Your Highness, Please Love Me Tender

13. Thirty Times of Flogging

Translator: Flying Lines

This time Xiao Shengxian didn’t wait and wielded his whip right at Su Jie. It was a hard blow. And Su Jie couldn’t help but gasp in pain.

“You two, come over here,” Xiao Shengxian ordered with a frown after the first flogging.

The two guards came obediently to greet the prince.

Xiao Shengxian raised his chin and ordered coldly, “Take off his red robe or I can’t even see the blood.”

Su Jie couldn’t help but curse by stealth. The two guards were quick in action, deftly removed the chains from his body and stripped him of his red coat, revealing his white undergarment.

Xiao Shengxian hummed in satisfaction as the two guards put Su Jie back in chains.

Su Jie put another tag on this Prince Xian: A pervert.

The prince first wriggled his wrist then started flogging.

“Hey, how do you like it?” Xiao Shengxian asked after only a few times of flogging as he was more into mentally torturing this boy.

Su Jie was speechless. Why did this Prince Xian talk so much nonsense? And the thing was, with that captivating and also somewhat wicked smile on his charming face, Su Jie began to wonder if this Prince had come up with some new ways of torturing him.

“This flogging is exhausting. You two, come and finish the rest.” Not getting any response from Su Jie, Xiao Shengxian suddenly felt it bored and threw the whip to the guards.

The guard’s strength was much greater than that of the noble Prince Xian.

After a few times of flogging, Su Jie’s brows knitted tightly to endure the pain. Knowing that Xiao Shengxian was observing him, he deliberately let a few groans escape his trembling lips.

Gradually, his white undergarment was drenched by blood.

The young boy gritted his teeth, his hoarse voice quivering, “It hurts…”

Xiao Shengxian yawned lazily on the side. He stared at the young boy’s look of extreme pain, took a look at the white undergarment now dyed red, and nodded with satisfaction.

After a few more lashes, Su Jie’s body began to wriggle to dodge the whip. Unfortunately, there was no way to escape as both his arms and legs were locked in chains. He had to take all the blows head on.

It was a pity that Su Jie’s eyes were closed all the time, otherwise Xiao Shengxian might be able to see the calmness in them.

Such scale of pain was actually nothing to Su Jie, but he kept groaning with tightly knitted brows.

Cold sweats ran down from his forehead, and his pink lips were now ghastly pale from his bite. Su Jie silently counted the whips in his heart as he put on the miserable look.

Twenty, twenty-one, twenty-two…

At some point, Su Jie held a grudge. Although the pain was nothing to him, he did not like the feeling of being pushed around.

If the punishment was meted out by the Prince Qin, Su Jie would willingly take it in silence. But it was Prince Xian who gave the order. That Su Jie would never forget. Someday he’d make the prince pay for this.

Xiao Shengxian knew little about the young boy, so naturally he had no idea that this boy he was punishing was secretly planning his revenge.

Normally all common folks respected and even feared members of the royal family. However, Su Jie was loyal to Prince Qin who had been holding a grudge against the royal family due to his early years of displacement.

Twenty-seven, twenty-eight…Thirty.

Thirty.

“Well, you can leave.” Xiao Shengxian dismissed the two guards.

Su Jie now looked extremely weak.

“What a delicate boy. You can’t even endure such a little punishment.” Xiao Shengxian reached out and squeezed Su Jie’s face, all smiles.

Su Jie rolled his eyes and retorted with a frown, “Try it yourself and see how such LITTLE PUNISHEMENT feels.”

He meant to express his toughness through the words but, unfortunately, his stomach grumbled again.

Xiao Shengxian was rendered in a daze, speechless as his enchanting eyes fell on the boy’s flat stomach.

Su Jie was utterly embarrassed.

“Poop-ha-ha-ha…” After coming back to himself, Xiao Shengxian burst out laughing and even reached out to touch Su Jie’s stomach, only to feel the drenched blood on his clothes.

Disgusted, Xiao Shengxian took out a handkerchief to wipe his hand and asked in a teasing tone, “You hungry?”

Su Jie’s face flushed scarlet out of embarrassment, even the tip of his ears turned red.

What a shame! Why can’t you choose a better time to growl!!! Su Jie thought, nearly reduced to tears.
