After Being Kidnapped by the Crown Prince - Chapter 226
Chapter 226
(80.2)
Zhao Zhi’s other hand half-embraced her slim body, his expression was even calmer than usual, and his warm tone was flat, “I forced your parents to cancel the marriage you longed for.”
Ming Zhu didn’t want to listen.
Zhao Zhi continued to give her the details of his “crimes”, “I despised your status, I only used you as a pastime to warm my bed, I did not even let you go outside.”
Listening to these words, Ming Zhu’s heart was very uncomfortable, “Don’t say anymore.”
Zhao Zhi laughed, his eyes gradually flooded with water, for his heart hurt every word he said, “In order to save me trouble, I disregarded your health, forced you to drink medicine, and then later I forced you to give birth to a child.”
Zhao Zhi reached out to wipe the tears at the edge of her eyes, “You managed to escape, but then I used the life of the person you love to threaten you.”
Ming Zhu lifted her eyelids, her red and swollen eyes were staring at him, without any emotion inside.
Zhao Zhi held her wrist, teaching her how to place the knife, while saying, “I also harmed you before, didn’t I?”
That dream, it was too real.
Making him unable to tell whether or not those events really happened. Zhao Zhi felt that the him in the dream was very unfamiliar, extremely ruthless.
He said, “I prepared the dagger for you.”
Ming Zhu was stunned and looked at him a little dumbfounded.
Zhao Zhi felt that the mind disease that the imperial doctor was talking about was probably related to him. Such a small cold almost killed her, Zhao Zhi really couldn’t bear it.
The evil things he did to her were too numerous, he deserved whatever retribution he would get.
Love was not about demanding what one wants.
But Zhao Zhi only knew how to stupidly and easily hurt people.
“If you don’t stab me to death tonight, tomorrow I’ll probably still be like I was before, not letting you go anywhere, and I’ll be in charge of whatever you do.” Zhao Zhi said slowly.
Ming Zhu recalled many things, but her deepest memory was that cup of wine, she had countless why, and had gnashed her teeth a thousand times, wanting to ask why.
Hatred rushed forth uncontrollably like a tidal wave.
Her taut emotions were provoked by his few words of instigation, her red eyes looked straight at his calm eyes, as her wrist suddenly used force, the sharp blade directly pierced into his chest, and fresh blood stained his clothes. His moonlight-colored long shirt was quickly dyed with a large halo of blood red.
Zhao Zhi was a man who could endure pain very well, but when he felt this severe pain that was tearing his heart and lungs apart, his throat suddenly couldn’t even make a sound, his tensed back slightly bent down, and all the color on his thin lips completely disappeared, fading into pure white.
Ming Zhu was trembling lightly, tears kept falling down as she stabbed the dagger into his body. She opened her mouth and asked him in a small voice, “Zhao Zhi, does it hurt?”
Zhao Zhi gritted his teeth and even had the strength to smile at her. His breath was weak, “It doesn’t hurt.”
Ming Zhu inserted the blade a little deeper and turned it around, she seemed to hear the sound of blood and flesh turning over. She cried silent tears, “Does it hurt?”
Zhao Zhi’s face was already wet with cold sweat, and at this point, the pain was so bad that he didn’t even have the strength to speak anymore.
Yet he was still thinking of wiping the tears off her face, he had made her cry enough times in this life.
Ming Zhu let go of her hand, her palm was filled with the blood flowing out of his body, and she couldn’t wipe it clean even with a handkerchief, she choked with sobs as she said, “I’m hurting too.”
She was also in a lot of pain.
Because she was able to endure the pain, and didn’t make a sound unless the pain was too extreme, he could bully her at will.
Zhao Zhi looked at the shattered look in her eyes and felt his own heart shatter.
He hadn’t shed a lot of tears in his life. The mist that arose in his eyes gradually turned into droplets of water that icily flowed down the reddened edges of his eyes.
“I’m sorry.”
“Zhu Zhu, I’m sorry.”
Zhao Zhi had only ever bowed his head to her alone, and it was most likely that these three words were also only ever said to her.
The bleeding in his chest gradually stopped, but his complexion was clearly not looking very good.
Ming Zhu seemed to be frightened by the blood all over the floor, she was shivering and curling up on herself.
She hid in the corner, seemingly absolutely terrified.
Zhao Zhi’s consciousness couldn’t hold on any longer, he leaned against the edge of the bed, his breathing slowed down and he slowly closed his eyes.
It took a long time for Ming Zhu to regain her senses from her sluggish state. She looked at the motionless man leaning against the edge of the bed and frowned, was he dead?
Was he still breathing?
Could a person survive a stabbing?
Ming Zhu didn’t know, her mind was a mess. She stretched out her fingers to try to test his breathing, but her hand only reached halfway before she retracted.
She didn’t dare.
Ming Zhu herself still had a high fever, her body was frighteningly hot. After a while, she ran out from the room, but there was no one in the courtyard.
She was not even wearing shoes, running barefoot on the ground, her clothes’ hems followed the wind as she ran, fluttering gracefully, like a forest little fawn fleeing in a panic and lost.
She ran out of the courtyard. Her clothes were messy and her hair was disheveled. There were blood stains on her cheeks, large blood stains on her dress, as well as on her hands, everywhere.
