The Cold King Demands Love and Pleasure

Chapter 25 Living and Dying Together

"You say I'm faking it!" A glint appeared in his eyes.

Ever since he learned that the prince was going to summon his fiancée, Feng Yuhan seemed to have gained confidence, "Yes!"

"I'm not putting on airs!"

Feng Yuhan began to recount, "You pretended to be poor, and I generously helped you support your hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers. But the truth is, you're not poor at all; you're about to become richer than a country!"

"You said you have no one you can trust, and that breaks my heart. I resigned as the young master of the manor to come and help you. And then what? Where do you need people? Your network of connections has already extended to several major countries, including Nan Ye Bei Chen and Xining!"

"Now you say you feel sorry for me and are helping me bring my beautiful wife over, but you know perfectly well that my beautiful wife has me completely under her thumb. You're clearly punishing me for letting the princess into the courtyard!"

"You're nothing but a beast in human form!"

"Hmm?" Min Youan raised her beautiful eyes slightly. "Are you finished speaking?"

"It's over!!"

"You can leave now!"

After Feng Yuhan left, Cang Jue suppressed a laugh and asked, "Your Highness, weren't you angry when Young Master Feng said those things about you?"

"Don't be angry! His future will be much worse than mine!" Even Min You'an, who was usually serious, couldn't help but laugh when he thought of Feng Yuhan's "beautiful bride".

"I never imagined that the dashing and debonair Young Master Feng would be so afraid of his wife!"

Upon hearing "Madam," Min Youan's smile froze instantly. "Go and 'invite' the Princess over!"

Cang Jue was puzzled. Looking at the prince's sinister expression, did he mean a regular "please" or a special "please"?

Although I'm not entirely sure what's going on, having been by the prince's side for so long, I know how to conduct myself properly.

Before long, Xia Tongsheng was brought before Min Youan.

She glanced at Min Youan, who was working at his desk, then knelt on the ground. "Greetings, Your Highness!"

Min Youan raised his eyes, rested his left hand on his chin, and asked threateningly, "Was the forbidden area fun?"

Xia Tongsheng's palms were slightly sweaty. "Your Highness, I really didn't mean to go in there. It was truly an accident!"

"careless?"

Xia Tongsheng nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice, to prove her innocence.

"Since it was an accident, it must be that Your Highness and Yue'er are destined to be together. In that case, I would like to ask Your Highness to take care of Yue'er!"

Her eyes widened in disbelief. What did this mean? Wasn't he just blaming her for entering forbidden territory? Why was he being so polite now? Was he faking it or was he genuine? She really couldn't understand him!

"Your Highness is too kind. Yue'er is a clever and quick-witted child, and I like him very much. Moreover, as Yue'er's mother, it is only right that I take care of him!" Xia Tongsheng thought that Min You'an could not find fault with her words.

"Since that's the case, if anything happens to Yue'er, I will hold you responsible!" Min You'an, afraid she wouldn't understand, stared at her fiercely and said, "In other words, if he dies, you must die too! Do you understand?"

She loved Min Yanyue, that was true, but why should she have to live and die with him? She was indignant. "Why?"

"Just because you entered the forbidden area!"

If this woman hadn't entered the forbidden area without permission, Ying Shu wouldn't have discovered her "affair," and she wouldn't have kicked the door open in a fit of rage. Min Yan Yue's identity wouldn't have been exposed!

All of this trouble stems from the woman in front of him!

Xia Tongsheng smiled helplessly. What a convenient excuse! "Your Highness has spoken. What other choice do I have?"

Seeing that she was so sensible, Min Youan's expression softened a bit. "Good that you understand!"

“However,” Xia Tongsheng immediately made a request, “for Yue’er’s safety, I hope that the greeting system can be abolished, so that I can take care of Yue’er wholeheartedly!”

"As long as Yue'er is safe, everything else is none of my concern!"

Well, to be honest, this isn't really a punishment. Anyway, Yue'er will take good care of herself without him saying anything. In fact, this time it's a blessing in disguise, as she doesn't have to face those women in the mansion.

However, the news that a seven-year-old grandson of the emperor had suddenly appeared in the Prince An's mansion spread throughout the capital overnight, even alarming the emperor.

The next day, after court, the emperor specially kept Min You'an behind and asked him to bring the child to the palace so that he and Consort Jing could see him.

Although Min Youan was somewhat embarrassed, he had no choice but to agree.

He returned to the Prince's residence and took Min Yanyue to the palace. The father and son barely communicated on the way, and the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

The Emperor was already waiting in Jing'an Palace. It was clear that he still cared a lot about this grandson of the Emperor.

From afar, one could see a child following behind Min Youan. The child's demeanor was very similar to Min Youan's, with fair, delicate skin that was quite pleasing to the eye. The Emperor was delighted that a grandson of the Emperor had suddenly appeared.

Only Consort Jing was somewhat uneasy. She knew her son too well. How could he have given birth to a 7-year-old child out of nowhere?

Min Yanyue entered the room and knelt down, "Father, this is Yue'er!"

"Grandson pays respects to His Majesty," Min Yanyue said, lifting his hem and kneeling solemnly on the ground.

"Good! Get up!" The emperor is getting old and also hopes to enjoy the joy of being surrounded by his children and grandchildren, just like ordinary people.

Although he is only 7 years old, under Min Yoo-an's training, the child's mind is already no different from that of an adult.

However, he understood how to win someone's favor by pretending to be a child. "Grandpa, Father told Yue'er that you are the wisest and kindest person in the world. He said you will definitely like me, right?"

"Yes! Of course Grandfather loves Yue'er!"

Consort Jing looked at the child before her, her face smiling, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. "An'er, what's wrong with this child?"

This statement also caught the emperor's attention. He dismissed Min Yanyue and stared at Min Youan, wanting an explanation from him.

Min You'an coughed softly and began, "Eight years ago, I was fighting against the barbarian tribes in Sog, but I was unexpectedly struck by their witchcraft and was severely injured and forced to wander. It was Yue'er's mother who saved me, and I secretly developed feelings for her. Later, for a time..."

Min Youzan feigned embarrassment, “Later, I became pregnant with Yue’er, but not long after, the barbarian tribes discovered my whereabouts and attempted to assassinate me. In order not to implicate her, I had to lure them away alone. On the way, I happened to meet Cang Jue, who was looking for me. At that time, the army was in chaos, and I was busy dealing with military affairs, so I left my mother. Later, I sent people to look for her, but they had disappeared. A few days ago, I finally found my mother, but she was already seriously ill and unfortunately passed away on her way to the capital! Originally, I planned to tell Father about this, but at that time, Father was arranging my marriage, so I had to keep Yue’er’s matter a secret for the time being.”

"I see!" The emperor's tone was calm, revealing no emotion.

Min Youan had already made arrangements, so even if the emperor investigated, the result would only be the same as what Min Youan said!
