Mu Yunyao stared blankly as she couldn't recover her wits. King Yue tied the horse to a tree and then led her to the water's edge. They boarded a small boat docked at the shore and paddled towards the center of the lake.

Mu Yunyao laid on the side of the boat and placed her hand in the water. Immediately, ripples spread out in circles and the starlight shook the lake.

She raised her head and looked at the bright moon in the sky. She could not help but mutter under her breath, "The low tree in the vast sky, someone close to Jiang Qing Yue …"

King Yue kept the oars and let the boat drift gently. "Yao'er, do you like the moonlight tonight?"

Mu Yunyao caressed the lake as she looked at King Yue. "Why did Fourth Master suddenly bring me here to admire the moon?"

Yue Wang slightly leaned forward, one hand reaching into the water to grab Mu Yunyao's finger, one hand supporting her shoulder as he lowered his head to lightly touch the corner of her lips.

A kiss that was as calm as the wind landed. Mu Yunyao trembled as she felt her heart thump wildly.

Yue Yang's body stiffened as his back straightened. He felt as if his lips were on fire when he touched Mu Yunyao, but he had never felt so helpless before. It was as if honey would roll down his heart whenever he touched her in this manner.

Mu Yunyao was stunned as well, and after she recovered from her shock, she couldn't help but lightly close her eyes before slowly walking up to him.

A light breeze blew, and the water was still.

Just when the two of them were immersed in it, Mu Yunyao suddenly trembled violently, followed by a low cry as she fell to the side, causing the small boat to sway slightly.

Yue Lao held her hand in the water. It was unknown where a fish came from, but it just so happened to brush past her hand. The cold and sticky feeling was like a poisonous snake, causing the charming atmosphere to disappear.

Yue Yang regained his senses, anger flashing past his face, he immediately picked up the oar placed at the side and smashed it into the water, causing the water to splash high into the air, right onto the two of their burning hot cheeks.

Mu Yunyao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. When she saw Wang Mu's incomparably depressed and wronged expression, she couldn't help but laugh.

Yue Yang was originally extremely angry and regretful to the extreme. After being smiled at by Mu Yunyao, he felt extremely uncomfortable, "Yao`er, you must be hungry. I'll treat you to some roasted fish."

"Master Four, why do you have to go against a fish?"

"No, that fish deserves to die."

Mu Yunyao laughed until her flowers were trembling and tears were about to come out. She extended her hand to poke at Yue Yang's cheek and suddenly felt an unprecedented sweetness in her heart. "Alright, then let's eat grilled fish."

Yue Yang caught ten fish in a row. After cleaning them up, he used a dagger to cut the fish into wooden sticks and stuck them in. Then, he placed each fish onto the fire to roast them. Before long, the fragrance of fish wafted through the air. He took out some salt from his luggage and sprinkled it onto the fish.

Mu Yunyao rested her chin on her hands as she waited to the side. Seeing Yue Wang's actions, the smile in her eyes became even wider, "Fourth Master, you couldn't have prepared the salt beforehand because you expected the fish would cause trouble, right?"

King Yue looked at the fish that was almost roasted in his hands and thought about how his kiss Mu Yunyao had been interrupted just now. He almost couldn't resist putting the fish into the fire and burning it again.

"Taste my cooking."

Mu Yunyao blew on the grilled fish and lightly took a bite. The fish was fresh and sweet. Even though it had only been added with a little salt, it had been caught in the fire perfectly. The tender taste on the outside was very distinctive. "Master Four's craftsmanship is excellent."

Hearing Mu Yunyao's sincere praise, the anger in King Yue somewhat dissipated, and he took the other fish to carefully roast it.

Mu Yunyao ate more than half of the fish, and leaned on Yue Yang's shoulder to look at the lake's surface, feeling satisfied. The wind was slightly stronger now, blowing on the lake's surface, causing tiny ripples.

Yue Yang took off his cape and laid it on the ground. His cape was very big, so Mu Yunyao laid on top of it just happened to be there. "Sleep for a while.

Mu Yunyao let King Yue take care of her as she laid on top of his cape with her head resting on his legs, then fell asleep peacefully. King Yue helped Mu Yunyao pull up her clothes and lowered his head to look at her sleeping appearance. His eyes revealed an limitless tenderness as he thought that taking care of Mu Yunyao would make him addicted. Every time he saw her comfortable and content appearance, the sense of accomplishment he felt in his heart was stronger than he had ever felt before.

Ten thousand taels of silver would make him even happier. He suddenly didn't want to carry out his previous plans. If he followed his plans and fought for the throne step by step, then in the end, once he ascended to that position, it would be very difficult for him to have the time to accompany Yun Yao and admire the flowers. It would be very difficult for him to indulge and love her like today.

Weak, he did not want to put this hard-won feelings in power to measure, game, because he can't afford to lose now.

The next day, Xu Qi sat in the carriage that his superior had prepared. Looking left and right, he didn't see King Yue and Mu Yunyao's figures. He couldn't help but ask, "Where is King Yue and Princess Wen Xian?"

"Reporting to Miss Xu, Wen Xian missed Grand Princess Yi and Madam Huyi, so your Highness Duke of Yue brought the princess back to the capital in advance."

Xu Qi was stunned for a moment before nodding his head. Without a word, he got into the carriage and entered the capital with the imperial physicians.

Mu Yunyao and the King of Assassins left Riverside City and made a trip to Mausoleum City. After looking at Steward Qin and Ding Yue Lan, they circled around the Neon Clouds Workshop and the Avaricious Restaurant once more before riding on the Xing Shun boat to the capital.

Grand Princess Yi De had been waiting for the news of Mu Yunyao's return to the capital. She had her room cleaned a few times, and finally heard that the boat had docked.

When Mu Yunyao got off the boat, she saw Senior Servant Qu waiting on the shore. A smile instantly appeared on her face, "Senior Servant Qu."

"Senior Qu, please rise. Are grandmother and mother alright?"

"Alright, everything is fine. It's just that I miss the princess a lot. I have to recite her name a few times every day."

When Mu Yunyao heard this, she immediately became anxious and said, "Fourth Master, I'll be returning to Qin Fang Yuan Garden first."

"Alright, I will return to the palace to report to my royal father first, then I will head over to the Grand Princess Mansion to pay my respects."

Mu Yunyao nodded with a smile as she followed Senior Servant Qu into the carriage and quickly headed towards Qin Fang Yuan.

Xu Yanhan paced back and forth in the front hall, occasionally looking at the door, "Yao'er, why aren't you here yet?"

Grand Princess Yi De held out her hand to stop her, saying somewhat helplessly, "Quickly sit down and rest. It will take some time for you to come back from the dock. Yao'er said that she will be back soon."

"Mother, you said Yao'er is a girl. How much suffering will she be going through in Jiangnan this time?"

The First Princess of Yide nodded. "That's right, when she came to ask for orders, she insisted on going to Jiangnan to find King Yue. I saw that she agreed to it on the basis of her obsession, but after walking for less than two hours, I immediately regretted it. If there's a next time, I won't let her go, no matter what I say."

Xu Yanhan nodded seriously, "Mother is right. I won't let her go next time."

Jin Lan and Jin Qiao smiled but did not say a word. The Grand Princess and the Madam were very good at talking, but if the Lady really begged them, they would be the first ones to give in.

"Grand Princess, Madam, the princess is back." The maid's voice was filled with joy. Xu Yanhan hurriedly supported Grand Princess Yide out to welcome her back.
