Mu Yunyao's gaze swept across the crowded people on both sides of the river. Hearing Jin Lan's words, she took a sip from her teacup, "I only bought these flowers to show my support, just randomly throw them in."

"En!" Jin Qiao happily responded. Then, she carried the pearl flower downstairs and put it into the appropriate box.

Suddenly, the citizens' cheers were heard. A horn sounded out, and drums sounded out. Like arrows that had left the bowstring, one dragon boat after another charged forward.

Such a lively atmosphere could infect people the most. The commoners cheered, and even the private rooms upstairs that were specially used to entertain guests occasionally let out a burst of cheers.

The drumbeats became more and more concentrated. There were even some people who couldn't resist running along the bank of the river after the dragon boat. For a time, there was a steady stream of people moving shoulder to shoulder.

Seeing how the dragon boat continued to compete with each other, the atmosphere became more and more heated. Suddenly, a cry of surprise sounded out from the crowd.

The cheers from the crowd were too loud, so the exclamation was not very obvious. At the beginning, it did not attract much attention, but what happened next completely exceeded everyone's expectations.

Some people fell to the ground, and the stream of people became crowded. No one knew who stepped on who, and those who hit who. Amidst the chaos, many civilians who did not react in time were pushed into the water by the crowd.

At the beginning, there weren't many people and many people were shouting that someone had fallen into the water, so it shouldn't be crowded. However, they didn't expect that the more they shouted, the more the crowd behind them started to crowd into chaos. Mu Yunyao involuntarily stood up. The cheers from the surroundings had already turned into anxious cries for help, some people ran towards the shore to save them, some people tried to escape from the river bank, but they were pushed down. The crowd collided with each other, and the number of people injured by their stomps, pushed into the water, and even quite a number of children were thrown into the water …

He pushed his way through.

Jin Lan and Jin Qiao covered their mouths to prevent themselves from exclaiming. They didn't expect that the magnificent scene just now had turned into a disaster in the blink of an eye.

Mu Yunyao furrowed her brows. Seeing that the imperial guards had rushed over, evacuating the civilians and rushing into the river to save them, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

The Dragon Boat Competition had been stopped. The boatmen on the dragon boat jumped into the water one by one to save others. Being able to be chosen to participate in the competition was due to them having a strong body and being proficient in swimming.

Mu Yunyao turned to look at Jin Lan. "Get someone to notify the Poison Matriarch and contact a group of doctors to help save her." At this time, it wasn't appropriate for her to show her face. The Lady Poison was in charge of many medicine halls and clinics, so it was most appropriate for her to do so.

"Yes." After such a huge incident, the Dragon Boat Competition naturally couldn't continue any further. After the streets were mostly quiet, Mu Yunyao sat in the carriage and left. However, when she returned to her residence, she waited until nightfall but did not see King Yue return. She felt a bit uneasy and instructed Eunuch Cheng to investigate outside.

He could only find out that King Yue had been summoned into the palace with an unknown specific situation.

The sky darkened and the sky became clear. At night, a sudden clap of thunder could be heard, followed by the sudden arrival of a heavy rain.

Mu Yunyao stood at the foot of the corridor, looking at the torrential rain. She slightly frowned, her eyes filled with worry.

She held up her umbrella and ran over quickly. "Princess, Yu Yi requests an audience."

Mu Yunyao hurriedly turned her head, "Let him come over."

"Yes."

Yu Yi, who was completely drenched, had an unsightly expression on his face when he saw Mu Yunyao hurriedly kneel down and pay his respects. In the blink of an eye, a puddle of water formed on the ground as rain dripped down his clothes, "Reporting to the consort, the prince has sent news that he was punished by the emperor to kneel in the palace. He will only be out of the palace in two hours."

Mu Yunyao slightly pursed her lips as a serious expression flashed in her eyes, "I got it, you can go down and clean it up."

"Yes."

"Young mistress..." Jin Lan stepped forward and held onto Mu Yunyao's arm, "There's still one more hour. Go to your room and wait. The wind in the corridor is strong, and if you're not feeling well, your highness will definitely be worried."

Mu Yunyao turned around and returned to her room, "Have the kitchen prepare some ginger soup. Although the weather is hot, after soaking in the night rain, you still have to go to the cold air. Also, inform Eunuch Cheng and control everyone in the manor.

"Yes."

After anxiously waiting for more than two hours, they finally heard movement from outside. Mu Yunyao hurriedly stood up to welcome him.

Duke Yue was supported by Yu Heng and Yu Yi, while Eunuch Cheng stood by his side, holding up an umbrella. The wind was strong, and the oil-paper umbrella was useless. All of them were drenched in the rain.

Seeing that Mu Yunyao was about to come out, the Winged King hurriedly spoke up to stop her, "Yao`er, don't move. Just let Yu Heng and Yu Yi help me pass. It's raining heavily, don't get wet."

Mu Yunyao completely ignored King Yue's words as she stepped forward and helped him into the room. As she asked Jin Lan to get a cloth, she also waved Yu Heng and the others to help him take off his clothes.

King Yue lowered his head to look at her tense face, his gaze softening. "Yao'er, it's alright."

Mu Yunyao raised her head and glared at him, her hands moving nonstop.

Jinlan and Jinqiao put down the cloth and retreated with their heads lowered.

Mu Yunyao took off half of her clothes and wiped them dry with a cloth. After that, she rushed him to the bed and took out some dry clothes for him to change into before reaching out her hand to take his pulse.

Duke Yue allowed Mu Yunyao to arrange everything as she wished, and there was a smile on his lips the entire time, as if he was cooperating extremely well: "Yao`er, I've made you worry."

"Your Majesty really punished you to kneel in the palace for more than two hours?" After checking his pulse, she discovered that his pulse was stable and there were no major problems, so she finally opened her mouth to ask.

Yue Yang nodded and winked at her: "Didn't I say it earlier? "I have to lure the north and let them know that I want to rebel against the emperor. If that's the case, some physical suffering will be inevitable."

After finding out that King Yue had been punished, Mu Yunyao could guess that this was both his and the emperor's plan. She knew that even though she had seen his sorry state, she still felt a great deal of heartache, "If you don't ruthlessly screw over the northern border this time, I'll really let you down."

King Yue smiled and reached out to hold Mu Yunyao. He discovered that her clothes were a little wet and hurriedly helped her remove her outer garment. "Yao`er, I was punished to kneel and get drenched. I'm feeling extremely uncomfortable right now and need your good care."

Mu Yunyao unhappily glared at him. "How does Fourth Master need to take care of this?"

"This... It's too cold, Yao'er, please warm my bed first. " It had been several days since he had hugged his own princess to sleep. Now that he had found the chance, no matter what he said, he would not go to the study room to sleep.

Mu Yunyao reached into the blanket and immediately pinched the flesh on Yue Wang's waist. She pinched it vigorously, "I need to find something good to warm Fourth Master's bed." As he finished speaking, he ignored the bared teeth and asked Jin Lan and Jin Qiao to bring over two Sweets, one from the left and one from the right, and he stuffed them into the blanket for Yue Yang. It was already summer, and it was already very hot. Adding on his Qi to protect his body, this amount of rain did not count for much. After coming back and changing his clothes, he quickly recovered.
