While Yu Zhen was distracted and mingling with the guests, Li Xueyue was taken away.
"Careful," Lu Tianbi whispered as Li Xueyue nearly tripped over her long dress. She patiently walked beside the Princess with a guiding hand upon her elbow.
Several maidservants accompanied them, all of whom were suppressing smiles and whispers. There was an air of excitement amongst the women, except for Li Xueyue who was puzzled.
"Where are we going?" Li Xueyue asked as they turned a corner. She could be kidnapped for all she knew. But she doubted Lu Tianbi would do such a thing to Yu Zhen.
"You'll find out soon enough, Princess," Lu Tianbi stated as they slowly walked onward. It was custom in Hanjian for the bride to be led away as the groom stayed behind to entertain the guests.
