The Cold King Demands Love and Pleasure

Upon seeing Yingling, he asked Xia Tongsheng, "Mother, is she the Aunt Yingling you've been mentioning to me in Nanye?"

"Yes!"

Yi Yi saw the doll in Yingling's hand.

"Aunt Yingling, is this my younger brother?"

"Yes, little princess, take a look!"

Three people surrounded the child as Mo Chen quietly entered the room.

Xia Tongsheng stood opposite and saw Mo Chen come in. She smiled and took the child from Yingling's arms and carried it into the house.

Yingling frowned. "Why are you running so fast? Why didn't you wait for me?"

Xia Tongsheng turned her head and reminded her, "Look behind you!"

Yingling turned her head and saw Mo Chen.

She quickly turned around, not daring to look at Mo Chen again.

My heart was inexplicably pounding.

"Are you stunned? Hurry up and arrange for Mo Chen and the others to stay."

Min Youan could tell from Xia Tongsheng's expression that something was going on between the two of them, so how could he possibly give them a chance?

"Yingling, you take care of Asheng. Cangyi, go and arrange accommodation."

Yi Yi knew that when Min You'an first arrived in the capital, he knew Mo Chen's identity and wanted to take revenge on Mo Chen.

So he exposed her, "Father, you are taking revenge on Uncle Mo Chen for helping Mother escape back then, so you are deliberately preventing Aunt Yingling from getting close to Uncle Mo Chen."

"Little girl, you think you're so smart, huh?"

Xia Tongsheng glared at Min Youan, "What, are you so petty? It's not easy for them to meet, what's wrong with spending a little more time together?"

Yingling shyly stopped Xia Tongsheng, "Miss!"

"If it weren't for her, would I have had to separate from you for three years?"

Xia Tongsheng retorted to Min Youan, "You know what it's like to be separated for three years, so why don't you hurry up and let the two of them have a proper talk?"

Judging from Xia Tongsheng's posture, it seemed as if if she didn't agree, he would be left alone in an empty room.

Finally compromised.

"Alright, Yingling, go ahead! Remember to come back quickly!"

Xia Tongsheng: "......"

As expected, Min You'an holds a grudge. He only took her away back then, but I didn't expect him to exploit Mo Chen and Ying Ling's time.

Yingling led Mo Chen and his group to stay in a small courtyard east of Qianqing Palace.

However, no one dared to leak this information, for fear that the Empress Dowager would find out. Otherwise, no one in Beimin would be willing to have Nanye's guards living in the heart of Beimin.

Assassinating the emperor? Isn't that a matter of minutes?

Yingling arranged the room and watched as the guards busied themselves tidying it up.

Mo Chen didn't move; he just stood behind Ying Ling.

Yingling felt Mo Chen watching her from behind and felt extremely embarrassed.

She looked down at Mo Chen without glancing at him, and walked past him to leave.

But Mo Chen grabbed her hand, saying, "Shouldn't we greet each other when we meet old friends?"

Yingling was both angry and panicked. "Let me go!"

"Don't let it go!"

"If you keep doing this, I'm going to call for help!"

“These are all my men, they won’t come over.”

Mo Chen has indeed grown up; he's finally figured out how to pursue girls.

"Mo Chen, this is the imperial palace!"

"It's been three years since we last met, haven't you missed me at all?"

Yingling nodded, "No!"

"lie!"

"I'm not lying!"

"If you're not lying, then why are you blushing!"

Yingling:......

"I was in a hurry to get back and report, that's why I blushed."

After struggling to break free from Mo Chen, Yingling hurriedly ran away.

She stood outside for a long time, waiting for the blush on her face to fade before daring to return to her room.

"Miss, everything is arranged!"

Xia Tongsheng tried hard to observe Yingling's changing expressions.

"Okay, that's all. I'll give you a day off."

"No need, I don't need to rest!"

"You don't need to rest, but Mo Chen will probably say I'm heartless. Go on, go on."

Min Youan looked at Yingling, "She's not allowed to rest today; she has to take care of you!"

“Min Youan, you’re going a bit too far. Yingling is my person, and it’s my freedom to do whatever she wants.”

"I don't know if it's your freedom, but Mo Chen just can't see her."

Xia Tongsheng gave up. Whatever, do whatever you want.

What a petty man!

Mo Chen returned to Xia Tongsheng after packing his things, "Madam, everything is ready."

Mo Chen didn't know how to address Xia Tongsheng, so he called her Madam.

"Yes, Mo Chen, your main task is to protect Yi Yi and Xiao Heng."

"Ok!"

Min Youan snorted coldly, "I will protect my child myself, no one else needs to worry about him."

"What are you thinking? I just want more protection and more safety. Since we've entrusted Bai Shiqiu with the entire first birthday banquet, she must have made arrangements and might do something underhanded."

Xia Tongsheng continued, "I must guard against it! And then I must gather evidence against Bai Shiqiu."

"Yes, I will definitely catch him."

Yi Yi hugged Xia Tongsheng, saying, "Yi Yi will also protect her younger brother."

"Yi-yi, you are a girl. Your younger brother will protect you when he grows up. You don't need to protect him."

"But shouldn't siblings support each other? Mother, Yi-yi has grown up and can definitely protect herself."

"Did Nan Leci let you practice swordsmanship?"

Nodding slightly.

Xia Tongsheng put her hands on her hips and said, "That bastard Nan Leci, didn't I tell you not to practice swordsmanship?"

Mo Chen sighed, "Your daughter is involved with poisons, and now everyone in the palace is afraid of her. What do you think we should do?"

Min Youan, quite proud, put his arm around Yi Yi and said, "It doesn't matter what, as long as my daughter won't be bullied in the future!"

Min Youan and Xia Tongsheng held different attitudes toward Yi Yi's education.

He felt that women were just as capable as men, and that Yi Yi, now skilled in both literature and martial arts, was definitely an outstanding woman.

Xia Tongsheng was afraid that Yi Yi was too outstanding and would suffer, and she was afraid that Yi Yi would mature too early if she suffered.

However, what you fear most is what will happen.

Yi Yi quickly lost her childlike innocence.

"Mother, since you are worried about your younger brother, why did you still entrust the full moon celebration to Bai Shiqiu?"

“This,” Xia Tongsheng glanced at Min Youan, thinking to herself, “It’s all because of that bastard of a father. If he hadn’t done nothing, things wouldn’t have turned out like this.”

However, in front of his daughter, he must present Min Yoo-an as a tall and mighty father figure.

"We just want Bai Shiqiu to give herself away so we can catch her."

"Father is the emperor, the highest-ranking official. Isn't it an easy thing for him to take someone's life?"

Xia Tongsheng stroked Yi Yi's head and said, "The emperor is not supreme. He has the people above him, so he has to consider the reactions of the people before he does anything. If he kills someone without distinguishing right from wrong, what is the difference between such an emperor and one who indiscriminately kills innocent people? Don't you think so?"

Yi Yi nodded, seemingly understanding, "It seems so!"

"Yi Yi is right. You are now the goddess of Nanye. Although you don't have real power, your words can affect the entire country. So you must make sure that what you do does does not affect the country."
