Reincarnated As a Fox With System-Chapter 924: Arrested!

Tang Li Xue who was still alone in her room suddenly halted the pen in her grasp and frowned deeply.

She faintly had a foreboding sense that she seemed to be dragged closer and closer into the eye of the storm.

She felt that she would be shredded to pieces if she could not escape further from the eye of the storm as soon as possible.

"This feeling is so uncomfortable... Looks like I cannot drag it on for any longer." Tang Li Xue bit her pink lips while mumbling in a solemn expression.

A few days after that, Tang Li Xue kept shutting herself in her room.

The Third Prince came to look for her several times, but she refused to accompany him for long by saying that she was still not in good health and needed more rest.

The Third Prince felt regretful, but he did not force it.

He also did not doubt Tang Li Xue’s words since Tang Li Xue was truly weak and sickly when the first time they met.

Of course, Tang Li Xue has already recovered a lot compared to back then after she began to practice [Void Divinities Refining Method] and refined the destructive space energy in her energy bit by bit.

Even though her cultivation and beast power were in a crippled state, and she could not use any of them yet, but by relying solely on her [Void Divinities Refining Method], her current strength was equal to the high-rank of Acupuncture Opening Stage cultivator.

Despite that, Tang Li Xue never show it in front of anyone even to the Third Prince. She still put on a weak and sickly act in front of everyone in order to let their guard down.

If it was before, Tang Li Xue might have wanted to show some of her strength to the Third Prince to let him know that she was not a mere beautiful vase or to take some of her time to entertain him.

After all, the Third Prince was her only backer in this Azure Mist Continent.

But now, she no longer cared about the Third Prince’s opinion of her anymore because she already decided to run away as soon as possible from this Imperial City.

In these few days, Tang Li Xue would either study the maps given by Xi’er and devise the safest escape route or practice [Void Divinities Refining Method] intensely to increase her strength.

Tang Li Xue thought everything had gone so well in these few days, so perhaps, she would really be able to complete her preparations soon enough, and she only needed to find the perfect timing for her escape.

Unfortunately, trouble had actually come to her instead before she could finish the last step.

Tang Li Xue who was practicing [Void Divinities Refining Method] frowned slightly when she heard the commotion from outside her room.

"What are you doing?! This is Your Highness Third Prince’s courtyard! How dare you..." The guards outside angrily shouted, but before he could finish his words, another harsh voice immediately interrupted him.

"Move aside! There was news that some assassins sneaked into the palace last night. We were ordered to look for all over the palace without any exception to find those assassins!" The harsh voice replied without any trace of politeness.

The Third Prince’s guards definitely would not let them do whatever they wanted and rummage the Third Prince’s place.

In that instant, the atmosphere became so tense as if the two sides would clash against each other at any time.

Tang Li Xue ended her practice, got out of bed, and opened the door of her room, then asked the maids in bewilderment: "What is wrong? Who are those people? How could they dare to mess around inside the palace like this?"

The maids bowed politely to Tang Li Xue and one of them hastily explained: "Those people are from Jinyiwei. That is why they dare to do whatever they want in the palace."

"Ji... Jinyiwei?!" Tang Li Xue exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, Young Miss. Err... To be exact, Jinyiwei are the special imperial guards who directly serve under His Majesty Emperor. But..." The other maid tried to explain clearly to Tang Li Xue, but she did not dare to explain it further than that.

In short, Jinyiwei could do whatever they wanted because only the Emperor could order them around, but the Emperor’s current condition was still unclear right now.

The Emperor has never even been to court in these last few years. He might be dying on his bed now, so how could he give any orders to these Jinyiwei?!

As for the news about some assassins sneaking into the palace last night, that was clearly a made-up story.

Several powerful masters who had cultivation levels above the Nascent Soul Stage were secretly guarding the Imperial Palace, so it should be impossible for any assassins to sneak into the Imperial Palace.

It was clear that those people from Jinyiwei had an ulterior motive for doing this.

Tang Li Xue even began to feel that these Jinyiwei people might be targeting her.

