◎ “I’m waiting for the day when he regrets it.”◎
An Jiu slept until Ming Yi finished the banquet, sent off the guests, and opened the door of the bridal chamber.
Mingyi was getting married on behalf of his father, so he only needed to pick up the veil. As for drinking the wedding wine, he was skipped, which was really too much.
The young prince drank a belly full of wine. This was not his wedding banquet, but he seemed to be drunk and in a trance he thought he was the groom getting married.
He was in charge of all the procedures. He was the one who picked up the bride and sent her to the bridal chamber personally. Now he was asked to lift her veil and see her face full of red makeup.
Whenever he thought of this, Mingyi couldn't contain his excitement and drank one cup after another.
The result of drinking like this was that he was really drunk.
I was so drunk that I had unlimited courage and wanted to do something.
Ming Yi had thought about this before. The marriage between the An family and the royal palace was just a marriage alliance. So why couldn't Miss An marry him?
His father had not returned for a long time, and he was asked to get married on his behalf, perhaps this was his intention.
Miss An didn't like her father and she even ran away from her marriage because of this, which shows that she was definitely not willing to do this.
Most importantly, he had heard the rumors circulating in the city recently, which said that Miss An and he had had an affair. When Mingyi was awake, he only dared to think about it, but now that he was drunk, he couldn't help but take it seriously.
Maybe she agreed to marry him just because she liked him?
It was with this kind of mood and great courage that Mingyi pushed open the door.
He thought he would see a beautiful lady in red sitting on the wedding bed beside a red candle. When he lifted the red cloth, she would shyly lower her head, revealing a beautiful little face.
But it was all just his imagination.
There are red candles and a wedding bed in the bridal room, but there is no bride waiting for the groom by the bed.
Mingyi sobered up all of a sudden, and his dizzy mind instantly became clear.
He took two steps forward. Perhaps seeing his changed expression, Ji Xiang, who was driven out to guard the door, explained, "Prince, my lady said she was tired from waiting, so she went to sleep first. After all, you are my stepson, so you should pay attention to your reputation. If there is nothing else, don't lift the veil, and go and rest."
At this time, Mingyi had noticed that there seemed to be a person lying on the bright red wedding bed. There was a small hill bulging out, which was blocked by the hanging bed curtains. He could only vaguely see a vague shadow.
There were dried fruits scattered all over the ground under the bed, such as dates, longans, lotus seeds, peanuts, etc. They were probably shaken off the bed and rolled all over the floor of the room. One longan even rolled to the door.
Eighty percent of the courage brought by drunkenness had dissipated, leaving only two points. He asked somewhat unwillingly: "Is this, is this against etiquette?"
Ji Xiang said quickly: "What's wrong with this? Letting you in is really against etiquette!"
Ji Xiang deeply hated the messy rumors in the city, which really ruined the reputation of her own lady. She even suspected that they were spread by the Prince Ming. After all, he liked the lady and his expression was very clear.
After a pause, Yoshika continued, "Prince, my lady said that I hope you will not forget what you said."
What did the lady not say? Yoshika guessed it was probably something unpleasant.
Otherwise, why did the prince's originally red face turn pale when he heard it?
As soon as these words came out, Ming Yi's drunkenness disappeared completely, and he became extremely sober. He raised his hand to rub his face and said helplessly: "Yes, I won't forget. Sorry, I offended you just now."
After saying this, he bent down slightly, picked up the longan at his feet, and walked out with a pale face.
He was really confused just now. How could he have a chance? Miss An obviously liked Doctor Pei. How could he think that she liked him?
Although his heart was filled with sadness, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still had to force a smile as he prepared a carriage for his sweetheart and personally sent her away from the palace to join his rival, Doctor Pei.
Yoshika looked at the staggering figure of the Crown Prince in a strange way, and asked kindly, "Prince, are you drunk?"
Ming Yi waved his hands back and said, "No, I'm sober."
Only with such clarity can he taste the bitterness of a broken heart.
Mingyi left with a broken heart, but Anjiu was awakened by the noise of his conversation with Jixiang. He opened his eyes in a daze and climbed out of bed.
Yoshika heard the noise and hurried over to help her up.
"Miss, I just saw that you were sweating from your sleep, so I cleaned you up. Do you want to take a bath and change clothes before going to rest?" As she spoke, Ji Xiang said, "This weather is really hot. Even if there is an ice pot in the room, it won't dissipate much of the heat, and you are so afraid of heat. If the wedding is postponed a little, until autumn, you won't have to go through so much trouble."
An Jiu took the herbal tea she handed him and drank it all in one gulp, and the thirst in his throat was relieved a little.
She wiped her mouth and handed over the empty cup: "Yi Xiang, another one."
Yoshika: "Are you thirsty, Miss?"
An Jiu nodded, said nothing, and drank another large glass of water.
There was no way. She cried and sweated today, and lost too much water, so her body was a little dehydrated. When she woke up, her throat was almost smoking.
"Call for some water so I can take a shower and change clothes."
The naive little maid thought that her hair was wet because she couldn't stand the heat, so she helped her wipe the sweat from her face, neck and arms, but she didn't know that there were other places that needed to be cleaned as well.
Thinking of this, An Jiu's face couldn't help but become ferocious.
She will remember this grudge today!
The efficiency of the palace was amazing. Soon the bathtub and hot water were brought in. An Jiu drove everyone out and took a bath himself. He finally felt refreshed.
