The relentless downpour had lasted for nearly half a month, filling the city moat to the brim.
Severe urban flooding occurred in the Capital City, and the Emperor, who esteemed Jun Yuyan greatly, tasked him with managing a series of problems that arose following the flooding.
To prevent the collapse of the moat's embankment, Jun Yuyan ordered people to work through the night to raise and reinforce it.
He was so busy that for several days, Murong Jiu did not see him at all.
Chun Tao said that sometimes he would return in the middle of the night, apparently not wanting to wake her, always sleeping in the side hall. He snatched just a couple of Shichen of sleep before leaving the estate again before dawn.
As Murong Jiu counted the days, the weather in the Capital City finally cleared up after a couple of days.
With the clear skies, everyone's mood also improved. That afternoon, Jun Yuyan had finished his duties and came back to have lunch with her.
