High-class Spring Joy

Fei Sheng.

The youngest son of the emperor of the Northern Frontier Kingdom.

He was also the only son of the emperor of the Northern Frontier Kingdom, and the only son who had been protected by all means. With such a status, he was undoubtedly the rightful successor to the throne of the Northern Frontier Kingdom.

This is common knowledge, not only throughout the entire island of the Northern Frontier Kingdom, but also in other countries. The Emperor of the Northern Frontier Kingdom is right; this plan is indeed entirely in accordance with the arrangements of the Song Kingdom. After all, those people only acted because of the Song Kingdom, and they were within the Song Kingdom's territory.

This attack was not actually directly or closely related to the Northern Frontier Kingdom; it was mainly aimed at the Song Kingdom. Therefore, the Northern Frontier Kingdom was in a passive position of cooperation in the planning and execution of this operation, participating but not deeply involved, while the Song Kingdom was in a leading and decisive position.

In this situation, if His Highness the Crown Prince's decisions and plans lead to some unforeseen mishap for the young prince of the Northern Frontier Kingdom, even if it was not intentional on His Highness's part, nor was it due to a lack of meticulous planning or poor execution, it is an extremely low-probability event, one in ten thousand.

This can be considered a huge accident.

But someone has to take responsibility for such a huge accident. Since the plan was proposed by His Highness the Crown Prince, the person in charge naturally became His Highness the Crown Prince.

Therefore, when they heard the emperor of the Northern Frontier Kingdom speak in this way, each person in the Song Kingdom had a different thought.

The King of Song, with a somber expression, had one hand tucked into his sleeve and behind his back as he turned to look at the Crown Prince, whose face was even more grave.

His gaze was heavy and imposing, carrying a sense of authority and weight, and even more so, a suffocating pressure.

Suddenly, the gazes directed at His Highness the Crown Prince became both strange and intriguing.

The Third Prince curled his lips into a smile, the most obvious one on his face. Even though the corners of his mouth were flat and not upturned, anyone with eyes could see the provocation and gloating in his eyes.

The expressions on the faces of the fourth and fifth princes beside him were unclear, showing no obvious emotions.

The atmosphere was oppressive and heavy.

Without even looking up, His Highness the Crown Prince could feel the oppressive aura emanating from the King of Song, and without looking up, he could also see the provocation and smugness in the Third Prince's eyes.

In this situation, the first priority is to stabilize the monarch of the Northern Frontier Kingdom. The Crown Prince heard the crisp sound of pearls falling to the ground behind him, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone present, and the atmosphere eased a little.

His Highness the Crown Prince knew roughly which direction the sound was coming from without even looking.

Just as everyone's gaze fell upon the pearls and jade lying on the ground, His Highness the Crown Prince took two steps forward, clasped his hands in a respectful salute:

"Your Majesty, please calm down... Perhaps things are not as bad as Your Majesty thinks. The young prince may not have been captured by the enemy, nor may he have gotten lost. Perhaps he is hiding somewhere, waiting for us to send someone to pick him up."

The Emperor of the Northern Frontier Kingdom is a man who has emerged from countless battles, large and small. How could he be so easily fobbed off by the Crown Prince's two sentences?

He sneered, flicking his sleeves, truly displaying an arrogant and unruly demeanor: "You think I'll believe you just because you say a few words? I don't care what methods you use, nor how sweet your words sound. The previous situation was your department's plan, and you were the ones who orchestrated it. Since you were involved, you should bear all the responsibility, all the unexpected events, and all the risks. Now that things have happened, you must find a way to resolve them. I don't care about your various explanations or calculations. I only know that Fei Sheng's predicament on your land is due to a flaw in your plan, a negligence that put my Fei Sheng in danger. He is my only son. If I can see Fei Sheng alive and well before nightfall tonight, then everything we discussed before is negotiable, and we can talk about anything again. But if I can't see Fei Sheng, let alone any negotiations, I don't know what will happen."

After saying this, the Crown Prince's already faint smile became even more stiff.

