Double Life: The Sickly Prince Eavesdrops on My Heart

The princess fiercely shook off his hand, "Hu Qingyu, if you treat me like this, I will never let you go even if I die! Sooner or later, I will return all this to you!"

Hu Qingyu's face darkened, he stood up and said viciously: "Want to die? It's not that easy! I will make you want to live but not to, want to die but not to!"

Then he ordered his men: "Take her away and clean her up!"

The princess widened her eyes in horror, "What do you want to do? Hu Qingyu, you beast!"

Hu Qingyu raised an evil smile at the corner of his mouth, "What? You will know soon."

As she was being taken away, the princess kept struggling and cursing, but it was of no avail.

When the princess was cleaned, Hu Qingyu appeared again. He looked at the princess with malicious eyes.

The princess hugged herself tightly and watched him approach step by step in fear.

Hu Qingyu said with a lewd smile: "Stay with me! There will be a reward!"

The princess was filled with grief and anger, tears welling up in her eyes, "You will not have a good ending!"

After a night, Xiao Ya was exhausted. When she woke up, Hu Qingyu was sleeping next to her!

Xiao Ya found a dagger from Hu Qingyu's clothes and stabbed Hu Qingyu with all her strength.

Taking advantage of Hu Qingyu being injured and unconscious, she escaped again.

Xiao Ya encountered many twists and turns along the way.

She limped carefully to avoid the officers and soldiers who were searching for her, and her spirit was extremely tense.

Once when she was crossing a mountain, she slipped and the severe pain almost made her faint, but the desire to survive kept her going.

Dragging her injured leg, Xiao Ya moved forward with difficulty.

Just when she was about to despair, a merchant's carriage passed by. Xiao Ya used up her last bit of strength to ask the merchant for help, and the merchant was moved with sympathy and let her take the carriage.

Finally, the carriage arrived at Dasheng Kingdom.

When Xiao Ya limped towards the Princess's Mansion, people on the street saw her shabby appearance and cast mocking glances at her.

Xiao Ya limped into the Princess's Mansion, and the guard at the door immediately stopped her vigilantly.

A guard frowned and said with a look of disdain: "Where did this crazy woman come from? How dare she trespass into the Princess's Mansion!"

Xiao Ya said anxiously: "I am the princess, let me in!"

The other one looked her up and down and sneered, "You are such a mess and you still want to be a princess? Don't dream! I think you are just a liar pretending to be a princess!"

Xiao Ya widened her eyes and raised her voice, saying, "I am really Princess Xiao Ya, open your eyes and take a good look!"

The guard snorted disdainfully: "Our princess is a royal princess, not like you who is so miserable, dirty and lame. If you are a princess, I am still the emperor!"

At this time, several passers-by also gathered around.

Someone laughed and said, "Look at her. She doesn't even look in the mirror, yet she dares to call herself a princess. She really doesn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is!"

"That's right. He probably wants to get into the Princess's Mansion to get some benefits. He doesn't even know where this place is!"

Xiao Ya was so angry that she was shaking all over. She shouted, "When I was in the Princess's Mansion, you didn't even know where you were! How dare you treat me like this!"

The guard sneered: "Humph, stop talking nonsense here. If you don't leave, we won't be polite!"

Xiao Ya was filled with grief and indignation, tears welling up in her eyes. She shouted, "You blind people, wait until the housekeeper comes, and see if you still dare to be so arrogant!"

However, the guards and servants still scoffed at her words and continued to mock her.

At this time, a guard from the palace came over. He looked at Xiao Ya carefully, his eyes full of surprise, "Princess?"

Xiao Ya saw that this little guard was the one she had favored before! She was very surprised, "You finally recognized me!"

The young guard hurried forward and said with a concerned and anxious look on his face: "Princess, what happened to you? Why do you look like this?" His eyes were full of worry and heartache.

Tears welled up in Xiao Ya's eyes, and she said in a trembling voice: "It's a long story. I went through many hardships and finally returned to the mansion. During those days, I was always worried and fled everywhere, and suffered countless hardships."

The guards and servants around all looked surprised and suspicious when they heard this.

The guard muttered, "Could this be the princess? Maybe this kid has made a mistake." As he spoke, he looked Xiao Ya up and down with his eyes slanted.

The young guard glared at him and shouted, "You are a bunch of blind people. This is the princess! The princess has been so kind to me before, and I will never admit my mistake. The princess has always been kind to us, but you are here to add insult to injury. How despicable!"

The servant whispered: "Even if it's the princess, this miserable state is too..."

The young guard glared at him and shouted angrily, "Shut up! The princess is in trouble now, and you don't think about how to help her, but you are still here making sarcastic remarks. You have no conscience at all!"

Xiao Ya suppressed the grievance in her heart and said, "Forget it, don't bother with them. Help me in first, I need to rest well."

The young guard quickly responded, "Princess, I will help you in right away."

Just as they were about to go in, another man who looked like a butler hurried over. He was also stunned when he saw Xiao Ya, and then hesitantly said: "Is this... really the princess?"

The young guard said anxiously: "Butler Li, it is absolutely true, this is the princess!"

Steward Li said in disbelief, "The princess has been missing for many days, and now she's suddenly back. It's really unexpected. It's good that she's back! It's good that she's back!"

Xiao Ya snorted coldly: "I want to see if there is still room for me in this Princess Mansion!"

No one dared to say anything more, and the young guard carefully helped Xiao Ya walk into the mansion.

After the princess returned home, she couldn't wait to step into the steaming bathtub.

She soaked in the bathtub for a full hour. The warm water soothed her tired body and washed away the dust and fatigue from the escape.

She leaned quietly on the edge of the bathtub, closed her eyes, and let her thoughts drift.

Thinking back on the suffering I've endured these days, I can't help but feel a pang of sadness in my heart.

But at this moment, she was enjoying this moment of tranquility and relaxation, letting the warm water soothe her wounded heart bit by bit.

The princess slowly got up from the bathtub only when her whole body was filled with fragrance and her skin had regained its former whiteness and tenderness.

The maid beside her had already prepared her gorgeous clothes, which were made of the finest silk and embroidered with exquisite patterns.

The princess gently put on her gorgeous clothes. The touch of silk against her skin seemed to speak of her former nobility and glory.

The maids carefully dressed up the princess. They gently combed her long hair, pulled it up high and fixed it with a hairpin.

The hairpin was inlaid with sparkling gems, which sparkled brightly under the candlelight.
