(56.2)

Ming Zhu froze for a moment, then slowly shook her head. Before she had time to drink, he had interrupted her.

Zhao Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, but the force he was using to squeeze her chin did not ease. His voice was as low as before, no joy nor anger could be heard from it. The look in his eyes as he lowered them to look at her was still cold. He spat out the words: “You’re not allowed to fool around.”

Ming Zhu felt pain on her face from his grasp, her soft white face was left with red fingerprints.

Seeing her frown, Zhao Zhi’s fingers loosened. As he gently stroked her face, the glacial look on his face softened a little, but the words he said were still cold and harsh, “If you hurt my child, I will not spare your family.”

Ming Zhu lowered her head and said indifferently, “You never care whether I’m willing or not.”

The words she said were not spoken out of blame, she was just flatly stating the truth with a dull tone of voice.

Zhao Zhi gritted his teeth and restraining himself. His swollen eyes stared at the profile of her face as he said, “I thought you had changed your mind.”

In his own wishful thinking, he had believed that her heart had softened, that she had accepted this child. In the end, he was the one who loved too much on his own, regarding this matter, she again and again refused to give in. Her heart was even colder than stone.

The corners of Zhao Zhi’s bitterly raised up, his eyes were both painful and sore, he swallowed his saliva, his voice hoarse as he said to her, “If you don’t want to raise the child, it’s okay.”

He let go of her chin. The look in his eyes was indifferent as he moved away. He said: “When the child is born, there’s no need for you to care about it, I will send the child to the palace for it to be raised there.”

Ming Zhu’s heart felt like it had been stabbed and sharp needles precisely pierced her temples. She could hardly speak because of the pain.

The color on her face suddenly turned a few shades whiter, the vision in front of her eyes darkened, and she held onto the table to stay standing, her breath was a little unstable: “I got it.”

Concubines were not qualified to raise their own children in the first place, it was normal that he would make such a decision.

She just had an unspeakable sadness in her heart.

Looking at her ghastly pale face, Zhao Zhi also did not feel good in his heart, but if she wasn’t afraid, she would absolutely not listen to him, and would find yet another opportunity to abort the child when he would not be paying attention.

He lifted her face and met her eyes. Hardening his heart, he said, “Zhu Zhu, you know that I’m not a good person, so don’t intentionally make me angry.”

In the past, Ming Zhu hadn’t thoroughly experienced his methods. In the end, she still thought too well of him.

She said, “Okay.”

Zhao Zhi didn’t know if her current compliance was sincere or perfunctory, but it didn’t matter anymore, as long as she was willing to listen.

The door lock was broken. Zhao Zhi ordered the servants to come over to fix it. The inside of the room looked like a wreck.

The maids carefully entered the room to clean up, and with dexterous hands and quick feet, they very soon cleaned up all the debris on the floor.

The kick that the crown prince gave in his fit of rage had really frightened them all half to death. They were afraid that this thunder would come crashing down on them.

The maids quietly retreated from the room, leaving the two of them alone again.

Ming Zhu sat on the soft couch, and when she saw that he still seemed angry, she softened her voice and said to him, “Don’t take your anger out on them.”

Zhao Zhi laughed coldly.

Ming Zhu had never wanted to harm others because of her own affairs, she added, “If you want to blame someone, blame me, it’s because I have a lot of schemes.”

“You do have a lot of schemes.” He replied.

Even he was unable to guard himself against her, when she softened her posture and looked at him with pitiful eyes, pretending, and begging him with a few words, he would agree to everything.

Zhao Zhi himself could not remember how many times he had been fooled by Ming Zhu’s innocent and pitiful appearance, and every time he was unable to withstand it, and every single time, he always fell for her trick.

She was really a very clever little liar, saying all the good words she could, she was able to thoroughly deceive him.

Zhao Zhi both loved and hated her, he absolutely loved her delicate candidness, but also hated her heartlessness.

The room turned quiet, and there was silence for a long while. Zhao Zhi finally remembered that he had to settle accounts with her. Lowering his head, he looked at her coldly, “Who gave you the medicine?”

Ming Zhu’s expression looked calm, “I bought it myself at the medicine shop.”

“Even now, you’re still lying to me.” Zhao Zhi, right in front of her, was blocking a major part of her field of vision. He said meaningfully, “Your third uncle really hates you.”

He had gotten up early to stop him in front of the palace gate. Mistakenly thinking that she was cheating on him, he was itching to denounce her. But his mistake made him do a good thing.

Ming Zhu froze, her lips turned white, and she opened her mouth, powerlessly, “My third uncle?”
