Chapter 3 - Chapter 3

" What! Yanhui had a crush on her cousin and had even thought of running away with him?" This news is shocking, but she gave up so easily on him, as soon as she heard the dog emperor had agreed to marry her and had set a date." what a superficial woman!, but now that you're dead I be the one to clean up your mess" Yanhui was depressed when she suddenly had an idea , she ran to the door banging, asking to see her father but was ignored. She finally gave up struggling and decided to preserve her strength for later.

 Later that evening, food was brought in for her to eat; it was a lavish spread of delicacies: Steamed fish, Braised abalone, Roasted duck, Lotus seed dessert and Bird's nest soup the former soul's favorite. Though she had never tasted this foods, she was eager to taste them and for a moment forgot her predicament, she picked up her chopsticks and started eating savoring each bite of the delicious spread 

" these nobles sure know how to enjoys life, the taste of this bird nest soup is refreshing though I won't eat it again after it's Bird's saliva "'.

After eating Yanhui decided that since escaping now was not possible now and even more impossible during the wedding procession, she had to treat the emperor kindly and try not to show her face to him in order to live a long and peace life " step 1 : avoid palace politics, Step 2 : pretend I'm dead and don't exist in the palace, lock myself in and go nowhere. Yeah, that's what I'll do, after all in all dramas I've watched, the empress is given the least attention by the emperor and is usually save if she doesn't cross the line" Having thought it through, she was finally at ease and walked up to the bed to sleep when she heard the lock being undone by the window. Yanhui quickly hid under the bed, she didn't want to deceive herself thinking she could fight by picking up an object to defend herself with, she knew she was weak and accepted it. The intruder was a male holding a box , he was tall and handsome with a sharp jawline " hui hui " he whispered, searching the room for her, looking through her memories, she found he was her second brother Yan Jun. She crawled from under the bed " I'm here" 

 Yan Jun looked at her in surprise and then burst into laugher " what are you doing under the bed? Hiding from what? Yourself?" He mocked. 

 " Curse you" she hissed. " Which normal person climbs through a lady's room at night?"

 " I had to, mother wouldn't let me visit" ruffling her hair as he said so.

 " Why are you here" Yanhui grumbled sitting down besides him on the round table.

 " I heard you went crazy and wanted to escape marriage , so mother knocked you up, allowing no one to visit" he replied setting up the table with pastries.

 " What are you doing?"

 " Bringing you your favorite pastries, what else? And let's be clear; I won't help you escape either do I support you escaping"

 Yanhui bowed her head in disappointed" if you won't help me, leave"

 "Okay, I agree, my work is done hui hui "he ruffled her hair with a big smile and left.

 " Wait , I asked you to leave and you're really leaving?!" she shouted after him in surprise but he was long gone and had even locked the window. " Dog brother, dog father, scheming mother, you're all leading me to my death" she cursed. Unfazed, she decided to go along with her two step plan. She laid down in bed thinking of how chaotic tomorrow is going to be as she drifted off to sleep
