"Who among you doesn't believe in the theory of immortality now?" Li Chunfeng looked at the two of them with pride.
Yuan Tiangang looked at Bai Song, waiting for Bai Song's answer.
Bai Song thought for a while: "Who can know true immortality without experiencing it for a hundred years? My body has indeed undergone some changes now, but who can guarantee whether it is good or bad? There may be many hidden diseases that we have not discovered.
Don’t make a comprehensive judgment based on one example.”
Li Chunfeng smiled: "Brother Bai, you have your concerns, but Pindao also has Pindao's pursuit. Pindao will not force you to tell the secret of immortality, but please don't obstruct Pindao."
Bai Song didn't know how to answer, so he could only sigh in his heart. It seemed impossible to convince the other party.
"In this case, let's just do it one by one. You slowly study your immortality, but you must always pay attention to your own standards. I will observe you in secret. When I feel the need to step in to stop it, the Taoist priest will not do it.
Blame me for being nosy."
Bai Song said and drank a glass of wine. This banquet seemed to be unnecessary.
Bai Song stood up to leave, but Li Chunfeng did not persuade him to stay. However, when Yuan Tiangang was about to leave with him, Li Chunfeng asked Taoist Yuan to sit down and have a chat.
This time, Yuan Tiangang did not refuse and actually sat down to talk to Li Chunfeng.
Bai Song looked at the two Taoist priests inside and wondered whether they really wanted to study the elixir of longevity together, right?
But it's up to them how they want to deal with it. As long as they behave themselves and don't do the same outrageous things as they did in Japan, everything will be fine.
…
Back at the palace, Bai Song felt very tired.
There are too many things to do, and I worry about all kinds of things every day. I was originally a person who pursued open-mindedness and spontaneity, but following the trend of history, when I wanted to break free, I found that I could no longer extricate myself.
Immortality medicine is still a very small thing.
I just turned down invitations from some new officials.
Recently, a group of young officials in the court want to win over Bai Song and make Bai Song the core of young officials in the court.
I was rejected once today, and there will be a second time tomorrow.
The persistence of these young officials was unusual and must have been annoying at times.
The East Palace invited Bai Song several times but was rejected. Today Li Chengqian paid a visit in person and even brought the Crown Princess.
Bai Song was left alone in the main hall without seeing him.
The direct reason why Bai Song felt very tired was hearing Xiang'er mention something - sending Xiao Wu into the palace.
Upon hearing this, Bai Song's vest became soaked.
This is a problem that Bai Song has always been worried about.
In the past, the Bai Song Dynasty had always hoped to maintain the progress of history and let everything proceed according to the original trajectory of history.
If this is the case, it is inevitable for Xiao Wu to enter the palace.
But as Bai Song became more and more involved in all this, Bai Song found that he could no longer let history go on as it was.
If history goes as it should, then Li Chengqian will rebel in the future, and as a young master, his family will be implicated.
If history proceeds as it goes, Japan will frequently invade Datang in the future. Wouldn’t all the efforts I have made in Japan be in vain? Will my sister in Japan be in danger because of this?
If history goes as it should, Princess Runan will have died of illness now, and the Bai Song Dynasty would never allow such a thing to happen.
Although everything was being changed by Bai Song, when he returned to Chang'an this time, Bai Song clearly felt that history was constantly correcting itself during the more than half a year he went to Japan.
This is the situation that Bai Song is most worried about and least willing to see.
The only way to make history truly move forward is to watch Xiao Wu closely, let her be Xiao Wu for the rest of her life, and never let her enter the palace.
Upon hearing Xiang'er's proposal, Bai Song flatly refused.
But Xiang'er said that this was Xiao Wu's own suggestion.
The root cause is that he heard that his father was demoted and his life was difficult.
Xiao Wu wants to enter the palace to vindicate his father and restore his innocence.
Hearing this, the scene of a palace battle drama appeared in Bai Song's mind, and the real version of the legend of Wu Meiniang was about to be staged.
So Bai Song immediately found Xiao Wu. As long as there was even the slightest hint of this idea, it must be eliminated.
Xiaowu was in a daze looking at a pond of koi in the garden of the palace. Also in a daze was Miss Yoshiko, who had been neglected by Bai Song for many days.
"Xiaowu, come here."
Bai Song shouted from a distance.
The sound attracted Xiao Wu and also caught Ji Zi's eyes.
There have been too many things going on recently, so I forgot about Yoshiko.
Fortunately, Japanese women are not so possessive, and there is no expression of complaint on their faces.
Zhu You smiled at the other party: "Ji Zi, I want to talk to Xiao Wu about something and I'll find you later."
Yoshiko nodded and retreated to Kai.
"Brother!"
Xiao Wu jumped up to Bai Song, "Your palace is so big, so impressive!"
Bai Song pointed to the pavilion next to him: "Let's go over and talk."
Xiaowu hooked Bai Song's middle finger to the pavilion and sat down. He asked with bright eyes: "Brother, are you not busy today? Is there any news about Sister Ruan'er?"
Bai Song did not respond and asked directly: "I heard that you want to enter the palace?"
Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment, suppressed his playful expression, and then nodded seriously: "Yeah."
"Why do you think so?"
"Because... my father suffered an unfair injustice because of me. Xiao Wu wants to vindicate his father and does not want to become a sinner of the Wu family."
"Is your father's life very difficult now?"
"Xiaowu hasn't seen his father for a long time, but I heard that the imperial court took over our house and fields, and it's hard for Xiaowu's brothers, sisters, and younger brothers to live well."
"You don't have to worry about this. With big brother here, raising Xiaowu and his family won't be a problem at all."
"However, Xiao Wu doesn't want his father to become a sinner. It's because Xiao Wu escaped that the family is in the current predicament. I heard that no one in Chang'an City believes that I am an unknown person. If I can get to the palace, Xiao Wu will use
Prove yourself with practical actions, and the Emperor will trust Xiao Wu."
"You don't have to prove it at all. It is a very unwise choice to ruin your life for a rumor. If this matter is your heart, big brother can help you. If you want your parents and brothers to live well, big brother will help you."
You have money, you want to rehabilitate your parents, and your eldest brother will help you file a memorial. If you want your father to be reinstated, eldest brother will also help you! Let alone reinstate the officer, what's the problem if I let him go to the third level?"
"But...but Xiao Wu wants to rely on himself..."
"Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about? Isn't what big brother gave you your own? These years, big brother has never taken care of you. Now that you have finally come to Chang'an, big brother certainly wants to compensate you. Don't ever go there
The idea of a palace is not suitable for you at all."
"Brother, you seem to be particularly afraid of Xiao Wu going to the palace..." Xiao Wu blinked his eyes and asked seriously.
Bai Song thought for a while, didn't hide anything, and nodded.
