His Rui

Chapter 64 – The Shameless Zhao Zhang Wei

After returning from the Imperial Court, Zhao Zhang Wei stayed in his study room for a long time. He asked Eunuch Zhang not to disturb him for anything unless it was something related to Wangfei.

Four hours had already ended since Eunuch Zhang was guarding the doors of the study room.

He sighed heavily when he saw three blurry figures coming towards him from the distance. As they approached he composed his expression and put a fake smile on his lips.

"Eunuch Zhang, Is Wangye still inside the study room?"

Concubine Shaolin asked with a frown on her forehead when she the young Eunuch standing on her way in front of the doors. It was already the third time she had come to visit Wangye but this Eunuch was not letting her inside saying that the Prince had specially asked not to disturb him.

"This servant has to disappoint Concubine Shaolin but yes, the prince is still inside the study room."

Just then a maid came running to Eunuch Zhang and said

"Not good. Eunuch Zhang Wangfei fainted suddenly."

Eunuch Zhang's eyes widened and he immediately turned around and opened the doors of the study room.

Concubine Shaolin who was about to scold the maid to come here instead of calling a physician watched Eunuch Zhang going inside the study room.

Soon after she saw a young, handsome, and manly man hurrying outside the room followed by Eunuch Zhang.

The young and handsome man was none other than the Second Prince, Zhao Zhang Wei.

Her heart jumped in joy seeing the prince. She looked down at her dress and smoothened the non-existent creases.

With a bright smile on her lips, she stepped forward and stood in front of Zhao Zhang Wei who was asking the maid if the Imperial Physician has been called or not.

"Wangye must be tired. This Concubine has prepared the most notorious soup of her tribe. It is very…"

As Concubine Shaolin enthusiastically described she didn't see Zhao Zhang Wei's cold face.

"Who are you? Living inside the Imperial Palace and still unknown to rules and manners."

The words filled with displeasure shocked Shaolin. No one has ever behaved with her like this in her life.

In a daze, she saw the second Prince walking away with the maid and Eunuch Zhang to Lantai Courtyard.

Watching the disappearing back, envy and hatred flashed in her eyes.

'It was all because of that Yi Huiqing or Wangye would have never behaved with me like this.'

——————

Zhao Zhang Wei entered Yi Huiqing's room and saw a young physician taking her pulse. He frowned in dissatisfaction as he remembered the Imperial Physician Sun and asked the maid.

"Why didn't you called for a senior Physician?"

Before the asked maid could reply, Yi Huiqing's personal maidservant who had red and swollen eyes stepped forward and said

"Wangye, this servant asked for an old Physician but was told that every senior Physician is in Delan Courtyard because Crown Prince's Wangfei has cold."

Lin Daiyu's eyes reflected the anger she was feeling inside her heart.

She stepped back frightened when she saw the Prince kicking the nearby table furiously. But this was the only thing Zhao Zhang Wei could do despite the erupting anger inside himself. 

When he saw Yi Huiqing's pale face, his fists clenched and his lips pressed in a thin line.

The Physician stood up and bowed seeing the Second Prince.

"This servant gr…"

Interrupting his greeting, Zhao Zhang Wei asked him

"How is my Wangfei?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, Wangfei's condition is not well. Wangfei's body just recovered from the miscarriage damages.  According to this servant if Wangfei didn't eat or drink anything like this, then it may cause sudden deat…"

"This Prince dares you to complete your word."

Seeing the cold eyes of the Prince, the old physician felt his back drenched in sweat and kneeled on the floor.

"This servant apologizes that he misspoke. If Wangfei eats something after waking up then there would not be any problem with Wangfei."

Zhao Zhang Wei nodded and asked Eunuch Zhang to make arrangements for the Physician's stay inside Xinhe Palace.

The Physician left after prescribing some medicinal herbs.

"Leave."

The maids exited the room one by one hearing the prince's order.

Sitting beside Yi Huiqing, he held her hand in his own. Her weak and pale face was making him feel scared after he had heard the physician's words.

In the deepest part of his heart, his consciousness suddenly questioned him.

'Was she also like this after she lost her child?'

Zhao Zhang Wei felt very uncomfortable when he thought about this.

He felt a movement in the hand which was held in his own and abruptly raised his head. The woman lying on the head was looking at him in confusion. He felt her withdrawing her hand and reflexively tightened his hold to stop her. 

And then he shouted for the maids to bring the meal inside.

Yi Huiqing who was still in confusion felt someone gently lifting her upper body.

Resting her back against his chest, Zhao Zhang Wei held her waist with one hand and picked the spoon filled with porridge from the maid's hands with his other hand.

The dry lips remained closed as he brought the spoon towards her lips so he whispered gently in her ear as if coaxing a child.

"Qingqing, eat a little bit, okay?"

The maid saw this and blushed to see the prince behaving so gently with Wangfei.

However, Yi Huiqing was now remembering everything. Her younger brother's disappearance, the Emperor's order. Her heart was in pain as she closed her eyes and leaned more on whatever she was leaning. She just wanted to sleep and forget everything because she can't do anything else. She was useless.

So when she heard the gentle voice it didn't affect her at all.

"I don't have any appetite."

Zhao Zhang Wei perhaps had expected her resistance so his attitude was still very soft but his eyes were filled with a little anger.

"Very well."

"Put this here and leave the room." He told the maid.

As soon as the doors were closed, he drank some porridge from the bowl and turned the sleeping woman in his arms towards himself.

Pinching her chin to open her mouth, he pressed his lips on her and passed the whole porridge in her mouth.

Even after that, he didn't remove his lips and made her swallow everything leaving the woman in his arms breathless.

When he leaned back a little to see her face, he smirked and asked

"So My Wangfei, how does it taste?"

After that, he also wiped the corner of her lips with his thumb and put it inside her mouth.

"I think it is the best porridge I have ever eat."

While Yi Huiqing who was wide awake now glared at him.

"You shameless man."
