This was undoubtedly what all the commoners looked forward to from the bottom of their hearts, especially those affected by the disaster. Dragon boats played a huge role in calming the hearts of the people.

At the thought of this, the deputy said meaningfully, “It’s all thanks to Eldest

Princess Shaoyi that the government avoided a lot of trouble.”

There was a saying among the commoners: When the King of Hell pointed his finger, the little ghosts would be so tired that they would eat sh*t.

The palace opened its mouth and pointed its finger. With an order from the Imperial Court, regardless of whether it was difficult or not, even if the sky fell, the people below had to give an explanation.

The Liaodong area was indeed vast and abundant. It was able to accommodate millions of refugees.

However, millions of refugees rushed into Liaodong at once, causing a huge impact on the culture, folklore, life, supplies, and so on in the Liaodong area. Previously, when the refugees were in the camp, with King Yue Fei around, most of them were obedient.

However, after the refugees were settled down, the government offices had to step in to resolve the food, shelter, and transportation matters. There were more than a million refugees, and the various government offices were even more overwrought and exhausted.

There were endless conflicts of all scales among the refugees, and between the refugees and the natives.

Disputes due to their habits and customs had never stopped.

Now that they had spent a lot of effort to hold the Dragon Boat Festival, most of the future troubles could be resolved. Why shouldn’t the government be happy?!

Just as the various government offices in Liaodong were arranging the dragon boat race with great fanfare—

Far away in Longcheng, Yin Huaixi had received Yin Shi’s message. After making new arrangements and deployments for the camp, he finally rushed back to Xiangping City on the fourth of May.

When she saw Yin Huaixi, for some reason, Yu Youyao thought of the secret marriage decree that had been sent with warning and the reward.

She suddenly realized that the man in front of her, who had accompanied her as she grew up and was her teacher and brother in her heart, would continue to accompany her as her “husband” for the long years to come.

She lowered her head and stared at her toes. “You… You’re back?!”

Yin Huaixi smiled. “I’m back.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the room suddenly fell silent.

After a while, Yu Youyao looked up. Yin Huaixi was standing in front of her, his shoulders naturally slumped. His eyes landed on her and he was looking at her intently.

His gaze was too focused. At a glance, all he could see was her figure. Yu Youyao felt a little embarrassed by his gaze. She quickly said, “I— I’ll go down and arrange for you to wash and comb first…”

As she spoke, she quickly took two steps back and fled like a frightened rabbit. Yin Huaixi looked at her flustered back and smiled. “You’re enlightened!”

Perhaps it was because she had never been taught by her mother since she was young, but no one had ever told her about some private words that could only be said between mother and daughter. The little girl was very ignorant about relationships between men and women.

After the “engagement”, the relationship between the two of them was not as close as before. She began to have the awareness of men and women being wary of each other, and there was a deliberate distance between them when they interacted.

This was not out of shyness.

Most of the time, it was because men and women needed to observe etiquette.

Yu Youyao walked far away before her footsteps gradually slowed down. She patted her still hot cheeks gently and took a deep breath. Only then did she calm down a little.

Due to their master’s return, The Green House became busy.

While Yin Huaixi was washing off the dust, Yu Youyao quickly made a pot of medicinal porridge, sea cucumber soup, and a few simple appetizing snacks.

After accompanying Yin Huaixi for dinner, Yu Youyao planned to talk about serious matters.

Unexpectedly, Yin Huaixi stood up and reached out to her. “I’m a little stuffed. Walk with me in my courtyard while I digest my food.”

She looked at the large palm he handed over. Perhaps because he had been holding weapons often recently. Thus, the calluses in his palm were much heavier than before, giving off a firm feeling.

For some reason, Yu Youyao placed her small hand in his palm.

Immediately, her entire hand was wrapped tightly. The dry and firm feeling in her palm made her feel very at ease.

Yin Huaixi pulled her back.

Yu Youyao stood up and the two of them strolled along the cobblestone path in the courtyard. “How’s the situation at the Longcheng camp?”

Yin Huaixi only said, “After the Dragon Boat Festival, the last batch of refugees will also be sent to the resettlement point. The resettlement of the refugees has almost come to an end. Next, the You army will help the local authorities control the refugees who have been resettled. You have to be prepared. After that, the Liaodong area will fall into temporary chaos, but the impact is not big.”

He did not mention that there were still 60,000 to 70,000 people in the casualty camp who were being isolated for treatment because of their injuries or epidemic illnesses. Even though there were donations from nobles, medicinal herbs were still a scarce resource. Some expensive medicinal herbs that had obvious effects in treating the epidemic illness were even more scarce. Most of the refugees who were infected with the epidemic could not be treated.

There was only routine treatment in the camp. Whether they could survive depended on themselves.

There were already more than a hundred thousand refugees who had died from the epidemic.

This was even when the epidemic prevention was perfect and there were more medicinal herbs.

Yu Youyao knew that after the refugees were resettled, due to the different customs, culture, and habits of the various places, and because of the psychological trauma after the disaster, mental pressure, and various other reasons, human nature would also be infinitely magnified. Under such circumstances, it was very easy for all kinds of conflicts, or even chaos, to erupt.

Yin Huaixi said that it wasn’t a big problem. He planned to use violence to suppress violence and bloodshed.

After receiving a handful, they would be given some resettlement supplies as a benefit. Most of the refugees would only be grateful and hate those who caused trouble.

Yu Youyao had nothing to say. She felt that she had already done everything she could and should do. What happened next was not something she could interfere in.

If she criticized him, it was inevitable that it would bring immeasurable losses to Yin Huaixi and the government.

Yu Youyao shook her head. She wanted to ask if he had received the secret decree of the Empress Dowager’s marriage. However, when the words were about to come out of her mouth, she suddenly felt a little flustered and did not know what to say.

She looked down at the tips of her toes.

Yin Huaixi lowered his head and saw that her fair ears were slightly pink. He suddenly felt an itch in his hands and couldn’t help but move his fingers, wanting to reach out and rub them.

He twirled his fingers hard and restrained his impulse. “I’ve mentioned it to you before. My father, King Li of Zhou, was born to Concubine Hui, whom the previous emperor doted on the most. The previous emperor loved my father very much and even had the intention to nurture him. However, at that time, there were already four princes under the previous emperor. All of them were born by the other concubines in the palace before Concubine Hui entered the palace. ”

Yu Youyao’s heart skipped a beat. King Li of Zhou was ranked fifth among the princes.

He was the emperor’s youngest son..
