The Cold King Demands Love and Pleasure

He knows his woman too well; it's not in her nature to let a grudge go unpunished!

What's more, when I said I wanted to see the child that day, she didn't stop me at all. There must be some conspiracy involved!

With this in mind, Min Youan understood everything!

So on this day, when he wanted to see the child, he didn't go in person, but instead sent Cang Jue to bring the child to him!

Cang Jue received the order and went to Xia Tongsheng's courtyard. Fearing that Xia Tongsheng would not want to see him, Cang Jue waited outside the gate and asked Yingling to report to him.

Yingling, unsure of what Cangjue wanted to do there, turned and went into the room with a suspicious look in her eyes. "Miss, Cangjue is here!"

Xia Tongsheng frowned. "What's he doing here?"

"Miss, if you don't want to see him, I can just send him away. Why bother wondering why he came?"

She thought for a moment, then her beautiful brows relaxed. "No, let him in!"

"What? Come in?" Yingling thought she had misheard. When had the princess ever allowed another man into the room?

However, Yingling immediately understood Xia Tongsheng's intentions. Her young lady was really petty. Even when Cang Jue came, she wanted to provoke the prince!

Just think about it, a guard can see the princess, but the prince can't. He can't see his own wife, but other men can. Isn't that a blow to his pride?

Cang Jue also realized this problem. In order to prevent the prince from getting jealous, he cleverly did not enter the room, but stood at the door and talked to Xia Tongsheng.

"Your Highness, the Prince wishes to see the child. Please allow me to bring the young princess to him for a look!"

"This!" Xia Tongsheng hesitated. If the child wasn't by her side, it would be difficult for her to control the overall situation!

"Tell the prince that I'm worried about safety outside. If the prince wants to see the child, he should come in person!"

"His Highness is busy in his study right now and can't leave. With your subordinates protecting the young princess, isn't Your Highness worried?" After all, she is a martial arts master. How could she not protect a little girl?

"I'm worried!" Little Yuetong is the apple of her eye. Even if Cang Jue were to protect her closely, or even if she herself were to risk her life to guard Little Yuetong, she still felt that her child might not be safe!

"But the Prince ordered his men to seize the young princess at all costs, otherwise his men cannot return! You know the Prince's temper; he never fails to accomplish what he sets his mind to!"

In fact, there was another meaning behind Cang Jue's words. He was advising Xia Tongsheng not to fight against the prince anymore, because the prince would definitely win in the end!

Xia Tongsheng naturally understood the deeper meaning in Cang Jue's words, and thought that rather than Cang Jue taking the child away, it would be better for her to have Ying Ling send the child away herself!

After all, Yingling is one of our own!

"You can take the child with you, but I need Yingling to send the child over there. I'm not comfortable with you sending the child over there!"

Cang Jue nodded, "Thank you, Your Highness, for not making things difficult for me!"

Then they escorted Yingling and Xiaoyuetong to Min Youan's study!

When Min Youan saw Yue Tong, he didn't rush to hug her. Instead, he went to Ying Ling's side and looked at the child in Ying Ling's arms!

The child even greeted him with a smile, not at all like someone who was shy around him!

Sure enough, there was something fishy going on here!

Min Youan glanced at Yingling out of the corner of his eye, "I can see that you really like the little princess!"

"Yes, this servant thinks the young princess is very beautiful and well-behaved; everyone likes her!" She dared not speak ill of the young princess in front of the prince!

Do you really think you can say to the child's father that your child is ugly, noisy, and disobedient?

"Since you like it so much, why don't you have one yourself?"

"Your Highness is joking. This servant is not married yet, how could I have a child!"

How did the conversation suddenly turn to myself?

Yingling thought to herself, "Could it be that the prince has fallen for me? Does he want me to have his child?"

Absolutely not! I can't betray Miss!

But if the prince really falls in love with her, how can she refuse him without hurting his feelings and still leave unscathed?

As expected, she's a drama queen! I can't mess with her. I never expected that Min Youan's one sentence would trigger so many scenarios in her mind!

It must be said that Yingling has a truly rich imagination!

However, the prince's words interrupted all of Yingling's reverie the next second!

"I see you've reached marriageable age! Tomorrow I'll find you a good husband, and you can marry into that family!" So you can join your young lady in dealing with me!

Hmph, if I don't scare you, you probably won't know who owns this Prince's Mansion.

Upon hearing this, Yingling realized that the prince was going to kick her out, so she quickly knelt down with her child in her arms. "Your Highness, please don't! I'm still young and don't want to get married. I want to serve the princess and the young princess for the rest of my life!"

Now is a good time to show your loyalty!

Min Youan's gaze suddenly turned cold, like ice and snow in the twelfth lunar month, sending chills down one's spine. "If you don't want to get married, then answer my questions properly!"

"Yes, Your Highness, please ask whatever you wish, and I will answer to the best of my knowledge!"

"I ask you, why does Yue Tong cry when she sees me?" Min You'an stared intently into Ying Ling's eyes, his expression terrifying.

Yingling dared not meet his gaze.

"This, this..." Yingling lowered her head, looking at Xiaoyuetong who was innocently biting her fingers, not knowing what to say.

Seeing that Yingling was stammering and speaking unclearly, Min Youan was already certain that there was something he didn't know!

"Speak, or I will betroth you to someone else today, and the princess won't be able to stop me!"

"This servant says that the little princess is crying because every time the prince holds her, this servant puts a few drops of lily water in her swaddling clothes!"

Min Youan was confused. What could a few drops of lily water possibly do? "Hmm?"

"The young princess is naturally sensitive to lilies. Whenever she smells them, she bursts into tears. So the princess has been using this method to deal with the prince!"

Min Youan was furious. How could they use such a method against him? His daughter was allergic to lilies. Shouldn't he have kept her away from lilies as little as possible?

He snatched the child from Yingling's arms. "Cangjue, quickly go and fetch the imperial physician!"

"Yes!"

Before long, the imperial physician arrived. Seeing the prince's ashen face and his anxious expression as he held the child in his arms, the physician knew that today's task was no simple matter; if he didn't do it well, his career might be over!

"Greetings, Your Highness!" the imperial physician hurriedly greeted.

"Come quick, this child cries every time she smells lilies. Is she allergic to lilies? Is it harmful to her health?"
