Chapter 452 Zhao Qiongying
Chapter 452 Zhao Qiongying
"Madam Shu Guipin, there's news coming in that your mother, Lady Bai Zhao, has come to the capital and wants to see you."
The palace maids from the Pepper Room hurried to the Nanxun Room.
Mrs. Bai, Zhao Qiongying, is the younger sister of Li Ren'an's wife, Zhao Guixiu, the wife of the second son of Marquis Anlu, and the nominal mother of Bai Liangyu.
Marquis Anlu had passed away several years ago, and his eldest son inherited the title with a lower rank. Zhao Qiongying's husband died more than ten years earlier than Marquis Anlu, so Zhao Qiongying had been living in the Marquis Anlu's Mansion, now the Earl Anlu's Mansion.
Why did you suddenly come to Beijing?
Bai Liangyu fell into deep thought.
Although she had only met this nominal mother a few times, she was deeply impressed by her.
Zhao Guixiu and Zhao Qiongying are twin sisters who look almost identical.
"Why did mother suddenly come to the capital? Did my uncle (the Earl of Anlu) have some good fortune and was summoned back to the capital by His Majesty? Or did mother get bullied by someone and come to complain to me?"
Bai Liangyu said casually.
Earl Anlu is an old man already, and Zhao Qiongying is not young either. Unless the whole family was questioned and escorted to Beijing, why would they come all the way here?
"I don't know about this. If Your Majesty wants to see me, I will go and report to Your Majesty right away."
Upon hearing this, the palace maid immediately forced a perfect smile, lowered her hands, closed her eyes, and stood quietly, waiting for Shu Guipin's reply.
"Thank you, Queen. I miss my mother. I want to see her."
Shu Guipin Bai Liangyu hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
The palace maid who delivered the message retreated respectfully, her figure gradually moving away. Bai Liangyu's gaze was fixed on the palace maid's back like a thread. The luxurious furnishings around her became a silent background, and her mind gradually drifted away.
Bai Liangyu hasn't thought about the people and things outside the palace for a long time. The only warmth she has left now comes from His Majesty and the Tenth Princess.
The most profound memory she had of the loving couple, Li Renan and Zhao Guixiu, was a sea of scarlet blood.
Those two strange red beads represented her lifelong hatred.
She hadn't seen Zhao Guixiu for about ten years. If she saw Zhao Qiongying's face... Bai Liangyu took a deep breath, clenched her hands into fists, and suppressed the churning in her stomach.
She wanted to vomit.
"Why do you want to see me if my mother doesn't want to?" The Tenth Princess Qin Tianlu looked at Bai Liangyu in confusion.
"Mother has a slight guess in her mind."
Bai Liangyu's inexplicable thoughts were intertwined and entangled in his mind, difficult to separate, and a sense of inexplicable excitement arose from it.
"Mother, do you want me to accompany you? It so happens that I have nothing to do tomorrow, so let me accompany you to meet your 'grandmother'." The Tenth Princess Qin Tianlu said worriedly.
"No, you still have to go to Xuxueguan tomorrow and study hard." Bai Liangyu refused immediately. Zhao Guixiu was stupid and vicious, with no bottom line at all. She didn't dare to let her tenth princess suffer any threat from outside the family.
No one else would do such a thing as poisoning the Tenth Princess and forcing her to let the Third Prince go, but Bai Liangyu was very suspicious of Zhao Guixiu's mind.
---------------
The next day, Nanxun Palace.
Shu Guipin Bai Liangyu was wearing a white dress and sitting in the main seat. She couldn't help but sneer as she watched the old woman approach slowly.
"My name is Zhao, and I'm here to pay my respects to Concubine Shu." Zhao bowed slowly.
Bai Liangyu sat quietly, seemingly unresponsive. After a long while, she responded, "Mother, please get up."
