The Cold King Demands Love and Pleasure

Guiguzi glanced at Xia Tongsheng, thought for a moment and decided not to say anything that might provoke the tigress. Eating was more important!

After the meal, Xia Tongsheng prepared to clear the dishes!

Yingling quickly stepped in, "Miss, you rest, I'll take care of it!"

Yingling had learned her lesson this time. She thought that her mistress was angry because she was tired from cooking, so she would make sure her mistress rested well after the meal.

Otherwise, if this young lady gets angry, the whole family will suffer!

While Yingling was packing her things, Min Youan left with Xia Tongsheng, and then Mu Zexi also left.

Guiguzi looked at himself, who had just been in the eye of the storm, and suddenly found himself all alone!

Except for the baby in my arms who can't walk yet, everyone who can walk has left!

"Looks like you're the only one with a conscience!" he teased Yuetong.

Yingling lowered her head somewhat shyly, "Sir, the young princess is about to have her meal, so I've come to take her to find the young lady!"

"Oh, okay!" The child wanted to eat, so even if Guiguzi was unwilling, he had to obediently return the child!

Now that my arms are empty, I'm truly all alone!

Originally, excluding travel time, Min Youan only had three days to rest in Yunmeng Mountain. Once the three days were up, the two prepared to leave!

Even if Master Guigu was reluctant to part with the two of them, there was nothing he could do.

Beijing!

When Cang Jue heard that he had returned, he hurriedly went to the gate of the Prince's Mansion to greet him!

Seeing Xia Tongsheng also beside Min Youan, a hint of unease flashed in his eyes!

"Your Highness, I have something to say to you!"

Xia Tongsheng immediately understood the subtext: this is something you can't hear about.

She tactfully said, "Your Highness, since you have other matters to attend to, I will take Yuetong back with me first!"

"Mm!" Min Youan turned around, took Xiao Yuetong from Xia Tongsheng's arms, and then helped Xia Tongsheng down from the carriage!

Seeing Xia Tongsheng alight from the carriage, Min Youan handed the child to her, saying, "You go inside first, I'll be there shortly!"

Xia Tongsheng nodded and went back first, looking virtuous and gentle!

"Yingling, go and find out what major events have happened in the Prince's mansion while we were away!"

"Yes!"

Since Cang Jue was able to talk about it behind her back, and the look in Cang Jue's eyes when he looked at her just now clearly showed some guilt, Xia Tongsheng's intuition told her that this matter was not simple!

Min Youan ordered his servants to take the carriage away. "Speak, what is it?"

"Your subordinate has made a mistake," Cang Jue knelt down as soon as he entered the Prince's residence, "After Your Highness left, someone went into your study!"

"And we even discovered a secret chamber!" Cang Jue lowered his head even further, seemingly out of guilt, and his posture became less upright.

Min Youan frowned, his lips turning slightly downwards. "Who?"

"It's Gao Liang!"

"What did she find out?" Knowing it was Gao Liang, he guessed that Gao Liang might have come to his study to look up some things about her father.

But there are so many important things in the secret room of his study. No matter which one of them Gao Liang discovers, the consequences will be unimaginable!

"I don't know exactly what was discovered, but I've placed her under house arrest, awaiting Your Highness's return to deal with her!"

Min Youan quickened his pace, "Why didn't you tell me about something so important this morning?"

"Your Highness, you and the Princess are resting, so I dared not inform you!"

Min Youan abruptly stopped, his brow furrowed in displeasure. "After following me for so long, don't you know the importance and urgency of things?"

The secret hidden in this secret room could almost cost Min Yoo-an his life!

"Your Highness, it's not that I don't know the importance and urgency of the matter, but since it involves the Princess Consort, you seem to be acting very differently. I have no idea what Your Highness is thinking!"

"Never mind!" Indeed, things involving Xia Tongsheng always make me feel a bit unusual these days!

Min Youan turned and walked toward the dungeon where Gao Liang was being held.

At this point, Gao Liang no longer had the innocent feeling she had when she first met her in the palace; she was more like a ferocious little leopard.

Min Youan's expression hardened. "You still ended up taking the path I least wanted you to take!"

"Is that so?" Gao Liang sneered, her eyes cold and clear, seemingly disheartened. "Which path does Your Highness least want me to take?"

"I have said it before, your father's death has nothing to do with me, nor with the deceased eldest prince!"

"It has nothing to do with you, nothing to do with the Crown Prince. Could it be that my father committed suicide?" What Gao Liang least wanted to believe was what they said: that her father had died for his country!

What kind of nonsense is this: Her father died tragically while suppressing the reactionary eldest prince!

Only she knew just how much her father admired the eldest prince!

Even if the eldest prince rebelled, her father would never personally kill him!

But her father ended up with the title of meritorious servant who eliminated the traitor. Gao Liang was unwilling to accept this, unwilling to accept that the truth behind the lie was hidden!

She raised her head, her gaze sharp, "In my opinion, it's probably Your Highness who was the one who truly wanted to rebel years ago!"

Gao Liang believes the only explanation for what happened back then is that the prince was the one who wanted to rebel, but his father or the eldest prince discovered his plan to rebel, so he killed the eldest prince and her father to silence them!

Then, in order to cover up the matter, they would claim that the two of them were plotting a rebellion. Anyway, there was no way to verify the truth, and no one would refute what the prince said.

It has to be said that this scheme was really vicious, so vicious that her father even became a hero, a hero in other people's eyes!

Isn't it good to be a hero?

It's good to be a hero, but he can't die!

Gao Liang never cared what kind of person her father was, as long as he was alive and well. But her father died inexplicably!

Upon hearing Gao Liang mention that he was the one who rebelled, Min Youan clenched his hands and asked, "What exactly did you find in my study?"

"What?" Gao Liang raised her hand. "Your Highness is really amazing. So many unseen hands are secretly controlling everything from the shadows. Doesn't that feel amazing?"

"You really saw it all!"

“Of course, I not only saw your wolfish ambitions, but I also saw your true feelings for the princess.” When Xia Tongsheng was mentioned, Gao Liang’s expression indeed flashed with a hint of terror, as if she was about to deal with Xia Tongsheng.

In his memory, she was still that little girl who would cry, so innocent and pure!

But all of this seemed to have changed so much because of my concealment.

He always thought that keeping quiet was the best outcome for everyone, but in the end he realized that keeping quiet only deepened other people's misunderstandings!
