The Cold King Demands Love and Pleasure

Xia Tongsheng covered her swollen left cheek, feeling incredibly angry!

But when she thought of Min Youan's mother, who was also like a second mother to her, she suppressed her anger!

Let's assume their mother has a mental illness and suddenly had an episode, which is why she hits them!

So she patiently asked, "Mother, what's wrong?"

Consort Jing was already angry, and seeing Xia Tongsheng's innocent expression only fueled her anger. "Do I need to tell you what you did?"

"What's wrong? What did I do?"

Xia Tongsheng just couldn't understand how she had offended this immortal!

Moreover, being slapped for no reason or explanation felt like being bitten by a dog while walking down the street!

The important thing is, that dog wasn't a mad dog!

If it were a mad dog, she could at least console herself that she was just unlucky!

She wasn't a mad dog anymore; she felt like she was the one who was disliked. She was just walking along the street when a dog took a dislike to her and bit her!

To achieve that, one must possess an immense amount of "personal charisma"!

Seeing that Xia Tongsheng was still pretending to be stupid, she took out a small figure with Min Youan's birth date and time written on it and threw it in front of Xia Tongsheng!

"Look at this, this is the mess you've made!"

Xia Tongsheng looked at the poorly made "rag doll" at her feet!

Then he turned to look at Gu Xue standing to the side, and finally understood, "Mother, did Consort Xue give this to you?"

Consort Jing was still quite happy. Xia Tongsheng and Gu Xue were tearing each other apart, and she hoped someone could suppress Xia Tongsheng!

In that case, Xia Tongsheng wouldn't be so arrogant!

So she directly "confessed" to Gu Xue, "Yes!"

"Mother, can't you see how obviously this is a frame-up?"

"What do you mean? Are you saying I'm old and blind?" Her tone was filled with anger!

"Of course not, how could I dare! I only wanted to remind Mother Consort not to be misled by treacherous people!"

Gu Xue quickly corrected herself, "Your Highness, you're wrong to say that. I only came to tell my mother about what happened at the Prince's residence, and I didn't embellish anything! How can you say that I'm inciting my mother?"

"Incitement?" Consort Jing looked up at Xia Tongsheng. "I'll tell you the truth, I've already sent people to investigate. There are no fewer than ten scoundrels, big and small, in your courtyard!"

Xia Tongsheng was shocked: Ten villains!

How come she didn't notice at all?

Regardless of the truth, Consort Jing really did find a villain in her own courtyard!

She quickly explained, "Mother, these belong to Li Fuqi, they have nothing to do with me!"

"If she did it, then these things should be hidden in her room, not in your East Garden!"

Her eyes darted around as she thought of an explanation. "Mother, as you know, the Prince's courtyard is heavily guarded and very well protected. She definitely can't get in. Since she can't go into the study, then naturally we'll put her in a place the Prince frequents! That is, my East Garden!"

The prince's courtyard was difficult to enter, unlike his own courtyard, where any Tom, Dick, or Harry could come in!

It is said that the prince often visited the East Garden!

Consort Jing became even angrier. "Yes, An'er does often go to your courtyard. I remember that there were several times when An'er skipped the morning court session because of you! If you hadn't used these evil spells, why would An'er have skipped the morning court session?"

Seeing that Consort Jing was convinced of her guilt, she found it laughable. "Mother, are you so sure it was me who did it?"

"I have already explained. Even if this thing is in my courtyard, I didn't make it. It was clearly Li Fuqi who made it! If you don't believe me, go and investigate!"

Consort Jing retorted, "If you didn't do it, how could it have appeared in your courtyard? Don't you know that the Emperor hates it when people do these things, and that these evil things will turn on An'er and take her life! You really are a woman who will stop at nothing to achieve your goals!"

Xia Tongsheng was about to retort when Consort Jing continued, "It must be you. If it weren't for you, how could An'er have been sent to Yudong? Do you know how deep the waters are in Yudong!"

Now Xia Tongsheng understood. It turned out that Consort Jing didn't want to find out the truth at all; she just wanted to take the opportunity to deal with her!

In fact, Consort Jing originally liked this daughter-in-law, after all, Xia Xiuyong was also an important minister of Bei Min!

However, ever since she married Min Youan, her son has faced all sorts of problems every day, and this time he has even been sent to eastern Henan!

Upon seeing the little man, she naturally wanted to take this opportunity to teach Xia Tongsheng a lesson!

So they don't care about the truth at all!

Xia Tongsheng really wanted to go up and knock Consort Jing awake, but then she thought better of it!

Daring to hit the emperor's wife could have very serious consequences!

Moreover, she still had to give the prince some face!

Seeing that she couldn't escape this time, she felt like cursing in her heart. "Since Mother doesn't believe me, how do you plan to punish me?"

"Considering that you are An'er's legal wife and deeply favored by him, I do not intend to punish you severely. From now on, you will live in Jing'an Palace and copy Buddhist scriptures a thousand times. You are not allowed to leave the palace until you finish copying them! I hope that the Princess Consort will cultivate her mind and character during these days!"

Xia Tongsheng sneered inwardly. She was the one who had been wronged, yet she acted as if she was so magnanimous!

Xia Tongsheng truly admires the art of speaking!

But then she suddenly remembered!

Buddhist scriptures, a thousand times!

Xia Tongsheng did a rough calculation!

She recalled that in modern times, the most famous Buddhist scripture, the Taisho Tripitaka, consisted of more than 100 volumes and contained 1335 million words!

If we calculate it according to this number, one thousand times would be 1335 million words!

Looking at this number, Xia Tongsheng felt that she really needed to cultivate her character!

1335 million words, and he had to write them with a brush that he wasn't even familiar with!

By the time she finishes writing, she'll probably be too old to live!

Can one not cultivate oneself?

Isn't this just a twisted version of "life imprisonment"?

It's considered perverse because at least a life sentence means you don't have to work, but I have to copy scriptures every day!

Compared to this, it's not even as good as life imprisonment!

Xia Tongsheng mourned his miserable state, thinking that since he was in such a bad situation, it would be a real disservice to his right hand if he didn't ask someone to share his suffering!

So that my right hand can work well in the future—copying scriptures!

She decided to give her right hand a little treat first!

Xia Tongsheng picked up the little figurine and looked at Gu Xue, "This is the one you gave to your mother, isn't it?"

"Yes, I cannot stand idly by and watch Your Highness be in danger!" Gu Xue continued to promote her "kind and virtuous" image!

Xia Tongsheng thought she put on a really good show, so she raised her hand and slapped her!

The crisp sound shocked everyone present. No one expected that Xia Tongsheng would be so bold!

How dare they hit Gu Xue in front of Consort Jing!

Yingling, standing to the side, looked at Xia Tongsheng with her heart pounding in her throat!
