Forced to Marry the Enemy Prince - Forced to Marry the Enemy Prince - Chapter 4

Chapter 4

[ Oh la laaa,, this is a long chapter :DD ]

It was unclear if Zhan Lue purposely wanted to humiliate them, but to Xian Sheng, it wasn’t that hard to accept. He knew his true gender, so he found it faintly funny that Zhan Lue was saying this.

Zhan Lue tied his two hands together with rope, and then brought him directly back to camp. The worn-down horse carriage looked pretty good, but it was a bumpy ride. When the horse carriage stopped, Xian Sheng was already dizzy from the jolting. Yet, he couldn’t speak his mind as he curled up, staying unmoved.

Zhan Lue said, “I didn’t think this princess is that delicate.”

Xian Sheng wanted to move, but everything appeared dark in front of his eyes. He felt strengthless.

When he was born, his master was certain that he’ll die young, saying that he had a lot of negative energy. In simple words, he was born a boy, but had the life of a girl. He was delicate and must be raised as a girl in order to live. Coincidentally, the Liang Royal Family had no princesses, and he was born with an exquisite and delicate appearance. Therefore, they raised him as a princess. Originally, Xian Sheng didn’t believe his master’s words either, wanting to be a prince. He wore men’s clothes and that night, he tripped and slipped into water, almost dying.

After that, he tried wearing men’s clothes a couple of times, but he almost died each time. After these tries, the original weak prince ended up contracting several illnesses. He became weaker and weaker, and Xian Sheng finally believed in this curse. He obediently became a “princess.”

These days, he had been commanding by standing on the city tower and was thinking that maybe the curse was lifted. Who knew that after being triggered, not only did he land in the enemy prince’s hand, but he almost had run out of breath due to the jolting of the horse carriage.

He had a weak pulse and Zhan Lue finally came over to observe this. He knitted his eyebrows and carried Xian Sheng.

Xian Sheng was placed in bed and he half closed his eyes. After a while, he finally opened his eyes.

Zhan Zhen was sitting by the bed. Seeing that he opened his eyes, he reached out to untie the rope in his hand: “The princess is so delicate, it really worries me.”

The hemp rope was rough, and Xian Sheng’s wrist was red. Some parts of it were broken, and he didn’t move when he was let go.

It’s not that he didn’t want to, but because he really didn’t have the energy. Right now, he still felt nauseous.

He closed his eyes again, feeling tired. He lied in bed like a weak little kitten and his face was pale as if transparent. His lips were also pale.

But for some reason, Zhan Lue wanted to bully him.

Zhan Lue licked his lips and then suddenly reached over to take down the hairpin in his hair. His pitch-black hair scattered on the pillow and it contrasted his appearance, making him appear paler and more exquisite. Even more, Zhan Lue couldn’t shift his gaze from him and Xian Sheng looked over once again.

His eyes were bright and clear. He tried to pretend to be calm and he also stayed alert.

Zhan Lue lifted Xian Sheng’s chin and then gazed at him. “People were saying that this

princess’s appearance can’t be compared to anyone else’s. At first, I thought that they were just exaggerating. Now that I see you today, you’re really beautiful and glamorous. It’s hard to forget you.”

Xian Sheng looked over, but he was unable to shake Zhan Lue’s hand off. Therefore, he mocked, “I didn’t think that the Crown Prince Zhan Lue is a womanizer.”

“We desire food and sex by nature.” Zhan Lue’s thumb rubbed against Xian Sheng’s soft lips. He carelessly did that and it made Xian Sheng angry. He suddenly reached over and bit him, glancing at him harshly, wanting to scare him off. It seemed as though Zhan Lue couldn’t feel any pain, however. Meanwhile, he slightly narrowed his eyes, glancing at the faint pink in between his teeth. “Princess, are you trying to seduce me like this?”

Xian Sheng immediately let him go and then spit on him.

Zhan Lue looked down at his thumb and then he gradually looked back up. He licked his thumb while glancing at Xian Sheng’s confused eyes.

“…”

Xian Sheng seemed to be frozen.

