Reincarnated As a Fox With System-Chapter 923: Brewing Conspiracies!

.....

Meanwhile, Tang Li Xue who still did not get any news yet was nervously waiting for the result from the Xi’er in her room right now.

When her communication talisman trembled, Tang Li Xue impatiently took it out from her space pouch and hastily picked up the call from Xi’er.

"It works really well, Sister Xue~! To think that you can even make this kind of interesting love story, you are so smart, Sister Xue!" Xi’er joyously praised Tang Li Xue.

Tang Li Xue silently sighed in relief after she heard that everything went well.

Even though she had full confidence that the made-up story she copied from the movie in her previous life could definitely push away the rumor about her being a spy from another dynasty, but she still felt worried that something untoward happened when Xi’er secretly spread the rumor.

Thankfully, everything went well according to her plan without any problem.

"That is good, but you have to be more careful from now on, Xi’er. It would be better if you hid yourself and did not wander around in these few days" Tang Li Xue advised Xi’er in a worried tone.

"Eeehh? Why?" Xi’er asked in an unconvinced tone.

Tang Li Xue rolled her charming topaz blue eyes and explained clearly to Xi’er: "Because I am afraid that the Empress and the Third Prince would become crazy in anger after the rumor reaches their ears. If that really happened, then you would be in danger if they ordered their people to look for the mastermind who spread the rumor."

Tang Li Xue’s worry was definitely not without reason since the Empress really planned to do that if the wise First Prince had not stopped her.

"I understand, but if I hide myself for a few days, it will delay the time to gather the information we need. It also means our escape plan would be delayed too. Based on the information I have gathered, the situation in the Imperial City is actually getting worse and worse." Xi’er expressed her worry as she began to share all the information she had obtained.

"Many common citizens living in this Imperial City also sensed it, and they became more and more restless because the incident like your exploding carriage was not the first time happening."

"Two weeks ago, the Minister of Agriculture and his family were caught in a huge fraud and bribery case."

"Not long after that, the Minister of Justice along with his family was assassinated in his own home."

"A few days ago, the Minister of Finance and his family were executed for embezzlement of the tax money."

"In short, even people from the government were not spared and got eliminated one by one."

"Sister Xue, I think we should escape from this Capital City as soon as possible before it is too late!" Xi’er suggested to Tang Li Xue in an urgent tone.

Tang Li Xue frowned deeply after she heard Xi’er’s words.

She already guessed that the Imperial Palace... No, it should not only be the Imperial Palace but also the entire Imperial City or even the entire Great Wei Dynasty, which would become a hellish place because of the fight for the throne, but she never expected that it would come this fast.

There was no doubt that Xi’er’s worry was completely right!

The degree of danger they must face would only be higher and higher if they delayed their escape plan.

However, Tang Li Xue was also extremely worried that something untoward would happen to Xi’er if they tried to rush to complete the preparations for their escape plan.

Xi’er understood very well that Tang Li Xue should be worried about her, so Xi’er immediately said something to reassure her: "You do not need to worry too much about me, Sister Xue. This body is very strong and durable."

"Not to mention that my true vessel is actually the mysterious pitch-black sword, so I would not be killed easily. Even if they managed to find me, I am sure that I would be able to escape from them." Xi’er said to Tang Li Xue in a confident tone.

"Okay, I get it, but you have to remember to always be careful and try to not attract too much attention. There should be several masters with cultivation above the Nascent Soul Stage living in the Imperial Palace. If they made their moves, they might be able to find and catch you easily." Tang Li Xue warned Xi’er in a stern tone.

After Tang Li Xue repeatedly gave stern advice to Xi’er until Xi’er almost could not stand her nagging, Tang Li Xue finally disconnected her connection with Xi’er and put her communication talisman back into her space pouch.

There were actually still Yaya and Lucia who were idle.

At first, Tang Li Xue planned to send Yaya and Lucia to help Xi’er, but she immediately scrapped that idea.

