Since the Eldest Prince didn't initially mention that Lin Caisang was in the Princess' Mansion, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to bring it up first.
Everyone knew it already but if he were the one to voice it out, it would suggest that he had indeed been keeping an eye on the Princess' Mansion. If the Eldest Prince decided to blame him for this, he would invariably bear the brunt of it.
"General Zhi, you have arrived at an opportune time. It just so happens that Miss Lin is at the Princess' Mansion," the Eldest Prince remarked casually upon seeing that he chose to remain silent.
"Really?"
Zhi Lingyang feigned ignorance, questioning the Prince.
"Your Highness, may I be permitted to see Miss Lin now?"
"There is no need for a visit. Miss Lin is a maiden and it is quite inappropriate for her to meet an outsider like General Zhi at this late hour," the Eldest Prince denied outright.
Zhi Lingyang: "..."
A maiden? An outsider?
