Double Life: The Sickly Prince Eavesdrops on My Heart

Inside Prince Jing’s Palace.

Bai Xiaofeng sat on a chair carved from pearwood, eating some snacks while saying, "The snacks at the Jing Palace are not as delicious as those at the Zuo Xiang Mansion. Tsk tsk tsk tsk!"

Xiao Jingxuan glanced at him and said, "Eating won't stop you from talking! How is the development of my medicine going?"

Bai Xiaofeng sat up straight and shook his head, saying, "It is indeed difficult. This cold poison is really too difficult to cure! We are still short of two herbs. I am sending people to actively look for them!"

Xiao Jingxuan said coldly: "I think you don't want the title of miracle doctor anymore!"

"No, no, no! I'll do it as soon as possible. Alas! After all, you are not my biological child. That woman was too cruel to you! She even found the poison of the iceberg snow silkworm! Bai Xiaofeng shook his head and took a sip of tea.

A bitter smile appeared on Xiao Jingxuan's handsome face with sharp edges. When he was young, he couldn't understand why his mother didn't like him. No matter how he tried to please her, he couldn't get a good look from her!

It was not until he grew up that he found out that he was not born by the Empress Dowager, and his biological mother, Concubine Yi, was killed by the Empress Dowager!

He had been suffering from the cold poison for the past five years, and it was all because of her!

At this moment, Fei Ye walked in quickly: "Your Majesty, the Third Prince has made a move!"

Xiao Jingxuan collected his thoughts and said seriously: "You can say whatever you want, Xiaofeng is not an outsider."

"The third prince has been in frequent contact with the right prime minister, the minister of revenue, and the minister of personnel recently!" Fei Ye said.

Xiao Jingxuan held the black jade teacup and thought, "He should be making a big move soon, keep an eye on him!"

Fei Ye suddenly raised his head: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing I don't know whether I should tell you."

Xiao Jingxuan turned his head and looked at him, a little puzzled. The boy hesitated and said, "Speak!"

"The day before yesterday, I followed the Third Prince and found out that he was meeting a woman, Qin Yue, the daughter of the Imperial Censor Qin Wei! They were having an affair in an inn...!" Fei Ye said this with his face flushed!

Fei Ye touched his head and continued, "They also said they wanted to harm someone. It seemed to be a woman named Hua!"

After hearing this, Xiao Jingxuan and Bai Xiaofeng looked at each other and said, "Qin Ruhuan! It's Qin Ruhuan's shameless cousin!"

What a nest of snakes and rats!

The Third Prince probably failed to win over the Left Prime Minister Qin Lang, so he wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible, starting with the people around him! Xiao Jingxuan's eyes were deep and cold, with a hint of cruelty.

A private room in Zuiyue Tower.

Qin Ruhuan picked up a piece of lotus crisp and put it in her mouth. Qianxun poured tea and said, "Master, we have found out something about Qin Yue."

Ruhuan took a sip of tea. The freshly picked Wuliqing tea was refreshing and fragrant, leaving a lingering taste on her lips and teeth.

"Come and listen! Sit down!

Qianxun sat opposite Qin Ruhuan. It was the first time for him to face his master, the young master of Qianxun Pavilion, who was also an extremely beautiful woman.

"Qin Yue is the Third Prince's person! She has an unusual relationship with the Third Prince. Lord Left Prime Minister disdains to associate with her, and because of this he offended the Third Prince!" Qianxun said, avoiding his master's gaze.

Qin Ruhuan nodded gently, "That's true, I know she has a relationship with the Third Prince!"

The Emperor of Dasheng Kingdom has a total of six princes. The third prince is the most powerful one among them. He is the only son of Concubine Yu, and his uncle is the right prime minister of the current dynasty.

"Master, you have to be careful of Qin Yue. Her previous kindness and obedience were all a disguise. She saw the master having some dealings with Prince Jing that day, and I'm afraid she would harm you secretly. The Third Prince will not allow the Prime Minister's Mansion and Prince Jing's Mansion to marry!" Qianxun lowered her head and did not dare to look at Qin Ruhuan after saying this.

Qin Ruhuan glared: "Who wants to marry him? I will never marry him!" Qin Ruhuan thought: Marrying him is fatal! I don't want to die again!

