~End of chapter 48
Zhao Zhi leaned forward, his thin and strong finger bones caught her chin, forcing her to raise her small face.
Her face was soft and white, she looked both pretty and pitiful.
Zhao Zhi helplessly said, “I’ve only lectured you with two sentences, how come your eyes have already turned into those of a rabbit ?”
Ming Zhu shook her head and said, “I’m fine.”
Although she did feel very sad in her heart, she didn’t want to tell Zhao Zhi about it.
Was her status only despised by Xiangyang junzhu and those noble girls who were watching the show today ? Zhao Zhi was also the same.
Chapter 49
(17.3)
Zhao Zhi was silent for a few seconds and then whispered, “Lift up your skirt, I’ll take a look at your knees.”
Ming Zhu hugged her legs even closer, “It doesn’t hurt.”
Zhao Zhi fixedly looked at her for a while. Not believing what she said, he didn’t bother to talk to her further and just directly used his hands to pull her over and then lifted her skirt up to her knees.
The young girl’s calves were slim and tender white, but her knees had turned a deep red.
It was both red and swollen, and this part had already turned into a rather severe bruise.
Zhao Zhi’s eyes turned cold and he silently took out an ointment to promote blood circulation. He lowered his head and, with a focused and serious expression, smeared the medicine on her injury.
After he was done applying the medicine, Zhao Zhi told his personal guards outside the carriage, “Go to the other residence.”
The moment Ming Zhu heard this, she was immediately alarmed. If she went back to the other residence today, then all of her previous plans would fall through.
She subconsciously grabbed his arm, “Your Highness, send me back to the Ming mansion, okay ?”
Zhao Zhi was obviously unwilling.
Ming Zhu pulled up the corners of her mouth to smile at him, “I’ll come back after the Lantern Festival, in the future, I won’t go anywhere, I’ll only stick to you alone, Your Highness.”
Her tone was soft and her voice sweet, she looked absolutely charming and it was difficult to resist her.
Zhao Zhi covered her eyes with his hand, and then changed the instructions he gave his personal guards, he said, “Turn around to go to the Ming residence.”
He loved her watery, clean and bright eyes but he was also afraid to drown in them beyond his control.
Zhao Zhi didn’t care about other people’s gazes, thus when they arrived at the gate of the Ming residence, he personally carried her into her courtyard and put her on the bed. Until her knees recovered, she was not allowed to get down from the bed and walk.
After Zhao Zhi had placed her down, he turned around and left the room. Biying was already kneeling outside to beg for forgiveness.
Zhao Zhi was turning his back on her, quietly standing in the corridor under the bridge. After listening to Biying’s words, he said expressionless, “You retire and go receive punishment on your own, don’t let her know. There will be no next time.”
Biying wiped her tears, “This slave understands.”
Zhao Zhi stood outside for a long while. The thought of marrying her emerged again vaguely, but he suppressed that thought once again.
His heaviest feelings were all spent on Ming Zhu, because he could control her life without much effort, even if he didn’t marry her, she wouldn’t have the ability to leave him.
After a while, someone from the palace came to make a report. Earlier, Zhao Zhi didn’t have the time to ask, but now that he was free, there was plenty of time to settle accounts.
“What Sheng Ling did to her in the palace today, what she said to her, tell me all of it, without missing a single word, everything.”
The informant didn’t dare to miss a single detail, didn’t add anything to the story and only reported the truth as it was.
When Zhao Zhi heard the word “cheap concubine”, the expression on his face turned very ugly. Then, he also heard her that her mother’s identity was brought out to ridicule her, and the rage that he had just barely suppressed flared up again.
“What else?”
“The junzhu ordered miss Ming Zhu to perform a dance, and kicked the miss with quite some force.”
Zhao Zhi slowly raised his eyes, his gaze held a ruthlessness that had never been there before. What kind of thing was Sheng Ling to dare to humiliate her like this ?
Even when Ming Zhu had really made him furious, he couldn’t bear to even hurt her a little bit, but Sheng Ling actually dared to kick her?
Zhao Zhi slowly closed his eyes, before slowly opening them again, he said indifferently: “If it’s too late to intercept the marriage decree, then let’s forget it.”
The informant froze.
Zhao Zhi’s expression had returned to his usual one, and he sounded as gentle as he usually sounded, “Send another decree to cancel the marriage.”
First bestowing marriage.
Before cancelling the marriage closely after.
Letting Sheng Ling have a taste of what it was like to be humiliated was also a good thing.
His subordinates weren’t surprised.
Their master was protecting his weakness.
Perhaps the master himself hadn’t yet realized that miss Ming Zhu had become his reverse scale, no one could touch her, no one was allowed to touch her.
(TL’s note : a reverse scale is the sensitive spot of a dragon, if one touches that spot, the dragon will destroy that person.)
(18.1)
Zhao Zhi borrowed Ming Zhu’s desk, preparing the paper and the ink stone, he was holding a brush in his hand. His posture looked slim and graceful, straight and upright as the warm candlelight illuminated his face, who looked like a flawless, snow-white and delicate jade.
Not long after, Zhao Zhi was finished writing the document to cancel the marriage.
A gentle breeze swept over the paper, which gradually dried up the ink in just a short while.
Zhao Zhi stamped his seal on the marriage cancellation document and then ordered his trusted confidant to go, with the fastest horse, deliver the document to Xiangyang City.
Ming Zhu, already lying in bed, was quietly watching him and wondering what he was writing.
She silently clutched the covers, turned her back to him and then slowly closed her eyes to rest.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