His expression stiffened while Zhan Lue curled his lips up. “Very sweet.”

Xian Sheng’s words were stuck in her heart. His breath heaved up and down, but he was unable to muster a word even after a while.

“Your Highness!” Someone suddenly reported from outside and Zhan Lue left the bed, though unwillingly. “Princess, please wait for a bit. I’ll come to look for you later.”

The moment he left, Xian Sheng covered his mouth and coughed. Half a moment later, he placed his hand down and wiped the trace of blood by the corner of his lips. He was still angry in his heart.

He had a weak body and everyone usually let him have his way normally. Even Emperor Father didn’t dare to yell at him. These years, he had been raised well, so he rarely coughed blood. But today, Zhan Lue had angered him to this point in a few sentences. Xian Sheng felt as though he won’t survive to go back to the capital.

He didn’t know how people would comment on the news that the Eldest Princess of North Liang was angered to death by the North Jin’s Crown Prince.

He knitted his eyebrows and then thought that if Zhan Lue found out that the person he teased today was a man, would he be so disgusted that he couldn’t eat? Maybe he’ll personally chop off the finger that was used to take advantage of him before. Thinking of this, he suddenly thought that Zhan Lue was a hilarious person. He then calmed down a bit.

The camp was very quiet and Xian Sheng stayed by himself for a while before lying down to sleep.

He normally spent a lot of time in bed. Now that he came to the enemy country’s camp, it didn’t change his lifestyle. As for escaping, he knew himself well. Even if there wasn’t a single guard here, with his health, he would die on the road of escaping from the camp.

Since he was here already, he should just enjoy himself. He prepared to see if he could get some information from Zhan Lue about his Second Brother’s whereabouts.

After all, he was in his enemy’s hands. Xian Sheng was still on guard. The moment he heard noises, he was immediately startled.

The head maid hurriedly saluted and said, “According to the Crown Prince, we are here to help the princess change clothes.”

“What sort of clothes?”

He followed the maids’ gaze and noticed that it was an exquisite-looking dress. One could tell that it was delicate and beautiful, clearly from the hands of a well-known clothes store.

“Where is it from?”

“The Crown Prince ordered someone to hurry into the nearby city to receive it.”

“What does he want to do?”

“This…” The two maids looked at each other before saying, “This maid doesn’t know.”

Actually, there was no need to ask. Now that the South Liang’s princess was in the North Jin’s Crown Prince’s hand, he obviously wanted her to wear the new clothes to serve him.

Xian Sheng didn’t know whether she would agree or not if she was a girl, but he was sure that he wouldn’t let Zhan Lue have his way. If the Liang people knew that the South Liang’s princess was actually a prince and was humiliated like this, others would look down upon him even more.

He raised his hand and threw the clothes on the ground. “Scram.”

“Princess…”

“Scram!”

The maid hesitated. One was a captured princess, and the other was a prince with 150000 troops. It was clear who to listen to.

A maid came forward, “This is your Highness’s order. Please don’t embarrass the maid.”

She gave the others a look and they all walked forward, preparing to forcibly change her clothes. Xian Sheng wondered if he was the match against these healthy girls. He hurriedly took a few steps back and while he was panicking, the curtains on the door were suddenly pulled to the side. Zhan Lue said, “Retreat.”

The maids all left and Xian Sheng silently curled up into a ball in bed, a bit afraid.

Zhan Lue stared at him for a while and Xian Sheng looked down, hugging herself tightly. He appeared to be helpless and pitiful.

Zhan Lue bent over and picked up the clothes, patting off the dust. He said, “I just want to see how beautiful the princess must be after changing out of men’s clothes. I don’t have any other intentions.”

Xian Sheng said nothing. Zhan Lue placed the clothes in front of him and continued, “I know that princess has been spoiled and raised delicately as a child. You have a stubborn personality. Unfortunately, I am also stubborn. If the princess is unwilling to grant me my wish, then I’ll have to personally change you out of the clothes.”

Xian Sheng immediately raised his head. “You just said that you had no other intentions!”

