Chapter 656 Chapter 656: Half Success! ?

Successfully entering the Imperial Palace was only the first step for Tang Li Xue.

The next thing she had to do right now was to look for information about the current situation of the Emperor.

Tang Li Xue needed to know whether the reckless plan of the two foxes was successful or not in order for her to devise the next plan.

But it was not hard for Tang Li Xue since she only need to order Wang Shan to do it for her with [Mystic Whisper].

Under Tang Li Xue’s [Mystic Whisper] effect, Wang Shan pulled some patrolling royal guards and questioned them more clearly about the current situation.

Tang Li Xue previously guessed that the reckless plan of the two foxes would probably fail, but the actual situation right now surprised her instead.

According to the information given by the patrolling royal guards, those intruders might have managed to sneak into the Imperial Palace by disguising themselves as guards.

After successfully entering the Imperial Palace, they changed their disguise from guards to maids, and they took a chance to seduce the Emperor early in the morning when the Emperor headed to the library.

Surprisingly, the intruders’ trick worked extremely well, and the lustful Emperor really fell into their honey trap trick.

When Tang Li Xue heard this part, her pink lips puckered slightly in displeasure.

‘What a stupid Emperor is this?! He probably already had more than a dozen concubines in his imperial harem and yet he still got seduced by those two vixens?! What an idiot~!’ Tang Li Xue thought disdainfully about the lustful Emperor.

But despite Tang Li Xue’s merciless complaint, the Emperor actually could not be completely blamed for it.

The reason was actually because the charm and beauty of Fox Race were undeniably above the Human Race.

Even though the charm and beauty of those two foxes still could not be compared with Tang Li Xue as Imperial Sun and Moon Fox, but the Emperor still clearly could not resist their temptation at all.

Tang Li Xue secretly recalled the appearance of those two foxes in her mind.

The petite fox girl was a charming little loli with long khaki-colored hair bound with the twin tails hairstyle. She might look childish and innocent, but those would certainly attract the urge of the men to protect her instead.

While the tall fox girl wearing a green dress not only has a beautiful face but also a perfect sexy figure. The most attractive about her was her pair of smooth long legs. If she wore a pair of silk stockings on her smooth long legs and a Short Cheongsam Dress, her charm would probably be doubled in an instant.

Tang Li Xue: ‘…..’

Tang Li Xue suddenly thought it was not entirely the Emperor’s fault for being seduced by those two vixens.

Tang Li Xue quickly shook her head to clear any distraction from her mind and continued to hear the next part of the story from the patrolling royal guards.

At first, the plan of those two foxes went pretty smoothly.

The lustful Emperor was really attracted by their charm and beauty when the two of them were disguised as passing by maids, then he invited both of them to drink tea together in his courtyard.

Of course, the two disguising foxes would not refuse the lustful Emperor’s offer and followed the lustful Emperor to his courtyard together.

Under their continuous temptation on the way to the Emperor’s courtyard, the lustful Emperor could no longer restrain himself, and he impatiently dragged the two of them into his room.

Well, this was the true turning point for everyone.

Even Tang Li Xue was fidgeting impatiently to hear if the two foxes succeeded or not.

But just like Tang Li Xue had expected before, the two foxes actually failed to catch the Emperor even after he had already lowered his guard for them.

The reason for their failure was also just like Tang Li Xue had thought before. It was because they failed to realize that the Emperor had a pretty high cultivation level, but he deliberately hid it from everyone, except his most trusted people!

Yes… The two foxes never expected that the Emperor’s cultivation had already reached the peak of the Core Formation Stage, only a half step away from reaching the Nascent Soul Stage!

However, Tang Li Xue thought that those two foxes were really lucky since if the lustful Emperor’s cultivation had already reached the Nascent Soul Stage, those two foxes would definitely have been caught by him right now.

In the end, the Emperor still lacked a lot of fighting experience against powerful foes, so he could barely defend himself against those two foxes for a few breaths.

The Emperor’s closest bodyguard squad, the Shadow Guards, immediately sensed their battle from in front of the room, and they hastily barged into the Emperor’s room to help the Emperor fight against those two foxes.

The two foxes quickly noticed that they could no longer catch the Emperor and used him as their hostage in that situation, so they decided to hastily run away from there.

After that, the Emperor ordered the Imperial Palace to be completely sealed, and no one could go out from the Imperial Palace until those two intruders got caught. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs Novᴇlꜰɪre.ɴet

In short, those two intruders should be still inside the Imperial Palace, and they were currently hiding or disguising as someone else.

Until that part, Tang Li Xue really thought the plan of those two foxes really failed… But the next information from those patrolling guards made Tang Li Xue amazed at them.

Those two foxes actually had a crucial backup plan that they had not told Tang Li Xue before!

Yes, they actually managed to poison the Emperor!

‘Woah, to think they take the chance when they were seducing that Emperor to poison him too~!’ Tang Li Xue exclaimed in amazement.

Tang Li Xue guessed that the Emperor’s poison should be caused by the tall fox girl’s divine abilities since her divine abilities were mostly about wood and plant control.

Currently, the Emperor’s condition was quite worrying.

Those Imperial alchemists had already tried their best to detoxify the poison, but they could only slow down the effect of the poison so far.

Ten minutes ago or so, the intruders even left a threatening letter to them.

Those intruders threatened that they must open the Imperial Palace’s gates and let them out, then turn off the Sealing Protection Formation.

After they did all of those, the intruders promised to give the antidote to cure the Emperor’s poison to them.

The current situation in the Imperial Palace was extremely tense and worrisome.

Everyone was suspicious of each other since the intruders might be disguised as any one of them.

Their higher-ups, the Empress Dowager, princes, generals, and ministers were debating very fiercely right now.

On one side, they worried about the Emperor’s condition and wanted to fulfill the intruder’s demands to obtain the poison’s antidote, but on the other side, they clearly could not believe the intruders’ words at all.

After hearing all the information, Tang Li Xue was very surprised that the plan of those two foxes had actually gone that far.

In Tang Li Xue’s opinion, their plan basically had already half success!

Tang Li Xue’s expression turned solemn as she thought: ‘No, the current situation may not actually look as good as it seems.’

‘According to my knowledge of ancient dynasties, there is a pretty high chance that some people or princes may use this chance to kill the Emperor and put the blame on those two foxes, so they will have a chance to become the next Emperor.’ Tang Li Xue deduced in her mind.

‘So, before the Emperor’s situation deteriorates or even loses his life, I must take advantage of this opportunity to make my move!’ Tang Li Xue determined firmly in her heart.

After Wang Shan let the patrolling royal guards continue to do their task, Tang Li Xue used her [Mystic Whisper] on Wang Shan again and ordered: “Take me to the place where the formation core is placed.”

Wang Shan nodded with a blank expression on his face.

On their way, they met with a lot of patrolling royal guards and imperial soldiers, but with Wang Shan’s escort, no one suspected Tang Li Xue at all even though her appearance might be the most suspicious with a veil and hood covering her face and head.

But Tang Li Xue’s luck did not last long since they immediately blocked before they could even approach the formation department building.

Wang Shan tried to coerce and threaten the royal guards and imperial soldiers who guarding the formation department building, but they still did not let him and Tang Li Xue proceed even one step closer to the formation department building.

Tang Li Xue carefully observed the formation department building and thought: ‘There are at least more than one hundred royal guards and imperial soldiers guarding this place. Many of them even have the Core Formation Stage cultivation.’

‘I bet there should be one or two Nascent Soul Stage cultivators that secretly guarding inside there. The security in this place is too tight.’ Tang Li Xue shook her head in frustration.
