"Excuse me, is Lord Bai from Zhongyuan inside?" A voice, clear and pleasant, though not overly delicate, came through. The woman speaking must have a wonderful voice for singing.
Bai Ruozhu and the others looked towards Sa Tian and Xinye, only they knew who the visitor was as they were unfamiliar with the palace affairs.
Sa Tian shook his head to signal his ignorance, while Xinye thought for a moment before whispering, "It seems to be Empress Shangzi, who is also the Second Prince's aunt."
Xinye spoke without intention and only remembered Bai Ruozhu's previous remarks afterwards, which left him somewhat embarrassed. He added, "The Empress passed away early, and the Crown Prince was raised by Empress Shangzi herself, who has no children of her own."
Bai Ruozhu thought of the Crown Prince, the Second Prince's biggest rival, realizing that this Empress Shangzi's visit carried ulterior motives.
