A few days later.

There is a waterfall on the mountain behind the palace. Under the waterfall there is a stream that gurgles and sparkles in the sun.

"Second brother, look, there are so many fish over there!"

By the stream, Murong Nan looked at the fish swimming in the stream, his face full of excitement.

Murong Ye looked in the direction of his finger and saw fish gathered in groups of three or five in the stream.

"Fifth brother, the fish here are very fat and delicious. Let's go fishing here."

"it is good!"

Murong Nan excitedly took out the fishhook and set the bait.

After a while, his hook moved.

He pulled up the hook with all his strength, and sure enough, he saw a fish weighing three or four pounds hanging on it. "Second brother, I caught a big fish!"

He swung the fish in his hand's tail vigorously, splashing water all over his face.

"Ouch!" Murong Nan raised his sleeve and tried to wipe the water droplets off his face.

At this moment, Murong Ye seized the opportunity and shot out the stone hidden in his fingertips.

The stone hit Murong Nan's knee.

"Ouch!"

Murong Nan was caught off guard, his foot slipped, and he and the fish fell into the stream together.

Pfft!

After he fell into the water, Murong Ye rushed to the stream and pretended to be concerned, "Fifth brother, are you okay?"

Murong Nan stood up from the stream. The water was not deep, only reaching his knees.

He curled his lips, looking regretful, "I'm fine, but the big fish I caught with great difficulty got away."

Murong Ye stretched out his hand towards him, "Come, I'll pull you up. If you run out of fish, you can catch more. Your clothes are soaked, I'll take you back to change clothes first."

Murong Nan took his hand and climbed ashore, nonchalantly replying, "It's so hot, it doesn't matter if you wear wet clothes. I haven't had enough fishing yet, so I don't want to go back."

They had finally come to the back mountain, and Murong Nan wanted to play for a while longer.

Murong Yejun's face turned serious, and he acted like a brother. "Fifth brother, the wind is strong in the mountains. If you catch a cold, you will not only have to stay in bed for several days, but also drink medicine that is more bitter than coptis root. Are you sure you can endure it?"

Murong Nan shook his head decisively, "No, I'm not afraid of anything except hardship."

"Then come back with me and change into dry clothes. I remember there's an empty yard behind the palace, not far from here. Wait for me in the yard and I'll get you some clean clothes. It won't take long."

"Okay, I'll listen to Second Brother!"

Murong Ye patted Murong Nan's shoulder with relief, "That's right!"

He didn't use much force, but Murong Nan suddenly gasped, "Hiss! It hurts, it hurts..."

Seeing this, Murong Ye immediately pulled open his clothes and saw a bruise on his shoulder. "Fifth brother, you are injured!"

"Just now when I fell into the stream, I was scraped by a rock on the shore. It's just a minor injury."

"Come on, while you change your clothes, I'll take a look at your injuries."

Murong Nan's clothes were wet and his shoulders were aching slightly, so he really couldn't continue fishing.

So he carried his fishing rod and followed Murong Ye back.

The two went to the Fenglai Courtyard that Murong Ye mentioned.

Although this yard is idle, someone has been cleaning it. There is not a trace of dust inside, and it is quiet and peaceful.

Murong Nan was soaked to the skin, and it was indeed not very elegant to walk on the road like this. "Second brother, do you know where I put my clothes...ah, ah——"

Before Murong Nan could finish his words, he sneezed loudly.

Murong Ye pointed at the bed behind him and said to him, "Fifth brother, take off your wet clothes first. I will carefully check the injury on your shoulder for you."

"it is good."

Fenglai Courtyard is quiet and secluded. There is no one else here except the two brothers.

Murong Nan didn't hesitate. He untied his belt and quickly took off his clothes.

Murong Ye looked at the bruise on his shoulder and said to him, "Luckily it's just a superficial wound. I'll help you apply some medicine."

After saying that, Murong Ye took out the ointment he had prepared in advance and applied it to all the bruises.

Murong Nan turned his head and pinched his nose when he smelled the pungent smell of medicine. "Wow! This ointment smells so strong!"

Murong Ye flicked his forehead with his finger, as if still treating him like a child. "You, you think the medicine is bitter when you drink it, and you think the ointment smells bad when you apply it. If you have the ability, why don't you get hurt?"

Murong Nan listened to Murong Ye's doting yet helpless tone and said to him, "Second brother, today was just an accident. I will never let myself get hurt again!"

"You, take good care of yourself. Don't let my mother and I worry about you." Murong Ye finished applying the ointment for him and gave him a few more instructions. "Don't run around here. I'll be back soon."

Murong Nan nodded, "I know, I'm not a three-year-old child."

"Yeah, in my heart, he's still the little Lao Wu who follows me around like a little tail all day long!"

Murong Ye smiled and touched his head. When he turned around, he glanced at the pots of ylang-ylang flowers in full bloom by the windowsill, and his eyes narrowed involuntarily.

After leaving the room, he closed the doors and windows tightly.

Murong Nan looked at the closed doors and windows and muttered quietly, "Second Brother really treats me like a child. He even closed the doors and windows tightly for me."

He was alone in the room, bored. He turned his head and saw several pots of golden flowers blooming by the window. He walked over and lowered his head to sniff a few times, "These flowers are blooming beautifully and smell so good."

However, as he smelled it, his forehead gradually became hot.

A wave of heat came out of nowhere, making his whole body hot.

Finished!

Could it be that he really has caught a cold?

……

On the other side, Xue Youli was taking Banxia for a walk in the garden.

When they turned around, they saw Erxi running towards them with an anxious look on his face.

"Not good! Not good!"

Xue Youli looked at her sweaty appearance and couldn't help asking, "Erxi, what's wrong?"

"Lady Xue, please go and save my princess! She broke her leg and is still in the Laifeng Courtyard not far from the back mountain!"

Xue Youli's heart tightened when she heard that Chu Xinyue was injured. "She was fine, how could she have broken her leg?"

Erxi hurriedly said, "The princess sneaked off to the back mountain to look for game, saying she wanted to make you a delicious meal, but ended up falling!"

Xue Youli knew that Chu Xinyue was a foodie, but she didn't expect that she would dare to run to the back mountain alone just for food.

Even if there are royal guards guarding the palace all year round, there are still poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts in these deep mountains and forests.

Xue Youli was worried about Chu Xinyue's injury, but didn't think much about it. "Erxi, lead the way quickly. I'll go see how badly she's hurt!"

"Yes!" Erxi led them towards the back mountain.

When the three of them rushed to Fenglai Courtyard, they suddenly heard a crisp "pop" sound coming from the yard.

Then, a painful scream reached their ears, "Ah!!!"

The three of them paused, recognizing the voice, "This is the Fifth Prince's voice!"
