Chapter 453 What's the anger about?
During the journey, Lord Sikong did not speak to Emperor Beizun.
This man has such a terrible temper. He throws tantrums and acts all arrogant at the drop of a hat. She felt she couldn't just let him get away with it. She, Sikong Jin, had to assert her authority as his wife so that she wouldn't have to endure his bullying and his insistence on whatever he said in the future.
However, Di Beizun felt uneasy seeing that Lord Sikong had been cold and indifferent to him the whole way, unlike before when he was not as close to him.
For most of the day, he watched as Lord Sikong rode ahead at a leisurely pace. Whenever he tried to catch up, Lord Sikong would quicken his pace, determined not to ride alongside him...
At first, the young and noble Emperor could tolerate it, knowing that this woman was just being petulant, so he didn't say anything and silently followed behind. However, as soon as Lord Sikong saw him catching up, he immediately spurred his horse forward. After this happened several times, Emperor Beizun finally couldn't hold back any longer and his face darkened.
"A Jin!"
Lord Sikong didn't respond to him at all, but silently increased his speed.
"Sikong Jin! Stop right there!"
Sikong Jin rolled her eyes inwardly, ignored him, and instead bent down to say to Tafeng beneath her, "Tafeng, hurry up!"
Ta Feng increased his speed, which infuriated Di Beizun behind him. His face darkened, and he leaped up, darting across the sky like lightning. Si Kongjin in front of him felt a cool breeze from behind. Before she could react, someone had pounced on her from above and instantly pulled her into his arms. A faint warmth immediately emanated from behind her.
She instinctively struggled for a moment, but he held her hands tightly, their fingers interlocked, so tightly that she felt a slight pain between them.
"let me go!"
Lord Sikong frowned and struggled for a moment.
"You let them go without telling me, and you think you're in the right? Did I say anything to you?"
Emperor Beizun said somewhat angrily.
"I had no connection with them to begin with. At most, we were kindred spirits who met and admired each other. Why are you so angry?"
"I just can't stand you being so concerned about those two good-for-nothings. I've never seen you so enthusiastic about me before. Especially Tuoba Yu, who is a coward from head to toe. When the army was at the city gates, he didn't even have the courage to fight. And you still care about him so much! You even dared to go to his appointment with great enthusiasm. Aren't you worried that if he captures you, he can use you to coerce me?"
How did you know I went to meet him?
“I can tell that the wine that day was the finest Daughter's Red, while Tuoba Yu has always preferred Pear Blossom Wine.”
Emperor Beizun replied with a cold face.
"But as it turns out, Tuoba Yu never considered kidnapping me again! You're overthinking it. I just didn't want to see so many people die. A peaceful resolution would be best."
Hearing this, Di Beizun sighed helplessly, "If it concerns you, I can't help but think it over. If they dare to have any designs on you, I will definitely kill them! You are mine!"
He knew perfectly well what Tuoba Yu was thinking about Sikong Jin, so he had long disliked Tuoba Yu. He had suspected that Sikong Jin had let Tuoba Yu go that day, but now that Sikong Jin had told him about Xifeng Lie, Di Beizun could confirm it directly.
As evening approached, the two finally arrived at a small town.
After that unpleasant incident, Lord Sikong was still sullen, while Emperor Beizun was still coaxing him gently.
“There’s an inn up ahead, let’s rest there tonight. There’s a tailor shop across the street, let’s go and buy some clothes.”
When they arrived near an inn, Di Beizun spoke in a low voice.
Sikong Jin shrugged without replying. He dismounted briskly in front of the inn, handed the riding whip to the waiter who came to greet him, and then strode into the inn.
Upon seeing this, Di Beizun frowned, his eyes turned cold, and he dismounted and followed.
"Boss, two superior rooms, please!"
Lord Sikong strode in and tossed a silver ingot to the shopkeeper who was calculating on an abacus at the counter. "Prepare some good wine and food and bring it to the room!"
Upon seeing the gleaming silver ingot, the shopkeeper happily grabbed it and nodded, "Alright! Alright! Waiter, quickly take this gentleman to the upper floor, two—"
"A superior room!"
Before the shopkeeper's voice had even finished, Di Beizun's icy voice came over, like a gust of cold wind sweeping past his ears, causing the shopkeeper to startle subconsciously, almost frozen into an ice statue. He subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man in a black cloak following behind Sikong Jin.
Emperor Beizun was completely hidden under a large black cloak, concealing his cold and beautiful face, revealing only a pair of unfathomable eyes with a hint of bewitching charm. However, the aura emanating from his body gave people an indescribable sense of suppression.
The innkeeper couldn't help but tremble slightly. Ignoring everything else, he nodded repeatedly, "Waiter! Quickly take these two to the top-tier room as well, and bring them the best wine and food right away!"
However, before the shopkeeper could finish speaking, Di Beizun's tall figure strode forward, following Sikong Jin.
The waiter quickly led the two to the top-class room, prepared tea, and soon the food and drinks were served.
By this time, the sky had darkened, and the town was bustling with activity at night. You could hear the noise and commotion coming from the street outside while sitting in your room.
Inside the room, the lanterns had already been lit, and a table full of delicious dishes was laid out.
Lady Sikong removed her black cloak, washed her hands, and sat down at the table. Emperor Beizun sat opposite her and poured her some wine, but Lady Sikong refused to drink it. Instead, she took another empty cup and poured herself some wine, showing no respect whatsoever.
This time, Di Beizun finally couldn't hold back any longer. He pulled back the wine glass with his large hand, and the exquisite glass instantly turned into powdery fragments!
"How long are you going to stay angry with me, Ajin?"
She felt her good temper was almost completely worn away; he had been saying nice things the whole way, and she hadn't uttered a single word.
Because of Tuoba Yu and Xifeng Lie!
The young and aloof Northern Emperor was extremely annoyed. He even vowed in his heart that if he ever saw these two people again, he would take their lives without saying a word!
He was so angry!
In the past, who would have dared to treat him like this? Everyone would have served him with utmost respect. Yet, he had to be extremely careful around her!
