CH 148

A few days after, Ming Zhu did not have a good appetite, so she used this excuse to ask to go outside to have a breath of fresh air.

Zhao Zhi couldn’t accompany her because he was busy. Before going out, he tied her belt himself, tidied up her hair, the tone he used when he spoke was very dull, “Don’t go where you shouldn’t go, I won’t say anything else, you should know in your heart.”

His dull tone made people dare not give birth to other thoughts, it was an innate bearing that made other people submit to him.

Ming Zhu was angry, but she couldn’t say anything else but yes.

At this critical juncture, she didn’t need to get angry with him. After a few days, the two of them would go on separate paths, and to each one his own. During this lifetime, she would never let him know that she was still alive.

The number of times Ming Zhu went outside wasn’t many, but every time she would always meet some familiar people.

Song Huaiqing was out with his little sister to shop. He did not expect to see Ming Zhu at the door of the clothes store. He had not seen her for quite some time, the little lady still looked soft and gentle, but her white and moist cheeks really became much plumper, making one feel the urge to pinch her fleshy cheeks just by looking at them.

Song Huaiqing still remembered that night where he hugged her waist, which was also soft.

He bowed his head slightly and greeted her: “Miss Ming Zhu.”

“Song gongzi.”

Ming Zhu replied perfunctorily and intended to leave immediately.

Song Huaiqing followed after her, “How come His Highness is letting you run outside on your own?”

According to his knowledge, Ming Zhu had tried to run away secretly more than once or twice. Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhi wasn’t worried about letting her go out like that.

Ming Zhu did not have any good feelings towards Song Huaiqing, the man in front of her was a scheming man whose belly was full of foul water, he just looked like a gentleman on the surface.

“His Highness is considerate towards me.”

“So, it’s like this.” Song Huaiqing’s sister caught up, “Big brother, why did you leave me and run away?!”

Song Huaiqing smiled at his sister, “You’re annoyed with me, you’re the one who wanted me to go away, isn’t it so?”

Song Huaiqing’s sister was most afraid of her big brother’s smile, she would have preferred if his usual cold face had actually turned taut instead. She took a look at the woman in front of her big brother and very quickly adapted to the situation, “It is ah.”

Ming Zhu and Song Huaiqing exchanged a few words and then she hurried back into the carriage. Resting against the pillow for a moment, her stomach was feeling a bit uncomfortable as she said, “Biying, let’s go back.”

It just so happened that Biying wanted to persuade her to go back as well, so she hurriedly ordered the coachman to send the miss back to the crown prince’s residence.

After Zhao Zhi came back, it was unsure who had told him about her encounter with Song Huaiqing, but he was a little upset, he pulled her wrist, while his gaze, as if something was the matter, stopped on her belly. He said coldly, “Stay away from him in the future.”

Ming Zhu knew that Zhao Zhi had a natural hostility towards the men who appeared around her. He saw her as an object, a plaything to be exact. This was possessiveness, but it was not love.

Her wrist hurt a little from being squeezed by him, and she said, “He was the one who wanted to talk to me, it wasn’t me who took the initiative to provoke him.”

“You don’t need to pay him any attention.”

“That’s being uneducated.”

“No one would dare gossip about you.”

Indeed no one would dare say it to her face, they would all talk behind her back.

Zhao Zhi’s gaze looked at her belly, which was actually already somewhat visible, it just was not too obvious yet, and Ming Zhu thought it was because she had eaten too much recently and had gained weight.

Up until this very evening. She saw blood coming from her lower body, she herself was not frightened, on the contrary, Zhao Zhi’s face turned white, his voice sounded calm, but at closer look, the hands in his sleeves were shaking, “Call the doctor.”

The maidservant on night duty outside did not hear clearly.

Zhao Zhi said furiously, “I told you to go call the doctor!”

Ming Zhu was startled by his thunderous and raging appearance, she used the quilt to cover her lower body, while she sighed in relief in her heart, “Your Highness, it’s probably my periods coming.”

Zhao Zhi held her hand tightly and pursed his lips, without saying a word.

The doctor soon came over to check her pulse. Ming Zhu still felt that they were making a mountain out of nothing.

“Your Highness, Miss Ming’s body foundation is weak, and she has taken too many fierce and cold medicines before, so she hurt her foundation, that’s why she’s bleeding, whether she can keep this child or not, it still depends on the will of heaven.” The doctor didn’t dare to look up at His Highness’s face after saying this, and continued with his head buried: “However, if this baby can’t be saved, Miss Ming only needs to recuperate for a few years, and she can still conceive a child again in the future.”

Zhao Zhi’s hands were ice-cold, “You go and prepare the medicine.”

“Yes.”

Ming Zhu heard her brain buzzing, she… when did she get pregnant with a child?!
