Chapter 78: A Dejected Prince with a Cold Outside and Tender Inside (34)
Translator: asassin
The young eunuch who has brought her meals when she was in the cold palace occurs to her instantly.
She has told Zhao Yin about him but Zhao Yin couldn’t figure out who sent him either.
Ah Zhao tells Prince Beiding about the young eunuch.
Prince Beiding’s expression changes: “Did you mean the meals were made specially for you?”
Ah Zhao nods.
Prince Beiding seems to have an answer in his mind but he isn’t sure about it.
“Well, you can go to the palace and check on Prince Yan and get back at once after that.”
Ah Zhao thinks about it and understands what Prince Beiding means: “Papa, do you want to let the world think that Prince Beiding’s Manor breaks with Prince Yan?”
Prince Beiding snorts slightly: “I’d rather it’s true.”
That fellow Zhao Yin is in no way a good match for his good daughter.
Seeing her father like that, Ah Zhao has no choice but to smile apologetically with her hand tugging at his sleeve.
She has changed into a new set of clothes in no time and sets out to the palace.
In the Palace of Heaven and Earth, Emperor Huizong is scolding those imperial doctors with a frown.
Seeing Ah Zhao, he raises his eyebrows: “How come Qin Zhen agrees to let you come here?”
Ah Zhao: “…”
She calls the emperor “father” in a low voice.
Emperor Huizong waves his hand: “Prince Yan is inside.”
Ah Zhao doesn’t speak anything else. She bends down and pays the emperor respect then goes inside quickly.
Seeing her in such a hurry, Emperor Huizong can’t help his ego and thinks to himself: well, Qin Zhen, no matter how good your daughter is, she is part of Zhao Family.
Ah Zhao rushes into the inner chamber and the man who is lying in the bed comes into her sight.
In less than a few days, he looks like he has lost a lot of weight.
Looking at him, Ah Zhao suddenly becomes quiet upset out of nowhere.
She walks to the bed in a few steps.
Eunuch An who is serving in the inner chamber sees her and waves all the servants away.
Ah Zhao sits down by the edge of the bed and looks at the man who is still in a coma, his face pale.
“Zhao Yin.” She calls him softly.
There is no response from the man that’s lying in the bed.
Usually, he would have come to her for hugs and kisses with a smile by then.
Ah Zhao reaches her hands under the quilt. She finds his hand and takes it into hers.
“You’ve said that you would come for me in Prince Beiding’s Manor. If you are not quick enough, papa would ask His Majesty for a divorce between us.”
His finger moves in her grip.
Ah Zhao is surprised.
“Doctor!” She shouts out loud with her eyes unblinkingly fixed on Zhao Yin.
The man in the bed slowly opens his eyes out of her expectation.
He seems to have lost his strength but his eyes are kept on Ah Zhao.
“No divorce.”
Ah Zhao’s heart aches.
She holds Zhao Yin’s hand then bends down and leaves a light kiss by the corner of his lips.
“As long as you be good and recover soon, I will not divorce you.”
“Hum.” The first thing Emperor Huizong who comes as soon as he has heard Ah Zhao’s shout sees is his daughter-in-law voluntarily kisses his son and he couldn’t help but signal his arrival.
Ah Zhao turns around and looks at him a little unhappily.
Meanwhile, Zhao Yin, who is lying weakly in the bed also gives his father a disagreeing glance.
Emperor Huizong: “…”
He suddenly feels wounded.
But since Zhao Yin regains consciousness, Ah Zhao recalls her previous conversation with Prince Beiding.
She stands up and bends down to show her respect for Emperor Huizong: “Father, I’m heading back.”
Emperor Huizong nods.
Seeing that his son looks at Qin Zhao eagerly, he scolds him wishing that he could become stronger: “What are you still looking at? Get your princess back from Prince Beiding’s Manor once you recover.”
And drive Qin Zhen mad, which he doesn’t speak out loud.
