After Being Kidnapped by the Crown Prince - Chapter 250
Chapter 250
(89.3)
Being reminded of it, Ming Zhu felt it was funny, the corners of her mouth curled up, her fleeting smile looked very sweet, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows livened up along with her smile, as she said, “They were all praising me.”
Zhao Zhi was not surprised, her mood was good.
In the past, Ming Zhu didn’t have many opportunities to attend any banquet, and even if she was invited to go, no one would look at her with positive eyes, most of the people would pretend not to see her, would not talk to her, and them saying pleasant words to her was even less likely.
There was only contempt, disdain, and ridicule.
“They complimented me on my beauty, on my kind heart, and even said that they envied me, saying that I was born blessed.” Ming Zhu didn’t take a single word of it to heart, she turned her head to look at Zhao Zhi, “Actually, how could I not know that their willingness to praise me like this now isn’t because of how much they like me, but because of you ?”
There were also a few people who came to beg her to do some things, asking her to say a few words in front of Zhao Zhi.
Ming Zhu appeared soft and gentle, but actually she wasn’t easily manipulable. With an indifferent tone of voice, she told them go find Zhao Zhi on their own to speak to him.
They hesitated to say something, but then only said that begging the crown prince was useless.
And that now the only person who could speak in front of the crown prince was her.
Zhao Zhi said, “If they praise you, you just listen.”
At a time like this, no one would dare say anything offensive to her.
Ming Zhu felt that this was really meaningless. She was not living comfortably and did not want Zhao Zhi to be comfortable either. She raised her eyes and looked at him with a smile that did not look like one, as she said, “I also saw miss Gu today.”
Zhao Zhi froze, “Which miss Gu?”
Ming Zhu felt that he was pretending, “What do you think?”
Zhao Zhi at first really couldn’t recall, and after a while, he asked, “Gu Wenxuan’s sister?”
Ming Zhu hummed. Since she realized she had no hope of leaving him, she couldn’t be bothered to curb her temper any more, and always spoke shrewdly, which sometimes pissed him off to the point where his teeth were gritting, “Do you still like her?”
Zhao Zhi’s face turned cold, “When did I ever like her?”
Ming Zhu laughed, “When you first saw her on that boat, didn’t you look at her differently?”
Zhao Zhi coldly spat out the words, “I did not.”
Ming Zhu laughed, “Since when has His Highness the crown prince’s guts become so small ?”
That he didn’t even dare admit this.
Zhao Zhi was so angry his brain was aching. He remained silent for a moment, and then directly said, without any intention to hide anything, “At that time, if I looked at her differently, it’s because I thought she looked like you.”
The words blocked in Ming Zhu’s throat were beaten back before she could spit them out.
She looked back, “How do I look like miss Gu?”
Zhao Zhi rubbed her cheek, “You don’t, it’s me who was blinded at the time.”
Ming Zhu didn’t say anything.
Zhao Zhi felt that she had recently become rounder and smoother, and it was very good like this, it wasn’t comfortable to hug her when she was too skinny. But even thought she became plump, she still did not smile much.
Zhao Zhi then remembered how she was looking and smiling at the opera actor on the stage in the afternoon. He did not like her to look at other men with that kind of eyes, especially at a good-looking man.
Handsome and refined, with a bit of Wei Chiyu’s charm.
Zhao Zhi’s heart didn’t feel good.
Behind Ming Zhu’s back, he ordered, “Change the troupe tomorrow, and don’t allow them to clean their faces after the performance.”
The intendant Lin knew that the crown prince could not tolerate even a little bit of sand in his eyes, and did as he was told.
Late at night, Ming Zhu was dragged to the bed by Zhao Zhi, the overwhelming kisses took away her breath, her tilted swan neck looked like a butterfly nearing death, beautiful and fragile.
Zhao Zhi just kissed her, not daring to undo her clothes, and even his fingers were just repeatedly rubbing on her back, not daring to fall elsewhere. For fear that her tears would again burn a hole in his heart.
Zhao Zhi finally slowly loosened his fingers, and without saying a word, he covered her with the quilt.
He had been enduring for many days, but he still asked, “Zhu Zhu, how far have you and Wei Chiyu gone?”

Ming Zhu’s eyelashes seemed to be dyed with a thin layer of water mist, her eyelashes were slightly trembling, and her expression looked a little confused, as if she did not understand the meaning of his words, she murmured: “What?”
Zhao Zhi stared at her clearer and more transparent than water eyes, and swallowed the acidic taste in his numb throat. He remained silent for a moment, and then lifted his hand over her cheeks, before squeezing out the words from his throat: “Did he ……”
Did he touch you or not.
