The Cold King Demands Love and Pleasure

Or should I tell him, "Your dad got cheated on?"

Although Min Youan didn't have much affection for this family, there were still quite a few people involved in this matter, and he couldn't just make things up before he even understood the truth.

This isn't like her at all! What if it was a trap set up by the King and Queen of Taigu?

He deliberately let himself hear this fabricated "truth"!

So let's wait until everything is confirmed before making any decisions.

"Your Highness, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now!" Xia Tongsheng didn't want to stay with Min You'an any longer; she knew Min You'an's tricks all too well.

She was terrified that if she wasn't careful, she would fall into Min Youan's trap and blurt out things she hadn't even figured out yet!

"Go!" Min Youan watched her somewhat flustered back, a hint of curiosity arising between his brows.

The next morning, Yingling disappeared without a trace; she was nowhere to be seen all morning.

"Miss, Miss!" It was almost noon when she ran back, pulling a cart full of books behind her.

Xia Tongsheng quickly waved her hand, "Why are there so many unofficial histories? Didn't a whole truckload arrive yesterday?"

"Miss, this isn't some unofficial history; it's a reading note from someone in Yan Lane!"

Xia Tongsheng's expression was exaggerated, "You mean, they read all the books from the five carriages yesterday?"

"Well, there are so many people in Yanxiang, each person can just get one or two books and finish reading them!"

Wow, there's strength in numbers!

Xia Tongsheng couldn't help but sigh!

"Miss, I specifically told them to pay attention to the glorious deeds of the Queen and the Ancient King and to write a review, so the majority of their reading notes should be about the Queen and the Ancient King!"

Xia Tongsheng nodded, "Well done!"

"By the way, have Shui Han send someone to Baiyue and Qianji to investigate whether there is any special relationship between the Ancient King and the Empress!" Although historical records are important, on-site investigation is even more important!

Although Xia Tongsheng had been urging Yingling to research the deeds of the Ancient King and Queen, Yingling genuinely didn't know why. "Miss, do you suspect the Ancient King and Queen...? They don't seem like they're..."

That age gap is too big!

Yingling didn't dare to voice her suspicions about the affair between the King and the Queen; she was just testing the waters!

"Not only that, but I personally heard the King Taigu say when I was in the palace during the Mid-Autumn Festival that the Crown Prince is the Empress's child!"

"My God!" This is the only thing Yingling can say about how chaotic the entertainment industry is!

"The sooner the better," Xia Tongsheng instructed her, "Go find Shui Han and explain the matter of going to Qianji to investigate. I'll continue reading unofficial histories and take a look at their reading notes!"

"Should I tell Shui Han about the Empress and the Ancient King?" Because the matter was too complicated, Yingling dared not make a decision on her own!

"Tell her, it'll make it easier for her to investigate!"

"Yes!"

In the past few days, Xia Tongsheng did see some news about the Empress and the Ancient King in unofficial histories, but unofficial histories can be used as a reference, but they should not be taken seriously!

In the end, the news brought back by Ji Shuihan confirmed that the Crown Prince and the Ancient King did indeed have a past...

Xia Tongsheng looked at the letter in her hand, took a breath, and tore the letter into pieces!

Knowing that Min Zhifu was not the emperor's biological son was good news for Xia Tongsheng!

She was somewhat smug, having caught Min Zhifu red-handed. This time, she was going to settle both old scores and new grudges.

When the time comes, she'll take this evidence and slap it on the Emperor. Not to mention the fake Crown Prince, even the real Empress probably won't be able to save her own life!

This matter put Xia Tongsheng in a difficult position. She asked Yingling for her opinion, "Do you think we should tell the Prince this secret?"

"Miss, what are you hesitating about?" Yingling couldn't stand it anymore. "The Prince hates the Empress and the Crown Prince so much. If you tell him about this, you'll be doing him a huge favor. What are you still thinking about?"

"I!" Xia Tongsheng said with some worry, but in fact she was afraid. "You don't know how much the Prince hates the Empress and the Crown Prince. I'm afraid that if I tell him, he might do something drastic!"

In response to Xia Tongsheng's concerns, Yingling held the opposite attitude: "Actually, I'm not worried about the Prince at all. You and I both know what kind of person the Prince is! Even if the Prince knew the truth of this matter, I don't think the Prince would go to great lengths to expose the truth!"

The prince's behavior doesn't seem like that of someone who would act so impulsively! It's the young lady who's less composed!

"Should I tell the Prince?" After thinking for a moment, she shook her head. "No, no, let me think about it a little longer!"

Xia Tongsheng still couldn't make up her mind! This is probably what severe decision-making anxiety looks like.

“Miss, look at your indecisiveness. You should think of it this way: if you tell the Prince about this, wouldn’t he be able to give you some advice? Wouldn’t that save you the trouble of racking your brains?”

Upon hearing this, Xia Tongsheng suddenly realized, "Yingling, what you said makes sense!"

Min Youan could hear Xia Tongsheng excitedly praising Yingling from afar, "What makes sense?"

Upon seeing the prince, Yingling quickly gestured to Xia Tongsheng with her eyes, encouraging her to tell Min Youan about this!

"Miss, Your Highness, please continue your conversation. This servant will go and take care of the young princess!"

Xia Tongsheng looked at Min Youan's face, but for a moment she didn't know how to speak.

After all, what she was about to say was that the most noble person in the world had been cheated on, so she didn't dare to say it so openly!

What's more, the person who was cheated on was her husband's father, making it even more difficult to talk about!

"Your Highness, do you think the Empress is loyal to the Emperor?"

"How would I know the answer to this question?" How could Min You'an know whether the Empress was sincere towards the Emperor?

Xia Tongsheng changed her approach and continued, "Do you think that with so many concubines in the palace who rarely see the Emperor, they might have affairs with other guards?"

"These kinds of things happen all the time, why are you suddenly asking about this?"

Seeing that Min Youan was quite accepting of this kind of thing, Xia Tongsheng decided to speak frankly, "Well, I recently discovered something by chance, that is, it seems that the Empress has cheated on your father, no, not just seems, the Empress has indeed cheated on your father!"

Min Youan frowned, his handsome face revealing no emotion. "The Empress? With whom?"

"Follow the Primordial King!"

The King of Taigu is so old, and although the Queen isn't young either, she should find a young and strong man, not an old man, right? Min Youan was somewhat skeptical of Xia Tongsheng's statement. "Are you sure?"

"Of course, I heard it with my own ears. The ancient king said that the crown prince is the empress's child with him. In other words, your father raised someone else's son for more than twenty years!"