The smile froze on his lips as all eyes fell on His Highness the Crown Prince, and all the pressure and responsibility fell on his shoulders.

Just as His Highness the Crown Prince was at a loss for words, at this most tense moment, a series of rapid footsteps approached, and Chen Sha rushed in with the news:

"Young Master!! Your Highness the Crown Prince!! We've found him, we've found him!!"

As soon as Chen Sha said this, someone rushed forward, put their arms around his shoulders, and said:

"Found him?! Where is he? Where is my Fei Sheng?!"

When Chen Sha rushed into this situation, his first thought was of his own young master, followed by His Highness the Crown Prince. He didn't mention the two monarchs at all. But at this moment, under these circumstances, no one would notice such details. Everyone's focus was on Chen Sha's statement that he had found the person.

The King of Song looked at him with a serious expression: "Found it? Are you sure?"

Shen Sha looked at the two kings in front of her and realized what was happening. She was a little surprised and turned to look at the Crown Prince and her young master.

Fei Sheng?

The young prince of the Northern Frontier Kingdom has not been found yet. He just said he found her, he found Miss Qinghe. After all, the young master has been worried for a long time.

At this moment, Shen Sha realized that he hadn't paid attention to the occasion and had spoken rashly. He must have said something wrong. At least when he met the earnest and serious eyes of the two kings in front of him, Shen Sha's first reaction was to shake his head and explain.

During the brief silence that followed, His Highness the Crown Prince and the Third Prince, who were familiar with Shen Sha, had already realized what had happened. Regardless of what they had found, Shen Sha's earlier statement that they had found something definitely did not mean they had found the young prince of the Northern Frontier Kingdom, otherwise he would not have shown such an expression.

His Highness the Crown Prince was the first to react, rushing to Chen Sha's side and grabbing her to report:

"Your Majesty, yes, we have found him. The little prince has been found, but the place is too far away, so we had to use a messenger. We received the message early and have already sent people to fetch the little prince. However, the horses are traveling much slower in this icy and snowy land, so we are not sure when we will be able to return. Please wait a moment, Your Majesty. We will definitely let you see a living little prince before dark today."

Emperor Zhang narrowed his eyes and looked at the Crown Prince in front of him. His gaze moved up and down, and he looked the Crown Prince up and down for a moment, as if he was weighing the truth of the Crown Prince's words.

At this moment, Chen Sha finally realized what was happening: "Yes, yes, I was just saying that the little prince has been found and we have sent people to pick him up."

His Highness the Crown Prince looked at the Emperor of the Northern Frontier Kingdom, naturally not believing that a few words from him could completely dispel the Emperor's doubts. However, sometimes suspicion doesn't affect anything: "If Your Majesty cannot see a living, breathing prince before nightfall, I will pay with my life for my oversight. I beg Your Majesty not to take your anger out on others."

His Highness the Crown Prince's words made everyone present even more solemn. Perhaps some people, besides being solemn, also had some worries about His Highness the Crown Prince, but the Third Prince's smugness and expectation were clearly written in his eyes, but no one noticed him in this environment.

The fourth and fifth princes exchanged a glance, their emotions clear to each other, though others might not be able to see it clearly.

Everyone's expression was different, and the Emperor of the Northern Frontier Kingdom even more composed himself: "Since you have said so, then I will give you another half a day. After half a day, I must see a living Fei Sheng, otherwise, there is no point in talking about anything else, and you will all bear the consequences."

After saying this, the emperor of the Northern Frontier Kingdom turned and left, and you could tell how anxious he was from his back.

After everyone had left, His Highness the Crown Prince immediately took the Third Prince back to his courtyard to discuss matters.

At this point, how could we possibly catch up with anything else?

His Highness the Crown Prince grabbed Chen Sha and pulled her close: "What did you say you found? It certainly wasn't the young prince of the Northern Frontier Kingdom, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have that expression. Who did you find?"

Chen Sha looked somewhat uncertain, glancing at His Highness the Crown Prince before him and then at his own young master beside him: "What I meant to say is that we have found Miss Qinghe."

