The manhua makes it look like it was a countryside villa. What I don't understand is, if Xianyang were still a city at this time, why did the imperial entourage lack for food upon arrival just because this palace was empty? Also, going by the timing, at most they had all skipped breakfast rather than starving for days. |

The Wangxian Palace (望賢宮) was a palace in Xianyang, China. During the Tang dynasty, it was overseen by the local county magistrate.[1]
History
After Tong Pass fell to the rebellious forces of An Lushan, the road to the Tang capital of Chang'an was laid wide open for capture.[2] The Emperor Xuanzong made the decision to abandon the city to seek refuge in the southwest region of Shu.[1] At dawn on 14 July 756,[1][3][4][5] he departed from Chang'an with his family and highest officials under escort by the Army of Dragon Warriors. Their route first took them northward over the Wei River to make a stop at Wangxian Palace. Ahead of his arrival, the high-ranking eunuch Gao Lishi had dispatched the eunuch Wang Luoqing to the palace to ensure that the county magistrate would prepare food for the imperial court. Instead, Luoqing and the magistrate had absconded with all of the palace's supplies and servants. When the famished entourage arrived at noon, they found the palace so thoroughly emptied that not even a single grain of rice remained.[1] The incident was one of many along the journey that depleted the troops' morale and contributed to the Mawei Station mutiny the next day.[6]
