Forced to Marry the Enemy Prince

Translator – Xiao He Lian

Chapter 83

The plate of fish was quickly removed. Although Qiu Wu Lun inherited his father’s sworn enemy, he was still polite to his sworn enemy’s wife, so he quickly apologized.

Qi Ziyou frowned, wanting to save face, he did not say anything

Xue Xiu suppressed her nausea and shook her head slightly: “Since you didn’t know, I don’t blame you. Let’s have dinner.”

She looked at Xian Sheng, who smiled uncomfortably.

Zhan Zhen whispered into his ears: “Your complexion doesn’t look good, what’s the matter?”

The faint discomfort was like the time he saw Zhan Zhen’s injury, it kept hovering in his chest. He shook his head: “It’s okay.”

Zhan Zhen is really sensitive and considerate now and he notices even the slightest changes in his face. He smiled at the man, secretly guessing that he may have cried and slept a lot today. 

Xue Xiu ate very delicately, taking a small bite, but not much. Zhan Zhen asked curiously, “Don’t they say that pregnancy will increase your appetite? Why do you still eat so little?”

Qi Ziyou explained: “she eats a lot. The doctor said to eat less and have more meals. She eats five meals a day.”

Zhan Zhen was taken aback and Xian Sheng was also very surprised.

The storyteller in the audience was still talking about the Son of God and the audience urged him to quickly make up an ending to the rumor but the storyteller laughed, “No hurry, let’s wait and see how the Taoist priest ends it!”

When the minister and the monarch ate together, there were not many people who could eat well. Except that Zhan Zhen asked about some pregnancy matters from time to time, others were a little cautious.

The questions asked were not different from what was written in the book. At first, it was drowsiness and fatigue. Also a little fat and it is diagnosed after the morning sickness.

Xian Sheng secretly remembered everything.  When he left the table, it was completely dark, but there was a night market in the north and the lights were bright outside and there were street performers playing with fire, which was very lively.

Now that Xian Sheng came out, he didn’t want to go back. As if he just kept walking like this, he would feel liberated.

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Zhan Zhen didn’t mention going home, instead just put the cloak on him, gently wrapped it around his body and walked slowly with him on the street.

Xian Sheng was soon tired of walking, his breathing was slightly heavy. He stopped and the man beside him squatted down in front of him: “Come on, Husband will carry you back.”

“I don’t want to go back yet.”

“Then let’s stroll around. “

Xian Sheng leaned on his back, wrapped his hands around his neck and said, “Have you found any trace of Qin Yi?”

Since he hasn’t been too fierce with your brother, he won’t lay his hands on you.” Zhan Zhen said: “I know that he is nearby, but I just can’t find anyone. He Ermi is superb in disguise. With him by his side, Qin Yi can change his face at any time.”

Xian Sheng nestled on his shoulder and did not speak.

Zhan Zhen said: “I will definitely kill him.”

“I know.”

“In order to drive me out he skinned the imperial preceptor alive” Zhan Zhen’s muscles tightened, he pursed his lips and gently closed his legs. Xian Sheng’s whole body was full of jitters, and his heart was cold.

“So many people were killed by Qin Tao and seriously injured me. Like a bereaved dog, guarded by the imperial preceptor we retreated all the way to the mountains. Qin Yi followed his elder brother and led him to a dead end.” Zhan Zhen’s voice was very heavy, and every word seemed to be soaked in blood: “imperial preceptor settled  me down in an inconspicuous tree, risked his own life to lead them away, but was caught.”

Xian Sheng’s hands gently hugged his neck, and he said after a long while, “I hope that one day, the two countries can be truly peaceful.”

When the war was raging, except for the ones at the beginning, many were innocent people. Zhan Zhen’s imperial preceptor still has Zhan Zhen to avenge him, but others don’t.

Zhan Zhen’s heart bears his soldiers, and Xian Sheng’s heartache is the same as that for South Liang’s soldiers. Even if he is married to Jin, he still has the blood of south Liang in his bones.

