Reincarnated As a Fox With System

920  Chapter 920: Fatal Conspiracy!

Tang Li Xue hastily recalled that she almost died just now, and she did not even have any more life-saving skills or [Substitution Doll] to save her life.

Her charming topaz blue eyes instantly became tearful as if she felt a great grievance.

The Third Prince immediately felt very distressed when he saw Tang Li Xueʼs pitiful expression.

ʼSigh, this incident should have greatly terrified her. She must have only been acting tough earlier, and now, she finally could not hold her true feelings anymore after watching me safe.ʼ The Third Prince assumed in his heart.

”I am sorry, Miss Tang. This incident should be my fault. The person behind this incident should be targeting me, but you do not need to worry. I will make sure to catch the culprit behind this incident as soon as possible. I will also make sure something like this would never happen again in the future.” The Third Prince swore to Tang Li Xue in a firm tone.

Tang Li Xue nodded her head while sniffling pitifully with tearful eyes.

ʼSuccess~! As I expected from myself, it seems my acting skill still deserves to win an Oscar!ʼ Tang Li Xue thought proudly in her heart.

It took a while for the Third Prince to calm Tang Li Xue down before the Third Prince took another carriage from his spatial ring, then they headed back to the Imperial Palace together.

On the way back to the Imperial Palace, Tang Li Xue was still putting on an act of being depressed and frightened, so the Third Prince would not ask her again about how she could get away from the previous explosion right in front of his eyes.

To be honest, Tang Li Xue almost could not resist the urge to run away when everyone was busily helping the Third Prince out from the burned carriage before.

But after taking everything into consideration, she decided to resist her urge to escape and grit her pearl-white teeth to stay.

It really could not be helped since her preparations had not riped yet, and there were so many eyes watching at them at that time.

There was even a high chance that she might even be suspected as the culprit of the incident if she tried to escape at that moment.

Tang Li Xue suddenly frowned as she faintly realized something: ʼNo, if you think about it carefully... Maybe that incident was not to kill me, but just to test me instead? If that were true, then the one behind this might not be the Second Prince or that annoying fiancé of the Third Prince, but someone else?ʼ

Tang Li Xue really had a bad premonition about all of these.

It was as if she was fighting against someone in the dark, then another person suddenly came and stabbed her in the back.

ʼIt looks like I have to speed up my escape plan...ʼ Tang Li Xue thought firmly in her mind as a cold light glinted in her topaz blue eyes.

.....

After the Third Prince and Tang Li Xue returned safely to the Imperial Palace, most of the high-rank Nascent Soul Stage masters who secretly protected the Third Prince quickly dispersed to do their own business.

But one of those high-rank Nascent Soul Stage masters sneaked into one of the luxurious courtyards in the Imperial Palace in order to meet with someone.

The high-rank Nascent Soul Stage master bowed his head and said: ”Greetings to His Highness First Prince.”

Yes, this high-rank Nascent Soul Stage master actually came here to meet with the Third Princeʼs older brother, the First Prince!

The First Prince still leisurely sat on his chair and sipped on his hot tea before he asked: ”How is it?”

”Just like His Highness First Prince had expected, Third Prince is completely unharmed after the explosion.” The high-rank Nascent Soul Stage master replied.

The First Prince raised his cold but handsome face and stared at the high-rank Nascent Soul Stage master displeasingly, then muttering: ”That is not what I asked. My brother has so many life-saving treasures given by me and my dear mother after she came back from the Iron-blooded armyʼs camp, so of course, he would be all right.”

Right after the Third Prince returned to the Imperial Palace, he immediately reported what had happened to him in the Iron-blooded armyʼs camp to his brother and dear Imperial mother.

From how he was almost assassinated by a group of black-clothed people, then his fateful encounter with Tang Li Xue until how he was saved by Tang Li Xue before.

The First Prince and their Empress Mother were worried that the Third Prince would face another life-threatening danger again in this critical moment, so they gave a lot of life-saving treasures to the Third Prince after that.

As for Tang Li Xue?

Both the First Prince and the Empress actually felt very suspicious of Tang Li Xue.

They did not believe the so-called fateful encounter that the Third Prince was talking about.

