Double Life: The Sickly Prince Eavesdrops on My Heart

Qin Ruhuan had been in Baiwu Mountain for half a month. During this half month, time seemed to flow quietly in the quiet mountains and forests.

Xiao Jingxuan's carrier pigeons still arrived every day without fail. The words filled with longing and concern seemed to turn into a warm spring breeze, gently blowing through Qin Ruhuan's heart.

Qianxun also wrote letters every day to report the affairs of the pavilion. Those letters carried the disturbances in the pavilion, allowing Qin Ruhuan to know what was happening in the outside world even though she was in the mountains.

In the past half month, Qin Ruhuan's whip skills and internal strength have improved greatly.

When she swung the whip, the whip shadow was as majestic as a dragon emerging from the sea; when she practiced her internal energy, her internal force circulated in her body endlessly.

Even Master Mello praised her highly, his eyes full of admiration and surprise.

Even his dart and sword skills were not outdated, and he practiced hard every day!

The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone on her. She held a dart in her hand with a determined gaze and threw it out without missing. In the afterglow of the evening, she danced with a long sword with sharp moves and whistling sword wind.

Lu Yun came twice, and the two of them had a duel. He was no match for Qin Ruhuan! After each duel, Lu Yun always shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, marveling at Qin Ruhuan's progress.

Master Melo was very pleased to have such a talented disciple. In his spare time, he often told Qin Ruhuan about strange anecdotes and profound martial arts in the martial arts world.

One day, when Qin Ruhuan was practicing martial arts, she suddenly saw a man walking towards her from a distance.

He was wearing a navy blue gown and a white jade waist belt. He was eight feet tall, as tall as a pine tree, with an extraordinary handsome face, sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, and his eyes were deep and sharp, as if he could see through everything.

He walked over step by step, his feet creating a breeze and a light cloud of dust. Qin Ruhuan stopped what she was doing and stared at this familiar man, with a ripple in her heart. Why was he here?

"Ruhuan!" Xiao Jingxuan walked over quickly, his voice full of eagerness and joy.

Qin Ruhuan looked at him with a smile as bright as the warm spring sun, "How come Your Highness has time to come here?"

Xiao Jingxuan looked at her with deep and gentle eyes, as if there was endless affection hidden in his eyes. He said softly, "What do you think?"

"Master Mei, thank you for your hard work! Ruhuan has troubled you these days! I have brought you many high-quality medicinal herbs!" Xiao Jingxuan said, his tone full of respect and gratitude.

Master Mei smiled, and that smile was like a blooming autumn chrysanthemum. "Your Highness, you are too polite! Ruhuan is my disciple. What are you talking about? I'll go check out the herbs! You two can chat slowly!" After saying that, Master Mei walked towards the front yard with brisk steps.

Qin Ruhuan and the other person came to the pavilion to rest, and Xiao Jingxuan brought up the food box in his hand. The food box was exquisite and gorgeous, exuding a faint fragrance.

When I opened it, I saw that it was full of Qin Ruhuan's favorite dishes! Steamed pork with rice flour, beggar's chicken, bacon and lotus root slices, sweet and sour carp... every dish was delicious and mouth-watering.

Qin Ruhuan's eyes lit up immediately. She was really hungry after practicing for the whole morning, so she immediately started to eat heartily. She ate without any image, stuffing her mouth full, and her cheeks bulged like a little squirrel.

Xiao Jingxuan found it very funny to see her eating voraciously. He reached out to take the meat off her face, his eyes full of doting.

"Eat? Your Majesty! Don't look at me!" Qin Ruhuan looked up and said incoherently while still chewing food in her mouth.

"The emperor wants to set our wedding date on October 8th. What do you think?" Xiao Jingxuan said, staring at Qin Ruhuan with a hint of anticipation.

Qin Ruhuan stopped eating the chicken leg and asked, "Is it October 8th again?"

Oh my god! I won't die on that day again! Is this a coincidence or fate? Xiao Jingxuan, you are not my nemesis! Can I live past the age of 20? Woo woo... Qin Ruhuan thought to herself.

The chicken drumstick in my mouth suddenly lost its fragrance. I practiced martial arts so hard just to avoid this death! My Lord, you are my calamity!

Xiao Jingxuan listened to her complaints, his face turned pale and angry at the same time. Qin Ruhuan! I have become your nemesis. You are amazing!

But he still didn't dare to show it, for fear that Qin Ruhuan would know that he could eavesdrop on her thoughts.

"Ruhuan? You don't want to?" he asked, with a hint of nervousness in his voice.

Qin Ruhuan came back to her senses, and seeing Xiao Jingxuan's nervous look, her heart softened, and she said, "My Lord, I am willing, but this date... is a little surprising to me."

Xiao Jingxuan held her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. I will protect you this time and won't let you get hurt at all!"

"I, Xiao Jingxuan, will never let what happened in my previous life happen again! You must believe me, Ruhuan!" Xiao Jingxuan said eagerly, his eyes full of tenderness.

Qin Ruhuan nodded, picked up the chicken leg again, and said with a smile: "Then let's eat first. Only when we are full will we have the strength to deal with the future."

Xiao Jingxuan also smiled and enjoyed this rare warm time with Qin Ruhuan.

This rich and satisfying lunch was not over until Qin Ruhuan ate so much that she started burping and her stomach was bloated. She felt very satisfied.

"Let's go for a walk in the bamboo forest!" Xiao Jingxuan looked at Qin Ruhua tenderly and said with a faint smile on his lips.

He thought to himself that in this chaotic situation, only the time spent with her could give him a moment of peace.

The breeze in the bamboo forest gently blows the bamboo leaves, making a rustling sound, as if playing a natural melody.

The two walked side by side in the green bamboo sea. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the bamboo leaves, casting mottled shadows on them.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince is dead. Several princes in the court will definitely fight for the position of Crown Prince with all their strength. What will the Third Prince do? We must not let him become the Crown Prince!" Qin Ruhuan frowned, looking solemn and serious.

She was secretly worried, knowing that the Third Prince was cruel and ruthless. If he succeeded, there would be a bloody storm.

"The Third Prince has been giving gifts to ministers recently to win their hearts, including your father and your uncle! But it seems that they have rejected it!" Xiao Jingxuan turned his head to look at Qin Ruhuan, and said with admiration in his eyes. He secretly felt lucky that Qin Ruhuan's family could stand firm.

"My father and uncle? Then I have to warn them to be careful of the Third Prince's revenge! If they can't be used by him, he will definitely harm them!"

Qin Ruhuan's beautiful face was full of worry, and her heart was even more uneasy, fearing that her relatives would encounter an accident because of rejecting the third prince.

Xiao Jingxuan gently held Qin Ruhuan's hand, comforted her a little, and said: "Don't worry too much, I will send people to protect them secretly. But the situation is getting more complicated, we need to be more cautious."

He silently swore in his heart that he must protect her and her family.

Qin Ruhuan nodded slightly, and said firmly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will always pay attention to the movements in the mansion. If there is any disturbance, I will inform Your Majesty in time."

She thought to herself that she would get through this difficult time with the prince no matter what.

The two continued to stroll in the bamboo forest, with the breeze blowing. Their figures looked particularly harmonious in this tranquil scene. However, they both knew in their hearts that the road ahead was full of unknowns and challenges.
