Chapter 1260: Chapter 1260: Then I Shall Not Ask

It really is quite the joke when one thinks about it. If the civil and military officials knew that their emperor actually wanted to win over a female doctor by imprisoning her in the palace and not letting her leave, who knows what they would think.

"Mo’er, where is Miss Lin now? Why hasn’t she come over?" the Empress Dowager asked.

Although she had stopped her son’s idea, if that little head truly caught her eye, she was indeed willing to help her son to win over the young girl to the harem.

After all, she is the Empress Dowager of Wei State, and she must consider the future of Wei State.

"Miss Lin has been running around for several days, and today she went for a stroll on the streets. She’s a bit tired, so your grandson arranged a courtyard for her, and she did not come over," Zimo replied.

"Is that so?"

The Empress Dowager responded but certainly knew Zimo’s true thoughts in his heart.

Although they spoke such pleasant words on the surface, in truth, they just didn’t want to tear their faces in public. Zimo did not want her to meet Lin Caisang, and she could guess as much.

"What a pity, Mo’er. May I know where Miss Lin’s family resides? Who else is in her household?"

She asked.

"Miss Lin’s home..."

Zimo lowered his gaze, thought for a moment, then raised his head, his face full of difficulty as he looked at the Empress Dowager.

"Your Imperial Grandmother, when I brought Miss Lin out, I made a vicious oath to her family that I would never reveal their residence to anyone else; otherwise, your grandson would surely meet a terrible end.

Your Imperial Grandmother has always loved your grandson and surely would not want to see your grandson die from his own curse, right?"

"Uh!"

The Empress Dowager was choked by his words and suddenly didn’t know what to say.

How was she supposed to continue asking? There was no need to ask anything else, right? Although she knew very well that these words were just Zimo’s excuses, he just didn’t want her to pry into Lin Caisang’s background.

Could she really disregard the life and death of this ’grandson’ and force Zimo to reveal Lin Caisang’s background?

"Since Mo’er has said so, I will not inquire further," she said, her smile stiff on her face.

"But since Miss Lin is in Mo’er’s mansion, Mo’er must remember to take good care of her and not let her be wronged. Miss Lin is indeed a greatly talented person."

She advised.

"Your Imperial Grandmother is right, your grandson will bear it in mind," Zimo assured.

"When leaving Miss Lin’s hometown, your grandson also promised her family that I would ensure Miss Lin’s safety and not let her suffer any grievances or meet anyone she does not wish to see.

However, these promises of your grandson may be superfluous, as according to Miss Lin’s family, Miss Lin is extremely skilled with poisons. If anyone foolish enough dares to offend her, it’s likely they’ll have no chance to return.

This is something your grandson needs to spread through the mansion’s guards in the streets to let everyone know of Miss Lin’s temperament and avoid seeking out their own troubles," said Zimo, his eyes pointedly glancing at the Empress Dowager.

"This..."

The smile on the Empress Dowager’s face became even more rigid, almost unable to hold up.

The person Zimo spoke of was none other than her, the Empress Dowager. So far, she was the only one who had come to Prince Mo’s mansion and inquired about Miss Lin’s identity from Zimo.

Of course, Zimo’s words also referred to the Emperor!

Her son, comfortably staying in the palace, insisted on issuing a royal decree to Prince Mo’s Mansion, which was practically asking for trouble.