As expected, a hint of disappointment appeared on His Highness's face, but he quickly recovered, "It's good, it's good that Miss Qinghe has been found. Finding one is better than nothing, saving one is better than nothing. And what about our men? Do we have any news about the others, like the young prince's son? Isn't there even the slightest clue?"

Shen Sha shook his head and sighed, "All the men under my command have been sent out, and they are indeed searching non-stop. But this place is too big, and we are not familiar with the terrain. Just look at how many snowdrifts there are like the one last time in this icy and snowy place. To find someone in such a place is like turning the whole place upside down."

The third young master grabbed Chen Sha's hand: "How is she? Is she alright? What injuries did she suffer? When I threw her out, I used a bit too much force. Did she hurt anywhere? And did she really come back unharmed? Is she hungry or cold? She's so frail, especially during this special time!"

The third young master sounded very anxious and worried.

"No, no, no, young master. Don't worry, Miss Qinghe is very well. It's probably a bit cold in a place like this, but everything else is fine."

As Chen Sha spoke, he recounted everything he knew in detail:

"Not only that, Miss Qinghe was in a sorry state, but it's already incredibly brave of her to have survived in this freezing weather. Furthermore, she brought back a child, but that child is in a terrible state. I don't know how the child injured their leg; I saw the bone protruding. When Doctor Sai was bandaging the child, I took a look, and the wound was indeed frightening. I don't know how that child managed to get through it."

What was His Highness the Crown Prince so engrossed in? Upon hearing Chen Sha's words, her attention was immediately drawn, and she casually asked, "How old is that child? Could he be the little prince? Chen Sha, you don't seem to have seen the little prince before, and neither do my third brother and I. If Qing He brings him back, how wonderful it would be if the child were the little prince of the Northern Frontier Kingdom."

After saying this, His Highness the Crown Prince himself felt that what he said was too absurd and couldn't help but laugh out loud. He said helplessly and bitterly, "Well, the only thing we can do now is to use all our manpower and resources to search for it. There are no other good ways. We have done everything we can to buy time. Judging from the Emperor of the Northern Frontier Kingdom's appearance, if we don't use such delaying tactics today, we probably won't even be able to get through what just happened."

When His Highness the Crown Prince said this, everyone present knew how difficult it would be to find the young prince of the Northern Frontier Kingdom before nightfall; the possibility was almost zero. But now there was no other way, for better or for worse.

Although the Third Young Master was worried about Qinghe, he couldn't afford to be distracted at this moment. As someone close to the Crown Prince, if the Crown Prince were to take this matter seriously and something bad were to happen to her, he would also be held responsible and would absolutely not be able to remain unscathed.

"You should go and take good care of Qinghe first. Does that mean I'm busy right now and can't visit her? Tell her to rest and recover in peace. As for the little prince, to avoid worrying her, it's best not to tell her."

-

After being bandaged and treated by Doctor Sai, Fei Sheng was given anesthetic powder. Feeling truly exhausted these past few days, he quickly fell asleep.

Qinghe sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Feisheng's condition. Seeing that his complexion was better than before, she remembered that when they were in the wolf pack, this child actually wanted to use himself as bait to save her life.

Qinghe smiled helplessly. He's only a few years old, yet he's so mature for his age. But she's not glad she saved him.

Before long, Qinghe heard a familiar female voice coming from outside:

"Qinghe!! Ahe!! Didn't you say Ahe was found?? Where is she? Bring her out so I can see her!"

Princess Jing'an!!

Upon hearing the voice, Qinghe immediately recognized it.

She's still alive. Listening to that strong, resonant voice, she's not only alive, but thriving.

Qinghe was overjoyed and rushed out. Sure enough, she saw Princess Jing'an rushing into the courtyard.

"Princess! You're alive!"

The moment the two girls embraced, tears welled up in their eyes.

"I thought, I thought something had happened to you!!"

Qinghe couldn't hold back her tears. After this incident, the relationship between the two of them was no longer the same as before.

They could be considered friends who had risked their lives for each other.
