(53.2)

Ming Zhu pushed him away, as if this could make that bowl of medicine whose smell made her want to vomit go away. The corners of her eyes were soaked and embellished with glowing water, as she said, “Take the medicine a little farther from me.”

Zhao Zhi was not willing to yield to her regarding this matter, this medicine only had benefits for her, but he took a step back: “We’ll wait until you feel better to drink it.”

Ming Zhu wanted to scold him but didn’t dare to do so. Was there something wrong with him, how come he always liked to force her to drink medicine?

Even if she wasn’t sick, because he always gave her medicine, that would make illness appear.

Ming Zhu felt that her temper was not very good recently, she always felt a little irritable, before when she was a little upset or angry in her heart, she could suppress it, but recently she was more and more impatient with him, and could not even be bothered to act in front of him.

She lied on the bed, with her back to him, with no socks on.

She didn’t hold back and said, “If you like the medicine so much, you can drink it yourself.”

“I won’t steal it from you.” Zhao Zhi laughed and retorted back insensibly.

Ming Zhu who couldn’t retort back anything was too lazy to continue talking to him. She rolled over, got out of bed and lifted the curtain. She felt it was too hot and was also too lazy to bother looking for socks to wear, she called Biying and said, “I’m hungry.”

Biying asked, “What would you like to eat?”

She already knew that the miss was pregnant, and she was currently happy for her, there was an unconcealable happy color on her face. Miss Ming Zhu’s good appetite was also good for the child in her belly.

Ming Zhu thought about it, “I want to drink some kind of soup.”

Biying said, “How about chicken noodle soup, would you like it?”

“Yes, I would.” Ming Zhu was not really picky now, she wanted to eat everything, and she could eat everything, “I also want ribs.”

“Yes.”

Ming Zhu completely treated the man behind her like air, she did not know whether it was because the weather was too hot, but the fire of anger in her heart was burning ardently and no matter how she looked at him, she found him an eyesore.

She was wearing a thin gauze dress and had a round fan in her hand, but even so, she still felt damp, hot, and stuffy.

Zhao Zhi saw her somewhat annoyed look, and very tactfully did not provoke her. He retreated to the study in the other room to read and approve a few documents, and when he looked up again it was already evening.

He stood quietly at the window for a while, looking at the evening sun in the sky, he pondered for a moment before lifting his feet and going next door.

After Ming Zhu was finished eating, her anger was almost dispelled, but she still didn’t want to see Zhao Zhi. The day on the calendar was getting closer every day.

Because she was bored, she fiddled with the flowers on the windowsill and cut two new shoots with the scissors in her hand.

Why was Zhao Zhi so free lately? How come he was running to her room twice a day? Wasn’t he going to get married soon? What was the point of staring at her day in and day out?

Ming Zhu turned around, “Aren’t you busy lately?”

Zhao Zhi said, “It’s fine.”

Ming Zhu let out a deep breath, the weather was cooler in the evening, and the turmoiled thoughts stifling her chest also seemed to have subsided a lot.

Zhao Zhi waved to her, asking her to come over.

Ming Zhu was unwilling, she kept her head down and didn’t say anything.

Zhao Zhi was not irritated by the cold treatment, as if he was used to this attitude of hers. If it was before, he might have done something about it, by cutting off her growing thorns.

Ming Zhu didn’t have any other thought, she only hoped for him to leave soon.

But Zhao Zhi seemed to be sticking to her, he had been staying in her room for several days in a row. One time, he even saw the flaming torches she had put inside the drawer, which scared her very much.

However, although Zhao Zhi stayed the nights in her room, he did not touch her again, which made her feel much more relaxed.

As soon as the eight month was over, it was the beginning of the ninth month. It was still very hot, and it might remain like this until the tenth month, before autumn’s arrival. She had already eaten all the watermelons that had grown in the yard, and the watermelon plants were now dried because of the sun.

Ming Zhu was very dense, so much so that she still hadn’t realized that she was pregnant. She ate until she became plump, but when she looked at the rounded pearl and polished jade reflection of herself in the mirror, she was quite happy.

Zhao Zhi ordered Biying to keep a good eye on her, when he was away, it absolutely wasn’t allowed to let her run around again, bouncing and jumping was even less allowed, and every time she ate something, a maidservant had to try it first.

Ming Zhu also felt that she was being watched very closely, especially when Zhao Zhi was resting, they were looking at her like a prisoner, making her anxious in her heart, she thought that her escape plan had been discovered in advance.

As the crown prince’s wedding date was approaching, the lanterns hanging in the residence were replaced with brand new red lanterns. It looked very festive.

Ming Zhu felt that if Zhao Zhi kept on watching her so strictly, she would not even have the opportunity to set a fire and fake her death.
