With the support of Duke Ning, Mo Yi felt a sense of reassurance, allowing him to go to the border without worries. However, Duke Ning spent a long time talking to him afterward, mostly about Bai Yao, showing how much he cared about the descendants left behind by Marquis Zhongyong’s household.
After seeing off the Duke, it was already late. Mo Yi wanted to go find Bai Yao, but he was afraid of disturbing his rest. Thinking that his partner would probably come to see him off when he left the next day, Mo Yi dismissed the idea of sneaking into the Bai residence at night.
With urgent matters at the front lines, Mo Yi didn’t have time to delay. Early the next morning, he left the mansion according to orders. When he arrived at the city gate and exchanged greetings with the soldiers escorting the supplies, he looked around.
As an unfavored prince, there were few people seeing him off, and the Eldest Prince had only sent some attendants to convey his regards. After scanning around and not noticing the shadow of his partner, Mo Yi felt a bit disappointed.
Thinking that Bai Yao might have other matters to attend to, he could only board the carriage with a sense of loss.
But as soon as he lifted the carriage curtain to step inside, he saw someone he was most familiar with already seated inside.
At this moment, Bai Yao was casually flipping through a book, and when he saw Mo Yi enter, he smiled at him.
“Bai Ren!”
Mo Yi called out and immediately threw himself into Bai Yao’s arms, hugging him tightly.
Putting down the book, Bai Yao returned Mo Yi’s embrace. Seeing the young man so excited, his mood also lifted.
He leaned down to kiss Mo Yi’s forehead and chuckled, “What? Did you think I wouldn’t come to see you off, Your Highness?”
“Yeah!”
Mo Yi said, with a hint of grievance on his face.
“I really thought you wouldn’t come. I thought maybe you were busy with important matters, so you couldn’t make it. I was so disappointed, but I never expected to find you inside the carriage!”
As he spoke, he noticed some items in the carriage that didn’t belong to him, and his expression became hopeful.
“Are you coming with me?” he asked eagerly.
Seeing Bai Yao nod, Mo Yi cheered and immediately cupped Bai Yao’s face, planting several enthusiastic kisses on him.
Bai Ren chuckled as he held onto Mo Yi, gently tightening his arms around him. He truly adored the way the Sixth Prince treated him with such warmth and affection.
This unrestrained display of affection and radiant smile only appeared when facing him, making Bai Ren feel like he was the most special person to Mo Yi.

With the escort of many guards and a significant amount of supplies and provisions, they spent most of the journey inside the carriage.
For Mo Yi, what would have been a dull journey became joyful with his lover’s company, feeling like a honeymoon.
But for Bai Yao, it was undoubtedly a sweet torment.
Their relationship couldn’t be made public for the time being. Even when they interacted, they had to be discreet. They could only share kisses in secluded alleys or rooms where nobody could see them.
They couldn’t be alone in the carriage day and night like they were now.
The wheels of the carriage rumbled as it moved forward, and the atmosphere inside the carriage was unusually heated.
On the thick fur blankets, the man lifted his head and let out a heavy sigh, his eyes red as he gazed at the disheveled Mo Yi in his arms.
But the young man still held onto him tightly, looking irresistibly charming, pouting and murmuring, “More kisses.”
“Your Highness, please behave. There are people outside. If you keep this up, I won’t be able to resist,” Bai Yao said.
Initially reluctant to address Mo Yi as “Your Highness,” now, in this situation, it seemed more like a playful endearment.
So Mo Yi looked at Bai Yao unwillingly and licked his slightly swollen lips, still wanting more.
Lifting his head to nuzzle against his partner’s face, Mo Yi sighed helplessly. “When will we ever have some privacy? There are always people around. When will it be just the two of us?”
His tone sounded even more eager than Bai Yao’s.
Bai Yao felt his breath grow hotter. He had initially thought Mo Yi was enticing, but now he seemed like an enchantress. Even if he were, he might not be able to control himself either.
Bai Yao could only press down the urge by kissing him fiercely again, hoping to quench the fire in his heart.
During these days together, Bai Yao also gained a new understanding of Mo Yi’s clinginess.
Indeed, he seemed like a little leecher!
Why else would he insist on being fed during meals, demand kisses while talking or reading, cling to him while sleeping, and always seek to take advantage of him? It was clear that he coveted Bai Yao’s affection.
Unable to resist, Bai Yao hugged him tighter, gently kissing the sleeping man’s cheek, not realizing that, somehow, he was the one who seemed more eager for affection.
Fortunately, their journey was swift, and after enduring for more than ten days, they finally reached the border.
Bai Yao helped Mo Yi put on his clothes and draped a warm cloak over him before they stepped out of the carriage together.
As soon as they got off the carriage, they were greeted by General Wei.
General Wei was originally under the command of Marquis Zhongyong, Marquis Bai Huai. Over the past few years, he had been in contact with Bai Yao privately, but this was the first time they had seen each other in many years.
