Reincarnated As a Fox With System novel Chapter 920

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 Xue’s pitiful expression.

’Sigh, 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.’ 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.

’Success~! As I expected from myself, it seems my acting skill still deserves to win an Oscar!’ 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: ’No, 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?’

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.

’It looks like I have to speed up my escape plan...’ 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 Prince’s 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 army’s 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 army’s 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.
