The Cold King Demands Love and Pleasure

She had thought his appearance was her lifeline, but now she realized that what she thought was a straw was actually a shark's tail.

Take her to an even deeper abyss...

He bought her first night at a higher price. Gu Xueyuan thought meeting him would be easy, thinking that Min Zhifu knew about her relationship with Min Youan. She just didn't expect that before she could even speak, things would turn out differently.

He began to undress, and she strained to stare, but it was all in vain. She could only silently weep as she watched him defile her body, consumed by her hatred.

She never wanted to experience that feeling of wanting to scream but being unable to do so again in her life!

Once the effects of the drug that made her mute wore off, she tearfully questioned him, "Second Prince, why did you do this to me? You knew perfectly well..."

"Know what? Know what you and my fifth brother are doing, right?" He smiled coldly.

He reached out and hooked Gu Xue's chin, pinching it hard. "That's how I want it. I want him to suffer a fate worse than death!"

At this moment, the naive Gu Xue finally understood that there was no family affection in the royal family!

And she too became his person, his woman, and his pawn!

After that, he threw her into a brothel. Although she didn't have to entertain customers all day, she still had to serve Min Zhifu at night. The entire brothel was then acquired by Min Zhifu!

Min Zhifu had made a grand plan. A year later, he orchestrated a situation where Min You'an would meet Gu Xue, who was working in a brothel.

He knew that, given Min You'an's temperament, he would definitely save Gu Xue. However, Gu Xue had entered the brothel by imperial decree and could not leave without the emperor's permission. If he wanted to save her, he would have to beg the emperor, which would surely displease the emperor.

As Min Zhifu had predicted, the emperor was furious and confined Min You'an to his quarters. Even so, Min You'an did not give up his determination to save Gu Xue.

So when Min Zhifu received the news that Min Youan was going to marry Gu Xue, he knew that his chance had come.

He found Gu Xue and threatened her, saying he could help her cover up their affair and restore her innocence, but she would have to become his spy.

Gu Xue disagreed. Min Zhifu threatened to tell Min You'an about their relationship, preventing them from getting married. Gu Xue thought about it and realized that she had finally gotten a chance to escape the brothel. She didn't want to lose it or betray Min You'an.

So at the time, she thought that as long as she married Min Youan and didn't work for Min Zhifu, it would be fine.

However, she was unaware at the time that everything had already changed.

Since he met Xia Tongsheng, Min Youan seems to no longer have the same feelings for her.

Now she can only cling to Min Zhifu's coattails and ask him for help, otherwise she won't have a place in the Prince's mansion!

At least, it's clear from Li Fuqi's situation that the Crown Prince is still on his side.

Thinking of this, Gu Xue felt a little better, and she slept peacefully that night.

The next morning, Min Zhifu woke up early because he had to attend the morning court session. After Gu Xue helped him get dressed, she did not rush back to the Prince's Mansion, but stayed at the restaurant until noon before going back.

This was arranged by Lü Ping to prevent others from finding out that Consort Xue was staying out all night.

She will definitely take back the position of princess!

After surviving the assassination attempt, Xia Tongsheng and her group continued their journey. Just as the army was about to enter the pass, a rustling sound came from the jungle. Xia Tongsheng was not alert and thought it was the noise made by tigers or leopards in the forest.

Min Youan was a man who had experienced all kinds of real combat. He had been resting with his eyes closed, but suddenly his expression turned sharp. He lifted the carriage curtain and said, "Cang Jue!"

Cang Jue reined in his horse and retreated, "Your Highness!"

"Did you hear that?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

He exuded an aura of murderous intent that he could not conceal.

Cang Jue nodded, "I just don't know what kind of force it is!"

"Pass down the order! Maintain full alert!"

Having arranged everything, he kept his eyes closed. Xia Tongsheng looked at him and asked, "Your Highness, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Shut up!"

Xia Tongsheng quietly shut her mouth.

At this moment, he had no time to waste words with her; his mind was racing, wondering whose people were hiding in the woods!

Two battles took place in one day!

Sure enough, not long after, the leader shouted "Kill!" and the people hidden in the mountains and forests came out one after another, running towards them. Their shouts were enough to make Xia Tongsheng's heart pound wildly.

People kept coming from all directions. Judging from their attire, they didn't have uniform clothes, or even protective armor. Some carried spears, some carried machetes, and some even brought kitchen knives from their homes.

Although Min You'an only brought a thousand personal guards, each of them was a top-notch fighter. From the moment they spotted the enemy, these guards were already prepared for battle with a rigorous fighting attitude, and the carriage where Min You'an was located was also surrounded and kept safe by Cang Jue.

These people could easily take on ten opponents.

“Your Highness! These are all commoners of Baiyue!” Xia Tongsheng recognized them from their attire as ordinary people from Baiyue.

"I don't need you to remind me!" Min Youan said sternly.

Xia Tongsheng knew he couldn't persuade her, so he could only nervously watch the situation outside. The more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong. Why were these personal guards like empty shells, unable to resolve the issue with a single civilian for so long, and just entangled with them?

I originally thought Min Yoo-an's personal guards were incredibly powerful, but now it seems they're nothing special!

As time went on, Xia Tongsheng noticed that many of Baiyue's civilians had fallen, but few of Min Youan's personal guards had fallen. Logically, since the two sides were evenly matched, there was no reason for such a large difference in strength!

She continued to watch intently and discovered that one soldier was fighting against ten civilians, and in this one-against-ten situation, his men were actually gaining the upper hand.

It was only later that they learned that Min Youan knew, back in the capital, that a battle between them and the people of Baiyue was inevitable. He had already issued a military order that, unless absolutely necessary, no civilian lives should be taken.

That's why Min Yoo-an's personal guards appeared to be evenly matched!

Cang Jue retreated from the battlefield. "Your Highness, this won't do. It's taking too much to our men's health. They can't hold out much longer!"

Min Youan opened his eyes and pointed at a young man in black linen clothes in the distance, "Bring him to me!"

Cang Jue followed his finger and saw a young man dressed in plain clothes. He immediately used his lightness skill to step over the man's head and go over.

The distance was too far, and Xia Tongsheng didn't see exactly how they fought. However, after about 5 minutes, Cang Jue subdued the person and brought him to the carriage.

Seeing their leader arrested, the people of Baiyue suddenly became disorganized.

They were all subdued in no time.

Min Youan stared at him for a while, then asked, "What's your name?"

The boy in black linen clothes twisted his head, remaining silent. The hatred in his eyes, however, was unexpectedly chilling.
