"Wuu.... I feel so uncomfortable"
As soon as Zhao Yan opened his eyes, he instantly found out that he was not in his ward anymore. He's currently sitting in a place that seemed to quake all the time, and there was also a cloth over his face which made him feel really uncomfortable.
Removing the cloth off his head, what his eyes immediately met was a dazzling red.... palanquin.
As in those palanquins he usually saw from TV, and he's currently sitting inside it.
"Am I seeing things right?"
Enduring his discomfort, he lifted his hand and touched the red door in front of him with incredulity, and felt that the door was a wood, only then he finally believed that everything is indeed real.
He immediately came back to his senses as soon as he finished touching the door. Just how did he get here? Wasn't he supposed to be sleeping back in his ward?
At this time, the palanquin seemed to stop moving.
He saw the curtain in front of him being lifted, then came a smiling middle-aged woman wearing red robes, but then her face instantly shifted as soon as she landed her eyes on him: "Young Master Zhao, what on earth are you doing? This veil is supposed to be lifted by your husband, how could you lift it on your own?"
As she talked, the woman grabbed the veil from his hold and was putting it back on his head again.
Zhao Yan had a step-mother who's been sucking his own blood and forcing all of the physical labor on him since childhood, and that if ever he dare to resist he would receive a harsh beating; as soon as the woman approached him, he immediately stiffened and did not move lest this woman would also beat him. After all, he didn't know what to do in this situation.
He was covered by the red veil once again. Looking down, he observed the appearance of his hands and saw that the fingers looked really fair, soft, and slender. Only then he realized that his hands were absolutely not his, because they looked much prettier than his own.
Also, this veil, and the husband thing.
Connecting all these words, wouldn't it mean that he was about to get married?
But since his step-mother loathed him to the point of squeezing him dry, there's no way she would allow him to have the opportunity to get married. Moreover, he even had worn an embroidered red wedding dress with wide sleeves.
Similarly to that woman just now who's wearing.... a non-modern dress.
Facing such a strange environment, Zhao Yan instantly shrank back in fear, until he suddenly heard the woman say: "Young Master Zhao, this slave will have to repeat this to you once again. This marriage is appointed by the Emperor himself, hence you definitely mustn't rebel this time. Otherwise, this slave guarantees to you that you will never see your future again"
The so-called Young Master Zhao: "Appointed by the Emperor?"
Somehow, this situation seemed so familiar. Like the scene from a novel that he read before he went to bed last night.
Zhao Yan found this really unendurable, then confirmed in fear: "T-Then am I, am I about to marry the banished Prince?...."
"Impudent!"
"How could you, a son of a minor palace official, dare to comment about the first Prince's status?"
Zhao Yan quickly jolted from surprise before he hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to say a word anymore.
The woman coldly snorted, then tossed him the water sack: "You better take note of your own status first before you say anything"
"I-I understand.... "
Zhao Yan's tears consecutively dropped onto the water sack that he's holding.
It may be difficult for Zhao Yan to believe it, but..... he's already here.
Yesterday, he clearly recalled how he had been reading the life of Zhao Yan in the book. He was pampered by his parents and valued by his friends. This caused Zhao Yan to feel so envious of him that he badly wished to become the Zhao Yan from the book and experience the same feeling of being doted on by his own parents
At that time, he couldn't help but say: "How I wish I was the Zhao Yan from the book.."
Unfortunately, the young woman laying down on the hospital bed next to him immediately woke up to her senses in a second: "Then sad for you, because the Zhao Yan in this book is a Ger, and he had a very miserable ending. Read here at Chapter 24. After marrying, he was immediately killed by his own fiancé. His death was already planned to begin with, and that was when he just got married to the family. How pitiful...."
Zhao Yan read Chapter 24, and after finishing it, he wrapped his whole body with the quilt and cried for a long time. He just couldn't understand why Young Master Zhao received this kind of ending just as soon as he got married when he never did anything bad.
He wept until he finally fell asleep, only to actually wake up as the Zhao Yan from the book.
How to say this... has God taken pity on him, or is God simply playing with him?
But Zhao Yan is unwilling. He doesn't want to die in such a humiliating way.
Because according to the plot in the book, as soon as they cross the mountain, they will be plundered.
The troops who would originally send him to the bridegroom's home will not take him to the banished Prince, but instead, they will personally take him out of the mountain and send him to the location where the troops had agreed with the bandits to meet.
That's why he really mustn't sit still here and just wait for his death. He needs to escape this place.
As he thought of this, Zhao Yan firmly held the water sack then removed the veil off his head, before he lifted the hanging screens and secretly looked out.
He saw that everyone was already gathered together, drinking and eating, and even the woman from recently was already gone to Heaven knows where.
No one took notice of him.
Taking advantage of this, Zhao Yan stealthily left the palanquin, lifted his wedding dress, and silently ran to the woods from the side.
