In the afternoon, the sunlight sprinkled on the delicate window lattices, forming a pattern of interlaced light and shadow. In the antique room, Yan Lingxiao sat beside Feng Yanan's bed, holding a bowl of steaming medicine in his hands. His brows revealed deep concern and tenderness, and his eyes never left Feng Yanan's pale face.

Feng Yanan lay quietly on the bed. Although her face was pale, her closed eyes revealed a bit of tenacity and vitality. Her hair was scattered on the pillow, like a breeze in an ink painting.

Yan Lingxiao gently adjusted the quilt on Feng Yanan to make sure she wouldn't catch a cold. He lowered his head and sniffed the medicine in the bowl. After confirming that the temperature was just right, he carefully helped Feng Yanan up.

He scooped up a spoonful of dark brown medicine and gently brought it to Feng Yanan's lips. His movements were gentle and delicate.

Although Feng Yanan's face was pale, she smelled the medicine and slowly opened her eyes. Looking at Yan Lingxiao in front of her, a hint of stubbornness flashed in her eyes.

"Your Highness, I can drink by myself. I'm not paralyzed and can't move." Although Feng Yanan's voice was weak, it was firm and unquestionable.

Yan Lingxiao frowned slightly, his eyes full of worry and pampering: "You are weak, let me feed you."

Feng Yanan shook her head slightly and tried to sit up. However, her weak body made her movements seem a little laborious. Seeing this, Yan Lingxiao immediately stepped forward to support her, with a trace of heartache in his eyes.

"Nannan, be obedient." Yan Lingxiao's voice was gentle but firm. He picked up the medicine bowl again, scooped up a spoonful of dark brown medicine and brought it to Feng Yanan's lips.

Feng Yanan looked at the medicine in front of her with a frown on her face. She knew the bitterness of the medicine, but she also knew Yan Lingxiao's care and love. Under Yan Lingxiao's gaze, she opened her lips and swallowed the spoonful of medicine. The bitter taste spread in her mouth, causing her to frown.

"It's so bitter..." Feng Yanan complained softly.

Yan Lingxiao looked at her frowning brows and felt distressed. He took out a small paper bag from his arms and gently opened it, revealing the crystal clear candies inside.

"Come on! Eating candy will make you bitter." Yan Lingxiao spoke gently as if coaxing a child, and handed the candy to Feng Yanan's lips.

Feng Yanan looked at the candy in his hand, with a hint of surprise in her eyes. She didn't expect Yan Lingxiao to be so thoughtful and even prepared candy to counteract the bitterness of the medicine. She opened her mouth slightly and took the candy.

The candy melted in her mouth, and the sweet taste immediately diluted the bitterness of the medicine. Feng Yanan smiled, and it would be a lie to say that she was not touched at all.

Xiaohong also knew that the young lady had woken up, and she wanted to go and see her. But Yan Lingxiao stayed by Feng Yanan's side all the time, so she had no chance to see Feng Yanan.

After Prince Yan Wuji came out of Lin Shengyang’s study.

He knew that Feng Yanan was Feng Shengrui's beloved daughter. If Feng Shengrui knew that his daughter had been wronged in the Zhan Palace, he would be furious. At that time, the relationship between Feng Shengrui and Yan Lingxiao would become tense, which would be a rare opportunity for Yan Wuji.

He was thinking that if he could take this opportunity to win over Feng Shengrui and get him to stand on his side in the court, it would undoubtedly help him in his future succession to the throne. So Yan Wuji decided to go to the general's mansion in person to talk to Feng Shengrui.

He changed into a proper robe, took a few followers with him, and hurried to the general's mansion.

Not long after, Yan Wuji's carriage arrived at the general's mansion. After getting off the carriage, he straightened his robe, took a deep breath, and stepped into the gate of the general's mansion.

Yan Wuji stepped into the gate of the general's mansion, and was greeted by a solemn and dignified atmosphere. The guards in the mansion were dressed in armor, with long swords on their waists, and their eyes were sharp. They were obviously well-trained elites. When they saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince coming, they were stunned at first, and then they immediately saluted and saluted, showing their highest respect and loyalty.

Yan Wuji nodded slightly, indicating that they didn't need to be polite, and then walked straight to Feng Shengrui's study. Along the way, the courtyard scenery in the general's mansion, with towering ancient trees and clusters of flowers, was so familiar, peaceful and harmonious. However, he had no time to appreciate these beautiful scenery, and only thought about how to talk to Feng Shengrui.

When he arrived at the door of the study, a servant came forward to salute and announce. Not long after, the door of the study slowly opened, and Feng Shengrui came out in person. When he saw Yan Wuji coming, he showed a surprised expression on his face, but then he regained his composure and warmly invited Yan Wuji to enter the study.

The study was decorated in a simple and elegant style, with bookshelves filled with all kinds of books and scrolls, showing Feng Shengrui's profound knowledge. After the two sat down as host and guest, Yan Wuji stated his purpose straight away. He first expressed his concern and condolences to Feng Yanan, and then tactfully asked about Feng Yanan's recent situation in the Zhan Palace.

When Feng Shengrui heard his daughter's name, a trace of worry and anger flashed in his eyes. He said in a deep voice: "There have been frequent incidents in the capital recently, and Yanan is timid. The Zhan Wang felt sorry for Yanan, so he took her to the Zhan Wang Mansion to stay for a few days. Your Highness the Crown Prince didn't come here just for this little thing today, did he?"

Seeing this, Yan Wuji knew that Feng Shengrui trusted Yan Lingxiao very much. . He pretended to be casual and said: "It's nothing! It's just that the general also knows that the 15th of August is a special occasion for the War King. Isn't this prince afraid that the War King will harm Sister Yanan? So I came to check with the general about the situation."
