Thank you Excuse.me for the coffee treat! 
This is the last extra chapters for the day. Thank you everyone for reading this work together with me!
Mo Yi let out a wail and turned to see Bai Yao looking at him with an angry expression.
Smack smack smack!
“Ah! Wuwuwuwu”
006: It must really hurt since he’s making dog-like sounds.
Bai Yao also twitched his mouth when he heard it, thinking about what the cry was. He lowered his head and looked at Mo Yi, who had tears in his eyes and looked aggrieved. He sighed in his heart and then let him go.
“Do you dare to go to battle without informing me next time?” Bai Yao asked coldly.
Mo Yi, holding his buttocks, climbed up, sniffled, and shook his head lightly, “I won’t dare…”
Bai Yao, looking at Mo Yi’s pitiful appearance, felt heartache and vigorously rubbed his head before pulling him into his arms.
“Why are you so disobedient? Do you know how scared I was when I saw the enemy’s sword about to strike you?” Bai Yao said as he kissed Mo Yi’s cheeks.
Seeing Mo Yi possibly injured earlier had terrified him.
He was worried sick for him, yet this little rascal didn’t even think he did anything wrong.
“Bai Ren, are you angry because you’re worried about me?” Mo Yi suddenly realized, looking at Bai Yao excitedly.
He thought Bai Yao would be proud of him for bravely fighting the enemy for him. Turns out, Bai Yao was worried about his safety all along!
Bai Yao couldn’t help but feel amused and exasperated. After all that, Mo Yi didn’t even know why he was angry.
He quickly apologized, but when asked if he would dare to do it again, he immediately shook his head. Turns out, it was all just to placate him!
“What should I do with you?” Bai Yao gritted his teeth, feeling a surge of anger, and bit Mo Yi lightly, leaving behind a shallow mark.
Raising his head, Bai Yao saw Mo Yi grinning foolishly again, and Bai Yao lost his anger completely.

Thinking that his partner was no longer angry, Mo Yi relaxed and happily went to the table to pour himself a glass of water, then grabbed a plate of snacks and sat on the edge of the bed to eat, getting crumbs all over his clothes.
“Ljj.” Djl Tjb rlutfv jr tf tfiqfv ygert boo atf mgewyr, jrxlcu, “Gbfr la ralii tega?”

He knew his partner wouldn’t really hurt him. It stopped hurting so quickly!
Feeling even better, Mo Yi continued eating snacks and praised, “Bai Ren, these snacks are really delicious.”
Bai Yao : …
Well, that’s true. He remembers food but forgets punishment.
After this battle, there were no more incidents in the short term.
After a while, Mo Yi completed his task of carrying supplies to the troops, and returned to the capital with Bai Yao.
According to Bai Yao’s wishes, Mo Yi naturally received the credit for the victory.
Of course, he deserved it, but it was unexpected for everyone in the imperial city.
Upon hearing the news, the emperor was overjoyed and personally came to the city gate to welcome them.
All the courtiers and princes were present, with fake smiles on the faces of the Eldest Prince and the Second Prince, but in reality, they were both unhappy.
The Second Prince, seeing Mo Yi return in glory, felt resentment, thinking that Mo Yi was related to Mo Xingyan, and yet he let the Eldest Prince gain the upper hand this time, which he couldn’t accept.
The Eldest Prince, on the other hand, had not expected his inconspicuous younger brother to be so formidable, not only able to join the battle but also to win. Most importantly, he was worried that his sixth brother, with his current momentum, might overshadow him and become another threat apart from the Second Prince. After all, they were all princes, and who wouldn’t have ambitions for the throne?
However, overall, it seemed that the Eldest Prince had gained the upper hand in the eyes of outsiders. Especially after Mo Yi returned and continued to maintain a low profile according to Bai Yao’s guidance, Mo Xingyan gradually let go of his guard again.
Observing the situation, Bai Yao employed some tactics through the people he had placed in the palace. He tampered with the supplements the emperor usually took, causing the old emperor to fall seriously ill. Of course, everything was disguised as the natural decline of the emperor due to old age and frailty.
Then, he had people spread rumors in the palace that the old emperor intended to hand his title to the Eldest Prince. This news naturally reached the ears of the empress.
Now, with the old emperor’s health deteriorating rapidly, it was likely that a decision would be made soon.
Upon hearing this news, the empress naturally became extremely anxious. Recently, everyone in the court was paying attention to this matter. The Second Prince, who was somewhat at a disadvantage, couldn’t sit still after learning of the message from the empress.
His mother was the current empress, commanding the six palaces and holding absolute power in the harem. Instead of waiting to be manipulated, the Second Prince decided to take the initiative.
So, one night, as agreed with the empress, he quietly brought the guards he had already subdued and stealthily entered the old emperor’s bedchamber, intending to use force to compel him to write the abdication decree silently.