Of course, she also checked it briefly and found that there was no injury. Pei Ji still knew his limits and just rubbed against it outside.
After changing out of the heavy wedding dress and putting on her own simple everyday clothes, An Jiu waited quietly in the room.
What are you waiting for?
Of course, it’s not waiting for one quarter past midnight, but waiting for Mingyi to come.
She discussed leaving the house with Ming Yi, but Pei Ji didn't know about it.
With An Jiu's personality, she is not the kind of person who will immediately obey when threatened. So she still has to escape this marriage.
The eldest daughter has such a temper, sharp, prickly and aggressive. She has never been an obedient daughter of the boudoir, nor is she an ordinary weak girl. Most women would have resigned themselves to their fate if faced with such threats, but she still has to fight.
Even if she is a powerless ant, she will never admit defeat.
Time passed by little by little. After an unknown amount of time, there was finally a knock on the door. It was still half an hour before midnight.
That is eleven o'clock at night.
People in ancient times rested at sunset and went to bed as soon as it got dark. Eleven o'clock in the evening was already late at night. The entire palace was silent. Even Ji Xiang, who insisted on staying up all night, fell asleep after An Jiu's persuasion.
An Jiu quietly opened the door and saw Ming Yi standing outside the door stealthily. He said in a low voice: "The carriage is ready. It's at the corner gate. I'll take you there!"
Mingyi came here alone without anyone else, and Anjiu didn't want to take Jixiang away with him.
She knew very well that if she escaped this time, the final outcome would be that she would be captured by "Fei Yi" and taken back to Qiansha Pavilion.
So she alone is enough.
In order to avoid being discovered, the two walked in the palace in the dark.
When the wedding banquet was over, Mingyi instructed the guards in the palace to give them a day off for today's great celebration. At this moment, the huge palace was empty, with only the summer insects chirping in the dark.
An Jiu was not familiar with the environment of the palace, so Ming Yi led the way in front.
Because he didn't know whether Pei Ji would be waiting in the garden in advance, An Jiu specifically asked Ming Yi not to take the path through the garden.
Fortunately, we had no danger along the way and successfully arrived at the remote corner gate.
When I opened the door, I saw a small carriage outside. There was only a horse pulling the carriage and a coachman in black in front.
The night was hazy, the weather was good tonight, and the sparse starlight sprinkled down, allowing one to vaguely see that the man had an ordinary face.
Ming Yi whispered, "I won't send you off. Shuzhong is a long way from the capital, and you, a weak woman, might be in danger. I'll ask the Xuanyi Guards who are protecting me to send you there, and come back when you are safely in Yaowang Valley."
An Jiu did not refuse and said softly, "Thank you."
After a pause, she asked hesitantly, "If your father asks..."
She had escaped from a marriage before, which was already a slap in the face of King Ming. Now that she has married and is still running away this time, the cooperation between Minister An and King Ming is bound to be damaged.
Ming Yi said: "I will tell my father that you were kidnapped by thieves."
As to whether the Ming King believed it or not, it is unknown.
An Jiu felt that it was okay not to explain, and just let their cooperation break down. It was not a good sign that Minister An was involved with Prince Ming. It was obvious that they were treacherous ministers and traitors who were going to be dealt with.
This thought flashed through An Jiu's mind, but he didn't say anything.
Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with her, and her life is in danger, so she has no time to care about others.
Respect the fate of others and let go of the desire to help others.
Amen.
An Jiu got into the carriage. In order not to attract attention, the carriage was very simple. There was only a wooden board to sit on inside. It was shaky when moving, making people uncomfortable.
The carriage swayed out of the inner city and arrived at the city gate, which was already closed.
The black-clothed guard driving the carriage in front handed something to the soldier guarding the city gate. The soldier took a look and the city gate opened quietly again.
An Jiu lifted the curtain and looked out. He saw the carriage slowly driving out of the city gate and heading towards the dark night. His expression finally felt a little relieved.
The tense body relaxed slightly, An Jiu leaned back against the car wall and poked the system: "System, show me what Pei Ji is doing now."
The next second, the projected image appeared before my eyes. Because it was night, the image was illuminated with night light for easier viewing.
In the picture, the palace garden is quiet and a man is standing under a plum tree, his body as tall and straight as a bamboo.
He had no idea of An Jiu's whereabouts.
Looking at him waiting unconsciously, An Jiu couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes curved.
Just wait, I guarantee that he won’t see anyone even until dawn.
The system then asked: [Since the host is ready to be captured, why do you need to do this? ]
The system couldn't understand many of Anjiu's actions.
For example, this escape seemed unnecessary.
He was going to be caught anyway, and the host knew this a long time ago. He should have just followed him obediently, but Anjiu did this.
The system can almost predict that once the target discovers the host, he will be severely tortured again.
Isn't this just asking for trouble and reaping what you sow?
Hearing the system's question, An Jiu smiled and answered in his heart: "This is not a useless effort. Don't just look at the surface of the event, you have to look at its final consequences."
"Even though running away is useless, Pei Ji will be angry. Anger will make him lose his mind and treat me even more cruelly. When he falls in love with me completely, all the things he has done in the past will become knives stabbing himself."
"How he treats me now, he will regret it when he finds out everything in the future."
"I'm waiting for the day when he regrets it."
The girl said this in her heart, and in the thick night, her dark eyes were as clear as water.