“If everything goes well, I naturally don’t have any other intentions.”

Zhan Lue glanced at Xian Sheng. His gaze was full of overbearing and dominance. Xian Sheng had never been humiliated like this. Right then, he felt wronged. However, he was his enemy, so he finally backed up in the end. “Go out.”

Zhan Lue shifted his gaze away and turned around to talk out. He stood in front of the tent but he couldn’t help but tilt his head to look through the curtain as though he could see past it.

He paced back and forth as though thinking about something. Jiang Qin who helped him up the city noticed that he was in a daze. He thought about it before coming over and saying, “Your highness, are you thinking about attacking the city tomorrow? From this subordinate’s perspective, the Liang Country’s princess has already been captured. Right now, there is no way the Liang Country will have someone that can arrange the formation according to the situation.”

After he finished, he noticed that Zhan Lue didn’t respond, but his eyes were pitch-black and he couldn’t read the expression. “Your highness?”

Zhan Lue finally looked up at him and asked, “What?”

“…” So it seems like you didn’t listen to a single thing I said. Jiang Qin looked around and then said, “Is Your Highness thinking about the Liang princess?”

No one expected the weak princess of the Liang Country to be the person on the city tower. Although he only snatched a glance, Jiang Qin noticed that the princess was overly beautiful too. All these years, His Highness had been fascinated in military stratagems and developing new land. Originally, Your Majesty said that after the Crown Prince destroyed the Liang Country, he will find a suitable candidate for marriage for him. It wasn’t strange for the Crown Prince to be moved right now.

Zhan Lue didn’t retort and he glanced at the tent again. He said calmly, “She is very beautiful.”

Jiang Qin glanced at his gaze. Sure. He is really touched. He suggested, “Since the destruction of the Liang Country is inevitable, if Your Highness wants the princess, you don’t need to worry about anything. You can have her wash up and serve you tonight.”

A dark glint flickered in Zhan Lue’s eyes. He subconsciously licked his lips and said softly, “I’m just scared that she’s unwilling.”

Jiang Qin smiled and said, “She needs to serve you no matter whether she’s willing or not. Military Doctor Hu has medicine there. If Your Highness needs…”

Zhan Lue’s gaze became cold right then. Jiang Qin realized that he said the wrong words, so he immediately shut up and found an excuse to escape.

After all, he was the North Jin’s Crown Prince. How could he drug a woman?

Zhan Lue silently walked around. After a while, he walked back to the tent again. He extended his hand and then withdrew it. He said, “Did the princess finish changing?”

There was no movement in the tent.

Zhan Lue knitted his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, “If the princess doesn’t answer, I will come in.”

After a few moments, he pushed the curtains to the side and walked in.

Xian Sheng still sat in bed, but he changed into women’s clothes. It was light green and made him seem like a fairy descending from heaven.

Xian Sheng raised his head and Zhan Lue hid his worry, casually asking, “Why don’t you use some blush?”

Xian Sheng asked, “Just what do you want to do?”

Zhan Lue didn’t bear to shift his gaze away from Xian Sheng. He walked forward and said, “If the princess is willing to be affectionate, I am willing to make a deal with you.”

Xian Sheng was moved. “What sort of deal?”

Xian Sheng felt a bit regretful. If he was a woman, he naturally didn’t mind throwing himself in Zhan Lue’s arms to keep his family safe. But at this time, even if he didn’t have the confidence, he needed to pretend that he had confidence.

“Bow and bend down to you Jin people?” Xian Sheng mimicked his elder brother’s tone and said, “You’re dreaming.”

He said this in a sharp tone, but Zhan Lue wasn’t angry. He sat back down on the bed and reached over to caress Xian Sheng’s long hair. He avoided his touch and at the same time, moved his body even closer to the wall, looking angrily at him.

“Princess has a sharp tongue. Your words are sharp like knives at times and sometimes sweet like honey.” Zhan Lue moved closer and Xian Sheng was forced to move back again. Zhan Lue’s face hovered over him and he softly said, “Do you want to let me try it?”
