However, Tang Li Xue quickly realized that her preparations were completely unnecessary because Miracle Doctor Xu and his middle-aged protector were currently not there.
It made sense since Miracle Doctor Xu should be going to work at Supreme Healing Hall at this time.
If not for that, then he and his middle-aged protector would have already come here to check when they heard a loud noise caused by Little Loki devouring the entire door and wall.
Tang Li Xue sighed in relief as she thought: 'Fortunately, that annoying cold guy went to work at the Supreme Healing Hall right now, or I might not be able to escape so easily like this.'
While increasing her pace as she walked further from Miracle Doctor Xu's courtyard, Tang Li Xue solemnly complained in her heart: 'This Imperial Palace is really too damn dangerous! It seems I have to carry out my task to lure out the Second Prince as soon as possible, then get out from this treacherous place before another problem arises.'
After she was some distance away from Miracle Doctor Xu's courtyard, Tang Li Xue activated her [Myriad Manifestation Fox Mask]'s ability, [Thousand Myriad Faces], to disguise herself as a patrolling guard.
Even though no one would be able to notice her when she was wandering around with her perfect level of the [Art of Concealment] activated, but it was very tasking to maintain her perfect level of the [Art of Concealment] for a long time.
Maintaining the Samadhi state of mind without any intention or desire in order to become one with nature would rapidly consume her mental energy.
Tang Li Xue concluded that she might only be able to maintain her perfect level of the [Art of Concealment] for fifteen minutes at most in her current condition.
On the other hand, disguising herself with [Thousand Myriad Faces] would not consume her energy at all, and she could maintain her disguise as long as she wanted.
(Thousand Myriad Faces: The wearer can perfectly disguise as anyone, including the target's clothes, appearance, body shape, aura, smell, cultivation, and so on, which makes anyone unable to see through the disguise. The disguise will break if the wearer gets hit by a powerful strike. Duration: 3 hours. Cooldown: 3 hours.)
As for why she chose to disguise herself as a patrolling guard instead of other people like maid, servant, or eunuch, it was because only patrolling guards could wander around inside the Imperial Palace without being suspected by others.
Tang Li Xue wandered around for more than an hour and still failed to find the Second Prince's courtyard.
In the end, she decided to pull another patrol guard to the corner and asked him about the location of the Second Prince's courtyard.
The patrol guard did not reply to Tang Li Xue's question and stared suspiciously at her instead.
Tang Li Xue had already anticipated this since yesterday. That was the reason why she had not dared to blatantly ask about the location of the Second Prince's courtyard to anyone since yesterday.
If Tang Li Xue was not concerned that the Miracle Doctor Xu would look for her after he came back and found she had already escaped, she would definitely choose to search for the Second Prince's courtyard slowly but safely.
Tang Li Xue showed a flattering smile at the patrol guard who was staring suspiciously at her.
Then she took some Yuan Coins from her space pouch and secretly shoved them to the patrol guard while explaining: "Someone asked me to send a letter to His Highness Second Prince. I will get more rewards from that person if I successfully give the letter to His Highness Second Prince. Don't worry, I will not forget your share later, okay?"
The patrol guard's suspicious expression instantly turned into a bright smile as he carefully looked around while putting away the Yuan Coins given by Tang Li Xue.
"You really have big guts to dare to accept such a request. Don't you dare to mention me if you get caught later, do you get it?!" The patrol guard sternly warned Tang Li Xue.
Tang Li Xue nodded her head and replied in a reassuring tone: "Don't worry, brother."
"His Highness Second Prince's courtyard is located at the northwest, near the Hall of Mental Cultivation." The patrol guard whispered softly to Tang Li Xue before he quickly turned around and walked away as if he had never known Tang Li Xue at all.
Tang Li Xue nodded her head in satisfaction at the patrol guard's answer.
She immediately headed in the direction pointed by the patrol guard while pondering her next plan carefully.
'I must not get too close to that bast*rd's home, or he can just ask his guards to arrest me on the spot. But I am too far from that bast*rd's home, then he would not be able to sense my Phoenix of Pride with his Earthly Desire Spirit.' Tang Li Xue frowned deeply in dilemma.
The only way for Tang Li Xue to approach the Second Prince's courtyard without being noticed by the Second Prince's personal guards was by using her perfect level of the [Art of Concealment]! frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
