The Cold King Demands Love and Pleasure

Suddenly, Min Zhifu made a request, "Father, I feel a little unwell in my stomach. I'll leave for a while. You can eat slowly!"

The emperor was pleased and, without saying anything, waved him away.

Seeing the Crown Prince leave, Min You'an's face darkened. "Father, I'd like to go check on Sheng'er first. I'm a little worried!"

A ripple appeared in the Emperor's eyes, but it vanished without a trace in an instant!

After Min Youan left, he went straight to Mochen Palace, but there was only Yingling lying there, and Xia Tongsheng was nowhere to be seen!

He clenched his fists, his unease confirmed, and it was simply unbearable!

"Investigate! Find the Princess Consort within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!" he commanded the dark night behind him.

A man dressed entirely in black, completely concealed, immediately emerged from the darkness. "Yes!"

He woke Yingling, his face filled with an endless chilling aura, "Where is the Princess?"

Yingling was still half asleep, but when she saw Min Youan's face, she instantly woke up. "He's inside!"

But when she went inside, there wasn't a soul in sight. Not even a turtle, let alone the princess!

Before Yingling could figure out what was going on, a man in black suddenly appeared behind him, "The Princess is at Phoenix Palace!"

Phoenix Palace?

His expression suddenly turned sinister. "I never expected them to go to such lengths!"

Without thinking about the consequences, she used her lightness skill to head towards Phoenix Palace. She was so fast that Yingling didn't even see how she disappeared!

Inside Phoenix Palace, candles shone brightly, creating a strangely romantic atmosphere.

He went in and pushed open the door!

He saw Xia Tongsheng lying unconscious on the bed, and of course, he also saw another person! A man!

And that man's lips were moving across Xia Tongsheng's face!

"Your Highness!" His voice was exceptionally cold, like the chill from the deep sea, devoid of any warmth, and even carrying a hint of anger!

"I didn't expect you to find me so quickly!" The Crown Prince wasn't angry at all, and gently stroked Xia Tongsheng's face!

Min Youan was surprisingly calm. "What, do you feel that I've disturbed your good time?"

"Of course!" The Crown Prince showed no shame whatsoever for being caught cheating; on the contrary, he seemed to take pride in it. "Your sister-in-law's body is so supple; Fifth Brother is truly blessed!"

Min Youan plucked a leaf from the flowers on the table and slashed it at Min Zhifu with a whoosh. The fierce energy emanating from the leaf extinguished several candles in the room.

The leaf grazed Min Zhifu's cheek, leaving a thin, long cut on his face. "I warn you, if you touch her again, I will make you wish you were dead!"

Min Zhifu lightly touched the wound with his middle finger, looking at the bloodstains on his finger. "Oh! What's wrong, feeling sorry for me?"

The Crown Prince wasn't stupid; he knew, of course, that now was not the time to confront Min You'an head-on. He stood up and quietly walked to Min You'an's side. "In return, I'll tell you something: Father Emperor knows you've come to Fengqi Palace! You'd better think about how to explain yourself later!"

A scheme within a scheme! Min Youan hadn't expected the Crown Prince to act so quickly. He immediately planned to carry Xia Tongsheng away first, but before he could even pick her up, the guards had already surrounded Fengqi Palace!

Min Youan looked at Xia Tongsheng lying on the bed. What were the chances of leaving with her now? Even so, he had to take the risk, otherwise he would be discovered in Fengqi Palace...

The Crown Prince returned to the banquet, and the Emperor was hurrying out. Min Zhifu knew that the Emperor was going to Fengqi Palace. "Father!"

The old emperor completely ignored him and walked away!

When he arrived, there was no sign of Min You'an and Xia Tongsheng in Fengqi Palace. All that remained were empty rooms and floors covered with red candles!

"Didn't they say someone broke in?" The emperor's voice was somewhat cold.

The emperor's personal eunuch, Cha Mian, said, "It must be a stray cat that alerted the guards!"

He responded with a deep "Mm!"

He turned around and looked at the untouched objects in the room, but when his eyes fell on the flower on the table that was missing a leaf, he knew that someone must have been here!

But who exactly is that person? To be able to slip past layers of guards and escape, he must be a master. There are only a few people in the palace with such abilities, and Min Youan is one of them!

"Everyone get out!"

When the Emperor returned to the banquet, Min You'an was already seated in his place, drinking wine with a calm expression, seemingly without any sign of distress. "An'er, you're back so soon? Didn't you spend more time with Sheng'er?"

"Your Majesty, she is asleep, so I came here!"

The emperor gave Cha Mian a meaningful look, and Cha Mian understood what the emperor meant. He immediately sent people to investigate the whereabouts of Min You'an and Xia Tongsheng!

Min Youan caught a glimpse of the emperor's action out of the corner of his eye, and slightly raised his eyes. He figured that this time, Eunuch Cha would have to return empty-handed!

He had already arranged everything!

The banquet finally came to an end. Min You'an strode towards Mo Chen Palace. Ying Ling stood guard in front of Xia Tongsheng with trepidation, not daring to blink even once. She was afraid that her young mistress would disappear right under her nose again!

Otherwise, the prince would be terrified. Compared to sleep, life is more important.

Min Youan entered the room, picked up Xia Tongsheng, and left Mochen Palace. Yingling followed closely behind, running the whole way because Min Youan was walking too fast!

Although she was very tired, she didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of offending Prince An!

Back at the Prince An's residence, Min You'an took her straight to his own courtyard. He placed Xia Tongsheng on the bed and noticed the bump on her forehead. Remembering what Min Zhifu had done to Xia Tongsheng earlier, anger surged within him!

"Get some water!"

Yingling dared not disobey and immediately went out to fetch water.

She dampened her handkerchief, intending to help Xia Tongsheng sober up, but the moment his hand touched her forehead, Min Youan was reminded of the scene at Fengqi Palace!

"go out!"

His rebuke startled Yingling, who glanced at Xia Tongsheng and could only leave.

Min Youan picked up the towel and rubbed it hard on Xia Tongsheng's face, as if that would wash away the scent of someone else lingering on her skin.

He only stopped when her cheeks turned red with pain. "Xia Tongsheng, if one day you betray me, I will make you wish you were dead!"

Then he took off his clothes and pinned Xia Tongsheng down. His kisses landed softly on her forehead, the tip of her nose, and her lips, lingering for a long time before moving downwards to her collarbone... Then he restrained his desire to continue.

He stood there on top of her, but after a long pause, he still didn't make a move!

He didn't want to take her virginity under these circumstances! At least not today!
