38 Chapter 32: Hold tighter 

After a while, Yun Mo got the news. Yun Zhongyan and Yun Qianmeng found out about Zhang Mingxu's deeds. Yun Qianmeng was angry and immediately broke off the relationship with Zhang Mingxu.

This time with Yun Zhongyan present with Yun Qianmeng, Zhang Mingxu didn't dare to do anything to her at all.

After hearing the news, Yun Zhongyao turned his head and let Yun Mo's men continue keeping an eye on  Zhang Mingxu. After all, this is a guy who is desperate and can do anything.

"Your Highness the first prince has come," Yun Mo said softly while looking at Yun Zhongyao, who was buried in a pile of memorials.

Yun Zhongyao was a little surprised. Yun Zhongming seldom came to his Palace, because Yun Zhongming was in charge of military power so In order to avoid suspicion, they could only meet in private.

"I see, let's go now." Yun Zhongyao walked to the front hall, where Yun Zhongming was waiting.

"Big brother, what's the matter?" Yun Zhongyao walked up to Yun Zhongming and raised his head slightly.

Yun Zhongming nodded slightly and took out a token with the word "Yun" engraved on it, "This is for you."

Yun Zhongyao raised his eyebrow slightly, and did not immediately reach out, "What is this?

"The Yun symbol of the shadow guard camp, you are the crown prince, naturally you should be in charge of it."

The position of the crown prince had been vacant before,but because he was in charge of the army, Emperor Yun let him take charge of the shadow guard camp.

Now that the crown prince has been decided, there is no reason for him to hold onto this token.

He wanted to give it a few times before, but he was delayed by some things, so he just came over to give it himself.

"It's good that you are in charge." Yun Zhongyao didn't intend to take it, after all, he won't be crown prince for long.

"It's a rule." Yun Zhongming said.

Yun Zhongyao knew that for his eldest brother following rules was very important, to put it bluntly he was old-fashioned.

"Then I will take it for now, and return it to you later."

Yun Zhongming looked at Yun Zhongyao for a moment, then turned and left.

"Are you leaving?" Yun Zhongyao asked.

"Well, I'm going to our second brother to discuss how to tie you to the crown prince position."

Yun Zhongyao: "..."

Watching Yun Zhongming leave, he turned around to look at Yun Mo who could no longer hold back his smile and his(YZY) eyes softened.

Yun Mo grinned, his pair of big eyes curled up and he smiled beautifully, "This is the first time I am seeing royal family members who are trying to hide from the crown prince position." 

Yun Zhongyao shook his head helplessly. He didn't expect that all of his brothers had no intention of taking part in political affairs.

After a pause, Yun Zhongyao looked at Yun Mo, "Have you seen other royal families?"

"Well... this subordinate is not from the Chu kingdom, I was picked up by the master when I was young." Yun Mo lowered his head and said.

"Then which kingdom are you from?"

"I don't know… I was too young, I only vaguely remember that when I was young, I also seemed to live in the palace, and they all fought fiercely for that position."

Yun Zhongyao touched Yun Mo's head with some distress. He liked to do this very much. Yun Mo's hair is very soft, it felt comfortable to touch it, and Yun Mo was also very well-behaved.

When Emperor Yun learned of what Zhang Mingxu had done, he was furious and immediately issued an order to break off the marriage contract. In order to calm Emperor Yun's anger, the Zhang family paid a considerable price.

Yun Zhongyao was temporarily relieved, Yun Qianmeng didn't need to bear that man's unreasonable charges, nor would she be harmed, so he could feel more at ease.

The drought in the northwest came without warning, and started just after the New year.

Fortunately, Yun Zhongfeng had been instructed by Yun Zhongyan before, and had started to collect grain early and now he won't be as helpless as at that time.

In order to stabilize and give assurance to the people, Emperor Yun had to send Yun Zhongyao, the newly appointed crown prince, to the northwest to deliver the relief funds safely.

Yun Zhongfeng had already gone there, and Yun Zhongming had also sent an army to protect Yun Zhongyao along the way to prevent the victims from rioting.

Yun Zhongyao was sitting in the carriage, his brows furrowed, and his face a little pale.

He was a little spoiled, and the bumpy carriage journey made him extremely uncomfortable, but he couldn't say anything, lest he delayed the trip.

Yun Mo sat opposite Yun Zhongyao and was looking at him with a worried expression on his face.

Yun Zhongyao's seat has been padded with several soft  cushions, but it seemed useless.

Yun Mo knows that for people who don't practice martial arts, long carriage rides must be torture.

Seeing Yun Zhongyao was uncomfortable to the point that his face had turned white, and his heart was worried.

Yun Mo hesitated, and slowly sat down beside Yun Zhongyao.

As soon as he sat down, Yun Zhongyao opened his eyes slightly, did not move, and said breathlessly,"What's the matter?"

Yun Mo was a little nervous, his slender hands trembling as it covered Yun Zhongyao's lower abdomen." Your Highness, don't be offended." 

A warm current flowed in from the lower abdomen and it flowed through the whole body. The discomfort in his stomach instantly dissipated.

With a slightly rosy face, the corners of Yun Zhongyao's mouth hooked up slightly and he beckoned Yun Mo, "Momo, come closer."

Yun Mo moved a little closer, and then Yun Zhongyao leaned against Yun Mo, making him go stiff.

"This prince is feeling sore because of the carriage ride, let this prince lean on you." 

Yun Mo was as stiff as a piece of wood, sitting there not daring to move.

Yun Zhongyao once again closed his eyes, pulled Yun Mo's hand that had unconsciously moved away  and placed it on his lower abdomen, "Continue."

Yun Mo continued, his body was very stiff, but his hands were very gentle. 

When the group arrived at the rest house, Yun Zhongyao got out of the carriage with Yun Mo's support as his waist was still a little sore.

He went directly into the room and the rest of the matter was left to the officials that accompanied him.

Yun Zhongyao sat on the bed exhaustedly, and Yun Mo walked over to Yun Zhongyao's side. 

"Your Highness, shall we ride a horse tomorrow?" Yun Mo asked.

Riding a horse for a long time is uncomfortable, but it is better than riding a carriage for a long time.

Yun Zhongyao thought for a while and nodded, "Okay." Anyway, with Yun Mo around, he didn't worry about the fact that he didn't know how to ride a horse.

On the second day, Yun Mo really got a horse for Yun Zhongyao. He sat behind Yun Zhongyao as usual, he was feeling a bit tense and his hands tightly hugged Yun Zhongyao's thin waist.

"Your Highness, up ahead is Yishi mountain, this is the only route to Kaining City, but there are many bandits there, I am afraid that it will be dangerous." Lord Tao, who was accompanying them said in a loud voice.

Yun Zhongyao nodded, "Well, if we encounter them, you only need to protect the disaster relief funds. Yun Mo is enough to protect this prince." 

These words made Yun Mo's heart move.

Every time Yun Zhongyao shows his unreserved trust in him it makes him very happy, he doesn't understand why Yun Zhongyao trusts him so much, but he will certainly not fail to live up to it.

Yun Zhongyao felt the hands around his waist tighten, and a soft chuckle spilled out from his throat.

Yun Mo is not sure why Yun Zhongyao is happy again, but as long as Yun Zhongyao is happy, he is also happy.

"Mo Mo, hold on tighter, this prince is afraid of falling down."

The cold tone seemed to be talking about something trivial, but it made Yun Mo's face blush.

"Yes…this subordinate obeys." Blushing he hugged Yun Zhongyao a little tighter.
