Three Mafia Girls
The Fourth Prince's

Xiao Yan who was about to leave the palace was stopped by a woman wearing a golden robe like the Emperor's.

"what's this? you're going without seeing me?" asked the woman who stood one meter away opposite Xiao Yan.

"don't say that, grandma." Xiao Yan said.

"how's grandma doing?" he continued while hugging the woman warmly.

"because you're good, I'm also good." the woman replied patting Xiao Yan's back gently.

"sorry to disturb the time of the queen mother, healer Lin is waiting" said a female servant who gave the news by bending her body.

Xiao Yan suddenly took off the hug and looked at the face of the woman he was holding, "grandmother lied, tell the truth" he said with concern.

The woman did not answer but instead pulled him along with her to meet the physician Lin in the queen mother's room.

"greet the queen mother and the fourth prince" said healer Lin who saluted by staring at the two who walked side by side.

"how are you and the angel healer?" the queen mother asked the physician Lin while sitting on her bed.

Physician Lin smiled faintly at the question while preparing the needles for acupuncture, "me and him are good." he replied.

The angel physician in question is Aqira. She saved the life of her mother when her asthma relapsed at a flower festival four years ago. After that Aqira was offered to work in the palace but she refused, she preferred to open her own medicine to treat people who needed medical help. But the queen mother who felt indebted to him could only give him a token in and out of the palace to make it easier for him to find medicinal ingredients outside the palace.

"what are the patients in the clinic a lot?" ask the queen again.

"according to the words of the queen mother." replied physician Lin who started acupuncture treatment.

Xiao Yan sat down on the chair next to the queen mother bed while waiting for the acupuncture to be completed. Half an hour had passed and healer Lin finished performing her acupuncture to the queen mother.

"how's grandma doing?" xiao Yan asked physician Lin.

Physician Lin closed the box containing medicinal herbs and other medical devices and replied, "the health of the queen mother is getting better."

"in that case, I'll excuse you first." he continued, saluting the queen mother while leaving the room.

"let physician Lin, and give this to the angel healer." the Queen mother ordered Xiao Yan.

"well, grandma." said Xiao Yan who received the bag containing the fragrance as he hurried to follow physician Lin.

"there is no need to be formal" Xiao Yan told physician Lin as he was about to cross the crowd of women awaiting his arrival.

"but prince…"

"call A Yan." interrupted Xiao Yan to stop Physician Lin mispronouncing as he crossed the crowd.

"alright, A Yan."

The two walked out of the palace towards the ChuLin clinic. Arriving there, the clinic was deserted because all the patients had been treated. Finally physician Lin hosted Xiao Yan at his clinic.

"sorry there is only water" said healer Lin who serves water in bamboo.

"it should be me who apologizes for bothering you." Xiao Yan accepted happily.

Xiao Yan put down the pouch given by his grandmother, "oh yes, this is a pouch on the grandmother for.." his lips paused for a moment thinking of something, "the angel's aunt." he continued who was confused by his own words.

After giving that, Xiao Yan bid his farewell leaving the clinic. As he was halfway through the journey, he stopped seeing the girl with her face covered in mud cleaning the mud-clogged sewers while being helped by the locals.

"yeahh.the water is no longer clogged" said one of the cheering children.

"thank you physician Chu." timpal the teenage girl clasping Aqira's hand.

"don't say that, it's all thanks to your cooperation." said Aqira in a soft tone.

"alright, you have to change clothes immediately, or later it will hurt" he continued, telling others.

The residents disbanded and returned to their homes, as did Aqira, she rushed back to her home.

At the door of the house, he looked around before stepping inside.

Kriekk. Once he arrived in the room he immediately took off his clothes while cleaning the mud that was stuck on his body.

After that he soaked warm water in the tub with his hair unraveled. Sangking comfortable soaking that he did not feel the water had become cold since then.

"why so dirty?" muttered physician Lin who had just returned from the clinic looking at the traces of the slumpled mud.

He followed the trail until he ended up in Aqira's room. Twice he knocked on the door but there was no answer from inside.

"if he hasn't come back, then whose trail is this?"

Physician Lin decided to go inside to make sure no strangers entered. Until the pirated trail turns into the footprints of a woman.

"who is this really?"

Physician Lin reached the front of the border where the bathroom was. His hand was still reluctant to open that border because he did not want anything unexpected to happen because he opened that border.

This man is on the verge of confusion between entering or not. When his determination was full to open the border, suddenly someone came out from inside.

"do you need anything?" aqira asked with her wet hair unraveled and wearing thin white clothes.

Physician Lin suddenly turned his back to Aqira, "I thought there was a stranger coming in" he said.

"then I'll go." he continued, walking near the door, "and yes, clean up all the stains" he added before stepping through the door.

"alright." said Aqira walking towards the changing room to change her clothes.

Meanwhile on the other hand Xiao Yan arrived at the Tanyang restaurant to meet someone there.

"how's it going in camp?" xiao Yan asked a man who was sitting at a table with him.

"yesterday there was an intruder who broke through the camp, but the soldiers managed to catch him" the man replied.

"how master? are we going back to camp?" continued.

"i will be staying in the palace for a while, three more days is my grandmother's birthday, I don't want to let her down." Xiao Yan said as he drank his tea.

"you hold him down before I get back, Weiqi." he added.

"well, Weiqi will do her best." said the man as he left the table.

Weiqi, the warrior as well as Xiao Yan's right hand. He was the vice general at once who held the training of the shadow soldiers belonging to Xiao Yan

"somehow why.. I felt that there was something interesting from Grandma's birthday." Xiao Yan inner as he looked at Weiqi walking away from the restaurant.
