Double Life: The Sickly Prince Eavesdrops on My Heart

Dali Temple Minister Lu Haifeng also stepped forward and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I think this matter is of great importance. The Third Prince searched the residence of an important official of the court without permission. This is against the law and unreasonable. If we do not deal with him severely, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public."

When the Third Prince heard this, he hurriedly explained, "Father, I received a secret report saying that there was evidence of treason in the Left Prime Minister's residence, so I led people to search. I am only doing this for the country, and I have absolutely no selfish motives!"

The left prime minister glared at him and said, "Don't slander me, Third Prince. I am a loyal minister. How can you say I am collaborating with the enemy and betraying my country? This is clearly slander!"

King Jing sneered: "Third Prince, you acted so rashly based on a secret report from an unknown source. Don't you have ulterior motives?"

General Huo immediately said, "Third Prince, if there is evidence, you should report it to His Majesty first and let His Majesty make the decision. How can you act on your own?"

The third prince's face turned red and he was speechless for a moment.

At this time, the emperor frowned, like two inky black mountains frowned together, and glanced at everyone majestically, and that look seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts.

He shouted angrily: "Xiao Qian! You are so bold and presumptuous, and your actions are extremely absurd! Do you know that you are wrong?" The emperor's voice echoed in the empty hall like a thunderclap.

When the Third Prince saw Emperor Wen’s rage, he was so frightened that his face turned pale, his legs went weak and he knelt down!

Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. "Father! I know I was wrong! I will never be so reckless again! Please forgive me this time!"

The third prince's voice was trembling, filled with endless fear and pleading, and there was even a hint of crying in his voice.

"Left Prime Minister! What the Third Prince did this time was really outrageous! I will not tolerate it and will definitely give you justice!" Emperor Wen turned to the Left Prime Minister, his voice softened, his eyes full of soothing intent.

"Someone come! Take the third prince Xiao Qian away and give him twenty lashes of the cane! And confine him to solitary confinement for a month!" Emperor Wen was furious, his voice full of unquestionable majesty.

"Father! Father! Please forgive me this time! Father!"

The Third Prince was dragged away by several strong guards while crying! He waved his hands constantly, trying to grasp the last glimmer of hope.

Soon, his shrill cries were heard outside the palace! "Ah...!" The sound was heartbreaking and horrifying.

Everyone in the hall was silent, no one dared to plead for him. Even the Right Prime Minister and others who had always stood on the side of the Third Prince kept their lips tightly shut and bowed their heads in silence, fearing that the Emperor's anger would implicate themselves.

Emperor Wen sat on the dragon throne, his chest heaving violently, obviously still angry about what the third prince had done.

After a long while, he gradually calmed down, and looked at the princes and the others again, and said in a deep voice: "I hope you will take this as a warning and not do such unbecoming and absurd things again! Otherwise, I will never forgive you easily!"

Everyone responded in unison: "We will obey your majesty's order!"

This crisis of frame-up was finally overcome in this life.

The third prince was carried back to the palace, and the butler Cai Guozhong hurried out to greet him with an anxious look on his face!

"Your Highness! Your Highness! How are you?" Cai Guozhong's voice was trembling and his face was full of heartache.

The third prince had already passed out from the pain, his face was as pale as paper and lifeless.

Seeing this, Manager Cai became extremely anxious and shouted, "Call the imperial physician quickly!" His voice was filled with panic.

A group of people hurriedly carried the third prince back to the bedroom, and the imperial physician also hurried over.

He carefully cut open the Third Prince's pants, carefully cleaned his wound, and then carefully applied medicine, his expression focused and solemn.

Then he prescribed some medicine and carefully instructed people to prepare it, not daring to be careless in any step.

When Qin Yue and Hu Qingyao heard that the third prince was beaten by the emperor, they hurried over.

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness!"

The two walked into the house quickly. Qin Yue saw that the Third Prince was fainted and burst into tears. She sobbed and wiped her tears, and kept muttering: "How could His Highness suffer such a disaster!"

Hu Qingyao frowned slightly and said impatiently: "Cry, cry, just cry, crying is useless!" Then she looked at the imperial physician and asked anxiously: "How is the prince?"

The imperial physician wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "My dear, although your Highness's injuries are serious, as long as you take good care of yourself, you should be fine. But you need to be extra careful in the next few days and don't let the wound get infected."

Hu Qingyao nodded slightly and said solemnly, "Then I'll have to trouble the imperial physician."

When Qin Yue heard this, she stopped crying for a while, but her eyes were still full of worry.

The bedroom was filled with an atmosphere of tension and worry, and everyone was praying silently that the Third Prince would wake up soon and recover.

After an hour, the third prince woke up slowly, feeling severe pain all over his body, but the anger in his heart was even worse than the pain. As soon as he opened his eyes, he was furious at the housekeeper Cai Guozhong.

"Cai Guozhong! You old thing, you are so incompetent! Everything that this prince had arranged well was messed up by you! What's wrong with Qin Rushi and Qin Ruqi? They are so unreliable! This prince has ended up like this, and it's all because of you bunch of trash!" The third prince roared at the top of his lungs, his eyes full of resentment.

Cai Guozhong knelt down hurriedly and said tremblingly: "Your Highness, please calm down. I never expected this result. The two sisters seemed quite smart on weekdays, but who would have thought that they would fail at the critical moment."

The Third Prince gritted his teeth and said bitterly, "Humph! Clever? I think they are deliberately ruining my plans! When I recover, I will definitely deal with them! And you, Cai Guozhong, if you fail to do your job well again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Cai Guozhong kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Highness, rest assured, this old servant will atone for his sins, make new plans, and help Your Highness achieve your wish."

Zuo Xiangfu.

After going through this crisis, Qin Ruhuan finally felt relieved.

She found her father and told him in detail how Qin Rushi and Qin Ruqi had planted evidence to frame the Prime Minister's Mansion, and took out the letter and jade pendant as evidence.

The left prime minister was very angry and immediately asked someone to call the sisters Qin Rushi and Qin Ruqi.

The two sisters came to the hall and saw the gloomy face of Zuo Xiang and the letter and jade pendant in Qin Ruhuan's hand. They understood a little bit.

The left prime minister glared at them and scolded them, "You two rebellious girls! How dare you do such a rebellious thing and harm your own family!"

Qin Rushi bit her lip and tried to defend herself: "Father, we were also used by others. We never thought of really harming the Xiangfu!"

Qin Ruqi also quickly echoed: "Yes, father, we know we were wrong, and we will never dare to do it again!"
