Xiao Song hurried on horseback to the palace, where the eunuch Zhong Rui was already waiting at the palace gate, "Assistant Minister Xiao, the Emperor is currently in the Zichen Palace."
Having said that, he ordered an eunuch to lead the way. Xiao Song felt surprised, as the Zichen Palace was where the emperor met with important or close officials, and besides, it was so late that the Emperor should not still be in the Zichen Palace! Looking at Zhong Rui, it seemed as if he was waiting for someone else—could it be that the Emperor summoned more than just him?
The eunuch walked very fast, and after passing through several palace gates, Xiao Song faintly saw the figure of Minister of the Ministry of Justice Zhang Liang, immediately quickening his pace, "Minister Zhang."
