Forced to Marry the Enemy PrinceChapter 13.1

The snow in the North lasted a few more days. Xian Sheng actually got to see the thick snow covering the ground. He was eager to go out and play in the snow, but was strictly stopped by Zhan Lue because he got a cold and then a fever.

He was locked in the room. Although Xian Sheng didn’t make it obvious, he was clearly upset. jsSMrg

The doors and windows were shut. Xian Sheng’s head felt heavy and his nose was stuffed. He had a lung disease in the first place. Now that he coughed from time to time, his chest was slightly in pain from the vibrations. He lied in bed, barely breathing through his mouth.

Zhan Lue ordered a royal physician over and they prescribed a prescription. Although Xian Sheng took the prescription for two days, his conditions didn’t improve.

This piece of news quickly spread across the entire royal palace. The common people all heard about it and they began to discuss it spiritedly.

The break was over and Zhan Lue was forced back to the military camp. On the way back while riding the horse, the capital showered in ice and snow was still bustling with excitement. He stopped and looked around, buying a baked sesame seed-coated cake. uzgKxE

He got back on his horse and left when a young man suddenly walked out from the corner. He glanced at Zhan Lue’s rear view, his gaze cold.

The person besides him said, “I heard that Princess Xian Sheng fell sick again. She probably won’t come to the ice soccer competition.”

“We’ll find a way.”

“…There are people spreading rumors that she won’t make it past the first winter of the North.”

Then, he started to get lost in his thoughts.

Zhan Lue would always bring him back foo these few days. He didn’t have a good appetite, but the rare and uncommon snacks would always arouse his appetite. The moment he thought of it, drool flowed down his lips. When Zhan Lue left this morning, he specially reminded him to bring back the baked sesame seed-coated cake from yesterday. 7fvYEI

The baked sesame seed-coated cake could also be dipped in soup, so it wasn’t that dry. However, the soup was warm in the beginning, so it couldn’t soften the cake. It was due to this that made the cake crispy and tasty. Mixed along with the soup, it was delicious.

When Zhan Lue walked in, Xian Sheng already sat down by the table, well-behaved. He was waiting eagerly like a puppy or kitten waiting to be fed.

Zhan Lue took out the soup from the meal box and warmed it up on the pot on the stove. Then, he delivered the baked sesame seed-coated cake he kept in his chest to Xian Sheng. He said, “The ice soccer competition will be held in three days. If the princess still hasn’t recovered by then, you won’t be able to join in on the fun.”

The warmed soup was brought to the table. Xian Sheng tossed bits of the cake in there and said unhappily, “I will recover.” 2vmNCI

He used his chopsticks to submerge the cake into the soup, eating it like that. His body quickly warmed up. He lifted his head in satisfaction only to see Zhan Lue gone from the room.

Usually, when he was at home, his elder brothers would stay with him. But only Zhan Lue would come look for him nowadays.

He wasn’t annoyed. He walked over to the couch. Zhan Lue slept here at night, but it was his place in the morning. He could hear the snow falling on the ground although separated by the window. Sometimes, he heard rustling. Sometimes, the birds would chirp on sunny days. It was quite pleasing and satisfying.

It was unclear how long passed before someone suddenly knocked on the window. He shifted his gaze and the rustling noise began again. Xian Sheng hesitated before reaching over to push the window to the side. There wasn’t anyone outside. However, there was a cute and funny-looking snowman standing in the yard. It had a chubby and round belly, and two foggy-black eyes. Zhan Lue’s red windbreaker was on time, and it made the snowman look quite handsome. pJbEkh

He suddenly realized something. Xian Sheng laughed and hurriedly looked for Zhan Lue’s figure. He didn’t see him. He immediately leaned against the window and peered out. Zhan Lue was hiding by the side of the window. Seeing his action, he walked over and pushed his head back. “How can a princess act like this?”

Xian Sheng sat back down on the couch, thinking that he wasn’t a princess from the start. He leaned against the window and asked, “Didn’t you refuse to let me open the window?”

“There isn’t much wind today. You can keep it open for a while.” Zhan Lue looked at Xian Sheng’s smile and suddenly asked, “Princess, is your period gone yet?”

He suddenly shifted the topic and Xian Sheng murmured, “You promised to wait until I’m willing… Plus, I’m still sick. Cough.” lWRxCu

As though to prove his point, he started coughing again. Zhan Lue seemingly smiled at him before extending his arms, closing the window.

Xian Sheng was speechless.

Zhan Lue walked in from the front door and sat on the cough, hugging Xian Sheng. His eyelashes flickered and his face was pinched. “I don’t think that’s right.”

“What’s not right?” wSYpRo

“If I keep my promise, won’t you just stay sick? You might as well let me have my way, and we’ll treat each other sincerely. It’s better than you trying hard to stay sick. It’s not good for your body either.”

“…Since when did I try to stay sick? Don’t, don’t spew nonsense.”

Zhan Lue lowered his head and kissed him. “I have been enchanted by you lately. After thinking closely about it, although you said I should wait until you’re willing, this is all fake. Rather than you kissing me, it’s better if I just take my chances. So why should I keep my promise?”

“Then…” Xian Sehng grabbed his hands and said nervously, “If you force me, I won’t like you anymore.” G O01h

“Princess and I are a legitimate couple. The moment you married over, you should know the responsibilities you have to assume. Isn’t it too late to say that I am forcing you right now?”

He acted lazily, but his grip on Xian Sheng was powerful. He tried his best to keep his legs together and curl his body into a ball. He hugged his hands tightly before starting to cough again. “How, how can you do this? I’m still sick… you…I won’t like you anymore!”

“Does it really matter if you like me or not? Once I have your body, your heart will belong to me soon enough too.”

Xian Sheng’s chest hurt from his twisted logic. His head felt heavy, but he didn’t forget to hug his legs tightly. “Zhan Lue… I’m sick. You can’t do this. I will hate you.” jws0dH

“How can you possibly be sick so long when it’s just a cold?”
Zhan Lue actually thought he was pretending to be sick? Xian Sheng parted his lips, but suddenly didn’t know what to say. “Your Highness… I know you’re displeased. I, I will help you… don’t touch me, okay?”
