Double Life: The Sickly Prince Eavesdrops on My Heart

Inside the main hall of the Dasheng Kingdom’s palace.

Emperor Wen, Xiao Jingyu, was wearing a bright yellow brocade robe with dragon embroidery, with sharp eyebrows, phoenix eyes, and a high nose bridge! He had a natural air of majesty. He was Xiao Jingxuan's brother.

In the hall, the ministers stood in two rows on the left and right. King Jing was wearing a white brocade robe, with a purple gold jade belt around his waist. He was tall and thin, cold and elegant, and he looked like a banished immortal.

"My Lords, there have been bandit attacks in Qingyue Mountain, a hundred miles outside of Kyoto, recently. The other day they even slaughtered a nearby village in a frenzy. I was shocked to hear about this!"

After hearing this, the ministers were talking about it. "It's so cruel!" "How dare they be so presumptuous under the emperor's feet? How can justice tolerate this!"

"My dear ministers, do you have any suggestions?" Emperor Wen looked at his ministers.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the troops personally to suppress the bandits, put an end to the troubles and bring stability to the people!" said the prince in a stern manner.

"Your Highness, you can't do that! Your Highness is the foundation of the country, how can you afford to lose him?" the Left Prime Minister said anxiously.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the troops to suppress the bandits. Please grant my permission!" General Huo Zhong said in a firm tone.

Emperor Wen looked at him and shook his head. "How can General Huo go to war when his old injury hasn't healed yet?"

King Jing Xiao Jingxuan stepped forward and said solemnly: "Brother, I am willing to share the worries of His Majesty!"

Seeing this, the Right Prime Minister and the Minister of Revenue and others said, "Prince Jing is brave and heroic, and he is also a famous war god general of our Great Sheng Kingdom. He will definitely succeed in suppressing the bandits. Please grant your approval, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Wen looked helpless. His younger brother was indeed brave and invincible, but he had been poisoned in the past few years and the poison often broke out, which was what he was worried about.

So he looked at Xiao Jingxuan and asked with concern: "Jingxuan, are you okay? I am a little worried!"

Xiao Jingxuan responded straightforwardly: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Everything is fine with me. I will definitely eliminate the banditry and bring peace to Qingyue Mountain!"

Emperor Wen raised his lips slightly and said, "Xiao Jingxuan, please accept my order. I order you to lead your troops to Qingyue Mountain to suppress the bandits today!"

"I accept your order."

At the palace gate, Right Prime Minister Zhang Quanxin and Minister of Personnel Zhao Zhuo smiled at each other and said, "Since someone wants to die, tell the third prince and fulfill his wish!" said the Right Prime Minister cruelly.

At Prince Jing's Mansion, Xiao Jingxuan was preparing to set off, with Fei Ye and Fei Xue accompanying him. Fei Ye said anxiously, "Prince, your cold poison will soon take effect in the next few days! What should we do?"

Xiao Jingxuan disagreed. What were just a few bandits?

"No problem. Go get the medicine from Bai Xiaofeng and come back to gather the troops and set off immediately!"

In the Wanfeng Tower in Kyoto, the Third Prince Xiao Qian and Qin Yue were drinking. Qin Yue picked up the wine pot and filled the Third Prince's glass. She half-hung on the Third Prince and said coquettishly, "Third Prince, that Qin Ruhuan has been embarrassing me recently. You must help me vent my anger!"

Xiao Qian glanced at this annoying demon, put his arm around her waist, and said wickedly: "As long as you are obedient and serve me well, I will definitely vent your anger for you!"

Qin Yue blushed and said shyly: "I am yours, and I only listen to you, Your Highness. You have supported me recently, and I can't wait any longer!"

Xiao Qian suddenly lowered his head and kissed her, then snapped his fingers and the guards outside the door came in immediately. Xiao Qian waved his hand and the guards leaned over to listen. Xiao Qian then said a few words, and the guards immediately turned around and left!

Qin Yue raised her glass and said with a smile, "Thank you, Your Highness," and then drank it down in one gulp!

In the Left Prime Minister's Mansion, Qin Ruhuan had just arrived at Madam Huo's yard. Bai Xiaofeng came for a follow-up visit today. Madam Huo's cough and asthma symptoms had improved, so she prescribed a few more medicines.

After seeing Bai Xiaofeng off, Qin Ruhuan changed into a light blue gauze dress embroidered with lotus flowers, a simple bun, and a simple and fresh makeup. She left the house with Chunhua and Qiuyue.

The group of three walked and shopped on the street, buying some jewelry and cakes. Yu Guangzhong and Qin Ruhuan always felt that someone was following them, but when they turned around, they found nothing.

It was almost noon, and Qin Ruhuan felt a little hungry, so she said to Chunhua and Qiuyue, "Let's go to Zuiyue Tower. I'll treat you to a good meal!"

We arrived at the private room on the second floor of Zuiyue Tower and ordered six dishes. The waiter called the boss over and brought some delicious snacks!

"Miss, it's great to have a restaurant. There are so many delicious foods!" Chunhua Qiuyue said happily while eating.

Qianxun, wearing a long robe with a crescent moon and auspicious clouds, walked in, bowed and said with a smile: "Miss, you are here, the 50,000 taels of Jiangnan silk have been bought!"

Qin Ruhuan looked at the handsome young man. She didn't expect that he was so decisive despite his young age. She also heard that he was skilled in martial arts! "Not bad, well done! Come sit down and eat together!"

Seeing Qin Ruhuan so happy, Qianxun was also happy and sat down. He had never seen a master as humble as the young lady!

"Miss, Prince Jing received an imperial decree to go to Qingyue Mountain to suppress bandits. According to my subordinates, someone is plotting to kill him! Also, today, the Third Prince and Qin Yue met at Wanfeng Tower, but we were unable to learn the specific plot!"

Qin Ruhuan picked up a piece of fish and put it in her mouth. It tasted delicious. "Although I have no friendship with King Jing, he is upright and brave. I will send someone to find a way to remind him!"

"Okay, I'll send someone to do it!" Chihiro replied.

After the meal, they left Zuiyue Tower. Seeing that it was still early, Qin Ruhuan suggested going to the farm in the suburbs to take a look. It was the farm that Mrs. Huo came with as a dowry, and it was called Furong Garden.

A few people called a carriage, sat in the car, and looked at the scenery outside the window from time to time. When they were out of the city, there were lush trees everywhere. It was only a few miles away. The three of them were talking and laughing happily.

Suddenly, the carriage jolted violently, and the three of them bumped into each other. "Driver, what's going on?"

Without waiting for the driver to answer, they only heard a scream, and then there was no movement. Several people were frightened. The curtain of the carriage was suddenly pulled open by a sword, and a masked man in black came up.

The man just sneered and said, "Who is the lady?"

Qin Ruhuan pretended to be calm: "What do you want from me?"

The man pointed his sword at Chunhua Qiuyue and said, "You two, get out! Get out now! If you don't, I'll chop you down!"

"We won't leave, Miss... Miss..." the two said in tears.

"Chunhua, hurry up and leave. Chihiro is still waiting for you!" Qin Ruhuan said with her eyes.

Chunhua Qiuyue immediately understood what Qin Ruhuan meant. The lady must be asking them to go back and find Qianxun! The two stumbled back!

The man in black took out a black cloth and blindfolded Qin Ruhuan, tied her hands and feet with ropes, and continued to drive the carriage forward!

Although Qin Ruhuan was not panicked, it was useless to be afraid at this moment. She had to calm down and look for a chance to save herself. It might take some time for Qianxun to find her.

But how can we save ourselves?
