After Being Kidnapped by the Crown Prince - Chapter 237
~End of chapter 236
Ming Ru was so angry she wanted to die, what she hated most in this life were precisely lowly servant girls who climbed their master’s bed.
But the matriarch really did send two beautiful as flowers girls into her husband’s bedchamber, what was even more annoying was that, a few days ago, that b*tch had been really diagnosed with a pregnant pulse.
Ming Ru was upset and distraught with anxiety. And now that she knew that Ming Zhu, that b*tch, was still alive, and that this mountain chicken had turned into a phoenix, her mood became even worse!
Each and everyone of them were determined to climb on top of her head !
Chapter 237
(84.2)
The matriarch said to Ming Ru, “It doesn’t matter if you offend others, but don’t offend the crown prince. If you obstruct my son’s future, I won’t spare you.”
Ming Ru gritted her teeth and answered yes.
The matriarch deeply looked at her, “Your little sister’s status is now very different, I do not care how you used to bully her, when you see her in the future, you have to give her a humble and honest greeting, and swallow back any words that should not be said. People all have their own destiny, and you can only submit to it even if you don’t want to.”
Ming Ru was going to pass out from anger, she felt even more shame than when His Highness punished her in public just before, when he ordered her to copy the women’s commandments.
??……
Ming Zhu vaguely realized that Zhao Zhi backed her up during the banquet, but there was no fluctuation in her heart, she just felt that the change on the face of those girls who looked down on her was very funny.
Usually, they would use their nose to look at people, and then turn around and call each other sisters, and in such an intimate way.
She sat for less than half a stick of incense, before she felt bored and sleepy. Rather than being here with them to talk about the weather, it would be better to go back to the residence to spend more time with her daughter.
She yawned with disinterest, and after sitting for a few more minutes, she slipped away to the lake outside the side hall.
In the summer, Ming Zhu’s favorite place to stay was in the water. The palace maid who followed her, when she saw that she was taking off her shoes, did not stop her.
“Crown princess, you must absolutely not go where the water is deep.”
“I know.”
Ming Zhu plucked a lotus leaf, made a hat out of it, and put it on her head to block the harsh daylight.
The lotus leaves were swaying with the wind, the pants on her legs had already gotten wet because of the water, though the icy cold lake water didn’t go past her calves.
Zhao Zhi came at some point and quietly watched her stay in the water, “Don’t soak inside for too long.”
Ming Zhu turned around, and when she saw him standing on the shore, there was no expression on her face. She hummed with a low voice.
Just now, Zhao Zhi thought she was going to sink into the water, he was so startled he broke out in cold sweat. He stood in the sun with cold hands and feet, not feeling hot at all.
Ming Zhu slowly walked ashore, her pants inside and the hem of her skirt were thoroughly soaked, and walking was quite strenuous.
Ming Zhu bent down, about to put on her shoes, when her body was suddenly lifted in the air. Zhao Zhi had picked her up by the waist, “Go change your clothes first.”
Ming Zhu could see his perfect jawline when she looked up, and his delicate cold side face, the edge of his eyes were a rare pink color, and light red was outlining his lower eyelids, adding a few more points of color to his solemnity.
His finger bones were hard, causing pain on her soft waist.
All the way, no servant in the palace dared to look up.
Ming Zhu was carried back to the bedchamber by him. She changed her clothes, raised her head and looked outside for a couple of moments. It was no longer early, and in just a while, it would be dark.
Ming Zhu was concerned about the child in her mind, she didn’t really want to spend the night in the palace.
Zhao Zhi told her to relax, “It won’t be too late to leave the palace later.”
Ming Zhu faintly hummed. She got out of bed to serve herself a cup of water and glanced at the green bamboos outside the room, suddenly lost in thought. She lost the force in her wrist, and the cup of water she was holding in her hand fell to the ground, breaking into pieces of porcelain.
There was a carpet with exquisite embroidery in the room, she did not put on shoes when she got out of bed, and walked bare feet directly on the ground. Frightened by the shattering sound, the person retreated two steps to the side.
Ming Zhu hissed, the soles of her feet stepped on broken porcelain pieces, and she grimaced in pain.
Zhao Zhi told her not to move and carried the person back to the bed. The man’s face looked ugly, his face was cold, his hand rested on her hamstring, as he lifted her leg up to take a closer look, “It’s bleeding.”
Fragments were stuck into the flesh, she was injured.
Zhao Zhi looked focused, as his fingers gently picked the fragments out of the flesh.
Ming Zhu felt pain, but it wasn’t painful enough that it was unbearable.
Zhao Zhi used a wet cloth to help her clean the center of her foot, and then began to apply medicine on her foot. Once the cold ointment was smeared on the wound, it hurt and yet didn’t hurt anymore.
He bowed his head slightly, his expression was focused and his movements gentle.
After he was done putting medicine on the wound, Ming Zhu couldn’t wait to move her legs away from him and hide them under the covers.
Zhao Zhi had tirelessly told her over and over again not to walk on the ground with bare feet.
But she always refused to listen to him, which gave him a big headache.
He knew that she felt too hot in the summer and didn’t like to wear socks.
Zhao Zhi couldn’t do anything about it and sighed, at the end of his wits. He then got up and served her a new cup of water, “Drink slowly.”
Ming Zhu took the cup and drank small sips of water.
