晚上,林晏晏正准备安歇,听到窗外传来“咚”的声音。

"Who is it?" Jin Xin became alert.

She casually picked up the scissors from the sewing basket and went to the window to check.

“Jin Xin.”

“Miss, don't be afraid, let me go and check.”

“锦心,放下剪子,去把窗打开。”林晏晏知道是谁,上次这家伙也是走窗户。

"Miss..." Jin Xin looked at Miss in surprise. "

It's a friend, don't worry."

Jin Xin couldn't help but wonder, what kind of friend would knock on the window this late?

But she still followed Miss's words and went to open the window.

窗户一打开,一个人跳了进来。

锦心惊地差点没叫出声来,这不是十殿下吗?

“锦心,去外面守着。”林晏晏吩咐道。

Jin Xin looked at Tenth Prince and then at Miss, who seemed hesitant to speak. Worried, she left the room and closed the door.

It's not that she feared Tenth Prince would harm Miss, but rather, it was late at night and having a man and a woman alone together could damage Miss's reputation if word got out.

不,不会传出去的,也一定不能传出去,只要她守在这,不让任何人进去就行。

房中,林晏晏道:“我没有晚上喝茶的习惯,所以这里没有备茶,且这个时间也不宜让人送茶水过来。”

"No harm in it." Xiao Qian sat down, pretending to be calm.

其实他可以让封花传信,可以约她另外时间见面,可他在侯府外徘徊良久还是进来了。

他告诉自己,他来是有正经事儿与她说,可他没法欺骗自己的心,他就是想来,想见她,莫名其妙无法控制的想。

"What did my master say in response to you?" Lin Yannan asked.

“你师父说要考虑考虑,但这事比较着急,我说明晚之前等他答复。”

"He will agree."

"Did he tell you?"

林晏晏摇头:“没有直说,本来拜师礼定在十八,但你走后,他改了决定,明日就拜师,所以,我猜他心里已经有了答案。”

萧潜失笑:“居然还没拜师?”

林晏晏嗔他一眼:“我叫他师父,是他允许的,拜师不过是走个形式。”

萧潜道:“不过,你师父之所以会答应,是因为我给了他一个允诺。”

"What did you promise?"

Xiao Qian smiled as he looked at her. By now, she had taken off her hair accessories and let her long hair, as black as a waterfall, drape down. Under the lamp, her hair emitted a glossy black pearl-like sheen, adding a touch of softness. Her pair of black pupils shone like stars, exuding a hint of curiosity and exceptional liveliness. I would like to know what you promised.

"You."

"Me?"

“你的药膳方子让胡大夫赞不绝口,他要见你,并且与你合作才肯进宫给太后治病。”

林晏晏沉默,其实她是想在拜师的时候告知胡伯伯她的真实身份,不然就是欺师了。但她又怕胡伯伯知道她是侯府大小姐又不肯收她为徒,所以,今天她特意去找妙音法师,希望明日妙音法师能走一趟惠民医馆。只有妙音法师才能说动胡伯伯收下她,并且信任她。

而给太后治病这事儿,她本来不打算露面的。

"Did I make it difficult for you?" Xiao Qian saw her silence and couldn't help but feel apprehensive, uncertain if he had done something to upset her.

“你说呢?”林晏晏反问,他真是给她出了一道难题。

萧潜道:“你说要送一桩功劳给我和你师父,那为何自己不受这份功劳呢?治好了太后,以后你进宫就方便了,而且你的同源楼也将名声大振。”

If Hu Guangzhi didn't say he was 90% certain, he would have firmly prevented Lin Yannan from getting involved and taking risks.

"Don't say that you care so much about the Empress Dowager's illness, but you have no intention of finding the backing of this Empress Dowager."

Lin Yannan candidly said, "I do have such thoughts, but... I don't think the Emperor would agree to let me treat the Empress Dowager, after all, I am not a doctor."

She is different from Uncle Hu, who is one of the top doctors in the Imperial Medical Hospital. Naturally, the Emperor trusts Uncle Hu's medical skills. So, she intends to hide behind the scenes.

萧潜低眉哂笑:“让胡广志举荐你不就行了?”

“这桩功劳,我们都有份,如何?”

Lin Yannan pondered for a moment, then took a pen and wrote down an address, "Come to this place tomorrow before dawn."

"Where is this?"

"Hu Guangzhi's house, just near the medical clinic. Don't come too early. I hope my apprenticeship ceremony goes smoothly. Don't ruin it, or I'll hold you accountable."

萧潜乖乖点头,心里却想着,她如果要找他算账,这本账会如何算?

谈妥了这件事,林晏晏记挂起北狄细作:“那个杨四查到了吗?”

“幸亏你提醒,我去调了郭永利的履历,然后发现他有个同乡叫杨奎的,两人一起入伍,曾在郑培鑫麾下效力,后来,郑培鑫去了北境,郭永利留在了京中当了守城侍卫统领,而杨奎去了鄂州,在军中任副尉,我已经派人前往鄂州秘密捉拿杨奎。”

"Ezhou is far away, can we make it in time to bring the person back before the Empress Dowager's birthday?"

萧潜忍不住伸手刮了下她的鼻子:“傻丫头,你不知道有八百里加急吗?”

This sudden intimate gesture caught her off guard. The cool touch of his fingertips brushed against the tip of her nose, spreading a ripple-like sensation. That dizziness, the symptoms of an accelerated heartbeat, resurfaced again. Lin Yannan stared blankly at him.

萧潜是做了个这个动作才发现自己干了什么好事儿,他就那么下意识的把手伸了出去,糟糕,她会不会觉得他是个轻浮的人?

"Uh... I actually have something to do, so I'll leave now. I'll definitely be here on time tomorrow." Xiao Qian jumped out of the window and made a hasty escape.

Lin Yanyan looked at the cold night outside the window and touched her nose. It seems like she blushed just now!

Xiao Qian just left the Marquis's mansion when someone behind him jokingly remarked, "How was your midnight rendezvous, and what did you gain?"

Xiao Qian halted and turned around, saying, "Don't talk nonsense. We were discussing important matters."

Fenghua emerged from the shadows, smiling and said, "I didn't say that what you were doing wasn't a legitimate job!"

She had decided to finish her work after Miss Lin's bedroom lights went out, but she ended up witnessing Tenth Prince climbing through Miss Lin's window like a flower thief.

Xiao Qian said solemnly, "Stop thinking too much and don't speak recklessly."

"I understand. Since we've encountered this, I'll report the situation while I'm at it."

"Speak."

“今儿个下午她出了趟城,去了静慈庵,见了个叫妙音的法师,不过,说什么我就不清楚了,你也知道她这人机敏的很,不好跟的太近。”

"Got it, you can also go back and rest. She probably won't go out again." Xiao Qian disappeared into the night after a few ups and downs.
