Double Life: The Sickly Prince Eavesdrops on My Heart

A moment later, the imperial physician came hurriedly and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, I am late!"

Emperor Wen pointed at the prince and said, "Stop talking nonsense! Bandage him quickly!"

The imperial physician walked over tremblingly, cut open the prince's sleeve, revealing a bloody wound. The wound was quite deep, but fortunately there was no poison on the knife!

The imperial physician disinfected the wound, applied some medicine, and bandaged it.

"Prince! Tell us what happened?" Emperor Wen asked.

"Father, we were chasing our prey when suddenly dozens of men in black appeared and started fighting without any explanation. Later, my reinforcements arrived and I was able to escape successfully. It was really too dangerous!" He said this with a pitiful look on his face.

Emperor Wen looked distressed, "My son is frightened! Go back and rest for a while!"

The prince nodded, "Thank you for your concern, father!"

When he turned around, his eyes met Xiao Jingxuan's, so he asked knowingly: "How did the emperor's uncle also get assassinated? Is he injured?"

Xiao Jingxuan smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am not injured! Please take care of yourself, Your Highness!"

After saying that, Xiao Jingxuan also left the tent.

When Xiao Jingxuan returned to his tent, he just opened the door curtain and stepped in, and saw a figure rushing towards him!

"Uncle! Are you okay? I was very worried when I heard that you were assassinated!" After saying that, the Sixth Prince circled around Xiao Jingxuan.

Xiao Jingxuan raised his hand and flicked his forehead, "I'm fine, don't make a fuss!"

"Oh, uncle, you hit me again, it hurts!" The Sixth Prince said while rubbing his head.

Among Xiao Jingxuan's six nephews, the Sixth Prince has the closest relationship with him. He has liked to follow him since he was a child, and even his martial arts were taught by Xiao Jingxuan himself!

For the Sixth Prince, Xiao Jingxuan is both his teacher and his father, and their relationship is closer than that of biological father and son.

The Sixth Prince was intelligent and studious, and his martial arts skills improved rapidly, which made him very much loved by King Jing.

"Uncle, have you found out who wants to assassinate you?"

When Xiao Jingxuan mentioned this, a murderous look appeared in his eyes. "There is no evidence yet, but I roughly know who it is!"

At this time, Bai Xiaofeng also walked in and looked around Xiao Jingxuan from head to toe. "My Lord, are you okay? Who is so bold as to assassinate someone in broad daylight?"

Xiao Jingxuan looked back at him, as if he had almost forgotten about this kid, "Where did you go? You disappeared into the forest!"

"My dear prince, didn't you see how many preys were hanging outside the tent? I caught them all for you! I was almost dead from exhaustion!" He said this with an expression as if asking for praise.

Just as Xiao Jingxuan was about to speak, Fei Ye walked in and teased, “Your Majesty, he spent the entire afternoon hunting with a woman!”

After saying that, he raised an eyebrow at Bai Xiaofeng.

Bai Xiaofeng rolled his eyes at him, "Your Highness, don't listen to his nonsense. I just met an opponent and made a bet with her to see who can catch more prey! What do you mean by accompanying a woman? It's totally nonsense!"

Xiao Jingxuan watched them bickering but did not stop them. He sat aside and started drinking tea. However, in his mind, he was thinking about the scene when he accidentally kissed Qin Ruhuan in the forest during the day. Unconsciously, a sweet smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The Sixth Prince was the first to see it, and then he poked Fei Ye and Bai Xiaofeng with his hand and raised his chin to signal them to look at Xiao Jingxuan.

When the two looked over, the man's smile was still on his face, and he couldn't suppress it.

It was the first time for them to see him smile in so many years, and they were all a little surprised. No one spoke, and they just stared at him blankly.

In a moment, Xiao Jingxuan found that the room had become quiet. He looked up and saw several people staring at him, "What are you guys looking at?"

