White tea legend

Chapter 192: Trouble Begins with Lychee
The twenty-first prince hurried through the flowery imperial garden. His steps were messy and hasty, and his clothes were fluttering in the breeze. His brows were furrowed, and there was an imperceptible anxiety on his lips. He originally just wanted to give the fresh lychees from Lingnan to Princess Shou as a token of friendship between brothers, but he did not expect that it would lead to misunderstandings and disputes between the eighteenth brother and eighteenth sister-in-law.

And the basket of fresh and tender lychees he sent became the trigger.

King Shou was already suspicious and always felt that Princess Shou had second thoughts, but the twenty-one prince sent lychees, which made the object of suspicion in King Shou's mind concrete. He was immediately furious and lost all reason for a moment.

At that time, Princess Shou was sitting leisurely on the carved couch, holding a jade bowl in her hand, which contained fresh lychees sent by the twenty-first prince.

These lychees have thin skin and thick flesh, are as red as fire, and exude an alluring sweet aroma. Princess Shou gently opened a lychee, revealing the crystal clear pulp, which seemed to be condensed with nectar. She put the pulp into her mouth. The sweetness and slight sourness were perfectly blended, and she sighed with satisfaction.

Since she came to Huaqing Palace to escape the summer heat, although she played polo every now and then, which made Princess Shou the limelight, Princess Shou's mood became more and more depressed, and her relationship with Prince Shou became more and more tense.

After tasting the lychees sent by the twenty-first prince, Princess Shou's depressed mood was finally relieved by the sweetness of the lychees.

"Thank you, brother twenty-one."

The twenty-first prince hurriedly waved his hand: "Sister-in-law eighteen, eat as many as you like. Don't keep lychees for a long time. They will spoil easily after a long time..."

Just as Princess Shou was about to taste the second lychee, she suddenly heard slight footsteps coming from outside. It turned out that King Shou would return from unknown time, and he couldn't hide the look of exhaustion on his brows. When he saw that the princess was enjoying the gifts from the twenty-first prince alone, his face suddenly became unhappy.

"This lychee was specially given to Princess Shou by Brother Twenty-One?" There was a hint of inexplicable sarcasm in Prince Shou's tone.

The twenty-first prince hurriedly explained to King Shou: "Brother 18, are you back? I specially sent it to Brother 18 and Sister-in-law 18. Unexpectedly, Brother 18 was not around, so I asked Sister-in-law 18 to taste it first. ”

Princess Shou put down the lychee in her hand and replied softly: "Yes, I have tried it for the prince. This lychee tastes so good. The prince should come and have a taste. Don't let the twenty-first brother down."

"What are your thoughts for the twenty-first brother? For whom? For the eighteenth sister-in-law?" King Shou said in a strange tone.

The twenty-first prince frowned and was about to defend something, but unexpectedly Princess Shou stood up and said: "Your Highness, there is no need to worry. The twenty-first brother is also out of respect for the prince. After all, you two have the same ancestry and the same father." My mother, if the prince is angry and wants to quarrel with me, he should wait until the twenty-first brother leaves. The twenty-first brother is a guest, so it would be disrespectful for you to do anything in front of him. "

When King Shou heard this, his face suddenly darkened.

"Are you feeling sorry for Brother Twenty-One? Whose princess are you?"

"The prince is getting more and more outrageous..."

"I will quarrel with you in front of the twenty-first brother, and I will beat you in front of the twenty-first brother..."

King Shou was so excited that he accidentally knocked over the blue and white porcelain vase while waving his hand. There was a crisp sound and the vase shattered like ice. The fragments were scattered on the ground, like the fragmentation of their relationship.

Princess Shou hesitated to speak, but got angry and approached her step by step.

Prince Shou was so anxious that he waved the fragment in his hand unconsciously. Inadvertently, the sharp edge brushed against Princess Shou's delicate cheek.

The blood suddenly flowed slowly along her face, like a bright red tear, sad and beautiful. At that moment, King Shou's heart seemed to be cut with a wound, which was heartbreaking. He hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to comfort her, but was stopped by Princess Shou's cold gaze.

