After Being Kidnapped by the Crown Prince - Chapter 207
~End of chapter 206
Hong Ling scolded Zhao Zhi several times in her heart. When she first came to Yangzhou, she felt that Ming Zhu was depressed all day, and it was difficult to make her laugh sincerely.
Later, the child was born.
And then later, she seemed to be less resistant to Lord Wei, and the smiles on her face increased a lot. It seemed that goods things were finally approaching, yet this dog man, not giving up, actually made his bloody way here.
Ming Zhu shook her head.
Hong Ling was uneasy, “He wouldn’t force you, right?”
Chapter 207
(72.3)
Judging from the dog man’s style of action today, without discussing a word to them, he placed his own people to guard them. Guarding was a nice way of saying things, as if he was protecting them, but actually, in Yangzhou where was there any danger?
Ming Zhu smiled at her, “Don’t worry, it will be fine.”
Hong Ling couldn’t figure it out, “I really don’t know how he found his way here.”
Ming Zhu said, “I’ve had bad luck since I was a kid.”
She really was a very unlucky person.
She always encountered all the bad things.
Ming Zhu did not know what Zhao Zhi wanted, she went out every day as usual, but no one followed her.
But she also did not see Wei Chiyu for a few days, and couldn’t ask for news of him, so her heart was uneasy for a few days in a row.
After two more days, Ming Zhu finally was able to see Wei Chiyu, and when their eyes met each other, her eyes immediately turned red.
Wei Chiyu’s face was so pale he did not look quite normal. He pulled up a smile in front of her, holding back the pain as he asked, “Why are your eyes red?”
Ming Zhu took a few steps forward but didn’t dare to reach out and touch him, “Are you okay?”
Wei Chiyu’s face opened in a smile, “What could happen to me ? Don’t worry.”
In just a few days, Ming Zhu felt that his figure looked thinner, his complexion was pale. He seemed to have lost weight again.
Ming Zhu didn’t know why she felt like crying as soon as she saw him, she lowered her eyelashes and hid her reddened eyes. She then took out the knee pads she had made for him a few days ago and handed them to him, “It’s for you.”
Wei Chiyu’s thin white fingers tightly squeezed the knee pads, and thanked her. He paused a few seconds, before he said, “You didn’t have to make it for me yourself.”
It was a lot of work and effort.
He remembered that Ming Zhu didn’t like sewing at all, and when he asked her to make him a few pouches, she complained that her hands hurt. Fine needlework would inevitably hurt her fingers.
Ming Zhu said, “Making it by hand and buying it, it’s just not the same.”
Wei Chiyu’s ears turned a bit red, he smiled, his voice warm, “Yes, it’s not the same.”
Ming Zhu’s face looked as if she had put powder on it, her snow-white porcelain skin was tinged with the color of spring. Before parting, she said to Wei Chiyu, “You have to take good care of yourself.”
“Alright.”
A few days later, Ming Zhu learned from Hong Ling’s mouth that Wei Chiyu was seriously ill after being detained by people from the yamen bureau and being arrested.
The doctor couldn’t get in, so no one could treat him for his illness.
Ming Zhu guessed that this matter definitely had something to do with Zhao Zhi. The peaceful days she had these past few days made her mistakenly think that Zhao Zhi had returned to the capital and would not come to her again. It turned out that he still wanted to force her.
Ming Zhu still remembered where Zhao Zhi lived. After coaxing her daughter to take a nap, she then went out, taking the initiative to go find Zhao Zhi.
The servants at the gate of the mansion seemed to know that she would come today, as they very respectfully led her to the study.
Ming Zhu heard a repressed cough. The heavy wooden door was opened from the inside, and she stepped over the threshold, stepping inside with light steps.
Zhao Zhi took a few sips of warm water to suppress the bloody air in his throat. She was willing to come find him, but he was not happy at all.
Zhao Zhi looked at her face and slowly asked, “Did you come to beg me on his behalf?”
Wei Chiyu had someone murdered two years ago, he did it cleanly, not leaving any leak. But it was not without flaws. When the evidence was found, Zhao Zhi of course wanted him to be stripped off a layer of skin.
“You said you wouldn’t kill him.”
Zhao Zhi wiped the blood stains from the corners of his mouth with a cloth, “It’s the yamen bureau who caught him.”
When Ming Zhu liked him before, she felt that he was the one for her. But right now, as she was standing in front of him, her mind was full of everything that was bad in him.
Her gaze moved to the long sword hanging on the wall, which seemed to be very sharp.
She slowly moved her feet and walked to Zhao Zhi, the woman’s body seemed to carry an elegant orange blossom fragrance, she caught his hand and put a dagger into his palm. She said, “Why don’t you kill me with your own hands first?”
Zhao Zhi’s face was as white as paper, and his fingers trembled lightly.
Ming Zhu lifted her delicate snow-white face and smiled at him, “Zhao Zhi, I want to marry him.”
This was the first time she smiled at Zhao Zhi after he found her again.
(73.1)
Zhao Zhi’s heart was empty. His face gradually turned ashen as he tried his best to restrain his emotions.
The dagger he was holding in his palm seemed to be poking into his heart, and he swallowed the sour feeling in his throat, his taut eye sockets were a little painful, and there was a layer of black and icy mist creeping in front of his eyes, hiding his joy and anger.
Zhao Zhi’s voice sounded like he was unconcerned, “Do you think Wei Chiyu is a very clean man?”
He was half mocking, half sneering.
