The Cold King Demands Love and Pleasure

Xia Tongsheng, of course, understood what his wife meant, and choked on a mouthful of rice.

Her mouth was full of rice, her face flushed. "When did Your Highness stop liking to eat with outsiders?"

Min Youan turned her head and looked directly at her, the warning in her eyes unmistakable, "It always has been!"

Xia Tongsheng moved her lips, but wisely kept them closed.

After dinner, Min Youan began to deal with the matter, while Xia Tongsheng was arranged to rest in the back room.

Although she really wanted to help him, given her current physical condition, she was afraid she was willing but unable to do so. Right now, she was suffering from a splitting headache due to lack of sleep!

As the great Chairman Mao said, "Health is the foundation of revolution!" So she plans to take care of her "foundation" first before she can "make a revolution"!

Yingling pushed open the door and looked at Xia Tongsheng, who was sleeping soundly like a dead pig. She shook her head helplessly. Her young lady really did sleep wherever she went. She really had no "elegance" at all!

At least pretend you're not used to sleeping in the same bed, that way people will think you're "noble"!

She deliberately cleared her throat loudly, and when Xia Tongsheng didn't react, she stepped forward and nudged her, "Miss, no, young master, get up and eat!"

"It's not even dawn yet, why are we having breakfast?" Xia Tongsheng opened her eyes, glanced out the window, and then closed them again.

Yingling's face darkened. "Miss, it's evening now, we're having dinner, not breakfast. Are you still half asleep?"

"Ah, I slept for so long?" Xia Tongsheng patted her forehead to wake herself up. "Where is the Prince?"

Yingling handed Xia Tongsheng her coat that was draped over the stool, saying, "His Highness is still busy in his study, so he instructed you to eat first!"

"okay!"

Xia Tongsheng got dressed, got up, and ate breakfast. Looking at the empty side hall, with only Xia Tongsheng at the large dining table, she suddenly felt a bit lonely. As a result, she didn't have much of an appetite.

"Yingling, prepare some food for me, I'll take it to the Prince!"

Yingling replied with a mischievous smile, "Young master is so thoughtful, I'm afraid the prince will be moved to death!" As she spoke, she drew out the last word, making Xia Tongsheng feel that this girl was mocking him!

"Keep laughing, you'll have your day!" Xia Tongsheng said fiercely, looking at her petite figure.

A moment later, Yingling came over with the food. "Miss, here, it's up to you now!"

Xia Tongsheng glared at her, snatched the food box, and walked away with an arrogant expression.

Seeing Xia Tongsheng standing outside the door with a food box, Min Youan put down his work. "Why are you here? Where's Cang Jue?"

Xia Tongsheng stepped inside. "Didn't you send Cang Jue out? So only I, your virtuous and gentle 'wife,' am here to bring you food!"

“From now on, let Wu Che come!” Min Youan coldly tossed out these words, basically ignoring her flirting.

Xia Tongsheng pouted and placed dinner on the table. "Do you dislike me that much?"

Min Youan stood up and went to the dining table. "I'm not used to it!"

It's much more comfortable to hear that you're not used to it than to hate it, and Xia Tongsheng wasn't a petty person, so she let it go immediately. "Is Baiyue's matter very troublesome?"

Min Youan nodded, "It's a complex situation, and it also involves a very important person, so I'm not entirely confident either!"

Xia Tongsheng brought out the chicken soup, blowing on it gently in hopes that it would cool down quickly. "With Your Highness's abilities, I believe in you."

Hearing "I believe in you," Min Youan felt a warmth in his heart. In this deceitful era, how much courage does it take to believe in someone!

Seeing him staring at her blankly, Xia Tongsheng thought she had just eaten and had rice grains on her face. "Your Highness, is there something on my face? Why are you staring at me like that?"

Min Youan shook his head and changed the subject, "Actually, from the very beginning, I had already fallen into the trap, which means we are very likely to die here!"

Xia Tongsheng's expression froze, her hand trembled, and some of the chicken soup in the bowl spilled out, scalding her fingers. "Ouch!"

Min Youan noticed the spilled chicken soup out of the corner of his eye, but instead of showing any concern, he made sarcastic remarks, "If you're so cowardly, why did you come?"

Although the situation is tricky, it doesn't seem to pose a life-threatening danger at the moment. Min Yoo-an was just trying to scare her.

Xia Tongsheng stubbornly refused to admit it, "Who said I'm a coward!"

"Then why are you shaking?" Min Youan retorted.

Xia Tongsheng put down the chicken soup. "Can't my fingers dance if they want to?"

"Hmph!" Min Youan ignored her and ate his meal by himself, then went about his business.

Xia Tongsheng originally wanted to ask him about Ying Shu, but seeing how busy he was, she didn't say anything in the end. She knew what was important and what wasn't urgent.

Each person has their own room at night, and Yingling sleeps in the same room as Xia Tongsheng, which is easy to manage.

The next day, the prefect took Min You'an to the flood-stricken area, Shifang County, downstream of the Wei River.

This was the first time Xia Tongsheng had seen the flood-stricken area in person. Originally, Min Youan did not plan for her to come, but she insisted on coming after seeing her.

He feared that she might sneak in and follow him, just like she did last time when she came to Baiyue, which would be even more dangerous.

There was no other way but to grant her request. However, he refused Yingling's request to come along; one woman was already troublesome enough, and another one was absolutely out of the question.

Floods and earthquakes are the most terrifying things in Xia Tongsheng's memory. Both of these things have the destructive power to devour everything in an instant!

In her previous life, when the Ya'an earthquake struck, Xia Tongsheng was working on a team project in a city not far from Ya'an. At the moment the earthquake hit, she thought she was going to die, but fortunately, that earthquake was relatively minor. She survived.

But who knew that she could escape her fate, but not her destiny?

Xia Tongsheng looked at the ruins everywhere, the puddles everywhere, and the muddy ground underfoot, but no one said anything. They just silently stepped onto the mottled ground.

A number of people were dealing with the body nearby, including government officials and relatives of the deceased.

Xia Tongsheng didn't dare to look. To be honest, even though she had lived for so long and had already died once herself, she was still afraid of dead people.

But this woman, who was so afraid of death, transmigrated to an era where death was commonplace.

Min Youan wandered around for a while. Because he was with Xia Tongsheng, he could only wander in relatively easy and safe places, but apart from being in a mess, he could not find any useful information in these places.

Left with no other choice, he left Xia Tongsheng behind and planned to take Cang Jue with him to see other places.

"Wu Che, you stay here to protect Young Master Wang!"

Although Xia Tongsheng also wanted to go, she knew she couldn't cause any more trouble for Min Youan, so she obediently stayed with Wu Che and waited for Min Youan.

"You'd better watch yourself!"

"I don't need your reminder!" Min You'an said, and Cang Jue led a group of people to the other side of the river using their lightness skills.

Xia Tongsheng made a face at his back, thinking, "What's with the act of being so cool!"
