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

Chapter 211 Trading the Third Princess
"Certainly!"

Mu Hanxing pointed at the falling ice spike with a single word, and the ice spike that was piercing towards Sheng Jinhua stopped in mid-air.

Sheng Yunqing's eyes widened; Mu Hanxing's body actually contained powerful witchcraft energy.

One by one, the ice spikes fell, but they all hovered in the air following her command, giving off a slightly eerie feeling.

Mu Hanxing crossed his hands, drawing out swarms of fluorescent Gu worms from his fingertips. They quickly wove a net in the air, and ice spikes fell down, landing on the net with a "crackling" sound, only to disappear into water vapor in an instant.

With a flick of his sleeve, Mu Hanxing fixed the net onto the already deformed door frame, blocking the massive ice block about to fall from above. He said intently, "Hurry!"

Sheng Jinhua only took two hurried steps before her legs gave way and she collapsed to the ground.

For so many years, my consciousness has been wandering in the form of a soul, and I have long forgotten how to walk.

Seeing this, Lu Changxuan didn't dare to delay for even a quarter of an hour and quickly carried her on his back.

Sheng Xiao and Su Lan, wielding their swords, cleared a path, shattering the ice above them, and the group raced towards the exit.

Just as the stone door was about to close, Mu Hanxing used his fingers to transfer the glowing Gu worms to the door. Before long, the stone door suddenly shattered, and he finally rushed out at the last moment of the collapse.

The ordeal was over, and everyone collapsed to the ground, panting.

The morning light pierced through the clouds and shone on everyone's faces.

Sheng Yunqing took out a book from his bosom and handed it to Mu Zhixing: "The solution to the love potion begins on page twelve."

Mu Zhixing pursed her lips, carefully put the book away, and said, "Thank you."

Sheng Yunqing stood up, glanced at her for a moment, and said, "Your relationship with him is not what it used to be. Ye Jingnian hates Xishu to the bone. Zhu Luo and Xishu have heard about his brutal strategic methods. If you want to see him, you may lose your life."

Upon hearing this, Mu Zhixing clenched her fists and said in a low voice, "This is none of your business."

"Then I wish you good luck." Sheng Yunqing sighed softly, her eyes sweeping over everyone. "If you don't go back soon, it will be troublesome if Mu Chengqian catches you."

"I'm not going back," Mu Hanxing suddenly said.

Sheng Yunqing raised an eyebrow: "Hanxing, do you want to stay?"

Mu Hanxing nodded, took her hand, and said with a look of reluctance in his eyes, "Thank you for taking care of me these past few days. Now that I have returned to my homeland, the cause of the witchcraft power in my body has not yet been found. Besides... if I were to return to the Sheng family in my current condition, it would also cause trouble for you."

“Your father has stripped you of your princess status. If you were to appear here so rashly, he would likely punish you,” Mu Zhixing said, frowning.

Sheng Xiao suddenly thought of something and looked at Mu Hanxing, saying, "There is a secret room in Mingyao Palace that no one knows about. I will take you there."

"Mm." Mu Hanxing nodded.

After properly settling Mu Hanxing, Sheng Xiao suddenly knelt down before Sheng Yunqing and said, "Elder sister, I want to stay in Western Shu."

Sheng Yunqing was stunned: "You're not coming with us?"

Sheng Xiao frowned seriously and said, "Now that I am valued by the Emperor of Western Shu, staying in Western Shu will allow me to know the movements of Western Shu in a timely manner and protect you and Hua'er."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Yunqing nodded with complicated thoughts and said, "Okay, be careful in everything you do."

Half a month later, the Western Shu Kingdom was almost completely lost.

In the Zhu Luo army camp, battle reports, like snowflakes, frequently arrived at the commander's tent.

"Report! White Moon City has surrendered! The city lord has presented a letter of surrender!"

"Report! Feijian Pass has been breached! When the garrison commander was captured, he had already committed suicide in service to his country!"

"Report! General Gao Qing of Western Shu has been captured alive and is currently being held outside the tent." Ye Jingnian leaned back on the throne covered with animal hide, lazily exhaling a breath. His eyes, which seemed to be smiling but were not, revealed a murderous pleasure. His thin lips curved into a handsome arc: "Bring him up."

"Yes."

The heavy chains scraped against the ground. Gao Qing's face was covered in blood, his hateful eyes glaring at Ye Jingnian, his back held high with arrogance.

With a thud, he was kicked from behind by a soldier and fell to the ground.

Ye Jingnian slowly walked up to him, his black iron boots grinding against his hand that was bracing against the ground. The smile on his lips was bloodthirsty: "Long time no see, General Gao."

Gao Qing gritted his teeth and glared at him angrily, saying, "Ye Jingnian, kill me or torture me, it's up to you!"

“Kill him? What a waste…” Ye Jingnian said with a cold smile, “But dismemberment… is rather interesting…”

Upon hearing this, Gao Qing's pupils contracted for a moment, but he still snorted angrily and resignedly closed his eyes.

Ye Jingnian glanced at him and said, "It was just a little joke with the general, no need to be nervous."

He turned and walked to the table, pulled out a blank challenge letter, dipped a wolf-hair brush in blood instead of ink, and wrote a few lines in a flamboyant style before tossing it to the soldier beside him.

"Send it to the Western Shu imperial palace and tell Mu Chengqian that he wants General Gao to live..."

He fluttered his cloak, sat on the throne with an air of nonchalance, and his cold laughter sent chills down one's spine: "Bring the Third Princess in exchange."

Night falls in the Western Shu imperial palace.

Mu Jiyue looked at the challenge letter, which reeked of blood. The dark red bloodstains on the letter were arrogant and provocative.

She sneered and said, "Father would rather send troops to fight to the death than agree to this deal. He would never hand over his most precious third sister."

Hongdie, the maid who had previously served Mu Xiyang, raised an eyebrow and asked, "So, what does the Second Princess intend to do?"

Mu Jiyue narrowed her eyes slightly, closed the challenge letter, and tucked it into her sleeve. She said, "Send troops to tell Ye Jingnian that Father Emperor has agreed."

Upon hearing this, Hongdie was slightly taken aback and said, "Then the princess intends to..."

Mu Jiyue smiled beautifully: "Let's go to Yaoke Palace."

A moment later, at the Yaoke Palace.

Mu Jiyue stepped into the room and threw the challenge letter she had pulled from her sleeve at Mu Zhixing.

Mu Zhixing frowned unhappily. Before even opening the book, she noticed the bloodstains on the cover and smelled a strong stench of blood.

She grabbed the neatly folded challenge letters and asked, "What's this?"

"Take a look." Mu Jiyue smiled, her tone laced with smug satisfaction, and said, "Crown Prince Zhu Luo specifically asked for you."

Mu Zhixing paused slightly, unfolded the challenge letter, and as she touched the dark red characters, her fingertips brushed against a trace of viscous blood that had not yet dried.

Suddenly, an image flashed into her mind: Ye Jingnian wearing battle robes, his cheeks splattered with blood, revealing a cruel and bloodthirsty expression in the military tent.

With a "thud," Mu Zhixing's trembling hand suddenly loosened, and the challenge letter fell to the ground.

He wanted her? Not as a wife, not as a negotiating partner, but as a prisoner of war…

Seeing her face turn deathly pale with fright, Mu Jiyue felt even more overjoyed and secretly delighted.

She calmly said, "Your Highness, there's no need to be so alarmed. Your father loves you so much and went through so much trouble to rescue you from Ye Jingnian's clutches. How could he let you take such a risk?"
