Double Life: The Sickly Prince Eavesdrops on My Heart

Xiao Jingxuan's eyes were filled with murderous intent: The account from the previous life has not been settled yet, and you come to provoke me again in this life, so don't blame me for being rude!

"Feixue, just tell His Majesty these things normally, and leave it to Him to decide what to do! I also want to know whether he will protect his son or his brother!"

"Yes!" Feixue took the order and walked away.

When Emperor Wen heard Feixue's report, he was immediately furious and ordered people to bring the assassin up. The assassin repeated what he had said before in front of the emperor.

After hearing this, Emperor Wen's face was terribly gloomy. "Come here! Summon the crown prince, and send someone to arrest Zhao Gang!"

No one in the room dared to speak. Emperor Wen rarely got so angry, and everyone was afraid of getting themselves into trouble.

In a moment, the prince arrived.

As soon as the prince came in, he felt that the air pressure in the room was very low. Everyone had their heads down, and there was a man in black kneeling on the ground in the middle of the floor. The prince suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Father, what brings me here? Do you have any clues about the assassin?"

Emperor Wen's face turned pale, his eyes glared, and he threw the assassin's confession away in an instant!

The prince was stunned, "Father, what happened?"

He picked up the confession that had fallen to the ground and took a closer look. When he saw the words Zhao Gang, he was immediately frightened. How did his uncle do things? Didn't he say that the person he found was very reliable and would not betray him? How could this person be so unreliable? Did he want to kill me?

"Father, this matter has nothing to do with me. I really didn't know about it! Please understand! How could I hire someone to assassinate my uncle? I can't even show my respect to him enough!"

Emperor Wen showed a hint of sneer on his face, "Don't you know? He is your uncle. Without your permission, how dare he, a minor official of the seventh rank, do that?" After saying that, he slammed the table fiercely!

The prince was a little flustered, "Father, Father, I was also assassinated, and you see I'm injured, it can't be that I sent someone to hurt me!"

After hearing this, Emperor Wen's expression relaxed a little. "Come here, bring up the assassin who killed the crown prince! I want to interrogate him personally!"

In a moment, several assassins were brought up.

"Who ordered you to assassinate the crown prince? Now I am personally interrogating you. If you tell the truth, I can give you a lighter sentence. You are committing a serious crime of exterminating your entire family. If you tell the truth, I will not pursue the guilt of your family. I keep my word and will never go back on my word!"

Several men in black looked at each other and said loudly, "Your Majesty, please forgive our families. We are willing to confess that it was the men of Zhang Chao, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, who found us!"

Emperor Wen was quite shocked. Zhang Chao was usually a low-key person, so how could he do such a thing? Zhang Chao was the cousin of the third prince's mother and had a very close relationship with the third prince.

"Someone come! Xuan the Third Prince!"

Emperor Wen was so angry that his chest was heaving. The Crown Prince was suspected of assassinating King Jing, and the Third Prince was suspected of assassinating the Crown Prince. There was really nothing to worry about.

The third prince hurried over, looking a little panicked.

As soon as he came in and saw the men in black kneeling on the ground, he was immediately panicked.

"Father, why did you ask me to come here?"

"The assassin confessed that the mastermind behind the assassination of the prince was your cousin Zhang Chao! How do you explain this?"

When the third prince heard this, he knew it was over. The assassin had confessed.

"Father, I have never heard of this matter! I am not aware of it. Please look into it carefully! Is there any misunderstanding here? How could my cousin assassinate the prince?"

"The evidence is irrefutable. There is no misunderstanding! Come! Capture Zhao Gang and Zhang Chao immediately!"

"Take the Crown Prince and the Third Prince back to the palace and temporarily place them under house arrest from today until the suspicion is cleared." Emperor Wen ordered.

Xiao Jingxuan received the message quickly. At that time, he was chatting with Bai Xiaofeng, Fei Ye and others.

