The Cold King Demands Love and Pleasure

"More than twenty years ago?" Min Youan was surprised to learn that the Empress and the Prince of Taigu had already been involved more than twenty years ago.

Min Youan was initially a little skeptical, but then he remembered that when Xia Tongsheng accompanied him to Baiyue to fight the plague, the Ancient King had deliberately kidnapped Xia Tongsheng!

At that time, he also asked King Taigu why he was helping the crown prince and what he really wanted.

The ancient king's reply at the time was, "What I want, you cannot give me!"

Now Min Yoo-an finally understands why he couldn't give it to her!

Because the crown prince is his own son!

Looking back now, it must have been to help the Crown Prince!

Min Youan asked Xia Tongsheng, "Do you have any evidence?"

Speaking of this, Xia Tongsheng felt a little ashamed. "There is no substantial evidence, but do you remember that day of the Mid-Autumn Festival? After Yi Yi fell asleep, I went to look for the shoes and happened to overhear the conversation between the King of Taigu and the Queen. That's how I learned about their relationship. Later, I went to investigate and proved that it was true!"

Min Youan sneered, "So, the Crown Prince isn't Father Emperor's child after all. What a pity, what a pity! It's laughable that he's become the Crown Prince!"

"Your Highness, you must calm down, calm down. Even if we know about this matter, we should consider it carefully! After all, we don't have any substantial evidence to accuse them!"

This is no small matter. If handled well, it could bring down both the Empress and the Crown Prince. But if handled poorly and offends the Emperor, it could end in a situation where they both perish!

Xia Tongsheng and his team are holding a winning hand, and they can't afford to squander it. Otherwise, they would be wasting all the truth they've painstakingly uncovered.

"Don't worry, although I want to kill the Empress and the Crown Prince, now is not the time. I want to have some fun with them!"

Since he has leverage over them, it would be wrong of him not to take the opportunity to extort money from them!

"Ah Sheng, you did so well this time!" Min Youan cupped her head and kissed her!

Xia Tongsheng shrank back slightly, looking at Min Youan's excitement, she asked, "Your Highness, that was your father being cuckolded, aren't you angry at all?"

"Angry?" he said casually. "My father has so many concubines who have been cheated on countless times. Am I supposed to be angry about all of this?"

What on earth is Xia Tongsheng thinking about every day? He doesn't have time to care about the situation in the emperor's harem. All he needs to care about now is whether the people around him have cheated on him!

"Your Highness, what should we do next?"

"What happens next? Leave the rest to me!"

Min Youan did not lose his composure, but instead planned to send people to closely monitor the Empress and the King of Taigu's every move!

Judging from the Crown Prince's previous behavior, he probably doesn't even know who his biological father is. Originally, Min Youan didn't understand why the Empress had never liked the Crown Prince, but now she does!

Because the crown prince's title is not legitimate...

It's just a raccoon dog, how dare it dream of becoming a dragon?

However, Min Youan was too careless in this matter. He always thought that the Empress was not as bold as he imagined, but he still underestimated the Empress's ruthlessness!

He was lost in thought for a moment. Although Min You'an was with Xia Tongsheng, Xia Tongsheng knew from his frequent absent-mindedness that his heart was no longer with her. "Your Highness, if you have something to do, you can go ahead and do it. I can be by myself!"

"We'll deal with this later; I'll keep you company for now!"

“You’re here in body, but your heart isn’t. There’s no use keeping you here. I think you should go and get busy!” Afraid that Min You’an would feel embarrassed to leave, Xia Tongsheng deliberately yawned, giving him a way out. “I’m tired too. I’m going to take a nap!”

"Alright!" Min You'an nodded and hurriedly went to the study to summon Cang Jue. "Send someone to keep an eye on the Empress and the Prince of Taigu!"

Cang Jue was slightly taken aback. "What's wrong? Have the Ancient King and the Queen formed an alliance?"

Min Youan sneered, "It's not just an alliance, it's a merger!"

"Ok?"

Cang Jue felt he was increasingly unable to understand what the prince meant by "combination."

He suddenly realized, "Your Highness means that the two of them are a couple?" Cang Jue seemed to have discovered some earth-shattering secret, and could hardly believe what he was hearing!

"That's right, otherwise how do you think this thousand-year-old fox could have easily come out of its den?" The capital is a dangerous place, and it is the emperor's territory. Although the foundation of the Ancient King is solid, the capital is still the emperor's domain!

If he dares to come to the capital, it must be because he has a compelling reason to do so!

"The Empress is truly shrewd. To find a powerful backer for her son, she's even willing to betray herself. What a pity, what a pity, her son is a hopeless case!"

"You're wrong. She didn't sell herself for her son. King Taigu wanted to help the Empress on his own initiative. Because King Taigu is the Crown Prince's biological father!"

"Your Highness, how did you know?" Usually, the prince receives information from me, but I didn't expect that this time the prince would be faster than me!

"The princess overheard it!"

Cang Jue couldn't help but shudder; what he had heard today was truly unbelievable.

I never expected the princess to be so good at eavesdropping!

He exclaimed, "The princess is truly amazing!"

"Although Ah Sheng overheard the truth, he didn't have any substantial evidence..."

"Understood, Your Majesty. I will investigate this matter thoroughly and guarantee to obtain evidence of the Empress's adultery with the Prince of Taigu and the Crown Prince's true identity!"

When Cang Jue heard Min You'an say this, he understood Min You'an's intention in having him monitor the Taigu King and the Queen. The Queen Consort had overheard the truth and investigated it.

However, there is no evidence to prove the relationship between the Crown Prince, the King of Taigu, and the Empress. After all, the Princess Consort is the Prince's person. If she is accused without evidence, it is easy for others to mistakenly believe that the Princess Consort is trying to help the Prince ascend to the throne, so she is framing the Crown Prince's true identity. In that case, it would be bad if she tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead!

"Okay, go down!"

Unexpectedly, even the Crown Prince could be someone else's son. For a moment, Min Youan also began to doubt whether he was the Emperor's biological son. However, seeing his mother's affection for him, his identity was self-evident!

He leaned against his desk, pondering how to handle the situation—whether to use it to threaten the Ancient King, or what else should he do?