Tang Li Xue realized that the situation was not looking good since those people from Jinyiwei had much stronger cultivation compared to the Third Prince’s guards, so it should be impossible for the Third Prince’s guards to stop the people from Jinyiwei.

Tang Li Xue asked the maids and guards again in a worried tone: "Where is His Highness the Third Prince?"

At this rate, only the Third Prince himself might be able to stop these Jinyiwei people, so Tang Li Xue could only hope that the Third Prince could do something right now.

Unfortunately, everything clearly would not go her way that easily. Find more to read at novelbuddy

"I am sorry, Young Miss, but His Highness the Third Prince has been out since early in the morning and has not come back yet." One of the maids replied in a timid tone.

Tang Li Xue sighed in disappointment after she heard the maid’s reply.

’It seems I really have no way to get away from them. Fortunately, I already made some preparations earlier.’ Tang Li Xue calmly thought.

It did not take long for the people from Jinyiwei to lose their patience and forcefully knock away the guards.

The Third Prince’s guards glared angrily but did not dare to fight back against the Jinyiwei people, so they could only helplessly let the Jinyiwei people barge into the Third Prince’s courtyard.

There was also nothing Tang Li Xue and the maids could do to stop those Jinyiwei people as they forcefully entered and searched all the rooms in the Third Prince’s courtyard one by one.

Tang Li Xue did not plan to stop the Jinyiwei people when they approached her room, so she just stood aside at the door and let them search her room.

But Tang Li Xue knew that this would definitely not end just like that since she or anyone could just store everything suspicious in their space pouch or spatial treasures to hide them.

Just like what Tang Li Xue had expected, the Jinyiwei people began to focus their attention on her and interrogate her after they searched her room.

"You do not seem to be a maid or guard here. Who are you?" One of the Jinyiwei people asked Tang Li Xue with a tone filled with suspicion.

Tang Li Xue was wearing a [Moon Covering Veil] and black [Aura Hiding Cloak] to cover her stunning face along with her silver fox tail and ears, so no wonder Jinyiwei people could immediately spot her among the crowd.

"This Young Miss is His Highness Third Prince’s most important guest." The head maid quickly said in order to intimidate the Jinyiwei people.

The head maid thought the Jinyiwei people would no longer dare to touch Tang Li Xue after they heard it, but contrary to her expectations, the Jinyiwei people became even more suspicious of Tang Li Xue instead.

"His Highness Third Prince’s most important guest? But lady, this person’s attire does not look like an ’important guest’, she looks very suspicious instead!" The person from Jinyiwei stated coldly.

"Do you want to show your face yourself or let us do it?" The other Jinyiwei asked in a threatening tone.

Tang Li Xue hesitated for a while before she put away her [Moon Covering Veil] and pitch-black [Aura Hiding Cloak] because she knew that she had no choice other than to obey these Jinyiwei people for now.

Tang Li Xue’s extremely beautiful and charming appearance instantly dazzles all Jinyiwei people for a few moments.

Then they immediately blushed in embarrassment after they woke up from their stupor.

"You... So, you are not a human? A fox lady from the fox race, huh... No wonder you are so... astonishing. His Highness Third Prince really has a very high standard." The head of Jinyiwei people praised while admiring Tang Li Xue’s charming look.

"Thank you for your praise." Tang Li Xue politely smiled at him but her topaz blue eyes remained cold and distant.

"However, we have to apologize to you first since we still have to detain you for a while. At least until His Highness Third Prince gives us a clear explanation about your identity." The head of the Jinyiwei people continued to say as he signaled his people to catch Tang Li Xue.

"Wait~! How dare you..." Several maids yelled angrily to stop the Jinyiwei people, but the Jinyiwei people easily pushed them away.

Tang Li Xue frowned deeply when she saw that as she hastily said: "Stop it! I will follow you, so do not hurt them."

"But Young Miss..." Several maids worriedly muttered, but Tang Li Xue shook her head to stop them from worrying too much about her.

There was nothing these guards or maids could do to stop the Jinyiwei people anyway, and the situation might even turn worse if she tried to resist.
