Chapter 902: Chapter 902: Third Prince's Fiance!

?

"Woah, what a smart guy~!" Tang Li Xue exclaimed in admiration after she heard the Third Prince's story.

"But isn't it easy to detect the already used spirit stones since the spiritual energy stored inside them will be weakened?" Tang Li Xue asked again curiously.

The Third Prince shook his head and replied: "They used a strange trick to make the used spirit stones still look perfect on the surface."

Tang Li Xue pinched her fair chin as she wondered if she could also learn this strange trick and use it to fool the cultivators in Lightwind Continent if she someday returned back to Lightwind Continent.

Right at this time, their carriage had finally reached the Imperial Palace.

"We have arrived at the Imperial Palace. I am sorry, Miss Tang, but can you please wear that [Aura Hiding Cloak] and [Moon Covering Veil] first? It would be troublesome if your dazzling appearance attracted unwanted attention from some annoying people." The Third Prince politely said to Tang Li Xue.

"Oh, okay." Tang Li Xue nodded as she wore the [Aura Hiding Cloak] and [Moon Covering Veil] to cover her fox tails, fox ears, and face.

The Third Prince jumped down the carriage first before he held Tang Li Xue's hand and helped her to get off the carriage too.

Tang Li Xue was currently still sickly and weak after all, so she might slip and fall down from the carriage.

But just when the Third Prince wanted to escort Tang Li Xue into the Imperial Palace, a group of people had already gone out of the Imperial Palace's gate to greet him first.

"Big Brother Yunfei~!" A feminine melodious voice affectionately called the Third Prince. Tang Li Xue saw a beautiful young girl in a pink dress run excitedly toward the Third Prince. This young girl in the pink dress should have been extremely beautiful by the human race standards, but unfortunately, her look could only be said to be average at best when she was compared to the beauties from the Fox Clan.

Of course, it was really unfair to compare them like that since the Fox Clan was known as the most beautiful and charming race.

Despite that, Tang Li Xue did not want to flaunt or compare her looks with anyone, so she decided to stand a few steps behind the Third Prince and lowered her head in a low-key manner.

Because she had already worn [Aura Hiding Cloak] and [Moon Covering Veil], her presence had become even lower, and she was almost completely unnoticeable to everyone.

Just when the beautiful young girl in a pink dress almost reached the Third Prince and spread her hands to give him a hug, the Third Prince suddenly raised his hand to stop her instead.

"Miss Lu Yixin, you are a daughter of an aristocratic family, so can you please act more reserved?" The Third Prince said coldly to the beautiful young girl in a pink dress.

The eyes of that beautiful young girl became teary as if she was greatly wronged by the Third Prince.

Even Tang Li Xue felt that the Third Prince was a bit too harsh to that beautiful young girl. But the beautiful young girl in a pink dress was actually glaring resentfully at her instead! Tang Li Xue: ???!!!

Tang Li Xue looked around her in confusion to check if the beautiful young girl really glared resentfully at her.

'What the heck? Clearly, it was that guy who had said something harsh to her, but why the heck she glared angrily at me instead?! There is definitely something wrong with this girl's head, right?!' Tang Li Xue thought as her expression darkened.

However, the beautiful young girl changed her expression quicker than a blink of an eye right before the Third Prince realized it, and she began to talk to the Third Prince again in a soft gentle tone: "Big Brother Yunfei, who is this person?"

The beautiful young girl's coquettish tone and voice made Tang Li Xue have goosebumps, and her body felt cold.

Her feeling was really unpleasant as if her body was being wrapped and stared at by a poisonous snake.

Tang Li Xue had a strong hunch that the beautiful young girl in a pink dress was deliberately targeting her.

It was not hard for Tang Li Xue to guess the beautiful young girl's reason for that. Tang Li Xue quickly realized that this beautiful young girl should like the Third Prince very much, but the Third Prince suddenly brought another girl who was much more beautiful than her back, so it made sense this beautiful young girl would get jealous because of it, right?

