After Being Kidnapped by the Crown Prince - Chapter 220
Chapter 220
(78.2)
Zhao Zhi reached out and brushed his hand over her silhouette, and said through clenched teeth, “I won’t.”
Ming Zhu already had no trust left in him. This man never lied to others, but he was never honest and sincere to her, changing his mind at the drop of a hat.
She asked, “Really? Before, you said ……”
Zhao Zhi interrupted her, the voice that came out from the depth of his throat was lightly trembling, and his words were slow, as if he had difficulties to speak, “You did not want this child at that time, I thought you did not like her and did not want to see her, so that’s why I said I’ll have the child be raised in to the palace.”
But Ming Zhu was soft-hearted and couldn’t bear to really not want this child.
Ming Zhu did not even have a reaction when she heard this, she did not feel very happy because of these words at all.
More than half an hour later, it was almost noon when Zhao Zhi finally let her go to the carriage behind to see the child.
The little girl, very aggrieved, nestled herself in her mother’s arms, clutching her sleeves and refusing to let go.
Ming Zhu thought she must definitely have been frightened, and coaxed her in a low voice, “Xiaoman, don’t be afraid, mom is here.”
Xiaoman was not a crybaby, but yesterday she had really been too wronged, she wiped her tears as she hiccuped while crying, “I’m hungry.”
Ming Zhu wiped her face with a handkerchief, “Eat some pastries first, okay?”
She nodded her head, but was still very picky, “I don’t want any sesame.”
Ming Zhu said okay and then gave her a few pieces of sugary cakes to eat. Afraid that she would get a toothache, she did not dare to give her too much.
When the little girl was done eating and drinking, she continued to comfortably stick to her mother, and kept on holding onto her sleeve as she fell asleep, refusing to let go.
It was like this until the evening, once the sky got dark.
Ming Zhu did not get down from the carriage. She coaxed her daughter to eat a proper meal, and then told her two stories before putting her to sleep.
It was nice and warm inside the carriage and and there were two thick quilts on the soft couch, enough for them to spend the night here.
Ming Zhu couldn’t fall asleep. A little maidservant outside the carriage passed a message to her, “Miss, His Highness asks you to go back.”
“Tell him I’m asleep.”
“His Highness won’t believe it.”
“I’m not going.”
The little maidservant did not dare to raise her voice, and ran back with a grimace to make her report.
Ming Zhu stuffed a heater into the quilt, she did not take off her socks, and just directly got into the quilt, planning to rest for the night.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted by someone. Zhao Zhi took a glance at her, “You’re sleepy?”
Ming Zhu ignored him.
Zhao Zhi’s gaze turned to the small child who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and he said, “We’ve arrived at the post station, come down.”
She wrapped her daughter in a blanket and carried her out of the carriage.
Facing her was a gust of cold wind, which awoke her spirits. She was wearing thin clothes, a lake blue liuxian dress, who was unable to protect her from the wind.
Zhao Zhi took his cloak, put it on her shoulders, and took her hand without saying a word, walking into the post station.
There were two rooms left on the second floor, and Zhao Zhi ordered the momo to carry the child into the room.
Ming Zhu got angry and her eyes stared straight at him.
Zhao Zhi unbuttoned the buttons of his cuffs, and removed his wrist guards and straps, as she said, “A child who is almost three years old really shouldn’t sleep in the same room with her mother.”
Hearing this, Ming Zhu only wanted to laugh, she turned to leave, but Zhao Zhi had already locked the door of the room. Looking at her somewhat haggard face, he frowned.
It might because Ming Zhu was angered by him, but her stomach started to throb in pain, her face gradually turned pale, and she covered her stomach with her hands, backing up a few steps. She leaned her body against the table and a chair, barely stabilizing herself.
Zhao Zhi’s heart was thrown in panic, as he asked, “What’s wrong?”
Ming Zhu bit her lower lip. She had already reached the point where she didn’t want to say anything to him, even if the pain was such that she was seeing white in front of her eyes, she still didn’t want to talk to him.
Zhao Zhi picked up her body, “You have a stomachache ?”
The pain was sudden and extremely serious, and she immediately lost the strength to speak.
Zhao Zhi carried her to the bed and asked the servants, with a cold face, to call the doctor who was accompanying them over.
Ming Zhu’s face was hiding in the blanket, her breathing was deep and slow, and she was too exhausted to even move her fingers now.
After the birth of the child, every time her period came, she was in so much pain it was like a trip between life and death. Her period was no longer regular, and the pain made her want to die on the spot each time.
Zhao Zhi sat on the edge of the bed, holding her in his arms, putting his hands over her belly.
Ming Zhu was not grateful at all, telling him to get lost through gritted teeth. She now only had enough strength to say the word “Scram”.
Zhao Zhi didn’t expect her to still dislike him so much even when she was in so much pain, did she really hate him this much?
