Chapter 153: Escaping from marriage at midnight
Ji Yunxie noticed that Di Ran's eyes were somewhat dangerous. He was so scared that he covered his lips, stared at her vigilantly, and accused her.
"rogue!"
Di Ran curled her red lips slightly, leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.
"You are just a rogue wife."
Ji Yunxie was stunned, shocked by Di Ran’s shamelessness.
After she came to her senses, she covered her face that was kissed and pointed at Di Ran tremblingly, feeling embarrassed and angry.
“You…you are shameless!
"Bah~"
Ji Yunxie: “…”
After a long time, the curses faded away in the silent night.
"You bastard~"
"Okay, okay, I'm a bastard, and my wife won't be angry."
"Who is the daughter-in-law? Shameless~"
"You are my wife~"
"No~"
The night was dark and silent.
The shadows of the trees are winding and dense, and the leaves are rustling in the night wind.
Prince Zhan's Palace, back garden.
A dark shadow was tiptoeing around the courtyard, and he seemed to be carrying a bag.
The man quietly avoided the guards and servants on night patrol and came to the back door in the dark.
Under the moonlight, the person turned around, and his gentle and graceful face was particularly familiar.
It was Ji Ze, the second son of Prince Zhan’s Mansion!
The imperial edict ordered him to fulfill his engagement with Pei Yu, but Pei Yu died at this juncture.
She thought she was lucky enough not to have to marry him, but she didn't expect that King Beichen would not give in. She had to marry a dead person!
How could he accept that his best years would be wasted on a dead person?
Ji Ze was unwilling to accept this, so he thought of escaping the marriage.
After all, if he married into the Pei family, he would be known as the young master of the Pei family, a title he would never be able to get rid of for the rest of his life.
If I run away, maybe the Pei family will give up on me.
As for my father's wife, with my mother and my great-grandmother there, nothing should be wrong.
After all, the Queen Mother is the Queen's sister, so she should be fine. Thinking of this, Ji Ze tightened the package around him.
He gently opened the bolt and left Prince Zhan's mansion at night.
Ji Ze never imagined that his escape would change the fate of his father and his own destiny.
……
three days later
The Pei family went to marry Ji Ze, but found out that Ji Ze had run away. They were so angry that they reported the case to the empress.
royal palace, royal study
"Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for this old minister!"
Members of the Pei family were kneeling on the ground.
Pei Han, the leader, had gray hair due to the loss of his beloved daughter. He looked much older and exuded a depressed aura.
When the empress heard that Ji Ze disobeyed the order and escaped from the marriage, she slammed the table and stood up in anger.
"How ridiculous! Ji Ze is so bold! He actually dared to openly disobey the emperor's order. This is outrageous!"
"Pass on my order to seal off the entire city. Order Zhao Ting to lead his army to search for me! Make sure to find Ji Ze."
Pei Han raised his head slightly and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, is it inappropriate to make such a big fuss?"
After all, Ji Ze is the nephew of the empress, and it is a matter of reputation for the royal family, and it would not sound good if it were to get out.
The empress suppressed her anger and stared at Pei Han with narrowed eyes. Her eyes were dark and no emotion could be seen.
"What do you think, my dear?"
Pei Han lowered his head, concealed the gleam in his eyes, and spoke slowly.
"Your Majesty, why not announce to the public that the Second Young Master Ji has married my son? If you find him, that's great. If not, you can use the excuse of his death to avoid criticism from outsiders."
After all, there are always unexpected things. If people find out that Ji Ze has escaped from the marriage, the royal family will lose face.
Using the name of death from illness can also avoid future troubles. After all, no one can be sure whether Ji Ze will suddenly appear, and it will be troublesome if someone finds out.
If Ji Ze has "died of illness", then if he appears among people again, people can make similar excuses, and even if someone has doubts, they dare not say anything.
The empress thought about it and felt that Pei Han's idea was feasible, so she agreed.
"Then do as you wish, my Lord!"
