Your Highness, Please Love Me Tender

150. You Will Carry Me

Translator: Flying Lines

The enchanting peach-blossom-like eyes looked grim and cold. And the strong desire to live from those eyes made people’s hearts tremble.

When he saw Su Jie, Xiao ShengXian had no expression on his face. His lips were dry and not moisturized, they looked pale, and his face was stained with blood and dust. He was a complete mess.

“Who…are you?” Xiao ShengXian’s voice was hoarse. He felt like his throat was burning when he spoke, and the pain in his body was constantly torturing him.

Xiao ShengXian had no experience of survival in the wilderness, so it was a miracle that he was still alive. This morning, he tried to get out of Mount Zangling, but he got lost and was bitten by a snake.

It took Xiao ShengXian a lot of effort to kill the snake with a stick. He applied medicine on his wound and roughly bandaged it. After he was far away from the snake’s corpse, he lay down tiredly. Beneath him, there were soft grasses and the air in each breath was just refreshing.

All that happened in the past crossed his mind. At this moment, Xiao ShengXian felt really too tired to get up.

He closed his eyes and rested for a while when he suddenly felt a shadow looming over his head.

Xiao ShengXian thought that a beast was here to eat him. His eyes suddenly opened and he saw an unfamiliar face.

Xiao ShengXian did not recognize Su Jie because Su Jie had changed his appearance.

“Xiao ShengXian, this is the first time I saw you in such a sorry state,” Su Jie raised an eyebrow when he saw Xiao ShengXian open his eyes.

“You are…?”

Xiao ShengXian felt that the voice was familiar, but he was physically and mentally exhausted at the moment. Even his thinking ability had weakened significantly. He couldn’t remember who the man was for a while.

“The noble Prince Xian now looks like a beggar,” Su Jie didn’t answer his question but just smiled.

“You…” Xiao ShengXian looked cold. He had always paid attention to his clothing and appearance, and he had always showed the graceful, lighthearted and handsome side of his to the public. It was the first time that he got into a sorry situation like this, not to mention the sarcastic tone of the man squatting in front of him, which made Xiao ShengXian even less happy.

Xiao ShengXian snorted coldly. He managed to sit up on his own and then he turned his head to look at Su Jie. His devilish eyes narrowed dangerously. Even though he was covered in blood and dust, he still maintained his arrogance.

Su Jie looked at Xiao ShengXian calmly and said, “Xiao ShengXian, you are the first person to plot against me and survive for so long.”

When he heard this, Xiao ShengXian was stunned and whispered, “You are… Wen Nianxuan.”

Su Jie smiled faintly. He picked up a weed with his right hand, slowly tore its leaves up and said lazily.

“Mmm.”

“What do you want?” Xiao ShengXian frowned. His feelings for Su Jie were extremely complicated. Feeling Su Jie’s cold attitude, Xiao ShengXian got a little upset. He asked, “You’re killing me now?”

“No, I have no option but to save you,” Su Jie smiled and said helplessly.

As a Sharp Sword, Su Jie always had his revenge. When he was in Prince Rui’s residence, Xiao ShengXian not only had him whipped, but also put poison him in his food. According to a Sharp Sword’s character, he would definitely take revenge on Xiao ShengXian, but the problem was he happened to be Xiao Shengnian’s brother…

At first, Su Jie gave priority to his tasks and he didn’t see Prince Xian that often, so he did not retaliate against Prince Xian. However, after the crisis of Death Gu was solved, Su Jie’s heart was already taken by Xiao Shengnian. He couldn’t convince himself not to care about Xiao Shengnian’s feelings, so he had never laid a finger on Xiao ShengXian.

“You are willing to save me because of my brother?” A self-deprecating smile appeared on Xiao ShengXian’s face.

“Not entirely. I just want to tell you that I can put behind what happened before, but in the future, if you do something bad to me… I will make you disappear silently. And the fact that you’re Xiao Shengnian’s brother won’t help you.” He said frankly to Xiao ShengXian. Although he loved Xiao Shengnian, he was not the kind of person who was willing to compromise himself unconditionally. What Su Jie hated most was that his concession might in exchange make the other party insatiable. He was never a person who yielded easily, but he was willing to make an exception for the sake of Xiao Shengnian.

“Don’t worry. I will not harm you again. You’re indeed not a forgiving man…” Xiao ShengXian coughed and a pale smile appeared on his face. And his pair of peach-blossom-like eyes flashed.

Seeing how indifferent Su Jie looked, Xiao ShengXian narrowed his eyes and smiled, “In terms of seniority, you’re still my brother’s better half. So, if you don’t save me, my life will end here.

“Don’t worry. You won’t die,” Su Jie stood up and blew the whistle in his hand.

The sharp whistle pierced the sky. This whistle was used by the soldiers of State YanLing. Anyone who found Prince Xian or encountered danger could blow it.

After the whistle was heard, the ten elite soldiers found Su Jie in no time. Su Jie chose the tallest and strongest soldier to carry Xiao ShengXian.

“I don’t like to have physical contact with strangers,” Xiao ShengXian raised his chin and rejected Su Jie’s good intentions. He didn’t forget to reach out to smooth his hair with a flirtatious attitude.

He didn’t know that his face was now stained with blood and dust, and with his pale complexion, he looked a bit ridiculous.

Su Jie frowned and said, “With your current state, you can’t walk out of Mount Zangling by yourself.”

“Therefore, you’ll carry me.”

Xiao ShengXian smiled innocently and said to Su Jie with his peach-blossom-like eyes blinking naively at him.
