldn't help but sob, tears overflowing from her eyes and blurring her vision.

Mu, Zhi...

"It's safer to write in the Western Shu script, I'm afraid your father won't accept it," Ye Jingnian sneered.

Upon seeing the two words written down, Mu Zhixing shook her head and said, "No..."

She tried to break free from Ye Jingnian's hand, but he held on even tighter.

Mu Zhixing's hand bones were pinched painfully, but in her struggle, the character "Xing" was written steadily.

Immediately afterwards, he forcibly grabbed the pen from another book and said, "The Zhu Luo Script Association?"

"Your Highness, I don't want to write it..." Zhi Xing's tears overflowed from her eyes and fell onto the divorce papers with a "plop".

"Don't soil my things." Ye Jingnian's voice was cold as he grabbed her hand and wrote the three words down decisively, leaving her no room to resist.

Ye Jingnian put down his pen, finally released her hand, closed the booklet, and placed a stack of memorials on the desk.

He grabbed her wrist again, opened the door, and pushed her out.

Mu Zhixing's legs went weak and she fell to the ground, the silver bells on her body jingling.

She knelt before Ye Jingnian, looking up at him with red eyes: "Your Highness..."

Ye Jingnian's eyes narrowed, and his expression as he looked down at her was as cold as when he first saw her and threw her off the painted boat that night.

He opened the book of divorce papers written in Western Shu and threw it at her, saying cruelly, "Go back to your Western Shu!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the door slammed shut, banishing her outside.

"Your Highness! Your Highness!" Mu Zhixing knelt by the door, her eyes brimming with tears, "Don't abandon Azhi!"

"Princess!" Yuwen Heng heard the voice and quickly walked over. He picked up the divorce papers that had been scattered in front of her, carefully folded them, and put them in his arms as if protecting some precious treasure, for fear that the person inside the door would change their mind and tear the book into pieces.

Seeing her crying so pitifully, with several red marks on her neck, Yuwen Heng lowered his head and turned his face away.

He stared at the tightly closed gate, his eyes burning with hatred: "Princess, the carriage is waiting outside the mansion. We should go."

Mu Zhixing stared blankly at the crack in the door, her voice hoarse with sobs as she said, "I'm sorry, that night, I climbed onto your pleasure boat..."

Zhenbeihou Mansion.

"Coo coo coo..." A carrier pigeon landed in front of the window. Sheng Yunqing looked at the note tied to its leg and raised her eyebrows slightly.

She pulled out the letter, her eyes suddenly widening.

"It's a letter from Xiao'er."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Jinhua, who was wearing a hairpin, asked curiously, "Xiao'er? Why hasn't he returned?"

Sheng Yunqing unfolded the letter and read it to Sheng Jinhua: "Elder sister, seeing this letter is like seeing you in person. I saw Hua'er's physical body in Mu Xiyang's underground palace. Now that Mu Xiyang has passed away, Xiao'er is afraid that those who know about this matter will destroy the underground palace. Therefore, I will continue to stay in the Western Shu palace as the secret guard Yuheng. Xiao'er is waiting for elder sister to come and save Hua'er together. Over the years, I have learned a lot and have become skilled in martial arts. Elder sister, please don't worry."

After saying this, Sheng Yunqing smiled with relief and said, "I believe Xiao'er will protect you well."

Qinxue Palace, Western Shu Kingdom.

Mu Jiyue sat on the precious chair made of golden nanmu wood, holding the newly made moonlight jade pendant in her hand. She stroked the moonlight patterns on it and slightly narrowed her almond-shaped eyes.

She calmly pressed her cheek against her hand, gazing at the twelve maids below the steps, and said, "I know you are all highly capable. Your contributions to the eldest princess's acquisition of such power are indispensable. You once followed the eldest princess, and now that she has passed away, you must find a new master. Follow me, and I will not mistreat you." Upon hearing this, the maids knelt and bowed, saying, "We swear to follow the Second Princess to the death."

Mu Jiyue raised her beautiful lips. She didn't care if Hanxing, Zhixing, or Broom Star came. As long as she occupied half of Mu Xiyang's power, she would be fearless.

She suddenly turned her gaze and said, "I heard that my eldest sister has a highly skilled bodyguard named Yu..."

“Your Highness, it is Yuheng,” said Shuangjiang, the personal maid beside her.

Where did he go?

"I heard that the Emperor values ​​him highly and has appointed him as a bodyguard."

Upon hearing this, Mu Jiyue snorted coldly and said, "That's truly a pity."

into the night.

As Sheng Xiao walked to the entrance of the underground palace of Mingyao Palace, a delicate jade pendant slipped from his sleeve.

This is the Sunbeam Jade Pendant I got from Hongling that night.

He focused his attention and carefully placed the jade pendant into the groove of the stone gate, only then could he see the color of the jade pendant in detail.

Unlike the jade pendant he had seen before, this one had become dull and lifeless, no longer dazzling. He even noticed several obvious cracks on it.

With a "crack," the jade pendant shattered in two, and spiderweb-like cracks spread across the entire pendant before it crumbled into powder and fell to the ground.

His pupils suddenly contracted, and he clenched his fists, gritting his teeth: "Why..."

Is it...

"Death and shattering of jade?"

On the border of Western Shu, a horse-drawn carriage slowly travels through the woods at the junction of the two countries. Summer has arrived, and cicadas chirp incessantly in the woods.

It was exceptionally hot today, so we had to slow down our pace a bit.

The wheels rolled over the cracked ground, and the sound of hooves gradually subsided.

"Have we arrived in Western Shu?" the girl inside the carriage asked softly.

"Yes, Third Princess," Yuwen Heng replied respectfully.

Mu Zhixing lowered her eyes slightly, her gaze becoming somewhat dim.

Her fingertips touched the mark left by Ye Jingnian's fierce actions on her wrist, which had gradually faded.

She lowered her head and sighed, the sound of silver bells jingling as the wheels rolled.

Was she taken back to her homeland, or was she deported...?

A sudden, eerie chirping sound, unlike anything ever heard before, filled the air.

"Is this an insect found only in Western Shu?"

“Hmm…” Yuwen Heng composed himself and said in a low voice, “The Gu worms from Western Shu are not friendly.”

Mu Zhixing was slightly taken aback. Was someone trying to take her life?

"Protect the princess!" Yuwen Heng shouted sternly, on high alert.

A rustling sound came from the jungle, and a rain of swords tore through the sky, piercing the leaves and blurring everyone's vision.

The arrow, coated with poison, emitted purple smoke, causing leaves and branches to wither and decay wherever it passed, and pierced the bodies of a group of shamans.

Gu worms burrowed out of the wounds at a visible speed, constantly gnawing at their flesh, causing screams of agony to erupt in an instant.
