Chapter 320: Chapter 320: Those People are Fake? Chapter 320: Chapter 320: Those People are Fake? …
“My Lord, something terrible has happened. The guard we had watching the small courtyard came to report. He said that the female doctor has been taken away by a nanny from the Princess’ Mansion. Apparently, she’s been summoned to diagnose the Elder Princess.”
In another luxurious room, the Second Prince who had just closed his eyes for rest was immediately awakened by a guard who had rushed in.
His eyes widened in surprise as he furiously grabbed the guard’s collar.
“How is this possible? Who would be so bold as to disrupt my plans?”
Even the boldest of the Princess’s Mansion wouldn’t dare to ignore his commands, right? And let’s not forget where we are – this is the Elder Princess’ Mansion. What doctor could just walk in and be allowed to diagnose the Elder Princess directly?
Even putting aside his own machinations against Lin Caisang, wouldn’t there usually be a series of tests she’d have to pass?
Who was so bold as to bring someone directly to see the Elder Princess? Are they not afraid to die?
The guard was completely bewildered, not understanding why the people in the Elder Princess’ Mansion didn’t investigate the person carefully before allowing them to meet with the princess. What if this person harbored malevolent intent?
This surprised the Second Prince even more. He stared at his personal guard in disbelief.
“What about the person keeping watch over the small courtyard? If you don’t know, doesn’t they?” he asked.
He had tasked his men to keep an eye on the guards of the Elder Princess’ Mansion. If a servant they had never seen before came out from the mansion, they’d definitely notice, right?
“They said that a nanny took the lady doctor to meet the princess and then left the small courtyard. They didn’t mention whether they recognized the nanny,” the guard replied.
Upon hearing this, the Second Prince knew that things had taken a bad turn.
A nanny who was able to fetch Lin Caisang was definitely a trusted old servant close to his aunt. The idea that the guards wouldn’t recognize her was absurd.
There was only one explanation…
“Hurry, send people to intercept them!”
The guard’s eyes widened in shock.
“My Lord, that may not be a good idea. The person has already been taken there. If we try to get her back now, we won’t have a good explanation for the Emperor.”
If they caused a fuss over this and the Emperor found out, and it was revealed that the Second Prince had been obstructing the doctor, causing a delay in treating the Elder Princess, those serving the Second Prince would surely be in hot water!
Upon hearing his guard’s words, the Second Prince snapped and smacked the guard on the back of his head.
“If the people were really from my aunt’s side, would I need to chase them? Hurry up!”
It seemed that the female doctor might indeed have some skills. Someone didn’t want his aunt’s illness to be cured, hence the audacity to impersonate a nanny from the Princess’ Mansion and take her away!
Previously, a doctor had been killed before he could even reach the Princess’ Mansion.
This clearly showed that his aunt’s illness was a serious matter!
“Ah? Those people are impostors?”
The guard’s complexion turned pale green as he stared at the prince in disbelief. Surely, the people didn’t have the audacity to cause trouble in the Elder Princess’ Mansion, did they?
“I’ll go handle it at once.”
Knowing that time was of the essence, he hurriedly ran out.
The Second Prince, seeing his guard rush off to find people, also followed suit.
Meanwhile, Lin Caisang felt uneasy as she followed the nanny and the guard through numerous turns. She had a vague feeling that something wasn’t quite right—these weren’t the usual protocols in the Princess’ Mansion.
Regardless of any formalities, one couldn’t possibly bring a doctor directly to see a member of the royal family without going through proper procedures. Even as a commoner, she knew this.
