The imperial physician from Qi came to Prince An's mansion again.

He has been coming more frequently these days because An Wan's condition is improving.

Just the day before yesterday, Prince An woke up.

He felt that the emperor still cared about His Royal Highness Prince An, and after hearing the news, he even rewarded him.

After taking the pulse, facing those concerned eyes, Imperial Physician Qi felt a sense of accomplishment when he said, "The prince is fine," as if he was the one who fought against the illness.

It's not easy for His Royal Highness Prince An to survive until now. His pulse is so weak that it's almost impossible to control. He had previously told the Emperor about Prince An's condition. He is at risk of dying young. I hope he can live a few more years!

When he went out, Imperial Physician Qi clearly felt that the strict guarding of Qiyun Courtyard had disappeared. With the awakening of Prince An, the guards withdrew and the servants also smiled.

Very good, very good!

He doesn't need to come here anymore!

After the Imperial Physician Qi left, Prince An's Mansion welcomed another guest.

The third prince!

The Third Prince brought many gifts this time. When he saw the pale Chu Jinxun, he blamed himself: "Fifth brother, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have to go through this dangerous situation. Although the people who beat you and the people behind the scenes have received the punishment they deserved, and the thieves on the streets near the Imperial Examination Hall have been cleared, but fifth brother, you have suffered!"

Chu Jinxun's eyes were clear: "My beating has nothing to do with Third Brother. I was just unlucky. Third Brother, don't take this responsibility on yourself!"

"Fifth brother, I hope you don't blame me. When I learned that you were unconscious, I was extremely worried, but I didn't want to cause you any trouble, so I came to see you today. You won't blame me, right?"

"Of course not. After all, Third Brother is the first one to come see me!"

The third prince laughed uncomfortably and changed the subject.

Chu Jinxun chatted with him from time to time.

They looked like brothers who were friendly and respectful to each other.

Suddenly, Chu Jinxun paused.

At the same time, the Third Prince also leaned forward: "What a nice smell!"

In the hall, a fragrance wafts into the air, the kind of clear and tempting food aroma.

Chu Jinxun's stomach growled at an inopportune moment.

The Third Prince took a deep sniff and then said with a smile, "Fifth Brother, what kind of delicious food are you cooking at home? It smells so good."

Chu Jinxun doesn’t know either!

Moreover, he did not order anyone to prepare food.

The Third Prince's eyes turned, and he suddenly smiled and said, "Fifth brother, I'm suddenly hungry. Do you mind if I have a meal here?"

"No...cough cough cough, don't mind!"

Chu Jinxun turned his head to look at Wu Yuxing.

Wu Yuxing was also confused: "I'll tell the kitchen to do it immediately!"

"Wait!" The Third Prince stopped him. "Why do we need to make it now when we have it ready?"

Wu Yuxing explained with an awkward smile, "This is the fragrance brought by the wind, not made in the kitchen of the mansion!"

The Third Prince was now even more interested: "Why don't we try smelling the aroma and finding delicious food?"

Chu Jinxun also felt a bit interested. The aroma was simply too tempting. He usually didn't pay much attention to his appetite, and because of his health, he had to eat many things he didn't like, so he didn't deserve to have a preference.

At this moment, I actually felt hungry.

The wind is blowing from the northeast, so the fragrance comes from the northeast.

Walking northeast from the front hall, it seems like we are heading towards Qiyun Courtyard.

Chu Jinxun lowered his head slightly, his eyes deepened, and he glanced at the third prince out of the corner of his eye.

Did he arrange this fragrance? Does he think Qiyunyuan has a secret?

The third prince was also looking at Chu Jinxun subtly.

I heard that the servants in this fifth brother's house are lax, but the Qiyun Courtyard where he lives is heavily guarded.

Is there some secret in Qiyunyuan? What exactly is this aroma? Is it really the aroma of food?

When you reach the fork in the road ahead, walk towards Qiyun Courtyard. The closer you get to the courtyard, the weaker the originally rich fragrance becomes.

Chu Jinxun stopped.

The Third Prince also stopped and smiled lightly: "It seems we've taken the wrong path. Fifth brother, where is that courtyard over there? Is it convenient to get there?"

Jing Feng beside him replied: "That is the courtyard where the princess lives."

Chu Jinxun pursed his lips and said to Wu Yuxing, "Is it convenient for me to ask the princess?"

Wu Yuxing responded and left.

The Third Prince laughed, "Fifth brother, the rumors outside that you and the princess live in separate courtyards are actually true. How can you two, newlyweds, be so unfamiliar with each other?"

Chu Jinxun was a little embarrassed: "Third brother, I am in such poor health. If we live together, what will happen if I pass my illness on to her? I'd rather not be a burden to her if I can!"

The Third Prince was startled. "Fifth brother, could it be that you and your sister-in-law haven't consummated your marriage yet?"

Asking about what goes on in the bedroom is a bit over the line, but as the conversation got to this point, his question was natural and didn't seem to have any ulterior motives.

Chu Jinxun blushed: "It's hard for me to walk, and where do I get the energy? Besides, I won't live long, so why should I drag her down with me?"

The Third Prince's expression was indescribable. "Fifth brother, you don't think that even if something happens to you, she can still marry someone else, right? She is the daughter-in-law of the royal family!"

"So what?" Chu Jinxun was silent for a moment before he said softly, "I've already written the divorce papers. If I die, she'll be free. She married me to bring good luck, and perhaps it wasn't her original intention. This is all I can do for her."

He was in a low mood, his voice was low, and a look of sadness passed across his face.

The third prince wanted to say something, but looking at his expression, he just sighed softly and patted him on the shoulder.

At this time, Wu Yuxing came back: "Your Highness, the princess invites you and the third prince to come over."

Chu Jinxun took a deep breath and walked towards Qingwu Courtyard with the third prince.

As soon as I entered the yard, a faint fragrance hit me in the face. Sure enough, I was in the right place. This was it.

The courtyard is decorated elegantly and exquisitely, and it can be seen that the owner is a woman of taste.

But at this moment, there was a grill there, surrounded by some fresh ingredients, including tender pieces of meat, green vegetables and plump mushrooms.

The charcoal fire was burning slightly under the grill, making a crackling sound, with sparks occasionally flying out. There were skewers of meat sizzling on the grill.

Break this tranquility and elegance.

No wonder it smells so good, it's the aroma of flowers and roasted meat mixed together.

In front of the grill, Yan Xining half-rolled up her sleeves, revealing her slender white arms. She flipped the skewers with her own hands and sprinkled seasoning on them, making the aroma even more intense.

The third prince was stunned.

This……

He couldn't describe what he saw.

A woman in light blue clothes, half of her white wrist, burning charcoal, fragrant food, bamboo sticks held in her delicate hands, and food roasted to a golden brown and greasy texture.

There is a flower garden on the side of her, and not far behind her is a tall tree. The worldly atmosphere is so intuitive and beautiful. The elegant and smart girl is so special and vivid!

Yan Xining heard footsteps, looked up and smiled.

This smile hit the Third Prince's heart hard. He felt his heart tremble violently and an indescribable feeling surged in his heart.
