Lychees

Verdant Green Maiden had no intention of kicking her when she was down.

Either way, she had nothing to lose.

Nor did she intend to have anything further to do with Yang Yuhuan.

After tossing out those words, Verdant Green Maiden ignored Yang Yuhuan and turned to leave with Li Bai.

Yang Yuhuan stood where she was, speechless for a long while.

After a while, Yang Xuanjiao emerged from the palace halls.

Seeing Yang Yuhuan standing there with a complicated expression, he could not help frowning. "Yuhuan... what's wrong? Why do you look so downcast?"

"Nothing... nothing."

Yang Yuhuan shook her head.

Looking at Yang Xuanjiao, she asked, "Third Uncle, why did you come out so late?"

"Oh! Gao Lishi came looking for me just now!"

Yang Xuanjiao said.

"Gao Lishi?"

At this, Yang Yuhuan frowned even more deeply.

"Isn't he the Sage's attendant?"

"Why was he looking for Third Uncle?"

"Could it be..."

Yang Yuhuan suddenly realized something.

Hearing this, Yang Xuanjiao laughed and continued, "That's right. He said that in a few days, the Sage will welcome you into the palace with a grand ceremony. By then, you'll be the Sage's consort! Yuhuan, I know you feel guilty toward that woman, but don't think so much about it now!"

"You'll be the future imperial consort of Great Tang!"

"She's merely some wild woman from the mountains."

Yang Yuhuan's gaze was complicated.

A wild woman from the mountains?

Most likely not.

Forget it.

Whatever Verdant Green Maiden's identity was, it had nothing to do with her anymore.

After leaving the palace, Verdant Green Maiden raised her head to gaze at the moonlight.

"Taibai!"

"I'm here."

Li Bai answered.

"How long do you plan to stay in Chang'an?"

"Hm?"

Li Bai froze.

He looked at Verdant Green Maiden in confusion
