Double Life: The Sickly Prince Eavesdrops on My Heart

She couldn't wait to pick up the bow and arrow from the weapon rack, draw the bow, and aim at the target in the distance.

I saw her holding her breath, her eyes firm and focused, her arms pulling the bowstring steadily, her posture graceful and powerful.

With a "whoosh", the arrow shot out like a meteor, flying straight towards the center of the bull's eye and piercing it accurately.

Qin Ruhuan's face bloomed with a proud and brilliant smile. She turned to look at Xiao Jingxuan and said excitedly: "Your Highness, look, my skills are not rusty at all!"

Xiao Jingxuan's eyes were full of admiration, and he responded with a smile: "Ruhuan, your archery skills are really superb and amazing."

Qin Ruhuan put down the bow and arrow, and her eyes were attracted by the darts beside her.

She walked over, picked up a few darts, raised her arm lightly, and the darts flew out of her hand instantly, drawing sharp arcs in the air and hitting the target one after another.

Her movements were smooth and seamless.

Then she saw the long whip on the weapon rack and grabbed it without hesitation.

She was agile and her wrist was shaking slightly, and the whip was like a flexible fire dragon flying in the air, whistling in the wind. Wherever the whip tip went, it raised a cloud of dust, with extraordinary momentum.

Xiao Jingxuan was fascinated as he watched from the side, his eyes showing both love and deep admiration for her.

When she stopped, Xiao Jingxuan hurried over to her, handed her a handkerchief, and said gently, "Ruhuan, you are so talented that I am really impressed by you."

Qin Ruhuan took the handkerchief, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said coquettishly: "This is nothing, there will be more surprises for you in the future!"

After returning to the house, Xiao Jingxuan immediately asked someone to carefully prepare a large bucket of steaming hot water.

Qin Ruhuan stepped into the tub with great joy and soaked in it comfortably. Her relaxed posture seemed as if all the troubles in the world had left her.

It was another night of ripples, and tenderness and sweetness filled the entire room.

The next morning, just as the eastern sky was turning pale, Xiao Jingxuan was already dressed.

He had a tall and straight figure, with the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix. Before leaving, he looked at Qin Ruhuan who was still sleeping, his eyes full of pampering and tenderness. He gently kissed her smooth forehead, then turned and left.

Qin Ruhuan slept until she woke up naturally. Before leaving, Xiao Jingxuan specifically instructed Chunhua, Qiuyue and others not to disturb her, so the four maids waited patiently outside.

Only when they heard the sound of her getting up did they cautiously come in to serve her.

"Chunhua, why didn't you call me? You slept so late!" Qin Ruhuan said lazily while yawning, with a hint of confusion in her voice.

"Princess, the prince told me when he left that you should not be disturbed and should sleep until you wake up naturally!" Chunhua responded with a smile.

"I'm so hungry! Is dinner ready?" Qin Ruhuan rubbed her eyes, looking sleepy.

"It's been prepared, just waiting for the princess to wake up!" Qiuyue walked in quickly holding a basin of water.

After Qin Ruhuan had breakfast, she remembered that today was the day her good friends Gu Junheng and Bai Xiaoru were leaving for Nanyue.

She hurriedly had two boxes of wedding gifts prepared, carefully dressed up, and hurriedly got on a carriage to Zuiyue Tower.

When she arrived at Zuiyue Tower, Gu Junheng and Bai Xiaoru were waiting anxiously downstairs.

"Sister Ruhuan, you're finally here!" Bai Xiaoru walked up quickly, holding Qin Ruhuan's hand, her eyes full of reluctance.

"I thought you had forgotten!" Bai Xiaoru's eyes were moist and she looked aggrieved.

"Xiao Ru, how could I forget such an important day! Nothing is more important than you!" Qin Ruhuan hugged her and patted her back gently.

"Xiao Ru, the journey is long and arduous, you must be careful." Qin Ruhuan's voice was a little choked, her eyes were slightly red, and tears were welling up in her eyes.

Gu Junheng stepped forward, bowed and said, "Sister Ruhuan, thank you for your gift. I am going to South Vietnam now, and I don't know when we will meet again."

Qin Ruhuan held back her tears and said, "Jun Heng, Xiao Ru, no matter how far apart we are, our friendship will never change."

"If you are wronged in South Vietnam in the future, you must write to me and tell me. I will support you even if it takes thousands of miles."

Bai Xiaoru leaned gently on Qin Ruhuan's shoulder and sobbed, "Ruhuan, I really can't bear to leave you. I don't know if I can adapt to the customs and practices of South Vietnam. Thinking that I won't be able to see you often in the future, my heart is as painful as a knife."

Qin Ruhuan hugged Bai Xiaoru tightly, her voice trembling: "Xiaoru, how could I bear to leave you. But I am really happy for you and Jun Heng to have such a happy marriage. It's just that after this separation, I don't know when we can be together and laugh together like before."

Gu Junheng also said: "Sister Ruhuan, you must take good care of yourself here. If we have the chance, we will definitely come back to visit you."

Qin Ruhuan nodded, took out a sachet from her bosom and handed it to Bai Xiaoru: "Xiaoru, this is the sachet I embroidered for you. Wearing it is like I am with you. Seeing the sachet is like seeing me. Take it out and look at it when you miss me."

Bai Xiaoru took the sachet and burst into tears: "Ruhuan, I understand your feelings, I will always carry it with me. I really hope that time can go back and we can still be together as carefree as before."

Qin Ruhuan looked at Gu Junheng again: "Junheng, Xiaoru is now entrusted to you. You must not let her suffer even a little bit."

Gu Junheng solemnly promised: "Don't worry, Ruhuan, I will make Xiaoru happy. I know that you two have a deep friendship, and I will bring Xiaoru back to see you in the future. This is also my second home!"

The few of them said many considerate words to each other until the time of departure had arrived, and then Gu Junheng and Bai Xiaoru had to get on the carriage.

Qin Ruhuan stood there, looking at the carriage going farther and farther away, tears finally burst out of her eyes. She stood there for a long time, unwilling to leave, her heart full of concern and reluctance for her friend.

It’s true, all good things must come to an end!

Qin Ruhuan returned to the palace in a daze and sat alone in front of the window in a daze.

Over the years, she rarely interacted with people, and only had Bai Xiaoru as her close girlfriend! But now she has married in another country! She must be very reluctant!

She looked at the scenery outside the window, but her thoughts drifted back to the little moments she spent with Bai Xiaoru.

The time when they had played and laughed together seemed to be still before their eyes, chasing butterflies in the spring garden, their laughter echoing among the flowers.

We also lay on the lawn on summer nights, looking at the starry sky and sharing each other's secrets.

Now, all of this has become precious memories as Bai Xiaoru has married far away.

Qin Ruhuan's eyes were filled with loneliness and sadness. She sighed softly and murmured to herself: "Xiao Ru, you must take good care of yourself in a foreign country."
