Double Life: The Sickly Prince Eavesdrops on My Heart

The third prince is getting married today.

The entire prince’s palace was decorated with lights and colors, and it was all red and festive.

Qin Yue got up before dawn and started dressing up. She wore a pink brocade wedding gown embroidered with auspicious clouds. Her hair was tied up high, and she wore a hairpin with a gilded pendant on her head. She wore a pink rose on her temples, and with her delicate makeup on her face, she looked noble and elegant.

She sat in her boudoir quietly waiting for the Third Prince to come and pick her up. She waited from the 3rd hour of the morning till the dawn, but there was no sign of the wedding procession. She hadn't drunk a sip of water since she had finished dressing up, and she was so thirsty and hungry from waiting!

When it was almost 9 o'clock, the sound of music was heard. Qin Yue hurriedly sat up straight, keeping herself in the best condition and waiting for the third prince to come and pick her up.

After waiting for a long time, the matchmaker came running in, and two maids helped her out of the room.

The wedding procession followed to the main gate. Outside the gate was the Third Prince's sedan chair, but the Third Prince himself was nowhere to be seen.

Everyone understood it at a glance. If he married both a principal wife and a concubine at the same time, he must be going to marry the principal wife!

Qin Yue's face was frighteningly gloomy. If it weren't for the veil covering her face, she would have scared everyone.

After the simple ceremony, Qin Yue finally got on the sedan chair and walked towards the prince's palace.

After arriving, the sedan bearers carried the sedan in through the side door and directly carried it to the bridal chamber without any ceremony.

"Concubine, please wait in the new room! Remember not to leave the room!" said a maid.

Qin Yue said nothing. After everyone left, she lifted her veil and looked at her handsome face in the mirror. However, no one cared about her and she was filled with anger!

It’s all because of this damn princess. If it weren’t for her, Qin Yue would be the protagonist today. At least the Third Prince would go to pick her up, and today’s wedding ceremony would also be hers!

Now, she can only come in through the side door and wait in the house for a whole day without eating or drinking. The Third Prince may not come to her room at night!

Compared to the quietness on her side, the front yard was much more lively. Princes, nobles, and dignitaries from Kyoto all came to attend the wedding of the third prince.

Xiao Jingxuan and Qin Ruhuan walked in together, and everyone looked over at them.

"Prince Jing and the daughter of the Prime Minister are such a perfect match!"

"What a handsome man and beautiful woman! A match made in heaven!"

"I heard that the emperor has granted the marriage, and the only thing left is the date!"

Xiao Jingxuan listened to the discussion of the crowd, with a slight smile on his face. The eyes of the masses are sharp!

Qin Ruhuan glanced at her: Show off!

The guests have arrived one after another, and the wedding procession has returned. There are loud gongs and drums and firecrackers at the gate.

Qin Ruhuan and Xiao Jingxuan stood in the courtyard and watched the bride and groom walk in wearing bright red wedding dresses! Everyone made way for them.

When they arrived at the lobby, the two held a grand wedding ceremony!

"Worship heaven and earth!"

"Two thanks to the high hall!"

"Couple greetings!"

"Send to the bridal chamber!"

After the complicated wedding ceremony, Hu Qingyao was helped back to the bridal chamber.

All the guests have already taken their seats and the banquet has begun. The Third Prince has invited the best chef in the capital today and has prepared sixty tables of food. All the food and ingredients are of the finest quality!

The third prince held a wine glass and toasted at each table. His face was already red from drinking.

"Your Highness, there is an urgent matter with the princess, and she wants you to come over!" A servant came over and called him.

"Everyone drink first, I will be back soon!"

After saying that, he followed the servant to Hu Qingyao’s new house!

Suddenly, the servant in front turned around, took out a knife and stabbed him!

The third prince was startled and tried to dodge, but was still stabbed in the arm!

"Someone come! Someone come!" the third prince shouted.

The man stabbed again, and the third prince blocked it with his arm, which was immediately stabbed and blood gushed out!

Upon hearing the shout, the guards immediately stepped forward and fought with the assassin! The third prince took the opportunity to escape.

Immediately, guards stepped forward to protect the third prince! Several people turned around and ran to the front yard.

"Swish! Swish!" Several arrows shot at them!

Two guards were shot by arrows and fell down, and the rest immediately drew their swords to block them!

"Swish! Swish! Swish!" Arrows kept shooting towards us!

"Someone come! There's an assassin!" The guards were shot and fell to the ground one after another! The third prince screamed in fear!

At this time, he had already run back to a place not far from the banquet. The assassin on the wall was chasing him quickly, and the arrows were shot more intensively!

"Ah!" The Third Prince was shot in the shoulder and leg at the same time! He fell to the ground instantly, and several guards surrounded him to protect him!

Everyone who was having dinner heard the shouting and looked over together!

"There are assassins!"

Suddenly the guests began to hide and run everywhere, the scene was in chaos!

Xiao Jingxuan took Qin Ruhuan's hand and stood aside to observe the situation, with Fei Ye and Fei Xue protecting him on his left and right.

The Sixth Prince also quickly ran to Xiao Jingxuan, "Uncle, are you okay?"

The guards in the palace heard the noise and immediately came out to protect the third prince. Some of them took out bows and arrows and started to fight back!

Some of the men in black were shot by arrows and fell from the wall, and more people kept coming up. It was obvious that their target was the third prince.

The Third Prince was now grimacing in pain, "Kill them! No! Capture them alive!"

More and more guards rushed over to protect the third prince and several other princes. The men in black were desperate and concentrated their firepower to shoot arrows in this direction.

Qin Ruhuan reached towards her waist, trying to take out her Star Dart.

Xiao Jingxuan grabbed her hand and shook his head at her. Unless it is absolutely necessary, don't expose your strength in front of everyone!

Qin Ruhuan had no choice but to put her hands down and watch the battle under their protection!

Suddenly, several arrows shot towards Xiao Jingxuan and Qin Ruhuan. Fei Ye Feixue immediately flew forward to block the arrows!

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen arrows shot over, and Xiao Jingxuan drew out his sword and quickly shot down a few of them!

Fei Ye Fei Xue tried her best to stand in front of several people, and the Sixth Prince also joined the battle with a sword! Suddenly an arrow shot at Xiao Jingxuan, and he was blocking the arrow for Qin Ruhuan at this moment!

The Sixth Prince had no time to remind him and rushed forward to block Xiao Jingxuan. A sharp arrow shot straight into his chest. The Sixth Prince felt a sharp pain and slowly fell down.

"Yier!" Xiao Jingxuan watched him fall down with an arrow stuck in his chest!

"Sixth Prince! Sixth Prince!"

"Go back to the house! Feixue and Feiye provide cover!"

Xiao Jingxuan picked up the Sixth Prince and rushed to the hall, while Fei Ye Feixue protected Qin Ruhuan and retreated.

Several people came to the hall. Many guests were hiding here at this time. Several other princes were also there. Seeing that the Sixth Prince was injured, they all came over.

"Sixth brother! Sixth brother!" The second prince, the fourth prince and the fifth prince all shouted anxiously.

Xiao Jingxuan's eyes were red. The Sixth Prince was the only prince who was closest to him. They had a very close relationship, like father and son!

"Yier! Wake up! Yier!" Xiao Jingxuan shouted anxiously.

The Sixth Prince slowly opened his eyes, "Uncle, I'm fine! It just hurts a little!"

"Hold on, Yi'er, the doctor will be here soon!"

"No need, uncle! I don't need the imperial physician anymore!" Xiao Yi said weakly.