How could the Third Prince ʼaccidentallyʼ bump into an injured beauty when he was chased by many assassins, then ʼaccidentallyʼ again, that injured beauty had a strange ability that could help the Third Prince get out from such a dangerous situation?!

It was all just too coincidental to be true!

Both the First Prince and the Empress even suspected that Tang Li Xue was actually a pawn deliberately planted beside the Third Prince by their enemies, and what the Third Prince experienced in the forest near the Iron-blooded armyʼs camp before was just a play to deceive him.

Both the First Prince and the Empress had already tried to convince the Third Prince to be careful with Tang Li Xue.

They even told him to just dump Tang Li Xue after he was satisfied playing with her and kick her out of the Imperial Palace as soon as possible, but unfortunately, the Third Prince would not listen to any of their suggestion no matter what they said about Tang Li Xue.

Of course, even if the Third Prince really kicked Tang Li Xue out of the Imperial Palace, they still would not let her go since the Third Prince might accidentally leak some crucial information to her. Only the dead people... and beasts could keep secrets, so Tang Li Xueʼs dead body would surely be found on the street the next day after that.

After they realized that the Third Prince had fallen too deeply in love with Tang Li Xue and all of their efforts to wake him up were in vain, they quickly changed their plan and suggested the Third Prince bring Tang Li Xue to see them instead.

In short, they had planned to forcefully ask for Tang Li Xueʼs background and test her, then control her with threats, bribery, brainwashing, and so on.

However, the Third Prince was already suspicious of his brother, the First Prince, and his Empress mother after they tried to convince him to abandon Tang Li Xue and kick her out of the Imperial Palace before, so he always refused their request to invite Tang Li Xue to meet them with various reasons.

In the end, the First Prince and the Empress decided to implement the explosion incident tonight.

If Tang Li Xue really got killed because of it, then so be it. They would only need to put all the blame on their enemy, the Second Prince.

If Tang Li Xue still somehow survived that explosion incident, then they could use this chance to stir trouble for Tang Li Xue and make the Third Prince feel suspicious of Tang Li Xue.

Oh, right... By the way, the previous poisoning incident was actually also done by them.

Just think about it carefully... How could Lu Yixin or the Second Prince easily poison the person living inside the Third Princeʼs courtyard while all the people living inside the Third Princeʼs courtyard were the Third Princeʼs most trusted subordinates?!

The only answer was because the one who planned that was actually on the Third Princeʼs side!

”I am sorry, His Highness First Prince. That girl is actually unharmed by the explosion.” The high-rank Nascent Soul Stage master reported truthfully to the First Prince.

The First Prince did not feel it was strange that Tang Li Xue could survive the explosion because he had already guessed it since the very beginning.

The First Prince sneered coldly while murmuring: ”I knew that fox girl was not simple. To think my idiot brother can be fooled that easily by that fox girl. Is he really blind or something?”

The high-rank Nascent Soul Stage master did not dare to badmouth the Third Prince in front of the First Prince, so he tried to appease the First Princeʼs anger instead: ”Please calm down, His Highness First Prince. Maybe the Third Prince was only fascinated by that fox girlʼs beauty for a while.”

The First Princeʼs expression became even more disdainful as he said in a colder voice mixed with amusement: ”I heard all the girls from the Fox Clan are extremely charming and beautiful. Even the most beautiful girls from the Human Race cannot be compared to them. I really want to see how beautiful that fox girl is that she can make my brother so infatuated with her!”

The high-rank Nascent Soul Stage master hesitated for a few moments before he suggested: ”This... His Highness First Prince better be careful when he faces her later. The girls from the Fox Clan are not only charming and beautiful, but they can also use strange divine abilities. This subordinate is afraid that she will use hypnosis or charm abilities to control His Highness First Prince.”

”You did not need to warn me about it. I know that very clearly. Heh, how could I fall into the same situation as my brother?! You can go back now. Do not forget to watch that fox girlʼs every movement carefully.” The First Prince ordered the high-rank Nascent Soul Stage master before he drove him back impatiently.

It seems Tang Li Xueʼs life was really in great danger if she did not escape as soon as possible! (>w choose to open app info -> choose storage -> clear data -> clear cache -> re-open WN app).
