The Cold King Demands Love and Pleasure

Fortunately, Min Zhifu was taken away by Consort Jing and raised by her personally.

Xia Tongsheng nodded, eating sunflower seeds, "Let's talk about Gao Liang next."

Xia Tongsheng was very curious: Where had Gao Liang been all this time, and how did she end up like this?

"I couldn't find any information about Gao Liang!"

"Didn't find anything?" Xia Tongsheng had lost all interest in eating. She hadn't expected that Ji Shuihan could find out so much about things in the palace, but she couldn't find any information about Gao Liang at all.

Who exactly is Gao Liang?

Why did he suddenly disappear and then suddenly reappear? The key point is that no information can be found. Thinking of this, Xia Tongsheng felt worried. What if Gao Liang wanted to target the prince?

"Shui Han, how much else do you know?"

That's all!

Ji Shuihan told Xia Tongsheng everything she had found out.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. You can go back now, and I'll come find you later."

Ji Shuihan turned and went back to Yan Lane.

Xia Tongsheng clapped her hands to remove the sunflower seed crumbs!

"Yingling, I'm going to find the Prince. I'm leaving Yiyi in your care!"

"Miss, don't worry, Yi-yi is taking a nap right now and won't wake up for a while!"

Xia Tongsheng ran off to find Min Youan!

Although she knew there must be a secret between Min Youan and Gao Liang, Xia Tongsheng decided to be a gossip for the sake of her husband's safety.

"Your Highness, I have something to discuss with Ni!"

"you say!"

I know you're probably not feeling well right now, but I just want you to be safe!

Xia Tongsheng gave Min Youan a heads-up in advance!

"Go ahead."

"I want to know what exactly happened to Gao Liang?"

Upon hearing that Xia Tongsheng had come to ask about Gao Liang, Min Youan didn't tell the truth. "It's just like what you saw. Originally, we wanted Gao Liang to find a good family, but she came back after leaving!"

"But Your Highness, I had someone investigate Gao Liang, and there was no information about him. How do you explain that?"

Min Youan's expression was very serious, and Xia Tongsheng knew that she must have asked something she shouldn't have.

"Actually, Your Highness, I really don't want to pry into anything, but you know these are special times. If you can confirm Gao Liang's identity, then I don't care. But if you yourself are not sure about Gao Liang's identity, I hope you will carefully consider using Gao Liang!"

Xia Tongsheng felt that since Ji Shuihan couldn't find any information about Gao Liang, it was safe to say that this woman's identity was in great danger.

When Min Youan heard that he couldn't find any information about Gao Liang, it seemed that the security level of the special forces camp was quite high, as even Xia Tongsheng couldn't find any information about her.

"Don't worry, Gao Liang can be trusted. You've seen it yourself; Gao Liang is actually here to protect me." Although Min You'an didn't want Xia Tongsheng to know too much, he also didn't want her to be completely ignorant and more worried. "It was I who sent Gao Liang away back then, and it's the unofficial history that brought her back."

"Gao Liang has received special training, right?"

"Yes."

Xia Tongsheng nodded. "I understand."

Having roughly guessed what was going on, Xia Tongsheng stopped asking questions.

"By the way, your senior brother will be coming to the capital in a few days."

Min Youan informed Xia Tongsheng in advance that the news of Mu Zexi's trip to Beijing had to be kept secret.

"Did you come to the capital to treat the Emperor?"

“Hmm.” Min Youan continued, “Mu Zexi came to the capital secretly. If what Yuqian said is true, then Mu Zexi will leave after examining the Emperor’s pulse, so you may not be able to see him.”

"I understand."

Min You'an secretly brought Mu Zexi into the palace, just like Yu Qian'er disguised herself to enter the palace. Both were to avoid alerting the mastermind behind the scenes.

A week later, Mu Zexi was brought to the capital by Min You'an's secret guards and quietly sent directly to the palace to have the emperor take his pulse.

Mu Zexi's conclusion was similar to that of Yuqian'er: both were caused by unwarranted poisoning.

However, since Master Guigu had warned Mu Zexi not to stay in the palace for too long before he came, Mu Zexi left the palace and returned to Yunmeng Mountain after taking his pulse.

These days, after being treated by Yuqian'er, the emperor's health has improved a lot. He is no longer as listless as before, and no longer acts listlessly no matter what he does.

"My lady, do you think my health has improved considerably?"

"Your Majesty, you have recovered a lot, but you must still be careful and not get angry."

The emperor said somewhat impatiently, "I know, you've told me 'Don't be angry' more than a dozen times already. My ears are calloused from hearing it."

"You heard that? No, you must remember this: tell me yourself, how many times did you get angry today?"

The emperor mentally calculated, "About five times?"

"Wrong, it's ten times!"

The elm seed gave an accurate number, which greatly surprised the emperor.

"You don't need to be so surprised. I'm a doctor, so of course I have to observe your condition at all times. Your current state is not conducive to your recovery."

How could the emperor not know not to get angry? "But matters of the court are hard to keep one calm."

"Oh, I'll prepare more medicine for you."

The emperor also felt it wasn't worth it; just because he was angry, he had to drink so many extra medicinal herbs every day, which was really a waste.

"Miss, do you think it would be strange if I were to meet with An'er and the court in my current state?"

Yuqian frowned and finally spoke her mind, "Your Majesty, you've been refusing to see the Prince because of what the Imperial Observatory said, haven't you? If that's the case, why don't you just find another Imperial Observatory official to say that there's no incompatibility between you and the Prince? Why keep waiting until you're fully recovered?"

Previously, Yuqian didn't want to help the emperor, and besides, she was just a young girl, so even if she offered her opinion, the emperor probably wouldn't take it seriously.

After spending so many days together, Yuqian finally dared to speak her mind.

"I've thought about it, but Min Zhifu will definitely not let this opportunity pass. What I'm worried about is that if I meet An'er, Min Zhifu might use this opportunity to harm me or An'er. Then..."

Whether the emperor or Min Youan is injured, it will only fuel the rumors that the emperor and Prince An are incompatible.

"Your Majesty, I can take care of your safety, but I am unable to help the Prince."

The emperor smiled slightly, "I'm not worried about An'er."

The emperor knew what kind of person Min You'an was from the beginning, so he knew that Min You'an would not give Min Zhifu a chance.

In fact, the emperor was somewhat aware of the harm that the empress and her son had done to Min Yoo-an over the years, but he knew how to maintain a balance of power, so he never made it public.

Given that Min Youan had survived the combined machinations of the Empress and her son over the years, the Emperor was absolutely certain that Min Zhifu was no match for Min Youan.
