He knew well that some day, sooner or later, there would come an hour when Chow-sin would be at his mercy. When the time came, therefore, for Ta-ki to go to the palace, Fox Sprite felt that at last his chance had come. The beautiful maiden for whom Chow-sin had given up so many hundreds of his soldiers, would clearly have great power over the Emperor.
"Spare not one of them," he shouted, "for they are traitors to the Dragon Throne." Once more the viceroy's friends resolved to support him, even to the death. Ta-ki, his daughter, went apart from the other members of the family, weeping most bitterly that she had brought such sorrow upon them.
"But the Emperor won't have a fox for a wife," she sobbed. "Though I am still a fox I shall look like the beautiful Ta-ki. Make your heart easy. He will never know." "Oh, I see," she smiled, "you will put your spirit into my body and you will look just like me, though you really won't be me. But what will become of the real me? Shall I have to be a fox and look like you?"
The next day he despatched a messenger to the Emperor, promising to bring Ta-ki at once to the capital.

Through all the years of strife between Chow-sin and the rebels, Fox Sprite had been waiting patiently for his chance.
