Chapter 1104: Chapter 1104: Leaving Already?

Hearing her words, even Nanny Bai, who had previously felt indifferent, was now scared into a cold sweat.

Perhaps there really was the possibility that Lin Caisang had mentioned!

"This old servant understands, thank you for the reminder, Miss Lin."

"As long as Nanny Bai understands, that’s good," Lin Caisang nodded.

"Miss Lin, this old servant will go and wake the Elder Princess right away," said Nanny Bai as she was about to step forward, but at that moment, the Elder Princess had already opened her eyes.

"There’s no need, I am already awake," the Elder Princess said.

The Elder Princess sat up from her reclining chair and looked toward Nanny Bai.

"Nanny, what Miss Lin said is very true. You must immediately send someone to instruct that, from this very moment, the mansion’s guards must be much more vigilant, not allowing those outside any opportunity to exploit."

"As you wish, Your Highness," Nanny Bai responded, then withdrew.

"Miss Lin, how come you are here? Is there something the matter?"

After Nanny Bai had left, the Elder Princess gestured for Lin Caisang to come closer.

"Er..."

Lin Caisang was at a loss for words upon being questioned.

She had hurried over upon hearing that the Elder Princess had almost been attacked, driven by concern to see her.

But once she actually arrived at the Princess’ Mansion and saw the Elder Princess, she found she didn’t know how to explain why she knew the Elder Princess was in danger.

"Here’s what happened: I heard about the incident in Wan County and after visiting yesterday, I encountered the Eldest Prince and learned about your close encounter from him. I wanted to come and see how you were."

Fortunately, having met the Eldest Prince in Wan County gave her a temporary excuse.

"I see," the Elder Princess nodded.

Even though she knew that she hadn’t sent anyone to tell the Eldest Prince in Wan County and neither had the emperor.

But the fact that Sangsang knew of her predicament meant she must have her own forces. There was no need to question further. On the contrary, knowing that her daughter was so well-informed brought her some relief.

"Feng’er has always been dutiful. How is he doing in Wan County?" she asked.

"Your Highness need not worry, the Eldest Prince is all well in Wan County," Lin Caisang told the Elder Princess.

"The issue in Wan County isn’t a sickness, but deliberate poisoning. Although I’ve yet to produce an antidote, I can still ensure the lives of Wan County’s people are protected. Seeing you unharmed also puts me at ease. I shall be returning to Wan County tomorrow."

"You’re leaving so soon?"

The Elder Princess asked, surprised.

But then she thought about how many lives hung in the balance in Wan County. There was really nothing pressing at her end, and inevitably, that was more important.

"Then take care, as someone who has poisoned others might also target you."

"I will," Lin Caisang assured.

After talking with the Elder Princess for a while and accompanying her during her meal, Lin Caisang and Sui Ziyou, under the arrangements made by Nanny Bai, went to rest.

...

Jian’an City.

In an elegant separate villa, shadows flitted in the dark.

In the bright study, a middle-aged man wearing silver clothes sat behind a desk, and in front of him stood a man and a woman.

"She has appeared?" he raised an eyebrow, looking at the man.

"Yes, master," the man confirmed, looking up at him.

"Just got the news, that female physician had only entered the Elder Princess’ mansion a short while ago, she must have just come from somewhere else."

"Master, your idea was indeed effective. As long as something happens to the Elder Princess, that female physician will indeed show up. Now that it’s come to this, the Elder Princess is her Achilles’ heel. We won’t have to worry about not being able to capture her."
