Because the six ministries of the court had been busy preparing for the 150,000 troops that were about to enter the capital, the morning court session had ended early. The end of the morning court session was good news for Li Er in the past because he could finally free himself from the busy government affairs and rest for a while. But today … Li Er, who had finished the morning court session, didn't know where to go!
There was a woman waiting for him in the imperial harem.
It wasn't that he didn't want to see that woman. On the contrary, that woman was the love of his life. He just didn't want to face her today as some of her questions were difficult for him to answer.
But he couldn't just stay in Taiji Palace like this. That woman would definitely come looking for him once she knew that the morning court session had ended.
Where should he go then?
This sounded a little funny. The dignified Son of Heaven actually had a time when he didn't know where his' place 'was. It was truly inconceivable!
"Your Majesty, the Black Armored Army's camp is holding a martial arts competition today. You previously told General Duan that you would be going back to observe. Do you want to go today?"
Just as Li Er was feeling conflicted, Zhao Song came up to him and whispered to him.
"Hmm?"
Li Er, who was in a dilemma, was suddenly energized. He sat up straight and looked at Zhao Song. Without hesitation, he replied, "I'm going! Since I've promised Minister Duan, I'll definitely go! You'll come with me too. As for the Empress, send someone to inform her so that she won't worry about me. "
Then, Li Er stood up and prepared to leave the palace. He seemed to be more anxious than anyone else to leave the palace, leaving behind a stunned Zhao Song.
What a joke. He was just thinking about how to temporarily avoid Empress Zhangsun. Now that he was about to doze off, someone sent him a pillow. "Going to the Black Armored Army's camp to observe the martial arts competition" was such a dignified excuse. How could he not use it?
As for why he emphasized that Zhao Song should go with him, it was mainly because Zhao Song was one of the key informants who knew about Li Tai's capture. If he stayed in the palace, Empress Zhangsun might interrogate him. Although Zhao Song had always been loyal, he would definitely be put in a difficult position when faced with Empress Zhangsun's interrogation.
A moment later, Li Er, dressed in casual clothes, left the palace with Zhao Song and a dozen or so guards. They were dressed lightly.
On Empress Zhangsun's side, ever since Li Er had left for morning court, she had been waiting for Li Er to come over after court ended. At this time, a palace maid came to report that Taiji Palace's court had ended. Empress Zhangsun couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. She secretly thought that when Li Er came over, she would definitely ask him about last night's matter!
She was not an aggressive woman, especially when she was in the harem. She knew how to be a wife better than anyone else. Most of the time, if Li Er was unwilling to say something, she would never ask. But this time was different!
She had a premonition that Zhao Song had come looking for Li Tai last night because something had happened to Li Tai in Taiyuan. Although it was just a vague intuition, she had to get to the bottom of this since it concerned her son's safety!
Empress Zhangsun sat quietly in the side hall of the Lizheng Palace. Her mood was not calm at all. A quarter of an hour passed, a quarter of an hour passed, but she still did not see Li Er's figure. At this time, she could not sit still. Could it be that Li Er had directly gone to the Sweet Dew Hall to read memorials after the morning court session?