“Rebel! How dare you! Guards, come quick!”
However, no matter how loudly Emperor Mo Tianhe shouted, there was no response.
The Second Prince nonchalantly smiled and said, “Father, Mother is concerned about your illness and knows you need rest. So, no one is allowed within a hundred meters of this chamber to avoid disturbing you.”
The old emperor glared angrily at the Second Prince. The two, who had once shared a close relationship, now revealed their true colors.
The Second Prince sneered, “Father, a wise man knows when to yield. These years, you’ve let me and Mo Xingyan compete openly and secretly, all to maintain control over the court. Now that you’re old, it’s time to abdicate. The nation needs a successor. I am born of the empress and have the support of many courtiers. It’s only natural for me to inherit the throne, isn’t it?”
The old emperor was nearly driven to cough up blood by these words. Never had he been pressured like this. He glared at the Second Prince and said indignantly, “Shameless! You dare to force your way into the palace! You, a treacherous villain, dare to vie for the throne! You’re delusional!”
But the Second Prince just sneered, drew his sword, and pointed it at the emperor. “Father, today you will write the decree, willingly or not. I advise you to cooperate to spare yourself some suffering.”
With that, he dragged the bedridden emperor to the table, thrust a pen into his hand, and forced him to write the decree.
The old emperor, dragged from his bed in his nightclothes, in a state of disarray, sat at the table, his hand trembling with rage, refusing to write. The Second Prince then slapped him hard across the face, splitting his lip and drawing blood.
Mo Tianhe, both shocked and furious, knew the threat of suffering was not just a bluff. He reluctantly picked up the pen and began to write.
But before he could write more than a few words, the chaotic sound of turmoil outside reached their ears, and the palace doors were flung open once again.
A guard rushed in, scrambling and breathless, and urgently reported to the Second Prince, “Your Highness, it’s bad! The Eldest Prince and the Sixth Prince, accompanied by many guards, are about to barge in!”
“What!”
The Second Prince was astonished. Their actions tonight were supposed to be secret. How could they have been discovered, and why were they attempting to break in now? Could there be a traitor among them?
His expression turned ferocious, but clearly, the situation was dire, and it was not the time to dwell on such matters.
He glared fiercely at the emperor and snapped, “Quickly, finish writing the decree for me!”
His eyes flashed with murderous intent, indicating his desperate resolve to seize the decree and eliminate the emperor.
However, Mo Tianhe could not fail to notice his intentions. He deliberately shook his hand, staining the silk cloth used for writing the decree with ink.
Enraged, the Second Prince stabbed the old emperor’s leg with his sword and shouted, “Write the decree now, or next time, it won’t just be your leg!”
Mo Tianhe cried out in pain, feeling increasingly terrified, and could only comply.
But as he was about to write on the new cloth, the door was suddenly breached, and a large number of guards stormed in. Leading the charge was the Eldest Prince.
However, upon seeing the Second Prince, Mo Xingyan immediately seized the bow and arrow from the archer behind him. In a swift motion, he aimed at the Second Prince and let loose an arrow.
And this arrow pierced straight through the Second Prince’s throat.
In a heart-stopping palace coup, the outcome was sealed in an instant.
Mo Yi and Bai Yao exchanged a glance, surprised by the actions of the Eldest Prince.
But it wasn’t entirely unexpected; the Eldest Prince had always been ruthless, viewing the Second Prince as a thorn in his side. Now, seizing the opportunity, he killed him without hesitation, leaving no room for compromise.
With the death of the Second Prince, those around him had no choice but to surrender, laying down their weapons.
Once the situation was completely under control, Mo Xingyan stepped forward, kneeling before the old emperor and bowing deeply. “Father, your son arrived too late to save you. Please forgive me!”
The old emperor, still in shock, looked at the corpse of the Second Prince beside him, his heart filled with dread. He stared at the Eldest Prince, who had just raised the bow to kill, feeling more fear than relief. Combined with his frail health, he promptly fainted.
Another round of chaos ensued.
The Eldest Prince hastily summoned the imperial physician to attend to the old emperor. By the next morning, Mo Tianhe had regained consciousness.
The attempt by the Second Prince and the Empress to seize power infuriated him.
The Fifth Prince and the Empress, who were involved in the conspiracy, were demoted to commoners and confined within the palace.
The Eldest Prince and the Sixth Prince, Mo Yi, were praised for their valor in rescuing the emperor and were duly rewarded.
However, it was strange that despite Mo Yi’s previous military successes and commendations, he had only received praise and material rewards, without any noble titles or land grants.
Yet now, Mo Tianhe had unprecedentedly bestowed upon Mo Yi a title, and even conferred upon him the honorific “Lu,” placing him on par with the Eldest Prince.
Many astute courtiers sensed the shifting political landscape and understood that a new power dynamic was emerging.