“Let’s not fight. ” He whispered “Zhan Zhen, if one day you become the emperor, don’t go to war again. Okay?”

Zhan Zhen said solemnly: “When I was only eight years old, the war had already begun. The Liang Country’s fierce general Qin Tao, and prince Xian Shang had already become famous for killing Marquis Qi’s family. Since I was a child, my father said that one day, I would have to go to war.”

“My father never had the idea of invasion, but at the beginning, it was your father who used the fact that we had killed the noblemen of the Jin Dynasty to raid the spies’ strongholds.”

“Jin State grabbed the South liang spies but didn’t kill them. Obviously, he could use them to exchange the hostage.”

“It’s Qin Tao.” Xian Sheng said: “He’s the one to blame.”

“Xian sheng.” Zhan Zhen sighed: “There is no point in arguing between you and me here. The important thing is, the two countries have shed all their blood… Although it is time to recuperate, for Qin Yi, this is a private vengeance.”

“Kill him then.” Xian Sheng said: “He should have died.”

His attitude was calm but Zhan Zhen tilted his head slightly: “He has a deep affection for you and you are not touched at all?”

“He stayed still while you captured twenty cities within two years. He watched coldly until I was exchanged in marriage to save Liang” Xian Sheng said softly, “In the name of liking me, he let the people I care about into deep water. Don’t you think I have feelings for him?”

Zhan Zhen didn’t speak for a long time.

“My father chose to not marry me because he didn’t believe in him.” Xian Sheng said slowly: “He is ready to sit back and take advantage of the situation. He wants me, I’m afraid he also wants the mountains and rivers of south Liang. From my point of view, you returned ten cities. And my father told me, “Even if you are an enemy, you are an upright person and that you are better than him.”

Zhan Zhen didn’t expect the Emperor of Liang to boast about himself. His eyes flashed: “What else?”

“It’s good to be able to say one good word about you and you expect to hear more?”

Xian Sheng’s heavy mood was relaxed a little because of his give an inch takes a mile attitude and he felt amused.

Zhan Zhen propped him up a bit more and said, “Do you want Qin Yi to die?”

“Want “ Xian Sheng said: “If it weren’t for his father, I would have killed Qin Yi personally.”

“Do you have a way to find him?”

“You don’t have to guard me so much all the time, he will naturally come to me.”

“This is impossible.”

Qin Yi is cautious and will not show his face easily unless he uses Xian Sheng as bait. He is like a poisonous snake, braving his head and quickly disappearing. Zhan Zhen could not easily make this decision.

“I thought…you will be a little touched after all he has spent a lot of thought for you.”

“Today is different from the past1 It means that the present is not what it used to be, and it means that it cannot be compared with the same day. That is: the current situation is different from the past, and the current situation is different from the previous one..”

Qin Yi’s chasing him all the way to Jin was indeed unexpected. He did feel touched sometimes, but that touch was insignificant compared to Liang. He didn’t want to get tainted with Qin Yi but hoped that he would leave as soon as possible. After all, once the state of Jin goes back on its word, Qin Yi’s Zhelong city can also come in handy.

But now, Qin Yi has discovered his secret. Xian Sheng was prepared for the worst.

At that time, when Zhan Zhen knew he was also disgusted, let alone Qin Yi. He had calculated for so many years, but got the news that the princess was not a princess, Xian Sheng believed that he must be dormant in a corner, waiting for a chance to kill.

“You let me be bait. ” Xian Sheng said: “I’ll help you kill him.”

“Impossible.” Zhan Zhen said: “I don’t need your help, I’ll take care of it. “

After a pause, he said again: “I promise you that, when I become the emperor in the future and will never take the initiative to go to war with South Liang… You can supervise on the side.”

“I believe you.”

