The Cold King Demands Love and Pleasure

Actually, the fact that Min Youan was accidentally stabbed by Nan Leci during the battle between the two armies was itself a scheme.

He wanted Nan Leci to lower her guard because of his injury, but he didn't expect Nan Leci to be even more cautious than he had anticipated.

Chu Jieling was chasing after them with great momentum, while Min Youan in front ordered his soldiers to discard their weapons and armor, hoping to make the scene more realistic.

During this time, Min Yoo-an even fought a battle with them. To show that he was really at a disadvantage, he deliberately ran away while fighting.

Finally, when they reached the Suspended Sky Gorge, Min You'an stopped.

"General Chu, you've been chasing me all this way, aren't you tired?" The steed beneath him neighed at the opportune moment, as if cheering on its master.

Chu Jieling wasn't flustered, but just sighed, "Heh, it seems Lord Nanle was right, he knew all along it wouldn't be that simple!"

Min Youan casually toyed with the horse's mane in his hand. "Then you still dare to chase after it?"

Chu Ziyong wiped the snow off his face. "That's because this general has a restless and unruly heart!"

"Your dissolute lifestyle will only hasten your death!" His dark eyes, like dry wells, were fixed on Chu Jieling.

"Really?" Chu Jieling refused to believe it, and a few snowflakes landed on his rough face.

Min Youan shot an arrow into the sky, the signal to begin the operation, but there was no sound from the surroundings.

The surrounding air was eerily still, with only the occasional rustling sound of wind carrying snowflakes.

He was startled to notice a strong smell of blood in the air. He initially thought the blood belonged to the soldiers around him, but when he realized that the soldiers who had been lying in ambush on the mountaintop were silent, he became alert.

No, the smell of blood is definitely much stronger now!

"what have you done?"

Chu Jieling grinned and pointed to the sky, "Look up!"

Cang Jue followed the gaze of Nan Leci, who was dressed in white and standing on the mountaintop on either side of the mountain stream. His white clothes stood out so much in the wind and snow that it was clear he had been there for a long time!

“You’ve lost this round!” Nan Leci communicated with Min Youan through her internal energy.

"is it?"

Snowflakes brushed against his eyelashes, and the two gazed at each other with deep affection across the distance...

No, they're competing!

Xia Tongsheng suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart, and the bowl she was holding accidentally fell to the ground.

The loud noise startled the infant outside.

As soon as I entered, I saw her clutching her chest in pain. "Miss, what's wrong?"

She frowned, as if savoring the lingering pain from the excruciating agony she had just experienced. "How is the situation on the frontier?"

"Miss, are you worried about the Prince?"

Xia Tongsheng immediately composed herself, "No, since I've decided to distance myself, why would I still care?"

"You can fool others, but can you fool me?" She pulled the dragon and phoenix jade scroll from Xia Tongsheng's arms. "You carry this jade scroll with you every day. Is this what you mean by severing ties?"

She gave an awkward laugh, the bitterness at the corner of her mouth barely concealing her true feelings. "Making fun of me?"

"How could I make fun of you, Miss? I just feel sorry for you!" She bent down to pick up the broken pieces of the bowl.

As the two were talking, a rustling sound suddenly came from the wardrobe concealing the tunnel, and they became alert.

"It's me, open the door!"

Upon hearing Mo Chen's voice, Xia Tongsheng quickly had Yingling move the wardrobe aside to let Mo Chen in.

"How did you come?"

"Something's happened in Yanxiang, you need to go there right away!"

"Let Yingling go if there's anything to do. I can't go right now!"

It wasn't that Xia Tongsheng didn't want to go, but her pregnancy was now too obvious to hide, so she had handed over all her work to Yingling.

Mo Chen glanced at Ying Ling and shook his head, saying, "Ying Ling can't handle it. Someone from Yan Xiang came and insisted on taking Miss Ji away!"

"I've seen this kind of person before. Just kick them out, why make such a fuss? Did you have to come and invite me?"

"Don't blame me, this matter is really difficult to handle. That man is the son of the Vice Minister of War, and he brought over a hundred soldiers to surround Yanxiang. No matter how good my martial arts are, I can't move the entire Yanxiang!"

Xia Tongsheng cursed under her breath before getting up. "I'll go take a look!"

"Miss, your stomach..." Yingling was a little worried that Xia Tongsheng's identity had been exposed.

"It's alright, just cover it with the heater!" She took the heater and covered it with a thick blanket.

The large heater was hidden on her belly, which could also serve as a cover for Xia Tongsheng's belly.

Upon arriving at the entrance of Yan Lane, Mo Chen deliberately stopped her at the door, asking, "Are you just going to go in like this?"

"Otherwise what?" She looked herself up and down.

He pointed at Xia Tongsheng's feet, "Didn't you tell the girls that you injured your foot and were resting at home?"

"That's just an excuse!"

“Wait a minute,” he pushed out a wheelchair, “get in, I’ll push you inside!”

"Not bad, very thoughtful!"

"Let's go!"

At the entrance of Yanxiang, she was surrounded by soldiers in armor. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Mo Chen pushed her inside.

Upon entering, she found Ji Shuihan being restrained by two soldiers. When she saw Xia Tongsheng, she felt somewhat apologetic.

She was touched to see Xia Tongsheng, who was seven months pregnant, come to save her.

"who are you?"

Xia Tongsheng said coldly, "General Yang, the owner of Yan Lane, you don't even know the background of Yan Lane, yet you dare to cause trouble. Do you think your father, Yang Su, can protect you?"

"You!" He glanced at the frail "man" in front of him, not thinking she had any powerful backing, so the slight worry in his heart disappeared. "I've taken a liking to this little girl and plan to send her into the manor. This is an honor for your Yan Lane!"

"Honor?" Xia Tongsheng retorted. "If you could give her the title of a principal wife, I might consider letting her go. But everyone knows that a girl who leaves a brothel can only ever be a concubine! Do you think it's an honor for the top courtesan of Yan Lane to become a concubine for a third-rate general?"

If it weren't for his father's influence, how could General Yang be so arrogant?

General Yang's face turned green. "Even if she's a concubine, it's still a blessing for this little girl!"

"But I really have to ask this girl, Shui Han, are you willing?"

Ji Shuihan immediately shook his head without the slightest hesitation, "I don't want to!"

Xia Tongsheng smiled, as expected, she hadn't embarrassed her. "My Yanxiang Alley may not be a big shop, but principles can't be compromised! I said I'd sell my art, not my body, and that's it! Otherwise, how can I convince people? You should just give up!"

"I'm definitely taking her away today! My little beauty, tonight is our wedding night!"

Night my foot!

"I'd rather die than go back with you!" Ji Shuihan remained stubborn.

"What do you mean by 'die'? You're mine. Even if the sky falls, I'll still be here!" Xia Tongsheng was annoyed by her constant talk of death, and her emotions couldn't help but fluctuate.
