The Cold King Demands Love and Pleasure

"Speechless?" Min Youan looked at her with disgust.

A few seconds later, he picked up his clothes and left the East Garden. His action was witnessed by a maid in the East Garden!

He's a war god, he could have any woman he wanted, but this woman in front of him kept rejecting him!

Whether it was a ploy to win him over or a genuine rejection, it didn't matter to Min Yoo-an.

Because he doesn't love her, she's just a "Princess of An" in name only. As long as she doesn't harm his interests, why not give her to him?

Min Youan arrived at the West Garden and saw that Gu Xue had not yet turned off the lights. He heard the maid Hong Ling say that the prince had arrived.

Gu Xue immediately came out of the room, smiling sweetly as she greeted him, "Your Highness!"

"Ok!"

He simply nodded indifferently.

After Gu Xue helped him finish washing up, she reached out to undo his belt, but Min You'an stopped her, saying, "I'll do it myself!"

Gu Xue's expression darkened. "Does Your Highness look down on Xue'er for coming from a brothel?"

"I'm just not used to being served by others!" In fact, Min Youan didn't know why she was somewhat resistant, even though she was still the same person she was back then.

"Your Majesty..."

Seeing her shy expression, Min Youan knew what she meant, but he still refused her, "Go to sleep! I have to attend the morning court!"

In the morning, Min Youan still got up at 4 a.m. to attend the morning court session. As usual, he dressed himself and did not wake Gu Xue. When Gu Xue got up in the morning and saw that his seat was empty, she began to panic.

She sat up and called out to the outside, "Hongling, where is the Prince?"

Hongling entered the room in response, "Your Majesty, the Prince has already gone to the morning court!"

Gu Xue felt a little disappointed. "He didn't even tell me when he got up."

"Your Highness, the Prince must be feeling sorry for you!"

Gu Xue shook her head. "You don't understand!"

Although it's tiring, what could be sweeter than helping your loved one get dressed in the morning?

Green Duckweed walked in with a stern face. "Are you sad?"

Gu Xue lowered her head and remained silent.

Seeing her aggrieved look, Lü Ping couldn't help but remind her, "Consort Xue, the mistress hopes you recognize your place. You must remember whose person you truly belong to!"

This Lüping was Gu Xue's dowry maid, but judging from the way the two interacted, it didn't seem like a typical master-servant relationship.

As a maid, Lüping seemed to have no respect for Gu Xue whatsoever; on the contrary, she was more like a spy on her!

"Yes, tell Master that I am fully aware of my current identity!"

Green Lotus watched her coldly, seemingly trying to glean some clues from her expression, but her expression remained unchanged, which reassured her slightly. "That's good!"

After Lüping left, she leaned weakly against the bed, thinking about what had happened over the years, which was truly heartbreaking.

Could they never go back to how things were before? The thought caused her heart to ache, and she knew they were drifting further and further apart...

Without Min Youan's interference, Xia Tongsheng slept soundly through the night, until dawn, and her sleep quality was excellent.

If Yingling hadn't run into her room and made such a racket, even the pigs in the Prince's kitchen would have been envious.

"Yingling! Yingling! Don't make noise." Xia Tongsheng was a little irritable after being woken up.

"Miss, wake up! Get up now!" Yingling said in a flustered manner.

"No!" Xia Tongsheng covered her head with the blanket, turned over and continued to sleep.

"We must rise up! There's trouble at the Prince's residence!"

Xia Tongsheng was still in a state of mental confusion; her mind was currently filled with mush.

"Let it be chaotic. Troubled times produce heroes. With this palace in chaos, beauties are likely to emerge! Just let me know which beauty caused the chaos later. But now, I'm going to sleep!" She said softly, her voice lingering under the covers.

Yingling stamped her foot, "Miss, the beauty in the chaotic mansion is named Xia Tongsheng!"

Xia Tongsheng? She thought to herself, "Why does this name sound so familiar?" Two seconds later, she realized, "Damn, isn't that her?"

She lifted the covers and poked her head out, telling Yingling with a somewhat serious expression, "I'll emphasize again, don't use this wake-up trick a second time, or you'll scare away my sleepiness!"

"..." As expected, her young lady thought that she had made up this story to trick her into getting up.

"Get out!"

“Miss, the whole manor knows that you kicked the prince out of bed last night…” Yingling deliberately emphasized the word “kick”.

Xia Tongsheng suddenly threw off the covers and sat up. He was still sleepy, but now the parasites on his body had probably been scared away!

Min Youan was kicked off the bed by himself. If word of this got out in the Prince's mansion, where would he put his face? As proud as he was, how could he tolerate the instigator of this...

The only one who got hurt was Xia Tongsheng. The truth is clearly not like that. It's just that rumors spread like wildfire.

"What! When did I kick him out of bed? And why does the whole palace know about it?"

Thinking of Min Youan's cold, snow-white face, Xia Tongsheng felt a chill and silently groaned, "Why am I always the one who gets hurt?"

Yingling then said, "Actually, you can't blame anyone else. Last night, the prince stormed out of your room with clothes in his arms. Even I thought that you had done something to the prince to make him act like that! Besides, there were so many eyes watching in this courtyard last night!"

Xia Tongsheng protested, "Damn it, are these people out of their minds? They think that just because they saw the prince leaving with his clothes, I kicked him off the bed? He was the one who wanted to leave, it has nothing to do with me!"

“But Miss, the rumors are already circulating. Are you going to tell the whole manor about the intimate details between you and the Prince last night?” Yingling asked tentatively.

Xia Tongsheng rolled her eyes. "Am I stupid? I'd probably die even faster if I did that!"

"But I feel that even if you don't do this, you will die very quickly!" Yingling knew that since meeting the prince, her young lady had finally found her nemesis!

"Yingling, sister, I beg you, please don't remind me that today is my death anniversary, okay? I'm scared!" She patted her chest as she spoke, clearly frightened.

"What time is it now?"

"Chen Shi (7-9 AM)!"

Xia Tongsheng silently calculated that there were still 7 hours until Min Youan's residence, which meant she had 7 hours to deal with this matter. She was practically a crisis management expert!

She forced herself to calm down and clear her mind!

Before long, her gaze swept back and forth over Yingling, carrying a hint of scrutiny, probing, and even a touch of cunning.

Yingling frowned and waved her hands frantically at her, "Miss, don't you dare try anything with me!"

"Yingling, do you love me?"

Yingling nodded cautiously, "Love!"

"If you love me, can't you make a sacrifice for me?"

"Miss, you must be joking. With that expression on your face, do you think I'm going to make a sacrifice? Look at your cunning little face. If I agree to your request, I'm afraid you'll make me disappear without a trace!"
