Your Highness, Please Love Me Tender
Chapter 35
35. An Order Not Given
Translator: Flying Lines“Master.” After Xiao LuoXuan took his seat, Su Jie got on one knee to greet Prince Qin, his voice cold as usual but his eyes displaying heartfelt loyalty. The fox mask on his face glowed silvery light while the other half unmasked face of his looked delicate, fair and enchanting.
Su Jie was wearing one of the gorgeous red robes Prince Rui had prepared for him, which now he had got used to.
Xiao LuoXuan didn’t let Su Jie get up. He remained silent, his face somber. And Su Jie had to stay on one knee.
“I remember that you don’t like red.” Xiao LuoXuan’s voice sounded after quite a while of silence.
“Yes.” Su Jie was caught in a daze as he had never expected Prince Qin to mention this upon their meeting. He lowered his gaze and replied, “Prince Rui only prepared red robes for me.”
“Prince Rui…” Xiao LuoXuan repeated the name as rage burned in his eyes. He gnashed, “Is he kind to you?”
Su Jie was a bit confused. Why didn’t Prince Qin ask what intelligence he had got? And what was his somber face about? He looked so sulky. Was it because Prince Rui was frequently summoned by the emperor but he himself was ignored?
Countless thoughts in mind, Su Jie replied in a respectful voice, “Master, Prince Rui doesn’t trust me.”
Xiao LuoXuan was silent again.
Su Jie was clueless, confused about what was the purpose of this meeting. He remined on one knee, looking cold and aloof as the fox mask added touches of enchanting beauty to his face.
Xiao LuoXuan seemed quite moody this day.
“Take off your mask,” ordered Xiao LuoXuan in a stern voice after staring at Su Jie’s face for a while.
Su Jie did as ordered, throwing the mask to the ground.
Right at this point, Xiao LuoXuan shot up from his seat, rage burning in his eyes, the chair clattering and shaking due to his violent move.
Su Jie raised his head in shock, perplexed. What happened to Prince Qin? He was acting weird tonight. Why did he fly into a rage all of a sudden?
“Who told you to approach the Xiao ShengNian?!” Xiao LuoXuan’s furious voice rendered Su Jie utterly perplexed.
‘Who? The Guqin Master said it was your order,” Su Jie complained in heart. Then it struck him that Prince Qin must be disappointed in his slow progress. So he lowered his head and replied, “Master, please appease your anger. I will try my level best to gain Prince Rui’s trust and prove useful to you. I am at your disposal anytime.”
Xiao LuoXuan was angered into laughing before asking, “Now answer me, did you get your mission from the Guqin Master?”
“Yes.”
In fact, he got most of his missions from the Guqin Master because Prince Qin could rarely afford time to meet him.
“You never thought about confirming the mission with me when you got it?” Xiao LuoXuan, consumed by rage, kicked right on Su Jie’s chest, who didn’t even try to dodge and took it head on. The moment Xiao LuoXuan’s black boot reflected in his eyes, Su Jie felt the hard kick on his chest, his whole body being knocked backward as a whiff of fishy sweetness of blood rose in his throat.
Puff.
He vomited blood. Su Jie hurried to kneel before Xiao LuoXuan, enduring the pain in his chest and ignoring the blood by the corner of his mouth.
He remained silent, confused about what had got into Xiao LuoXuan.
“Why were you so stupid? When did I give such an order? I would only let you kill, instead of giving you a stupid mission of infiltrating!” Xiao LuoXuan fumed and slapped the table by the side. He regretted the kick the moment he saw Su Jie vomiting blood. However, he was too furious to show concern for Su Jie.
“Please pardon my stupidity.” Su Jie admitted his fault, his face getting ghastly pale.
Xiao LuoXuan words meant…he didn’t order him to infiltrate the mansion of Prince Rui.
Then it was the Guqin Master…
Only Prince Qin could give him order, but it had always been the Guqin Master who passed the word.
Then it followed that the Guqin Master gave the order on his own accord, without Prince Qin’s permission.
Su Jie was dumbfounded. Why? Why did the Guqin Master did this to him?!
