The Cold King Demands Love and Pleasure

It's normal to think about something this big, so Min You'an didn't force him to make a decision on the spot. "Cang Jue, get the silver notes!"

Cang Jue took out two silver notes worth ten thousand taels of silver from his pocket and handed them to Cao Tian, ​​saying, "This is for the Princess's medical expenses!"

"We don't need that much!"

Min Youan raised an eyebrow slightly. "That's fine! To me, her life is far more valuable than this silver!"

Cao Tianxiang had been worried about the matter of surrendering to Beimin, but upon hearing this, he suddenly felt relieved. He knew Xia Tongsheng's identity and naturally knew the insurmountable gap between the two of them.

He originally wanted to tell Min Youan about Xia Tongsheng's true identity on the spot to annoy Min Youan, but then he thought, wouldn't it be more fun to tell him after their relationship has deepened?

Thinking about his reaction after learning Xia Tongsheng's true identity, he felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction! So he swallowed back the words he was about to say!

After leaving the Prince's mansion, Cao Tian did not go directly back to the clinic, but instead went to a wonton shop on the street. Before going to the Prince's mansion, Cao Tian had made thorough preparations.

Fearing that Min You'an might follow the clues to find Yu Qian'er, he arranged for Yu Qian'er to wait for him at the wonton shop at the street corner. If he hadn't arrived by dark, Yu Qian'er was to return to Miao territory on her own.

So when Yuqian saw Cao Tian, ​​she finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Master, you're back! Did you succeed?"

Cao Tian shook his head. "No! He discovered us a long time ago!"

Although it didn't work, at least Cao Tian returned safely. Yu Qian'er took out a key from her bosom. "Here's your key back!"

Cao Tian shook his head, refusing to accept it, "Child, you're 15 this year, it's time to hand over the position of Miao chieftain to you!"

"grandfather!"

He stroked her head and said, "Yuqian, you're a girl, you shouldn't have to work so hard. Grandpa made you shoulder this responsibility that wasn't originally yours. You won't blame me, will you?"

Elm Seed held back her tears, "No!"

"Good boy!" Miao Renzhi patted her shoulder. "You truly are my grandson!"

Since ancient times, the Miao people have passed down their chieftainship to males only. The Miao region is divided into two sects: the "Life Sect" and the "Death Sect." The Life Sect is responsible for making antidotes and detoxifications, while the Death Sect is responsible for making poisons and administering them.

The two sects have been fighting each other openly and secretly for years. However, perhaps because the person who detoxifies is more praised by society, the Life Sect always has the upper hand over the Death Sect, and the position of Miao chieftain has always been inherited by a member of the Life Sect!

However, by the time it came to Yuqian'er's generation, her parents had died early, leaving only Yuqian'er as the sole heir. Therefore, in order to maintain his position as the head of the Shengmen family, Miao Renzhi had always claimed that Yuqian'er was a boy. Fifteen years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Elm Seed carried this responsibility that was not originally hers for 15 years. In those 15 years, she almost forgot that she was a girl.

"Elm Seed, the Prince intends for our Miao region to submit to the Northern Min. What do you think?"

"What do you think?" Yuqian'er didn't rush to express her opinion, but instead asked for his opinion first.

"I don't want to!" Miao Renzhi had worked with Nanye for so many years and had feelings for Nanye.

"On the contrary, I'd be willing! It's already been a long time since Miao Jiang has managed to hold on this long. Our tribe is too far from Nan Ye. Bei Min is a good place for us!"

Miao Renzhi was worried about the opposition from his own clansmen. "But they killed so many of our clansmen. If we submit to Bei Min, how will we explain it when we go back? Besides, the power of the Death Gate has been growing stronger over the years. I'm afraid they..."

Yuqian interrupted him, "To reduce the number of deaths, we have no other choice. I believe that if we refuse to submit, the next target of the Northern Min will be the Miao region! And with our strength, we absolutely cannot resist."

At this moment, the thin and small elm seed is just like an adult, sharp and decisive, with an aura that is simply two meters and eighty centimeters tall!

"What about the poison arrays and poisonous objects we set up around the Miao people?"

Although Yuqian'er couldn't bear to discourage him, she still had to tell him the truth. "Master, stop deceiving yourself. You know that those poisons won't last long. Beimin has been coveting the medicinal herbs of Miaojiang for a long time. Every year they hire doctors to break the poison array of Miaojiang. Moreover, judging from the traces they left at the scene, Beimin seems to have mastered the key to breaking the array."

Miao Renzhi sighed, "So, does that mean we have no choice but to submit?"

She nodded! Her eyes were both sorrowful and resolute!

"Very well, Yuqian, this Miao region is yours, and you make the decision now!"

"grandfather!"

Miao Renzhi glared at her, "Call me Master!"

Now that she had made her decision, Yuqian'er's inner struggle and heaviness disappeared! She started complaining, "Master, Grandpa, aren't we all calling you the same thing? Is there a difference? Why are you so fussy? Also, my name is clearly Miao Yu, why do you have to add 'qian' to it? How vulgar!"

"Elm seeds are so easy to pronounce, and besides, there's a huge difference between Grandpa and Master, a whole generation apart. You calling me Grandpa makes me sound old. Do you know how precious this face of mine is? Back in the day, I charmed countless young girls with this face!"

Even the most precious things will get wrinkles!

"You little brat!" Miao Renzhi pretended to be angry.

Elm Seed laughed, amused. "Alright, let's go back!"

Inside the Prince's residence, Xia Tongsheng was having dinner when she saw Min Youan arrive. She immediately got up.

"Are you eating?" Min Youan asked.

"Would you like to join us, Your Highness?" Xia Tongsheng asked politely.

He said coldly, "No need!"

Xia Tongsheng silently breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, Min Youan refused. Otherwise, she would have had to suffer the consequences of having dinner with him.

For a long while, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward. She casually asked, "Where is Doctor Cao?"

"gone!"

Xia Tongsheng took out the silver notes she had prepared earlier from her bosom. "Here are five thousand taels. I don't want to owe you any favors!"

Seeing how readily she handed over the money, Min Youan looked up and asked, "You have a lot of dowry?"

Xia Tongsheng immediately looked at him warily, "Don't you dare try to take my dowry, it's meant for my daughter!"

Hearing her say that, Min Youan shook his head with amusement, "First of all, you need to have a daughter!"

Xia Tongsheng nodded in agreement, "There will be bread, and there will be milk!"

"What?! You're planning to name your future child Bread and Milk? What kind of names are those? They're so awful!" Min Youan's face was filled with undisguised disgust.

"Uh, that's something a famous person said!"

"Who?"

Are you suggesting Xia Tongsheng say it was Lenin? He'd probably ask again, "Who is Lenin? Who is Russia?"

Considering the series of questions that followed, she decided not to continue explaining and cleverly replied, "Your Majesty, I forgot!"