'Oh, wait a minute... How does she know that I am much more beautiful than her? I have already covered myself with (Aura Hiding Cloak] and [Moon Covering Veil], right? So, she should not be able to see my appearance until now.' Tang Li Xue thought while frowning suspiciously.

Tang Li Xue smelled the thick stench of conspiracy behind all of this.

'Sigh... I see, so this should be about the struggle for the throne, huh... What a troublesome thing!' Tang Li Xue took a deep breath to calm herself down.

Tang Li Xue had seen many movies or novels about this theme in her previous life.

'Three Kingdoms' was one of her most favorite ones.

In short, she already knew how cruel the political struggle for the throne was because of that.

Something like blood relatives or compassion means nothing in front of the temptation of the throne.

To be honest, she really did not want to get herself involved in something bloody like this struggle for the throne, but she did not have any other choice right now.

Moreover, it was already far too late for her to regret it.

Because the moment she stepped into this Capital City of the Great Wei Dynasty with the Third Prince, she had already tied herself to the Third Prince's side.

'Aisss, I had guessed that everything would not be that easy even if I hugged the 'thigh' of this prince, but I had never expected that I would be greeted with such a troublesome conspiracy as soon as I got off from the carriage.' Tang Li Xue complained in her heart. Even the Third Prince was clearly annoyed by the nagging of a beautiful young girl in a pink dress, so he replied to her in a cold threatening tone: "This person is my life-saver, so Miss Lu, you better not do anything to insult or hurt her. If you really dare to do it, then I will..." "Then you will what?!" The beautiful girl in a pink dress asked with a face filled with tears. "Big Brother Yunfei, you have changed-!" The beautiful girl in a pink dress shouted angrily at the third prince before she ran back into the imperial palace.

The Third Prince did not bother to chase after the beautiful girl in a pink dress.

He turned around to face Tang Li Xue and explained to her with a doting expression: "I am

really sorry if that girl makes you uncomfortable, Miss Tang."

"No, it is all right." Tang Li Xue shook her head to show that she did not mind it at all.

"It seems there is some misunderstanding between that girl and me. Can I know who she is?" Tang Li Xue asked to the Third Prince.

Tang Li Xue actually did not feel curious about it, but it was a necessary piece of information for her to know in order to understand the overall situation in the imperial palace.

She would likely stay for quite some time in this imperial palace from now on after all.

The Third Prince hesitated for a while before he sighed and explained to Tang Li Xue while leading her to step into the gate of the imperial palace: "You still remember about the Great Wei Dynasty's four most influential aristocratic families, right?"

Tang Li Xue nodded her head while following the Third Prince closely from behind and muttered: "Liu, Zhou, Chen, and Lu?"

"That girl is Lu Yixin, the daughter of the Lu Family. Oh, and she is also my fiance." The Third

Prince added.

Tang Li Xue: ???!!!

'Woah, that girl is actually this guy's fiance?! I thought she was just his admirer or

something!' Tang Li Xue exclaimed in her heart.

At first, Tang Li Xue thought that the Third Prince was truly a rude person since he even

treated his fiance like that.

But she immediately thought about the political struggle for the throne and realized that she should not judge the truth just by seeing it.

All kinds of bloody plots she had ever read in political dramas and novels emerged in her mind, something like betrayal, hidden conspiracy, and forced marriage.

Tang Li Xue hastily shook her head to push away the distracting thoughts while thinking: 'Anyway, that is none of my business to think about. I should just focus on what I had to do

next.'

The Third Prince began to tell Tang Li Xue about the Imperial Palace since there were many places where she could not step into like the imperial court, imperial harem courtyards, cold

palace, and so on.

Tang Li Xue saw so many bright-colored flowers and plants that she had never seen before in

Lightwind Continent.

Because of them, Tang Li Xue also finally realized that the spiritual energy in this Azure Mist Continent was actually much denser and purer than in the Lightwind Continent.

That might be the main factor that made the flowers and plants here look much more fertile and special than in the Lightwind Continent.
