After what Hua Nanyi told him, Chu Yun was in a daze all through being dressed in the Zui wedding robes. He didn't even flinch as the servants combed his hair into place.
He had been very shortsighted to think the wedding itself would be the beginning and the end of all his troubles. There were certain expectations that came with being married to a member of the royal family, even if Xiao Zai wasn't the crown prince.
Chu Yun had been a fool to think that just because he and Xiao Zai would have their own residence outside the palace that meant that the palace schemes wouldn't get to them.
As a strategist, he should know better than to underestimate the scope of a battle.
A group of stony faced servants led him into the main hall, where the ceremony would be held. The red veil bathed everything in red and made it so Chu Yun could not distinguish where he was going.