Upon seeing Bai Yao, General Wei’s gaze lingered for a moment before quickly turning to Mo Yi. He respectfully said, “Greetings, Your Highness, Sixth Prince.”
Mo Yi nodded to General Wei, saying, “General, no need to be so polite. It’s hard work for you to guard the border. I’ve brought some supplies and rations from the court. Please have someone take them down.”
The soldiers beside General Wei couldn’t contain their joy upon hearing this news. The supplies and rations were exactly what they needed. No matter how brave they were, they still needed to eat well and dress warmly to go into battle.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, as they had been dusty and tired from the journey, General Wei couldn’t just keep them standing there and talking. He arranged for Mo Yi to rest first, saying they would hold a welcoming banquet for the Sixth Prince in the evening.
Once they parted ways, Bai Yao made an excuse to leave and went to General Wei’s tent.
Inside the tent, General Wei seemed to have been waiting for him.
Upon seeing Bai Yao, the man hurriedly walked over, his expression excited and somewhat incredulous. He looked at Bai Yao and said with red eyes, “You little rascal! You said in your letters that you had changed a lot, but I didn’t expect it to be this much! Why didn’t you contact me all these years!”
Seeing General Wei’s reaction, Bai Yao could only smile helplessly and call out, “Uncle Wei.”
“Ah, ah!” General Wei responded in a flurry, quickly pulling him to sit down and examining Bai Yao carefully. After a while, he sighed deeply and said, “I already know about the things you mentioned in your letters. You can rest assured, not only me, but also everyone in my camp used to be under the Marquis. They will all listen to you, Bai Yao. Tell me the truth, what are you really thinking? I’m not completely ignorant of the situation in the capital. You wouldn’t actually want to support that Eldest Prince to become emperor, would you? From what I see, that Mo Xingyan is full of malice and is not a good person!”
Hearing General Wei’s straightforward words, Bai Yao couldn’t help but smile and replied, “Of course not. I’m just worried that the Eldest Prince might have had a hand in the affairs of the Bai House back then. How could I possibly support an enemy to ascend the throne?”
Upon hearing this, General Wei felt somewhat relieved and asked, “So what are you thinking? What are your plans for the future?”
Plans for the future…
Upon hearing the question, Bai Yao lowered his eyelids, momentarily at a loss for an answer.
In the past, he had only wanted to overthrow the entire Mo Dynasty, seeking revenge for his family without considering the consequences.
But now, being with Mo Yi seemed to miraculously soothe the turmoil in his heart that had been burning with anger incessantly. However, he hadn’t completely abandoned the idea of instigating a war between the two countries and causing suffering just to seek revenge.
After pondering for a moment, he said, “Uncle Wei, I haven’t made a decision yet. But one thing is for sure, neither the Eldest Prince nor the Second Prince will ascend the throne. As for what comes next, I still need to consider it further.”
General Wei didn’t find this surprising; after all, it was a difficult matter to consider.
The old emperor was incompetent, and his two most powerful sons were not good options either.
To be honest, if he were Bai Yao, he wouldn’t know how to choose among these princes either.
The Eldest Prince and the Second Prince might involved in the Bai family’s case, so they might have played a role in instigating it. The Fifth Prince was arrogant, and the Sixth Prince was weak. As for the other princes, they were still too young, and their potential was unclear.
He couldn’t help but feel that there wasn’t a single son in the Mo family who was capable!
After chatting with Bai Yao for a while, it was almost time for the welcoming banquet.
General Wei had a large tent set up with a fire burning inside, roasting a whole lamb. Everyone sat around the fire, drinking and eating meat.
It was rare for such good food to be served in the military camp, let alone alcohol. They couldn’t afford to delay military matters by drinking alcohol. So, some of the soldiers had water in their cups instead.
It was Mo Yi’s first time enjoying such a hearty meal of lamb, and he found it quite flavorful. He happily grabbed a large lamb leg and began to feast.
However, despite his hearty appetite, Mo Yi’s young age and fair complexion gave him an appearance that still retained some childishness.
The soldiers around couldn’t help but whisper among themselves. Even though Mo Yi brought the supplies, they still didn’t hold him in high regard. They saw him as a weak and pampered young man.
To make matters worse, he came with a title similar to an imperial envoy this time. Could it be that such a young and inexperienced boy had come to the frontline to dictate terms to them, the soldiers who risked their lives on the border?
Especially in recent years, with the emperor’s incompetence, many people’s impressions of the royal family were not favorable.
Some soldiers, who had alcohol, began to speak even more recklessly in private. In particular, Vice General Liu, who had the least respect for the weak, harbored even more disdain for pampered royals who indulged in luxury.
Seeing Mo Yi engrossed in eating and drinking, and seemingly ignoring even their generals when they spoke to him, Vice General Liu decided to show him who was in charge.
Show him who’s in charge? Sure, be ready to accept a good beating then!
Thank you for the chapter~