The three of them shook their heads at the same time, turned around and walked out.

After coming out, the three of them immediately gathered together to discuss, "Fei Ye, have you ever seen the emperor's uncle laugh like this? I haven't seen it!"

Fei Ye shook his head, and Bai Xiaofeng also shook his head.

"No, Lao Xiao, something's wrong!" Bai Xiaofeng said seriously.

"Does the emperor's uncle have a sweetheart? Which girl is it?"

Bai Xiaofeng made a hush gesture with his fingers and shook his head mysteriously, "The secret cannot be revealed!"

"Fei Ye, you know it, right? Tell me now! Otherwise I won't be able to sleep at night!"

Fei Ye made a gesture to keep quiet, "If you say it, you will be punished!"

The Sixth Prince was furious. "You two are keeping me in suspense, aren't you? I'll check it out myself. This woman must have come to the Spring Hunt this time!"

"Hmph!" Then he walked away angrily.

In less than a quarter of an hour, my father-in-law came to notify us to have dinner.

The location was chosen to be the open space outside everyone's tent. Tables and chairs had already been set up, and three large grills were filled with roasted lamb, venison, pheasant, and rabbit!

The fragrance could be smelled from far away, and the table was filled with various fruits, pastries, and many palace dishes!

This time, Emperor Wen specially brought three chefs and a dozen deputy chefs with him, just to make everyone enjoy the meal!

Everyone found their seats and sat down one by one. In the middle was Emperor Wen, Xiao Jingyu. The first one on the right was the Crown Prince, followed by Prince Jing and several other princes. At the back were the sons of old ministers.

The female members sat on the other side, headed by Concubine Yu, followed by Princess Xiao Ya, and behind them were the wives of ministers.

Unfortunately, behind Princess Xiao Ya was Qin Ruhuan. Qin Ruhuan frowned slightly and thought: If I sit with this plague god, I will probably choke to death while eating!

Xiao Jingxuan was sitting diagonally opposite her. The two of them were not far away, separated only by a table.

When Xiao Jingxuan heard her complaints, he raised his head, twitched the corners of his lips slightly, and then looked away as if nothing had happened. He couldn't let Qin Ruhuan know about this. Although he didn't understand why he could only hear what Qin Ruhuan was thinking, but not what others were thinking!

Sitting below Qin Ruhuan was Bai Xiaoru. Since they had met once during the day, they smiled at each other this time as a greeting.

The barbecue was finally ready. In front of each person there was a plate of skewers of various meats. The aroma of the meat filled the air, making people drool.

Everyone was afraid to move their chopsticks and sat politely. "Everyone! You all have come with me hunting today, thank you for all the hard work! Don't be restrained, eat and drink as much as you want!"

This time everyone started eating.

Qin Ruhuan picked up a small skewer of venison and tasted it. It was indeed delicious. It was rare to eat barbecue with this flavor on a normal day!

Bai Xiaoru, who was eating skewers, leaned over to Qin Ruhuan and whispered, "Thank you for reminding me during the day. I almost fell into an underground trap today. Because of your reminder, I paid more attention and grabbed the branch next to me the moment I fell in, so I was able to escape danger!"

Qin Ruhuan looked at her with a smile and said softly, "I'm glad you're okay!"

"If you hadn't warned me, I would have fallen into it without any preparation and would have been in danger! Come, Sister Qin, let me toast you!"

After that, they each filled a glass of plum wine, clinked glasses and drank it all in one gulp!

Xiao Jingxuan couldn't help but look over here during the meal, but Qin Ruhuan was either eating or talking to Bai Xiaoru, and didn't even look at him.

Xiao Jingxuan's face turned a little ugly. When his eyes looked towards the opposite side again and again, the Sixth Prince next to him also looked over here in the direction he was looking!

The Sixth Prince smiled: Oh, so the person the Emperor's uncle likes is actually her! What a beautiful lady! Oh! No! It's the Emperor's aunt!
