Double Life: The Sickly Prince Eavesdrops on My Heart

"If we fail this time, we will set up an ambush on his way back to the capital. Once he dies, the throne will be mine." There was cruelty in the eyes of the third prince.

Qin Ruhuan was shocked. She didn't expect that the third prince could be so cruel.

Just as she was about to leave quietly, she accidentally touched a tile, making a slight sound.

"Who is it?" The people in the house became alert.

Qin Ruhuan no longer hesitated and flew away.

After everyone discovered this, they chased after him closely.

Seeing the pursuers approaching, Qin Ruhuan was not in a hurry. She took out the Star Dart from her arms, shook her wrist, and the Star Dart shot out and hit the third prince's thigh.

The third prince screamed and fell to the ground.

The others were furious upon seeing this and quickened their pace in pursuit.

The third prince screamed and fell to the ground. He covered his thigh and blood gushed out from between his fingers, staining his luxurious robes red.

The wound was so deep that the bones were almost visible. The pain came like a tide, making his face turn as pale as paper in an instant. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead and his lips trembled due to the severe pain.

"Hurry! Don't let her run away!" The third prince shouted at the top of his lungs, enduring the severe pain.

However, his voice sounded weak at this moment, and painful wails occasionally squeezed out from between his clenched teeth.

Seeing that the third prince was injured, the subordinates around him became even more anxious and chased in the direction where Qin Ruhuan fled with murderous intent.

Qin Ruhuan relied on her agility and familiarity with the terrain to navigate the intricate streets and alleys.

Although the pursuers behind her were hot on her heels, she was as ghostly as a ghost and skillfully used various obstacles to dodge their attacks.

At a corner, she suddenly leaped onto the roof of a dilapidated house, then quickly lay down and hid in the shadows.

The pursuers hurried past without finding any trace of her.

After the pursuers went away, Qin Ruhuan quietly got up and continued to flee under the cover of night.

Finally, she managed to escape from the pursuers and disappeared into the dark night.

After Qin Ruhuan successfully escaped from the pursuers, she hid in a remote corner, her heart beating like a drum and her breathing rapid and disordered.

She leaned against the cold wall, feeling the chill on her back, trying to calm her pounding heart.

At this moment, she felt a mixture of relief and fear. Fortunately, she managed to escape from the dangerous pursuit with her quick reaction and superb martial arts.

What he was afraid of was that if he was not careful and was caught by the Third Prince's men, the consequences would be disastrous. Not only would his life be in danger, but Xiao Jingxuan might also fall into an even more dangerous situation.

Thinking of this, she took a deep breath and tried to calm the waves in her heart.

Her eyes gradually became firm. She knew very well that now that she knew the Third Prince's conspiracy, she must inform Xiao Jingxuan as soon as possible and prepare a response plan. She must not let that vicious man succeed.

Qin Ruhuan returned to the palace and jumped into the house, but accidentally touched a vase.

Just as she was about to go back to her room, Fei Ye had already flown over, drew out his long sword and stabbed at her. Qin Ruhuan dodged to the side and shouted, "Fei Ye, it's me!"

When Fei Ye heard the voice, he suddenly withdrew his sword, stopping just a few inches away from Qin Ruhuan. He asked in surprise, "Princess? What are you doing?"

Qin Ruhuan patted her chest lightly, took a breath and said, "Don't make it public, I have something important to tell you."

Fei Ye put away his sword, looking nervous: "Princess, what happened?"

Qin Ruhuan lowered her voice and said, "I went to the Third Prince's mansion at night and found that they were plotting to ambush the prince on his way back to the capital, intending to harm him."

"Not only that, the Third Prince also attempted to bribe the deputy general in the army, and even planned to kidnap his parents and wife to force the deputy general to submit."

Fei Ye frowned, his eyes showing worry and anger: "How dare these villains do this! Princess, what should we do next?"

Qin Ruhuan pondered for a moment and said, "We need to think long and hard about this matter. Don't alert the enemy first. Feiye, send a pigeon to tell the prince about this and let him take precautions early."

Fei Ye nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Princess, I will definitely fulfill my mission."

Qin Ruhuan nodded slightly, looking tired: "Okay, I'm tired too, let me go back to my room and rest first." After that, she turned and walked towards the room.

The next day.

After breakfast, Qin Ruhuan brought Fei Ye, Chun Hua and others to Qianxun Pavilion to inquire about the news.

We went to the room on the second floor and sat down. The boy quickly and attentively brought us the best tea. After all, the boss had just given everyone a reward!

"Fei Ye, Chun Hua, please sit together! We are all family here!" Qin Ruhuan said while pouring tea.

Several people sat down as instructed, and Chunhua spoke first: "Miss, I wonder if you can find any useful information when you come to Qianxun Pavilion this time."

Qin Ruhuan took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Let's wait and see. Qianxun Pavilion has always been well-informed. I don't think we will return empty-handed."

Qianxun hurried in from outside, beads of sweat oozing from her forehead, and she looked a little anxious. She lowered her voice and said, "Miss, there are some problems with your visit to the Third Prince's mansion yesterday."

Qin Ruhuan raised her eyebrows slightly, with a hint of nervousness in her eyes, and asked, "What do you mean?"

Qianxun took a deep breath and calmed herself down before saying, "The Third Prince only had a leg injury, his life is safe. But he has not seen your true face."

"But the guards in the mansion described the assassin's figure as graceful, very much like a woman, and agile, somewhat similar to you. This has attracted their attention, and they are now tracking him down throughout the city."

After hearing this, Qin Ruhuan stroked her chest gently, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "That's good. As long as he hasn't seen my face, there's still room for maneuver. But the news of the investigation is too intense, so we need to be more careful and cautious." After saying this, she unconsciously tightened the handkerchief in her hand.

Qianxun continued, "Miss, this matter has alarmed the royal family. The emperor is extremely angry about this. He has ordered that the assassin must be found."

"Now the streets and alleys in the city are full of spies, and the atmosphere is very tense. If we are not careful, we may end up in an irretrievable situation." He said while rubbing his hands nervously.

Qin Ruhuan nodded gently, frowning, and asked, "Then is there any news about the people I sent out to pick up my uncle?"

Qianxun looked embarrassed and whispered, "Miss, I haven't received any definite news yet. But don't worry, I have sent more people to investigate. If there is any movement, I will report it to you immediately."

Qin Ruhuan's eyes were firm and her tone was resolute: "Qianxun, you must find your uncle's whereabouts as soon as possible and make sure he is safe and sound."

Qianxun nodded solemnly: "Miss, I understand, I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

Qin Ruhuan's eyes were firm. She bit her lip and said in a deep voice, "Qianxun, continue to pay attention to the movements in the Third Prince's Mansion. We can't let this matter affect our plan. Also, we can't relax our investigation on uncle's side. We can't let go of even the slightest clue."
