The Cold King Demands Love and Pleasure

Nine years have passed. Although Su Tie has grown old and can no longer accompany Min You'an in his campaigns, he is still highly regarded by Min You'an!

However much he valued Su Tie, Su Tie was ultimately old, and like some others, was destined to disappear from this world...

Cang Ling returned to the Prince's Mansion and hurriedly informed Xia Tongsheng that His Highness the Crown Prince and the Prince were on their way to the mansion.

Did the prince say anything?

"The prince said that the princess should feed the horses hay!"

Seeing that Cang Ling also looked dazed, Xia Tongsheng knew that she couldn't count on him!

She didn't understand what "feeding hay" meant, and even after racking her brains, she couldn't figure out that hay had any other meaning!

Perhaps what the prince meant was not those words at all, but simply wanted Cang Ling to come back and deliver the message?

Thinking of this, Xia Tongsheng looked at Cang Ling and blinked, "Want to cooperate with me in putting on a show later?"

"Okay!" Cang Ling is most willing to act; don't forget, he's a natural-born actor!

She whispered a few words in his ear, then hurriedly ran outside!

Without saying a word, he grabbed Gong Bingjian's hand and pulled him into the palace!

"What are you doing?"

She pulled at him with all her might, but Gong Bingjian didn't budge an inch. "Come, I'll let you into the palace!"

"The prince isn't here, but you shouldn't have..." He hesitated for a moment before finally leaving the rest of his sentence unsaid.

Xia Tongsheng simply thought he was worried that Min Youan would be angry if he found out that he had let him into the mansion without permission. "Don't worry, the prince won't blame me for doing this!"

Gong Bingjian frowned deeply, seemingly disgusted. "The Prince won't blame you, but Yi Bai will!"

Xia Tongsheng never expected that Gong Bingjian would be such a well-behaved child. Just because Yi Bai didn't like or didn't want him to enter the palace, he actually refused to enter!

"It's okay, Yi Bai is just all bark and no bite, he'll forgive you!"

Gong Bingjian felt that the woman in front of him was beyond redemption. He tried to break free from Xia Tongsheng's grasp, but the woman used too much force and he couldn't pull his hand away. "Even if Yibai forgives me, I won't do this!"

Xia Tongsheng was anxious. The Crown Prince would be arriving soon, but Gong Bingjian was still lingering at the gate and refused to leave or enter the palace. What would happen if the Crown Prince discovered something amiss?

She grew anxious, her tone sharp, "It's just entering a prince's mansion, why are you acting like you're about to die?"

"Is it just going to the Prince's mansion?" Gong Bingjian looked at Xia Tongsheng holding his hand!

She looked up at Gong Bingjian, then down at their clasped hands, and quickly shook them off. "What are you thinking? The Crown Prince is coming soon. I just wanted you to hide in the Prince's residence! I didn't mean anything by it!"

"Really?"

"Of course it's true!" If there were a mirror right now, Xia Tongsheng would definitely want to take it out and look at herself to see if she looked that thirsty.

How could Gong Bingjian misunderstand me? I don't think I've ever openly or secretly expressed my feelings for him...

Seeing that time was running out, Xia Tongsheng couldn't care less about anything else and urged him to come in, "Come in quickly! The Crown Prince is almost here!"

Gong Bingjian was somewhat skeptical, but to prevent his identity from being exposed, he still followed Xia Tongsheng into the palace!

When Yi Bai saw Xia Tongsheng leading Gong Bingjian, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Why did you bring him here?"

"Stop talking nonsense. I not only brought him here, but I also want to kick you both out!" What kind of time is this for these two to still be flirting?

"Why should I?" I finally found such a great place, how could I just leave so easily?

"The Emperor has ordered His Highness the Crown Prince to come to the Prince's residence to find you. Why aren't you leaving? Are you waiting to be captured alive?"

Since he had just lied to Yi Bai that the emperor was looking for his whereabouts, wouldn't the crown prince's arrival be a perfect way to prove what he had said?

"Catch alive?"

Without saying a word, Yi Bai turned and left!

Unfortunately, Cangling came to report, "Your Highness, it's too late! The Prince and the Crown Prince are already at the door!"

"What about the back door?"

"Although the Crown Prince only brought Qing Tong as his attendant on the surface, some people of unknown origin appeared at both the front and back gates of the Prince's residence. They must be the Crown Prince's spies!"

Eyeliner?

I still have my mascara on!

Xia Tongsheng was somewhat blaming Gong Bingjian and Yi Bai. It was all their fault for being so slow; otherwise, they wouldn't have been blocked at the door!

Xia Tongsheng pretended to be troubled, thought for a while, and then said with a hesitant expression, "Currently, there are only two places the Crown Prince will not search, so you can only hide there for the time being!"

"Where?"

"One is a place to greet the sun—Mingchen Pavilion, and the other is a place to enjoy tranquility—Yizhu Residence!"

Xia Tongsheng spread her hands, "You two choose!"

Upon hearing about these two places, Cang Ling couldn't help but laugh out loud, only to realize that the two people were watching her. She quickly composed herself, "I just thought of something funny! Sorry!"

Yi Bai and Gong Bingjian were having a little tiff, so naturally they wouldn't choose to stay in the same place!

So Yi Bai chose Mingchen Pavilion, and Gong Bingjian naturally chose Yizhu Residence!

Xia Tongsheng sent men to take the two of them to their respective territories!

"Your Highness, why are you doing this to them?"

"This is karma!" They were supposed to be disobedient? One insisted on standing like a statue at the entrance of the Prince's mansion, and the other flirted with her husband?

Thinking about their reactions when they arrived at their destination, Cang Ling couldn't help but laugh again!

However, reality is always more exaggerated than he imagined!

When Yi Bai arrived at Mingchen Pavilion, he was dumbfounded...

Gong Bingjian arrived at Yizhu Residence and froze...

The two quickly abandoned the person leading the way and ran to Xia Tongsheng with lightning speed!

The two of them used all their strength to stop themselves from beating Xia Tongsheng up!

Yi Bai, her face flushed, was the first to accuse, "What Mingchen Pavilion? The name sounds nice, but it's just a chicken coop!"

When Gong Bingjian heard Yi Bai say that Mingchen Pavilion was a chicken coop, he was somewhat disdainful. What's so great about a chicken coop?

His chiseled face was somewhat bluish-black. "Your Mingchen Pavilion is considered good, but do you even know what Yizhu Residence is?"

Cang Ling was afraid she would burst out laughing, so she pinched herself beforehand!

"It's a pigsty!"

Xia Tongsheng not only had to try hard to suppress her smile, but also had to put on a serious face and explain to them solemnly, "The Crown Prince is definitely here to search the Prince's mansion. The only places he won't go are the chicken coop and the pigsty!"

Her earnest manner made people almost believe her!
