The Cold King Demands Love and Pleasure

"Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, you should know best!" Min Youan still looked at him coldly.

The Ancient King squinted at him, reminding him, "But don't forget, it was your father, the Emperor, who personally issued the decree summoning me to the capital. Do you think your father will let me go?"

Min Youan raised his eyes, a hint of ruthlessness suddenly appearing in his dark eyes. "Since you can get Father to issue an edict summoning you to the capital, you must also have a way to get Father to allow you to leave the capital!"

"Don't bully others too much!"

What a ridiculous joke! How could a kidnapper tell the family of a kidnapped victim that things have gone too far?

It's obvious that this kidnapper is unprofessional and has no professional ethics whatsoever!

"You kidnapped my queen, how come you're now accusing me of going too far?" His voice was icy.

Min Youan understood that the Taigu King wouldn't make a decision so quickly about returning to Qianji. "I can give you half a day to consider it. Once you've thought it through, tell me whether you want to go back or perish together!"

For half a day, Min Youan could still tolerate losing Xia Tongsheng; but if it went on for too long, he didn't know what he would become!

"I have other matters to attend to, so I won't accompany you on your tour of the palace! Remember, I'm only giving you half a day; I'll come to see you tonight!"

After saying that, Min Yoo-an left.

Taigu Wang originally thought that he had the upper hand in the negotiations because he had kidnapped Xia Tongsheng, but he did not expect that Min Youan would not leave him any room for maneuver!

When negotiating, the worst thing is a madman!

Because they never think like normal people, it seems they've run into a minefield this time!

He went back to discuss with the Empress what to do.

The King of Taigu went directly to the dilapidated courtyard where Xia Tongsheng was being held to wait for the Empress. When he saw Xia Tongsheng sleeping peacefully alone in her room, he was furious!

Her husband had exhausted himself, both physically and mentally, but the person in question was still fast asleep!

He kicked Xia Tongsheng!

Xia Tongsheng had just found a suitable place to sleep, and because she was tied up with ropes and couldn't move easily, she finally managed to lie down and sleep after a lot of hardship. But she was woken up after only a short while, so of course she was unhappy!

In a daze, he cursed "Damn!" and kicked it!

This enraged the Ancient King. This little girl dared to kick him! No one in the world had ever dared to lay a hand on him!

"You're asking for it!" He raised his hand to hit Xia Tongsheng, but Xia Tongsheng had now regained her senses and knew who she had just hit. She shrank back in fear!

A woman's voice came from outside, "Your Highness, is it really necessary to get angry with a woman?"

The Empress entered the room, grasped the Prince's fist, and then let go. "Don't forget, we're supposed to use her to make a deal with the Prince. What if she gets hurt and the Prince changes his mind?"

"Hmph!" The Ancient King flicked his sleeve and turned his back!

The Queen led the Prince Taigu outside the courtyard. "What did he say?"

"He said he could hand over the evidence, but only if Xia Tongsheng was released and I left the capital!"

The Empress rose, her expression cold. "What if I don't agree?"

“If we don’t agree to release them or hurt Xia Tongsheng, he said he would make sure everyone knows about what happened between us!”

"Then you should leave the capital!" The Empress gave her opinion without much consideration.

The Ancient King was deeply hurt. "Are you in such a hurry for me to leave?"

The Empress did not answer his question. Thinking about how long the King of Taigu had been in the capital, he had not only not done anything substantial, but had also exposed all the things that had happened between the two of them in the past!

All she wants is someone who can help her, not someone who constantly holds her back...

"Your Highness, for my sake and for the sake of our son, I urge you to leave first!" she said, feigning sorrow.

The Ancient King probed again, "Judging from the current situation, is it inevitable that I must leave?"

"We must go!" The Empress finally made the decision!

"But even if I leave the capital and retrieve the letter, do you really believe he won't reveal what happened between us?"

Min Youan has a mouth, and if he wants to say it, no one can stop him!

Moreover, if Min Youan were to say it, it would arouse suspicion from others. As the saying goes, "three men can make a tiger," and by then, even if others don't believe it, they will believe it!

"Then what do you think we should do?"

The Ancient King immediately made a throat-slitting gesture, "Shall we just kill him?"

Only the dead can't speak. Otherwise, we could just kill Min Youan and that would be the end of it all. That way, no one would know about this, the King of Taigu could stay in the capital, and the Queen would no longer have to worry about her identity being exposed!

Kill Min Yoo-an? All these years, hasn't the Empress wanted to kill Min Yoo-an? It's just that assassinating Min Yoo-an is far too difficult; the Empress has repeatedly plotted but failed, and finally had to abandon the idea!

"Don't panic, Min Youan won't tell anyone about what's between us!"

"Why wouldn't you tell anyone? You believed him just because he said so?" The Ancient King wanted to mock the Queen for being so naive!

It wasn't that the Empress was naive, but rather that she had already prepared a backup plan. "Don't be impulsive. What if we fail to kill Min You'an and he uses us as a scapegoat? Besides, even if we do kill Min You'an, how do you know he hasn't told anyone else? In the end, this matter will still be exposed!"

The King of Taigu shouted loudly, and Xia Tongsheng, who was in the room, heard Min Youan's name. She shifted her body and tried to crane her neck to hear what the Empress and the King of Taigu were whispering about!

However, she didn't expect that her room was so far from the Ancient King's, so Xia Tongsheng couldn't hear what the two of them were whispering about in the courtyard at all!

However, since Min Yoo-an was mentioned, it must be related to her!

Does Your Highness really intend to hand over the evidence you've gathered regarding the Empress's affair with the Prince of Taigu?

The two people in the courtyard continued to discuss the follow-up issues. "I'm worried now. What if we release Xia Tongsheng, and Min You'an still tells everyone about this?"

The Empress took out a forged letter from her bosom. "I have already thought it through. Min Youan has no evidence, so I'm afraid he won't dare to frame us. Besides, I will have him write a letter based on this!"

When King Taegu opened the letter, he found that the entire contents were fabricated; it was false evidence that Min Yoo-an was trying to frame King Taegu and Queen Hae-hye!