Upon learning that the person who assassinated the crown prince was actually the Third Prince's men, they felt a little surprised, but also felt that there were clues to follow.

The Crown Prince has recently fallen out of favor with the Emperor due to the Queen's dethronement, and many of the Crown Prince's followers have turned to the more powerful Third Prince.

The war for the throne has just begun and will become even more intense later!

"This time the Crown Prince actually dared to openly hire someone to assassinate the Prince. It seems that he has been sitting on the throne of the Crown Prince for too long! The Prince might as well hand over the evidence he had obtained!" Feixue said angrily.

"Well, Feixue, go and prepare the evidence and witnesses! Once the spring hunt is over, let the fun begin.

"Yes, Your Majesty. I will do my best to get it done!" After saying that, Feixue turned and left.

The people who participated in the Spring Hunting Party also heard the inside story of the assassination one after another, but everyone pretended that they knew nothing and continued to stay there peacefully.

The next day.

The Spring Hunting Party was not affected by the incident involving the Crown Prince and the Third Prince, and continued. However, the princes and others kept a low profile, fearing that they would displease the Emperor and be severely punished.

"The hunt begins!" shouted the eunuch.

Everyone rode their horses and rushed into the woods.

Today, sisters Qin Rushi and Qin Ruqi gave up hunting and chose to stay in the camp to play. They were frightened yesterday, and the assassination incident also happened, so the two sisters chose to stay.

Qin Ruhuan was wearing a black men's suit today, with her hair tied up high, and she looked even cooler and more stunning while riding on a horse.

Qianxue and she rode into the forest together. Xiao Jingxuan followed closely behind them.

Fei Ye and Bai Xiaofeng followed closely behind him. When Bai Xiaofeng, who was dressed in white, saw Qianxue, he immediately rode his horse to catch up with her.

"Hey! Girl! Shall we continue the competition today? I didn't perform well yesterday, can we try again today?"

Qianxue glared at him fiercely, "No!"

After saying that, he ran away, with Bai Xiaofeng chasing closely after him.

Qin Ruhuan saw that the two of them actually had some interactions, it seemed like she missed something yesterday!

Xiao Jingxuan caught up with her and walked side by side with her, "Ruhuan, I'll accompany you! The forest is dangerous!"

Qin Ruhuan said teasingly, "It seems like you are more dangerous!"

"I......" Xiao Jingxuan was speechless.

But it seemed that his little woman did not deny it, so it was okay, and the corners of her mouth curled up again.

Because the Third Prince and the Crown Prince's two groups of men were missing today, there were fewer people in the forest, and the prey seemed easier to hunt.

After a while, Qin Ruhuan hunted two rabbits and a pheasant, and Xiao Jingxuan hunted a sheep and a rabbit.

It looks like today is another fruitful day.

When everyone returned in the afternoon, almost all of them came back with full loads.

As the emperor was in a bad mood tonight, he did not eat with everyone, so he simply sent a few cooks to have everyone barbecue over the campfire and have fun.

It was a rare opportunity for everyone to relax, and even a few princes joined in the dance.

Xiao Jingxuan grilled a few more skewers of venison and gave them to Qin Ruhuan, "This is cooked to the perfect temperature, try it!"

Qin Ruhuan rolled her eyes at him. This man had fed her all kinds of food all night long, and her belly became round after eating so much.

Bai Xiaofeng was sitting next to Qianxue, constantly bringing her meat and wine, barely managing to win Qianxue's favor.

Bai Xiaoru came over and handed a chicken drumstick to Qin Ruhuan, "Sister Qin, have a chicken drumstick!"

Turning around, he saw Bai Xiaofeng, "Cousin, you are here too. I haven't seen you in the past two days!"

When Bai Xiaofeng turned around, he saw Bai Xiaoru's half-smile, "Xiaoru, I've been busy hunting, come and have some venison!" After saying that, he handed over a skewer of meat in a flattering manner.

"So you are cousins!" Qin Ruhuan only then realized that these two people were actually relatives.