"You...how could you do this!" Her voice trembled, mixed with disbelief and anger.

King Shou froze on the spot, the broken porcelain pieces in his hands fell to the ground silently, and he finally realized what he had done. Guilt and regret flooded my mind, but everything was irreversible.

The palace maids heard the sound and rushed over. Seeing this scene, they hurriedly stepped forward to rescue him. The palace was in chaos. The imperial doctor urgently called in, but Princess Shou pushed everyone aside and rushed out regardless. "Go and bring the princess back!" The twenty-first prince's voice echoed, his face was pale, and there were beads of sweat on his palms.

The scene where the brother and sister-in-law were fighting just now really scared him. He didn't expect that his basket of lychees would cause such a big disturbance.

The palace people hurriedly ran out to look for the person, but King Shou stopped them: "Don't go! No one is allowed to go! It's not the first time she has run away from home! Let her go! Let her go!"

King Shou is their master. After hearing this, no one in the palace dared to go out to find Princess Shou.

The twenty-first prince had no choice but to run out to find Princess Shou.

King Shou paced back and forth in the palace, his mood as complicated as a mess. Intellectually, he knew that the relationship between Prince Twenty-one and Princess Shou was innocent, but his pride and jealousy prevented him from calming down.

He still held the broken vase in his hand, which was the tool he used to hurt his lover.

The Huaqing Palace at night is like a deep and beautiful picture, with the moonlight hazy and the stars sparse. In the quiet palace, only the occasional sound of guard patrols broke the tranquility. However, behind this tranquility, Yang Yunu was running like a headless fly. Her cheeks were already covered with blood, but she didn't seem to feel any pain.

As a princess, Yang Yunu has long been tired of the restricted life in this political marriage. The splendid palace walls are no more than a cage to her.

As she was running, the night wind blew through her hair, blowing her hot face with a hint of coolness. The feeling of freedom made her heart beat wildly. Although there was unknown darkness ahead, she felt that this darkness was more real than the light she had ever seen.

She staggered through the silent corridors and across the deep imperial gardens, each step stumbling and anxious. The beautiful scenery of Huaqing Palace was just a fleeting reflection in her eyes, and there was only one thought in her mind - escape.

"Freedom!" she shouted in her heart, as if this word had infinite power and could support her in escaping from the intertwined prison of money and power.

The twenty-first prince anxiously shuttled through the corners of the palace and tree-lined alleys, looking for the missing Princess Shou.

I saw the entire Huaqing Palace with moonlight like water, shining on the eaves of the exquisite palace. The shadows of the trees were dancing, and the chirping of cicadas occasionally broke the silence, but Princess Shou was nowhere to be seen.

Just as the twenty-first prince was anxiously looking for the trace of Princess Shou, a serious voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Who is there? Stop!"

It turned out that Chen Xuanli, who was on patrol, passed by with his guards.

The twenty-first prince was startled, turned around quickly, and forced a smile: "Oh, it's General Chen. I'm taking a walk here to enjoy the moonlight."

Chen Xuanli frowned slightly and his eyes were as sharp as a knife: "In the middle of the night, the prince is wandering here alone. Is there something unspeakable?"

The twenty-first prince's heartbeat quickened. He knew that Chen Xuanli was the saint's confidant. If he knew that Prince Shou and his wife had a quarrel or even a fight over his basket of lychees, if the news reached the saint, things would probably become complicated. It has a bad influence on him and King Shou.

Therefore, he did not dare to tell the truth and had to make up an excuse: "I... I just couldn't sleep and wanted to go for a walk alone."

Chen Xuanli examined the twenty-first prince for a moment, as if he wanted to find a flaw in his face, but in the end he did not say much, and just said: "It is late at night, my lord, please go to bed early. This place is close to the Palace of Eternal Life. If you are not summoned, Please visit again tomorrow.”

"I understand, thank you, General Chen, for reminding me." Prince Twenty-one remained calm on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil. He watched Chen Xuanli take the people away, and after the other party's figure disappeared into the night, he hurriedly continued to look for Princess Qi Shou.

However, as if the world has disappeared, Princess Shou has no other clues to find.
