Double Life: The Sickly Prince Eavesdrops on My Heart

Day two.

As the sun rises, the golden sunlight shines on the gate of the capital, giving the ancient city walls a layer of warm yellow glow.

The breeze blew gently, bringing a slight coolness, but it could not blow away the solemn atmosphere at the city gate.

Emperor Wen came personally to see him off. He was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and had a solemn look on his face. He stood there with the ministers, his eyes full of expectations and instructions.

Qin Ruhuan was wearing a simple dress with only a jade hairpin in her hair. Her face looked a little haggard, but her eyes were firmly looking at Xiao Jingxuan who was about to go to the battle.

At this time, there were occasional birds flying across the sky, chirping a few times, which made the moment of separation even more desolate.

Xiao Jingxuan was wearing silver armor, which gleamed coldly under the sunlight.

The red tassel on his helmet fluttered in the wind, adding a touch of heroic spirit to him.

His figure was as straight as a pine tree, like an unshakable mountain.

The exquisite armor fits his body, outlining his sturdy outline, and each piece of armor exudes a strong breath. The sword at his waist, the hilt is inlaid with gems, shining brightly.

He looked at Qin Ruhuan, his eyes full of affection and reluctance. He had a lot of thoughts in his mind: "Huan'er, I don't know when I will return. I must fight bravely and return to reunite with you as soon as possible. The border is in flames and the people are suffering. I have a heavy responsibility and I must not let down the expectations of His Majesty and everyone else."

"Huan'er, wait for me to come back." Xiao Jingxuan's voice was low and powerful, and the sound of the wind around them seemed to stop at this moment, just to listen to his words.

Qin Ruhuan held back her tears and tried hard to force a smile, "Your Highness, you must return safely. I will pray for you every day." The dust under their feet was blown up by the breeze and spread between the two of them.

Xiao Jingxuan reached out his hand and gently stroked her face, "Don't worry, for you, I will definitely return victorious."

In the woods in the distance, the leaves rustled, as if they were sighing for their separation.

The soldiers were lined up in neat rows, all in high spirits. They were dressed in uniform, holding long spears, and their flags fluttered in the wind.

Xiao Jingxuan took a last deep look at Qin Ruhuan, turned around, jumped on his horse, and swore secretly in his heart: When I go to the battlefield, I will lead the troops, defend my country, and live up to the trust.

He shouted loudly: "Let's go!"

The sound of horse hooves rose up a cloud of dust, and the team moved farther and farther away. Qin Ruhuan looked at the receding figure, unwilling to leave for a long time.

Qin Ruhuan sat with her parents in a warm hall. Her mother held her hand and stroked it gently, her eyes full of love and caress.

"Huan'er, Jingxuan will definitely return safely this time, so don't worry too much." The mother comforted her softly with a gentle smile on her face.

The father sat aside and nodded slightly, "Yes, daughter. Jingxuan is a brave man and will surely return victorious." His voice was steady and powerful, giving people a sense of security.

Qin Ruhuan listened to her parents' words, and the haze in her heart dissipated a little. She leaned on her mother's shoulder and acted like a child, "Mom, I know, but the pain of separation is really hard to bear."

The mother patted her back gently and said, "Silly child, there are always such moments between husband and wife. As long as the hearts are together, there is no fear of separation."

The father picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and said slowly: "Huan'er, you are a wife now, you must learn to be strong. Jingxuan is fighting on the front line, you must take care of yourself in the rear and don't let him be distracted."

Qin Ruhuan raised her head, looked at her father, and nodded solemnly, "Daughter understands."

At this time, the mother called the maid and brought Qin Ruhuan's favorite snack when she was a child. "Huan'er, try this snack. It still tastes familiar to you."

Qin Ruhuan picked up a piece of dessert and put it in her mouth. The familiar sweet taste instantly spread, making her feel as if she had returned to her carefree childhood.

The family of three chatted with each other, and the hall was filled with warmth and love.

The sunlight shines through the window lattice onto them, creating a warm and beautiful picture.

After lunch, Qin Ruhuan brought Chunhua Qiuyue to Zuiyue Tower.

As soon as she stepped into the exclusive room on the second floor, Qianxun came up to her with a look of joy on her face, "Miss, you are finally here."

Qin Ruhuan smiled slightly and sat down on the chair. "Qianxun, is there anything new in the pavilion recently?"

Qianxun hurriedly ordered someone to prepare the best tea, and then said with a slightly serious look: "Miss, a big thing happened in Qingzhou Fengduo a few days ago. An elder in the pavilion actually embezzled a large amount of silver, which caused quite a stir in Fengduo. I have sent people to investigate thoroughly and must find out the trick behind him."

Qin Ruhuan frowned, her eyes were cold, "Humph, you dare to commit such corruption under my nose, you must not be forgiven. You must get to the bottom of it and deal with it as you should."

Qianxun nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, Miss. I will definitely get it done."

"Miss, several shops in Kyoto have been doing good business recently, but there are also some minor problems."

Qin Ruhuan took a sip of tea, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Oh? What's the trouble? Tell me about it."

Qianxun came closer and whispered, "Some rival shops seem to be secretly trying to trip us up and lower their prices to steal our customers."

Qin Ruhuan frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Send someone to find out their background and see if there is any force behind them. We can't just sit there and wait for death, we have to think of some way to deal with it."

Qianxun nodded and said, "Don't worry, Miss. I have asked someone to check. Also, our new jewelry is very popular and is almost in short supply."

Qin Ruhuan showed a satisfied look on her face. "This is a good thing. Tell the craftsmen to speed up the production. We can't let the customers down because of the shortage of goods."

"Yes, Miss. By the way, there is one more thing..." Chihiro then reported some other matters in detail.

After a pause, he continued, "Miss, there is one more thing. In the past three months, Qianxun Pavilion and Kyoto Shop have made considerable profits."

As she spoke, Qianxun took out a few account books from her bosom and handed them to Qin Ruhuan respectfully.

Qin Ruhuan took the account book and flipped through it carefully. She saw that the numbers on it were densely packed, but clearly organized. The more she read, the more frightened she became, and a look of surprise gradually appeared on her face.

"Miss, our total profit in these three months is as much as eight million taels." Chihiro's voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement.

Qin Ruhuan put down the account book, her eyes full of praise, "Yes, everyone has worked hard. Among them, the jewelry shop and the silk shop have the most outstanding profits. It seems that our new products are very popular."

"Take out 100,000 taels of silver to give bonuses to our guys! Everyone has worked hard these days!" Qin Ruhuan felt much better.
