The Cold King Demands Love and Pleasure

"Zhuang Lu, you are very clever!" the Empress praised again, after all, the Empress rarely praised someone repeatedly like this.

"But this servant doesn't understand, why would Her Majesty the Empress send Fu Di to his death? Is it simply to lower Prince An's guard?" Zhuang Lu knew that before Fu Di set off, Her Majesty the Empress had given him a medicine that, while not poisonous, could weaken the user's martial arts skills!

The Empress sneered, her slightly aged face showing a few wrinkles. "I want Prince An to live with regret for the rest of his life! Tell me, how would you feel if someone you've hated for nine years died so easily in front of you?"

Zhuang Lu immediately knelt on the ground, saying with a hint of admiration, "Your Majesty's psychological warfare is truly admirable!"

"Alright, hurry up and tell Riel to get things done?"

Mentioning Riel, Zhuang Lu was a little worried, and she asked, "But can Riel handle him?"

"A man's greatest weakness is a woman; don't forget to use softness to overcome hardness!" The Queen sneered, her eyes gleaming as she looked at the candlelight.

Seeing the Empress say this, Zhuang Lu said nothing more, but she was vaguely worried about Rui'er's safety.

Before Riel set off, Zhuang Lu made a point of finding a moment to see her.

"You came!"

Zhuang Lu knew she didn't want to see her, so she placed what she was holding on the table. "This is the antidote!"

"Don't forget to take your things with you!" Riel glanced at the medicine packet on the table, somewhat disgusted.

"It's been so many years, and you still won't forgive me, is that it?" When she mentioned this, a hint of sadness inadvertently appeared in Zhuang Lu's eyes.

Perhaps in her eyes, everything was so unforgettable!

"The word 'forgiveness' carries too much weight; I can't bear it!"

After saying that, Riel prepared to go to bed.

Seeing her like this, Zhuang Lu knew that her visit was completely useless. "Your Majesty the Empress is not as simple as you think. You'd better watch yourself!"

Early the next morning, Riel packed his bags and prepared to leave the city.

Along the way, the Empress sent various informants to pass on information about Min Youan. She chose a teahouse that Min Youan was bound to pass by and prepared to wait for him there in advance!

It was a cold winter day, and after walking for so long, they finally came across a teahouse. Wu Che quickly stopped and said, "Your Highness, it's too cold. Why don't you go in and warm up before you continue?"

Min Youan also felt that he was rushing too much. Moreover, looking from a distance, the teahouse owner was just an ordinary woman. There was no trace of internal strength in her, and there were no people lying in ambush around her!

Thinking that nothing bad should happen, Min Youan nodded and agreed to go in and rest for a while before leaving!

However, the moment they entered the teahouse, they fell into an inescapable trap!

Riel's face was full of undisguised smugness. "Prince An, don't bother. This net is made of thousand-year-old silkworm silk. With your skills, you can't open it!"

"Oh? What if I open it?"

Riel turned his back, showing that he was quite confident in his silken net, and said, "Then I admit defeat!"

Min Youan refused to believe in evil and forcibly used his internal force to try to break through the silkworm net. However, to his surprise, the more force he used, the tighter the silkworm net tightened!

Wu Che hurriedly said from the side, "Your Highness, please stop immediately, or I'll be crushed into a meat patty!"

Seeing that Min Youan ultimately failed to break free of the cage, Riel laughed twice, "I never thought that the famous Prince An would fall into my hands!"

She had already anticipated that, given Min Youan's character, he would definitely try to force his way through the silkworm net. That was the special feature of this silkworm net: it would contract when attacked!

"who are you?"

"Me?" Riel smiled wickedly, shaking off her outer robe, which barely concealed her alluring figure. "Of course, I'm a woman! I never imagined that the dignified Prince An would fall into the hands of a mere woman!"

"It was my oversight!"

"Your Highness, you've overlooked more than just this!" She swallowed a pill, and the internal energy within her body slowly began to manifest!

"How could this be?" Min Youan's dilated pupils betrayed his horror!

"Surprise? Accident?"

Wu Che strained to turn his neck and look outside. "What's wrong, Your Highness?"

"She's an expert!"

Riel picked up his sword and fired a smoke bomb, and the people hiding nearby began to rush towards the teahouse. They had kept a distance to avoid being discovered by Min Youan.

Riel picked up his sword and stabbed it into Min Yoo-an's heart. The force of the stab was clearly aimed at killing Min Yoo-an!

Min Youan used all his internal strength to try to reduce the damage from the sharp sword, but unfortunately, the usable space in the silken net was too small. Even though he had tried his best, he was still seriously injured.

Wu Che, who initially offered to be Min Yoo-an's human shield, failed to fulfill his role and could only watch helplessly as Min Yoo-an was attacked!

Seeing that Min Youan was not dead, only bleeding from his wounds, Riel exclaimed, "As expected of Prince An, he didn't die even after all this!"

She raised her hand and unleashed another powerful sword strike!

Even Min Yoo-an felt at that moment that he was almost beyond saving!

The man appeared silently on the beam, picked up a rat, and threw it straight at Riel's sword!

The rat's sudden attack not only deflected the sword but also startled Riel, causing the sword to change direction and pierce Wu Che's rear end!

"Ah! Rats!" Riel yelled, and the man on the beam stretched. "How noisy! Can't you even let someone sleep in peace!"

Riel had regained his senses by this time. He had no idea how long this man had been on the beam!

Enemy or friend? This was Min Yoo-an's first impression of the man!

The man lightly tapped the pillar and flew down. "Oh, two grown men have been beaten to a pulp by a woman. One has a chest injury, and the other has a butt injury. How adorable!"

Damn, if you didn't know better, you'd think he was singing "Two Tigers"!

"Get out of here if you don't want to die!" He could sense that Riel's men would be arriving soon!

The man then noticed Min Yoo-an's face. "You're really handsome!"

The way he looked at Min Yoo-an was exactly the kind of look a woman gives when she sees a handsome guy!

This man is truly extraordinary!

"What the hell do you mean? Are you trying to save someone or kill them?"

The man looked at Wu Che and shook his head. "I might save the handsome man next to you, but I don't want to save you, you ugly monster!"

"Who's the ugly one!" Wu Che knew he wasn't handsome, but he was definitely not ugly either!

Seeing that he was being ignored, Riel picked up his sword again, "Give it to me..."

Before she could finish speaking, she felt herself unable to move. The man gently brushed her bangs aside and whispered, "Girls should be gentle! You know that?"