Qianxun was so scared that she stood up quickly, "Master, please forgive me, I was wrong!"

Qin Ruhuan looked at Qianxun's nervous expression and couldn't help but laugh: "You don't have to be so nervous, and you don't have to call me master all the time. You are not my servant. You can call me Ruhuan or you can call me Miss like Chunhua and the others."

Qianxun's fair face turned red: "Yes...Miss." He wanted to call her Ruhuan, but after all, it was a bit inappropriate, so forget it.

"Qianxun, what happened after Qin Yue was sent back home?" Qin Ruhuan asked, picking up a piece of plum cake.

Qianxun was stunned. He didn't expect the young lady to ask this. He was a little embarrassed. "Young... Miss, after she returned to the mansion, she grabbed two guards and entered the room..."

"Okay, I got it. Send someone to keep an eye on the Third Prince, and also pay attention to any news about King Jing! Take out 50,000 taels to buy silk from Jiangnan. The price will double in half a month!" Qin Ruhuan said gently.

"Okay, miss, I will do it! Don't worry!" Although Chihiro was a little puzzled as to why the miss knew the president of the Silk Association, she still answered readily.

How could he know that Qin Ruhuan had already died once? In the previous life, the price of Jiangnan Silk surged just half a month later. This was a blessing in disguise!

In the Censorate, after Qin Yue was sent back, the medicinal power of Hehuan Powder had reached its limit. Although the dosage was very small, she had deliberately made this medicine of extremely high purity, and just a little was enough to make a person lose their mind.

The guards from the Censorate took Qin Yue in, and two of them carried her back to her room. She was pulling at her clothes as she walked, and she didn't look like a lady from a noble family at all!

Her face was flushed and her hair was loose. She held the guard's hand tightly, her body half hanging on him, and she felt a little more comfortable this way.

When she entered the courtyard, her personal maid Cai Ling came out to greet her, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

The guard helped her into the room, and she slammed the door shut, "Miss, don't do this..." The guard was so frightened that he didn't know what to do.

"Neither of you are allowed to leave. If you leave, you will die!" Qin Yue shouted like crazy.

Cai Ling was so scared that she was shaking all over outside the door. She immediately ran outside and sent everyone else in the yard away.

She was standing not far outside the house. She was a little scared. If the lady knew about this, she would definitely be the first one to punish her!

But as a maid, she couldn't take care of her own lady. What else could she do? She could only stay here and watch over her.

Not long after, some noises were heard from inside the house. Cai Ling's face turned red and she covered her ears tightly with her hands.

Suddenly, she saw several people coming in front of her, and the leader was none other than the eldest lady, Qin Yue's mother.

Cai Ling was so frightened that she shouted in panic, "Miss, the Madam is here! Miss!"

Unfortunately, Qin Yue was so engrossed in her studies that she did not hear the maid's call and watched as the Madam and several maids were about to approach her.

She knocked on the door anxiously. "Miss, Miss, the lady is here!"

At this time, the eldest lady had already arrived in the courtyard. Seeing Cai Ling's panic, she was very angry and asked, "Why are you so flustered?"

"Where is Yue'er? Let her come out?" the adult said with an unhappy look on his face.

Cai Ling was so frightened that she knelt down hurriedly, "Madam, please spare me! Madam, please spare me!"

The eldest lady kicked her away and walked towards the house.

Cai Ling's face turned ashen with fear and she was trembling.

The eldest lady kicked the door open and looked up to see the disgusting scene. She turned around and shouted, "Qin Yue, you are so brave! Put on your clothes and come out!"

All the maids had their backs to the lady and no one dared to look up. The oppressive atmosphere made people dare not breathe, for fear that if the lady got angry, they would be the ones to be executed!

After Qin Yue and others came out, the eldest lady acted swiftly and decisively. The two guards were taken away for punishment. Qin Yue was slapped by his mother and punished to kneel in the ancestral hall for three days.

The most tragic person was Cai Ling. The eldest lady thought that she had failed in her duty to protect the young lady, so she was ruthlessly sold out.

Qin Yue looked at Cai Ling who was crying and sobbing, but did not even plead for her. She just watched coldly as Cai Ling was taken away.
