Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

Under the leadership of Yinzhen, the people were busy cleaning up the ruins in the disaster area. Sweat and mud were intertwined, but their hearts were full of hope and determination.

Just then, several princes appeared in their sight, and they all came forward to greet Yinzhen.

Yinzhen looked up and saw that his clothes were disheveled and covered in mud. He couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Seeing this, the Third Prince joked, "Ah, Fourth Brother, you have gone from being a gentleman to a peasant! How come our elegant Fourth Master can't stand the hardship in this disaster area?"

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen just smiled lightly and didn't take it to heart.

He knew very well that the joke at this moment was just to ease the tense atmosphere, so he changed the subject and urged: "Third brother, stop teasing me and come to help. There is strength in numbers, we have to clean up these ruins quickly."

After that, Yinzhen's eyes fell on the thirteenth and fourteenth princes, and asked with concern: "Why are you here too? The environment here is tough, it's not a joke."

Upon hearing this, the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Princes looked at each other and said in unison: "We also want to help. We are all children of the royal family, and we should stand up at this time and do our part for the people."

After the two of them finished speaking, they were afraid that Yinzhen would refuse, so they quickly added: "We have grown up and can take on more responsibilities. Moreover, the emperor also agreed that we can come to the disaster area to help."

Yinzhen looked at the determination and enthusiasm in their eyes, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

He knew very well that these young brothers had become more mature and responsible after experiencing this disaster.

So he nodded in agreement and asked them to join the cleanup work immediately.

At this time, the third prince also put forward his plan.

He told Yinzhen that he had discussed with the imperial doctors and that epidemics were very likely to break out after a flood.

In order to prevent this from happening, he specially asked the imperial doctors to prepare a batch of anti-epidemic powder to be sprinkled in every corner of the disaster area.

After hearing this, Yinzhen praised the Third Prince for his attentiveness and thoughtfulness, and said repeatedly: "Third brother is still very thoughtful."

Afterwards, under the leadership of Yinzhen, everyone continued to engage in the intensive cleaning work.

They first cleaned the mud and water on the streets, then removed the debris on the road one by one, and finally started to repair the houses that were destroyed by the flood.

However, the extent of the damage in the disaster area was far beyond their imagination, and the cleanup work was extremely difficult. Despite everyone's best efforts, only a small section of the street was cleared by the evening.

When the anti-epidemic powder brought by the third prince was evenly spread on the cleaned area, everyone was exhausted. Seeing this, Yinzhen knew that everyone needed to rest to recover their strength to meet tomorrow's challenges.

So he announced the end of work and asked everyone to go back and rest.

Although they were exhausted, they were filled with a sense of achievement and pride, as they knew they were contributing to the reconstruction of the disaster area.

As night fell, everyone returned to their respective residences.

……

In Yiya Courtyard, the night was deep, and the moonlight was like water, gently sprinkling on the bluestone path, covering this quiet courtyard with a layer of silver gauze.

Yi Ya sat in front of the window, holding a book in her hands, but she had no intention of reading, and her mind had already drifted far away.

She knew that Yinzhen was going to the disaster area today. It was a devastated place after being ravaged by floods, and it would not be very clean when he returned.

So, she instructed her personal maid Bai Zhi early in the morning to prepare a bucket of hot bath water, hoping to wash away Yinzhen's fatigue and dust when he returned.

Time passed by bit by bit, and the occasional chirping of insects in the yard added a bit of tranquility to the night.

Finally, there were slight footsteps outside the door. Yi Ya was delighted and quickly put down the book in her hand and stood up to greet them.

The door was gently pushed open, and Yinzhen's figure appeared at the door.

He stood there. Although his face was still handsome, his eyes could not hide the fatigue. His clothes were covered with mud. He was completely different from the elegant Fourth Master in daily life.

Seeing this, Yi Ya felt a pang in her heart, and hurriedly stepped forward and said softly: "Yinzhen, you are back."

Yinzhen looked up at Yiya and smiled. He wanted to say something, but he felt that any words would be superfluous at this moment. He nodded in response to Yiya's greeting.

Yi Ya didn't say much, but turned to Bai Zhi and said, "Bai Zhi, quickly bring the hot water so that the Fourth Master can wash up."

Bai Zhi responded and acted quickly. After a while, she brought a bucket of steaming hot bath water and placed it in the middle of the room.

Yi Ya personally stepped forward, took off Yinzhen's coat, and hung it on a hanger beside him. She moved gently, fearing that she would hurt Yinzhen.

As Yinzhen looked at Yi Ya's busy figure, a warm feeling surged in his heart, as if the fatigue of the past few days was alleviated a little.

"You should go and have a rest too. I can do it myself." Yinzhen said softly, not wanting Yi Ya to work too hard.

But Yi Ya shook her head and insisted, "I'm fine, let me help you. You've worked so hard for so long, you should have a good rest."

As she spoke, she began to undress Yinzhen and carefully helped him sit in the bath tub.

The hot water soaked Yinzhen's clothes, and the dirt gradually melted in the water, revealing his strong body. Yi Ya turned her back to him, but her heart was filled with ripples.

"By the way, Su Peisheng also came back with you, right? He also needs to wash up." Yi Ya suddenly remembered Su Peisheng who was accompanying them, and hurriedly said to Yinzhen.

Yinzhen nodded and said, "He is waiting outside the door. Please ask someone to prepare some hot water for him."

Yi Ya responded and then told Bai Zhi to take care of Su Peisheng.

She stayed in the room, quietly waiting beside Yinzhen, watching him close his eyes and rest, enjoying this rare tranquility and relaxation.

The night is still deep, but the love is even stronger.

In this small courtyard, Yiya and Yinzhen spent a warm and unforgettable night together.
