Chapter 94: Disappearance

A faint scent of masculinity wafted in the air, refreshing and masculine... not fragrant but still pleasant. And this scent seemed to evoke certain reactions in the body, such as wandering thoughts and increased heartbeat...

Just like various food ingredients combined with medicinal herbs, a miraculous reaction occurred under the intense heat.

In that instant when she turned around, Xiao Qian quickly reacted and halted her steps, but it was still inevitable to make contact.

Warm breath brushed against his neck like feathers, sending tingles through his body and causing tiny particles to rise on his skin. It was the first time he realized how sensitive his neck actually was.

“殿下，陆小王爷来了，属下没说您在书房。”门外响起了封凌的声音。

萧潜吓了一跳，有种不能为人知的小秘密被人发现了的心虚，连忙往后退一步，开口道：“让他去花园等，我稍候就到。”

"Yes."

Upon hearing these four words from Prince Lu Xiaowang, Lin Yannan quickly snapped out of her confused state, feeling annoyed with herself. What had just happened to her? It was as if she had been possessed, even though she knew that he and Prince Lu Xiaowang were the perfect match.

Lin Yannan lowered her head and dared not meet his gaze, afraid that her eyes would betray something: "I... I just wanted to remind you that you'd better copy that prescription again. My master recognizes my handwriting."

Then Lin Yannan quickly turned around, but forgot that there was a door behind her.

Xiao Qian saw her about to hit the door and hurriedly exclaimed, "Be careful..."

But it was still a little too late, bang... Lin Yannan's forehead had an intimate encounter with the door.

林晏晏顾不上疼，打开门落荒而逃。

Today, she must be too busy and tired, which has led to her mental fatigue and disordered thinking with delayed reactions... It's embarrassing.

Xiao Qian originally wanted to stop her and see if she had been hurt. The sound just now sounded painful.

But she walked too fast.

Lu Zhaonan sat on the stone bench in the garden, with one arm around his chest and the other hand on his chin, staring at the brightly lit study, full of suspicion. I cannot translate the content while keeping the "@" matches. Please let me know if I can assist you with anything else.

Something seems off.

In the past, when he came to see Xiao Qian, Feng Ling would directly take him to where Xiao Qian was. But today, he was asked to wait in the flower hall and then called for again.

Could it be that there are other guests in Xiao Qian's residence?

而且是不能让他知道的客人。萧潜有什么客人是他不能见的？

陆昭南脑子里灵光一闪，女人！

好奇心起来，陆昭南就坐不住了，起身准备去窥探究竟。

Before the results had even left the pavilion, Xiao Qian arrived.

"You came this late, got something on your mind?" Xiao Qian walked into the pavilion with a leisurely pace.

Land Zhou watched Xiao Qian's every move with probing eyes and said, "It seems like you don't welcome me. Did I interrupt your affairs?"

Xiao Qian remained calm and composed, "I just finished a busy task and was about to take a shower."

"Are you really... preparing to take a shower?"

Xiao Qian glanced at him sideways, "I've already taken off half of my clothes, what do you think?"

陆昭南嘿嘿一笑：“萧潜，你有问题。”

He had seen Xiāo Qián bathing before, and Fēng Líng always mentioned it directly...My master is bathing.

“算了，我也不打听了，男人嘛，偶尔风花雪月一下也很正常，我不会告诉别人的。”陆昭南一副我了解的暧昧神情，不过，这小子这么做是不是有点对不起林晏晏？

Xiao Qian: ...This guy's sense of smell is quite sharp.

She is indeed a woman, but not the kind he was thinking of.

"Stop talking nonsense and tell me why you're looking for me."

Lu Zhaonan put away his teasing thoughts towards his friend and said, "Today, Tongyuan Tower opened, and both the Queen Zhao and Queen Jin went to congratulate. Do you know about this?"

I heard about it.

"Can you analyze which play they are singing?"

Xiao Qian pondered and said, "I heard that some time ago, Prince Jing arranged several people in the Ministry of Punishments, while Prince Zhao's people in the Ministry of Household were kicked out by Prince Jing. Prince Jing is pressuring Prince Zhao everywhere. A few days ago, there was a dispute between the Zhu family and the Lin family, which caused the Zhu family to lose face and also affected Prince Jing. Prince Zhao might be happy about this and deliberately sent his consort to congratulate in order to disgust Prince Jing. And Prince Jing took this opportunity to show his generosity and undo some of the negative impact. After all, the incident with Lady Qin from the Zhu family besieging the Lin family has caused public anger. Duke Ding'an passed away more than three years ago, but his reputation remains."

"Then they won't harm Lin Yannan, will they?"

"At the moment, unlikely." Because they don't believe that Lin Yannan can truly affect their future.

"Then there's nothing to worry about. Xiao Qian, I'll stay overnight at your place. It's more convenient than running around. I'm off to bed!" Lu Zhaonan waved his hand and went straight to the guest room, as if he were in his own home, feeling at ease.

Xiao Qian was speechless. Was the bed in the Pingnan Prince's residence not comfortable? Or were the servants there not capable of serving him? It's really annoying to have him come and rest here every three days or so, isn't it?

The next day, Lin Yannan Cheng arrived at Huimin Clinic. When Doctor Liu saw her, he came over to express his gratitude: "Good day, little brother. Thank you for helping me the other day. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to rest peacefully."

“刘大夫客气了，能为医馆出一份力是我所愿。”林晏晏微然道，要不是她有太多事要忙，她很愿意天天呆在这，享受治病救人的快乐。

"There are too few young people these days who are willing to help others without considering payment," Dr. Liu sighed. The Huimin Clinic only has him and Dr. Hu, but there are so many patients that the two of them can't handle the workload. Dr. Hu has applied to the medical authorities several times, hoping to have another doctor assigned here, but who would be willing to come to a place that exhausts people and pays so little?"

“What are you guys gossiping about there? Didn't you hear the patient calling for a doctor? Do I have three heads and six arms? Can I handle it if I'm too busy?" Upon exiting the ward, Hu Guangzhi saw Lao Liu and Zhen Rian standing in the courtyard chatting, and immediately glared at them.

Lin Yannan and Lao Liu exchanged smiles and quickly went back to their positions.

While assisting Hu Guangzhi, Lin Yannan was eagerly awaiting the arrival of Xiao Qian. Xiao Qian promised to come early at the appointed time. I hope he won't stand me up, right?

At the third quarter of the hour of 巳, Xiao Qian arrived on time at the Huimin Clinic.

Xiao Qian stopped Jin Yi, who was delivering medicine, and asked if Doctor Hu Guangzhi was available and requested to meet him to discuss important matters.

Jin Yi ran over to inform: "Doctor Hu, there is a young gentleman surnamed Xiao waiting for you outside."

胡广志正在给病人把脉，没好气道：“不相干的人，不见，没空。”

The surname is Xiao, so it must be Xiao Qian.

林晏晏道：“师父，您还是去看看吧，万一是来捐资的呢？若不是，您再赶他走也不迟。我来帮您把脉。”

虽然还没正式行拜师礼，但胡广志已经默许她叫师父了。

胡广志一听，有道理，上回甄日安捐了不少药，但医馆的药材消耗极大，支撑不了太久，若此人当真是来捐资的，那是要见一见的。
