The Cold King Demands Love and Pleasure

"I'll go investigate immediately!" With that, Cang Jue went out and led his men to track down Xia Tongsheng's whereabouts.

Min Youan turned around and looked at Min Shili, who was sleeping soundly on the bed. He frowned slightly. So she had been drugged. No wonder she didn't wake up when she was lying on another man's shoulder!

He picked up Min Shili and went outside. He saw Yingling waiting at the door; she must have heard the noise and rushed over. He handed Min Shili to her and asked, "Has anyone been here just now?"

Yingling, holding Min Shili, shook her head. "No. Where is Miss?"

"She's been kidnapped!"

"Kidnapped!" Yingling exclaimed in alarm, her brows furrowing in distress.

"Take good care of her!" With that, Min Youan left!

Even though Yingling was extremely worried, she didn't dare to ask any questions as she looked at Min Youan's resolute back. In the end, she could only silently pray in her heart that her young mistress would return safely.

The man in black led Xia Tongsheng at breakneck speed to the Taigu King's villa in Baiyue. "Your Highness, I have brought the person!"

Looking at the woman before him, the Ancient King had long since passed the age of thinking with his lower body, so he no longer had much interest in Xia Tongsheng's youthful body or face.

However, based on his years of experience with countless women, this woman in front of him was not particularly beautiful, nor did she have a good figure. He wondered what the Crown Prince saw in her!

"Lock her up. Remember, don't kill her!"

"Yes!" Ge Jin picked her up and turned to leave.

"Stop!" The Ancient King noticed the dark purple spots behind him, walked up behind him, touched his back with his hand, and brought his fingertips to his nose to smell them.

Ge Jin turned to look behind him. "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

The Ancient King was instantly enraged, "You idiot, someone has planted you with sedatives!"

"Scented millet? Isn't it said that only people in Miao areas use scented millet?"

Ge Jin then remembered that during the fight, he had probably been ambushed by Min You'an. This man was truly cunning and unpredictable. Since he had planted the seed of virginity in him, why did he pretend to negotiate with him?

Little did he know that Min Youan had actually intended to save Xia Tongsheng from the very beginning.

In fact, from the moment the man in black entered the prefectural capital, his every move had been under Min You'an's surveillance. The reason he didn't make a move at first was because he identified the man in black as Ge Jin based on his build.

So he decided to follow the clues and find out the purpose of the Ancient King. However, he never expected that the Ancient King's target was Xia Tongsheng!

He didn't want Xia Tongsheng to get hurt, but when he went to save her, it was too late; Xia Tongsheng had already fallen into Ge Jin's hands.

So, during the fight, he planted Xun Su on him, just in case. Min Youan is never one to be arrogant!

"Your subordinate will escort her out of the villa immediately!"

The Ancient King snorted coldly, "It's too late. I'm sure Min You'an's men have already taken over the entire villa."

Sure enough, no sooner had he finished speaking than a guard announced that Min Yoo-an was requesting an audience outside the door.

King Taigu frowned. "After you hand her over to the maid, go and change your clothes quickly."

Just as Ge Jingang led Xia Tongsheng away from the front hall, Min Youan barged in.

When the Prince of Taigu saw him, he smiled and said, "What brings you here so late, Prince An?"

"Late? King Taigu is still awake!" Min Youan sneered!

The Ancient King slumped into his armchair, asking, "What is it, Your Highness?"

"Where is Xia Tongsheng?!"

The Prince of Taigu seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. "Is Prince An drunk? Why is your princess coming to me asking for someone?"

Min Youan stated bluntly, "I've never been drunk in my entire life, what do you want?"

The Ancient King looked at Min You'an with a hint of disdain, "What I want is not with you!"

Min Youan quickly grasped the information, but what did what he wanted have to do with Xia Tongsheng?

Just as they were at an impasse, Min Youan heard the cawing of crows, smiled, and left the Taigu Prince's residence. The Taigu Prince was wondering why Min Youan had left so easily when he saw Ge Jincai running from the backyard, clutching his shoulder. "Your Highness, Xia Tongsheng has been kidnapped by Prince An's men!"

King Taigu slammed his hand on the table, and the entire piece of pear wood with its grain cracked in two. "So it was a case of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. I will not let this go so easily. Just you wait and see!"

When Xia Tongsheng woke up, she was leaning on a man's shoulder.

The scent was familiar to her; it was the smell of ink. Xia Tongsheng was curious about what was going on. Could it be that Min Youan had a habit of sleepwalking at night and had accidentally "carried" her out?

She tentatively called out "Your Highness" in a low voice.

The man beneath her gave a soft "hmm," indicating he wasn't sleepwalking.

"Hey, why did Your Highness bring me out so late at night?"

Min Youan looked up at the bright, white moon in the sky, "I'm bringing you out to bask in the moonlight!"

"......"

Sunbathing under the moon? How could you even think of that!

"Put me down, I can walk by myself!"

Min Youan stopped and asked, "Walk by yourself? Are you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure!" Xia Tongsheng thought to herself, "I'm such a grown-up, how could I not know how to walk? How ridiculous."

But as soon as she was put down, she discovered something ridiculous: damn it, she really couldn't walk anymore! She almost fell down as soon as she was put down, but luckily Min Youan caught her.

"Your Highness, what exactly did you do to my legs?"

He ignored her, picked her up, and this way Xia Tongsheng could see the strong lines of his jawline. "What's wrong with me?!"

"say!"

"Am I disabled?!"

"I'm still so young, what am I going to do for the rest of my life!"

"..."

Min Youan was somewhat displeased. "Shut up, I don't want to kiss you!"

Xia Tongsheng glared at her, recalling the scene of being forcibly kissed in the carriage. "Are you kidding me? It's not like I want you to kiss me!"

Finally, she stopped chattering and obediently let him carry her back to the prefectural capital. He didn't put her in her original room, but instead put her in his own room.

"Hey, Your Highness, this isn't my room!"

Is there a problem with me sleeping with my queen?

Hearing this, it seems like there's no problem, but I can't move now. What if this kid has some lustful thoughts and takes advantage of me?

"Your Highness, I'm not used to it!"

Min Youan glared at her, as if it were a habit of his. He wouldn't have done this if he wasn't afraid of something else happening to her.

Just thinking back on what had happened to Xia Tongsheng these past few days, from being kidnapped tonight by the unfamiliar Taigu King to the last Mid-Autumn Festival when she was inexplicably taken to Fengqi Palace by Min Zhifu.

It seems that this woman is coveted by too many people, but why? She is just General Xia's daughter. Is there something about her that I don't know?
