Chapter 762: Chapter 762: Go Check on Miss Lin

...

After giving detailed orders, Lin Caisang said her goodbye to the Eldest Prince and left.

When the Elder Princess and the Emperor came again, they only found the Eldest Prince; Lin Caisang was nowhere to be found.

"Feng’er, where is Miss Lin?" the Elder Princess asked the Eldest Prince.

"Miss Lin said she had an urgent matter to attend to and left earlier," answered the Eldest Prince.

"She left?"

Upon hearing his words, the Elder Princess was stunned.

"Yes, she said she had some business at home and would come again early tomorrow morning to check on the Second Imperial Brother," the Eldest Prince replied.

However, he was puzzled. Where exactly was ’home’ for Miss Lin? Could it possibly be that she also lived around the royal hunting grounds? But that seemed unlikely, right?

Yet she mentioned that she needed to deal with some family matters and that she would come over early...

And if it meant first thing tomorrow morning, that would only be an hour away from now. Could she really make the round trip in just one hour?

"She’s coming back later?" Elder Princess let out a sigh of relief.

This meant she would have the chance to see her daughter again. That was good news.

"Auntie, were you looking for Miss Lin for something?" The Eldest Prince asked, seeing the way she acted.

"It’s nothing imperative," the Elder Princess maintained her composure and shook her head at the Eldest Prince.

"Miss Lin saved my life last time, and now she saved Xiao’er. As members of the royal family, we surely cannot leave such a huge favor unreciprocated. I am thinking about what I should prepare for Miss Lin to repay her lifesaving kindness."

As she was speaking, she looked at the Emperor, her real older brother.

Her daughter was thirteen, soon to reach marrying age. Hence, the more dowries to be prepared, the better. With plenty of treasures stored in the royal treasury, she certainly wanted her daughter to take a few more.

"Yes, yes, we must definitely recompense Miss Lin for saving Xiao’er. And the guard who helped with the tent earlier should also be heavily rewarded," the Emperor immediately agreed.

However, thinking of Lin Caisang’s mysterious disappearance - even from the secured royal hunting grounds - he could not help but feel uneasy.

This girl’s background seemed extraordinary. He wondered which sacred mountain she descended from.

"But Miss Lin seems quite mysterious. We don’t know where she comes from. Feng’er, why don’t you have someone investigate her background?"

"This..."

Upon hearing his father’s words, the Eldest Prince hesitated for a moment and glanced at the Elder Princess.

"Imperial Brother, it’s not appropriate to investigate Miss Lin," the Elder Princess grasped his implication and turned to address the Emperor.

Would her daughter need to be investigated? How could she allow it? Even if Sangsang were not her daughter, such a person with transcendent medical skills could not be easily checked.

"What’s inappropriate about it?" asked the Emperor.

He did not find anything wrong. As far as he was concerned, anything arousing his suspicion should be investigated. Otherwise, what if he entrusted Lin Caisang with a heavy responsibility and she turned out to be a spy sent by another country?

"Haven’t you noticed that Miss Lin is too mysterious? If such a person harbors evil intentions, it is difficult to guard against them."

He would be fine, as no one could reach him in the palace. But what about his younger sister? He knew that his sister cared a lot about the thousand acres of fertile land Lin Caisang managed, and his eldest son had given his prosperous shop to Lin Caisang.
