Two more days passed this way.

With intravenous fluids at night and oral medication during the day, Chu Jinnian’s health was visibly improving.

Once the infusion was fully completed, and he only needed to take oral antidotes afterward, Chu Jinnian’s complexion was comparable to that of an ordinary person. He could even get out of bed to have his meals and take walks in the courtyard.

After about ten days, not only had Chu Jinnian’s health greatly improved, but he could also carry out all his activities, even practicing his martial arts in the courtyard in the morning. The power in his punches was returning to its previous intensity.

Seeing this, Chu Yunzhao was filled with deep emotion, “Everyone says that recovery from illness is gradual, like unwinding silk. Although you were poisoned, you should have also spent a few months nursing your health to recover, but now, in just a few days, you’re full of life and vigor.”

“That is the result of Miss Zhuang’s superb medical skills,” said Chu Jinnian, raising his eyebrows.

I fear it’s not just that.

Chu Yunzhao smirked.

It probably had more to do with Zhuang Qingning being by his side, caring for him every day, which brought joy to Chu Jinnian’s heart and hence sped up his recovery.

Love might appear simple, but its power is truly infinite.

During this period, Chu Jinnian and Zhuang Qingning, with their actions, had inadvertently caused some harm to him and Jing Zhao’s health, especially their stomachs.

However, since Chu Jinnian had mentioned Zhuang Qingning’s medical skills…

Chu Yunzhao nodded, “Indeed, Miss Zhuang’s medical skills are truly remarkable. She was able to bring the dying back to life; she can be considered a divine doctor. It is indeed thanks to Miss Zhuang. When I return to the capital, I will report this to the emperor and request a reward for her achievements.”

During this time, Chu Yunzhao probably had a good understanding of Zhuang Qingning’s situation. Even though she was smart, beautiful, and elegant—comparable even superior to the high-ranking noblewomen in the capital, her birthplace was no more than an ordinary farmer’s home.

Although Chu Yunzhao knew that Chu Jinnian wouldn’t care about these things, and that even the Empress Dowager and imperial concubine would not interfere too much, these facts would still attract gossip, even malicious remarks from outsiders.

Being an ideal couple, they should not let these trivial matters affect their mood. The acknowledgment of her deeds would improve Zhuang Qingning’s status which was a lot better than her original position.

Chu Jinnian understood his intention, and simply nodded, “You’ve got a point, Fourth Prince. I appreciate if you could praise Zhuang Qingning in front of the emperor.”

“Please also convey my message to the Empress Dowager and imperial concubine, to assure them that I am well and there is no need for them to worry.”

“Alright…” Chu Yunzhao agreed readily, but felt that something was odd, he looked at Chu Jinnian in surprise. “From what you said, it seems like you’re not planning on returning to the capital?”

“I don’t recall ever mentioning that I plan to return to the capital.”

Chu Jinnian sipped the almond tea Zhuang Qingning had specially prepared for him and answered pensively, “You said earlier that recovering from an illness is like unwinding silk. Since I was deeply poisoned, I naturally need to recuperate for a while to fully recover.”

Recuperate, my foot!

Look at how energetic and lively you are now. Do you need to recuperate?

You could probably kill a horse with your bare hands. And you still need to recuperate?

Obviously, you’re just looking for an excuse to slack off and avoid going back to the capital! As for the reason behind this…

Never mind!

“So, how long do you need to recuperate?” Chu Yunzhao asked, his mouth twitching.

“This kind of deep poisoning, the decontamination process is complex; if it’s fast, it might take three months, if it’s slow, about half a year,” Chu Jinnian raised his eyebrows, glanced at Chu Yunzhao, and answered with a smile.

“Half a year?” Chu Yunzhao, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, sprang up, “Isn’t that a little too long?”

“Then, make it a year,” said Chu Jinnian.

Chu Yunzhao, “…”

“Never mind, never mind. You say it’s half a year, then it’s half a year,” Chu Yunzhao gave up and waved his hand, “The emperor probably won’t say anything about it either.”

Although Chu Jinnian worked at the Ministry of Justice and had a lot of responsibilities, and a lot of things rested on his shoulders, but this time, Chu Jinnian was poisoned because he saved Chu Yunzhao. Such selflessness deserved gratitude. Morally and emotionally, they would not begrudge him resting for a year or so.

“But the Empress Dowager and Concubine Hui might worry a lot. If they send people to visit you, I won’t stop them.”

“If Concubine Hui and the Empress Dowager send someone, that would be perfect,” Chu Jinnian laughed, “Haven’t the Empress Dowager and Concubine Hui always been concerned about my marriage? This would be a great opportunity to see and report back to them.”

Chu Yunzhao, “…”

So, he had even though this thing through. No wonder why he seemed to be at ease.

It seemed that he really couldn’t be persuaded. Let him be.

Chu Yunzhao sighed in his heart and completely gave up on persuading Chu Jinnian to return to the capital.

“You’ve been talking about returning to the capital for a long time, which reminds me…”

Chu Jinnian put down his teacup and grinned, “Anyway, in this situation, I saved the Fourth Prince’s life. Shouldn’t the Fourth Prince reciprocate somehow?”

“Of course,” Chu Yunzhao nodded, took a sip of his tea, and said, “Whatever Prince Jinnian wants, just say so.”

“I heard that in the capital, you own two shops…”

Chu Yunzhao, “…”

“They’re yours, all yours!” Chu Yunzhao’s response was through gritted teeth.

He was speechless. For such a great favor of saving his life, Chu Jinnian only thought about trading it for some shop properties!

“I am very grateful to the Fourth Prince,” Chu Jinnian smiled and bowed.

Seeing Chu Jinnian looking triumphant and happy at getting the shops, Chu Yunzhao almost rolled his eyes up in annoyance.

After staying here for a few more days and seeing Chu Jinnian’s health improving, Chu Yunzhao led the others back to the capital city to report to Chu Shengrui.

Chu Jinnian did not linger here either, and immediately returned with Zhuang Qingning.

Since the Dragon Boat Festival was over, it was the perfect season for wheat to ripen. On their way home, they saw many people busy in the wheat fields, sweating profusely, harvesting the golden grain.

When both of them returned to Qingzhuyuan, Chu Jinzhou, Fan Wenxuan, and Zhuang Mingli were in the courtyard. They had the sun-dried wheat in their hands, rubbing them on a board to separate the grains from the ears.

It goes without saying that this was definitely Fan Wenxuan’s idea.

He always emphasized that studying shouldn’t be divorced from practical life. This time, he probably wanted Chu Jinzhou to experience the life of farming and studying.

Chu Jinnian and Zhuang Qingning were not surprised at the scene before them.

However, Fan Wenxuan and Chu Jinzhou were startled at Chu Jinnian and Zhuang Qingning’s return.

It wasn’t their sudden arrival that puzzled them, but the fact the two had arrived together.
