After Being Kidnapped by the Crown Prince - Chapter 234
Chapter 234
(83.3)
Zhao Zhi carried the child to the room, took off her shoes and placed them towards the bed. He then lowered the bed curtain to block the faint light.
In the evening, Zhao Zhi had to reapply medicine.
In front of her, he untied the knot tied on his belt, and took off his clothes one by one. The wound had not yet completely scabbed, and it looked painful just to look at it.
Zhao Zhi asked Ming Zhu to apply the medicine on him.
Ming Zhu thought for a moment, “I’m clumsy with my hands, I don’t know how to do that.”
Zhao Zhi said, “That’s okay.”
Ming Zhu lowered her head and her eyes. She was very timid. That night, she had been tormented by nightmares, incited by the anger and hatred that she couldn’t contain, and she stabbed that dagger without any hesitation. But she didn’t even have the courage to look at the wound now.
She didn’t dare to look.
Uncontrollably, she thought back of that day when there was blood all over the floor, all over her hands and all over her clothes.
Ming Zhu’s hands were shaking as she held the medicine bottle, she slowly lifted the gauze on his chest, took one look and then moved her eyes away.
Her fingers kept trembling as she said, “I’ll go call someone.”
Zhao Zhi suddenly held her wrist, “What are you afraid of?”
He didn’t make things difficult for her, “I’ll do it myself.”
Ming Zhu couldn’t wait to give the medicine bottle back to him and stood aside as if she was running away.
Zhao Zhi expressionlessly tore off the top layer of scabs, without even frowning, and directly poured the whole bottle of medicinal powder on it.
When the fine powder mixed with the flesh and blood, Ming Zhu seemed to be able to hear the sound of sparks burning, and it looked very painful.
When Zhao Zhi was done applying the medicine and put his clothes back on, he was already full of cold sweat, and his complexion was frighteningly white, bloodless.
According to reason, he should be weak now, but at night when the lights were out, Ming Zhu was trapped in his arms so hard she couldn’t breath, the strength of the man’s hands on her waist was really too much, he was heavily clenching her waist, afraid that she would run away.
Ming Zhu said that she was in pain, and he relaxed his grip a little bit.
She turned her back to him, closed her eyes in sleepiness, and just when she was about to fall asleep, she felt something hard on her back waist, which was making the soft flesh of her waist uncomfortably.
She immediately ducked forward, but the man behind her dragged her back again.
Ming Zhu felt that her waist was even more painful from being squeezed between that hard thing, she reached out to grab it when she heard a low, muffled grunt coming from behind her ear.
Ming Zhu woke up from her sleep almost immediately. She was stunned for a few seconds, and then hurriedly let go.
Her small face burned red as she dug forward and hid under the covers.
Zhao Zhi knew that he had scared her badly, but he was already restraining himself the best he could, after all, it had already been two or three years since he had any s*xual relationship.
Zhao Zhi reached out to fetch her body back, his hot palms gently soothed her back, his voice was hoarse, “Sleep at ease.”
Ming Zhu curled up into a very distrustful posture.
Zhao Zhi said, “Even if I wanted to do something, I would have to wait for my injuries to heal.”
Ming Zhu thought about it and felt that his words made some sense, he probably wasn’t lying to her.
She gradually put down her nervous defense, and the thorns on her body softened.
That whole night, Ming Zhu didn’t sleep well, and the next day she woke up with a sore waist.
She looked around but didn’t find the child. The intendant Lin told her that the little junzhu had been carried to the study by the crown prince early in the morning.
(TL’s note : junzhu is a title for the daughter of an imperial prince)
Ming Zhu rushed over there. Zhao Zhi was teaching his daughter to read words.
Ming Zhu was quite discontent about this and couldn’t help but say, “She’s still little.”
“Mmh, I just want to teach her to read her name.”
Zhao Zhi had the momo carry the child away, and then looked at Ming Zhu, asking her, “Did you get enough sleep?”
Ming Zhu usually had to sleep for another hour before she could have enough sleep.
“It’s enough.”
Zhao Zhi planned to take her to the palace in the afternoon, and he said to her, “Zhao Xin is hosting a banquet in the palace today, she has been missing you for the past few years.”
Ming Zhu knew that the princess was an extremely good person, she was kind-hearted, frank and candid.
Seeing that she wasn’t too resistant about this, Zhao Zhi was relieved, and he said immediately after, “I’ll take you to the palace to meet her.”
“Alright.”
The maid serving Ming Zhu had been changed. She didn’t know where Biying had been dismissed to by Zhao Zhi. She hadn’t seen Biying since she had returned to the capital.
The new little maidservant didn’t speak much, but she was very hardworking with her hands and feet.