Zhan Zhen carried him all the way back home and when he reached the door, he called out only to realize that Xian Sheng was asleep.

Xian Sheng’s character is more  sylvan than he imagined. He knows that Xian Sheng did not lie, he really has a killing intent towards Qin Yi. Putting himself in his place, he is even a little afraid of what Xian sheng will do to him.

He has an incomparably beautiful skin, which is his best weapon.

But, he believed in Zhan Zhen.

Beside Zhan Zhen, he slept very deep and soundly and he had a nightmare again that night.

When he opened his eyes, there was the sound of practicing swords outside and Xian Sheng lay down and didn’t move. He just kept his eyes open and stared in a daze.

When Zhan Zhen came back, he said, “I didn’t see my imperial uncle when I came back this time.”

“He went out to collect medicine. I heard that there were rare medicinal materials, but he left A’yao at home.”

That kid is clever.

He is also a child prodigy, he is very smart and learns things very fast. He is a good seedling to learn medicine.

Xian Sheng smiled and said, “I thought about it all night. I think it’s rare to hear such rumors in the market. I want to go to Hongqiao to see which Taoist preached it.”

“I’ll accompany you.”

The two arrived at the place, but there was no one there. Zhan Zhen inquired around and someone said, “He has been here for several days. I heard that he is waiting for someone. He will come again in the evening”

“Do you know where he lives?”

“I really don’t know.”

Zhan Zhen ordered someone to inquire about it, then he sat down on a small stall with Xian Sheng and said, “it is boring to wait, let’s eat a bowl of wontons.”

Xian Sheng did not refuse.

The small wontons are very fresh, but a bit hot and the Xian sheng ate deliciously. Zhan Zhen observes him and asks: “Did you forget what Xue Xiu taught you yesterday?”

Xian Sheng: “?”

“Why are you eating so heartily?”

Xian Sheng said: “This is not fishy, I do not feel uncomfortable”

“Of course you are not uncomfortable. Zhan Zhen hate iron for not making steel2Hate iron for not making steel is a Chinese idiom, the pinyin is hèn tiě bù chéng gāng, which describes being dissatisfied with the person you expect is not up to your expectations, and eager to hope that he will get better. From Qing Cao Xueqin’s “Dream of Red Mansions” ” But you also have to pretend too ah.”

“Xue Xiu also didn’t feel uncomfortable…….when eating anything else” Saying so, Xian Sheng put down the spoon. Zhan Zhen frowned and thought about it, then suddenly took his hand and said, “It’s cold here, let’s go to the restaurant and eat.”

Zhan Zhen came to the restaurant to eat with his wife in a private room. He ordered a few light dishes and then ordered fish. When the fish came up from one end, Xian Sheng’s expression began to look wrong.

Zhan Zhen fanned his hand to remove the smell and asked him: “What’s wrong?”

Xian Sheng suddenly covered his face and said with an ugly expression, “Take it away”

“Yes, like this ah. I will bring you out for every meal. And when you act like this, the servants will know.”

Xian Sheng pinched his nose and said. ”You take it away quickly!”

“Yes, that’s it” Zhan Zhen praised him, and said: “When Qi Sile comes back, he can take the pulse in front of so many witnesses… No one can guess that it is false.”

Xian Sheng’s stomach churned suddenly. He stood up and pushed open the window, taking a deep breath, his face was pale for a moment and he didn’t speak while holding the window lattice.

He was surprised and bewildered because he found that he was really a bit nauseous. Although he didn’t usually like that fish, he never felt it was fishy.

Zhan Zhen walked over to wrap around his body, wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, frowned and said, “You are sweating. In front of the husband, you don’t have to work so hard.”

Xian Sheng leaned on him softly, weakly said: “I’m really a little uncomfortable.”

Seeing this, Zhan Zhen didn’t expect him to enter the play like this. He rewarded him with a kiss on his eyelid and said: “Good. If you want to deceive others, you have to deceive yourself first.”
