The Supporting Actress Made A Comeback-Chapter 963 - 967: Crown Prince
After leaving the guesthouse, Mo Shu put on her veil hat.
The night was deep, and the lighting here naturally couldn’t compare to the omnipresent lights of the modern world; instead, they used oil candle lamps.
Of course, this guesthouse was quite wealthy, so it had more lamps than an average guesthouse.
When Mo Shu walked out, many people were watching her.
She proceeded in a low-profile manner, walking quickly.
After she came out, she noticed someone tailing her. Without any sign, her slender figure had already slipped into several hidden alleys, and Xuyu, those tailing her, easily lost track.
Mo Shu’s nimble figure, like a light float, silently dropped from the rooftop, her toes landing on the sharp edge of a wall. She shielded her veil hat with one hand and looked down at the followers searching around, her gaze dimmed slightly.
"How did we lose her?"
"That woman seems to have high-level martial arts. We better not follow her, lest we provoke someone difficult."
"Don’t be such a coward. No wonder you can’t get rich. Haven’t you thought that if she were really someone hard to deal with, why would she disguise herself like this? Not even daring to reveal her true face, perhaps she’s a fugitive imperial criminal."
"If she’s an imperial criminal, then we certainly can’t afford to provoke her..."
"Fortune favors the bold! You don’t understand anything. We’re already like this now, and you’re still afraid of dying?" Saying this, he gritted his teeth, as if making some kind of determination, "At worst, we die!"
...
Mo Shu looked down and noticed the two of them were dressed in rags, appearing rather weak and thin.
They weren’t very old. Under the moonlight, Mo Shu could see one with sunken cheeks.
They looked like refugees with nowhere to go.
Mo Shu just glanced at them and paid no further attention.
With a light tap of her toes, her nimble figure soon vanished into the night again.
As she traveled swiftly, Mo Shu suddenly recalled the small ball the fugitive handed to her today.
Clutched tightly in the palm, it must be something important.
Taking out the small wooden ball, Mo Shu unscrewed it.
In that instant when the ball was unscrewed, a white, unidentified object shot up suddenly.
Unprepared, Mo Shu was startled and took two steps back.
She saw that white object swiftly soaring, followed by a burst of light in the air, and then a white item slowly fell towards a fixed direction.
The slowness was only relative to its initial speed of ascent; in actuality, its falling speed was just right for a person to keep track of it with the naked eye.
Mo Shu tapped her toes, and her Qinggong easily took her to the rooftops nearby.
Following the white object, she discovered the falling direction was towards Yong City’s border.
Could it be... the place where that person is imprisoned today?

On the other side.
Upon learning that their master was in trouble, Sun Qing and his group arrived in Liehuo Country overnight.
But who could have expected the Princes of Liehuo Country to be so ruthless!
Not only did they pull their master down from the position of Crown Prince, but they also pinned several baseless charges on him, leading the blind Emperor to sentence him to exile.
Sun Qing and his group were so furious that they couldn’t sleep at night, planning to rescue their master on the road to exile. Little did they know, those people were so cunning. Not only did they avoid the official exile route, but they also took the longest detour.
Sun Qing and his group had already intercepted the compulsory path along the long exile route once, but after sacrificing more than half of their brothers, they found out the person they rescued was a fake!
