Double Life: The Sickly Prince Eavesdrops on My Heart

In the court, the ministers of the Third Prince's party were all filled with righteous indignation and spoke harshly.

"Your Majesty, Princess Qin Ruhuan of Prince Jing must be the murderer who assassinated the Third Prince. The evidence is irrefutable and there is no doubt about it!" The Right Prime Minister said with a bow, his face full of certainty.

The Minister of Revenue immediately echoed, "Your Majesty, the Jing Palace has always been arrogant and domineering. This assassination must have been planned for a long time. The whereabouts of the Jing Princess are mysterious. She must be the mastermind behind it!"

Dali Temple Minister Lu Haifeng stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, please be aware that Princess Jing is just a woman. She is not a martial arts expert. How could she be an assassin? This is pure nonsense!"

The left prime minister followed and said, "Your Majesty, my daughter is just a weak woman. How could she have climbed over the wall into the Third Prince's residence and escaped unscathed? It's absolutely impossible!"

"Your Majesty, Prince Jing's Mansion has evil ambitions and attempts to subvert the government. They must be severely punished and the law of the country must be upheld!" Another minister shouted loudly, and his voice echoed in the court.

The Third Prince stood up at this time, with a look of grief and indignation on his face. He cupped his hands and said, "Father, I almost lost my life. The Jing Palace is really daring. I hope Father will help me!"

Meanwhile, Chihiro finally found the traitor's wife in the countryside after many hardships. The woman was terrified, and Chihiro persuaded her with kind words, and she took out a letter left by the traitor.

The traitor in the letter explained the whole story in detail. It turned out that people from the Third Prince's Mansion threatened the lives of his family members and forced him to frame Prince Jing's Mansion.

Qin Ruhuan now came to the court with his traitorous wife and this crucial letter, with his head held high.

She looked determined and said neither servilely nor arrogantly, "Your Majesty, I have brought evidence that proves the innocence of Prince Jing's Mansion. This is the letter left by the traitor's wife and him. It clearly states that everything is a conspiracy of the Third Prince's Mansion!"

Qin Ruhuan presented the letter to the emperor, who read it carefully and became furious.

"How dare you! How dare you frame Prince Jing's Mansion!" The emperor angrily slammed the dragon chair, "There is a hidden story behind this matter, and the murderer is someone else! If anyone makes groundless suspicions and damages the reputation of Prince Jing's Mansion in the future, I will not let them off easily!"

The Third Prince's face suddenly changed when he saw this, and he said hurriedly, "Father, this may be evidence forged by Prince Jing's Mansion. This son was indeed assassinated and injured. This is absolutely true!"

The emperor glared at him and said, "Shut up! The evidence is here, you won't be allowed to quibble!"

Everyone in the court was silent, and Qin Ruhuan finally cleared the Jingwang Mansion of the injustice.

The third prince was dumbfounded. The evidence was originally solid, but now it turned out to be a frame-up by him. What was going on?

The emperor glared at the third prince and said sternly, "As a prince, you actually framed Prince Jing's mansion for your own selfish reasons. I am extremely disappointed!"

The Third Prince turned pale, knelt hurriedly, and said in a trembling voice: "Father, I know I was wrong. I was confused for a moment and was deceived by the traitor."

Emperor Wen snorted coldly, "Confused? Your foolish behavior almost caused a big mistake! From today on, I will punish you to stay in the palace for three months and not participate in government affairs. Reflect on your mistakes!"

The Third Prince kowtowed and thanked him: "I thank you for your punishment, Father. I will reflect deeply on this."

Emperor Wen continued, "Also, all the counselors in your palace and those involved in this matter will be severely punished! I will never allow such conspiracies to run rampant in the court."

"Yes, father." The third prince nodded hesitantly, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

Emperor Wen looked at the people in the court with a dignified look and said solemnly: "This matter ends here. If there is a similar false accusation of loyal and good people again, I will never tolerate it!"

All the ministers knelt down and said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Emperor Wen waved his hand, signaling the end of the court session, and turned to leave, leaving the Third Prince slumped on the ground with a look of regret on his face.

After the court session, the Third Prince returned to his residence in a state of despair. He slumped in his chair, his eyes filled with regret and reluctance.

"This time I lost more than I gained. I didn't expect Qin Ruhuan to be able to find evidence!" The third prince slammed the table hard.

His adviser said cautiously, "Your Highness, now that things have come to this, you should obey the Emperor's order, reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors, and look for another opportunity in the future."

The Third Prince glared at him: "It's all because of you bunch of rubbish that you came up with such bad ideas that this prince is in such a mess!"

The counselors did not dare to say a word and lowered their heads.

In Prince Jing's mansion, Qin Ruhuan and others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"This time, thanks to the young lady's wit, we were able to resolve the crisis." Chihiro said with a smile.

Qin Ruhuan sighed slightly: "After this incident, I have completely forged an enemy with the Third Prince. I need to be more careful in the future."

"Qianxun, has the person we sent to pick up my uncle made any progress?" Qin Ruhuan frowned, her beautiful eyes full of anxiety. For some reason, she couldn't let go of the worry and concern in her heart.

"Miss, they have already found out the location of General Huo and others. However, General Huo and others are now surrounded by enemies. The manpower we sent out is really limited, and we are simply unable to rescue General Huo and others." Qianxun looked solemn, with a face full of worry and deep helplessness.

"My uncle and the others are surrounded? Isn't that extremely dangerous?" Qin Ruhuan trembled when she heard this. She suddenly stood up from the chair, and her face turned pale in an instant.

"Don't worry, miss. They are still safe for now, and it will be difficult for the enemy to capture Yunxiao City in a short time." Qianxun hurriedly spoke to comfort her, trying to soothe Qin Ruhuan's uneasiness.

"That's good! But we still need to solve their dilemma as soon as possible! Otherwise, they will be trapped to death sooner or later!"

Qin Ruhuan was worried, pacing back and forth in the room with her hands tightly clenched on the corners of her clothes.

At this time, Fei Ye walked over quickly, cupped his hands and said, "Princess, why don't you send someone to ask the prince for help! The prince will definitely not ignore General Huo's predicament!"

Qin Ruhuan nodded slightly, a glimmer of hope flashing in her eyes: "That's what I was thinking! It seems that now I can only ask the prince for help!"

"Qianxun, send a pigeon to tell our people to ask Prince Jing to rescue General Huo!" Qin Ruhuan had a serious expression, her brows slightly furrowed, and her tone was filled with unquestionable determination.

"Yes! Miss! I'll do it right away!" Chihiro said, then turned around and left in a hurry.

Not long after, Qianxun came back to report: "Miss, the carrier pigeon has been transmitted. I believe there will be news soon." Qin Ruhuan nodded slightly, but her heart was still hanging.

Just as everyone was anxiously waiting, a spy hurried over and knelt down to report: "Miss, it's bad! The enemy seems to have received reinforcements, and the offensive is getting more fierce. I'm afraid Yunxiao City can't hold out for much longer!"

Qin Ruhuan's heart tightened, she bit her lip and said, "Send someone else to investigate, and be sure to keep a close eye on the situation over there!"
