Mo Xuanqing dragged Man Tianyun and ran deep into the forest until it was almost morning when the two of them stopped. The assassins probably thought Tieu Dao was Man Tianyun. If they realised they were chasing the wrong person, they would have lost track of the two of them. Anyway, after running all night long, Man Tianyun couldn't go any further. She was, after all, an elderly princess, someone who had been served since childhood. Running like that really made it difficult for Man Tianyun. She leaned against a nearby tree, her legs shaking. Man Tianyun had to work very hard to be able to stand without falling down.

"Princess, if you don't mind, let me carry you for a while. There is a rest station in front. We can go there to rest a bit. I will send a message to the guard Shen to protect the princess. If you can't go, we can ask the guard Shen to bring a carriage to you."
