The Silent Provocateur

Longyuan quickly got up from Little White Flower when he saw Cang Mu leave, and turned to run outside as well.

"Slow down, Your Highness!"

"Wait for me, Your Highness!"

However, as they chased after him, Longyuan suddenly disappeared, which left the handmaidens and guardsmen anxious once again.

"Where are you, Your Highness?"

"Come out, Your Highness!"

As a matter of fact, Longyuan was hidden in the bushes behind the miniature mountain.

"Welcome back, Hui'er." The old witch dressed in a black cloak told the other Longyuan who was just running inside the bushes.

"Yes. Return the real crown prince now." The impersonator told the witch while smiling.

"Very well." Whipping out a black staff, the witch pointed it at the unconscious Longyuan. Purple-black mist streamed out the tip of her staff after she chanted a curse, and soon, Longyuan was gone.
