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

As Shi Feng finished speaking, the already cold air around him instantly froze.

Shi Feng, sitting on horseback, had a stubborn look on his face as he stared straight at the person in front of him, showing no intention of backing down.

Shi Lin was speechless for a moment when he heard this, but he knew in his heart that the other party was right.

Their prince's obsession with Miss Jiang Er has long gone beyond the scope of ordinary people's understanding.

The prince is still the cold and aloof prince, but when it comes to the matter of the second young lady Jiang in the palace, he becomes surprisingly stubborn.

The night was dark and the cold wind was raging, but Ji Wuwang's figure was still as straight as a pine tree. The light in his eyes flickered for a moment, and he soon returned to his cold look.

The howling north wind blew the frost and snow off his shoulders, causing the horse beneath him to shudder. However, he seemed unaffected by the cold, simply gazing quietly into the distance, his gaze deep and distant...

Seeing Ji Wuwang's lack of reaction, Shi Lin was worried but didn't dare to say anything more. He could only glare at Shi Feng fiercely and warned him in a low voice: "Stop talking!"

"Our prince knows his own limits, it's not your turn to point fingers here!"

Shi Feng, however, became stubborn. He had endured all the way, but he refused to give in and said with his neck stiff, "Do you have any sense of propriety?"

"What sense of propriety does the prince have now?"

"For a woman who had no feelings for him at all, he even disregarded his own safety and the safety of the North!"

"That damn emperor is celebrating his wedding, so proud of himself, that he clearly dislikes our northern border. Yet, Your Highness is still rushing to the capital. Isn't this courting humiliation?"

"Shi Feng!" Shi Lin shouted, a flash of anger in his eyes. "If you dare to say another word, I'll have you abducted and taken back to the Northern Territory!"

Shi Feng sneered and refused to give in: "Tie me back? Okay! Then tie the prince back too!"

"Look at him, does he look like he'd listen to advice?"

"He's willing to sacrifice his life for Miss Jiang Er. How could he care about the Northern Territory?"

Ji Wuwang remained silent, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

His eyes were always looking towards the direction of the capital, as if he could see the prosperous yet cold imperial city through the layers of wind and snow, and the beautiful figure that haunted his dreams.

As soon as he received the news of the emperor and empress's wedding, he rushed to the capital without stopping.

Because Ji Wuyuan deliberately concealed the information, Ji Wuwang received the news with a delay. In addition, as soon as he received the news, he heard that the wedding date had been moved forward by more than a month.

Therefore, he was trying his best to rush to the capital, and even in the face of the blizzards that had been going on for days, he did not dare to stop for a moment.

Shi Lin saw that Ji Wuwang still had no reaction, and he became increasingly anxious. He rode forward and whispered, "Your Highness, although Shi Feng's words were rude, his words... were not without reason."

"Miss Jiang is now the future empress. If you rashly enter the capital, you'll probably fall into that bastard emperor's trap. As the year draws to a close, the northern border still needs you to stay. You must think twice!"

Ji Wuwang finally reacted. He suddenly tightened the reins, and the horse's hooves drew a deep mark on the snow. The flying snow fell on his snow-white cloak, making the coldness between his brows even more chilling and biting.

He slowly turned his head, his eyes fell on Shi Lin, his voice low and cold: "You are right, the North needs me..."

When Shi Lin heard this, he was delighted, thinking that his prince had finally listened to him.

However, the next moment, Ji Wuwang's words made him feel like he was falling into an icy cave.

"But, she's getting married..."

As he spoke, a bitter smile appeared on his lips: "The little girl I personally raised and cared for... is getting married..."

Upon hearing this, Shi Lin and Shi Feng were both stunned.

Shi Feng opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Shi Lin's sharp look forced him to swallow it back.

Ji Wuwang's gaze once again turned to the distance, his eyes filled with complexity and sorrow, his voice so soft that it was almost drowned out by the wind and snow: "I know, she doesn't need me."

"Even if she doesn't need it, even if she is already standing beside him, even if she is already wearing a phoenix crown and a red robe, I will go to see her..."

Ji Wuwang's voice was low and hoarse, as if every word carried a heavy weight.

His gaze was still looking into the distance, but there was a hint of unspeakable pain and regret in his eyes.

"I have missed her growth. The past cannot be retrieved, and the regret... can never be made up for." He murmured in a low voice, as if talking to himself, or as if talking to Fengxue.

"Now, I have to see her marry in style, and live a happy and carefree life... before I can convince myself that letting go is the right... choice."
