Xingqing Palace carries many memories of the Bai Song Dynasty.
There, she became entangled by fate with Princess Runan.
All in all, that palace, which was not too big, contained a lot of emotions and thoughts of the Bai Song Dynasty.
I don’t know how long it’s been since I went to that place.
The old emperor inside was also an old naughty boy. Bai Song had no objection to him, and when he recalled the relationship, he was more like a friend.
I went back this time with a bit of a heavy heart.
Bai Song did not bring anyone with him, and when he approached Xingqing Palace, he was stopped on the street.
"Who is it? This place is blocked, and everyone else is waiting to take a detour!"
Several heavily armed soldiers blocked Bai Song's door, but Bai Song could feel that there were many hidden sentries monitoring him in various places, and there were even many hidden crossbows aimed at him.
"I am Bai Song."
The simple introduction surprised the soldier, who quickly stepped back and knelt down to salute: "I have met Mr. Bai."
"Get out of my way, I'm going to Xingqing Palace."
"Sir, this..."
"Is there anything wrong?"
"I'm afraid it might be dangerous to go to Xingqing Palace. Your Excellency, you are so noble that you can't live without protection by your side?"
"Don't worry, I don't need any protection."
With that said, Bai Song strode in. A few soldiers behind him hesitated, but in the end they did not stop him.
The palace door of Xingqing Palace was closed tightly. Bai Song went up and knocked on the door.
After a long time, I heard someone inside asking: "Who?"
"Bai Song, on the emperor's order, came to visit Emperor Taizu."
Soon, a crack opened in Xingqing Palace.
An old eunuch looked at Bai Song and gave Bai Song a look.
Bai Song entered Xingqing Palace sideways and quickly closed the palace door.
Inside the Xingqing Palace, several men in Jianghu costumes stared at Bai Song, each with their hands on their weapons, looking very nervous.
"Don't worry, I'm the only one here, and I don't have any weapons."
Bai Song said simply.
Several people still had no change. They all had injuries on their bodies and looked very embarrassed.
The entire Xingqing Palace is still the same as before, but with so many people, the atmosphere of the whole place is completely different. The atmosphere is depressing and dull, and it feels like a conflict may break out at any time.
Bai Song stood at the door without moving, feeling that something was wrong in the atmosphere.
But at this moment, several meows broke the silence of the scene.
A bunch of big cats sprang out from nowhere. They bypassed several murderous middle-aged men, and all gathered around Bai Song. They circled around and rubbed against Bai Song's legs one by one, squinting.
I closed my eyes and enjoyed it very much, as if I had met an old friend after a long absence.
Seeing this scene, the first person who couldn't hold back was the eunuch who had been serving the old emperor in Xingqing Palace for many years.
When he saw these cats, he burst into tears.
The old eunuch slowly knelt down and stroked these big cats that had grown from kittens: "These beasts still remember adults!"
Surrounded by these furry guys, Bai Song's heart softened. He squatted down, rubbed his little heads, and said nothing.
"I think it was the adults who cut them in the first place. Now the cats in Xingqing Palace are infertile, and there are only a few of them alive now."
"There are only so many left?"
"Yes, in the past year, these cats have been dying of illness. The fortune teller said that these cats are the luck of Emperor Taizu. If Emperor Taizu's luck is weak, the cats will not live long. If I had known...
We shouldn’t let adults use knives on them.”
For a moment, Bai Song was filled with emotion and didn't know what to say.
After a while, the old eunuch stood up and said, "Let's go, I will take you to see the old emperor."
Bai Song stood up and suddenly found a big black cat hanging on his leg and refusing to leave.
This big cat was very dirty, its eyes were dull and full of dirt, and it was obviously sick.
Bai Song was a little surprised. This seemingly soulless cat was actually the most intelligent cat among the group. It seemed that he knew that Bai Song knew medical skills, so he relied on Bai Song to wait for Bai Song to cure him.
Woolen cloth.
These cats were like old friends. Bai Song couldn't bear it, so he held the big black cat in his arms and followed the old eunuch away.
Bai Song didn't pay attention to the middle-aged people following him all the way, but focused all his attention on the cat.
The big black cat lay lazily in Bai Song's arms, dozing motionlessly and completely lifeless.
Soon we arrived at Emperor Taizu's bedroom. It was already afternoon, but the old emperor inside didn't seem to have gotten up yet.
"Master Bai, the old emperor has become more and more sleepy recently, and it will take a quarter of an hour before he gets up."
"It's okay, I'll just wait here."
Bai Song chose an open space in the flower bed and sat down, trying to tease the big black cat, but saw that the cat was already asleep and snoring.
At this time, a pair of cold eyes locked on Bai Song.
Bai Song was not surprised when he saw the other party. He stood up and smiled: "How are you?"
Li Changsheng, the crown prince of the New Tang Dynasty, is now the self-proclaimed emperor of Xintang.
This man was actually wearing a dragon robe, walking swaggeringly in Chang'an. He was very calm under the eyes of all the maids and eunuchs of Xingqing Palace. Naturally, it seemed that he really thought he was the emperor.
"When you see me, why don't you kneel down and salute?"
In a word, Bai Song was a little confused.
"We haven't seen each other for a few years. Classmate Xiao Li's spirit is not very good?"
Bai Song asked back with a smile.
At this time, several middle-aged men finally couldn't bear it anymore and stepped forward with a warning look on their faces.
Bai Song was unmoved. He and a few people didn't even have a grandmaster, so there was nothing to worry about.
Just as Bai Song thought, a true master will not become a dead soldier. The more powerful a person is, the more he will know how to assess the situation.
They would gather together because of Li Changsheng, but they would not continue to follow Li Changsheng even though they knew they were facing a dead end.
The people who are loyal now and the people who are willing to die for New Tang are only those who are incapable.
Bai Song looked at the other party and said seriously: "Only a child would think that wearing a dragon robe is the emperor. This is a matter of life and death, not a child's play."
"I regretted not killing you in Xintang the most in my life!"
Li Changsheng stared at Bai Song, and finally there was some resentment in his eyes.
Recalling the various aspects of New Tang Dynasty is another unforgettable memory, and it still makes people sigh when recalling it.
Who would have thought that after leaving New Tang, meeting the New Tang crown prince again, he would have already done such an earth-shattering thing?
"It's too late to regret now."
"I know that you came to take my life on behalf of that foolish king!"
Bai Song shook his head calmly: "You can't die in Xingqing Palace."
"What do you mean?"
"You have another chance to escape. This is the only chance the emperor gives you."
"Let me go? How is that possible? How could Li Shimin be so kind? How could a person like him, who is despicable and shameless and does everything he can, let me go?"
