Double Life: The Sickly Prince Eavesdrops on My Heart

When the first rays of morning light came in, Qin Ruhuan had finished her morning exercises and was washing up.

The soft light filtered through the carved window lattices, gently falling on her pretty face, casting a hazy halo.

Chunhua hurried in from outside, "Miss, breakfast is ready!" Her voice was crisp and loud, breaking the silence in the room.

Qin Ruhuan came to the wooden table under the tree outside and saw Fei Ye standing quietly under the tree.

The steamed dumplings on the table were steaming hot, the steamed eggs were tender and smooth, the side dishes were brightly colored, and the black rice porridge exuded a rich aroma. Everything was prepared perfectly.

"Fei Ye, the prince sent you here again?" Qin Ruhuan raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled like a flower.

"Yes! Miss!" A trace of restraint flashed across Fei Ye's face. He scratched his head embarrassedly, worried that they would think he was here to get a free meal again.

"Let's sit down and eat together!" Qin Ruhuan said with a smile, her eyes full of sincerity.

After all, Fei Ye is Prince Jing's favorite guard, and he works hard for the prince on weekdays.

"No, no need... Chunhua and I will just eat together!" Fei Ye's face turned red and he stuttered as he spoke.

He glanced at Chunhua from time to time, thinking to himself that as long as he could eat the dumplings made by Chunhua, life would be wonderful! Of course, he didn't dare to disturb Qin Ruhuan while she was eating!

"Then go and eat! After dinner we'll go to Zuiyue Tower to look for Qianxun!" Qin Ruhuan took a bite of half a steamed bun and chewed it with satisfaction.

Fei Ye and Chun Hua hurriedly retreated and went to a small table nearby to enjoy breakfast.

After breakfast, Qin Ruhuan carefully selected a light blue silk dress and matched it with an exquisite jade hairpin, which made her temperament even more outstanding.

She took Chunhua and Feiye, got on the carriage and drove towards Zuiyue Tower.

Soon, the carriage stopped in front of Zuiyue Tower.

Qin Ruhuan got off the carriage and looked up. Zuiyue Tower stood beside a busy street. Above the door hung a plaque with black background and gold characters. The three characters "Zuiyue Tower" were written in vigorous and powerful strokes.

As you walk in, you will see famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, adding a touch of elegance.

There are dozens of carved tables and chairs in the hall, and exquisite tea sets are placed on each table.

Going up the stairs, there are independent private rooms on the second floor. There are exquisite bead curtains hanging at the door of the private room. When the breeze blows, the bead curtains collide with each other, making a crisp sound.

The private room is decorated extremely luxuriously, with valuable furniture and exquisite screens, all of which demonstrate the dignity and uniqueness of Zuiyue Tower.

Qin Ruhuan quickened her pace while admiring the environment of Zuiyue Tower. Not long after, she heard a melodious sound of a piano.

"It must be Chihiro playing." Chunhua said with certainty.

On Chunhua's round face, there was a pair of bright eyes full of curiosity and expectation.

Qin Ruhuan smiled slightly and unconsciously quickened her pace.

She was wearing a light blue dress, the sleeves of which fluttered gently in the breeze, making her look like a fairy descending to earth.

The sound of the piano suddenly stopped, and then a man's gentle voice was heard, "Sister Ruhuan! You're here!"

This voice was like the warm sunshine in spring, warm and kind. The person who spoke was none other than Gu Junheng!

He had a tall stature, a handsome face, and a heroic look between his brows.

"Gu Junheng, I didn't expect you can play the piano. You are really multi-talented. Whoever marries you will be lucky. No, no, who will marry you..." Qin Ruhuan joked.

There was a playful light in her beautiful eyes, and the corners of her mouth raised, revealing a bright smile.

"I thought it was Qianxun who shot it!" Chunhua said angrily. She crossed her arms in front of her chest, pouted slightly, and had a hint of disappointment on her face.

"I don't have Brother Gu's many talents. I can only hold a knife with my hands! Chunhua!" Chihiro strode over and said.

He is tall and strong, with bright eyes, giving people a sense of stability and reliability.

Several people came to Qin Ruhuan's private room, only to find that the room was decorated elegantly and exquisitely, and the air was filled with a faint floral scent.

Chihiro quickly ordered people to bring tea and snacks. Plates of exquisite snacks and fresh fruits were placed on the table, making people salivate.

"How has Xiaoru recovered recently?" Qin Ruhuan looked at Gu Junheng and asked. Her eyes were full of concern and her eyebrows were slightly furrowed.

"I just went there yesterday. I have recovered well and my spirits are also very good!" said Gu Junheng, with a gratified smile on his face.

"That's good, otherwise I would still be thinking about her in the mountain!" Qin Ruhuan smiled like a flower, and her beautiful face was as delicate and charming as a blooming flower.

"Qianxun, you must send someone to keep an eye on the third prince recently. He has started to take action!" Qin Ruhuan's face instantly became solemn, and a hint of worry revealed in her eyes.

"Last night, a group of people came to the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion to cause trouble. I suspect he was the one who did it! He might want to take revenge on my father and uncle! We must be on guard!" Qin Ruhuan said solemnly. She clenched her fists, her heart filled with worry for her family.

In the previous life, he was the one who killed so many people in the Xiangfu and Huofu families! Although the crown prince is dead, the third prince should not be underestimated!

Gu Junheng pondered for a moment and said, "Ruhuan, don't worry too much. Now that we know his movements in advance, we can definitely come up with a way to deal with it."

Qin Ruhuan nodded slightly and said with a firm look, "This time, his conspiracy must not succeed. I will not let my family fall into danger again."

Qianxun bowed and said, "Don't worry, young lady. I have already given orders to strengthen the defenses around the Prime Minister's Mansion to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

Chunhua echoed, "Miss, we will all do our best to protect the Xiangfu."

Qin Ruhuan looked at everyone with gratitude and said, "With you here, I believe we will be able to get through this difficult time."

The few of them discussed in detail the specific strategies to deal with the third prince, and did not disperse until night fell.

However, the third prince was also making intensive plans.

He sat in the study, his face so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it, and his pair of sinister eyes flashed with a cruel light.

He said angrily to his men: "This time, I will make sure that the Xiang Mansion and the Huo Mansion will never be able to recover!" There was a hint of anger in his deep voice!

“Uncle Cai! Tell them to get ready. Since the Left Prime Minister and General Huo are ungrateful, we will get rid of them one by one! The first one will be the Prime Minister’s Mansion,” the Third Prince slammed the table so hard that the teacups on the table shook a few times.

Cai Guozhong nodded and said, "Your Highness, please don't worry! I will arrange it right away! I guarantee it will be foolproof!"

His flattering face was filled with a fawning smile, and then he turned around, and his hurried figure quickly disappeared into the night.
