The queen is crazy and spoiled, and the tyrant bows to her

Uncle Snake originally had a relieved smile on his face when he saw Ji Wuwang walking out of the palace, but the moment his eyes fell on his waist, the smile on his face instantly faded, his eyes widened, and his mouth slightly opened, as if he had discovered something extremely extraordinary.

Uncle Snake strode forward quickly, stretched out his hands and clasped Ji Wuwang's arms, his fingers trembling, and asked excitedly: "Where is the jade pendant you wear around your waist every day?"

Ji Wuwang looked at his excited expression and said nothing.

As if suddenly remembering something, Uncle Snake's heart sank. He looked at him in disbelief and said, "You...you gave the jade pendant away?!"

Ji Wuwang nodded slightly, saying casually, "Yeah."

A simple one-word response made Uncle Snake's heart sink to the bottom in an instant.

His expression was agitated, and his voice became increasingly urgent: "Ji Wuwang, do you know what it means to give the jade pendant to her?!"

"Now she is on the same page with Ji Wuyuan. What if...she gives the jade pendant to Ji Wuyuan..."

"You're going to die!"

"I know." Ji Wuwang smiled and said nonchalantly, "Since the jade pendant has been given to her, it is hers. As for who she gives it to or doesn't give it to, it's entirely up to her own will."

"I said I would give her a home. The entire North is what I built for her..."

"If she chooses me, the North will be the home I've prepared for her. If she doesn't choose me, the North and I will be her support and backing in the future."

Uncle Snake knew very well that there was no point in persuading him.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

For so many years, he has been by Ji Wuwang's side as both a teacher and a father. At this moment, he really cannot agree with Ji Wuwang's behavior.

Uncle Snake was silent for a long time, and finally he sighed deeply, patted his shoulder, and said: "Xiao Qi, people will eventually be trapped by the things they couldn't get when they were young, and they will eventually solve the confusion of their lives because of a moment or a scene."

"Now that you've let go, let's move on."

Ji Wuwang lowered his brows and said nothing.

Uncle Snake spoke again and asked, "What are your plans next?"

"Should we stay in the capital for a few more days, or go back directly to the northern border?"

"Neither..." Ji Wuwang paused, his voice carrying a hint of chilling coldness: "Go to Nanyue."

Uncle Snake was stunned for a moment and didn't say much.

If you go to Nanyue Country at this time, you know why without asking.

He clearly still remembered that when he was in the dungeon a few days ago, the people of Nanyue spread rumors in the capital.

The group mounted their horses and rode away from the capital.

At that time, in the Imperial Garden, Jiang Wantang was sitting alone in the pavilion with a deep gaze, wondering what he was thinking.

A palace attendant hurriedly reported, "Your Majesty, His Majesty is still in Xuanzheng Hall handling official business."

Jiang Wantang said calmly, "Where is the Prince of Zhenbei? Is he in the palace?"

The palace maid nodded, then shook her head and said, "The Prince of Zhenbei has been here before, but he has left the palace now..."

"Leaving the palace?" Jiang Wantang repeated these words softly, his eyes tinged with sadness.

Then she waved her hand, dismissed everyone around her, and sat quietly in the pavilion alone.

Jiang Wantang's mind was filled with complex emotions. After a long moment, she gave a wry smile and whispered softly, "It's good that he's gone, it's good that he's gone..."

Before going to Nanyue Kingdom, Ji Wuwang went to Foguang Temple again.
