After Being Kidnapped by the Crown Prince - Chapter 216
Chapter 216
(76.3)
This evening, Zhao Zhi drank the very powerful Nü’erhong wine, so his head was dizzy all night, accompanied by a headache that was difficult to ignore.
For as far as he could remember, he had never cried a tear. He had even forgotten what it was like to cry.
It was bitter.
It was a numbness that couldn’t be reversed.
Ming Zhu struggled to get free, but was unable to push him away with the force of both her arms and legs, and on the contrary she ended up panting from exhaustion. She got a little tired.
Neither of them spoke again.
As Ming Zhu was forced to lean on his shoulder, her nails harshly pierced into his back, as if to vent all of the extreme pains she had experienced on him all at once.
When Hong Ling noticed that the light in Ming Zhu’s room was still on, she put on a coat, knocked on the door, and opened her mouth, about to speak, when suddenly the door was gently pulled open. The man with a ghastly white complexion was wearing a white gown, the edge of his eyes was a bit red. He looked cold and dignified.
Hong Ling’s eyes widened, wondering from what moment he silently came inside Ming Zhu’s room.
She inclined her head towards inside to look, but Zhao Zhi only opened a small gap in the door, and his tall, slender body blocked her view.
Zhao Zhi said, “She’s asleep.”
Hong Ling contained her voice to ask: “Why are you here?!!”
Zhao Zhi lowered his eyes and swept two cold glances at her, “Keep your voice down, don’t disturb her.”
After saying that, the man closed the door to the room, shutting her out.
Hong Ling raised her fist, intending to knock hard on the door at first, but then thinking about Ming Zhu, she held back. This man was really too sneaky! He actually entered Ming Zhu’s bedroom in the middle of the night, he was really shameless.
She cursed him while hoping that Ming Zhu could quickly marry a good man in the future, to make this man who had abandoned her and was shamelessly asking her to return to his side angry to death !
Zhao Zhi was now pretty much sober from the wine, the woman in bed had already fallen asleep, breathing steadily, with water droplets hanging from her eyelashes, as if they were stained by early morning dew. Her eyelashes were long and thick, like a butterfly spreading its wings under her eyes.
When she was asleep, she appeared to not be very happy, she was curled up around herself, hiding in a nest to find a sense of security.
Zhao Zhi had a bad headache and drank two glasses of water to suppress his tipsiness.
When he thought of the flash of hate in her eyes just now, as well as her coldness as she refused to say even a word to him, the pain in his chest became more and more profound.
Zhao Zhi used his fingers to wipe off the wet marks on her face, as his gaze stared fixedly at her face. She had cried tonight, tomorrow her eyes would definitely end up swollen.
Zhao Zhi himself couldn’t fall asleep, his eyes hurt so much he could not stand it.
Ming Zhu woke up in the early morning, her head still blurry when she opened her eyes. She slowly sat up from the bed and then realized that Zhao Zhi still wasn’t gone since last night.
“You’re awake.”
Ming Zhu looked at him, his eyes were clear now, he was probably sober from the wine.
Zhao Zhi then said, “I ordered them to cook porridge for you.”
Ming Zhu silently fixed her clothes, tied her belt, and got out of bed without saying a word. When her feet touched the ground, her brain was a little dizzy, Zhao Zhi supported her by holding onto her arm, “Do you want to sleep a little longer?”
Ming Zhu spit out the words, “No need.”
Zhao Zhi didn’t sleep all night long, the blood streaks in his eyes looked very frightening, he slowly removed his fingers and let go of her.
Ming Zhu quietly drank the porridge in front of her, and when her belly was full, she raised her head to look at the man sitting across from her.
Zhao Zhi clenched his fingertips, actually feeling a little nervous, his back was tense and straight, as he asked, “What’s wrong?”
When Ming Zhu saw the scabbed wound on his forehead, there was no fluctuation in her heart, this wound did not hinder his appearance, but made him look broken, a look that he usually didn’t have.
Her eyes were empty as she asked, “Do you remember what you said last night?”
Zhao Zhi swallowed his saliva, his voice was hoarse: “Mmh.“
Ming Zhu nodded as if nothing was the matter, and after saying a simple “oh”, she lowered her face and asked him, “Since you feel sorry towards me, can you release Wei Chiyu?”
Zhao Zhi was still as indifferent on the surface as usual, he frowned as if he was seriously considering it, but his heart was actually being torn apart and his lungs splitting.
Seeing that he was not answering for a long time, “Do you want me to beg you?” She then said seriously, “Your Highness, the crown prince, I beg you.”
Zhao Zhi lowered his eyes to cover his bloodshot eyes, “You eat first.”
“I’m done eating.”
“Eat more.”
Ming Zhu still didn’t move, she really couldn’t eat anymore.
Zhao Zhi took a deep breath, and said, “Smile at me.”
It was such a simple request, yet Ming Zhu couldn’t do it. She looked at Zhao Zhi’s face and tried very hard to smile at him, but she really couldn’t make a smile.
She couldn’t even act anymore.
The sunlight outside the door folded on her face, illuminating her clear face.
The sunlight was warm and bright, the weather was as good as the day he first saw her.
