The Cold King Demands Love and Pleasure

Fortunately, Gao Wei is a person who can see the situation clearly, so Min You'an's efforts to wait for him for so long were not in vain.

Finally, Min Youan looked at Gao Wei and said, "Cang Jue, arrange a position for him!"

Cang Jue clasped his hands in a fist salute, "Yes!"

The army began to advance. Cang Jue placed Gao Wei in an inconspicuous position within the army. Before Cang Jue left, Gao Wei asked, "Are all the soldiers in this unit experts?"

Cang Jue thought for a moment, then gestured with his hand to indicate the length, "My martial arts are a bit better than yours!"

Gao Wei sighed, "Before I met you, I was the most skilled person in the entire Hundred Readings, but I never expected that I would be captured by you in just a moment!"

Cang Jue patted him on the shoulder and said in a particularly smug tone, "Don't try to compete with me, I'm an expert!"

"And what about the prince?" Gao Wei asked curiously.

Cang Jue shook his head, "I never compare myself to him!"

“Indeed, Your Highness is of noble birth, and it is enough for us to protect him!” Gao Wei felt ashamed of his ignorant question.

Cang Jue's tone was somewhat dejected, "No, that's because, just like the difference between you and me, I can't compare to him! So I never compare myself to him!"

Ah! Gao Wei was completely bewildered. Just how skilled was that man? He was like a brilliant North Star, shining brightly above him and becoming a guiding light on his path!

Finally arriving at Baiyue, the carriage stopped. Cang Jue rode his horse closer to the carriage and said to Min You'an inside, "Your Highness, officials from Baiyue are coming out to greet you."

Min Youan lifted the carriage curtain, glanced at them, and sneered, "A bunch of hypocrites!"

After saying that, he lifted the carriage curtain and got out of the carriage. Xia Tongsheng immediately followed him and jumped off the carriage. Unexpectedly, this action aroused Min Youan's dissatisfaction.

He stared at her, a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Upon seeing Prince Min, the prefect immediately led his entourage to kneel and pay homage, saying, "This humble official greets Prince An!"

Min Youan then looked away from Xia Tongsheng, but the aloof Prince An was unwilling to pay them any attention and walked straight past them. After walking about two or three meters, Cang Jue signaled the adults to get up.

Although the prefect and the vice-prefect were somewhat embarrassed, they could not show their anger and could only continue to receive Min You'an with their old faces.

The prefect immediately trotted up to Min You'an, bowed respectfully, and said, "Your Highness, please!"

Min Youan glanced at Xia Tongsheng, pulled her to his side, and started walking forward.

"Your Highness, you must be tired from your journey, so let's take a stroll around the city today. Tomorrow, after Your Highness has rested, I will take you to see the flood site!" the prefect said.

Xia Tongsheng looked at the smooth street, where there wasn't even a single beggar looking for food, and couldn't help but scoff. How could a disaster-stricken area be so peaceful in the city? He really didn't know if the prefect of Baiyue was too clever or too stupid.

She could see the trickery herself, so Min Youan must have seen it too. She turned to look at him, and there was a hint of anger between his brows.

"Your Highness, look, these streets are really beautiful! The Prefect is truly a capable administrator. This is the first time I've ever seen a disaster area so clean!" Xia Tongsheng deliberately made things difficult for him.

After all, how could the aloof prince be allowed to do something that would cause him to lose points?

The prefect's face darkened, but he had no choice but to shamelessly explain, "This is because the people of Baiyue greatly admire the Prince, so when they learned that the Prince was coming, they all tidied up their homes to show their respect for him!"

"Oh! That's true. If the people revere the prince so much, why isn't there a single person lining the streets to welcome him?"

The prefect, standing to the side, chuckled obsequiously, "Oh, young master, please stop. You didn't see what happened just now. All the people were gathered together, waiting to catch a glimpse of the prince's majesty. But the prefect was afraid that the large crowd would cause a riot, and even more afraid that there might be assassins mixed in among them. If the prince were to be injured, that would be terrible! So the prefect went to great lengths to persuade the people to leave. Fortunately, these people are all reasonable, otherwise we officials would really have had a hard time handling this!"

Xia Tongsheng looked at the magistrate, who appeared to be in his forties. He had a pointed face and a monkey-like appearance, and didn't look like a good person at all, but he was good at talking.

Look at what they just said! It not only vividly expressed how worried the prefect was about the prince's safety and how much he talked to him, but it also showed how well-mannered the people of Baiyue were—they did whatever they were told!

But is that really the case? All that talk and effort was probably just a lot of hard work to keep the people confined to their homes!

Xia Tongsheng feigned sudden realization, "Oh, so there are assassins trying to kill Your Highness in the Land of Hundred Readings. Your Highness, it seems you'd better take good care of yourself!"

Min Youan looked at the sharp-tongued Xia Tongsheng beside him and shook his head noncommittally, "How can my life be taken away by some people as they please?"

Then he gave Xia Tongsheng a slight smile, indicating that her assist was well done!

Wu Che rubbed his eyes. Had he just seen things? Was his prince looking at him with gentle eyes?

Damn, really!

It's terrifying!

The prince actually showed a tender expression towards a man!

Wu Che quickly shook off the goosebumps on his body.

Previously, these guards always "complained" that the prince was too cold. But one day, their prince was no longer cold, and they discovered that he was actually gay.

No, he was inwardly frantic, as if his own hands were tearing him apart from head to toe, screaming inwardly, "No, this isn't real! Their prince must be a real man!"

"Your Highness, you jest. I was just worried about assassins. Baiyue is always peaceful and people leave their doors unlocked at night."

Min Youan sneered, "Since that's the case, then so be it!"

He wandered around the city, finding it all rather dull. The prefect had concealed all his true feelings, and even if he continued to wander, he wouldn't find any useful clues. "Go back!" His indifferent tone was tinged with coldness.

Just three words, yet they were enough to send a chill down the spine of the prefect.

A meal had been prepared in the prefectural capital, and Xia Tongsheng was already starving. Looking at the table full of delicious food, she swallowed hard. Her stomach kept urging her to sit down and start eating, but her mind controlled her hands. She told herself, "I must wait for the Prince to start eating!"

Seeing the prince take his seat, the prefect and the vice prefect also sat down with smiles on their faces.

Cang Jue picked up his longsword and stood in front of them, saying, "His Highness doesn't like outsiders present when he eats!"

The prefect's face turned slightly green, but he still smiled and stood up. "Young Master Wang, let's go!"

Min Youan spoke coldly, saying, "She's my wife! She doesn't need to leave."

Ah!

The prefect and the vice-prefect exchanged a glance. Could this "wife" be the same person as that "wife"? Isn't it only one's own wife who is called "wife"?

Is it true, as rumored, that Prince An has homosexual tendencies?