Both Yaya and Lucia were only immature newborn babies compared to Xi’er with her ten thousand years of experience. Well, although Xi’er spent all of her time confined in the Underwater Palace, but at least her mind was much more mature than Yaya and Lucia.

Yaya and Lucia might be very obedient and well-behaved in front of Tang Li Xue, but both of them were actually always curious about new things, and they could easily get distracted by those things.

Tang Li Xue was afraid that not only would Yaya and Lucia not be able to help Xi’er, but they would become Xi’er’s burden instead.

She was already worried and anxious to death when she imagined the chaotic combination of the Xi’er, Yaya, and Lucia.

As for Little Loki, it might sometimes look as immature as Yaya and Lucia, but it has [Instant Teleportation], the ability to turn invisible and undetectable, an extremely keen sense of danger, and [Heaven’s Devour].

Its ability covered everything from displacement, hiding, detection, and perfect defense, so Tang Li Xue could feel relieved when she gave the task of gathering information in the Imperial Palace to Little Loki.

Tang Li Xue immediately returned to her work to formulate her escape plan.

Determining the timing and route for her escape was extremely crucial because previously, she basically just depended on her perfect copy by using [Swap] and re-summon tactics to avoid all kinds of danger.

Unfortunately, she currently could not use all of her divine abilities and regalia, so it would be over for her if she bumped into any great danger later.

That was the reason why she had to be extra careful and try to come up with the most flawless escape plan possible.

Tang Li Xue’s topaz blue eyes glinted with a sharp cold light as she muttered in a chilling tone: "Since you even want to try to kill me with an explosion then please do not blame me for making bigger fireworks to pay it back later."

Tang Li Xue’s life creed was that if someone was kind to her, she would repay their kindness tenfold, if anyone did something bad to her, then she would pay them back a hundred times.

Just like what she had done to Gu Shengxin before, she really beat Gu Shengxin 200 times to make him pay for what he had done to mermaid Princess Yan Fei.

.....

Right at this moment, the Second Prince and his mother, Concubine Liu, also heard the news of a rumor outside that told about the Third Prince’s love story with the fox girl.

When the Second Prince and Concubine Liu were playing chess while chatting casually in the pavilion inside the Concubine Liu’s courtyard, an eunuch suddenly came and reported to them the news about the rumor.

The Second Prince chuckled and said: "What an interesting story."

Concubine Liu giggled and added: "That fox girl is really smart."

The Second Prince thought the fox girl brought back by the Third Prince was only a beautiful vase, but it seemed he underestimated her too much before.

First, the fox girl was still able to survive unscathed when the royal family’s carriage exploded.

Second, the fox girl could actually counter the slanderous rumor about her being the spy from the other dynasties and even turn it into a love story which would benefit herself since she would gain support from many people.

Just these two things alone were more than enough to prove that the fox girl was far from simple.

Despite that, both the Second Prince and Concubine Liu do not think too optimistically of Tang Li Xue because they have guessed that the arrogant First Prince and the hotheaded Empress will never tolerate a wild fox girl getting together with the Third Prince.

Especially since the Third Prince had already engaged with the daughter of Lu Aristocratic family, Lu Yixin.

In a critical moment when the battle for the throne could break at any time, the First Prince’s side could not afford to offend the Lu Aristocratic family and lose their support.

The First Prince and Empress would definitely do their best to get rid of that wild fox girl.

After the Second Prince let the eunuch go back, he began to discuss the fox girl matter further with his mother, Concubine Liu.

They thought that the wild fox girl who was brought back by the Third Prince out of nowhere might be their key to driving a wedge between the Lu Family and the Zhou Family.

It was clear that Tang Li Xue’s future would only become more and more dangerous with the First Prince, Empress Zhou, the Second Prince, and Concubine Liu who would keep targeting her with their conspiracies from behind the scenes.
