The Cold King Demands Love and Pleasure

Xia Tongsheng felt her feet suddenly leave the ground and screamed in fright, instinctively grabbing Min Youan's forehead and waist with both hands.

"Your Highness! Release me!" Xia Tongsheng shouted.

Min Youan ignored Xia Tongsheng's struggles and walked straight ahead.

"There's nothing between him and me!" she explained to him, partly out of fear that he would punish her, and partly out of fear that he might do something to Lin Jiuyang!

However, before Min You'an could speak, a shrill scream came from Lin Jiuyang's direction. Xia Tongsheng's eyes widened, and she asked Min You'an cautiously, "Your Highness, is Jiuyang alright?"

He shook his head and said in a deep voice, "It's nothing!"

In Min Youan's eyes, anyone who doesn't die is considered to be fine. Someone like Lin Jiuyang might just have a few scratches on his face and a couple of broken ribs!

Min Youan only put Xia Tongsheng down when he could no longer hear Lin Jiuyang's voice.

Whether it was because she struggled too hard or because the poison had intensified, Xia Tongsheng had only taken two steps when everything went black and she fell backward. Fortunately, Yingling behind her reacted quickly and caught her from behind, preventing her from falling to the ground.

Yingling quickly called out to her, hoping to rouse her from her daze, "Miss! Wake up!"

Min Youan immediately picked Xia Tongsheng up from Yingling's arms and took her to the nearest villa. He placed her on the bed, covered her with a blanket, and questioned Yingling, "What happened! How are you taking care of your young lady?"

"Your Highness, Miss's health has deteriorated these past few days. She was exposed to the cold wind outside just now, and she also stayed up late last night. She's been coughing non-stop this morning, and I never expected her to faint! It's all my fault. If I hadn't failed to take good care of Miss, she wouldn't be like this!"

The baby's constant crying annoyed him. "Stop crying, hurry and find a doctor!"

Min Youan's roar woke Xia Tongsheng up. "Yingling, don't go!"

Each time she faints and then wakes up, it only takes about ten minutes, just like an appliance restarting.

Upon seeing Xia Tongsheng wake up, Yingling immediately went to her bedside, "Miss, are you alright?"

Xia Tongsheng shook her head. "Did I scare you?"

Yingling nodded through her tears, "I will never let you go out again. I will take good care of you!"

Noticing Min Youan standing at the head of the bed, Xia Tongsheng forced a smile, "Your Highness, I'm fine!"

Seeing how hard she was working, Min Youan yelled at Yingling, "What are you standing there for? Get up and go!"

Seeing that Min You'an didn't take her words to heart, Xia Tongsheng gripped his hand tightly. "Your Highness, don't let her go. I can't live without her!"

Although Min Youan was displeased, it was ultimately Xia Tongsheng's own business, so he couldn't say anything more. "Fine, you stay, I'll go!"

Xia Tongsheng stopped him, "Your Highness, don't bother finding a doctor for me, it's useless anyway!"

Seeing Xia Tongsheng's weak state, Min Youan couldn't help but feel heartbroken. For the first time, he felt powerless! He silently left the room.

Hearing Xia Tongsheng gently comforting Yingling, "Yingling, don't cry, I'm alright, aren't I?"

"Miss, didn't you tell me this poison wouldn't kill you? Why is your health getting worse?"

"Fool, all poisons will cause some harm to the body. Don't worry, I'll be fine!" Xia Tongsheng felt that although she couldn't be called a great philanthropist, she was at least a kind person, and God would definitely not let her die so easily.

Yingling wiped away her tears and said, "Miss, don't lie to me. Yingling is waiting for you to get better so you can make me something delicious!"

"Okay! I'll definitely cook you a big meal when I'm better! But I'm very tired now, let me sleep for a while!" Xia Tongsheng smiled weakly, then closed her eyes!

Seeing that she was asleep, Yingling came out of the room. Min Youan was standing outside the door. "Your Highness, aren't you going in?"

Min Youan shook his head. "Let her sleep!"

"Oh, right, have the steward fetch the imperial physician!"

Yingling reminded her, "Didn't Miss say..."

"The princess is willful, so are you going to be willful too?" His voice was already close to exploding with rage.

Startled, Yingling immediately knelt on the ground, "Yes, this servant will go find the steward right away!"

After saying that, Yingling ran over, afraid that Min Youan would get angry again.

Min Youan stood at the doorway, looking out. Through the doors and windows, he could clearly hear Xia Tongsheng's heavy, weak breathing.

Finally, he couldn't resist opening the door and going in. Looking at Xia Tongsheng sleeping, she was no longer as lively as usual, nor did she have the fangs she had when she was awake. She was so fragile, like a porcelain doll that was easily broken.

He remembered the first time they slept in the same bed. She was drunk then, kicking off the covers and turning over, making a huge fuss that kept him awake all night. But now, even if she wanted to turn over, she probably didn't have the strength.

This woman is truly unpredictable; one moment she's strong, the next she's fragile.

She was just an ordinary woman, yet she was kidnapped by the Crown Prince, abducted by the Ancient King, and now she has been poisoned by someone unknown. There are too many things about her that he cannot predict, making her mysterious yet deeply attractive to him.

He couldn't resist reaching out to touch her cheek. It was soft, cool, and felt wonderful. He asked, "Is this your true face?"

Xia Tongsheng was half asleep when she felt a pair of warm hands stroking her face. It felt just like when her mother used to stroke her when she was a child. She vaguely saw her mother's figure. After experiencing so much, seeing her mother again made all the grievances in her heart burst forth in an instant.

Tears streamed down her face, sliding down her cheeks and landing on Min Youan's index finger. He looked at the tear and asked, "You've been crying?"

Xia Tongsheng felt the hands disappear and immediately panicked, reaching out to grab them. "Don't go! Mother!"

Just then, when Yingling returned, she saw Xia Tongsheng holding Min Youan's hand. She immediately retreated from the room in embarrassment and waited outside.

Min Youan stood there straight, letting her hold his hand.

When the imperial physician arrived, Xia Tongsheng was still asleep, so Yingling led him to the front hall to rest.

Xia Tongsheng slept until evening, without even having lunch! Min Youan, with her hand being pulled along, naturally didn't have time to eat lunch either.

The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Min Youan's handsome face. He was staring at her blankly, and her hand was tightly gripping his. In that instant, she was startled and shook off his hand.

Realizing her rudeness, she smiled awkwardly, "Your Highness, I didn't mean to, it was just a slip of the hand! It was just a slip of the hand!"

Min Youan was displeased with her behavior, "Xia Tongsheng, don't think that just because you're sick I won't punish you!"
