The Cold King Demands Love and Pleasure

Xia Tongsheng quickly caught up with him, stopping him from going any further. "Your Highness, I'm speaking to you very seriously now, and I hope you'll look at me seriously too!"

Min Youan turned his head, sighed silently, and strode forward. "Whatever it is, we'll talk about it later!"

Xia Tongsheng chased after him all the way to the study. Seeing Min Youan begin to handle official business, Xia Tongsheng stepped forward, closed the memorial, cupped Min Youan's face, and forced him to look directly at her. "Your Highness, are you angry?"

"No!" I just guessed what you were going to say next, and I didn't want to hear your nonsense... It's that simple!

Xia Tongsheng nervously twisted her clothes. "Your Highness, I see you're quite busy. Without taking up too much of your time, how about we discuss something?"

Is she going to lay her cards on the table and start negotiating a deal so soon? It seems she's still too impatient!

"Say!"

"You went to Yanxiang last night, right?"

"Ok!"

"So you're also curious about Mo Chen's identity, right?"

"Hmm!" Min Youan seemed annoyed that she was wasting so much time. "Get to the point!"

Xia Tongsheng slapped her thigh, "That's exactly what I've been waiting for. I'll be frank, I hope Your Highness can turn a blind eye to Mo Chen's background, and leave it at that. Please don't investigate any further! Is that alright?"

Min Youan was originally curious about Mo Chen's background, wondering what kind of background he had that could get Xia Tongsheng to personally persuade him to give up investigating his identity.

However, the fact that Xia Tongsheng was able to come also confirms one thing: Xia Tongsheng at least knows Mo Chen's identity!

Even if you don't know everything clearly, you at least know the gist of it!

"Then tell me, why don't you want me to investigate this person's identity? Who exactly is he?"

Xia Tongsheng cursed Min Youan as an idiot in her heart, thinking, "I don't even want you to investigate Mo Chen's identity, I just don't want you to know his identity. Do you think I'd tell you myself?"

"Your Highness, just as you said yourself, it's always better to know than not to know some things!"

"But what if I'm curious?" Min Youan picked her up from the desk and placed her on his lap, looking closely into her eyes, hoping to discern some emotion from them!

But the once innocent little rabbit has now learned to hide her emotions. In such a close confrontation between the two, Xia Tongsheng did not lose in the slightest!

Xia Tongsheng gently pushed him, trying to get up; the distance was simply too great for her to think!

"Your Highness, aren't we standing a little too close right now? It's a bit... a little awkward!"

Min Youan deliberately tightened his arms, bringing Xia Tongsheng even closer to him. His breath landed precisely on her porcelain-white cheek. "What's wrong with that? We've been closer than ever before. Are you afraid of such a small distance?"

A closer, more intimate distance? Xia Tongsheng's thoughts wandered as she pondered this. Couldn't they at least refrain from making lewd remarks in public?

Stop the car! This isn't a bus heading to the kindergarten...

"Your Highness, I'm just worried that someone might see us like this when they pass by, it would be such a bad influence!" Xia Tongsheng kindly reminded him, "There are so many single men in your manor, you are a prince, you should consider their feelings more!"

“The deep affection between the Prince and Princess is a beautiful thing that anyone would see. How could anyone think it has a bad influence?” Min Youan raised his chin. “I’m afraid the one who says it has a bad influence is the Princess herself!”

"Your Highness, what are you saying? I love being close to you the most!"

"Oh? Is that so?" His tone was slightly teasing and playful. "The princess said she likes to be close to me the most, but I've never felt that you have a strong desire to be close to me."

"Damn it, if I don't have any needs, then what do we do every night?" She couldn't help but mutter a curse under her breath!

"Is Your Highness openly and brazenly inviting me to indulge in debauchery in broad daylight?"

Xia Tongsheng quickly shook her head, "Your Highness is such a high compliment, you can't just put it on me like that, or I'm afraid I won't be able to take it off later!"

This is a crime that will be remembered for eternity, and Xia Tongsheng really doesn't have the guts to bear it!

Think of those who previously bore this stigma: Bao Si, Su Daji, Yang Yuhuan...

Which of them had a good ending?

It is said that time can make people forget everything, but these people have not been able to get rid of this stigma of being a scourge to the country and the people even after thousands of years. Xia Tongsheng dares not bear this crime, and besides, she does not have the power to bear this crime!

Women like Daji and Yang Yuhuan at least had good looks, but what about my own appearance?

Barely satisfactory...

She's passable, but as for being a stunning beauty, you probably couldn't find one in Beimin even if you counted them all day long!

Someone like her, who has neither good looks nor substance, is being labeled a scourge to the country. Future generations will probably guess that she was able to keep men because of her good bedroom skills!

Xia Tongsheng was lost in thought for a while. When he came to his senses again, he found Min Youan looking at him with a seductive expression!

Damn, I've been led astray again...

We were supposed to be discussing Cang Jue, how did we end up talking about something so far off!

It's all the prince's fault for seducing her!

"Your Highness, just tell me plainly, can you just turn a blind eye to Mo Chen's matter and let it go like this?"

"Your Highness, the more you say that, the more it piques my curiosity. Tell me, who exactly is Mo Chen?"

Xia Tongsheng emphasized, "No matter who it is, all I know is that Mo Chen is genuinely good to me and truly helps me. I don't care about anything else!"

"Aren't you afraid that Mo Chen has ulterior motives for approaching you?" Min Youan probed, trying to find out how much Xia Tongsheng knew about Mo Chen's background!

Xia Tongsheng's attitude also hardened, "Your Highness, I'm only asking you whether you still want to investigate or not? That's all!"

Mo Chen lowered her eyes, as if pondering something. "Are you really sure he poses no threat to you?"

"Of course I'm sure!"

"Very well, since he's one of your people, Your Highness, if you say you won't investigate, then I won't!"

His gentle voice seemed to subtly instill extra trust in her, "Your Highness! You are so kind!"

Min Yoo-an smiled and said, "Okay?"

You'll soon find out if I'm truly cured...
